GIRL’S SUICIDE UNITES MIXED RACE LOVERS White Bride of Japanese Chooses Death by Gas as He Did a Year Ago. ‘BECAUSE I LOVE YOU' Note Left by Husband Urged Against Annulment of Marriage. Bn United Press EVANSVILLE, Ind., Oct. 22.—The last tragic request of Will Idi, little Japanese waiter, who committed suicide here a year ago because he feared his marriage to pretty Lillian McDaniels, of another race than his, would be annulled, has been ignored. In a note which Idi penned as he waited for death after opening a gas jet in his attic room, he wrote: "Dear My Wife: I am going to kill myselfe now. , . . Liilian I don’t annulled our marry because I love you. . . . But Lillian, don’t yo utry to kill yourselfe, because you have nice mother and father. Don’t let them have worry again.” Uses Same Death Method Lillian died today in a local hospital, some hours after she had chosen the same way out of life that her little husband had taken. She inhaled gas at the home of her parents. The girl, who had married a man named Ashby after her Japanese lover’s death, left no note to tell the reason for her going. She was separated from her second husband almost immediately. Relatives said she had been melancholy since that time and seemed to take no interest in life. Idi committed suicide by locking himself in an attic and turning on the gas jets after an attorney had threatened him with jail unless his bride of three days was sent back to her parents. Wrote as Gas Hissed His final note, which he wrote as he listened to'hissing of gas pouring into the sealed chamber was almost an epic and gained wide publicity. After begging his girl wife to continue living, he wrote: "Young lady, I can hear sound of the gas that killing me, but I won’t die yet. Anyway, I haven’t any hope to save my life if I miss you. I couldn’t live without you. I think death is best way I go.” Finally, he scrawled: “I am hard to keep write to you now. Well, good-by. Your William Idi.” Lillian’s body will be taken to Vandalia, Mo., home of the parents, for burial.

How the Market Opened

BH United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 22— Movements in early dealings on the stock exchange were very mixed today and traders were nervous as a result or liquidation which swamped the market in the last half hour Friday and carried on selective buying while long holders disposed of additional stock. U. S. Steel opened firm at 139 ’4, up Vs', but quickly dropped below 139, while General Motors got under 127 for a loss of more than a point. Other motor issues were mixed. Packard lost V 2; Mack gained 1% and Nash held unchanged. Railroad shares improved their position in several instances. Missouri Pacific spurted 1% to 56%, Atchison % to 185%, Western Maryland, 2% to 52% and Reading a point. General Electric was depressed a ooint, General Asphalt 94, American Tobacco B a point and American Smelting 94. Maryland featured the oil group, rising 1% to 34. Houston dropped five points to 146, on top of its decline of 14 points Friday. Weekly mercantile reviews reported signs of betterment in some departments of trade, with further evidence of increasing volume which promises eventually to gain substantial proportions. However, the main body of stocks had no time to devote in early dealings to anything outside of itself. Convulsive breaks in Friday’s late trading weakened many marginal accounts to an extent which forced liquidation at the opening, creating a heavy tone in the whole market. New lows on the movement were reached by Steel, General Motors and other leaders. Houston experienced a further sharp break. PREDICT MERCURY RISE Eight Degrees Higher Forecast by Weather Bureau.

Durant Portrays Civilization March, Step by Step, Cave to Skyscraper

r—-I ur civilization is built I upon a broader base than I I any civilization of the past, therefore, its apex will be higher,” Dr. Will Durant, author of “The Story of Philosophy,” told a general session of the Indiana State Teachers’ Association Friday night in Cadle Tabernacle, discussing “Is Progress a Delusion?”. “Judging by the past,” Durant said, “This civilization eventually will pass away,” but he emphasized that the findings df this age and preceding ages can'be passed on to the next, giving the future always a “head start.” Durant was introduced by Lemuel A. Pittenger, Ball Teachers’ College president. He followed Dean Chauncey S. Boucher, of Chicago University, who spoke on modem tendencies in higher education. Ten Steps of Progress In tracing the march of civilization out of the forest into cities of skyscrapers, Durant showed how one civilization by its discoveries always advances the next. "The ladder of progress has ten rungs,” Durant said, speech and fire being the first two. “Fire made man master of the dark. Once every sunset was a tragedy and man crept in terror into his cave—now we don’t creep into ours until dawn,” he added. The conquest and domestication of aninials and the transition from hunting to agriculture were the next two steps, Durant said. “First came the domestication of the cow, then the pig, and so on, until now man is woman’s last domesticated animal and the task just is begun,” he asserted.

SEEK TO QUASH BRIBE CHARGE Collins Merely Mayor’s Aid, Attorney Argues. The city purchasing agent is not legally a municipal official, but merely an employe subject to the mayor’s whims, without power to sign a contract, and, therefore, can not be charged with soliciting or accepting a bribe. v This was the argument with which Attorney Ira Holmes attempted to win freedom for City Purchasing Agent John J. Collins in Criminal Court before Special Judge Lew Wallace today. * The argument was upon a motion to quash the affidavit charging Collins with having solicited a SSOO bribe from a surgical instrument firm seeking a city hospital contract. Holmes declared that there would be no point in any one bribing Collins because he was not the man who had the final word upon the contract. Attorneys for Earl S. Garrett, former city market master, waited the end of the Collins argument to begin arguments in Criminal Court before Special Judge Jackson Carter upon the affidavit charging Garrett with having collected excessive fees from standholders. Both affidavits were filed last May ,at the time charges were brought against Mayor John L. Duvall and William C. Buser, then city controller. DRY Raids at Bedford Net 14 Pleas of Guilty. Nine Federal prohibition agents, headed by Harry L. Bendel, returned from Bedford today with the scalps of twenty-two more liquor law violators hanging to their belts. Aided by Sheriff Harry Gordon and Bewford police the dry sleuths raided Bedford blind tigers. Fourteen pleaded guilty in Lawrence County Circuit Court; four, not guilty, and four were dismissed. Sarah Williams was fined SIOO and sentenced to sixty days in jail and Louise Gill was fined SIOO and sentenced to thirty days. New York Curb Opening -° Ct - 31_ Bid. Ask.

Replacing violence with Justice, “bullets with ballots,” and development of morals were the fifth and sixth steps, he said. “The remarkable ascendency of woman proves the development of morals and gallantry, or the stronger sex would predominate,” he said. “Man is superior in intellect, woman in intelligence.” “The test of this is to take a, girl of 20 and a boy of 20 and see which wraps the other around her finger,” he said. “We think we are moral,” Durant continued, “because we for-

It’s Settled Bu Times Special l EVANSVILLE, Ind., Oct. 22. —A suit over a cow’s board bill, based on an Indiana statute passed in 1852, has been settled here, with a judgment for S3O against Adam Wolf in favor of Homer Spradley. A pasture for the cow was rented from Wolf by Spradley. Wolf alleged Spradley failed to pay for Bossy’s board and he sold her, declaring he was authorized to do so under the 1852 law. The court gave Spradley the S3O as representing the cow’s value.

That is not a moral question, it is a geographical consideration.” “Prisons are vacation resorts for tired murderers who go there to rest between acts,” he said. Pass on Our bindings Invention of machines, science, writing and education are final steps so far on the ladder, Durant asserted. “Writing enabled one generation to pass on to the next its own history and now enables one civilization to pass on to its successor its own findings,” he said. “Our schools and universities have defects, but they are the glory of our nation. Our young people come out of them not content to be ruled by mediocrity and sham, but determined to create a civilization worthy of the schools,” Durant stated. Durant scored “The pessimism of the intelligentia school.” Convention Closes The teachers’ convention closed with a general session this morning in Cadle Tabernacle, at which Dr. Walter Jessup, lowa University president, and Judge Charles W. Hoffman of the juvenile court of Cincinnati spoke. Association officers elected Friday are C. E.

FAMED SON OF OLD WEST DIES Col. Joe Miller, Showman, Overcome by Gas Fumes. Bn United Press PONCA CITY, Okla., Oct. 22. Col. Joe Miller, 58, bom to the saddle of the old West, and who tried to perpetuate it as showman and ranch baron, has passed with his time. Apparently the victim of fumes from his automoobile, t the colonel, eldest of the noted Miller brothers of the 101 Ranch here, was found dead in the ranch garage yesterday. The motor of the car was still running. The colonel’s death robs the only “wild west show” of a familiar figure to thousands of circus audiences. He had returned only recently to the ranch with the circus which bears its name, in which he took an active part. Aside from his circus activities, the colonel was known as the “Luther Burbank” of the ranch, directing the growing of 350 varieties of fruit there. He was born in Kentucky and raised in this section, a cowman who turned showman when the cayuse and corral became an oddity to the world. Besides his widow and one son, the. colonel is survived by two brothers, George and Zach; a sister, Mrs. William England of Ponca City, and two other sons, George W. Miller and Joseph Miller, Jr., and his first wife, Mrs. Alice Miller Hartz, all of Ponca City. JOIE RAY, RUNNER, HELD Former Champion Arrested at Gary on Wife Desertion Charge.

SIOO,OOO SUIT HITS ‘BIG BILL’ IN BOOK WAR ‘British Lion’ Claws Back as Thompson Continues to Twist Tail. HANGMAN TO GET ROLE Library Inspector Will Have Executioner Burn All J. Bull Propaganda. B.u United Press CHICAGO, Oct. 22.—Mayor William Hale Thompson’s efforts to oust the “British Lion” from public schools here and elsewhere today had developed four new angles. John J. Gorman, the mayor’s attorney, leading the fight to oust William McAndrew, on trial for insubordination and sponsoring British propaganda, as superintendent of schools, was faced with a SIOO,OOO damage suit, filed by David Saville Muzzey. It was one of Muzzey’s histories which drew the fire of the mayor. Attorneys for McAndrews attacked Thompson for his endeavors, asserting the mayor is making Chicago “the laughing stock of the world.” U. J. Herrmann, appointed by Thompson to inspect the libraries here for pro-British matter, declared that any histories found containing such tendencies would be burned by the public hangman. , Warning to McAndrew Mayor Thompson warned McAndrew that if he were banned from here, no other city would want him. The praecipe of the suit against Gorman, filed in U. S. District Court, alleges that Gorman has “distorted the text” of the history, and “wilfully misconstrued” certain passages. The anti-American phrases in the book are quotations from George 111, at the time of the Revolutionary War, and do not purport to be Muzzey’s views, the praecipe relates. Another attack ori the Thompson charges was made by Angus Roy Shannon, counsel for Superintendent McAndrew. “The school board’s antics are making Chicago the laughing stock of the world,” Shannon said. “They are making a mockery of the educational system of our city.” Board Solid for Bill Six henchnpen of Thompson, sitting on the school board, vote as a unit, and make it impossible for anything like a just hearing to be given on the charges, he asserted. Meantime, Thompson slapped back at his opponents with further allegations: “McAndrew, with his pro-British ideas, had insulted the fathers and mothers of Chicago. Before he gets through, he will learn that such arrogant insults will not be tolerated.” HONOR SCOUTTEADER Tablet to C. C. Perry Unveiled at Reservation. Memory of C. C.

We aren’t any different than we ever have been, you know,” she confided. Children don’t obey so well nowadays as they did when she was a girl, Gray vouchsafed., “Maybe they do, but I’m sure they get much better training in school now than they did then. And in church, too. TTie churches are keeping up their good influence.”

MRS. GRAYSON AGAIN FAILS IN OCEAN HOP Plane Forced Back to Beach After 17-Minute Trip; Load Too Heavy. PLANS ANOTHER START Effort Will Be Made Later Today to Take Off on Copenhagen Dash. B.u United Press OLD ORCHARD. Me., Oct. 22. The second attempt of the sesquiplane The Dawn to fly across the Atlantic ended abruptly at 6:33 a. m. tocay, when the twin-motored plane—carrying Mrs. Frances Grayson and two companions—landed in the water about 100 yards off the beach at 6:33 a. m. Only a few people were on the beach when the plane started. When The Dawn roared down the beach the first time, wobbled noticeably, and then failed to take the air, there many audible gasps from the spectators. They recalled the attempt earlier in the week, when The Dawn was in the air only a few minutes and then was forced to return. But The Dawn was rolled back into starting position and once again headed down the runway. This time it finally took to the air, although it gained no great height, and then turned east over the sea. , Gone 17 Minutes It was gone about seventeen minutes, when it again appeared, coming towards Old Orchard, and finally settled in the water about 100 yards off the beach. The plane was landed skilfully, skimmed over the water, and then settled easily. At 6:50 a. m. the plane was taxied In from the water and brought onto the beach. The crowd then on the beach, numbering about 200, rushed to the plane and pressed around It. Mrs. Grayson climbed from the cabin. “We got as far as Cape Elizabeth Light,” she said, “but the load was too heavy and the plane was in danger of becoming unmanageable, so we had to turn back. "We had to dump about 200 gallons of gasoline to stay up.” Same Trouble Met Two dump valves on the gas tanks were open when the plane come onto the beach. The trouble was the same as that which caused The Dawn to return to Old Orchard on its previous attempt. Even the second false start failed to discourage Mrs. Grayson. Scarcely had she alighted than she announced a third attempt would be made at about 3 p. m. today. “We will try to reduce the load about 200 pounds,” she said, “and if the weather continues good, should be able to get away this afternoon. “There is no serious trouble with the weight of the plane, and if the lead is cut to that extent, we should be able to fly all right.” Designer Satisfied Igor Sikorsky, designer of The Dawn, was on the beach. He expressed satisfaction with the plane's performance under an over-heavy burden, and said he believed a minor readjustment of the load would put The Dawn in shape for the 3,500-mile flight. Weather conditions this morning were the most favorable since Mrs. Grayson came here, Oct. 10. A southwest wind would have aided the fliers, had they been able to stay aloft.
