SEEK COMPANION
OF MURDERED WOMAN
Mystery of Mrs, Julia May
Hess Death Causes Stir
in Mobile

MOBILE, Ala, May 2e.-Officers to-
day were investigating many clues in an
effort to ascertain who was the compan-
ion of Mrs. Julia May Hess on an au-
tomobile ride early Monday morning
just before she was murdered. The
body of the twenty-seven-year-o wife
of a Fulton. Ala. locomotive engineer
was found in Chickassa bogue creek stab
bed and with the throat cut and n
guardsman on duty nearby said it was
thrown from an automobile.
The police are holding Fisher Brooks,
a negro chauffeur, who a clerk at the
st. Andrews hotel here said drove Mrs.
Hess and young man away from the
hotel at about o'clock Monday morn
ing. They were quarreling at the time
the clerk said The police today stat
ed that they had found blood stains on
mat in Brooks taXicab.
Albert Sanders, another negro chauf-
feur, also is in custody. The only way
the police have connected him with the
case so far is to say that he drove
Mrs. Hess from a railway station to
the st. Andrews hotel Sunday after
noon. She had left her home Sunday af-
ter telling her husband she was going
to Jacksonville to visit her mother.
The story that the body of the muir
dered woman was thrown from an auto
mobile seemed to be given weight by
the discovery of hair. believed to be
that of Mrs. Hess on a plank at the
edge of the bridge.
Twenty-Five members of the Ala
bama national guard were at the po-
lice station last night but their pres
ence was unexplained. There has been
no demonstration.
The body of Mrs. Hess will be taken
TO Stark, Fla, for burial

GENEVA, May 26.-(Via PARISH
The Associated Press is informed that
the Geneva Red Cross has received
thus far the names of 81 American
American prisoners in Germany. The
list has been forwarded to Washing

prisoners are sailors from captured
ships who were taken before the decla-
ration of a state of war between the
United States and Germany and there
fore, IT is claimed. should according to
law be released.

them as hostages. The American pris-
oners are interned in two camps and

girne as are British prisoners. The
British prisoners receive parcels OF
food from home but the Americans are
suffering from hunger and from lack
of necessities. 1t is claimed they are

CAR MAN
Of COAST HERE

The Overland Arizona company has
been forced into the used car business.
1t was announced yesterday that w S.
Roads of Los Angeles had been Sc
cured to take charge of the new de-
partment, which for the present will
remain at headquarters at 227 North
Central avenue.
Mr.. Roads was formerly with the
Howard Auto company of Los Angeles,
agents for the Buick. in charge of their
used car department
The Overland Arizona company did
not want to go into the used car bust
ness. They have felt all along that
some time they would be forced to
expand in order to accommodate their
hundreds of customers who constantly
called for used cars. 1t is now believed
that with Mr.. Roads in charge the VEN
ture will be a success, and those seek
ing bargains in used cars will find the
very thing they desire.
