Blood Stains
Are Found ON
Coppola's Auto
District Attorney Swami OF.
fers Aid in the Mystery
of the Missing Chauffeur

Many bloodstains, previously hid
den from view, were discovered yes
terday in the automobile belonging to
Charles Coppola, the missing young
chauffeur of South Norwalk. Conn. On
the strength of this District At
torney Swami wrot@ last night to
States Attorney Homer s. Cummins,
Of Fairfield County, Conn, notifying
him that in all probability homicide
had been committed, presumably in
Connecticut, and Offering his cooper
alton in the search for the missing
boy.
Meanwhile, Arthur ". Pratt, forty
two years old, of Darier. Conn, who
is held in $4,000 bail in the Yorkville
Court, charged with stealing Coppola's
car, valued at $500, obtained through
his counsel, John McKim Minton, jr.,
a writ of habeas corpus from Justice
BLUR in the Supreme Court to test
the validity of the complaint on which
he is held. Assistant District At
torney Albert B. Unger opposed the
issuance of the writ After arguments
on both sides Justice BLUR dismissed
the writ, saying:
"The fact that this defendant offered
to sell perfectly good $3.50 car for
1926, if he received s25 cash down,
together with the fact that he gave
his name as Clark in trying to take
out a license in the City Of New York,
is sufficient to show some evidence
of guilt. The writ therefore is dis
missed"
Pratt, whoses bond was furnished by
his aunt, Mrs. Josephine Campbell, of
266 West Fortieth Street, was re-
manded to the Yorkvile court to be
readmitted to bail
District Attorney Swami, in his let
ter to Attorney Cummings, inclosed
lengthy statement of facts disclosed
by Mr. Unger's Investigation of the
mystery during the last week. After
pointing out there was no reason why
Coppola should absent himself, Dis
trlct Attorney Swami said:
Since debating the inclosed report
DR.. Otto II. Schutze, my medical ex-
aminer, in company with Mr. Unger,
has made another examination of the
automobile, and numerous other stains,
similar in appearance to those which
DR.. Schultze has already pronounced
to be blood stains, appear on the car in
the proximity Of the drivers seat
There are also stains on the floor
board which have the appearance of
being blood stains and which are now
being subjected to analysis"

Z. s. Commission
Bill Is Amended:
Powers Reduced
Stat Correspondence

Stat Correspondence
ALBANY, Feb. 27.--The powers of
the Public Service Commission, as pro-
vided in the original municipal owner
ship bill, are cons derabiy clipped in
amendments agreed to day at con-
ference Of legislators. The changes
meet objections voiced at the hearing
on the bill this week. particularly on
the part of Mayor Hylan. He has per-
sstently held out in his opposition to
the bill which was drafted by the May
ors conference because of the broad
powers it gave the Public Service Com
mission.
The bill gave the Public Service
Commission the final say as to whether
municipality should be permitted to
acquire public utility The commits
sion could also determine the terms on
which public utilities were to be taken
over and make rulings governing the
in the issuance of bonds is necessary
ect.
Under the amendments the Public
Service Commission has the power to
issue certificate of convenience and
necessity for the acquiring Of public
utility only when the city establishes
new competing utility and operates
outside of it's boundaries. The author
ity of the Public Service Commission
in the issuance on bonds is necessary
only when they are against the prop
erty and good will of the utility, but
not as an obligation of the city itself.
In the matter of rates the approval
of the Public Service Commission is
not necessary, except to guarantee suf-
ticient return to pay fixed charges. 1t
is up to the city to determine whether
to pay operating expenses out of earn
ings or take part of the city's tax
levy.
Another amendment provides that
the courts instead OF the Public Ser
vice Commission shall fix the price of
a utility. The court, however, may
call upon the Public Service commits
sion for assistance. If an agreement
on the price is reached between the
corporation and the city authorities,
the people Before final acceptance may
by the initiative and referendum vote
to haye the Public Service Commission
make an appraisal of the property.
