Judge Crater's Disappearance Nou Two-Year-Old Riddle ♦ ♦ * * * ♦ Though a Quarter of a Million Dollars Has Been Spent Searching for the Vanished Member of the New York Supreme Court Bench, the Mystery Still Baffles Police and His Friends.

New York, It is just two years! since Supreme Court Justice Joseph < Force Crater vanished —apparently into thin air. The square-chinned jurist's friends, the police and the newspapers have expended approximately j 1250,000 1 oking for him throughout Canada, the United States and Mex- ' ico. His picture has been broadcast | throughout the civilized world. A I hundred clues were run down, a thousand rumors were investigated. They all led down blind alleys. Todiy, thd strange case of Justice Carter remains an inigtna. How a man of his importance could disappear so u mpletely is a riddle that would baffle any S.ierlock Holmes. . As far as is known to the author

| ities, the last seen of Justice Carter was when he stepped into a taxicab on West Fortyfifth Street, New I York, on the evening of August 6, 1930. The cab and driver have never been located. The jurist might have ■ fallen down a bi ttomless pit as far as the world is concerned. Carter left behind him a wife Stella M. Carter, about $50,000 in cash and money due, a $25,000 a i year position on the bench and no telltale reason for his vanishing or committing suicide. The judge should have been easy to identify. He was six fee’ tall, , weighed 185 pounds. He had an unusually 1 ng neck, abnormal really, which nec s.-itatecj ris wearing high 'and close-fitting collars, size 11 His head was very small for a man of his stature, he wore a 6- size hat. i Judge Cart, r was a Tammany man. Only a few months before he i dropped completely out of s.ght he had be n appointed to the Supreme 1 Court Bench by Governor Franklin 1). R osevelt. The post had been 'awarded him on the ! tion of U. S. Senator Robert F. Wagner, in whose office he had previously practiced liw. H? expected the nomination for I the full term of 14 years. Until Aug- ! ust 2, 1930 he had been vacationI ing with his wife at Belgrade Lake Main ■, where they had maintained a summer home f r fifteen years, i Then he had been called back to N w York on important political I business. I Four days later he was tearing . up papers in his office and 'putting ' others into a brief case. He sent ; out his personal attendant, Jolt i i Mara, s n of a local Democratic i leader, to cash two checks totalling | $5,100. Mara accompanied the jurist 1 to the latter's home on Fiftn Ave- | nue and carried four cardboard I files and the brief cases to the : house. That was the last Mara ever i saw of him. ; Judge Carter purchased a ticke* | that evening to a musical sir w, I din d with some people in the theat-1 I ricitl business. He got into a taxiI cab, waved to his friends. It is not known whether he attended the I show. It was not until weeks later that i the world h’ard that Justice Carter ; had disappeared. A police detective 'and private friend of the jurist's i had made a secret and fruitless ; search for him. Not until the f Rowing January . did Mrs. Carter r-turn to New York. I Then she told the police she had I fsund a letter fronj her husband in . a drawer. This directed her to pay , certain debts.,, There were also | found life insurance policies and I over $6,000 in cash. But police detectives had search- ' ed file h use months before and ' found nothing. There was “anoth r I woman” ( angle to the case. Investii gators learned that Carter had been ■ very friendly with Fifth Avenue i clothing saleswoman named Connie I Marcus but the friendship, it was ; believer, bad nothing to do witn his disappearance.

GRANDMOTHER IS PAINTER PARIS (U.R) — With only throe! years difference between her,, eldest granddaughter and her youngest son. Mrs. .lane Gallatin Powers, of San Eruncisco. Cal., is con-j. vinced that there Is no such thing as "getting old.” "How can you," she asked.: "when your own children and grandchildren accept you as one of them and refuse to let you even get as old as they are?" Not only is Mrs. Powers the mother of four amt the grandmother of four, but an artist of Paris Salon recognition. She has developed a completely new portrait background technique of a De Vinci inspiration, which gives a sttiking individuality to the canvas without detracting in any way from the importance of the portrait itself. Her effects of reflected and detracted light are modern-' istic without the disfiguring qualities of many of the modern schools. She has exhibited at the I'Oauvre Unique and the Spring Salon, and is a member of l*es In-' dependents. Perhaps her two best works for the present are "Franco," her youngest grandson, and "Un Ullvo," a landscape, both of which are exhibited in the Salon des Tuillerles. Mrs. Powers studied and worked in Paris with Andre I'Hote and spends most of her time between I the French capital and Italy, l where her daughter. Signora Marian Dusmet de Smours, wife of Marino, Governor of Capri, is a prominent figure in Italian society. ■ —0 — HOOVER TAKES DRY SLANT IN ACCEPTANCE CONTINUED FROM PAGE? ONE ing.
