Sen. Rush D. Holt, W. Va.t an isolationist leader, remarked at the conclusion of Pepper's speech: "The same words and sentiments were uttered against Lindbergh's father, who was a member of congress and who was also against war. We could find almost the identical sentiments that were uttered then in the remarks today and I fear that the same results will be attained in the year 1940 because of the same war-monger-ing." Lucas implied that Lindbergh was four years late in suggesting American attempts to bring peace in Europe, asserting that President Roosevelt had done "everything within his limited power to persuade the nations of Europe to adjust their difficulties through peaceful means rather than war." Sought Basis Of Peace Lucas recalled that Mr.

Roosevelt pleaded with Premier Benito Mussolini "even to the last hour" before Italy entered the war and that the president had sent emissaries to Europe to discuss "the basis upon which peace with the world could be attempted." Referring to Lindbergh's remarks that "treaties are seldom torn apart when they do not cover a weak nation," Lucas listed Germany's conquests and added: "No one has forgotten the fall of democratic Fraence, and yet Lindbergh advises us to be cautious about criticizing the present French government under Marshal Petain, which, as every one knows, is a nazi government." Ha described Lindbergh as a "youthful man who has blossomed overnight into an oracle who instructs the world and his country on such momentous problems as war, statesmanship and diplomacy." I still contend," he said, "that Colonel Lindbergh is a great American flier." Inheritance Taxes Gut Into Estate Of William Horlick 1 In James V.

(AP) Five candidates, including1 William B. Rubin, of Milwaukee, proposed for governor on the democratic ticket, have dropped out of the September primary race, the secretary' of state's office announced today.

Nomination' papers had been filed for them but they failed to submit declarations of acceptance before the deadline Monday. Rubin's withdrawal left four democrats seeking1 the nomination for governor: William R. Callahan, Raymond J. Cannon, Gerhard A. Hagedorn and Francis E.

McGov-ern, all of Milwaukee. Morley G. Kelly, of Fond du Lac, former state senator, was the sole remaining candidate for lieutenant governor on the democratic ticket and Julius G. Seyfert, of Eagle River, had a clear field for that party's nomination for secretary of state. State Senator Anthony P.

Gaw-ronski and Marshall Whaling, both of Milwaukee, withdrew as candidates for lieutenant governor and Jay Glerum, of Kenosha, dropped out of the race for secretary of state. James Francis Heffernan, of Milwaukee, decided not to run against Rep. John C. Schafer for congress in the fourth district, leaving Schafer without opposition for the republican re-nomination. With the withdrawal of Rasmus Anderson, of Green Bay, from the senatorial contest, the progressives had no candidate for state senator in the second district.

Rickeman, commissioner of the motor vehicle department, reported today a decline in the number of revoked or suspended drivers' licenses.

Two New Deal senators called him chief of the fifth columnists in the nation and an amateur statesman whose advice on world problems proves he "still is a great flier." Lindbergh had charged that domestic and foreign "interests" were attempting to draw the United States into war, urged that America offer Europe a peace plan, and suggested that the United States could "co-operate" with a victorious nazi Germany. The flier was assailed both on the senate floor and over the radio networks by Senators Claude Pepper of Florida and Scott W. Lucas of Illinois. Shocked By Lindbergh's Attitude Lucas, in a radio address last night answering Lindbergh's, told the nation to "stop, look and listen" before following Lindbergh's counsel on problems of war, statesmanship and diplomacy. His speech was sponsored by the democratic national committee.

He said he was "not only amazed, but somewhat shocked" by Lindbergh's "attitude of complacency toward Adolf Hitler." Lindbergh was called the chief of the nation's fifth columnists by Pepper, who suggested to the senate that "maybe the Colonel would like to see American life regimented the Hitler way." He was referring to the portion of Lindbergh's speech in which he said that "it is of the utmost importance" for the United States to co-operate with Europe "in our relationships with the other peoples of the earth" even if Europe should become nazi-dominated. "The colonel has been a friend of Germany a long time," Pepper asserted; "He might not be terribly frightened if Germans were reported in the United States, because he would know that he Windsors To Reach Island In Two Days Aboard American Export Liner Excalibur, At Sea.

il -s -J-f Racine, Wis. (UP) Federal and state inheritance taxes today slashed the 517,000,000 estate of the late William Horlick multi-millionaire malted milk manufacturer and philanthropist, to a fraction of its original value. Figures agreed upon by executors and state and federal tax officials in a final hearing before County Judge J. Allan Simpson yesterday disclosed that in taxes will be deducted from the estate. The elder Horlick died in September, 1937.

Already more than $6,000,000 in taxes has been paid and Judge Simpson disclosed that the balance will be paid within 10 days. A total of $9,500,000 will go to the federal government and $2,650,000 to the state. However, the $5,000,000 residue of the elder Horlick's estate still is subject to additional taxes. The estate has been in litigation, for four years during which three of the principal heirs have died, subjecting their share of the inheritance to taxation again. The $5,000,000 was to have been divided between the elder Horlick's German Hour By Hammond Chicago.

(JP) Radio station WHIP, Hammond, announced today it had notified the German American National alliance of Chicago of cancellation of the alliance's Einheitsfront (united front) hour after August 10. Dr. George F. president of the company owning the station, said Hammond citizens had been objecting to the broadcasts for sometime and that he had promised to ban the program "if it is proved to be subversive." The program broadcast in German, carried official notices of the front's activities. Doris Keane, secretary of the Hammond-Calumet Broadcasting corporation, notified Paul A.

F. Warnholtz, managing director of the front, as follows: "The 'German hour on radio station WHIP will not be accepted for broadcasting over this station after Saturday, Aug. 10, 1940, by order of the board of directors." Since February the front has been broadcasting for one hour daily over the station. It has kept its weekly payments of approximately $400 paid up two weeks in advance. WHIP authorized this statement In connection with the ban: "It is obvious that the German-American National alliance represents a minority group of the American populace.

Although It is Important to America that we allow minorities to plead their cases at the bar of public opinion, and that no essential right be denied them, radio broadcasting cannot be regarded as one of these essential rights. "Our American conception of privileges also insists that all these broadcasts be presented in the public interest, convenience and necessity, which indicates that the radio station operator is the By JOHN H- WIGGIN AP Feature Service Auburn, N. Y. It was August 6, 1890. Kemmler was dead.

Like other criminals he had paid the penalty for murder. For butchering: Tillie Ziegler of Buffalo, N. with an ax, during a drunken quarreL But the method of William Kemmler's death, rather than his crime, drew the attention of the nation, of London, Paris, Berlin and Vienna. The pale, bearded little man, an illiterate and an habitual drunkard, was the first to die in the electric chair. Today, 50 years after Kemmler gave up his life, opinion is divided on whether the chair is humane.

Despite objection, the practice has spread to 21 states and the District of Columbia-Many Protests Kemmler's death, a result of a New York law replacing the hangman's rope with electricity, and marking the first of 524 such deaths in the state, provoked a great outcry. Protests of the "sickening sight" and "the horrible scene" voiced by witnesses brought assertions of a "terrible failure" and predictions the law would be repealed. Immediately after the experiment, the Saturday Globe, a Utica, N. weekly newspaper, portrayed with wood cuts and several thousand printed words the -horror of the first and perhaps the last electrocution." In almost minute detail it described how Auburn Prison Warden Charles Durston unlocked Kemmler's cell and ushered the prisoner, "who walked erect and with marked composure," to the death room. Before 27 witnesses, including physicians, clergymen and "reputable citizens," Kemmler wished "good luck to everybody" and wa3 seated in the chair.

Four shocks were administered. Flesh burned end a spectator fainted. Physicians were undecided whether the first shock killed the murderer or whether "the wretch must have suffered agonies beyond the human mind to conceive But most protests were silenced when medical men finally announced that-circulation, respiration and life ceased with the first contact. Eleven months later, four men were electrocuted at Sing Sing prison. Warden W.

R. Brown described electrocution "in every respect successful, entirely painless to the condemned, and in no wise obnoxious to those present." Technique Is Changed Since then there have been refinements in technique. The voltage has been increased. Electrodes are placed on the head and a leg instead of the spine. The head, chest, arms and legs are strapped to the chair.

Three shocks are given. Before the first electrocution the Society of Friends and other organizations petitioned the legislature for abolishment of the death penalty. Similar' efforts never have ceased. How States Stand On Electrocution Electrocution as the penalty for murder i3 now in force in Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, District of Columbia.

States giving life imprisonment rather than capital punishment include Maine, Michigan. Minnesota, North Dakota. Rhode Island, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

Horlick's inheritance is subject to further taxation as share of her $1,750,000 estate; the one-third left to the late William Horlick, now is under probate and subject to taxes; and one-third left to Mrs. Maybelle Horlick Sidley, who died in 1938, also is being reduced by state and federal levies. Alexander J. Horlick, president of the Horlick Malted Milk company, is sole surviving member of the family and sole executor of his father's estate. He also is only heir to the $5,000,000 estate of his brother, William, Jr.

Informed sources said the Horlick Malted Milk company would not be jeopardized by the heavy tax payments. The major portion of the elder Horlick's estate was in negotiable securities and it was possible to redeem these to pay the $12,150,000 tax without affecting the status of the firm.

Therefore any broadcast which engenders social conflicts or kindles hatreds cannot be construed as serving the public interest." This was reported to have been the first time a radio station had rejected a foreign language program because of controversy stirred by the broadcasts.

Station directors told the sponsors of the hour "as now being presented is of such controversial nature as to make it unacceptable to many Americans.
