Monday, March 21, 1938 Twelve The Capital Journal, Salem, Oregon Father of 12 Put to Death In Hot Chair Bellefonte, Pa., March 21 U.B Martin J. Sullivan, 72 years old, father of 13 children and grand father of 33, was put to death In the electric chair of Rockvlew peni tentiary today. He entered the execution cham ber on steady legs, his bald head gleaming, following Father F. P. McCreesh. The harsh light, as he sat In the chair, revealed watery eyes, dim med by age. and aged flesh hang ing In folds at the throat. He said no word except to give the responses to the priest's prayers. Sullivan was a policeman of Duquesne, a suburb of Pittsburgh. Persons who had known him for years said he always had been vain. As age crept up on him and be gan leaving its marks, Sullivan took certain remedial measures. First he began wearing a toupee. Later he took to rouging his cheeks, and In his last years of freedom he used lipstick. The time came when the fringe of his natural hair was so slight that it was not enough to hold a toupee In place, and he had to use a flesh-colored elastic band which was almost, but not quite, concealed by the loose flesh of his throat. School children called him the "funny comer policeman." It made him exceedingly angry for anyone to notice he was an old man pretending to be young. In the spring of 1836, the parents and relatives of Antoinette Vukel ja, 12, charged he had made a sex ual attack on her and had him ar rested. There ware court hearings at which the Vukeljas determined ly pressed their charges and Sulli van denied them. The night of December 17. 1936, Sullivan took his service revolver and went hunting for the witnesses who had testified against him. He killed Mrs. Mary VukeIJa, Antoin ette's mother, Milan, her brother, Mrs. Laura Bacon, a social work er, and Joseph Benda and his wife. Helen, parents of an 18 year old girl who kept house for Sullivan before the slaylngs. He tried to kUI Joseph Vakelja, Antoinette's lh er, but his bullets missed Vukelja's vital parts and he recovered. Taken to jail, Sullivan shouted "I'm satisfied, even If I did miss one." That night, police saved him from a mob.

College Quits Albany for Portland Portland, March 21 JIh Closely following the resignation of Dr, Thomas W. Bibb a president Sat urday, the board of trustees of Al bany College disclosed plans to close the college at Albany and transfer Its activities to the Portland branch after June 1, Founded as a Presbyterian school In 1867, the Albany Institution has moved steadily forward in the aca demic field. It received full a cere -dlatlon by the commission of the Northwest Asociation of Colleges and Secondary Schools and held membership in the Association of American Colleges and the North west Intercollegiate Athletic con ference. The Portland unit was established in 1934 as a two-year school and recently was placed on a four-year basis by action of the synod. "I have desired to be relieved of these responsibilities for some time," Dr. Bibb said in tendering his resignation, "and now that the trusteess have moved the college to Portland. I want to give them a free hand in their reorganization. I am thoroughly convinced that Oregon is due for a rapid increase In population, and the decision of synod of Oregon to rebuild in the center of population is right in line with the future needs of the state. As business and industry grow, edu cational Institutions will gain in strength, and it will be found that this field which now seems to many to be overcrowded, actually will be found to be inadequate to take care of the educational needs of the state." Dr. Bibb came to Oregon in 1929 from the University of Washington where he spent several years teach ing and conducting research in the fields of education. He did not an nounce his future plans. iii j ti "ii - tti MM MM S MM III AMJ U J 77 GLGEiTniG If nflCJGG 0 cr i CM.QQ THE UU$tWI-HotpMi'i new io)6 built - firthctnc rmttgt uttb stmt dmtt lighting, mahbtd ton dtmtnt ut, Stltd-A-Spttd Cshvd.

The work has many splendid qualities: It develops an art ap preciation In the individuals tak ing It; Is economical, and, for the house decoration viewpoint, it is within the reach of any purse. The camp library Is fast taking on the appearance of an art gallery as each boy, with pride, hangs up his work for exhibition. Forty thousand German and 3. 200 French to-'lsts visited Eweden last year, both nationalities showing a marked Increase over 1936. Dual Feature Program Found Excellent One A truly outstanding dual feature program Is the Elsinore theatre's current ottering to the cinema pub lic. With George Brent and Olivia de Havllland as its stars, "Cold Is Where You Find It." a thrilling melodrama of California in the 1870's, Is one of the outstanding hits. It Is a Warner Bros. -Cosmopolitan production In techlncolor and according to reports of those who have seen It. It Is one of the real ly best pictures of the season. "Gold Is Where You Find It deals with a phase of gold-seeking that has hitherto been untouched by the movies the hydraulic min ing whereby tremendously power ful streams of water ripped away hillsides, from the debris of which the miners sifted their metal. Supporting Brent and Miss de Havllland are Claude Rains, Mar garet Lindsay, John Litel, Marcla Ralston, Barton MacLane, Tim Holt (young son of the famous Jack). Sidney Toler, Henry O'Neill, Wil lie Best. Robert McWade, Harry Davenport, a score of others, plus thousands of extras. The second hit on the Elsinore's dual screen bill Is "Paradise For Three." a "ski's the limit" fun fest of a Jumbled vacation In the Alps. Prank Morgan. Robert Young. Mary Astor, Herman Blng, Edna Mae Oil- I ver, Reginald Owen and Florence Rice share comedy honors with loads of ski thrills thrown In for good measure. Physician Reverts .

The Human Side for 1937 r' WI WERE to let the figures above describe the Metropolitan's activities last year, the story would be far from complete for there is a human side of the ledger, too. Policyholders and beneficiaries received from Metro politan in 1937 almost $526,000,000-much of it in an hour of genuine need. Death claims were paid on 6, 1 07 policies in force less than three months, and on 18,562 policies in force less than one year dramatic proof of the value of life insurance. One could scarcely name a catastrophe which took human lives, in the United States or Canada, where funds provided by Metropolitan policies had not helped lighten the burden for afflicted families. Each day, visiting nurses representing the Metropoli tan ministered to persons in sured under Industrial In termediate, and Group poli cies who were in need of skilled cars. These nurses Metropolitan Life Insurance Company' 4 UDTUAL COM fA NY) SB made 3,766,240 calls during the year. Every half second during 1937, a Metropolitan book let, containing useful health information, was placed in somebody's hands. Each working day throughout the year, new Metro- pohtan investments went into communities in various parts of the United States and Canada. These invest ments helped to create a de mand for goods, aid realty Value, oivm .mnln..-... and serve other modem social and economic needs.
