é THE OSHAWA DAiL: 14veS, MONDAY, MAY 13, 1929 COMMITS SUICIDE ON MOVING TRAIN (Y Young Man Slashes Throat Before Passengers ------ be 14 London, May 13. << Within the view but beyond the reach of a dozen horrified fellow-passengers. a young man. 30 years of age, flashed a razor from his pocket and slashed his throat from ear to ear on a C.N.R. passenger train approaching Glencoe at noon Sat- urday. He died almost instantly in. the arms of ; Father Frank Brennan, of St. feter's seminary, Ldndon. : He rode on a ticket from Win- nipeg to Windsor, and, according to other passengers who had come down from Winnipeg with him he had not done or said anything un- usual to attract attention wei2re he ended his life. The coach was so blood- splashed that Conductor John Wil- son of, London, ordered it set off at Glencoe, where an investigation was launched by Coroner L. W, Freele and High Constable H. J, Wharton. Papers in the man's pocket included a passvort, indi- cating that he was Franciske Og- rodnick, who came from Polana on the S.S. Regina, and arrived at Quebec in May, 1928. He carried C.N.R. travellers cheques for $480, payable in Poland, but these were so bloodstained that the point of issue could not be read. As the man appeared to be a Catholic, ar- rangements for his funeral were taken over by Rt. Rev, P, J. Mc- Keon of London, who had Polish letters in his pockets. translated, They contained nothing helpful except addresses in Poland. A par- ish priest there is to be asked to investigate and send instructions to Mgr. McKeon.

SEASON OF RUSSIAN DRAMA NOW CLOSED Total Performances Greater Than Ever Staged in One Season New York, N.¥., May 13, -- "With Miss Le Gallienne's Civic Repertory Theatre Company on tour, what might be termed New York's season of Russian drama has been brought to a close", says the New York Times, "Ibsen and Barrie have been presented; and also plays from the Dutch and the Spanish theatre. But, with the.aid of Alla Nazimova, Miss Le Gallienne put on sixty-three per- formances of Tchekhov's "The Cherry Orchard." "On the High Road," by] the same author, and Andreyev's "Katerina," were given less often. Al- though her repertoire has not been so large as that of the Moscow Thea- tre, Miss Le Gallienne's total of per- formances from the Russian is great- er than the visiting' company staged in any single season here. Inciden- tally, it may be noted that "The Cherry Orchard" was also played this year at the Yiddish Art Theatre in this city, and that Tchekhov's "The Sea Guil" is now running in a Broad- way playhouse. . "What is the lure for American audiences that Russian. drama pos- sesses? To be sure, the dramatists are men of superlative genius, and in their dramatic methods there is no little novelty, This would account somewhat for the rapt attention of audiences. The high excellence of the acting would also be a contribut- ing cause. Yet analysis may not stop here. The reason must lie in the reading of life, in the philosophy of the dramas themselves; and as this philosophy, on the surface at least, scems peculiarly un-American, we seem to have a paradox. "To Russian dramatists life seems something . predominatingly futile. And the attitude one must assume toward it is, consequently, that of ac- quiescence, Whether the abandon- ment of the Russian mind to this moad of admission is due to innate mental quality or to a long history of repression under the Czars, the doctrine is Oriental rather than Oc- cidental. When the Western thinker starts the phrase 'Whatever is, he feels compelled to add an ethical pre- dicate, as Pope, with his insistence that whatever is, is right. The Rus- sian will go only so far as to state that whatever is; is. Thus, in 'The Cherry Orchard when the mother admits that the lover she has left behind in Paris is 'a millstone' about her neck, her plaint is, nevertheless, 'And I love him. Western litera- ture has toyed with the idea of fate, but has never embraced it whole- heartedly. Hardy's characters are fast in the grip of destiny; but they yield ungraciously and unwillingly. Compared with the personages of Tchekhov and Andreyev, his people scem to be making a frightful bother about it. The Saar Territory of France produced more than 2,000,000 tons of pig iron last year.

Ser- geant Horton and Plainclothesman Barber forced the front door. De- tecting the odor of escaping gas, the police attempted to turn on the lights. These would not work, due, the officers learned in further in- vestigation to the fuses having been taken out. Using their flashlights, the officers managed to get down to theb asement, where they turn- ed off the gas. Windows were open- ed and they then made their way through the poisonous fumes to the room in 'which Woodley's body was located. y The door had been made secure from the inside by the driving of three large spikes into the sash. When this door was broken down the police found the man dead. Chief Coroner Dr. M, M. Crawford ordered the remains taken to the morgue, CANADIAN GOODS SOUGHT BY BRITISH That British businessmen may be more familiar with Canadian natural resources and manufactured products, Charles M. Luke, of the trade and en- gineering supplement of the London Times, has come to Canada to study carefully the power, mining, commer- cial and industrial conditions, previous to the preparation and publication of a special issue of his paper, to be de- voted entirely to Canada. "You can never imagine the interest which British industrialists and tradesmen take in Canada and its natural resources," said Mr, Luke, when seen at the Windsor Hotel the other day, "and what is more, they realize that they ought to know bet- ter about the advantages and means of developing trade relations between England and this Dominion. A few months ago I was approached by the chairman of the British Chamber of Commerce, who complained that the newspapers of England did not do their share to enlighten the British public on Canadian conditions and op- portunities Though we are publish- ing a great deal on Canada every week, the questiqn was taken up with my directors and it was decided to prepare a special issue devoted en- tirely to Canada, which will 'be pub- lished in the. fall. "I hope that by publishing that special number on Canada, we will contribute in a substantial measure to the expansion of the trade rela- tions between Canada and Great Bri- tain." Mr. Luke will visit the various de- partments of the federal and provin- cial governments from coast to coast, as well as all the principal business- men and industries.

T. Shields of Toronto, chairman of the hoard, and Edith M. Rebman of Des Moines, secretary, on Saturday be- came the objects of a students' riot launched with the objective, stud- ents said, of "wringing ther necks." Saturday night Dr. Shields left the university for the railway sta- tion en route to Toronto under po- lice protection after 150 students, armed with eggs of dubious vintage, had staged a riot and wrecked the administration building. While the students tore through the board room and the administra- tion building, Dr. Shields and Miss Rebman with four other members of the board, crouched in a small closet for 40 minutes awaiting the arrival of police. Students tore furniture to pieces, and smashed windows, punctuating their efforts with egg bombing. Miss Rebman tonight vigorously denied any immoral liaison. She pointed to the resolution adopted by the trustees, "repudiating with indignation' charges that the two were guilty of conduct "incompat- ible with the highest standards of Christian integrity." Whole Faculty Dismissed When the Toronto pastor and the former Toronto woman were com- pletely acquitted, the board in turn requested the resignations of the president and the whole faculty of the university. This is tantamount to dismissal of all employes of the university as of June 1. E. A. Brownlee, of Toronto, an- other trustee, was found by the rioterg near the door of the closet hiding place off the board room. He was dragged forth by the stud- ents but was released when it was discovered that he was not the man sought. President Harry C. Way- man and other members of the dis- missed faculty, today were contem- nlating rescinding the order of Dr. Shields closing the school. Apparently reversing hig rebelli- ous stand of yesterday, Dr. H. C. Wayman, deposed president of the Des Moines university, tonight an- nounced that he would ebide by the ruling closing the school. Although Dr. Wayman would not commit himself, it was understood here this evening that he has agreed to play a part in a rather elaborate strategy by which Dr. Shields' vur- der will be obeyed and classrooms still kept open. The students plan to seek a court order enjoining Dr. Wayman from ay + REFINEMENT + $1.50 - gresilk Torn TERLY $1.95 keeping the school closed. The students will ask the injunction to protect their investments in tuition. The board of trustees of Dus Moines university after probing charges against Dr. T. T. Shields and. Miss Edith M. Rebman, passed the following resolution: '""The board of trustees of Des Moines university, in a special meeting convened to consider cer- tain complaints and rumors touch- ing the personal integrity of the president of the board and of the e-retary treasurer, after an ex- haustive inquiry of many hours in which documents, the deans and certain students were examined, hereby repudiate with the profound- est indignation the very suggestion that either of the said officers' of the board would, in either words 01 deeds, condescend to any course in. compatible with the highest stand: ards of Christian integrity and honor. "The examination disclosed thal on the part of some who were nol members of the faculty there ex isted a bitter personal antagonisn towards the officers of the board referred to, which antagonism the beard believed is chiefly due to the fact that the said officers had, of necessity, so largely represented the board and the will of the board in giving effect to various reforms in carrying out the present hoard's policy in the conduct of the univers sity. without omitting low price.
