Miss Pope ' yesterday completed her testimony in ; V16 trial of William D. . Shepherd, charged with the murder of his foster Uon, McCintock by administering typ r hold germs. The letters were written -In 1924 while McCiintock was a stu dent at . Dartmouth college, and all '. were expresive of deep love for the girl who had promised to be his wife. One throws some light on the writer s ie'elings toward his foster parents, Mr. ' and Mrs. Shepherd. It was written in ; 1924 and reads in part: : ' '"'I haven't heard from the folks (the, Shepherds) In weeks. I suppose I. have committed pome .frightful bon ier or something." but really I can't , Tother to find out until they write.

J pther letters which Miss Pope wrote to -"Billy" were made public by the defense. One read in' part as follows: ""My Dearest: . Three one, two, three letters from : you , today.

All members of the Eighty-second Infantry brigade, Oregon National Guard, now In camp here, today enter ed upon the second period of training s',ectors assigned to duty here. Bocause of tne careful manner In which the propram of instruction was formulated, with recreation, rest and social features there has been a re marUaWo maintenance of morale in Camp Jackson.

Gavin, a British citizen and a motorcycle policeman for the Shang hai international settlement, was mobbed by Chinese here tonight. ' He was seriously hurt, but his injuries are not believed fatal. Gavin had just left the Harbin road police sub-station, at . the extreme northern boundary of the settlement when he encountered a throjig on the nearby East Hashing road, which is within the settlement boundaries. The Chinese were beiftg harangued by a student. . . ; . . The motorcycle policeman inter rupted the speaker and ordered the crowd to disperse. He was answered, with threats.-' ' , Gavin then ordered a Chinese con stable to return to the police sub station only a short distance away and obtain help. ' v When' the Chinese constables ar rived they found Gavin lying in the street diHarmod and his motorcycle gone. He was removed at once to a nearby hospital where an examina tion showed his skull fractured. The Gavin incident occurred about six o'clock.. Up to eleven o'clock to night there had been no oftier distur bances, f - . PEKING, Juno 17. (A..p) An other note emphasizing 4he gravity of the situation, caused by recent distur bances in China and calling upon the Chinese government to take measures was sent to the foreign office today by the Italian - ambassador, Signor Cerruti, representing also other mem bers of the foreign diplomatic corps, The note said; . . . "From all sides we are in-, formed of developing anti-foreign settlements and subversive con .duct which causes extreme ap prehension. "Wishing above all to dispel every cause which might result in impairing the cordial relations between China and foreign gov- -ernments,' my colleagues ' and I once moro' draw attention of the i Chinese government to tho grav ity of the situation." The note mentioned instances of unrest in China with danger to pro perty and lives of foreigners, It de tailed recent disturbances at Shang hai, Hankow and Kiu-Chlang. It said at Chin-Kiang the agitation had be come so intense that foreigners had been obliged to send their families to Shanghai. Wall Street Report NEW" YORK, June 17. The clos Ing was strong.

' The former secretary of state cited several dangers which he said face -the United States, the decline of pa triotism, .radicalism, racial and relig ious bigotry, over confidence arising from our wealth and strength? jLnj "the passion for uniformity," which threatens local self government. " Although, recognizing the existence of these forces of disintegration, Mr. Hughes said the standards of integ rity in business and political life are higher than ever, the press is' fair,' the people as bnavo as their Bunker Hill ancestors and interest in' impor tant social problems Is constantly , in creasing.
