ASSUMED NAME USED BY GOP SLAINBYNURSE Confusing Revelations of Past Life of Couple Hinder Probe. By United Press DENVER, Nov. 30.—Confusing relations of the past lives of Farice King, nurse, and her slain policeman lover, Robert K. Evans, hindered authorities today in the investigation of Denver’s hospital tragedy. In a ward not far from the hospital room where Wednesday she shot and killed Evans, Miss King rallied slowly today from the shock of a bullet wound, a bullet which she intended to take her life. A rib deflected the bullet Miss King fired into her breast after killing Evans as he lay sleeping, recovering from a gunshot wound. Miss King will recover, physicians say, and authorities are prepared to charge her with murder. Under Assumed Name Authorities revealed today that Evans, who left a young widow to mourn his death, had been living under an assumed name for fifteen years, since he left Gilman, la., \frhere he was known as J. C. Bodzine. Officials said Bodzine’s eldest son, Marion, 20, told Des Moines (la.) police that the slain policeman was his father. According to Marion, his father and mother separated fifteen years ago, the father coming to Denver, leaving his wife and two sons, Marion and Carl, now 18, in lowa. When the World war broke out, Evans or Bodzine, enlisted in the United States navy as a mechanic. Calls Himself “Daddy.” During his service in San Diego and San Francisco, Evans wrote many letters to Miss King telling her of his great love for her, and often referring to himself as “Daddy.” Evans, in the letters spoke frequently of “our daughter,” a child bom to Miss King when she was the wife of B. C. Hiner. The child died while still a baby. Miss King was married to Hiner in 1910 and divorced two years later. A fleet of flying boats, constructed entirely of metal and each containing bunks for a crew of five, is nearing completion in a Yorkshire (England) factory.

CONGRESS TO PONDER RAIL MERGERPLANS Proposals of Eight Years Ago Again to Be Foremost Legislation Issue. QY CECIL OWEN (United Press Staff Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.—Consol-, idation of the Nation’s railway systems, as proposed about eight years ago, promises again to be one or the foremost problems before congress. The Parker bill, making it possible for railroads to form a general merger program for submission to the interstate commerce commission is on the house legislative calendar for this session. Extensive hearings were held last winter and the bill was reported out by the committee. A similar senate bill by Senator Fess, (Rep.) Ohio, still is in committee, but hearings are expected to be concluded at this session. Until either the Parker or Fess bill has passed congress, all final consolidation moves on a national scale are in abeyance. The transportation act of 1920 authorized the interstate commerce commission, official regulator of railroad rates and operation, to draft a general merger plan to which individual plans submitted by the railroads must conform. The commission never has promulgated a final plan, though in 1921, it issued a tentative merger program drafted by Professor W. Z. Ripley, Harvard transportation specialist. In its last two annual reports, the commission has asked congress to relieve it of the burden of drafting a general consolidation program. It prefers to pass on proposals submitted by the roads rather than force its own plan on the carriers. The commission's forthcoming annual report is expected to repeat its two previous recommendations to this effect. Observers have interpreted some of the commission's recent decisions as displaying a tendency to rebuke the large trunk lines for not reconciling their differences over the decision of minor roads. The whole merger program is understood to be at a standstill because of the reported inability of the important eastern carriers to agree on disposition of smaller lines
