Decoyed by Advertisements,
Robbed. Then Murdered.

Budapest, May 12.-Further official

shows that the man made a practice
for years OF decoying women by mar
riage advertisements, securing their
money on marriage promises and then
numbering them.
The police have record OF eighteen
women with whom Kiss was at various
times associated. Eight have long
been reported missing, while the ten
others have not yet been found. In
the house he had occupied were dis
covered packages of love letters from
all parts of the world, including the

Three contained the bodies of strangled
women, while in the fourth were seven
women's dresses. One was identified
as belonging 20 young woman who
had been missing for ten years.
There appears TO be no doubt that
Kiss died at Naljevo. Serbia, as previ-
ously reported. Although he rarely
worked, he spent money so generously
that he was known generally as The

SIX-HOUR DAY,
FORD'S NEW PLAN
Minimum Wage of ST an
Hour in Auto Plants, Part
of Reported Scheme.
lBy Telegraph u ne Tribunal

Detroit, May IA six-hour day for
all workers in the Ford plants, and a
minimum wage Of 81 an hour, is re-
ported TO be the latest plan Of Henry
Ford for bettering the conditions Of
his employees.
The report persists here, despite Tie
feeble denial Of F. II. Kingsmith, vice
president of the Ford Motor Company.
Those conversant with Ford affairs say
that q six-hour day and q minimum o.
81 an hour is very likely, but that the
innovation will not be put into effect
Immediately.
That this was the plan Of Mr.. Ford
was announced by several Of his inti-
mates soon after the recent announce
ment that he contemplated starting
work on his new tractor factory and
would employ 10000 additional men.
The announcement and report have
led to the filing Of $4,000 applications
for employment with the Ford Employ
ment Bureau here. Thousands Of let
ters are received daily addressed per-
sonslly to Mr. Ford. These are all scs
knowledged by mis- secretary.
Inscriptions fy-by-night real estate
dealers are circulating false rumors to
lure the unwary TO this city. One Of
their latest canards is that Mr.. Ford
will issue stock in his company to en-
ployes who have been with him ten
years or more.
Mr.. Ford, in an address last week,
warned the people of Detroit to beware
of shady real estate dealers, who sd
vertise Ford lots" when they have
nothing to sell. Many new realty firms
have sprung up since the Ford tractor
announcement. Property owners in the
Ford district and near the proposed
plants have increased rents from SO
to s25 month, while hundreds OF
families have been unable 10 rent
houses of any kind, and have been
forced TO leave the city.
Rumors of motor mergers and the
daily announcements of some new firm
intending 10 locate in Detroit have
brought thousands Of families TO De-
troit, but the lure OF the Ford profit
sharing plan has been the strongest.
Nevertheless, there are few men out
of work in Detroit. Hundreds of Jobs
for unskilled laborers are open, while
the demand for skilled auto workers
is increasing. The Ford tractor plant,
which will be known as the Henry Ford
e. Son Tractor Company, will be COM
pleted by next fall, it is said. Tho total

ONLY ONE BID FOR AERO
NAIL ROUTES IN ALASKA
Plants Tied Up by War-$45, 500
Year Asked.

Washington, May 12.-Opening OF
bids to-day at the Postoffice Depart
ment for aeroplane mail service on
seven routes in Alaska and one in
Massachusetts, developed only one bid
der. d. L. Byers, of lditarod, Alaska.
offered to undertake service for a year
between Seward and Iditarod. a dis
tance of $50 miles, for S45,500. The
department will consider its accept
ance.
Department officials attribute the
lack of bids to the fact that American
aeroplsne manufacturers are busy on
contracts for the European bellige-
rents and most of them have sold their
products far in advance. The depart
ment has learned, il was said to-day,
that some manufacturers will consider
the aero mail routes later, and another
call for bids probably will be issued.
The seven Alaskan routes proposed
would cover much Of the territory.
The cost of overland transportation on
most of them is high, in some instances
as much as 100000 a year. The Sew
ard-Iditarod route costs now S22,S65.
The Massachusetts route on which bids
were asked is from New Bedford to
Nantucket. It's cost to the government
now is S23, 900 a year.

DETECTIVES TRANSFORM
CLEOPATRA'S PALACE
Ii Becomes Just Plain Flat as
Occupant Goes to Court.

A hairy hand with revolver in it
and a police shield behind 1t appeared
in rear window Of a ground floor
apartment at Amsterdam Avenue and
Eightieth Street early yesterday morn
ing.
Ii was not magician's hand, but
with a single wave it resolved the gold
and purple hangings OF a palace into
the wallpaper of plain New York fat.
Cleopatra saw the hand and screamed
and She was no longer Cleopatra. With
her scream the Orient slipped away. So
did she, through a front window, airily
vgulting an iron fence and FIVE feet of
emptiness where the cellar steps ran
down.
By the time the owner of the hand
had climbed through the window-it
was Detective Sergeant Michael Judge,
of the Headquarters dope squad"-the
fat looked deserted.
But Judge and Detectives Erb and
Hackett, whom he admitted through
the front door, found two occupants.

POOR, HE PURSUES
TRADE INTO SUNDAY
Now "Mommer" Must Tend
Store for Five Days.

Ordinarily customers pass Barnett
Rosenblum little grocery at !3l Gates
Avenue, Brooklyn, to make their pur-

WHY Rosenblum, who has five llttie
children and a wife to feed, finally
grew reckless and twice violated the
Sunday closing law. Yesterday he ap-
peared. nervous and conscience stricken,
before Magistrate Steers, in the Gates
Avenue police court, TO answer TO the
charge preferred against him by the
Retail Grocers' Association.
"It's true. your honor. It's all true"
seid Rosenblum. "My kids cant starve.
Their mommer works, too, all day long
and We-we"---
He stopped and pointed an eloquent
finger at two little children who. from
the front row of the spectators seats,
wondered what was going to happen TO
their frightened father. They weren't
kept in doubt long.
Law is law, and you are a second
offender" said the magistrate. "Fiye
days in Jail and fine of $40"
A policeman started toward the
grated door leading TO the prisoners
cage as the dazed Rosenblum sud
denly regained power of speech.
Rosie, tell mommer the bread bill
can wait till tomorrow, but the egg
manll be there tonight, and she

Just then the door slammed behind
the grocer. The two small children
started home alone.

ator James Smith. ir. For the last five
years the Jim Nugent machine has
been at ioggerhesds with the Presi-
dent Its leaders have been saying all
manner Of mean things about him. and
Mr.. Wilson Is credited with saying
some rather testy things about Nu-

so harmony is the watchword from
Washington, regardless of with whom
the harmony is If votes are concerned.

Kings Prosecutors Friend
Fears Senator's Quiz Will
Bare Jury Evidence.

Regardless Of his good intentions 70
unravel the overlapping features of
the charities investigation, Senator
Thompson has made no particular hit
with the District Attorney and the
Grand Jury of Kings by his determine
tion to call Mayor Mitchell and other
witnesses who have already testified in
Kings County.
Harry +. Lewis, the District Attor-
ney, who. at the request of the Kings
County Grand Jury was the first to
question the legality of the wire tap
pers and TO inquire into the circum-
stances of their esvesdropping, is
greatly displeased with the prospect Of
the Thompson inquiry.
Lewis Far from Pleased.
Mr.. Lewis refused to comment on the
prospect of his witnesses appearing be-
fore the Thompson committee on Mon
day. but admitted he was not jubilant
over the advent of outside assistance"
This whole procedure" said friend
of the District Attorney, "is strange
combination of circumstances. Ii may
defeat the very object for which both
inquiring bodies are striving. II is an
amazing situation, and perhaps illegal,
where a legislative body injects itself
into a grand jury inquiry and makes
public at a hearing the testimony that
has been garnered by the grand jury.
Neither the District Attorney nor
the grand jurors are permitted TO re-
veal testimony that has come to them
in an official inquiry. Here we are
confronted with the prospect OF pub
lie airing of testimony that has been
taken by the grand jury.
Bad Precedent Feared.
"District Attorney Lewis is not at all
pleased by the Thompson committees
action. He was the pioneer in ferret
ing out the abuse of wire-tapplng, an
alleged abuse OF police prerogatiye, and
now, when the inquiry assumes large
proportions and is shaping itself into
a most important feature of the chari-
ties investigation, along comes the
legislative committee with its public
hearing.
This will be a precedent which may
lead TO the abuse Of blocking or dis
crediting a grand jury whenever leg
islative body sees fit to do So"
