New York, April 20.--Firing a revolver toward the altar as lie stood amid the congregation of St George's church Just after the collection had been taken, Thomas W. Shelley, maniac and self-confessed bolshevlst, sent a ballet crashing through the brain of Dr. James YV. Markoe, per aoaal physician of J. P. Morgan and • vestryman of the church. Doctor Markoe fell dead in the aisle. Panic ensued immediately, and there was a wild stampede toward the floors. Brandishing the pistol, Shelley ran to the nearest door and, waving his weapon at the people, warned them to keep away. Dr. George F. Brewer, noted surgeon* who had been passing the collection boxes with his fellow vestrymen, disregarded the warning. He advanced upon the maniac and was shot In the leg. He, too, fell In the aisle, bat almost immediately recovered his feet and, notwithstanding his wound, tarried toward Shelley. Doctor Brewer was Joined by William Fellowes Morgan, president of the Merchants' association, and together they seized the assassin, delivering him to detectives who had been attracted by the gunfire and screams of hysterical women worshipers. , Rev. Dr. Karl Reiland had Just Jin- •' JW*er his sermon in fashionable St. <£eorge's church when the assassin •Who had been sitting quietly, a atranger among the large congregation, showed signs of excitement. The clergyman's closing words in his appeal for help to the needy and a spiritual awakening appeared to unleash Shelley's maniacal instinct. He grew more and more restless during the taking of the collection, then leaped to his feet. Jerked a gun from be- JMsath his left arm pit, aod shouted: *t>own with the church! Down with health! Down with America!" Later the assassin said to Doctor Brewer and Mr. Morgan as they seized Kim: "I had to do it. I listened to Doctor Reiland urging us to raise money. I never had any money and I thought I would wake the people up. ,, f don't know why I shot." ^if?To others he said: v «i flred the shots. I am a boWhe- *tot. I knew that this world was no place for a man without money. I irent to the church, and the first thing* I heard was a demand for money. Then I started shooting. I didn't know Doctor Markoe. As soon as I had killed him I wished I had fired the •hot into my own head." - J Shelley told the police he had escaped from the Fergus Falls (Minn.) ||Msane asylum and had been working m a printer. A letter In the prisoner's possession Iras signed "Your Own Little Girl," •lid had as Its salutation: "My Own Dear Daddy." The writer's address as shown on the letter was 5118 Peabody street.

Gained Control of $80,000,000 of Im perlal Russian Money In This Country and Has 35,000 Speaker* and Organize fa, Chicago, ApMl 17.--The first move of the government In an open fight against revolutionary groups whose avowed purpose is the overthrow of the constituted government of the United States, substituting therefor a "rule of the proletariat" patterned afte^the Russian soviets, Is seen In the arrest here of 30 "outlaw" railroad onion officials for violation of the Lever act. It is known--has besn known for some time in official circles, due to the vigilance of certain volunteer espionage organizations centered In Chicago --that an attempt at revolution was to be made in the United States May 1, 1920. The date was originally November 15, to follow the unauthorized steel strike. It was postponed a month to follow the tleup of the coal mines; then it was set for May 1, to follow a general tieup of the country's industry through a nation-wide railroad strike--all unauthorized by the international labor unions. The organization is powerful, according to William R. Moss, chairman of the committee on Americanization of the Chicago Association of Commerce, who has been touring the country speaking before business men, manufacturers, bankers and employees' associations, trying to warn the country of the proposed attempt at revolution. "Ambassador David R. Francis, upon his return from Russia," said Mr. Moss, "showed that the soviet organizations In America had gained control of $50,000,000 of Imperial Russian money in this country. The revolutionary groups are not poor. They have 35,000 speakers and organizers scattered throughout the country. The country should be aroused to this attempt by the minority to rule the majority. It Is not a time to get excited ; the thing Is going to happen. This Is the time for every man who is an American and who has thq nerve to say so, to stand upon his own feet to talk sanely, to act sanely, for the situation Is one that calls for the sanest, coolest, clearest thinking heads In America. "The situation Is grave and cannot be overestimated. The revolt movement can be defeated If the American people--by that I mean the people who believe In this country--can be brought to realize the peril. Radicalism as well as bourbonism, the two extremes that are causing the trouble, must be corrected. I can only refer for corroboration to the book on syndicalism by Earl C. Ford and William Z. Foster, who engineered the steel strike, published In 1912." The situation Is known to business men, contractors, bankers, etc. It Is next to impossible to get a contractor to make bids upon work now that cannot be completed before May 1. 'This Idea of revolution Is not a scarehead one," said a man, who cannot be quoted for the reason that he is one of those who have been looking into the unmasked red of the volcano and reporting its seething. "It began in Seattle more than eighteen months ago." Washington, April 17.--The "outlaw" railroad strike Is practically at an end. Reports reaching the department of Justice from cities in which the strike was beginning to assume alarming> proportions Indicate a general tendency on the. part of the njen to return to work. The rapid assembling of the railroad labor board as a result of telegraphic appeals to Its members from President Wilson was considered a large factor In the determination of the strikers to resume work. The adjustment of their demands, it Is understood, will be one of the first problems to be worked out by the board, which held Its first meeting with seven of the nine members present. Those absent were: A. O. Wharton of Kansas City, Mo., and R. H. Barton of Memphis, Tenn., both of whom are expected to be here Monday when the board will resume work in earnest Henry Hunt, former mayor of Cincinnati, was elected chairman and Wallace W. Hanger of this city, secretary of the temporary organization of the board, whose work will be the adJuBt ment of the wage demands of approxi mately 2,000,000 railroad employees, aggregating about $1,000,000,000 annually.

Gathering. . *•. Paris, April 21.--Occupation by the allies of the Ruh- basin in western Germany is being -considered by the entente premiers, gathered at San Remo, says the Petit Parisian. Premiers Lloyd George, Millerand and Nttti held a brief meeting and agreed, In principle, on the necessity of forcing Germany to disarm, the newspaper declares, but were not agreed as to the best means of procedure. There was a certain coolness between M. Millerand and Mr. Lloyd George at the opening of the meeting, but It vanished in a short time and utmost cordiality prevailed at the close, according to the Matin. Demands that the allies, during the< San Remo meeting, resist all attempts to revise the terms of the Versailles treaty with Germany are made by Raymond Polncare, former president of the French republic, In an article published by the Matin. France and Belgium have been deprived of guaranties by the failure of Great Britain and the United States to put the trlparite convention into operation, he saysr and the League of Nations Is as yet without means of action. Premier Millerand is congratulated by M. Polncare for the wisdom he showed in pursuing a "wise policy In view of the necessity of stopping the fatal movement leading the allies to the precipice." M. Polncare declares the allied governments should support France against Germany, and asserts Germany Is violating the Versailles treaty and avoiding all engagements ant1 that France and Belgium could not have done otherwise than advance east of the Rhine when German regulars invaded the neutral zone in the Ruhr valley. San Remo, Italy, April 21.--The allies' supreme council began its formal sessions in the Villa Devachan, on the hills to the northwest of the main town. The Turkish question was on the program for first consideration by the conference. It develops that there already has been discussion over the question of enforcing the execution of the treaty of peace with Germany. There seems no doubt that the premiers are agreed Joint declaration must be sent to Germany requiring her to fulfill the conditions of the Versailles treaty and that. If she does not do so, the allies will take measures to compel her. The premiers, however, have not yet agreed upon the form of pressure to be used should Germany continue negligent At the end of the first day of Its deliberations the interallied supreme council drafted a reply to President Wilson's recent note on the Turkish peace treaty to certain clauses of which the president has objected. Further discission of the Turkish settlement was shelved pending Mr. Wilson's reply. The note, It Is understood, complains that American nonrepresentation at the San Remo conference Is delaying the Turkish settlement. It asserts that America's assent is necessary to render th? treaty operative. WIND KILLS 20 IN ARKANSAS Many Injured as Result of 8torms That 8wept Northern Counties- Six of Ons Family Perish.

SHOE POLISH "SUNG" ROOT OF LANGUAGE LITTLE CHANGE IN PHYSIQUE Idiom of Today In Correct Usage Tomorrow, beclares University Professor of English. That the slang and Idioms today will be correct English tomorrow is the opinion of Prof. H. Gllcksman of the English department. University of Wisconsin. "Our language Is made up of what was once slang. Idiom, colloquialism, and jargon." he .said lately, and warned that the most deplorable feature about slang was Its tendency to produce mental slovenliness. Professor Gllcksman then referred to the word "mob" as slang of 200 years ago and as such denounced In the Spectator by Addison. "It Is an abbreviation of the word •mobile.' Even so the word *rep' Is vital and virile and will survive with the word 'snappy.' But to gain recognition slang must be free .rom vulgarity and cheapness," said Professor Gllcksman. "The term *How do yon get that way?* Is condemned because It Is meaningless, but the term 'he has a pull' is approved as It Is the opposite of 'push,' a word that has forged ahead through Its own strength;"-- Outlooks He that falls In love with himself will have no rivals.--Franklin. tots of grown folks are as hard |o •muse as a baby. Rsport That Average Stature of Amer* lean Men Was Affected by War Declared Untrue. I wholesale clothing mannfactw» ers assert that there has not been any change in the size of their garment* since the war. They are manufacture Ing more garments, but the proportion of larger sizes is no greater now than It was three years ago. In short, their size patterns have not changed. Yet changes would be necessary if the stat* ure of American men had been affect* ed in any appreciable way by the year* and s half or two years of military training. , Manufacturers of ready-to-wear shirts and undergarments agree with the clothing manufacturers that there has been no change in their size pat* terns despite the reports of numerous Individuals who take, "a slse larger** today than they did before the war. As one manufacturer put It, the pro* portion of soldiers who need large* sizes In shirts or suits today than they did two years ago Is so small that it has no effect on wholesalers. Sales* men naturally remember certain Indl* vldual cases of increased chest develop* ment, but taking the country by an4 large, there has been no appreciably change in the physique of the mala portion of the population, at least a* far as their clpthing is concerned.
