STATE WILL RELIEVE
VILLAGE STRICKEN BY
DEMENTED MAN'S ACT
DYNAMITING OF SCHOOL BRINGS
DEATH TO 37 CHILDREN
AND SEVEN ADULTS
GOVERNOR CALLS FOR AID
Green Says Funds Will Be Taken
Fronu State Coffers If Volunteer
Help Is Insuffieient
(By Associated Press)
BATTJ, May 19. The state of -Mich-
igan today tooksteps for the relief of
this stricken village, into whose
homes a maniac farmer sent death
and desolation by dynamiting and
blowing to death more than two score
persons. Of the 44'dead tonight, 37
were small children, pupils in the low-
er grades of the school.
Andrew Kehoe, 45 year old treasurer
of the school district-his mind de-
ranged by financial reverses-alone
conceived and executed the dynamit-
ing, in the opinion of investigating of-
ficers. They abandoned an earlier
theory that he had outside help in
planting dynamite in the building and
wiring it to set off the blast.
The little village of 300 persons, in
the heart of Michigan's agricultural
district, is virtually bankrupt as a re-
sult of yesterday's catastrophe. It
was this situation thatprompted Gov.
Fred W. Green today to issue a pro-
clamation calling for state-wide aid
in providing financial relief to Bath's
stricken citizens and make possible
the rebuilding of the school. The vil-
lage itself is unable to rebuild the
school. Governor Green announced
funds would be taken from the state
c ffers for the purpose, if voluntary
aid from Michigan's citizenry proved
insufficient.
"It is hardly possible," the governor
said, "to imagine a more terrible
catastrophe than yesterday's at Bath."
Governor Visits Bath -
He followed his proclamation with
the announcement that he personally
would defray the funeral expenses for
those of the victims whose families
were unable to do sc. The governor
was at the scene of the disaster yes-
terday and saw the blast in all its
horror.
Bath tonight remembered that to-
day was to have been the date of the
annual school picnic. Nightfall saw
unhappy groups of children returning
from a day of play, nearly a score of
homes observed the hush of death
with funeral wreaths on the doors.
Here and there on a street corner
stood groups of two or three dis-
cussing in low voices what might have
been and what is.
The recent illness of Mrs. Kehoe,
worries over financial reverses, brood-
ing over what is considered exces-
sive school taxes and two serious
accidents within' the last eight years,
were advanced today as contributing
causes of Kehoe's mental aberration.
)Iortgiage Deranges Mentality r
Foreclosure of a mortgage on his
farm is believed to have been the
incident that snapped his reason.
The townspeople tonight had
abandoned plans for a group funeral
for the victims of the blast. The de-
cision was made in the belief that
the scant comfort of individaul burial
ceremonies would serve in a measure
to ease the sorrow of'- parents and
relatives. Plans will be made for a
number of funeral services tomor-
row and Saturday. Each family will
bear its own dead to the grave. 1
The scene of the disaster was
thronged with astounded visitors to-
day. .They viewed the wreckage of
the schoolhouse and paced back and
forth through the peaceful unpaved
village streets, abashed in the pres-
ence of an almost unbelievable crime.
Behind the protecting walls of village
and farm hom'es sat the parents and
brothers and sisters of those who lost
their lives.

DR, K RUYT WILL GIV
CHEISTRYLECTURES,
Professor At Unversity Of Utreht
To Speak On Colloids Next
Week, May 23. 24, 25
SUBJECTS ARE ANNOUNCED
"The Trend of Thought in Modern
Colloid Chemistry" will be the main
topic of a series of three lectures by
Dr. I. R. Kruyt, Professor of physical
chemistry at the University of Ut-
recht, H-olland, next week, Monday,I
Tuesday and Wednesday, May 23, 24,
and 25. The lectures will be given
at 4:15 o'clock in the Chemical am-
phitheatre in the Chemistry building.
.The lecture Monday will deal withj
"The Special Character of Colloid
Problems." A comparison will be i
made between true and colloidal so-
lutions insofar as such factors as
stability, stoicheometry, inetics and
thermodynamics, are conprned. The'
importance of surface phenomena will
be emphasized and discussed.
Odi Tuesday, "Colloids and Electric
Phenomena" is the head under which
the topic will be discussed. It will
be pointed out that many of the prin-
ciples of classical electrochemistry
are not applicable to colloid systems.
A comparison will becmade between
galvanic and electrokinetic potentials.
The relationship of electrical charge
to the stability of colloid systems will
be discussed.
Wednesday, Dr. Kruyt will speak on
the phase of "Colloids and Hydra-
tion." At the present time the nature
of the reactions of protein solutions
is a controversial subject. Arguments
will be presented to a substantiate the
view that the reactions of these solu-
tions cannot be treated according to
stoicheiometry and the classical the-
ory, but that instead the behavior is
in accord with the electrokientic the-
ory and the theory of surface phe-
nomena.
In this series of lectures, Professor
Kruyt will attempt to make clear the
autonomous character of colloid
science.
He is to be the principal speaker
at the Fifth National symposium held
under the joint auspices of the col-
loid division of the American Chemi-
cal Society and the colloid committee
of the National Research council. The
symposium will meet in Ann Arbor
,June 22, 23, and 24. Last year the
!symposium was held at the Massa-
chusetts Intitute of Technology, in
'Cambridge.
Dr. Kruyt is spending the inter-
vening time lecturing at various)
I American universities such as John
Hopkins, Cornell, and the Massa-
f chusetts Institute of Technology. This)
week he is lecturing at Wisconsin,
Minnesota, and Iowa.
ECONOMIC HEADS)
SEEK RECOGNITION
OF SOVIET RUSSIA
(By Asocatd1Pres)
GENEVA, May 19- T hesleaders in
the International Economic conference
are seeking ways and means to satis-
fy the Soviet demands for recognition,
not of the worthiness of its regime,
btrecognition of the fact that the
Communistic system exists in Russia
and that a Soviet regime can work
along with a capitalistic system.
The Soviet delegates had served no- I
tice today that they would leave Ge-
neva unless their demands were met
by evening, but tonight they talked
less briskly of withdrawing. A gen-
uine problem. however,-remains to find,
a formula which will satisfy the fol-
lowers of Lenine.
One view is that the western lead-
ers might agree to the insertion of a
clause in some resolution that the Rus-
sian system does differ from the ec-
the Atchafalaya basin to the Gulf ofr
Mexico was deemed so great tonight
that the weather bureau at New Or-I
leans issued a warning to the inhab- I
itants of St. Martinsville that the lake
Iwould probably enter that town be-
tween May 25 and 30. St. Martinsville
previously had been regarded as safe
from the flood.I
The outflow from the crevasses
along the Bayou DesGlaises and at
Melvillex on the Atchafalaya was esti-
mated at 500,000 cubic feet of water
a second, which, the weather bureau
said, would carry an average depth of
eight feet above the rails of the South-
ern Pacific branch line between the
Lafayette highlands and the Atchafal-
aya river, and overflow the lowland be-
hind the Bayou Teches down to and
around St. Martinsville.j
Already the flood had spread far)
down the valley from the crevasses
which are between 130 and 170 miles
northeast of New Orleans and on the
opposite side of the Mississippi. The
spread has carried backwaters into
Iberville parish. Port Barre, Corta- -
bleau and a dozen smaller towns in)
Avoyales and St. Landry parishes al-
ready have disappeared and the sweep
was carying the flood southward in
St. Martin's parish.
Thousands Leave Home
Thousands already have evacuated
their homes, but many clung to their
little farms until water drove them
from their fields where they had been
working. Refugee camps at Lafayette
Marksville, Alexandria and Mansura
were crowded. So densely were some
of them packed that it became neces-
sary to open another at Eunice and a
thousand refugees have been taken
there today.
Motor boats, trucks, and special
trains continued their work of rescue.
boats being used in the upper Atcha-
falaya basin and trucks aiding in the
evacuation of the lower valley. Each
returning fleet of trucks, however,
told of residents who refused to de-
sert their homes in spite of the ur-
gent warning.
Hundreds have remained until the
waters rose above them, driving them
to the roofs from which they had to be
removed by boats. Many refused to
leave even after the waters had left
them located on levees or on high
spots, preparing to remain in the vi-
cinity of their homes rather than take
up quarters in refugee camps.
1) iscontht e Trai, Service
Two hundred persons remained on
the levee at Melville refusing to leave.
Arrangements were made by the Red
Cross to send them food regularly.
The Texas and Pacific railroad found
it necessary to discontinue all train
service across the flood-torn area
today, running only local trains from
New Orleans to Red Cross, Louisiana,'
on the edge of the lake. On the other
side of the flooded section, their trains
wil operate from Fort Worth to Bunke.
Along the main Mississippi a slight
Edecline was noted. The fights at La-
Crae and Belle Helene were 'continued
by hundreds of workers as the en-
bankments began to crumble. At most
points, however, the levees were re-
ported in better condition tonight.
