Christian missionaries and their work
as they began the establishment of
stations in this foreign field. Mrs.
L. Williams had a paper entitled “The
Mantle of Elijah.” This story delt
with educating the Chinese, so that
they might be able to carry on the
work of christianizing their own land.
i This time has not come yet, but we
are working with that thought in
mind.

CHICAGO, May 9.—An experiment
of two married couples in a modernis-
tic code of love was blamed by au-
thorities today for the suicide of Mrs.
Etna Hamm, 25 years old.
One of the four persons involved,
Mrs. Hamm shot herself to death in
her apartment after she returned
home and found her husband with
the other woman, Mrs. Allie Nelson,
25 years old, police were told.
Questioned by police, Hamm and
Mrs. Nelson said they had been in
love for more than a year and had
been associating with each other dur-
ing that time, with a full knowledge
of Mrs. Hamm and Mrs. Nelson’s
husband, Julius.
Their association had been entirely
platonic, they said.
Nelson corroborated the story and
said he had discussed it with Hamm
but had made no attempt to termin-
ate the affair. He had “hoped it
would blow over,” he said.
The two ocuples had been close
friends for several years, Hamm, told
police:
“I have acquired the philosophy
that there should be no chains on
love—not even marriage chains. Mrs.
Nelson felt the same way.
“I discussed the matter with my
wife several times. She felt badly
about the affair, but she was calm
about it. She asked me if I wanted
a divorce, but I said not yet because
my affair wi^h Mrs. Nelson might
blow over, and I didn’t want to lose
my wife until I was sure I loved Mrs.
Nelson.”
Hamm appeared mystified by his
wife’s suicide. She had not seemed
disturbed, he said, when she found
him and Mrs. Nelson in their apart-
ment. He declared:
“She asked if she should get out,
and I replied no, that Allie was go-
ing home soon. We left the apart-
ment.”
Upon returning alone later, Hamm
found his wife lying on the floor of
the dinette fatally wounded.

CHECK FOR MILLION
WASHINGTON, May 9.—A mil-
lion-dollar check was received by
President Roosevelt tonight and turn-
ed over to the Georgia Warm Springs
foundation for the relief of infantile
paralysis victims.
The check—totalling $1,003,030.98

try last January.

sors of the parties in the east room
of the White House, Mr. Roosevelt

aside $100,000 for a nation-wide study
of infantile paralysis.
The major portion of the fund—
$650,000—will be labedel for research
work and study at Warm Springs,
Georgia, institution which the presi-
dent helped to found.
The remaining $253,030.08 will go
for building and maintenance at the
Georgia institution.
The check was presented to Mr.
Roosevelt by Rear Admiral Cary T.
Grayson, retired, in the absence of
Henry L. Doherty, of New York, the
chairman of the National Presiden-
tial birthday party committee.

FORT WORTH, Texas, May 9.—
Returning to his home from a con-
vention of Sheriffs and police chiefs
in Dallas, Police Chief G. F. Flour-
noy of Stamford shot and captured a
young hitch-hiker in a robbdry at- ■
tempt two miles east of Handley late I
Wednesday.
The suspect, 23, of Dallas, was
slightly wounded in his right arm
after he struck Chief Flournoy in the
stomach and fled across a field. He
was held by police Wednesday night
in connection with an attack and
robbery attempt on W. M. Shutley,
Fort Worth, salesman, who had be-
friended his assailant by giving him
a ride.
Shutley was driving toward Dallas
when he picked up the hitch-hiker on
the road. Two miles east of Handley
Shutley had a flat tire. While chang-
ing tires, Shutley reported, the hitch-
hiker seized a ginger ale bottle from
the car and tried to hit him over the
head. The intended victim dodged the
blow and the suspect fled across a
field. Chief Flournoy, who halted
to render aid, joined Shutley and" a
negro passerby in the chase, firing
several shots into the air.
The fleeing man halted and sur-
rendered and while Chief Flournoy
was guarding him and waiting for
Shutley to go after his car the pris-
oner suddenly struck the chief in the
abdomen and fled again. A bullet
from the officer’s pistol struck the
man in his arm, and grazed his chest.
The man surrendered again.
