Inquiry at Retreat at 4 o'clock this afternoon by The Evening News brought the information that there had been an outbreak but the particulars were not known. The attendant said that Mr.

Mackin had not been slain. Detective Powell said that his information was meagre and he did not know whether the information was garbled or not. He said there was nothing in the brief message to indicate that Dennis Mackin was meant. Police were rushed to the scene. It was reported at the hospital that information would be available as soon as quiet was restored.

A few minutes before presstime, The Evening News received full details of the affray. One of the inmates, armed with a gun, attacked another, killing him instantly. Superintendent Mackin, hearing the shots, rushed to the scene. He immediately proceeded to disarm the man. In do Int.

THREE KILLED, TWO HURT IN U. S. DESTROYER EXPLOSION Norfolk, June 11. Three men Party Without Any Dominating Personality And Also Issues UST GET FARM VOTE T8y Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler) President Of Columbia University) Copyright 1928 By International News Service) Kansas City, June 11.

In my judgment the Republican party faces at this convention one of the most critical i riods in its history." In many ways this crisis is more important and more far-reaching than that of 1912 which was at the bottom a contest ve.ry largely over personalities. The party is now without any dominating personality and whether recognized or not, It is questions of principle and of public policy which are at issue in a most acute form. The fact of the matter is that owing to developments of the last twenty odd years the two great political parties, Republican and Democratic have lost the significance which formally attached to them. The tariff is no longer a living issue. I', has passed into accepted American public policy, and the only interest which that subject now arouses is as to some specific rate of duty or group oi rates.

There are nearly as many upholders of protection In the Democratic party as in the Republican party similarly, the fundamental and far-reaching financial issue has passed out of the realm of The golf standard is accepted by everyone, and the Federal reserve system has brought stability, permanence and elasticity into our national banking and credit systems. No one proposes to Change 'r. Again in respect to foreign relations there are no differences of opinion that tan be called partisan. Public opinion is overwhelmingly for those declarations and arrangements that will establish and maintain international peace. What difference existed as- to our ioining the League of Nations has iargely disappeared since it is becoming evident that the league can do a splendid and constructive work of its own without our membership and tha; iv can and will cooperate with it in those of its international activities that are non-political.

With these questions out of the way, "Tvery other important matter-jphefore-the American people runs straight across present party lines. Tills is true sf-the problems growing out oi me Ighteenth amendment, of the matter i farm relief and constructive agrl-ultural policy, and of confining the federal government into a huge and bureaucracy. As to these natters differences of opinion are so marked that neither party can make a definite, a sincere and a constructive declaration without alienating a substantial portion of its membership. His is why the active political leaders are so much concerned with avoiding all real issues and of confining themselves to those sonorous platitudes which give the least possible offense and make the least embarrassment for a candidate offense and make the least embarrassment for a candidate for office. My interest in politics is In questions principle.

I look upon the Republican party as a most powerful instrument for cood government under our MMiHiitutJon. Mv concern is to have i ith record straight and its declarations Miund on matters of principle, and to let the question of candidates take care of itself. It is obvious, however, that io candidate can possibly be elected r'no alienates the votes of the agrl- irtural west of that widespread liberal which is found throughout the Jitry and which is controlling a z.u States normally Republican. 10UBLE FUNERAL FOR RIVER VICTIMS TJST ti Pitttnn this morn-, ing was that of Andrew and Joseph Valansky, of 605 Main street, Du-pont, who were drowned Friday evening in the Susquehanna river while on a fishing trip with their father at Harding. The funeral procession, comprising scores of automobiles, left the bereaved home at Dupont enroute to St.

John's Slovak Church at Pitts-ton where a high mass of requiem was celebrated by Rev. Andrew Ju-rica, the pastor. An abundance of tlowers showed the esteem in which the two boys were held by residents of Dupont as well as others who sympathized with the grief stricken parents. Interment was made in St. John's cemetery, Exeter.

Banks called in funds front the the call loan market, but funds were in Bupply at 5 Vt per cent. Bullish forces rallied lngood form around U. S. Steel and prevented any wide reaction there. The "nervous shorts" were reported, busily cover-ingr up last week's short selling commitments, and stocks were not too plentiful at the current level of prices.

Except for the spurt in the techni cally-cornered radio and a brief ral ly in General Motors, there was lit tie or no deviation from the down ward swing of prices in the first three hours. The mercantile stocks, the motors and the coppers held their grounds better than in the three final sessions of last week, the oils reacted moderately and the rails recovered a point or two under the lead of New Tork Central. Lack of bullish enthusiasm was accounted for by the renewal of de mand upon the call loan market by the banks at this center. This is in preparation for the June 15 income tax payments, and, later in the month, and the month-end, the July interest and dividend settlements, which will be usually heavy this year. There will be in addition a good volume of financing or the United States treasury.

Dullness and steadiness characterized the whole market In the fourth hour and the whole market was at a standstill in that period. Industrial developments were unimportant and attention was focused again on the political situation. Call money rules at 5 per cent.
