to the reason for the removal of X. T.
Harmon as warden of the Xebraska
penitentiary, that fear of an outbreak
at the prison may have contributed
to the board's action.
When, he announced removal cf

was authorized by the board to say
was that the action was for the best
interests of the institution and the
state. He added that the acion was
by an unanimous voe of the board.

foiled recently by the finding of hack

He thought Harry W. Jepersen,
present deputy, would act as head of
the reformatory for the time being.

BODY OF AVIATOR FOUND
Annapolis. Md. The body of Lieut.
Mathias M. Marp'.e, 36 year old navy
flier, who was hurtled to his death
in the Chesapeake bay during a
heavy fog, was found in the wreckage
of his plane beneath 24 feet of water
three miles off Annapolis.
The discovery ended a search car
ried on by the naval academy ever
since the aviator met death on Oct.
CO en route from Dover, Del., to the
navy proving ground at Dahlgren,
Va., where he was stationed.
The members of the local grove are
very proud of the announcement that

ly on a third building at the Wood
men Circle Home for orphan chil
dren and aged members near Sher
man, Tex., was made following the
board meeting of national directors
at Omaha, Xebr. Board sessions,
which have extended over the past
two weeks, ended Saturday.
The building, which will house old
people at the home, is to be known
as the "Dora Alexander Talley"
building, in honor of Dora Alexander
Talley, Woodmen Circle national
president. It is to be erected by the
Texas membership of the society. Con
ferences with architects will be held
within the next few days and con
struction will begin as soon as pos
sible, it was announced.
Tentative plans call ror accommo
dations for 50 old people in the new
building. Individual living quarters
will be provided for all. It is hoped
to have the building completed early
in June.
Site of the new building will be
the present location cf the home on
244 acres of fine farm land, one and
one quarter miles from Sherman. The
first building at the home was dedi
cated in 1930. Since that time a sec-
end building, the Pennsylvania Build
ing, has been erected. Forty-five chil
dren and seventeen old people are
cared for there at the present time.
It was decided also by the direc
tors to hold a Woodmen Circle "Na
tional Institute" in Omaha in 1937.
Between 1,300 and 2,000 persons are
expected to attend. The purpose of
the "Institute" is to serve as a train
ing school for leaders in the Wood
men Circle work.

for three regional meetings to be
held next year. These will last about
five days and all members who have
rendered outstanding service to the
organization will be eligible to at
tend. Directors attending the board meet
ing were: Mrs. Talley; Jeanie Wil

an investigation by authorities of
the newspaper Berliner Lokalanzei
ger and the reported arrest of several
members of the editorial staff.

nich Saturday by Rudolph Hess, min
ister without portfolio, the news
paper used the word "freiheitsbeau
bung" (despoilment of freedom), in
stead of "freilheitsbewegung" (move
ment for freedom).
