Wyatt Brown Main Speaker At 29th Annual Meeting Of Harrisburg See Students Burn College Prexy In Effigy Legal Threat Raised Over Relief Plan Signed Statements Tell Of Mrs.

Hazel Elmer's Death BELVTDERE, N. Nov. 20. Carlton F. Clymer's signed statement recounting how Mrs, Hazel Ebner, attractive 28-year- old widow, unexpectedly collapsed and died in his embrace was put in evidence today at his murder trial.

Prosecutor Sylvester C. Smith, read the statement while Cly mer, 24, a former soldier, gazed unperturbed. The introduction of the state ment was the final act in the state's presentation of its case, For an hour afterwards counsel engaged in argument in chambers on a defense motion for directed verdict of dismissal. Judge Run- yon denied the motion, and the defense will open tomorrow. The body of Mrs.

Ebner, strip ped of all clothing save a black dress, was found lying on a cush ion of Clymer's automobile in an alfalfa field north of Easton, on the morning of September 21, By her side lay Clymer, uncon scious from the fumes of carbon monoxide issuing from the car's exhaust pipe. The state contends Mrs. Ebner was suffocated when Clymer, bent on assaulting her, pressed her face to his shoulder, Clymer, in the statement read by prosecutor Smith the fourth admitted as evidence and one of five he made in the first three days of his arrest recounted how he and Mrs. Ebner drove from a party near Easton to Feit's Woods, Phillipsburg, the "Lovers Lane" of the old Jersey town. I kissed her and fondled her and she asked me if I still loved her, and I said yes," the statement read.

i Then I got out and walked around the' car. Her last words, as 1 remember, were: What do you think you're going to do Clymer said he stood with one foot on the ground, the other on the running board of the car, and pulled Mrs. Ebner toward him. I held her close and she sud denly went limp," the statement said. "I shook her and called her Hazel.

Then she fell back. I saw her eyes and I had seen enough dead people to know she was dead." "Did she struggle?" was the question proposed to Clymer in the statement. "No," was the answer, "that was the thing. If she had only pushed me I would have let her go." He entered the car then, the statement went on, and drove to Pennsylvania. "I thought I might as well be with her as not," the statement said.

He parked the car in the field, took the body out, and lay down beside it. Afterwards Clymer said he hoped the authorities would regard the case as a double suicide. Clymer's other statements, three of them written and two oral, varied only in details. Defense counsel Egbert Rosecrans raised no objections to the introduction of the statements. The principal witness today was Dr.

Theodore Reichbaum, deputy coroner who performed the autopsy. He testified Mrs. Ebner, mother of an 8-year-old girl, Joyce, died of suffocation. The clothing Mrs. Ebner wore on the night of the fatal ride was put in evidence.

I WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. ff) A legal threat was raised today against the relief administration's plan to build more rural-industrial communities for the destitute un employed. J. McCarl, the comptroller general, ruled that relief funds should not be used for the purchase of home sites or the con struction of dwellings.

His opia ion blocked a relief grant for low cost housing in the District of Columbia. Speculation immediately devel oped as to whether McCarl's rul ing would affect the two rural industrial communities now being built with relief money and plans for 12 others announced recently by Harry L. Hopkins, the relief administrator. President Roosevelt has publicly applauded the building idea. The McCarl ruling was made public a few hours after Hopkins told a conference of educators and agricultural extension workers that he intended to lend destitute farm families money for "anything that will get them a home." Give Second Reports The second report on the annual finance-membership drive now go ing on in Hollidaysburg for the support of the Hollidaysburg Young Men's Christian association community center was given by workers at the association last evening.

This lecture is the first of series of fall and winter lectures which will be presented in Altoo na under the auspices of the Altoona Engineering society. Drug May Lengthen Life CLEVELAND, Nov. 20 fP)- Human life can be lengthened at least a little, by use of a drug that is claimed to reduce worry and in crease resistance to disease, Dr.

Wilder D. Bancroft of Cornell pre dicted today before the National Academy of Sciences today. He has not tried it on humans yet, but based his prediction of preliminary tests on rabbits and chickens. The drug is sodium rhodanate, used in the experiments or Dr. Bancroft to treat drug addicts, and which he declares have been successful.

Sodium rhodanate is not a specific cure nor preventative for any di sease, he emphasized, but in the case of rabbits and chickens at least, it reduced their nervous ir- luaonuy ana made tnem more healthy and able to resist disease. Dr. Bancroft treated chickens and rabbits with sodium rhodanate by putting a little of it in their tmnKing water ana comparing: their resulting health with that of other chickens and rabbits that did not receive the drug. He found that the sodium rhoda nate seemed to increase their resistance to diseases caused by intestinal parasites and to respiratory diseases or "colds" contracted by the rabbits.

In many cases it is found advisable to send the applicant to his (or her) home, but this is only done after the local bureau officials are sure they will be taken care of after their arrival.

But what could be done with an 18-year-old poet who had no home? When asked what he thought he would like to do, to their astonishment, he told bureau officials that he should like to attend High school. This was an unusual request as far as the Transient Bureau was concerned. In most instances an 18-year-old boy that falls into their hands does so as the result of running away from school. Here was a boy who was actually asking the privilege of going to school. However, the Bureau waa organized to give service, so here was an opportunity of giving a real service.

An Altoona family was found where the boy was placed and he was entered on the roster of the school. "We are very pleased with the results in this case," a bureau offi cial explained. "He reports at the bureau every week and his teachers say that he is a very diligent lad. I understand he Is working on another small book of poems.

(P) From three directions came signs today of a new drive in congress for monetary expansion, despite still echoing administration assurances there would be "no orgy of Inflation." Back for another session, Senator Wheeler announced he would resume his fight for the free coinage of silver at a ratio of nof more than 16 to 1 with gold. In Detroit, the Rev.

Father Charles E. Coughlin, after a conference on currency expansion with Senator Thomas (D-Okla), announced that his national union for social justice will create "a direct, up and aboveboard lobby" in Washington. On the bouse side of the capitol the Patman bill for cashing the bonus through "controlled expansion of the currency" was completed for reintroduction as another stepping stone for the Inflationists. These developments came hard on the heels of the statement in Atlanta last night by Donald R. Richberg, recovery coordinator, that "to get drunk again tn another orgy of inflation" would be the worst of "all the quack a at he NEW YORK, Nov.

20. After engaging in fisticuffs with police, more than 500 striking" City college students today burned the figure of president Frederick B. Robinson in effigy at the base of the campus flagpole. The cardboard effigy represented Dr. Robinson, who is ill in Mount Sinai hospital, with a second head that of Premier Mussolini.

The strike broke out after smouldering resentment among certain campus liberal and radical groups in connection with the expulsion in month ago of 21 undergraduates for staging an anti-Fascist demonstration during a visit of Italian students. Fists flew and several persons were knocked down when police attempted to break up the demonstration. It started when Charles Milgrim, an expelled student, began a speech calling for a general strike. The timely arrival of professor George M. Brett, who took grim's place on the improvised Rostrum and told the students they could use the stadium ended the fighting.

The strikers started marching toward the stadium, chanting "oust Robinson" and "reinstate the 21 students." Shouts of "cops off the campus" suddenly (broke from the group. Again they began exchanging punches with the officers. The college authorities, to avert a serious disorder, allowed the students to return to the flagpole. The trouble started in the early morning when a black flag appeared atop the flagpole. It was removed by a steeplejack and replaced with the American flag.

Finally the demonstration quietly ended. Three students had been arrested in connection with hang ing of the flag. Dean Morton Gottschall said the pole had been summoned by the college authorities who told them they opposed any demonstration except in the stadium. Asked what steps, if any, would be taken to prevent a repetition of the demonstration, the Dean said: "Tomorrow is another day, there has been no perceptible effect on attendance at classes." Lad Suffers Broken Leg While At Play While playing in the vicinity of his home last evening, Harold Dunn, 13, of 211 Twelfth street, ran into another boy and suffered a fractured left femur. The Dunn boy and an older lad were running toward each other and collided.

The knee of the older boy struck Harold Dunn on the upper leg, fracturing it. He was taken to Altoona hospi tal where he was treated in the dispensary and admitted to the institution at 8:45 o'clock. His condition was reported as 1 fairly good last night. At the end of the cigar makers' strike at Manila, P. it was found that all workers could not be taken back by the factories because the demand for "smokes" had dropped during the walkout.

Officers of the mass squired Car dinal Mundelein. An impressive figure in red and white, ermine and silk mantle, he walked slowly down the narrow path. Hats came off and heads bent- as he lifted his hand in blessing. Cardinal Mundelein sang the mass before an altar profusely blanketed in green ferns and red roses.

He paused at the gospel while Monsignor J. Gerald Keely read the congratulations of the pope; "We can no loneer delay in renewing and In making open declaration of the feeling of our heart toward you.

(P) George Cardinal Mundelein's silver jubi- ee year celebration culminated to day in one of the most colorful religious spectacles Chicago has seen in recent years.

Ten thousand persons richly robed prelates, liveried priests and devout laymen crowded the Holy Name cathedral and thronged the neighboring thoroughfares to honor his 25th year in the Episcopacy. They stood patiently in a steady drizzle to witness a stately procession of 1,500 clergymen and those who were able knelt in the large edifice while the cardinal offered up a pontifical mass in thanksgiving for the divine favors he has received since he came out of New York's East Side to be consecrated a Catholic bishop in 1909.

Being homeless and hungry, he appealed to the Transient Bureau for assistance. His case was only one of many the Bureau investigators handle daily, but the bureau found John was just a little bit dif-f-rent from the average run of cases with which It had to contend. Thj files of the Transient Bureau show that thr" have helped every possible type of person.

Among the list are architects, dentists, a doctor, a. newspaper man, salesmen, artists, a lawyer, chemists, engineers and even a private detective. But John was none of these, neither was he a laborer. He was a poet! He not only was a poet, but had book of poems to prove it. This surely was a stickler to the Bureau attendants.
