Detroit, July 2S.-Detroit police to-
day awaited developments in several
cities in connection with the sending
from here to New York of trunk con-
tanning the mutilated body of a wo-
man. Search for Eugene Leroy, hus-
band OF the murdered woman, was be-
ing continued in all parts of the coun-
try.
Birmingham, Ala, July 2S.-Two
men named Fernandez who arrived
here about June Is were questioned to-
day by Lieutenant John P. Smith Of
the Detroit homicide squad in connec-
ton with the Detroit New York trunk
mystery. They were freed.
Fear that E. Leroy, alleged husband
of the Jackson woman, and said by the
police to be the shipper of the body,
will bump him off," has been ex-
pressed to the police by Tatum who
asked permission today to carry a re-
volver. He has changed his address
since he stated his belief that the mur
dered woman was Katherine jackson,
but continues his work for a local lino-
type company.
The police here, with the ass stance
of Lieutenant Smith, are still working
upon the theory that Leroy is also
known as Fernandez. although they
consider it very likely that he has as
sumed an alias since the body of the
woman was Skinned from Detroit.

URGES NEED OF
PUBLIC DOCKS
Shipping Expert Declares That
Need Of Docks and Roads is
Equally Great

Pensacola has a wonderful port
and possibilities for shipping, but
unless the city builds municipal docks
you will never realize the opportuni-
ties that are at your door," declared
Henry FL. Read in short talk before
the Rotary Club yesterday. Mr.. Read
is president of the Meridional Pub
fishing Co., with offices at New Or
leans, Savannah, Colon. c.. H., Ha-
vana, and San Juan. He stopped in
Pensacola yesterday on a trip through
the southern states in the interest
of his company.
"Your citizens authorized bond is
sue several years ago, the money to
be devoted to building and maintain
ing municipal docks, but the project
has been lying dormant since it's
passage and the city has been deprived
of one of its greatest assets he con-
tinued.
"Shipping lines of the bigger class
will not enter your port on regular
schedule with only privately owned
wharfs and docks, but sidestep and
go to the port where the dockage ia :
cilities are municipality owned and op-
Grated. When you get your docks in
operation your port will be developed
and advantage will be taken of your
wonderful harbor. But not before that
time.
Mr.. Read took advantage of the op-
portunity to compliment the city for
it's vote for the bond issue for an edu-
cational program on Tuesday and said
that educational facilities were of the
greatest Importance confronting any
American city. With that problem
cared for by the bond issue the citi-
'zens should next take up the cause
of the delay in the municipal docks
and get that completed as quickly
as possible, he said.
Developments of good roa 8
throughout your section of the state"
he added, rs second only to the i'm
mediate necessity of the dock prob
lem. When you build a roads system
over which trucks may operate, bring
ing in the produce raised in west Flor
ida and southern Alabama, you will
have solved one of the biggest prob
lens confronting any seaport town.
By that means you will do away with
the tendency of one railroad bottNng
up and controlling your marketing
possibility. Every avenue of trade of
a seaport should be highly developed,
said Mr.. Read, in order to avoid con-
gestion of market facilities, and good
roads form one of the greatest ave-
nues locally. You have solved your
educational problem. now likewise
solve your port development and good
roads problem"
