DEATH CLAIMS ELLEN SCRIPPS IN CALIFORNIA Half-Sister of Founder of Newspaper League 111 for Week. (Cnntinurd from Page One) mark their intimate business and personal association for nearly seventy years. James Mogg Scripps, an expert bookbinder, died in 1873, leaving little to his family but the farm on which it had lived. In later years the farm was given to the town of Rushville as a memorial park, and only a few years ago Ellen Scripps built on the site of the old farmhouse a beautiful community house in honor of her sister Virginia. In 1858 Miss Scripps had graduated at the age of 22 from Knox college—an institution to which she has since made many bequests—and fifteen years later, in the year of her father's death, she left Rushville to join her brother James, soon to found the Detroit New’s. Lent Financial Support She lent him financial support and became a proofreader for the paper, the second penny paper in the country. It was five years later, in 1878, that she went to Cleveland to assist E. W. Scripps in his founding of the Penny Press, the forerunner of the Scripps-Howard newspapers of today. At night, during these early days of her newspaper work, she prepared a “miscellany” that was to be expanded later into the NEA Service, which now supplies more than 700 newspapers with a daily feature and picture service. The first items of the “miscellany” came to R. F. Paine, then editor of the Press, on note paper, written in a fine Spencerian hand of the old school of writing. The little contributions puzzled the editor at first. He saw that they were not items of news. But they did have “somethmg.” Founded Feature Service They contained odd and interesting sidelights on big people and big happenings in the news. They were word pictures by someone who knew and loved people. Her brother caught the gleam of the big meaning in Sister Ellen's “miscellany.” He ordered his editors to develop this sidelight idea to the limit. He ordered them to take no less than $1,200 from the editorial budget each month to develop features, now so much a part of the up-to-date newspaper. Miss Scripps was not a stock owner in the Penny Press in its first days, but later acquired a part in the enterprise. The original partners, in addition to E. W. Scripps, were his brothers, James E. and George H., and John Scripps Sw'eeney. a cousin. Active Interest in Charity Three years after the Penny Press was founded Miss Scripps took her first vacation, and returned to her old home in London. She had, with her brother, begun to prosper, and henceforth was to have considerable means always at her disposal. In 1900 another brother, George H. Scripps. died and left a considerable share of his fortune to her. He had been the financial expert of the Scripps papers, and had accumulated a large estate. Even before her fortune had been thus enlarged, Miss Scripps had retired from active work in the newspapers and had moved to La Jolla. Cal., near San Diego, where she built a beautiful villa overlooking twenty miles of southern California coast. As soon as her means had grown to more than she needed for her own modest requirements, Miss Scripps had taken an active interest in charitable work and in the assisting of educational enterprises. Gave Half Million to College Her estate increased rapidly and she recognized that she was to be a really rich woman. She formulated a definite program for the distribution of much of her money while she was still alive, and for many years her gifts have been exceed gly large. The small investment she made in the Detroit News grew to more than half a million dollars, and she gave it all to Claremont college, California, as the foundation for Scripps College for Women, the first institution of its kind in the west. This was but one of many similar gifts. One of her first large donations was made in founding the Scripps Biological Institute at La Jolla, which was subsequently given to the University of California. Fought for Free Speech Other institutions to share in her generosity included Pomona college, Bishop's Episcopal School for Girls, the Scripps Memorial hospital, the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. of San Diego, various charitable organizations. churches and historical bodies. Devoted to the cause of free speech, she was yet tolerant of the reactionaries who advocated a policy of repression, and sought to learn to understand their point of view. The love of her fellow townsmen was expressed in the summer of 1926 by the erection of a granite and bronze memorial dedicated to her in a little open space in the main highway through La Jolla. Gifts for the purpose were received in sums as small as twentyfive cents, and no gifts of more than SSO were permitted.

FEDERALS DROP PROBE OF ‘RAID’ Alleged Fake Attack Not to Be Given Jury, Federal grand jury investigation of an alleged fake "federal raid" on a roadhouse July 10, in which an Indianapolis police sergeant is accused of participating, is not contemplated at this time, it was learned today. • The federal grand jury will convene Aug. 15, but unless new evidence in the case is uncovered, it will not be submitted to the grand jurors, according to District Attorney George R. Jeffrey. The alleged raid charge was made by John McGrady, 36 West Thirteenth street, who was a waiter in the Tasty Toasty sandwich shop, U. S. highway 31 and Seventy-fifth street, which since has been closed by the owner, Herman Rudy. McGrady alleged the police sergeant, Patsy McMahon; three other men and a woman entered the shop the night of July 10, one of the men asking for liquor, and that \khen he said he had no liquor the three companions of the sergeant “flashed badges and said they were ‘feds’ and were going to raid the place.” McMahon and his three companions, in statements to Chief Mike Morrissey, denied pretending to be federal agents or that they raided the place. They admitted that one of them asked for iquor and jokingly asked the waiter how he knew they were not federal dry agents. The only trouble that ensued, they asserted, resulted when they claimed McGrady charged he once had “paid McMahon S6OO to let him off after catching him with a load of liquor.” Jeffrey said the grand jury session will be taken up principally with ordinary liquor cases.

OUST HORNSBY AS LEADER .OF CHICAGO CUBS Out of Organized Ball After 18 Years in National League. (Continued from Page One) the Cubs' outfield' as lamentably weak. Veeck is said to have censured Hornsby for this story, with Hornsby taking the attitude that he was at liberty to pass his own opinions as he saw fit. Friction also developed between Veeck and Hornsby over the latter's attempt to play regularly. Hornsby attempted to play the outfield and later tried third base when Bill Jurges was shot in a quarrel with his sweetheart. Veeck is understood to have ordered Hornsby to bench himself. Hornsby played in eight games and batted .228, the only season but one in which he ever batted under .300. Hornsby plans to remain out of baseball the remainder of {.he season, inasmuch as he’ll draw two months salary, approximately $16,000, for remaining idle. “I don’t expect to look for another job this year,” he said, “but if I should receive a very good offer I might be tempted.” Hornsby was named manager of the Cubs Sept. 23, 1930, after Joe McCarthy, now manager of the New York Yankees was let out by the late William Wrigley. Grimm Is New’ Manager Last season, Hornsby piloted the Cubs to third place, and this season had them in first place several times and in the thick of the pennant fight until recently when they began to lose crucial games and allow Pittsburgh to build up a commanding lead. Grimm, the Cubs’ new leader, is 33, and has been with the team since 1925, when they obtained him from Pittsburgh along with Maranville and Cooper in exchange for Aldridge, Grantham and Ncihaus. In fifteen years in the majors, Grimm has a batting average of .292. He told the United Press he did not expect to inaugurate any new policies, but that he might make some shifts if the team's hitting didn’t improve. “We’ve got to on more hitting.” said Grimm. "Stephenson and Cuyler have been" doing all right lately, but myself and some of the other boys have been in a slump. We’ve got fine pitching, and should be able to make.a fight for the pennant if we get the hitting.” Wrigley Admired Hnrnsbv The late William Wrigley was a great admirer of Hornsby, and sanctioned the exchange of five players and $200,000 in cash to the Boston Braves in May, 1928, to get him. In his first year with the Cubs, Hornsby batted .380 and played a major role in their successful pennant battle. It was Wrigley who personally selected Hornsby as the man to give him a world championship team when McCarthy was given his release late in 1930. Until his death this spring, Wrigley was confident that Hornsby would bring him the world championship he so keenly coveted. P. K. Wrigley, new owner of the Cubs, hasn’t shown the interest his father did in baseball, and has allowed Veeck complete authority in running the team.

HITLER PARTY BEGINS DRIVE TO USEPOWER Brown Shirts and Powerful General Schleicher May Rule Germany. BY FREDERICK Kl'H United Pres* Staff Correspondent BERLIN, Aug. 3.—Adolph Hitler's Fascist party has begun its drive for power in the reich's government—a drive which may lead Hitlerites to collaborate with the powerful defense minister, General Kurt Schleicher, in ruling Germany. The Fascists first move was through peaceful negotiations, but there was the constant threat of an ultimatum or harsher methods. Ai a “war council” of Fascist leaders at Munich, Hitler designated his chief-of-staff, Captain Ernst Roehm, head the brown shirt army of 400,000, to proceed to Berlin and confer w r lth General Schlei-
cher, who generally is considered the strongest figure in Chancellor Franz Von Papen's cabinet. Less powerful Fascist leaders urged Hitler to send an utimatum jto Colonel Von Papen demanding | surrender of virtually all authority I in the reich, but Hitler was inclined first to tread the path of negotiation. Captain Roehm will demand: 1. Remodelling of the reich's cabinet to include several Fascists in important O overnmental posts. 2. Replacement of the present dictatorship in Prussia by a regular cabinet under Fascist domination. The plan would be contingent on an agreement by Dr. Heinrich Bruening's Catholic center party to “tolerate” a Fascist-Schleicher" regime, providing the government continues to act with parliamentary authority. The attitude of the Catholic party is problematical, and it is quite possible more drastic action will be necessary to solve the present parliamentary crisis. Obviously General Von Schleicher hopes to retain his key position, and possibly he can maintain control of the chancellorship, defense and foreign ministries by satisfying ■the Fascist bid for power in Prussia. He also intends to keep control of the Prussian ministry of interior, w’hich has command of 90,000 Prussian police.
