KINDNB88E8 TO "POOR" RICH
WOMAN BRINGS FORTUNES
Now York. Sept. 2i?.?It's an (). Henry
story with a typical surprise wading?this
true-life tale of how a former
assistant thoator manager and a
ballot dancer wore kind to a lonely
woman and reaped an estimated
$1,000,000 reward
The woman waa Mth Edna Mores
Allln Kiiioti, hunter of film
houses who became known as "New
York's champion movie fan."
She passed on last Friday in her
three-story brownstone house in West
Eighty-eighth Street.
Her will disclosed she had left securities
and $80,000 In Jewels to Rosalie
Spatcher, ballet dancer, and the
residue to William J. Uelily, former
assistant manage!' Af the Roxy Theater.
They had "helped to make the
recent years of my life more pleas
ant," Mrs Klllott wrote in her will
Mr. Rellly said when he first met
Mrs. Klllott In 1927 he thought she
was poor?she wore old-fashioned
dresses with leg o* mutton sleeves ?
and arranged for her to have front
row seats every Thursday when the
theater changed its program. After
ward he would discuss the show with
her briefly.
The theatre closed temporarily in
1922 and Mr. Rellly lost his Job. He
never saw Mrs. Klllott again
She then began attending Radio
City Music Hall and during rehears
nls Miss Spatcher often walked ovet
to chat with the lonely old woman in
tho front row seat. She never knew
Mrs. Elliott's Identity or saw her out
side the theater.
It wasn't until yesterday that Mr
Rellly learned of his fortune. He said
he had dodged Mrs. Elliott's lawyei
for several days?thinking they were
trying to serve him with a summons
Hecause of the tense situation ex
lstlng In Europe last week, the sailing
of the White Star liner Aquatanla. sei

With military precision and wild acclaim
along the routes of the "bloodless

of the post-war republic and on a
fourth side another German armyi

As Von Bock's trim forces moved
into Zone No. 2. another force of
near &0.000 men completed Its occupation
of the No 1 zone, 1 f?0 miles
to the south oil the southern boundary
of Czechoslovakia. Occupation of
the No. 1 zone started shortly after
noon Saturday.
Beyond the eastern tip of Germany
a Polish army began its occupation
of Teschen Silesia, surrendered to
Poland by the Czechs under threat
of Invasion.
At precisely 1: .'10 p.m. (7:30 a.m.,
KDTl Von Bock gave the order to
advance to tits five columns which
had waited throughout the night and
morning within a stone's throw of
what was to become German soil

cord.
The five columns were spread along
the 43-mile strip of mountain studded
frontier and as the striped customs

Four Power Accord
Ends War Threat
Munich, Oeriuauy, Sept. 30.?Heads
i?f WoBtHin Europe's four major pow
ors early today signed an agreement
thoy believed would prevent a Kurppean
war by Mealing the fate of ('tech
Dblovakla.
Th# agreement reached by the
statesmen of Britain, France, Germany
and Italy, provided for gradual Qccu
pation of parte of Czechoslovakia's
Sudeten ureas starting Saturday?the
deudllne Adolf Hitler set for accept
ance In his ultimatum.
The No. I statesman of the four
powers?Prime Minlater Chamberlain,
of Britain, Premier Daladler, of
France; Chancellor Hitler, of Germany;
and Premier Mussolini?signed
the accord after hours of debating the
war threat for which most of Europe
wuh preparing.
Spokesmen said Czechoslovakia had
not accepted the plan. Vojlech Mast
ny, Czechoslovakia Minister to Berlin,
who came here at the suggestion of
the British, was closeted with Daladler
and Chamberlain earlier In the
day.
It was stated, however, Mastny hail
no power to accept for his govern
ment.
Daladler. returning to his hotel said
he and Chamberlain spent their time
explaining- to?Mastny why tluiy felt
ll necessary to accept the agreement.
An unimpeachable source said, however,
that the action of Britain and
France in making themselves "responsible
for the steps necessary" to
fulfill the agreement meant just this:
If the Czechoslovakia refuse to accept.
France cannot come to their aid
in case of an attack and Britain,
which Is pledged only to support
France, cannot be drawn in.
Additional provisions of the agreement
Include:
Evacuation of the Sudotetiland to(
be completed by October 10, without
damage to existing property there.
An international commission com
prising representatives of the four
powers, together with Czechoslovakia,
to lay down details of the evacuation
Plebiscites to be held in other areas
of Czechoslovakia having German pop
ulation.
The right of option granted for residents
to move into or out of the
ureas to be ceded to Germany.
The four powers decided on another
conference within three months to settle
the question of Hungarian and Polish
minorities in Czechoslovakia, If
agreement Is not reached between
these parties in the meantime
jPour zones of preponderantly German
population were marked for quick
occupation by German troops by October
10 and any remaining territory
with preponderantly German population
will be determined by the International
Commission for Occupation
also by that date.
The International Commission will
determine areas in which plebiscites
are to be held, and these areas, in
the meantime, are to be occupied by
international bodies
The plebiscites will be patterned
after that in the Saar region, which
was shifted from international control
back to Germany on January 19,
193.", The
commission will fix the date
for the plebiscites not later than the
end of November.
The agreement provides for the release
bv the Czechoslovakia government
within four weeks of all Sudeten
Germans from military and police
forces.
Sudeten political prisoners also are
to be liberated within that period.
Britain and France agreed to join
in an international guarantee ot iu
t'zechosloN akia boundaries as prove!
, (| f,)r in th" original AngloTrem h
partition plan.

Britain's Navy Head
Resigns Cabinet
London, Oct. L?Qreat Britain's out-J
ttlH>koii first lord of the admiralty resigned
suddenly today In "distrust" of
Prime Minister Neville ChamberIain's
now foreign policy.
Ills action was exported to give the,
lead to a growing number of rebellious
government supporters who share his
"distrust." ^ The
navy head, Conservative Alfred
Duff Cooper, told the prime minister
In hie letter pf resignation:
"1 profoundly distrust the foreign
policy which the present government
Is pursuing and seems likely to pursue
in the future."
The bluntly-worded resignation of
the 48-year-old Duff Cooper, an Oxford
graduate and decorated World war
veteran, came Just one day after
t'hamberlaln returned as a popular
hero from Munich, bearing an Anglo(lerman
anti war pact and a fourpower
agreement sacrificing Czechoslovakia
end what he called "peace
with honor."
Mobilization of Britain's mighty
fleet at the crucial moment by Duff
Cooper was reliably stated to have
had more effect on the war-intent niter
than Chamberlain's peace flights
STORM DAMAQE8 OLD
LANDMARKS tN CHARLESTON
Charleston, September 29.?A number
of old landmarks In this city
which advertises itself as America's
I most historic were damaged by the
tornado which hit here early today.
! Among the places damaged was
the Dock Street theatre, one of the
first play houses In America. A large
chimney was blown over on the roof,
and the skylight over the stage was
smashed.
| The theatre, built in 1736, was
j burned and rebuilt and finally went
'out of existence about 1780. On Its
site the old Planters Hotel was built j
j and the hotel and theatre were restored
last year by the WPA.
| The rebuilt theatre had its formal j
opening about a year ago and is now ,
used by a little theatre group.
The patio of the theatre was littered
with debris and two large
beams or rafters, apparently from
some nearby building, were blown
through a window of one of the
second floor apartment In the theatre
*butldlng. The beams stuck
out about fifteen feet and extended
far into the interior of the room.
Boughs and limbs of trees were!
strewn over St. Phillip's church-(
yard and a f?^w tombstones were
blown over. The tomb of John C.
Calhoun, South Carolina pre-Clvll
War statesman, was unscathed, although
a large limb was torn from
a tree standing over It.
The Trumbull portrait of Washington
in the City Hall was unharmed
although wreckage fell near
It.
In St. Michael's church, a group1
of communicants finished an early I
communion jtist before the storm
struck. ^
Heavy waterfront damage was I
reported to piers, docks and warehouses
and four or five buildings
owned by the Port L'tillties Commission
also were reported to have
suffered severely. j
Kvery tree in the City Hall Park
was either ripped up or stripped
of foliage and limbs by the wind.
The old City Market, built before
the Civil War, was almost completely
wrecked at the rear, which
faces on State street Other sections
of it had the roof taken away. Several
persons were killed at the market.
Slates were ripped from the roof
of the Miles Brewton. or Pringle
House, famed colonial show place on
lower King street.
The roof, turrets and cornice of
tlie First (Scotch) Presbyterian
Chun h w?Te badly damaged and the
interior suffered from rain.
The interior of St. Michael's
Church was badly damaged by rain.
Part of tli** roof of the old Timrod
Inn on Merlins: Street a half bleck
north of St Michael's collapsed and
fell through the top floor.
Parapets of the eight-story Peoples
Building on Broad Street were
badly ripped and there was a large
amount of glass damaged. The
building had to be closed.
None of the city's colleges and
schools. The Citadel, College of
Charleston and Ashley Hall were
touched. As far as could be learned,
no public schools were damaged. The
schools opened but the pupils were
dismissed early.

(By JERRY)
k >mk aMKaM&*K ^mc^momc >3
It wasn't a thing like we had expected
. . . no, air, everyone was lookin*
for the ktmeceol? from SuiuU*r.
to give the Hullodga some keet^^orapetition.
However, the Gold aiui Black
demonstrated to some 2.000 football
fans thai they have a team ifcftt can
really go places . . . overland ... . the
heavy dew made passing dangerous
arid Cox, West and the Lynch brothers
uncorked an offensive threat that was
something good to see.
9 V ?
Speaking of the fine way the Villepigue
system of the cut-back backflekl
shift worked agalust the Gamecocks
reminds us that one, Mr. Deling
Booth, of the Columbia Record also
had cause to raise his eyebrows at the
smoothness of the Bulldog machine . .
but what did the erstwhile Mr. Booth
have to say . . . well, briefly, lie saVs,
j "The old outmoded Percy Haughton
cut-back shift, which Coach Vlllepigue
dug out of the mothballs last year,
: etc." Perhaps we don't know as much
about football as this scribe, but if
that cut-back is anything but the Ville|
pigue system, signed, sealed and delivered.
then this column had better
end in its infancy . . . and perhups
several hundred college coaches
throughout the country had better go
smell a few mothballs . . . sour grapes,
Mr. Booth! j
* *
Another thing, while this fellow
used up half of his quarter column
story telling about the merits of
Sweatte and Bauman . . . who did
some really swell work for Sumter, j
to be sure . . . how about a couple of!
posies for the Camden lads. The Bulldog
forward wall did a swell job of
breaking up Sumter's conception of
the Notre Dame shift . . . several
plays were stopped behind the lineof
scrimmage, which is a mighty good
place to stop a fleet footed lad like
Bauman. West put on a splendid exhibition
of field generalship, mixing
them up beautifully until the Sumter
gang was in a tail-spin trying to stem
the tide . . . which. I might add. is
pretty good for an old out moded system
... or are we doing a bit of
sporting, as Tommy Akins might put
it?
And to Camden's flerv little left end,'
Hugh Cox, congratulations on a grand'
bit of broken field running when you
made that ninety-six yard touchdown
gallop . . . among other substantial
gains We'll bet that Coach Ville-'
pigue and the "brain trusters" were
plenty pleased with the way Red
Lynch reeled off the yardage last Friday
. ... "Five-yard" Lynch should be
a mighty valuable man* when" the Bulldogs
run into Charleston's Bantams
tonight ...
And a few words about this Charleston
cj-ew . . they look like a plenty
tough outfit again this year. In fact
Conch Ronbrook is boa-fine bis finestsquad
in several years They haven't
a particularly heavy team . goingI
Bin pounds in the line, with two tackles.
Wannamaker and Georgeo, accounting
for 10a and ' 197 pounds respectively,
and a backfield that averages
a little better than 149 . . . that's
?^?m
n<x bone-crushing backfleld, to be sure,
but they say that this lad Flash Milli
gan, who tips the scales at 137 and
plays halfback for tho Bantams, 1? u
plenty speedy customer.
Charleston's starting lineup will
probably see Vlck and Heidt at ends;
Wannamaker and Georgeo at tackles;
Bruggemann and Hutto at guards;
and Vann at center. The baokfleld
will be composed of Milllgan, Wise,
Stevens and Henry.
Which is just about enough about
Charleston, until we get a peek at
them in action out at Zemp field tonight
. . . and as long us this picking
a winner has become a habit, we're
going to string along with the Bulldogs
again ... if they put on their
usual brand of ball, two touchdowns
should be the victory margin. But
they'll have to fight and fight hard
for nil twelve of those points if advance
notices on the Seashore crew
are correct.
?
Minnesota must have had their feelings
hurt, by Nebraska last year when
they dropped the opener to the Husker
eleven, for Bernie Bierman's Gophers
certainly beat a rough tattoo when
they trounced thcTWesterners last Saturday
. . . Harvard must be green
with envy about Brown . . . Fordham
anVl Pitt did as expected, along with
a couple of powerhouse Southern Conference
elevens, Duke and North Carolina
. . . John Wickman, a little sixfoot-four
fellow from Fludlay, Ohio,
had to miss the first couple weeks of
freshman practice at Tulsa university
. . . seems he had to wait till they
built a couple of shoes to go around
his size 14 1-2 tootsies.
So, enough scribble for this week
and lets all get out to Zemp field tonight
to see the Bulldogs and Charleston
Bantams put op a battle that
promises to be one of the best of the
season. Win, lose or draw, you're
going to see a lot of fancy football out
on the local bailiwick tonight!
