| ‘TIGER’ WIFE OF ‘CANDY KID’
The arrival in Buffalo of Mrs. Richard Reese Whitte-
more known as ‘ The Tiger Woman” to aid her husband
in his trial for the alleged murder of two payroll carriers
furnished one of the final thrills of the case. “I came
to help Dick. He is innocent.” said the woman whose
torrid love notes to the ‘Candy Kid” during his im-
prisonment drew much publicity.
CHURCH WORK
NOT IMPEDED
So Declares Rev. W. A.
Ross in. Letter To
Presbyterians
“It would he a blessing to man-
kind if a certain breed of newspaper
reporters should become extinct
i says Rev. W. A. Ross Presbyterian
missionary at Mexico City 'formerly
of Brownsville in a letter to his
home offices at Nashville describing
'religious conditions in Mexico.
“Hither consciously or uncon-
sciously” says Dr. Ross "the ma-
jority of those who have written on
conditions in Mexico have describes*
them in terms which imply that the
Mexican government is n«»w engaged
in a great religious persecution.”
Continuing ho says:
"We are quite certain that gross
misconceptions prevail at this mo
rnent. respecting many important
phases of the religious situation in
Mexico. The Mexican government i?
trying to enforce the laws which es-
tablished complete separation of
Protestant work has been affectel
church and state. In doing this ou
some especially as regards the wor’
of foreign missionaries but there i;
so much left for us to do that we d<
not believe that the work is going
to he retarded but on the contrary
advanced. It is plac ng the leader
ship more and more in the hands of
the Mexicans. Th;s is desirable.
One of the most inspiring serv-
ices that I have ever attended in all
my missionary life in Mexico was
one that was held a few weks; ago up
on the side of the mountain out ol
Mexico City at a small village called
San Andres. It was the dedication
of their new church. The dedication
of a church is always ' interesting j
The dedication of this one was trebly
so. For six years the Christians
there have been building it. It cost
twelve thousand pesos and all of the
money with the exception of about
five hundred pesos was given by the
people of the v.liage. during all of
these y’ears they have been laying
aside from the work from the sale
of their farm products from the sale
of their flocks for the purpose of
building a house where they can
meet t® worship Clod. The building
j is of stone and brick; there is no
reason why it should not stand for
generat.ons. The whole day was giv-
up to the dedication services and
hundreds of people from all over the
Valley of Mexico were present; it
was a great day for Protestantism.
Other churches sent delegations to
bear words of greeting and to join
with them in the service and to
catch something of their spirit. And
what San Andres has done others
can do. Coming as it did at a time
when nationalism is Rising it gives
an example of what the national
church can do.

4 Brothers Furnish
Criminology Study
All Are in Prison For
Various Crimes in
Missouri
JEFFERSON CITY Mo. May 1.—
Four brothers serving terms in the
penitentiary here furnish criminolo-
gists with an interesting study. The
brothers members of the Underhill
family of Neosho Newton county
Missouri are serving terms ranging
from attempted robbery to murder.
A stepson of their sister is also an
inmate of th^ same prison.
The fourth brother Ceorge Under-
hill 22 years old was dressed in
recently at the prison to serve five
years for burglary and larceny from
Newton county after his brother
Earl had testified aga nst him.
Charles E. Underhill now 32 has
been in prison since Nov. 17 11*13
serving a life sentence for murder.
Wilbur Underhill 25 is serving his
second term. His first term was
two years from Newton county for
attempted robbery. He wus released
in December 15*21 but was returned
Feb 2 11*23 to serve five years for
first degree robbery.
Oldest Brother in
The oldest brother Earl. 36 was
received here last December to serve
two years for burglary and larceny
from Newton county. He was given
credit for his jail time in Neosho
which will make his sentence start
June 2. 1925.
Earl who incurred the enmity of
his family and brothers because he
testified againri Geo je was taktn
from prison to Neosho recently for
the trial.
Earl said he left home when he
was 15 years old and spent most of
his time in the west as a carpenter.
He returned to Missouri at intervals
on visits to his family and his wife's
family.
He said he arrived in Joplin May
22 1925 for a visit with his mother.
The following day his youngest bro-
ther. George asked him to use his
automobile in hauling some stolen
tires from a garage in Neosho. Farl
who said he had never been in trou.-
ble before realized that he did wrong
in using his automobile to haul lh.*
stolen property.
Testimony Convicts Two
In the psrty stealing the tires was
Morris Baine. 22 stepson of a sister
of the Underhill brothers.
After remaining in jail five months
Earl told the officers the complete
story of the robbery and pleaded
guilty to the burglary and larceny
charge. His testimony later resulted
in George getting a five-year sen-
tence and Baine seven years.
The father of the boys was a farm-
er and carpenter in Newton county.
There were four hoys and three girls
in the family. The father died sev-
eral years ago.
JUGO-SLAVIA'S
DEBT OFFER IN
Funding Agreement is
Last of Series Un-
der Adjustment
(Bv The Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON. D. C. May 1.—An
agreement was reached today for the
funding of the $51000000 war debt
of Jugo Slaia to this country.
The settlement apparently com-
pleted the administration’s war debt
funding program so far as it will
be possible to do so for the present.
The Jugo-Slavian terms providing
like the others for paymtnt over a
long yeriod of years is expected to
go to the capitol with a request for
ratification at thi* session of con-
gress and to take its place theer im-
mediately behind the newly negoti-
ated agreement with France.
Under the settlement reached today
with Jugo-Slavia that country will
pay a total of $95177635 principal
and interest over a period of 62
years.
Payments will start at $200000 a
year for the first five years increas-
ing to $375000 which will be paid
annually for the last 50 years.
Interest charges will be dropped
for the first 12 years. Thereafter
they will begin at one-eighth of one
per cent for three years and then
increase gradually to 3 1-2 per cent
which will be rate during the last
27 years.
The American negotiators it wa3
said at the treasury took into ac-
count that Jugo-Slavia is one of the
poorest countries of Europe and
was overrun three times during the
war.

from the adverse decision of Federal
Judge Baltzell of Indiana in the

MEXICAN PUPILS
ACHIEVE HONOR
Four pupils from the interior of j
Mexico attending high school in San
Antonio have won distinctive honors
by being elected to membership in
the National Honor Society of the
Secondary Schools says a letter re-
ceived by A. C. Va.squez Mexican
consul here from A. P. Carrillo Mex-
ican consul general in San Antonio.
“These facts will prove to those
who opine wrong about Mexico and j
the Mexican people thatr mental de-
velopment is not the exclusive herit-
age of any particular race; it is the
matter of opportunity” says Senor
Carrillo.
The attention of Senor Carrillo
was called to the signal honor ac-
corded to the pupils by F. S. Eakeley
principal of Main Avenue High
School in a letter. Mr. Eakeley said
that the honor students were chosen
from only 14 per eent of the ochooi
