New Suspect Sought
AS Slayer of Brown

Special Correspondence
MT. CLEMENS, Mich, Jan. At Is
broadly minated here tonight that
a new warrant will be issued Monday
definitely charging a man with the
murder of J. Stanley Brown, who was
killed in his automobile near this city
nearly two weeks ago. A witness was
said to have been located who saw q
man leave the Edison Hotel with
Brown at 10:30 o'clock the night of the
crime, in Browns car.
This development, it is contended by
those who have been following the
case, would be followed, most likely,
by q withdrawal of the murder charge
against Mrs. Cecil Beatrice Vester,
who despite the evidence given by her
Battle Creek roommate, is now be-
licved innocent. The Vester woman
may be held, however, as a material
witness.
Meanwhile the man in the case is
being kept under surveillance. It is
still regarded as possible the accumu-
lation of evidence may lead to a con-
fession.
Positive action toward asking for q
new warrant, it is asserted, will de-
pend entirely on the result of the
continued secret inquiry into the MUIR
der under direction of Attorney Cen
eral Groesbeck. The inquiry will be
resumed tomorrow afternoon.

Starvation a Film
Picture, Depicts
Hunger in Europe
Scenes in Russia, Austria,
Poland, Finland and
Other Stricken Countries
To Be Shown First Time

The famine that has threatened to
overwhelm all Of eastern Europe and
the efforts Of America to check it will
be shown in motion picture called
Starvation" filmed by order OF Her
bert c. Hoover. and to be presented for
the first time in any country at the
Manhattan Opera House next Friday.
Army and navy officers, acting un-
der the direction Of Mr.. Hoover and
the Supreme Economic Council of the
Peace Conference, have served as
camera men in Russia, Austria, Hun
gary, Poland, Finland and a dozen of
the smaller stricken nations to obtain
this record of their need.
Starvation" shows the way in which
food from America stood as the most
effective bulwark against Bolshevism
IN tho East and saved the unhappy
nations of that region from "goine
'Red." 1t also gives several startling
scenes of activities on the BolshcyiI
frontier near Pskov.
Among the distinguished men of
other lands appearing in the produc-
tion are Ignace Paderewski, first Prem
Ter of the Polish Republic; King Fer
dlnand and Queen Marie Of Rumania,
who are shown working with the Off
GERS of the American Food Relief Com
mission . in Bucharest to feed the
people Of the stricken city; Chancellor
Renner, Of Austria, and the famous
DR.. Adolph Lorenz.
One of the most dramatic incidents
is the arrival Of American relief
agents at Pskov on the first train to
reach the city in six months. This
train was laden with American food
stuffs for the starving Russians and

profits at the expense of the fleet corpo-
ration"
Another allegation in the report was
that many firms, holding construction
contracts inaugurated Liberty bond sell
ing crusades in their plants and charged
to ship construction 10 per cent of the
money thus secured as the cost for sell
ing the bonds. 1t was further charged
that in some cases the feet corporation
authorized contractors to take from
their appropriated funds" sufficient
funds to buy Liberty bonds and that sub
sequently in some cases these bonds were
sold or hypothecated at a loss and the
money thus realized used for plant pur-
pOses.'

Going into the matter of salvaged ship
building plants, uncompleted hulls and
material and stores. the report alleged
that it. was asserted by persons in po-
sition TO know, that the sale of the mil
lions of dollars worth of materials
owned by the fleet corporation had Melted
no more than 1872 cents on the dollar at
time when the shipping board at other
points was buying the same materials in
the open market at prices in advance of
the original cost prices of the materials
sold. .s
As to building contract cancellations
and hull removals, the report asserted
that the shipping board entered into a

unfinished state at the time the coitfaSt
was signed or to secure from the Dulld-
ers or the owners of the land upon when
the hulls and ways rested a release rom
further liability.
For some reason said the report,
the United States shipping board saw
mt to make a contract with rogers 10 pay
him $4,000 per hull for each nun thus
handled by him. The result mas Deen
that in many cases the shipping board
has paid an additional $4,000 per hull TO
have Rogers sell the hull or give it away,
in many cases the cost OF the hull repre-

lars Rogers has found no dlthculty IN
selling these bulls at very tar price,
which revenues revert to Rogers, IN addl-
ton to which he collected from the United

corporation $4,000 per hull fee.
1t was alleged in the report that re
pair work on shipping board vessels was
done on basis of pay for WOrkmen on
the job at current wages plus 90 per cent
for overhead and profit, plus 10 per cent
OF material cost to cover cost OF purchase
