SUICIDE THEORY DISPROVEN IN SHEATSLEY CASE Chemists Say Minister’s Wife Killed Before Being Put Into Furnace.

Columbus, O.. Dec. 3.—Further evidence to support County Prosecutor John R. King’s theory that Mrs Addie Sheatsley, wife of the Rev. C. V. Sheatsicy, Bexley pastor, was dead befom her body entered the furnace.in the basement of the parsonage, was given the prosecutor late yesterday when experts repoi ced that an analysis of the blood of two guinea pigs created alive in the same furnace r veakd large quanities of carbon-mc oxide. The te-. was made al the order of Prosecutor g m determine whether a living ihiug cast into the furnace would inhale a sufficient amount of the poisonous gas to he evident in the blood before death. An analysis of blood from the lungs of Mrs. Sheatsley showed no signs of carbonmonoxide, chemists previously had

reported.

Much Poison Shown. The experts, Dr. H. M. Brundage, pathologist and C. F. Long, chemist, reported to the prosecutor today that their analysis showed the blood of the guinea pigs to be “literally saturated with carbon-monoxide.” The guinea pig experiment was conducted under conditions which Mr. King declared were as nearly as possible like those at the time the minister’s wife is believed to have met he; death.. •As a * *€«rW of the * peris lent .X S SC , 'v -- -1 «>. _ W.. M V . Jw —r man was dead before her body entered the furnace. Had she been alive, they declared ip the report, carbonmonoxide would have been found in her blood, as in the blood of the guinea pigs. The experts conferred with the prosecutor during the afternoon. What further action the prosecutor tor will take was ::oi indicated. The creamated body of Mrs. Sheatsley was taken from the furnace of the parsonage more than three weeks ago. Her husband, the Rev. C. Y. Sheatsley, pastor of Christ Lutheran church of Bexley, a wealthy suburb, found the body when he returned from an afternoon in town. The coroner’s preliminary report cited suicide as a possible solution to the mystery, but Prosecutor King ordered an investigation. Three weeks of questioning of members of the family and neighbors, has thrown no light on the mystery, the prosecu-

MUSCLE SHOALS IS DOMINANT ISSUE BEFORECONCRESS

Senate and House To Take Uf> Alabama Property Problem Today.

Washington, Dec. 3.—The Muscle Shoals problem which lias been the subject of controversy for years, has become for the time being the dominant issue before Congress. It comes up by unanimous consent in the Senate today for action and last night it appeared the subject may be debated for several days. After the argument has been spent it is probable that an entirely new proposal may be submitted with the backing of the administration. President Coolidge is known to favor the appointment of a commission to study the whole subject and submit a plan of action. It is regarded as highly probable that suficient votes can be mustered to carry out his idea. Three Plans Proposed. As the situation stand now there will be three outstanding contenders seeking the privilege of settling the Muscle Shoals issue. Chairman Norris of the Senate agriculture com mittee is prepared to press the Norris bill, which was reported by the committee at the last session. Senator Underwood (Democrat, Alabama) will lead a fight for a bill he introduced to fill the breach caused by the withdrawal of Henry Ford’s offer. Then there will be the administration plan which probably will be sponsored by Senator Curtis, Republican floor leader. A proposal similar to the administration plan was advanced yesterday in the House in a . join resolution introduced by Representative Wright (Democrat, of Ga.) Senator Wadsworth (Republican, New York), also is prepared if the opportunity arises, to support the Hooker-White-Atterbury profit-shar-ing proposal, which has been for some time before Secretary Weeks. There is, too, the possibility that Henry Ford may be brought back into the field of bidders through the request made to him today by Senator Haflin, Alabama and McKeller, Tennessee, Democrats. Would Substitute Norris Bill. When the subject is called up tomorrow, it is planned to offer the Norris bill as a substitute to the bill authorizing acceptance of Ford’s offer. If the Norris bill is received as a substitute, Senator Underwood is expected to offer his bill as a substitute to the Norris bill. This would bring the Underwood bill under the Senate for first considera-

tion.

Senator Underwood and Norris are both prepared to discuss their bills in great detail, and each is- understood to have strong support, while a larger number of senators have expressed themselves as having an open mind on the subject. Senator Norris declared yesterday he would make an effort to block a long, aimless discussion of the issue, and hopes to determine whether the administration forces plan to oppose all of the present proposals or have a definite course mapped out for solution of the problem. Ladd Would Leave To President. Senator Ladd, North Dakota, ai member of the insurgent group, said he was in favor of submitting the whole issue squarely to President Coolidge for settlement. The North Dakota senator was a supporter of the Ford bid. o Be Careful About Addressing Gift& One of the important features in the Shop Early, Mail Early campaign, which is being put on thruout the country by the Post Office Department, is the proper addressing anff securely wrapping of Christmas packages. When you wrap your Christmas packages, wrap them securely, put your address in the up--per left corner, so, if by any chance*,, it should go astray, it can be returned to you and not sent to the dead letter office. The good folks of our community last year helped to bring joy and happiness to hundreds of thousands of postmen and clerks. Let’s do our shopping early and mailing early again this year, so that we may again enable the post men and the post office clerks to eat their Chrismas dinners home with their families and at the same time assure ourselves of having our Christmas presents delivered to our friends in order that they may be opened on Christmas morning.

WORLD POLICY Address Before Golden Rule Dinner of Near East Relief Is Nation’s Platform.

AMERICA WILL DO HER SHARE

Ambassadors of Many Foreign Lands Give Endorsement to Golden Rule Idea.

The address of President Coolidge at the Golden Rule dinner of the Near Easi Relief in Washington a few days ago is one of the most important declarations on foreign policy and international relations which he has made since he assumed the presidency. In it he embodies, after profound thought and consideration, his conception of the position which the United States should assume in world affairs. He becomes the sponsor of the Golden Rule idea among nations, and his picture of the part America

the World War has been made occasion for many surveys. I need not recall the long period of unprecedented horrors that was the war. “But even now we are able to perceive the evidence that not all of the ultimate consequences are going to be bad. We are able to realize that a great boon has been conferred on humanity in the weeding out of irresponsible autocratic government. Peoples will be slow to adjust themselves fully to the new conditions. But we are able already to see clearly that the world is moving toward assured peace under a regime of free institutions. “It is moving in the right direction, and it is doing so because to a greater extent than ever before it has given itself over to the ethical guidance of that broad principle that has been written into our Golden Rule. In many of our relationships it is as yet little more than an ideal; but it is constantly approaching nearer and nearer to universal acceptance as an ideal and a guide. It is the best basis on which the individual may build for good citizenship, the state for permanence and safe progress, the world for universal peace and widely diffused well being. Seek to Help All “America is profoundly concerned in behalf of whatever promises to make the world a better neighborhood, and its peoples better neigh-

should take in European reconstruction is a permanent contribution to the basic documents of American statesmanship. The occasion of the dinner was made internationally notable by the preser" 0 of the diplomatic represehtaLaUs of many foreign countries. President Coolidge introduced his address by a reference to the significance of their presence as an endorsement of the Golden Rule campaign of the Near East Relief, which will culminate in the observance of Golden Rule Sunday on December 7. President Coolidge said, “It would be difficult to choose a theme more inspiring for such an occasion as this than that which has been made your text, the Golden Rule. I note with pleasure that an impressive number of the diplomatic corps in this capital are present. I extend greetings and appreciations for the approval which their presence signifies.” The President’s address was one of the longest he has made this fall, occupying several columns. The following extract is taken from a copy which has been printed for circulation in this state by the state Golden Rule Committee of the Near East Relief: Urges Golden Rule “That rule of ethical guidance which we have come to designate as the Golden Rule is common to all the great systems of religion and to the entire philosophy of human relationship. As St. Matthew writes it down, we read: ‘Therefore, ail things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them.’ It is a rule worthy of all acceptance and to be translated into the terms of relationships among communities and peoples, among races and nations. “Those among us v.ho are required to give consideration to the difficult and complicated relations between the great communities of the world; those whose concern is for the maintenance of peace, of mutual helpfulness and generous co-operation among the nations, will do well to keep always in the front of our thoughts this simple precept. The philosophers have examined it and found it good. 1 The writers whose hands held the ;! pen of inspiration have enjoined it i upon us. “With the passing generations it .1 comes more and more into acceptance as the soundest guide to human conduct. So, on an occasion such as this, designed to impress this concept of right relations among men and states, it is most reassuring to see gathered together so many who are accredited spokesmen of national concern*, and so Wany others who from their private stations in life have sought by their works of charity to give meaning, force and illumination to this noble conception. “I know you will all join me in the hope that what shall be said here and at many other gatherings which will have like inspiration and purpose will be accepted as significant of earnest hope and determined intent to further in every possible way the neighborly kindliness, the reciprocal helpfulness and the real brotherhood of all humanity. Anniversary of War I “We have just come to the end of a decade of the most momentous events in the modern world. The tenth anniversary of the beginning of

bors. We have no better wish than to be good and helpful neighbors with all. Though we may have seemed aloof from the scenes of conflict, our people insisted on bearing their j share in the world struggle. Later, when for a time chaos threatened, our people were ready with assistance for the unfortunate and suffering, i have seen tabulations which showed, item by item, a total of more than seventeen billion dollars of American wealth poured out in aid of our associates in the war, and of suffering peoples wherever they were to be found since the war. 82 Millions for Near East “Aside from ten billion dollars of loans to foreign treasuries, the total represented operations in private financing to the extent of three billions; three hundred millions to the Red Cross; contributions to the American relief administration, aggregating two hundred millions; the Near East Relief work, to which more than eighty-two million dollars was devoted, and other items represented by the work of a long list of other societies and associations. No appeal has gone unheeded by our people, whether in behalf of those who had been our friends or our enemies in time of conflict America Needs No Apology “I do not think that our country needs to assume any attitude of apology. I have every respect for the governmental and social institutions of other peoples, but I have little sympathy with our fellow citizens who profess to see in them something better adapted to our own needs than those which we have developed ourselves, and who are vaguely apolo getic of the fact that they are Americans. Neither have I any sympathy with those who arr unwilling or unable to look beyond our shores and who content themselves with an equally vague and unmeaning assertion of their Americanism. I reserve my approval for those who, while thoroughly American, yet do not propose to live unto themselves alone, who are oblivious neither to duty or to charity, but who cherish as individuals and as citizens the golden rule of action among our own people. American Plan Praised “It is my opinion that the policy adopted by America is the one most likely to promote peace and good will toward us among other nations. Our government has extended to other governments loans and credits, which they are beginning to repay. I believe there is a moral obligation to make such repayments, and for that reason I am opposed to the cancella* tion of international indebtedness. “It is through practical, workaday procedures that our country has sought to be helpful in a world filled with troubles. It may be admitted that our people give little confidencs to fine professions and pious phrases. “America is ready today^s always, to do its full share. It wants ths peace of good will and of the Golden Rule; not the peace of force imposed by those who have power. It does not want peace as an interlude of brightness here a’nd there in a world still addicted to war. It wants peace, as the normal, the right, the assured estate in a world from which a wiser generation shall have forever outlawed aggressive war.”

Doctor Lieb states that during the past two years he has collected data on twenty-seven cases where sudden death occurred during golf playing. Careful analysis showed that in practically every instance the individual was suffering from some organic trouble, the golf playing being merely a contributing cause of death. He states: “In other words, if these individuals had undergone careful physical inventories periodically and either given up the game on first evidence of serious organic handicap or had played within the limits of their strength and years, many of them would be alive today.” ” j That is where the trouble comes in—the difficulty of keeping a player, within the limits of his strength and the power of his organs to measure up to the strain put upon them in this game. The record Doctor Lieb submits of one case is decidedly interesting from the human as well as from the technical standpoint: BLOOD PRESSURE READINGS Before leaving locker room 170 After two out of bounds—no onlookers 195 After five minutes’ rest on second
