MAKES AN ISSUE OF THE PUBLIC
 UTILITIES BOARD

Attorney Fred D. Faulkner of New Haven, Democratic candidate for State Senator from the Ninth district has injected a new issue into the campaign. He is making a drive for a different method of selecting the members of the board of Public Utilities. He offers not a criticism of the members of the commission but objects strongly to the method of appointment.
 It is his belief that the members of this commission should be elected by the people. That their terms should be but two years. Furthermore each issue that comes before the Commits sion should be decided by a hearing before the decision of the Commission and not have to be argued out on an appeal after the decision of the board had been made.
 At the present time the Public Utilities Commission is responsible only to the Governor and the mem bers are appointed for a term of six years solely on his recommendation. This board solely controls the prices of trolley transportation, gas electri- city and in short all of the comm odi- ties which vitally affect the people of this state.

PREPARING TRIAL OF kIDNAPPER OF
 C0UCHLIN CHILD

Philadelphia, Oct. S.---satisfied that the mystery surrounding the kidnapping on June of Blakely Coughlin, the 13-months old son of George H. Coughlin of Norristown, has been cleared up by the confession of August Pasquale, the authorities today began prepartion of their case against "the crank' for presentation Coughlin also said he felt the case had been cleared up. T am very much relieved now that the tension is broken" he declared. '"The sus- pense of living the rest of my life without the sure knowledge of the fate of my boy now is settled. am glad it is over."
 Although Pasquale, according to Major Lynn B. Adams, head of the State Police, confessed that he smoth- cred the child while making his es- cape with it under his coat, and threw the body into the Schuylkill river, legal authorities here today said he could not be tried on the charge of murder because of the ab- sence of proof of the "corpus delictf' or body of the crime. A confess sion, they declared, could not be in troduced in evidence until the corpus delicti has been shown.
 A piece of steel rail with string attached was found yesterday by a quale as the place where he threw the body. Evidences of a fire on the river bank nearby, where he told the authorities he burned the child s clothing, also were discovered. No trace of the body, however, was found and officials believe none ever will be. They say that after being in the water for more than four months, it undoubtedly has decom- posed and disappeared.
 In addition to the kidnapping and staying of the Coughlin boy, Pas quale also will be chaged with the murder in Philadelphia on June 1 of Mrs. Rose fisherman, who conducted a rooming house here. He told Ma jor Adams that he went to the house for the purpose of robbery and had killed Mrs fisherman with piece of slate. Until his Confession was made public the killing had remained a mystery. Local police said today they were convinced Pasqua1e was the slayer. He also is said to have confessed to the killing of a man in a saloon here about nine months ago.

COMRADES PART
 AFTER 17 YEARS
By InternationaI News Service)

Nby 1NeWS SeINlCe.b
 San Francisco, Oct. 12. - After seventeen years of friendship to- gether in the woods and hills of the Sierras, David Melee, seventy-year- old prospector, and his dog are sep arated.
 Prison bars prevent dog and mas ter from seeing each other. For McBee is in the county jail at Sac ramento and his canine is at the jail at Quincy. It happened when McBee was arrested for lighting fire in a forest reserve. The marshal who made the arrest also had to take the dog. He broughtsthe two to the Quincy jail. Then by a ruse the old prospector was taken to the jail at Sacramento, and the dog was left alone.
 And now the aged prospector is worrying about his dog. Seventeen years in the lonely places with this dog as his companion has implanted an affection for the animal in the heart of the man. The dog has gone on a hunger strike because he Shas lost his master. McBee has even vol unteered to walk to Quincy to get the dog and the return to Sacra- mento again, if permitted.
 "1f not, give him real funeral if he dies" said the old miner, McBee is being held because he cannot raise his bail, and the date of his release is uncertain.

Washinton, Oct. 13-Credit diffi- culties that confront the cotton and wheat producers, and other groups now clamoring for Federal aid,. to enable them to carry over harvested crops, was the major problem dealt with today when the Fall meeting of the governors of all Federal reserve banks convened at the treasury, Practically every large producing group had on file it's urgent demands on the Federal reserve board that that body lift the credit bars high enough to stave off losses totalling several billion dollars, which other wise might be sustained in the pro- cess of the present normal price ad- juStment.

 Today will mark the last appear ance of two of the biggest attractions that have ever been seen at Polls. ''The Branding Iron,' Reginald Barker production released by Gold Wyn has been wonderful feature picture, and Albertina Rasch & Co. in "Sun and Earth" a ballet of the four seasons has been a big vaude- vile attraction.
 Quinn and Caverly, old time favor ties in new comedy skit; Beatrice Morgan & Co. supported by John Edgar Allen Wolfe, Hall and Shapiro in "Bumpin' Around,'' and two Bridgeport boys, Mooney and Conroy in '"The Plasterers'' complete the a Triangle comedy entitled "Her Fame and Shame are added attrac- 1 tionS.
 Starting on Sunday night, for four days, the biggest picture of a decade will be shown at the theatre. The Revenge of Tarzan" with Gene Polar in the title role, is probably the most sensational picture ever produced. The management has been very fortunate in being able to announce that MT. Polar will appear in person at the theatre on Sunday and Monday nights in connection with the show star.
 LYRIC.
 The outstanding asset and feature of 'tThe Crimson Alibf' the wonder play now being presented at the Lyric theatre, is it's mystery. Those who have read and enjoyed Sherlock Holmes plays, Edgar Allen Poe and other books of mystery and detective stories will be more than pleased to try and ferret out the mystery con- tained in "The Crimson Alibi', for it is not until the last of the play that the real criminal is discovered. Although the principal role falls to the lot of Edwin Vail, who portrays the character of the detective, the leading character is Arthur Chatter don as Larry Conover, an exconvict who is also suspected of the crime. Ruth Amos, the leading lady is given opportunity to prove her ability as are all the members of the company. i Next week the Players will launch into farce comedy in the presentation of that excellent farce comedy Peggy Behave"

! ion of the government men that Chase

He has been under surveillance for
some time and on Tuesday a member

sion Of intoxicating liquor and selitnt
liquor illegally.
