Sheriff Rufus A. Johnston of Morgan county, Colorado, was reported working on the premise the killing was a "hired assassination." Regarding a statement of Sheriff Johnston that the body had apparently been placed In a straw stack for several hours after the slaying, Washburn quoted Schopflln as saying he went to the stack to obtain some liquor he had cached there. Schopflln, Washburn said, admitted he had engaged in bootlegging activities near Wiggins. The youth, according to the detective, said he never touched the body after he had shot the school teacher and allowed her to fall Into the irrigation ditch.

Washburn said he had been informed that Sheriff Johnston was leaving for Stockton Sunday to return Schopflin, who was arrested here in connection with an automobile accident. He was also wanted on a watch theft charge. After prolonged grilling he suddenly confessed to slaying Miss Marriott. Sunday he was A Washington Bystander By KIBKE SIMPSON. Washington.

With Nicholas Xong-worth taken suddenly by death added problems of leadership In the new congress are piled upon shoulders of the three survivors of the Republican "four horsemen" of house control. Tllson of Connecticut, Snell of New York and Hawley of Oregon are left with a heavier burden. Already they faced extreme difficulties. Even if death does not further Intervene to wrest the nominal Republican majority of one vote from them before the house actually convenes, delicate lntraparty situations confront them to hold that vote In line. All Longworth's experience, his skill at the Intimate business of political diplomacy, his warm personal friendships with virtually all house members had been relied upon.

RUMBLING OF DISCONTENT. There were rumblings of discontent, even of a move to desert Longworth as the party candidate for speaker to succeed himself, before the seventy-first congress adjourned. Most onlookers did not take them seriously. They were viewed as moves in the game some of the western members have played to obtain relaxation of certain house rules against which they complain. Longworth's earned reputation for fairness as presiding officer, never challenged even by the Democrats, was a factor counted upon in the next congress.

No experienced house member fails to realize that It will take extreme skjill, even cooperation between leaders of the two parties, perhaps, to keep the next house from chaos. DEMOCRATS HAVE PROBLEMS. On the Democratic side, sincere as is the personal regret among them all at the death of a colleague they have hailed as friend, Longworth's death could not but Increase the hopes of those who desire to take instant advantage of any break that might put the party in control of the house. They have not been unanimous as to that. The Democrats have their own organization problems to face should chance throw the house Into their hands.

Minority Leader Garner of Texas, the almost certain Democratic candidate for speaker, Is not without opponents In his own party. There is a deeper trouble for the Democrats than that. It has to do with the seniority rule, long followed by both parties in the house in selecting chairmen for committees. A New Yorker At Large By MARK BABKON. New York.

This modernistic de sign In art and furniture Isn't so ad vanced, after all. It goes back to Indian art, and Princess Atalie says she can prove It. Her full name is Princess Atalie Unkalunt, which means Sunshine Rider she Is the Cherokee daugh ter of Domgesque Unkalunt, for many years a state senator In Oklahoma. Princess Atalie early deserted her Ozark hills for musical conservatories in Boston. Then the came along and she went over as a volunteer worker, first baking apple pies for soldiers in Liverpool, then as stenog rapher In Paris, and last as a singer entertaining the troops up behind the lines.

She returned home as an opera singer but illness kept her in a wheel chair for many months. She turned to painting, designing, writing. INDIAN WORKSHOP. Today the Princess reigns over a singular salon In West Fifty-seventh street. It Is a whole floor above a garage, and Its decor gives It the ap pearance of a giant tepee.

There Is a theater where Indian actors, dano ers and musicians perform. There are workrooms where furniture is made, silks are painted and rugs are woven. There is a large Pueblo fireplace before which gather Indian artists from all over the world. The day we were there we met an archaeologist of an Inca tribe in Peru, and a musician from a tribe in Wisconsin. The pricess, pretty and with a sense of humor, has written several books of Indian legends for children, and she does her own illustrations.

She was writing an operetta with Victor Herbert when he died. She still sings In opera and often goes to Wisconsin to play the lead ing role In outdoor pageants which are given by the Indians amid wood' land scenes. The princess Is now chiefly ccn cerned with interior decorating. She is furnishing the new home of Mrs. William K.

Vanderbilt In Aztec style Southern Democrats, because of less turnover, naturally gravitate into seniority pofitlons. At present if the Democrats were to organize the house, 6ix or eight of the most important committee chairmanships would go to Texans under the seniority rule. Jealousy among northern and west ern Democrats whose votes actually make pa necessary majority for control is inescapable. Hopes for Petroleum Rise With End of Price War. Rt ri.Ai he jtnr.iR New York.

June 21. W) While general business came more and more under the Influence of summer lassitude during the last week, there were a few new developments which may profoundly Influence the course of economic recovery. The international outlook brightened perceptibly toward the close of the week, when President Hoover disclosed that he was carrying on nonpartisan conferences with political leaders "particularly directed toward strengthening the situation in Germany." Domestically, the filing of the petition of the railroads for a 15 per cent Increase In freight rates was one of the most important financial and business developments of the year. Commodity prices during the last fortnight, as measured by commonly quoted Indices, have shown the most hopeful signs of bumping bottom In some three months. Fresh hope for improvement In the thoroughly demoralized petroleum Industry was generated by the ending of the extremely costly price cutting war on the Pacific coast.

So far as general merchandising Is concerned, the Improvement In retail trade noted by the mercantile reviews In the previous week, was not well maintained, but Inquiry for fall merchandise is developing In a manner distinctly encouraging to the wholesale trade. Cotton mills have been feeling the Influences of summer quiet, but the Inquiry for worsted and wool goods for fall hiss been cheering. Many large mills are well employed, and many fabrics are not available for delivery on new orders until well Into August. In the heavy Industries, steel continues to slacken, as generally forecast. In fact the decline has been somewhat more rapid than more optimistic observers had anticipated, and It Is now acknowledged that midsummer shutdowns may bring the industry to such a state of completer quiet as that experienced last December.

Plans to Improve the price structure, however, have brought announcements of Increases In steel sheets for the third quarter, but the new prices remain to be tested. Automobile manufacturing continues to slacken, and building contracts as reported by P. W. Dodge Corp. for the first half of June show slump of about 10 per cent from the average for May.

Mining remains severely depressed by low prices. IN 30-FOOT FALL Evalyn Knapp Slips From Cliff While on Hike. Hollywood, June 21. (U.B Evalyn Knapp, who won her way to highly featured screen roles within the last year after coming from the New York stage, suffered back Injuries and several broken ribs Sunday when she fell from a cliff while hiking In the Hollywood heights. It was believed at first that Miss Knapp's back was broken; but attendants said later that the injuries were less serious.

Miss Knapp was resting easily at 10 p. m. and should recover, physicians said. Miss Knapp and her brother, Stanley, went Into the remote section together. In advance of her brother, Miss Knapp stood at the edge of what Is known as the upper road, a narrow highway encircling Hollywood lake.

As she took a backward step she fell 30 feet. Stanley Knapp ran a mile along the lower road and encountered a police radio patrol car. Miss Knapp wr; removed to the hospital in the car. Miss Knapp played In "Sinner's Holiday," 'River's End," and in "The Millionaire," with George Arllss, since coming to Hollywood. In New York, she was renowned for her beauty In George White's "Scandals." IfDSIttl 1HJMI Pastor Gives Needs to Check 'Storm of Minneapolis, June 21.

UP) The truth, a sense of duty, universal benevolence and courage were declared to be necessary to check a worldwide sweep of a "storm of unrest," by the Rev. Chester Emerson of Detroit, In addressing Knights Templar of the United States here Sunday. The Rev. Mr. Emerson Is right emlnant grand prelate of the organization, which opened its thirty-eighth triennial conclave with religious services.

"Have we any anchors that will hold through the storm? Our answer Is yes," he said. "First, we have a word to the consciences of men, that right Is always right, and man may not compromise. A sense of duty something owing to God, one's neighbor, and one's self is the basis of all morality. "The second anchor is this that truth is mighty above all things end will prevail. Ignorance Is a cwse and a cause of impotence.

Knowledge Is a great weapon in dealing with reality. "The third anchor Is universal benevolence. Good will must rule all the relationships of men, individually and collectively. "The fourth anchor is courage Is a better attitude toward life than fear. Life is a great adventure in which we are all pilgrim warriors.

Security Is the one thing a human being can't have. It would be his ruin If we had it. What we are all seeking Is a mastery over place and circumstance; Only one thing gives It the strength to endure." HBEH Savs He Will 'Fix Arno Matter After His Divorce Tilt. Reno, June 21. UP) Corne lius Vanderbilt.

said Sunday that be was "quite ready for whatever comes In this divorce case of mine against my wife." Vanderbilt said that he bad been informed cf statements by William Woodburn, counsel for Mrs. -Vanderbilt, that "If any divorce Is granted It will be Mrs. Vanderbilt who will get lt. "I am afraid it is going to be quite a fight," he added, "for from what we have heard they seem to be preparing to cause all the trouble they can. Well give them what they ask for.

Commenting on press reports he was "going to get" Peter Arno, New York cartoonist, for allegedly breaking up his home, Vanderbilt said that he would "fix the Arno matter after this divorce busines Is settled." "And what I mean by that I won't say." he added. "I am by no means saying that I am threatening that I will do certain things," Vanderbilt continued, "but If I should contemplate something I have not decided whether I shall tend to it through the courts or per sonally." Vanderbilt would not say that he intended filing an alienation of affec tions suit against the caricaturist, al though reports have had him contemplating such action. Arno was charged by Vanderbilt with having on two separate occasions evidenced affection for his wife. The climax was said to have been reached early last Monday when Vanderbilt so aroused that he took after Arno with a gun, only to realize the enormity of the situation in time and return home. The Vanderbilts separated that same day and on Friday Mr.

Vander- nilt filed his divorce complaint In which he alleged his wife, the former Mary Davidson Weir Logan of Chicago, had treated him with extreme cruelty. Counsel for Mrs. Vanderbilt an nounced Sunday that "legal steps" will be taken Tuesday to combat the divorce action. ARNO TO FILE. Reno, June 21.

UP) Peter Arno, caricaturist who was charged by Cornelius Vanderbilt, with hav. lng been responsibe for the break-up of the Vanderbilt home, was himself expected to file suit for divorce here Monday. There seemed to be some doubt as to whether he would win the decree, however. From reliable sources has come the Information that Mrs. Arno, who Is better known as Lois Long, the writer, will file a cross complaint to her husband's action and that Arno will not contest granting of the decree to her.

Arno came here early In May. He has given no Indication of when he intends filing for divorce, although he did say Saturday that he hoped to be able to leave Reno shortly.

VP) John Schopflln, 21, who Saturday confessed that he had killed Miss Enid Marriott near Wiggins, denied Sunday that he had been hired to slay the 32-year-old school teacher.

Captain of Detectives F. Washburn said Schopflln, after two hours of Racketeer Warfare Flares; Order Six Arrested. Chicago, June 21. (IP) Jacob Kaufman, said by officials to have aided them In a grand Jury investigation under way here into alleged labor racketeering among motion picture operators, was shot to death early Sunday. Assistant State Attorney Charles Bellows immediately ordered the arrest of Thomas Maloy, head of the Chicago Motion Plctunt Operators union and five other men.

The others sought are Danny Stanton, south side gunman under indictment in Wisconsin for the slaying of Jack Zuta; Ralph O'Hara, an associate of Maloy; Eddie Donovan, Cicero gunman, and Jack Quinn and Ralph La Pointe, union executives. Although he declined to disclose Information he had Implicating the men, Mr. Bellows described the slaying as an attempt to embarrass the grand jury's Inquiry. "This is a union killing," he said. "There Is no doubt about that.

Maloy and his crowd have overstepped themselves this time. The murder will react against them rather than disorganize the grand Jury work, as apparently It was Intended to do." Kaufman, a motion picture operator, was shot down as he stood In the entrance of a south side radio shop by one of three gunmen who drew alongside the curb In an automobile. The victim had long been at odds with Maloy and recently led a minority movement to unseat him in favor of Henry Gusenberg, a brother of Frank and Pete Guesenburg who were slain in the St. Valentine's day massacre. The grand Jury Inquiry was prompted by theater owners who, according to Mr.

Bellows and Assistant State Attorney Charles E. Lounsbury, complained of "high handed methods" employed by labor officials in forcing them to employ more motion picture operators than was necessary for operation of amusement places. HOUSE BURNS. Richey, June 21. (Special) The V.
