TOLD By MANIER
International President Ad
dresses Luncheon Attended
by Diplomats.
In the presence of diplomats from
ii nations. Will R. Manier. jr., of
Nashville, Term., president of Rotary
International, yesterday told the
■Washington Rotary Club at the Wil
lard Hotel, and a world-wide radio
audience, that the ideals of the or
ganization were working practically
toward establishment of better inter
national understanding and world
peace.
Tracing the growth of Rotary from
«ts beginning 32 years ago, to its in
ternational scope today, Manier said
that 4,142 Rotary Clubs in 82 coun
tries of the world are spending annu
ally through their international or
ganization, clubs, and gatherings, be
tween $15,000,000 and $16,000,000.
These groups of men, banded to
gether for service to their community,
to their business, to society, and to
Understanding throughout the world.
Ihe speaker said, were having a defi
nite bearing on efforts to preserve in
ternational peace. He told how such
clubs help men to know each other,
generate “good will,” which he char
acterized as the “basis for enduring
peace.” In Europe, he said. Rotary
committees meet every three months
at border cities, to help cement
friendship between the nations, and
discuss possible sources of misunder
standing. to increase amity.
Understanding Encouraged.
Specifically he outlined the fourth
dim of Rotary to “encourage and
foster advancement of international
understanding, good will and peace.”
He touched also on the other aims,
of the development of personal ac
quaintance as a means of service,
promotion of high ethical standards
m business and profession, and the
application of the ideal of service to
personal business and community
life.
Rotary had helped improve modern
public speaking, he said, by promot
ing a new style of public address, with
less words, less gestures, more ideas,
and more terminal facilities. The
club also had popularised community
singing, he said.
Dr. Charles T. Warner, president
Of the club, presided. The Interna
tional Service Committee of the club,
James Sharp, chairman, had charge
of the meeting, and community sing
ing was led by Harry Somerville and
George O’Connor.
Members of the diplomatic corps
were seated at a huge head table
which ran around three sides of the
big ball room of the hotel. They were
introduced by Dr. Warner. Such a
meeting itself, he said, promoted the
idea of the club for good will and
understanding among the nations of
the earth.

Flood-Stricken Illinois Town
May Move A way From the Ohio
#7 the Associated Pres*.
SHAWNEETOWN. HI.. February
25.—Shawneetown, the State’s oldest
city, may go the way of Kaskaskia, its
historical predecessor.
Tired of the destructive forces of
recurring floods, Shawneetown, it*
buildings and homes in ruins, was
considering calling it quits—just as
Kaskaskia did in the last century—
and move several miles from the Ohio
Kiver.
Kaskaskia, until it virtually was
washed away by repeated floods, was
the flrst capital of Illinois, and the
only thriving community in the State
older than Shawneetown.
The old towns future seemed
bright in 1825 when Gov. Edward
Coles called it “the commercial queen
of the West” in a welcome to Lafay
•tte.
But the mighty Mississippi River’s
brimming waters spilled over most of
the town in 1844. Subsequent en
croachments destroyed most of what
remained of the site except a few his
torical landmarks. The population
drifted.
Now Shawneetown faces the prob
lem of retreating or suffering a sim
ilar fate.
A legislative committee headed by
Lieut. Gov. John Stell planned to meet
here today with Representative Claude
V. Parsons, Mayor William Brinkley
and other officials to discuss the feas
billty of moving the town.
The proposed plan called for the
merger of Shawneetown with nearby
Junction and their removal several
miles.
Shawneetown experienced serious
floods in 1832, 1847, 1858, 1859 and
1913, and disastrous high water
swept the community in 1882, 1883,
1884 and 1898. Twenty-seven lives
were lost in 1898.

SHORT LINE TO THE CAROLINA!
MRS. TRADER ASKS
Tells Court Police Offered to
Bring Her Liquor, Made
Abusive Remarks.
B; the Associated Press.
SNOW HILL. Md.. February 25.—
Associate Judge James M. Crocket
withheld decision on the petition of
Mrs. Jeannette B. Trader to prohibit
all but her counsel from conferring
with her on details of the fatal shoot
ing of her husband, Clarence J.
Trader.
The petition was filed by her attor
neys. Godfrey Child and John L.
Sanford, jr. Mrs. Trader is in the
Worcester County Jail here, awaiting
trial on an indictment charging first
degree murder. The trial is scheduled
for next month.
Visited Against Wishes.
The petition asserted she was visited
against her wishes by investigators
during her confinement to the jail. It
specifically asked Judge Crocket for a
court order to prohibit the State’s at
torney, members of the State police
and the sheriff from questioning her.
The request alleged Officer John J.
Cassidy of the State police offered to
bring her some liquor In her cell and
Sergt. Marlin Brubaker, also of the
State police, made “several threatening
and abusive remarks” to her.
Mrs. Trader was indicted for mur
der following the death of her hus
band, operator of the Stockton Elec
tric Co., of a bullet wound on the
night of January 14. She claimed
shortly after the shooting that Trader
kilied himself.
Offer Is Refused.
The petition stated that on or about
February 10, Officer Cassidy, ’’fully
cognizant" of the fact that her at
torneys were out of the State, entered
the jail and, “acting like a member of
the fifteenth century star chamber,”
told the prisoner:
“We have the goods on you. We are
going to hang you and you had better
admit your guilt and it will go easier
with you.”
After Mrs. Trader protested her in
nocence of the charge, the petition
quoted Cassidy as replying: “You
think it over and tonight I will re
turn and bring you some liquor.” It
added she refused the offer and
warned the officer it would “cost him
his job” If he brought liquor into the
jail.

can theater managers, has produced

YOUTH KILLS SELF
AFTER ABDUCTION
Girl Tells Story of Wild Ride
After Kidnaping at
Church.
Bt tht Associated Press.
KMMETT, Idaho, February 25 —A
hysterical girl sobbed to officers to
day a story of kidnaping, a wild ride,
escape and the suicide of her abductor,
a spurned suitor.
Pretty Gynell Boom, 20-year-old
choir singer, was carried from a
church in this Southwestern Idaho
village last night, thrown Into an au
tomobile and taken into a lonely sec
tion aouthweet of here, she told Sheriff
Boise Riggs.
Other choir members, startled, stood
by while the young singer was carried
away.
Police Find Body.
Posses searched the countryside all
night without success. The hunt
ended abruptly shortly before dawn
with the finding of Kenneth Crowther's
bullet-torn body in his parked auto
mobile.
Miss Soom Mid she pleaded futilely
with 23-year-old Crowther to "come
to his senses," escaped after a struggle
and was running to a nearby con
struction camp wrhen a shot rang out.
"If you don't marry me I’ll either
kill you or kill myself," Crowther was
quoted as telling the girl.
"Miss Soom. frightened at the
threat, struggled out of the car and
ran down the road toward the camp,”
the sheriff said. "She was but a
short distance from the car when she
beard a shot.
“At the camp she hammered on
doors until the occupants were awak
ened, and then she led the men back
to the Crowther automobile."
Screaming, the girl was carried
away last night while practicing a
Sunday school program and placed In
a roadster.
Responding to her outcries, the
townspeople raced to their cars and
took up the chase.
