BEAUTY GRILLED IN SEARCH FOR MISSINGWOMAN Adventurer’s ‘Wife’ Knows Fate of N. Y. Lawyer, Police Believe. By United Press VIENNA, June 19.—Police, by direct questions and casual, friendly conversation, sought today to trap Mile. Margaret Ferrand, beautiful French companion of Ivan Poderjay, Yugoslavian adventurer, into some admission that would disclose the fate of Agnes Tufverson, Detroit and New York lawyer. After seizing jewels, clothing and books that had belonged to Miss Tufverson, police were convinced that Mile. Ferrand and Poderjay could tell what happened to Miss Tufverson, who disappeared after a bigamous marriage to Poderjay in New York last December. Mile. Ferrand was arrested yesterday when a search of the apartment she shared with Poderjay disclosed a trunk full of clothes and other possessions of Miss Tufverson. Admits Clothing Is Lawyer's Mile. Ferrand at first claimed the articles. Then she said they were given to her by Poderjay, but that she did not know where he got them. Finally she admitted: “I knew the clothes belonged to Miss Tufverson but I believed Poderjay when he told me she gave them to him. I believe she is on a world tour.- I know nothing e£ Poderjay’s ‘marriage’ to Miss Tufverson in New York. He told me of a woman travel acquaintance who proposed a marriage of convenience to him. But he said he did not go through with it.” Denies Marrying Beauty In a hearing before a judge yesterday Poderjay recanted his story that he married Mile. Ferrand in London. He defied police to find a record of the marriage. It was his statement that he married Mile. Ferrand in 1933 that first enabled police to hold him on a technical charge of bigamy, as there was nothing else against him. The fact that New York records proved he went through a ceremony with Miss Tufverson was sufficient to permit his detention. New York Seeks Clews By United Press NEW YORK. June 19.—Convinced that Agnes Tufverson is dead, New York police today followed every minute clew which might aid Vienna authorities in their questioning of Ivan Poderjay, to whom she was married a few days before her mysterious disappearance last December.

Prone Pressure Method of Artificial Respiration; Developed From Years of Experience, Is Correct

Essential Point of System Is to Provide Forced Exhalation Followed by Passive Inspiration. This is the second of a series of five articles by Lewis C. Robbins, director of life saving and first aid at Camp Kosciusko, Winona lake, on treatment of drowning persons. BY LEWIS C. ROBBINS There is a correct way to do everything and in performance of artificial respiration it is important to follow the method developed from years of experience. The system called the “prone pressure method of artificial respiration” has been indorsed by the American Red Cross, the National Safety Council, the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery of the United States navy and many other organizations. The essential point in execution of the system is the compression of the lower ribs of the victim by the operator’s hands, then the sudden removal of all pressure. This gives a forced exhalation and what is called a passive inspiration. Speed Is Vital The victim should be hurried to the nearest clear spot and placed in the prone position, face down. If there is a slope, the head should be pointed down hill. This favors the drainage of water from the lungs and aids the blood circulation. Since speed is vital, if there are two persons, one should loosen clothing, especially at the neck, and remove impediments such as dirt nr loose false teeth from the mouth and throat. Probe as deeply as possible in the subject’s throat with the finger to clear away any impediments. However, if the teeth are tightly shut, waste no time in trying to open them but proceed with the artificial respiration. Nose Must Be Free A good way to realize the intense agony the body is experiencing from lack of air is to time yourself while holding the breath for one minute. In this short period, the eyes feel as though they were bursting and the whole system cries for air. What, then, must be the condition of the subject after five or ten minutes of asphyxia? So, for his life’s sake, begin immediately. The following, with a few modifications, is the standard procedure. First, place the patient on his stomach with one arm extended directly forward and the other bent at the elbow. The face should turn* outward and rest on the hand of! the bent arm so that the mouth and nose are free for breathing. Kneel Straddling Patient Second, kneel straddling one of the patient’s knees, best that one on the side to which the face is turned, and grip the knee and ankle with your knees and feet. Place the palms of the hands on the small of the back so that the heel of the hand rests in the depression between the last rib and the top of the hip bone. The fingers curve naturally around the sides, their tips just out of sight. The wrists should be about four inches apart. (See Figure 1.) Third, the cycle: With elbows straight swing forward slowly so that the weight of your body gradually is brought to bear on the patient. The shoulder should be directly above the heel of the hand so that the weight of your body is bearing on the patient. This takes two or three seconds. (See Figure 2.) Keep Repeating Cycle Fourth, now snap the wrists sideways, swinging back at the time to regain your balance. This “snapoff” employs the elastic rebound of the ribs to allow maximum inspiration. Fifth, for two seconds sit on the heels to allow air to enter the patient’s lungs as well as to rest yourself. Sixth, repeat the cycle, allowing from four to five seconds for each respiration, twelve to fifteen times a minute. Work in Easy Manner Remember, this is a shifting of weight and not a muscular exercise. The arms must not be bent and the body must swing forward slowly and evenly, or the operator will tire quickly. It is a common tendency to perform artificial respiration too fast, and the operator must remind himself constantly of this fact or the efficiency will be impaired. Next—The further treatment of asphyxia and the method of applying Iffeat. City Classes to Open Classes in prone resuscitation will be held at 8 tomorrow, Thursday and Friday nights under the auspices of the city recreation department and American Red Cross with Ted Wagner as chief instructor. The classes will be free and open to any one interested. Tomorrow night’s class will be in Ellenberger park with John Compton, head guard, assisting Mr. Wagner; Thursday night, Garfield park, Don Bauermeister; Friday night, White river at Twenty-sixth street, Earl Montgomery.

Democrats? —Talkative! That’s What the Little Lady Who Handled All those Phone Calls Has to Say About Them.

“On the first day of the Democratic gathering.” Mrs. Moore confides from the jungle of cables, wires and small flickering lights lurking behind a large “No Admittance” sign on the first floor of the hotel, “we handled the largest number of incoming and outgoing local and long distance calls in the hotel’s history. “Twelve hundred local and one hundred long-distance calls were put through the day before the convention was held; and, believe me, we had some time of it. It was a regular telephone traffic jam with everybody blowing his horn at the same time.” With just a hint of scorn in her voice, Mrs. Moore whispered that the best Republican talkers could not run up fore than eight hundred local calls the busiest day of the G. O. P. gathering. “Maybe they were too busy thinking about ‘Li’l’ Arthur Robinson,” it was suggested. “Well, I don’t see how he could keep anybody from talking,” Mrs. Moore replied. Mrs. Moore has heard almost every type of language over the wires, and, she intimates, it has been directed at her in many cases. Most people lose their tempers and use strong language, she said. But Mrs. Moore is hopeful, for she has noticed, in the last, six months that people are becoming more polite over the wire. “They don’t become so impatient when it takes a little time to get their number and they make frequent use of ‘please’ and ‘thank you,’ ” Mrs. Moore said. “I think,” she continued, “it must be because business is getting better and people are better humored as a result. I suppose you’ll want to know why I think business is better. Well, I know that my calls have increased during the last six months, so people must have something they want to talk about. I never heard of anybody calling when they didn't have the money.” Mrs. Moore said that the daily average at the hotel is now 200 local and from fifty to seventy-five long-distance calls. Mrs. Moore admits, not very enthusiastically, that there still are many practical jokers who call up for some such purpose as to ask if they have the right number, and then say “they thought so,” after their question is answered. “A lounger in the lobby once called a guest in the hotel,” Mrs. Moore relates, “and notified him that he had a telegram. The guest asked that it be sent up and hung up. I called him to notify him that the message he had received was false and then all he did was get angry and ask me how I knew.” Esthonian brides throw money on the fire when first entering their new homes.

SHIPSTEAD AND OLSON TRIUMPH IN MINNESOTA Farmer-Labor Leaders Lead • Rivals; Democratic Vote Heavy. By United Press ST. PAUL, June 19.—FarmerLabor party leadership of Governor Floyd B. Olson and the veteran Senator Henrik Shipstead apparently had won a striking vindication today as partial returns of yesterday’s primary election rolled up huge majorities for both. Mr. Shipstead, for twelve years the party’s lone exponent on the senate floor, led nose-punching Representative F. H. Shoemaker by a three to one majority. Returns from 918 precincts of the 3,695 in the state gave Mr. Shipstead 49.062 votes to Mr. Shoemaker’s 14.643. John Lind, only opponent of the progressive Olson, had but 5.816 votes to 85,732 for the governor. The number of Democratic votes in the counted precincts trailed only slightly behind the total of FarmerLabor ballots, an ominous portent for the progressive party if the Republicans and Democrats carry through a threat to combine this fall to unseat the Olson administration. Four of the eight Democratic candidates for Governor obviously were outdistanced. John E. Regan, Mankato attorney, led Fed Schilplin, St. Cloud publisher, 23,643 to 22,531. Martin a. Nelson, conventionindorsed Republican candidate, was certain of nomination with 36,984 —three times the combined vote of three opponents. Two Claim Governorship By United Press BISMARCK, N. D., June 19. North Dakota politics became as giddy as a whirling dervish today, with the state uncertain whether it had one Governor, two Governors, or none. Federal soldiers guarded a federal judge and deputy sheriffs patrolled entrances to the executive offices of the capitol, while Governor William H. Langer and LieutenantGovernor Ole Olson wrangled over rights to the gubernatorial office.

Langer replied with guns, ordering the sheriff of Burleigh county to admit no one to his capitol offices except persons carrying a personally signed invitation. At the same time he announced plans for a whirlwind finish to his campaign for renomination on the Republican ticket in the primary election next Tuesday. Langer and four political followers were found guilty of extorting political funds from federal relief employes.
