Ourope is disturbed by the pos
sibility of a general war as Mr.
Hitler reveals that Italy. Ger
many and Japan have an under
stnding which binds them togeth
er, England and France having
adhered to an agreement of some
sort, with Russia more or less
alone on account of her insistence
on communism, which is looked
at askance in most other quarters.
The war scare is rebooted in
the United States by a decline in
stocks, something which an ex
pert along that line expects and
often is able to turn to his nwr.
advantage. The pure investor,
however, or the man who is try
ing to bui’d up an income is left
wondering whether the person
not conversant with the market
game had better depend on stocks
or on the old fashioned sock whi
ch after all has survived many a
crash that has put the Wall Stree
ters out of business. A dollar in
hand, like the proverbial bird, is
worth two in the bush.
Speaking of the bottom failing
out of the market, a Missouri far
mer is willing to shuffle off his
new wife if he can get back the
dollar and a half that he paid as
a license fee. Maybe the bride
also would be entirely satisfied
with the arrangement. The cou
ple may succeed in arranging a
satisfactory split up. but it will
take more than a Philadelphia
lawyer to get the dollar and a
half from the license clerk. The
scripture has something to say
about the difficulty attendant up
on a camel passing through the
eye of a needle, but if anyone
wants a real task, let him try to
secure the return of cash after
the duly constituted governmen
tal authority; has written “Re
ceived payment” at the bottom
of a piece of paper.
Lest we forget, the Duke of
Windsor is the man who used to
be King of England. According
to report, the Duchess dusted oc
the parlor furniture, got out the
gold banded dishes usually reser
ved for Thanksgiving Day and
the time when the minister comes
for supper and then waited in
vain for the arrival of a royal re
lative by marriage, who passed
right by the Austrian castle of,
the Duke without even tooting
the horn or dropping back into
second gear to take a look a.t the
house. Edward and Mrs. Wind-;
sor should worry. Probably!
those who snubbed them were
sore because they did not have a
chance at the job that he turned
down.

as to why Edward really laid
aside his Kingdom. Few seem to
think that peThaps. after all, it
was because he valued quiet and
privacy above all else. It is true
that John Quincy Adams went
back to Congress after his term
in the White House had ended,
but most former Presidents are
content with their own vine and
fig tree after their labors as
Chief Executive are over. May
be Edward chose the wiser course
by selecting the quiet path early
in the game, especially since his ;
country was faced by no crisis
that called for his egorts as dis
tinguished from those of someone
else.

Mr. Sopwith, who recently
made a brave fight for the yacht
ing cup, has been recognized by
a New York policeman as a per
son who was arrested and fined
$5, twenty-five years ago, for
speeding. The incident suggests
several things, one of which is1
that in the long run nothing is
hidden that shall not be revealed.
Again, it may be remarked that,
Mr. Sopwith can make better
speed on land than on water. '
Finally, it is to be observed that
times have changed. An auto
driver who does not sten it ud to
40 miles an hour nowadays thinks
that he is loafing on the road. On
the whole, it will be well to for
give Mr. Sopwith’s law breaking
of a quarter of a century ago, on
the ground that, as the poet says:
“Time makes ancient good un
couth,” and on the further gro
are tarred with the same stick as
und that most of us auto drivers
that with which the British yacht
sman was marked to the extent
of approximately 1 pound sterl
miles an hour was considered a

Thor Henricksen, Acting Collec
tor of Internal Revenue for this
district announces that he has
been advised by the Commission
er of the Internal Revenue Ser
vice that Social Security informa
tion returns on forms SS-2 and
SS-2-A will not be required for>
the quarter ending September!
30. The next filing of such re
turns will be for the six months
beginning July 1st and ending
December 31st, instead of the
quarterly return originally plan
ned. Social Security taxpayers
will therefore make no returns
of foms SS-2 and SS-2A for the
quarter ending September 30, as
previously instructed but will
during January 1938 make such
returns for the six months per
iod as stated above.
Testimony Heard
Coroners Inquest
Held Yesterday
(Continued From Page One)
Beery'stab Bogan, but his con
tention weakened under a mixup
of questioning and answering.
Doyle was brought to the wit
ness stand and he described who
were present during Sunday af
ternoon and early evening. He
stated he had laid down on the
bed after drinking too much wine
and had fallen asleep. When he
laid down he said there was no
argument o r fighting going on.
He did not know when he woke
up. but when he did he discover
ed blood all over the place and
Bogan apparently dead, slumped
against the table. He became al
rmaed and ran out meeting the
two native girls and telling them
to call the authorities. This was
the extent of his knowledge con
cerning what took place.
Lou Beery was called and un
d.;r oath admitted being drunk at
the cabin. That he did not know
when he left, nor that anything
had taken place there such as a
murder. All he said he knew,
was that he was bleeding from a
wound in his head and that two
native boys took him to the hos
pital. Between the time when he
said everything was peaceful in
the Doyle cabin, until after the
death of Bogan and his subsequ
ent walking around and being
taken to the hospital, he said
everything was blank.
Under severe questioning by
the Coroner, Beery contended he
did not remejmber anything of
physical violence happening at
the cabin, that he did not know
when he left or how, that he did
n’t know where he went, until he
recognized one of the* two native
boys as Bill Kanyak and of them
taking him to the hospital for
treatment, and of his arrest and
incarceration in the federal jail.
Beery was the last witness on
the stand and the coroner’s jury
then considered the testimony &
evidence, bringing in the above
verdict.
Bill Nelson was a witness ques
tioned concerning the death of
Bogan, but he disclaimed any
knowledge of what took place.'
All he knew was that he had cele
brated his birthday, was drunk
and that he had been arrested by
Malldley and placed in the fed
eral jail. He was fined $20 before
City Magistrate Walsh yesterday
for being drunk on the public
streets.
Beery is still in the federal jail,
and it was understood that de
tails for his arraignment on a
preliminary hearing were being
