‘s2o a Mourn ’ Visitors to Grave Well Paid by Terms of Artist’s Will.

Bu l nited Press CHICAGO, June 18.—If geraniums could talk, perhaps those that bloom on the grave of Louis A. Thiel woulc; say today: “Os all things!” Seventy-six cheerful mourners visited the grave Tuesday. They stood around good-naturedly for a while, collected S2O each for their “trouble” and walked away without shedding a tear or adding a single flower to the bed of red geraniums The money paid the mourners came from a fund of $2,500 left by Thiel, a fresco artist, for that purpose. Before he died last February he invited members of his lodge and a group of his relatives to keep green his memory by visiting his grave on June 17 and Nov. 17 -ach year. He arranged that those who acepted the invitation should be paid. One of the mourners who appeared at Thiel's grave was William Zeuch. 85. who had been "too feeble to go anywhere, even lodge meetings.” “I never met Mr. Thiel- but my husband used to play cards with him,” jovially declared Mrs. Martha Maurer, another of those who came to collect. At the appointed hour of 3 p. m. the mourners marched by the grave two abreast and were paid off by lodge officials, who passed out $1,500 of Thiel’s "memory fund.”

PRICE-SLICING WAR MENACES TIRE HEALERS 2 to 14 Per Cent Slashes Place Retailers in Wobbly Spot. A tire price-cutting war, reducing prices from 24 to 14 per cent for Indianapolis motorists, is underway, a survey here disclosed today. Dealers said the price war, coupled with affects of the new tariff bill, will seriously jeopardize business, reacting unfavorably both to dealers and manufacturers. Decreases depend on the sizes and previous prices of the tires. Indianapolis distributers said the reductions are cutting into their profits seriously. During the last year there has been a mortality of 300 tire manufacturers with business at a low ebb and in foicing a reduction of prices it appears that the big manufacturers are attempting to force small independents to the wall,” declared W. J. Coughlin, owner of the General lire Agency here, which reduced prices from 5 to 7 per cent. Ordered by Manufacturers R. J Boesnecker, a Fisk Tire Company representative, who announced price reductions ranging from 3 to 14 per cent, declared the cut is being ordered by “big manufacturers to stifle competition.” Art Rose of the Miller Tire agency declared that never before in his twelve years of tire selling experience has the retailer been in so precarious a position. “The price cut was forced when a well-known mail order house announced it would pay the parcel post on all tires shipped,” Rose said. “Postage averaged 5 per cent of the cost of the tires and with the mail order house selling $46,000,000 worth of tires in 1929, it made a large item.” Tariff Danger Signal If something is not done to avert price cutting, the dealer simply will have to “give up in disgust,” Rose said. Rose pointed out the new tariff bill is expected to embarrass further tire manufacturers because of increased rates on long staple cotton imported from Egypt. “Eighty per cent of the cotton used in the high-grade tire is imported,’’ ho said. “With the increased tariff rates the cost of manufacture is expected to increase 20 per cent, yet there are price reductions.” The new lower tire prices will have the effect of weakening the organized system of service to the public, in the opinion of W. O. Rutherford, president of the Pennsylvania Rubber Company, an independent manufacturer who has issued a statement setting forth conditions. “Doomed to Disappointment'’ “Those within the industry who expected lower prices to stimulate tire buying, are, in my judgment, doomed to disappointment,” Rutherford’s statement declares. “Tire prices are extremely low, so low in fact, that the rubber industry is earning less than one per cent on its invested capital. New low prices practically annul what little chance the industry has to make even the vestige of a respectable showing in 1930. “At present there is no public demand for lower price, nor is there any public opinion that prices are too high. Consequently a reduction in prices will bring no rush of buyers into the market nor does there exist anew field to absorb the additional volume needed to enable the industry to earn an amount equal to that before the new price schedule became effective. Among the companies which have reduced prices are Goodyear. Ajax, General. Goodrich. Fisk and Miller. BOGUS BILLS PASSED $1 Currency Raised to SlO and S2O Denominaticns in City.

MANIAC SHOOTS 2; HIS GOAL 14 MORE MURDERS Announces Plans in Note to Paper; Victims Escorts of Pretty Girls. By United Press NEW YORK, June 18.—The entire strength of the metropolitan police was called upon today to find a maniac who considers it a moral obligation to kill fourteen people, in addition to two men already murdered. He has threatened, in a letter to a newspaper, to strike again tonight at College Point, unless he recovers some “important papers.” Noel Sowley, a 26-year-old radio salesman, who was shot to death as he sat in an automobile with a girl, is the latest victim of the man who refers to himself as “3-X, the man behind the gun.” Sowley’s body was discovered Tuesday in a sparsely settled section of Queens. On the lap of the dead man was a newspaper clipping describing the killing of Joseph Moynski, whose body was found a week ago in a parked automobile in Whitestone, Qutens. Pencils Grim Toast Tne murderer of Sowley had penciled this grim toast on the margin of the clipping: “Here’s how.” AIJ the elements that go to make up detective fiction were present in the murders that were so singularly similar. Besides the “missing papers” and the coded letters to the New Yvk Journal two beautiful girls are involved. They are Miss Catherine May and Miss Elizabeth Ring. The former was in Moyznski’s car when he was killed and the latter was Sowley’s companion. Detectives surmised the maniac also considered himself as an avenging force whose duty it was to kill the escorts of young women whenever he found a couple in a parked automobile. Credit Story Now For the first time since Miss May was arrested as a material witness and held in $50,000 bail, detectives place some credence today in her story of a fantastic man who shot down her escort. The account that Miss Ring told at the Jamaica police station was similar in almost every respect to that related by Miss May. Neither could furnish an adequate description of the killer. In both cases he had been extremely polite to the girls and even escorted Miss Ring to a bus station and told her to have no fear. Both girls were hysterical after the killings and could not calm themselves sufficiently to recall what the maniac looked like. Miss Ring said she and Sowley were sitting in the automobile when they saw a shadow behind the car. Suddenly a man appeared on the left side of the machine, calmly opened the door and fired twice at Sowley. The maniac stood silently for a moment until he was sure Sowley was dead. “Got Some Dose” Then, according to Misss Ring, he leaned over the body and whispered: “Now, you’ve got the same dose as the other fellow.” Police interpreted that as refering to Moyznski. Miss Ring told how the man went rapidly through Sowley’s pockets, seized a slip of paper and cried: “I have it!” ’He then tossed the newspaper clipping into the dead man’s lap and escorted Miss Ring to the bus station. today ordered all police leaves suspended, including those of high officials, and has put a patrol about the neighborhood where Sowley was killed.

NAB FUGITIVE IN RISING SUN PRISON BREAK Youth. 19, Charges Sheriff, Under Arrest, Drunk at Time of Escape. Suprised in an apartment in the Lexington flats, Capitol avenue and Eleventh street early today, one of two prisoners who escaped jail at Rising Sun, Ind., Sunday night was captured. The fugitive, Henry Shelton, 19, of 328 North Capitol avenue, admitted his identity as Jack Terrell, police said, and admitted he escaped jail at Rising Sun with Alex Getting, held there under the name of Ralph Moore. He made sensational charges against Sheriff Leon Neal at Rising Sun, declaring the sheriff's story of being menaced with revolvers is false and that the sheriff, Leon Neal, became intoxicated while in company of three friends of the two prisoners. Sheriff Is Arrested While police trapped Shelton here, Sheriff Neal of Ohio county was arrested at Greensburg, Ind., on charges of intoxication and of possession of liquor. He was arrested at a hotel, where he and a woman giving the name of Miss Minnie Kerrigan of Knoxville, Tenn., are alleged to have registered under the name of “Ralph Moore and wife.” The name is the same as that assumed by Geisting when he and Shelton were arrested in connection with a gun battle between hijackers near Rising Sun. Arrest of Shelton followed arrest here Tuesday afternoon of Mrs. Katherine Pope. 26, wife of Urban Pope, now serving a sentence in federal prison at Ft. Leavenworth, Kan., for violation of the liquor laws. She is alleged to be one of the plotters who carried out the jail delivery. Miss Zelma Tony Ross, sweetheart of Shelton, was arrested soon after the jail delivery as she boarded a train at Lawrenceburg, Ind. Two police squads, under leadership of Sergeants Leo Troutman and Joseph Gibbons, trapped Shelton in Apt. 48-B, Lexington flats, occupied by Miss Irene Ball, well known to police. Miss Ball was not at home. Bargains for Sweetheart Captured, Shelton began to bar*gain with police for release of his sweetheart, Tony Ross. “I won’t tell who the men were who helped free me unless they let Tony go,” he declared. He identified the fugitive Moore as Geisting. Geisting failed to appear in criminal court last week to answer charges of auto banditry. He was locked up at Rising Sun at the time under the name of Moore. Geisting is said to be wanted in Michigan as a fugitive on a SIO,OOO bond in a criminal case. He figured several years ago in a sensational case when he carried the dead body of a companion, shot by a policeman, in his car for some time before being found. Shelton denied force was used by his two male friends and a woman in gaining his release and that of Geisting. He declared the sheriff became intoxicated while with the three and that the men used the sheriff’s keys to get him, intoxicated, into the jail and to free the two prisoners. The sheriff’s wife was locked up by the two, Shelton declared. “The sheriff told the two men he always had plenty to drink at the jail,” Shelton declared.

MORROW, WET, NOMINATED IN SENATE RACE Piles Up Quarter-Million Lead Over Rivals in New Jersey. BY MORRIS DEHAVEN TRACY United Press Staff Correspondent NEWARK, N. J.,Junc 18.—Dwight W. lorrow, House of Morgan man who turned diplomat and then politician, stood nominated today as Republican United States senate candidate from New Jersey on a platform calling for repeal of the eighteenth amendment. He carried every county in the state. His victory over two strong New Jersey politicians and a third little known candidate was overwhelming. About noon today he had piled up a lead of more than a quarter million over his chief opponent, Representative Franklin W. Fort, dry and friend of President Hoover. 158 Districts Out With 158 districts missing, 129 of which are in Morrow’s heme county, the vote was: Morrow, 388,936; Fort, 111,467; Frelinghuysen, 44,147. Morrow's plurality over Fort, 277,469.9 John Kelly, wet, the fourth man in the race, had a mere handful of votes—perhaps a 2,000 total. Even before the tabulating was mere than fairly underway, Fort had conceded defeat and later he and Frelinghuysen wished the onetime Morgan man success in the elections where he will have as hi3 opponent a strong Democrat, Alexander Simpson, Hall-Mills prosecutor. The latter won in the Democratic primary without a contest. Morrow generally had been picked as favorite in the race, but even seasoned political experts were amazed at the strength he showed. His campaign manager, even, had predicted only a 150,000 margin. Viewed Clean Victory Wets hailed the victory as a clean cut victory for repeal, as this had been the chief point raised by Morrow in his campaign. Drys held anti-prohibition sentiment alone would not account for his heavy plurality, but insisted that his populartiy and the general public acceptance of him as a substantial and capable citizen had played a tremendous role. President Hoover—a friend of both Morrow and Fort—announced today that he would support Morrow. Morrow Strong Figure BY RAYMOND CLAPPER, United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, June 18.—A new national political figure rose up on the horizon today when Dwight W, Morrow won the New Jersey Republican senatorial primary by an overwhelming plurality exceeding 200,000 on the chief issue of repealing the prohibition amendment. Political Washington saw two points of national political importance in Morrow’s sweeping victory. First Morrow, by his personal prestige*and ability, conceded on every side, becomes the national leadei of the movement for repeal of the eighteenth amendment and return to the states of control of the liquor traffic. Presidential Possibility Second, the possibility that Morrow, with many points of availability in his favor, may become a Republican presidential possibility should the question of replacing President Hoover for a second term arise. Until now the anti-prohibition movement has been largely in the hands of extremists, some of them with little political acumen and none possessing any strong popular backing such as Morrow has commanded in New Jersey. Morrow, like Mr. Hoover, has been in business most of his life, and this was his first campaign for public office. Until three years ago he was a partner of J. P. Morgan. Like Mr. Hoover. Morrow represents the new type of public man, a product of the modern business world rather than the ward school of politics. Can Command Strength He could command the support of an influential element in business circles, and a large proportion of those opposed to prohibition, a combination that would make him a strong candidate in the large eastern states once Mr. Hoover was eliminated. The President has been unable to command enthusiastic support within the Republican organization, a factor which would weaken him in any fight for renomination. Reported Seized S, Ind..
