HANDY IS INDICTED
AS DOUBLE SLAYER
Murder Convict Accused OF
Brooklyn Bank Tragedy.

Gordon Fawcett Handy. who, the po-
lice say. IL also known as Jay b. Allen
and Boyd Browning. was indicted yes
terday by the Kings county Grand Jury
on a charge of murder in the first de-
gree for the killing of Henry W. Coons
and De Witt c. Peal In the robbery OF
the East Brooklyn Savings Bank in De-
cember Handy Is now In Tacoma,
Wash, where he recently has been con-
victed OF first degree murder. and which,
il is expected. will make his extra dition
difficult.
District Attorney Lewis went before
the Grand Jury with the case after he
had received a telegram from his as
sistant. Albert Conway. who went 10
Tacoma with Albert G.. Freeman, assist.
ant paying teller of the bank, and
George Fl. Mccullough, who drove the
taxicab in which the robbers escaped
Mr.. Conway's message stated that both
Freeman and Mccullough had identified
Handy as the man who killed two bank
employees and robbed the institution oil
$4,000.
Mr. Conway also stated that he had
conferred with the Governor OF Wash
ington regarding the extradition OF
Handy, and that the Governor had
promised to help the New York authori-
ties get the man. Mr. Lewis sent De.
tectives Dowd and Eason to Albany yes.
terday with a copy Of the indictment anc
other papers, which are to be signed BY
Gov. Smith in extradition proceedings.

PLENTY OF JOBS, BUT
NOT THE RIGHT KIND
kirchwsy Explains Problems
of Unemployment Bureau.

DR.. George w. Kirchwey, director OF
the Federal Employment Service for the
State OF New York. was inclined to sniff
Yesterday at a printed statement that
the Unemployment bureau, in charge OF
placing soldiers. sailors and marines. al
sos Pearl street, had listed several thou
sand more Jobs than 1t had applicants
for.
III a graduate mechanical engineer
can he thoroughly satisfied with a job
as teamster, then ! suppose 1t Is en-
tirely true that there arc enough jobs
to go around In the City" DIR. Kirchwey
said. Despite the fact that II has been
frequently pointed out that Ave jobs for
ditch diggers do not make one job for
an Office manager. the analyst could not
depart from the apparent mathematical
fact that there were more jobs avail
able than there were applicants to MI
them. or course the reverse Is the case,
There is very great shortage OF
clerical positions and of jobs for produce
ton men. When you consider the pro-
fessional field. the shortage. is quite ap-
nalling. Can any one believe that the
unemployment problem Is solved by
offering an SIS or $40 a week job to a
man capable OF earning at least 5000
year by use OF a brain which was
trained in an American university? In
my opinion, there wiz be an unsmploy-
ment problem until eve.T man who won
the war for America has obtained a
Job which is decently Cited to his real
abilities" .

MURDER OF WOMAN
MYSTIFIES POLICE
Autopsy ShoWs Anna Reilly
Was Foul PIay Victim.

Detectives of the East Eighty-eighth
street police station and from the homi-
eide bureau searched the Yorkville sec
ton last night to find all the young
men and women who attended house
parties Saturday evening, in an effort
to unrayel the mystery surrounding the
murder Of Miss Anna Reilly, 30, Of 1907
Park avenue, who was found dying In
the rear hallway of the tenement at SIG
Eas. Ninety-third street The girl, who
was employed by the National Biscuit
Company, Fifteenth street and Ninth
avenue. died in Bellevue Hospital with
out regaining consciousness.
Early Sunday morning Mrs. Rose
Schmall, who lives on the ground floor
of the East Ninety-third street tene-
Inent was awakened by hearing groans
| In the hallway. She discovered the un-
conscious woman In time to see several
men run out the front doorway.
| There were several house parties In
progress in the neighborhood Saturday
\ and the police believe Anna Reilly may
have been present at one of them. Hei
lace shoes. q pair of dancing pumps. q
ring with two small pearls and pocket
book containing several dollars ant
change were missing when she wa'
taken to the hospital. This leads the
police to believe that robbery may hav'
been the motive for the crime.
I An early theory was that Miss Refill,
had been struck and knocked down b,
an automobile, carried to the tenemen
hallway and abandoned. DR.. Otto II
Schuitse and his assistant. DR.. Benja
min Schwartz. said that the woman hat
been the victim Of foul play.

BREWERS HASTEN
2.75 BEER FIGHT
Arrange for Quick Appeal on
Injunction.

Counsel for the four brewing COM
panies which have brought actions in the
United States District Court in an at
tempt to establish as law their conten-
ton that 2.75 beer is not an intoxicant
within the meaning OF the food conserva-
ton act. arranged with United States At
torney Caffey yesterday that they would
file to-day, instead of next Thursday. an
order embodying the decision rendered
by Judge julius NJ. Mayer last Friday.
The decision granted the application
Of the brewers for temporary injunc-
ton restraining Mr.. Caffey or the De-
partment of Internal Revenue from in
terfering with the manufacture of 2.15
beer. The arrangement made yesterday
was in order to facilitate the taking OF
an appeal from the injunction order in
case Mr.. Caffey elects to take one. The
brewers expect that an appeal will be
taken from every decision which Is rem
dered in their favor and that ultimately
the question of whether 2.75 beer Is ar
intoxicant will be decided by the United
States Supreme Court.
Any appeal taken from the order OF
last Friday will not stay the trials OF
the brewers actions. The brewers have
agreed to move their cases for trial be.
fore July /, the date on which the food
conservation law goes into effect.

STEEL GIVES 100000
TO JUGO-SLAV RELIEF
Gary Explains Corporation
Employs Many Relatives.

100000 gift from the United
States Steel Corporation for relief work
IN Serbia and the Jugo-Slsv States was
forwarded yesterday to Herbert Hoover
by the American Relief Administration.
II is the largest single subscription to
date for work In those countries and
was given through the American Jugo-
Slav Relief at 5ll Fifth avenue. of
which Mrs f. H. Hartman is presi-
dent. The money will be largely de-
voted to the aid of children, whose
condition after four years OF war with
insufficient nourishment will necessitate
special care.
The Steel Corporation was led to
make the donation through the fact that
large numbers of its employees have
relatives in the Jugo-Slav States. Many
Of these workers have given OF their
limited means to the same cause al
ready. Judge Gary, president of the
corporation. said he felt that the gift,
swelling the total OF individual con-
tributions from employees, would empha-
size to the recipients In Europe the per-
sonal interest OF their friends and rela
tives here. besides lifting a burden OF
worry from the minds of many who
worked for the company. The total
amount thus far turned over by the
| American Jugo-Slav Relief now exceeds
| 100000.
