Six Get Death
For One Murder
I New York, May 12.—Six men, the
largest number ever sentenced to
die for a single crime in New York
state, were sentenced to the elec-
tric chair Monday by County Judge
Peter J. Brancato and hurried to
Sing Sing prison.
They were convicted of the mur-
der of Edwin Esposito, 22-year-o’ld
subway company messenger, shortly
before Esposito was to be married,
last' September. He resisted when
they attempted to rob him of $250.
Judge Brancato set the week of
June 22 for execution, but an ap-
peal probably will delay it until
autumn.

On Monday night, May 11, the
primary and intermediate teachers
of Telico school presented a pro-
gram to a large and appreciative
audience. The program had been
announced for Friday night, May
8, but had been postponed because
Off rain. Johnny Valek and the
Strunce Brothers furnished music
of excellent quality end abundant
quantity.
For the past several years it has
been a custom of the graduating
classes, seventh grade, and high
School, to participate in the coun-
ty graduating exercises held at
Waxahachie. As the county pro-
gram is arranged for seventh grade
graduates only this year and as we
are not willing to see our high
school graduates leave our insti-
tution without public recognition,
of their achievements, we have de-
cided to have a graduating exercise
at home. This exercise will be
held on Thursday night, May 21.
An interesting program is being
arranged and the public is cordial-
ly invited to attend. i
On Friday night, May 22, a play
will be presented by the high
school pupils entitled, “The Hob-
gobblin House.” If you have steady
nerves and enjoy thrills and ex-
citement, come out. We assure you
a full evening of delightful enter-
tainment with plenty of good
music.

A barrage of questions was laid
down for Germany to clarify be-
fore Britain considers that nego-
tiations for treaties can open, a
government white paper disclosed.
Chief questions asked Germany
included:
Whether German regards itself
in a position to conclude genuine
treaties.
France Not Satisfied1.
Whether the point has been
reached where Germany can signify
it recognizes and intends to respect
the existing territorial and politi-
cal status of Europe. In other
words, said authoritative sources,
has Germany’s craving for equality
been satisfied,
Whether Germany’s proposals for
nonaggression pacts can cover at
least Rusisa, Latvia, and Estonia,
in addition to Germany’s immedi-
ate neighbors.
Whether the proposed nonaggres-
sion pacts between Germany and ,
others, say its southeastern and
northeastern frontiers, may be
guaranteed by mutual assistance ar
rangements.
Whether Germany is still prepar-
pared to agree to an international
arrangement to prevent noninter-
I ference in the affairs of other
) states.
A Paris dispatch said French
officials found little satisfaction in
Britain’s questionnaire. Unofficial
sources called it vague.

Callander, Ontario, May 12.—Tire ,
Keys quaarupiets from Waco, Tex- 1
as, presented the Dionne quintup- |
lets of Callander, Ontario, Monday
with four-year scholarships at Bay- ,
lor University, which they attend.
The pretty Oklahoma girls, on an 1
international visit to the quintup-
lets in the interests 'of the Texas
Centennial, said Baylor authorities
were arranging that the quintuplets
have the same rooms the quadrup-
lets occupy should they decide to
accept the scholarships—some fif-
teen years hence.
Marie Dionne had a black eye
and it rained Monday, but neither
fact spoiled the visit of the Keys
to the Dionnes.
The black eye was the result of
a disagreement the smallest of the
quints had with a door a few days
ago.
The rain had no effect on the
enthusiasm of the 20-year-old
quads for quintuplets and Northern
Ontario scenery. They spent the
morning watching the youngsters
at play and the afternoon fishing
at Lake Champlain near here. They
got two fish, but no one could
figure just whose they were. It
seemed there was a bit of snarling
in the lines and all four quads
claimed a trout.
Leota, Mona, Mary and Roberta
Keys brought the quints dolls, poke
bonnets, dresses of the same shade
of blue as bluebonnets, Texas state
flower, sombreros and serapes—
' Mexican blankets from San An-
tonio.
They watched the quints through
a plate glass for an hour and saw
, them dance and throw kisses back.
Tia yuan Fu, Shansi Province,
China, May 9.—National army fliers
reported they killed approximately
1,000 Chinese Communists with
bombs Friday afternoon.
Provincial military authorities
said the bombing planes had dealt
a crushing blow to Communist
trcops in Western Shansi.
The fliers dived against the red
forces repeatedly, dropping a large
quantity of explosives into the
ranks below.
Following the air attack, military
authorities s'aid infantry was mov-
ing against the Communists with
the support of the airplanes. The
I Red were said to be fleeing into
Northern Shansi Province.
Announcing that at the end of
March, 1,485,822 persons were en-
rolled under 43,051 teachers, Hop-
kins added:
“There has been no thought, of
course, of supplanting the regular
school facilities, but there has' been
a wholesome broadening of the
scope of this work, which has been
eagerly received by adult unem-
ployed and by teachers who were
without professional opportunity,
as well as by leading educators
throughout the ocuntry who have
come to appreciate the signifi-
cance of adult education.”
The program which is in addi-
tion to the part time jobs provided
students by the $50,000,000 national
youth administration, furnished in-
struction at “emergency colleges”
for 8,122 young men and women
and correspondence courses for 16,-
703.
Other types of instruction were:
General adult education, 744,638;
literacy, 251,476; parent training,
89,669; nursery schools, 55,111;
workers’ education, 53,508.
ton reiterated a statement; “I
wouldn’t co-operate with any de-
partment that was corrupt, ineffici-
ent or publicity mad.”
Informed of Hoover’s statement,
Allen replied he was interested only
in knowing whether federal men
had evidence of laxity in his de-
partment.
