UP) In Eugene O'Neill's "Lazarus Laughed" the Evanston police today sought to read the answer to the riddle: who killed Jennie Meta "Lazarus Laughed" was the volume the Bradley Polytechnic In- stltute teacher requested from the Northwestern University librarian last Tuesday night just before leaving the building and walking to her death. Police have wondered why she should ask for this particular book In view of the fact that a copy of the same volume was In her handbag at the time. CREATES THEORY A theory today was that something happened while Miss Constance was in the library that caused her to delay leaving the building, and that she asked for the first volume that came to her mind, thus having an excuse for remaining. This theory, received some substantiation from the report of a policeman who returned last night from Peoria, where Bradley Institute is located. The report said that Miss Constance recently had had a part in bringing about the and Tammany hall and lauding Herbert Hoover.

The report has been in circulation that a fe NEW ORLEANS, T.a., Aug. 13.

This situation opened to investigators the possibility that vengeance may have motivated the person who struck down the 42-year-old teacher a few moments after she walked from the university library. was the statement of witness who said he had observed a man loitering about the library entrance some time before Miss Constance's departure.

Richmond's opponent ahouid'be elected the county char-. ter would be thrown out and the old snoils svstem revived. Richmond, as a member of the board of supervisors when the peo pie were given the opportunity to vote the county charter into erieci, naturally has a big advantage among those familiar with the imnrovements in county govern ment, such as civil service, the budget system ana locat control which the charter has made pos- Bible.

As -an issue the county charter can hardly furnish Its op ponents with much campaign fuel, hut the idea that one mem ber of the board of rupervisors could abrogate It is ridiculous, there are those who honestly oe Ire to see the county charter dropped overboard and the oiu conditions restored, they will not ac complish their objective through -a ingle member or tne Doara 01 u-pervlsors. Charter amendments and charter revocation depend upon the vote of the people. The friends of Richmond intend to start a number of local organisations during the coming Week.

13. W) Border liquor exporters, alarmed because of the recent raids and seizures whic hhave resulted in a. big decline of business with Detroit cus- omers, are considering suggesting to the Ontarlon and Dominion gov ernments the establlshmen of bond ed warehouses from which liquor mignt ne 'snippea unaer govern-j ment sunervision. The suggestion was made at a meeting with their council of exporters" who are awaiting trial on charges growing out of last Friday's raids. The suggestion may be presented Informally to govern ment authorities this week, before the trial if possible, one exporter said.

Within the last week the bdocks, especially those inside the city Ilm Its, have been doing 25 to 35 per cent less business than a year ago, and the dock operators feel this, is due to increased police surveillance. Even though the seizures may not result in convictions, counsel for tho exporters said, frequent raids and invasions of the docks and warehouses by provincial po lice as threatened by Sir Henry Brayton, chairman of the Ontario liquor control board, will certainly continue to frighten away customers.

Fundamentals Day Adventlsts. This we'bcllove is due to the fact that our denominational faith and practice are based on a wholesome and complete acceptance of the Bible as the Inspired Word of God. The Scriptures, from Genesis to Revelation, unfold God's great plan of redemption through His Son, Jesus Christ. NOT NEW DOCTRINE. "In accepting the" Scriptures as the Word of God, Seventh-Day Adventists are not some new doctrine into the world.

On the other hand; we stand solidly for the great principles upon which the Reformation was based. "Christ foretold a coming day of spiritual decadence throughout the world, in a time of great intellectual and material progress. He foretold also that the evangelization of the world would be accomplished. In that day in spite of every hindrance. At thut time, according to the prophecy, a message calling men and women back to the Bible and to tne Jaw God," is to go forth to- all the world.

This is pointed out in Revelation 14:6. -Seventh-Day Ad ventists are entering heartily into the great gospel commission, carrying the message of salvation as It is outlined in the Word of Owl, which, according "to Scripture, as they It, la to prepare a people to meet their Saviour and Redeemer when He returns to this earth."
