KILLS SELF AND SIX CHILDREN lowa Woman Commits Rash Act After Quarrel With Husband Mrs. Klsle Nollen, a <vmely farm wife of 30. left In a “suicide" letter today her explanation of why she piped deadly fumes into her bedroom and killed herself and six children. “I'm doing this because 1 see the family is not going to be raised up right," the letter said. Nollen found the bodies when he returned to hie heme yesterday morning after a quarrel with his j wife and an all-night “spree.” He found his wife's letter, accusing him of heavy drinking, and of beating her, in the mailbox. The sheriff said Nollen was dee- [ pendent. He ordered him watched. Mrs. Nollen died with her youngest child, Viola, 2 in her arms. At her feet was Orvin, 11. Apparently he had awakened as the fumes fil- | tered into the house, and crawled to his mother t".r help. Death*, caught the other four, Wilbert, 10, Paultne, 7, Karl, 6 and Leona, 4, as they left their upstairs bedrooms and staggered through the parlor toward their mother’s room. Noll -n later sat cn the running board eS the automobile which , manufactured the killing gases and told Sheriff A. C. Greene that he and his wife quarreled Saturday night—bitterly. He stalked from the house. His wife followed, got into the car, demanded to know where he was going. He told her it was “none of her business.” Nolen drove with her to Dennison, and entered the postoffice. . When he emerged the car wae gone. He went to visit some friends, and they took him home. He found his car backed up under the window of his wife’s room. A L«v- was placed over the exhaust pipe of the car, and run through the window. The automobile engine was running. -Mrs. Nollen's note said, in part “He has beat me up lots of times ; and I always forgot about that just because I loved -him and wanted to live with him . . . .I've always said if I couldn't live with him 1 didn't want to live, because there isn’t any ether beside Albert. . . .But I’m getting tired. I hope Albert will be happier when he Is rid of us.” READ VAN NUYS (CONTINUKD ri’.OM rxog ONE' advice,” the governor answered. After the editor's banquet, Townsend and Van Nuys walked down | a hall at the French Lick Springs hotel within a comparatively few feet of each other, each in a remarkably contrasting mood. Townsend calmly was headed toward his room and bed. He remarked to this writer what a fine meeting it was and said good night. A short distance away Van Nuys ( stode up to the elevator literally purple in the face. He was angry * through and through at the governor’s address levelling the guns of the administration directly in his face. "Why didn’t they let me speak after him," he roared, after him.” he roared, “I would have told them and my remarks would have been vastly different. “The governor made a cowardly j attack upon myself, my patriotism and democracy.” Van Nuys said he would fight' for renomination at the 1938 convention despite the opposition of the administration. What form this battle will take he did not re veal. But he is expected to go away on a brief vacation and then j return to tour the state building his political fences for 1938. • It was thoroughly obvious at French Lick that Sam Jackson, Fort Wayne attorney and chairman of the 1936 convention which - nominated Townsend, has the adMy Cider Mill will be open for custom work August 24, Tuesday and Wednesday of each week until the season ends.

Johnson to lodge a vigorous protest with the Chinese government at Nanking over the bombing of the American Dollar liner President Hoover by a Chinese war plane near Shanghai. Hull said the order had been transmitted to Johnson but that the state department had not been been advised whether the protest ; had been delivered. Hull said his instructions to Johnson directed the ainhassador to give his attention to every phase of the situation resulting from the bombing. Hull termed the bombing incident “unfortunate and deplorable,” and characterized it as one of the incidents which occur when condii tions exist such as those prevail--1 ing in the Shanghai area. At the same time Hull revealed that U. S. naval vessels in the vicinity of Shanghai stand ready to remove American nationals from that area whenever a group desires I to leave. This places in operation in the Shanghai area evacuation activities similar to those carried out by American warships in Spanish waters for the last 14 months. It was necessary. Hull said, because of the danger to American merchant ships calling at the port of Shanghai. Conveys Regrets Nanking, China, Aug. 30. —(U.R) — The Chinese ambassador at Washington was instructed today to convey to the state department the Chinese government's regrets over the bombing of the President Hoover and to offer immediate redress. The foreign office said in a statement: "Preliminary reports indicate that the President Hoover was between twe Japanese warships at the time of the bemhing and was mistaken by a Chinese pilot for a Japanese transport . . . "Negotiations have already been started at Nanking for an early settlement of the deplorable inci- ; lent.”

COLLEGE HEAD ~ TO BE NAMED Indiana U. Trustees Meet To Consider New President Indianapolis, Ang. 30 — <U.R> — The board of trustees of Indiana University met here today to con'sider selection of a permanent president of the institution to succeed President-emeritus William Lowe Bryan. Herman B. W’elis, former dean of the school of business administration, is serving as active president. There appeared to he no possl blllty that the new president would be named today. The hoard members instead will indulge in a process of elimination. Approximately 25 prominent educators have been suggested for the position and during the last seven months since Dr. Bryan made known his Intention of resigning, the board has been investigating the qualifications of those proposed. It is expected that the list will la- narrowed to three or four and then actual negotiations for acceptance of the position be started with these men. Gov. M. Clifford Townsend at the time of Dr. Bryan's resignation in June asked the board to select his successor by the start of the fall term of school, but this appears to be out of the question One board member was quoted a-; saying the selection might be made by Christmas. Despite rumors that former Gov. Paul V. McNutt, now U. S. commissioner to the Philippine Islands would be offered the position, such action was discounted today. Wayne Coy, administrative assistant to McNutt, said on a recent j visit here that the former governor is not interested in becoming president of the university. Dr. Frank Aydelotte of Swarthmore College has been reported as a favorite among some hoard members, with others inclining toward Walter Jessup, president of theUniversity of lowa. It also was reported today that ■ the trustees were considering crea- ■ tion of a position of vice-president |of the university to relieve the 1 president of much administrative i detail. r -O— — l LOCAL PASTOR ) (CON ; INtJ EU r'KOAI f A'<(, ONE) Olivet station.
