BILLY SUNDAY IS DEAD AT 72 Wife at Bedside as Heart Attack Kills Famous Evangelist. By United Prats CHICAGO. Nov. 7.—The Rev. William A. < Billyj Sunday, world famous evangelist, died peacefully last night. He would have been 73 Nov. 19. The picturesque preacher who brought thousands down '‘The Sawdust Trail to Salvation” succumbed to an attack of angina pectoris at the home of his brother-in-law, William J. Thompson, a Chicago florist. Beside him was his wife, Mrs. Helen (“Ma”) Sunday, who married him when he was a professional baseball star nearly 50 years ago. Around him were the loose-leaf notebooks which contained sermons he had been studying in the expectation of continuing his revival meetings this winter. Sensible About Death ‘He was sensible about death.” Mrs. Sunday said. “He told me only yesterday, If I go I know you’ll be all right.* He often talked about dying when he was ill, but yesterday he seemed more sure of it after he had an attack early in the morning. "About 8 o’clock last night he had a sharp pain and said. ‘l’m getting so dizzy, Ma.’ Then he died.” Mrs. Sunday saw in her husband's quick death an example of the efficacy of prayer. "Billy,” she said, "always used to pray, 'Oh, Lord, when I have to go, please make it quick.’ ” Sons Flying East The evangelist’s two sous, William A. Jr. and Paul T. Sunuay, were to arrive by plane today from Los Angeles. Funeral services probably will be in Chicago. Born in Ames, la., "Billy” never saw his father, who died in service with the Union army. After graduation from Nevada (la.) high school, he studied at Northwestern University but left college when Adrian (Cap.) Anson signed him as an outfielder for the old Chicago White Stockings of the National League. He played with Pittsburgh and Philadelpnia National League clubs, before his conversion at the Chicago Pacific Garden Mission in 1886. Preached Here Often William A (Billy) Sunday, evangelist, who died in Chicago, held several revivals here and maintained a summer home at Winona Lake, Ind.

18 RED CROSS UNITS PLANNED ON HIGHWAYS First Aid Stations Will Be Established Near Dangerous Spots. SCAN MISHAP DATA Officials Point to Accidents as Strategic Locations Are Selected. The Indianapolis Red Cross SafeIty Committee today announced plans for establishing 18 first aid ! stations near dangerous points on Marion County highways. The locations were selected after a survey of accident records in the office of Sheriff Ray. The State Highway Commission, Chief Morrissey, the Indiana State Police Department and Sheriff Ray have approved the plans and congratulated the committee. Reginald H. Sullivan, chairman of the committee, said it is the plan to establish a minimum of 15,000 such stations on the highways of the nation within the next year. The eventual total is expected to reach 30,000. Volunteers to Act The county stations are to be manned by volunteer men and women who have been grounded in Red Cross training. Mr. Sullivan said it is the belief of the national committee that they are near a hazard that has been deadly in the past and will serve to make them proceed cautiously. The volunteer workers will be taught what to do for victims until medical aid arrives. The plan has been lauded as a constructive step to reduce the death toll of highway accidents. Marion County’s stations will be located, it is proposed at: W. Washington and Morris-sts at the blinker light at the intersection; junction of U. S. Roads 36 and 40; W. Washington-st and Rockville-rd; west of U. S. Road 40 on U. S. Road 36; west of Cumberland on U. S. Road 40; Road 31 at Madison and Troy-avs; U. S. Road 31, north of Southport; Brill-rd and Troy-av; Road 67, near Lawrence and Ft.

Families operating stores, filling stations and other business places near the points are to be selected for first aid training. Each station is to be equipped with first-aid supplies, and the Red Cross highway first aid volunteers are to make monthly reports of activities.

Germany Joins Embargo By United Press BERLIN, Nov. 7.—A government communique disclosed today that Germany has declared an absolute embargo on arms and war materials for Italy and Ethiopia and has made preparations to embargo raw materials and foodstuffs if it sees fit. The embargo was imposed immediately upon the outbreak of war and long before the League of Nations voted its penalties against Italy. It puts Germany in a position where ito policy in the next few weeks may strengthen beyond hope of European statesmen the League of Nations’ effort to penalize Italy for warring on Ethiopia, and may lead to negotiations which would mean anew diplomatic lineup in Europe. U. S. Not to Budge By United Pres* WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.—League of Nations’ hopes that the United States will join immediately in an embargo on shipments of iron, steel, oil and coal to Italy appeared crushed today. Indications were that the Roosevelt Administration plans to coast along with its present embargo on export cf “arms, ammunition and implements of war." to both Italy and Ethiopia, and to use only moral force to discourage trade in all other commodities and articles with the belligerents.

WHO WON THE WAR?

Death Talks By United Press LONDON, Nov. 7. —The Daily Mail today published an interview with an anonymous doctor who admitted he had taken five lives for humane reasons. “Five times I have taken a life,” he said. "I have broken the law, and under similar circumstances I -would do so again. "If need be, I am prepared to face any tribunal in the land. My justification—not my excuse—for what I have done is that humanity knows no law. "I still carry with me the memory of the cases to which I refer and of happy faces before they died. The first was the case of a newborn child, clearly domed to imbecility. With the squeeze of a finger and thumb I had taken a life. "The second was the case of a child born without a scull cap. "The other three were men suffering from an incurable, agonizing disease. Each died clasping my hand and murmuring, ‘God bless you, doctor’.”

RAIN TO ACCOMPANY NORMAL WEHTHEB Rising Temperature Expected for Next Two Days. The weather is to proceed along more normal lines for the next two days, the weather bureau predicted today. A light rain is expected tonight with slightly rising temperature, and partly cloudy weather is expected tomorrow with temperatures dropping. For this time of the year the temperatures are about normal, and the rain, augmenting the heavier fall of early this week, will do no damage. Pastures and winter wheat are the only possible agricultural beneficiaries of the rain, but the weather bureau says the earlier fall was adequate and this will have no special effect.

CHANDLER LEADS KENTUCKY RACE; STATE DRYS GAIN Laffoon’s Forces Apparently Crushed in Blue Grass Balloting; Majority May Reach 100,000, Observers Say. ELATED DEMOCRATS TALLY VOTES Republicans Lose by Largest Popular Vote ii> New York’s History, But Distortion of Districts Changes Assembly. BY THOMAS L. STOKES Time* Special Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. Those Tuesday election returns, which sent Republicans into such shivers of exultation, began to look much brighter to Democrats today as they pieced together the complete story. Kentucky, always a doubtful state since its allegiance was divided between North and South during the Civil War, remains in the Democratic column despite the party’s internal

DRYS INSPIRED BY ELECTIONS See Boost for Legislative Drive in Town Vote; Politicians Calm. The Indiana Anti-Saloon League and other dry organizations today, scanning results of Tuesday’s town elections, saw encouragement for their legislative drive to obtain a county Or township liquor option system in Indiana. L.. E. York, league superintendent, claiming dry gains, termed the elections “the beginning of a general attack on the liquor traffic throughout the state.” His organization, he said, had urged dry organizations in every community to make an effort to elect town trustees opposed to legalization of hard drink by ordinance, which is provided in the liquor control law for towns and cities under 5000 population. Hail Hope Victory One of the town elections interpreted as an outstanding dry victory was at Hope in Bartholomew County. There Republicans gained a clean sweep of all offices. The incumbent Democratic trustees had approved by-the-drink liquor. Mr. York declared schools, churches and residential areas ‘ have to fight to keep liquor from their (Turn to Page Three) GOLFERS REASSURED ON BOULEVARD PLAN Park Board Says Work Won’t Affect Course. The Park Board today told a group of Pleasant Run golfers that new plans for the extension of Pleasant Run-blvd are being drawn which will not interfere seriously with the course. Golfers told the board that published plans would damage holes 8, 9. 10, 12 and 13. The board also announced it has made a land deal with the Holy Cross Cemetery to facilitate the extension of the boulevard 'rom S Meridian-st to Bluff-rd. The board refused to run the South Grove golf clubhouse as a community house this year, saying it would cost too much, and it set aside SIOOO for materials for Works Progress Administration workers to build the Riverside Park shelterhouse into a clubhouse.

feud, while the final count on the New York; Assembly election, which restored Republicans to control, revealed that Democrats led by around 600.000 in j the popular vote. Chairman Farley chortled a bit I about the popular vote, and from j this point of view was ready to agree with Republicans that the election was a New Deal test. For while they paid off in Assembly seats Tuesday, they will pay off on the popular vote in next November's presidential test. Many citizens elsewhere perhaps are puzzled at this paradox, with one party winning the issue though | the other got the most votes. The situation arises from the geographical distortion of Assembly districts—“gerrymandering"—to favor Republicans. % Margin Largest of All Democrats in recent years have led in the popular vote while Republicans captured the Assembly, the Democratic plurality running from 50,000 in 1928 to nearly half a million since, but Tuesday's 600,000 margin was the largest of all. Another comparison shows that while Mr. Roosevelt won 56 per cent of the state’s popular vote in 1932. Democrats polled 59 cent of it Tuesday. Democratic elation over the Kentucky result rivaled the Republican crowing over New York. It had been feared that if the party’s feud defeated “Happy” Chandler it would carry on and endanger Democratic hopes in Kentucky next year, though Gov. Ruby Laffoon, ! while bolting Chandler, had j pledged allegiance to the President. Cheored in New Jersey Democrats elicited comfort also from New Jersey. There, despite i retention of the Legislature by Re--1 publicans. Boss Frank Hague of northern New Jersey rolled up 137.000 votes for his Democratic As- | sembly candidates. In 1932, with a I vote of 117.000 from his Hudson County bailiwick, Mr. Hague over- ! came Republican strength elseI where and gave Mr. Roosevelt a 30,000 majority in the state. Chairman Farley and PennsylI vania’s Democratic duo, Senator Guffey and A Gov. Earle, made en unsuccessfuluoid for the mayoralty of Philadelphia in their drive to | swing Pennsylvania behind the Roosevelt banner in 1936. But the Democratic candidate polled the biggest vote since Democrats actually elected a mayor 52 years ago. They captured 46 per cent of the Philadelphia vote; in ’32 Mr. Roosevelt polled 42 per cent. Fair Badly In Midwest Democrats fared badly in several Midwestern mayoralty elections, where local and national issues were intermixed. Asa whole the elections were spotty and difficult to interpret in terms of 1936 with any hope of precision. An ancient political organization which has been a factor in national politics showed signs of new life. This was Tammany Hall, which regained ground lost to the Fusionista in the revolt that made Fiorello La Guardia mayor. Tammany Democrats won all but three of the 16 seats in the Board of Aldermen. This Tammany revival may become important. Chandler Out in Front By Lnitrtt Prrtt LOUISVILLE. Ky.. Nov. 7—Lieut. Gov. A.
