SHOOTING IS STILL MYSTERY i -. ~ Woman Treated For Bullet Wounds Being Sought By Chicago Police Chicago, Nov. 7.—(U.R)—Mystery surrounding the shooting to death of Samuel Bauer, wealthy furrier, deepened today as .police sought Mrs. Vera Thompson, 24, a divorcee who received treatment for two bullet wounds, than disappeared, shortly after Bauer's body was I found. Dr. Andre L. Stapler told authorj it les that at 9 o'clock last night Mrs. Thompson went to his office and that he treated her for bullet wounds in her palm and hip. She disappeared, he said, after ehe | i overheard him call police and tell them she was there. Bauer’s body was found, slumped over the steering wheel of his auto, shortly after 8 o’clock. He had been shot through the head, ! the bullet entering Just behind his right ear. The rear window of the car had been shattered by a bul-I let. A revolver and four empty cartridges were found on the floor in the back of the car. The auto was in a densely settl. ed, fashionable residential district i only 30 blocks out of the loop and only a short distance from Mrs. I Thompson's house. George Soli, 12, and Irwin Ferdinand, 12, who live near where the car was found, told police they heard the shots and saw someone i run from the car. They thought I it was a man. Miss Margaret B. Martin, who lives in an apartment Just above I the scene of the shooting, also heard the shots. She said she ran to the window and saw two men run from the car. Police said it was possible Bauer had committed suicide. They said . ■he had a half emptied bottle of (whisky in his pocket. They discounted the suicide theory, how-, I ever. Bauer owned a furrier shop on State street. He wan 45, married i and the father of three children. ' A son, Hyman, 19, fainted when I . informed at midnight of his fath|er’s death. Mrs. Bauer became hysterical and was under a physician'* care. Convinced, they said, that Mrs. i Thompson had been with Bauer and been wounded at the same (time he was killed, police considi ered three theories: That Bauer shot Mrs. Thompson,, then comi Bitted suicide; that she killed him 'after he had wounded her; that I both were shot by some other perI son or persons, possibly a jealous suitor of Mrs. Thompson's.

ISLAND WHS HOME OF TWO j REAL ROBINSON CRUSOES Moiquito Indian and English Sailor Lived on Goat* and Ca&bag* Tree Fruit. New York. —A hundred nnd ten I leagues off Valparaiso, chile, Hoe j Mas-u-tlerra, a craggy nnd wooded Island from whose heights at least two veritable Robinson Cru»oes have start'd out nt sea. looking for Sail that would mean rescue. One us them was a Mosquito Indian, who the white men called will. The other was Alexander Selkirk, born nt Largo, a sen village In Fife. Will spent four years on the Island—a rocky reef , twelve nnd a half miles long and less than four ucross at its widest point—nnd Selkirk was marooned four months Inter. It>. . IflS-i- Captain William Dampier. an English navigator who was | voyaging around the world, landed tit Mas-a-tlerra and the Mosquito I Indian, Will, one of his men. was 1 left ashore when Spanish buccaneers chased his ship from Its anchorage. The abandoned Indian's sole sup- ! piles were a gun. a knife and a small horn of powder. He made a »nw by notching the knife, and sawed i Ids gun barrel Into pieces. With these he smithied a harpoon, lances, fish-hooks and another long knife. , Goat*, remaining on the island from an early colony that had not prospered, furnished both meat and clothing. Will remained in excelLlent hvaltli and spirits.. In the Golden Book Magazine, Wal- . t?r de la Mare tells that tlw> Indian made a great feast when Dampier came to redcue him four years ; later. “He killed three of his gonts and served tjiem up (English fashi Ion) with cabbage from the cabbage tree.” Selkirk wns marooned on the island through his own stubbornness. I The seventh son of a cofihlor. he I was cited for misbehavior In Kirk and ran away to sea at the age of nineteen. In I’o3 he shipped with Dampier as sailing master of the galley, the Cinque Ports. After a bitter altercation with Dampier, he suggested that he be put ashore alone on Mas-a-tierra. and Dampier graciously acceeded. i With him he look a sea-chest, | clothes, bedding, a firelock, a pound of gunpowder, a bag of bul- , lets, flint and steel, tobacco, a hatchet. a knife, a kettle, a Bible, I mathematical Instruments and several books of devotion. But despite these luxuries, he soon repented his bargain. For eight months he lived in melI ftneholy and horror. Day after day he stared at the sea. scarcely bothering to eat, or he roamed about, praying and weeping. Finally, however, lie became more composed, nnd set to work to better his lot. He built two huts, thatched them with grass and lined them With goatskins. He laid out a system of signal fires. Reading the Bible much, he became, he confessed later, a better Christian than lie ever had | been or ever was likely to be i again.

TARIFF WILL I BE REWRITTEN — Democrats Propose To Change Law As Soon As Power Shifts Washington, Nov. 7. —(U.R) —I •’Scientific'* revision of the Haw-ley-Smoot tariff hill will be the' keynote of the Democratic legle-' lative program if the party of Jefferson and Wilson assume control of the house next year tor the! first time since 1918, leaders of the j party indicated today. Liberal farm relief legislation! embodying the equalization fee or debenture also -will be a cardinal point in the Democratic program. Party leaders were not in agreement on just what form the proposed legislation should take. Some advocated a general revision of the Republican tariff law, while the majority, headed by Senator Harrison, Dem,, Miss., | who will be the ranking Demo-1 cratic member of the senate finance committee, proposed a' limited revision based upon recommendations of the tariff commission. Harrison's plan Is to carry out I the proposal advocated by his party when the Republican tariff was' being framed, of limiting congressional action to those rates on ■ which the tariff commission has acted, adn preventing log-rolling’ by consideration of one item at a time. Democratic leadership also is split on the question of farm re- ' lief. Some favor the equalization , fee which featured the twice I vetoed McNary-Haugen bill, while' others, probably the majority, urge the export debenture plan which was killed by the Republican house in 1929 and 1930. Democrats in both’houses are confident they can put through congress any program they decide upon in connection with the tariff I and farm relief, either through majorities or coalitions, though they are uncertain what President Hoover’s attitude will be. They declare, however, they will carry out what they consider their obligation to the voters by putting the measure up to the chief executive, for his approval or veto. Democratic leadership in the house would depose Speaker Nicholas Longworth, majority leader John W. Tilson and Chairman Bertram Snell of the rules committee from their positions of power. With Rep. John Garner, Dem.. Tex., as speaker, the Democrat organization would have either I Rep. Joseph W. Byrns, Tenn., or! Rep. Charles R. Crisp. Ga., as I majority leader. Byrns might L choose to confine himself to chair-1 man of the appropriations commit-
