WOMAN SLAYS LOVER TO SAVE HUSBAND'S LIFE ‘Hardest Man to Kill I Ever Saw,’ She Says, Shooting and Stabbing Him. By Unitrtl Prrtt MEMPHIS, Tenn., Nov. 30.—Because her alleged lover. Herman McLain, 28, threatened her husband and her child. Mrs. Blanche Hall, 37, shot McLain Friday and when the bullet did not prove fatal, hacked him to death with a knife. Mrs. Hall then tried to commit •uicide, but was rushed to a hospital, where it was said she probably will recover. She told hospital attendants that McLain threatened to kill her, her husband and her con. In a note addressed to McLain's mother, Mrs. Hall said: "I shot him and when he did not die I hacked him to death with a knife.” After killing McLain, the woman sat beside his bed for two hours writing notes. She recounted the crime in detail. “I went to his room and shook him and asked, ‘Are you awake?’ He said, ‘yes.’ Then I shot him, but he wouldn’t die,” she said in notes addressed to her husband and McLain’s mother. “Then I hit him with an ax and still he struggled. Then I cut him with his pocket knife, and he died. I realize I must give my own life for what I've done and I'm going to shoot myself.” To ambulance attendants who took her to a hospital, she said: "He was the hardest man to kill I ever saw.”

In the Cotton Market

ißy Thomson & McKinnon' NEW YORK. Nov. 29.—A technical condition of great strength in cotton contract markets was clearly shown this morning by an advance of fifteen points in the face of news that print cloths have declined sharply during the week. Trading was thin. Trade buying orders were numerous but for small amounts. The selling was by local traders. Not much change Is expected In the final estimate by the government further than a small reduction due to recent bad weather. We feel very sure that no decline in cotton can originate on the exchanges. The contract situation does not warrant it. The situation is the exact reverse of the one which caused severe securities decline. Naturally as spot cotton finds Its way from producer to the mill, the burden of carrying the balance becomes easier That is going on now and we favor buying on all declines.

PLAGIARISM IN ‘JOURNEY’S END' IS SUIT CHARGE Woman Author Asserts Her Plot and Dialog Were Stolen. By United Press NEW YORK. Nov. 30.—A $200,000 plagiarism suit was filed here Friday by Katherine Burke Sherman of 58 West Ninety-first street, against Sir R. E. Sheriff, London playwright; Gilbert Miller, local producer; Morris Brown, agent, and Brentano’s, Inc., over the production and publication of the war drama, “Journey’s End.” The complainant, who described herself as a writer of dramatic composition, short war stories, and novelties for children, said she had no money to hire a lawyer and drafted the complaint herself. The play is showing in New York and Chicago and is the vehicle of several road companies. The papers allege that “Journey's End” is an infringement on a threeact play, “Flags and Flowers.” written by the plaintiff in the spring of 1927 and copyrighted in Ju y, 1927. She said her play had made the rounds o* brokers and had been read closely by a director associated with Miller. The plaintiff charges “Journey’s End’’ employs her plot, theme, and dramatic essentials, and that the dialogue and “all of the plaintive, poignant sentiments were snatched.” She also asks accounting of profits. Sheriff recently was knighted for writing the play.

NO COMPROMISE, IS SHELL STAND Dutch Oil Firm Ready to Match All Prices. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 29.—'The Royal Dutch Shell Oil interests are detemined to press their battle for a share of the American market “and there will be no compromise,” according to Sir Henri Deterding, head of the great European oil combine, which launched an Intensive marketing campaign in the eastern part of the United States last year. “We will continue to sell and meet competition in the United States or wherever it arises,” Sir Henri said on his arrival here from England Thursday. "We never have compromised and we never will. We create no price wars, but we are able to and will meet all price competition.” Sir Henri indicated, however, that he hopes measures to stabilize the oil market will be taken at the meeting of the American Petroleum Institute in Chicago early in December. He will be the principal speaker at the conference.

TEXAN DIES IN ELECTRIC CHAIR FOR ASSAULT First in History of State to Pay With Life for Criminal Attack. By United Press HUNTSVILLE. Tex., Nov. 30. Lee Guy Merriman went down death row to die in the electric chair early Friday, the first man in the history of Texas crime to receive the death penalty for criminal assault. Twice the condemned man was asked if he had anything to say. Both times he shook his head. At 12:18 a. m. he was lashed to the chair, the steel cap was placed over his shaved head and the switch was pulled. In six minutes he was pronounced dead. Merriman was convicted of aiding Bennie Aldridge in an assault on three girls they took from their escorts at pistol points, near Dallas a year ago. Aldridge was brought to the prison here today to await execution, set for Dec. 19. Hope that something would be done to save him remained with Merriman until the last. He ate a big Thanksgiving dinner. Then he took his fate with good grace, displaying no fear. The Thanksgiving dinners failed to lift the gloom from other prisoners as the time for the execution neared, however. Merriman ended an eight-year criminal career in the electric chair. Governor Moody had denied a clemency plea based on asserted insanity on the grounds the trial court had found him sane.

Plane Innovations Shown

Here's the unique plane which J. S. McDonnell Jr. of Milwaukee, inventor, hopes to win first place and' SIOO,OOO in the Guggenheim Foundation's safe aircraft competition at Mitchel Field, N. Y. Largely because of the wing slots (Indicated by the arrows) it climbs sharply into the air after a short run, flies almost as slow as a .blimp and lands almost vertically, stopping within twenty feet.

And now they have airplanes with reversible propellers, enabling the pilot to “apply the brakes” when landing, or even taxi backward on the ground. Here’s a novel design that A. K. McLeod (above) exhibited at the Western aircraft exposition at Los Angeles. The pilot can change the pitch of the propellor blades by the chain drive shown in the picture, to accelerate or decrease speed and also to aid in many stunt flying maneuvers.

CHICAGO STEEL AT 75 PER CENT CHICAGO, Nov. 29.—Christines buying and the demand for winter merchandise inspired by the zerc wave brought a rush of business to retail stores in Chicago district during the past week. The response to President Hoover's conferences appeared to aid in restoring confidence in practically all trades and industries, the automotive being about the only exception. • Automobile dealers were reported offering exceptional bargains in their efforts to clear floors before the usual winter slump period. Office building construction operations were on a larger scale than the same week a year ago, and it was thought the cheaper money market will improve residential building after the first of the year. A few radio companies were said to be suffering from heavy stocks, but generally the demand showed improvement.
