BYRD HINTS HE MAY DO BACK TO ANTARCTIC South Pole Hero Praised by Hoover, Given Medal " for Exploits. 'BITTEN BY POLAR BUG’ Need of Weather Stations for Forecasting Cited by Explorer. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, June 20.—‘Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd intimated a desire to return to the Antarctic continent when he came here today to receive from President Hoover a special gold medal of the National Geogrpahic Society for his south polar explorations. Discussing his expedition today after arrival from New York with his Antarctic party, Byrd said much remained to be done in the south polar area. He suggested it eventually would be necessary to establish weather stations there and perhaps airports to provide an aerial short-cut between the old word and the new. “Once you get the Antarctic bug, it is hard to get it out of your j system.’’ Byrd said he has claimed for the United States a vast area lying in the Ross quadrant east of the Ross sea beyond a small British claim known as King Edward VII land. The west shore of the Ross sea all is claimed by the British inland from 200 to 500 miles. Lauded by Hoover The climax of Byrd's daytime schedule here today was when he received the congratulations of President Hoover at the White House for his achievements. He arrived at the White House shortly before noon to receive a round of cheers from a crowd of nearly 2,000 people which waited outside the executive mansion when the cars carrying the explorer and his party drove up. Work was suspended in the executive offices and clerks gathered in the lobby to see. Byrd. At his entrance they applauded loudly, an unusual occurrence in a place usually given to solemn conferences on state matters. Byrd smiled shyly in acknowledging the greeting. After a few minutes with Mr. Hoover, the Byrd party went to the south grounds of the White House where they were photographed with the President. To Visit Bennett Grave During the afternoon Byrd was to visit the navy department and go to Arlington national cemetery to lay wreaths upon the graves of Floyd Bennett, his pilot in his North Pole flight, and Admirals Peary and Wilkes, Polar explorers. The admiral was insistant upon the importance of further development of the Antarctic. He rated geological work among the most important, explaining there are minerals of value in the scarcely explored regions. Byrd said the real value of the land discovered is undetermined, but there is no question it will be “enormous.” Geological exploration revealed -the area once was tropical, he said. Most valuable accomplishments of the expedition, in his opinion, were with regard to weather and the geological formation. Important for Forecast “The region around the pole supplies the most important weather forecasting data we have, he said. “It might be called the point pf origin for storms and blizzards. The data the weather man with our expedition gathered will be invaluable. The two from the United States weather bureau kept up their observations every night even when the temperature reached 70 degrees below zero.” “Sooner or later permanent weather stations must be established in the Antarctic if we are to have accurate forecastings.” Referring to the possibility of establishing a regular air route over the South Pole, the explorer intimated it is not imminent but it feasible. \ “Our radio experimenter-demon-strated the value of the shrrt wave for long distance sending,” he said. “Hansen, our radio man from the navy laboratory, use to go out five miles from camp with the thermometer at 60 below and make his observations. "There may be valuable mineral deposits in the mountain ranges which we discovered in Marie Byrd land. Further exploration will have to determine that.”

SILENT WE FACES ARREST IN TORCH CASE Continued Refusal to Talk May Result in Charge of Complicity. Bu Times Bnccial MOBILE, Ala., June 20.—With Mrs. Leah Schroeder, wife of Harold Herbert Schroeder, missing Mobile business man, under nev quizzing today regarding her knowledge of her husband’s disappearance and the Indianapolis torch murder of May 31, warrants for Schroeder’s arrest on arson charges have been asked of Indianapolis officials. Refusal of Mrs. Schroeder to answer questions will result in charges against her for alleged complicity in an insurance fraud ‘polt, Sheriff George Winkler of Indianapolis, declared today. Mrs. Schroeder declared to investigators she does not know her husband’s whereabouts, but refused to make the statement under oath when warned of the penalties of perjury, investigators declare. Faces Complicity Charge Her continued refusal to answer questions under oath will mean filing of the arson complicity charge against her, investigators warned her today. With this renewed questioning of Mrs. Schroeder scheduled for today, Sheriff Winkler, Deputy Sheriff Fred Fox, Detective John Stump and Deputy Prosecutor George Eggleston of Indianapolis, were hopeful clews they have will result in locating Schroeder. That the missing Mobile radiator dealer, who disappeared in Indianapolis the morning his car was found blazing on the High School road bearing a charred body of an unidentified man, is in the south, is the belief of officials here. “Herbert is not the type of man to remain a fugitive from justice,” Ernest W. Schroeder, Evanston, 111., brother of the missing man, declared to Sheriff Winkler and other investigators here today. The brother, coming here with Lynn S. Sams, Elkhart, Ind., brother-in-law of the missing man,, believes his brother will appear within a short time, he indicated to investigators. Theories that the charred body found in the car might be that of Anthony Janulewicz, 20, alias Anthony Yonnell, of Nanticoke, Pa., were upset today when a friend reported having received a postal card from Janulewicz from Nanticoke. The youth, employed at a parking lot here, left May 24 and had not been heard from until his friend received the postal. Early Arrest “Not Likely” Questioning of R. A. McMahon, foreman of Schroeder’s radiator shop, has linked him with gangs in Detroit, Sheriff Winkler declared today. Detroit authorities have been asked whether they have charges against McMahon. McMahon’s relations with Mrs. Schroeder were to come under scrutiny today. The foreman resides z the Schroeder home, and it was with him that Schroeder told Miss Gertrude Kittrell, Schroeder’s sweetheart, that the missing business man quarreled the night before he left Mobile for Indianapolis, the girl declares. “We are satisfied Mrs. Schroeder knew of her husband’s plans to disappear in such a way as to make possible collection of his insurance,” Sheriff Winkler declared today. “We also are satisfied she knows his present whereabouts.” A special investigator for an insurance company left Mobile early ! today, declaring he expected to I have Schroeder in custody within ; forty-eight hours. Sheriff Winkler I declared no information available |to the Indianapolis investigators I forecasts such an early arrest of the missing man. Warrants Are Sent Prosecuting Attorney Judson Stark today said he will forward to Deputy Prosecutor George Eggleston at Mobile, Ala., warrants charging Harold Herbert Schroeder, missing Mobile business man, with arson for burning of Schroeder’s car on the High School road near Indianapolis the morning of May 31.

NAB FUGITIVE FROM ASYLUM AS MAD KILLER Madman Puts Up Fierce Battle When Captured in Philadelphia. RAVES OF BLONDE GIRL Ordered Sent to New York for Questioning in Maniac Murders. Bit t'nited Press PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June 20. Joseph Clarke, 34-year-old escaped inmate of the Creedmore (N. Y.) hospital for the insane, was arrested here today and, after a brief hearing, ordered sent to New York as a suspect in the “maniac murders” of Queens, Long Island. He was traced through a letter which had been received some days ago by F. M. Clarke, 9321 Two hundred fifth street, Queens Village, Long Island. At almost the time Clarke was taken Into custody today John Mcszynski, brother of Joseph Moszynski, the first man murdered by the Queens mad man, received a special delivery letter at his home here, threatening him with death. While Clarke was in court here, word came that another suspect in the Queens murder cases had been arrested in Newark, N. J. He answered the description of an escaped inmate of the Kings Park hospital for the insane, New. York. Difference in Descriptions Clarke’s description differed considerably from that given by the girl companions, witnesses of both the Moszynski and Noel Sowley killings, the latter the second man killed by the Queens’ lunatic. He was about 5 feet 7 inches tall, which was the height given for the Sowley-Moszynski murder suspect, but was much heavier. Clarke weighed about 170, while the weight of the man sought had been estimated at about 140. Clarke is said to have escaped from the Creedmore hospital June 3. He told police he had been an inmate of the hospital sixteen years. His mother, Mrs. Louise Clarke, is said to live at 338 Forty-first street, "Brooklyn, N. Y. Letters Name Film Stars Officers found On Clarke a number of letters bearing some similarity to those figuring in the Queens murders. Going to his room they searched it and found more than 200 mimeographed letters,. all dated at Brooklyn, N. Y., and addressed to prominent persons. The letters were largely incoherent. They mentioned such people as Mae Murray, Gilda Gray, Earl Carroll, Helen Morgan, Ann Pennington, George Cohan, Fred Stone, Marlon Davies, Buster Collier, Will Rogers, Greta Garbo, Bessie Love, Rudy Vallee, George Olsen, Ted Lewis and Jack Johnson, the former heavyweight champion. Raves About Blonde Nurse

Other letters mentioned, or were to, inmates of the Creedmore hospital. A number of them mentioned the “blonde nurse” or the “big blonde nurse” as having a “strange influence” over him. Clarke mumbled of a “blonde nurse,” such as had been mentioned in the correspondence which the maniac carried on with the public through a New York newspaper after two killings had occurred in secluded parts of Queens. Among his effects were papers mentioning almost a score of prominent persons, a notable proportion of them blonde movie actresses. The special delivery letter to John Moszynski was much the same in tone as some of the maniac’s communications. It said that he was “next on the list” and ordered him leave the “valuable papers” in the lavatory of the Broad street station of the Pennsylvania station in Philadelphia or “death will follow.” Fights to Avoid Arrest The man who wrote to the New York Evening Journal of the killings was obsessed with the problem of recovering some valuable papers and apparently also was imbued with an idea of protecting womanhood. Clarke was arrested on Tenth street here by Philadelphia officers who had been assisted by police from New York in tracing him. “You won’t take me back,” he screamed as the officers seized him. He fought viciously and had to be overpowered. WHEAT JJOTTOM OUT Futures Off 3 Cents; Lows of 1914 Reached. Bu United Press CHICAGO, June 20.

Her life probably was saved when her daughter, Mrs. Catherine Hawk, who was spending the day with her, threw her mother to the floor and extinguished the flames with a blanket and quilt she snatched from a bed. The women were in the kitchen when Mrs. Shipp told her daughter she smelled smoke. They went to the second floor to investigate and found smoke seeping under the sill of the closet in the front room. As she opened the door Mrs. Shipp partly turned toward the door, the flames darting forth and igniting her dress. Mrs. Shipp screamed and attempted to run downstairs, but was halted by Mrs. Hawk. Firemen administered first aid and Mrs. Shipp was taken to city hospital, where attaches say her condition is critical. The fire spread through the room and to the roof of the house, causing damages totaling S6OO. Firemen said they learned Mrs. Shipp had been using matches in the closet a few minutes before the fire started, while searching for wearing apparel.

CHICAGO GANG BULLETS DEFY LAWCRUSADE Alky Ring Chief 'Taken for Ride’ as Cleanup Army Is Massed. FOUND DEAD IN AUTO Racketeer’s Body in Car Teetering on Edge of Pit of Water. Bit United Press CHICAGO, 'June 20.—Gangland gunmen took another of their enemies “for a ride’” today, while Iron Man John Alcock, new police commissioner, was organizing his forces for a major drive on crime. The victim was Lorenza Juliano, chief of a south side alcohol gang, who has troubled police for several years. His murder was the first in the metropolis since the assassination of Alfred J. Lingle, Chicago Tribune reporter, which resulted In an unprecedented public clamor, and the resignation of two police officials. Juliano’s body was found in a small sedan which teetered on the brink of a clay pit at One hundred twenty-third street and California avenue, not far from the scene of his operations. The gangster apparently had been killed elsewhere, the body wrapped in burlap, a sack drawn over the head and the whole bundle bound with wire. From marks along the pit bank police surmised that Juliano’s body had been placed at the wheel of the sedan, the car started in low gear and directed toward the clay pit that was filled with water.

Open Crime Clearing House The plans apparently went awry for the sedan stopped on the brink, when discovered by an employe of a plant nearby shortly before noon. Juliano’s record as a racketeer extends back to the time when the homes of Senator Charles S. Deneen and State’s Attorney John A. Swanson were bombed just before election. At that time a quantity of dynamite and materials for making bombs were found in Juliano’s home and he was held for some time as a suspect in the bombing, but eventually was freed. A central clearing house for the various investigations into the murder of Lingle was opened in the loop today. “Soft Jobs” Are Lost This is the first time any Chicago crime has been accorded such coordinated attention of the city’s law enforcement agencies. All clews to the crime and all reports of evidence, no matter how meager, are to be sent direct to the clearing house, whose telephone number was published today in all the newspapers. The bureau is in the Methodist Temple bu lding and is in charge of Charles Rathburn, the assistant state's attorney who has been assigned to the case. Witnesses to the murder will be brought to the clearing house instead of police stations for questioning by representatives of the police, state, county and federal men working on the case. Police officers by the hundreds were mustered out of “unnecessary” jobs in the detective bureau, put in uniform and sent to the front lines today in Chicago’s warfare against gangland. Go Back to Beats •As the drastic reorganization commands of Commissioner Alcock, new commissioner of police, were carried out. the detective bureau staff was reduced from 900 to 200 men. The 700 policemen affected by the cut were ordered to patrol beats in various sections of the city. In the offing was another huge shift in forces and the transfer of 1,500 plainclothes officers to patrol duty was expected to take place within the next few days. Alcock believes the only way of coping with crime and vice is to have uniformed policemen making the rounds. YOUTH CHARGED WITH ACCOSTING WOMEN Captured by Husband as He Allegedly Attempts Attack. Charges of assault and battery and disorderly conduct were filed today against Homer Hughs, 17, of 1244 North Illinois street, after it is alleged he and a companion, who fled, attempted to attack two women Thursday night.
