NEW WEAPON AGAINST CRIME
Chemical Analysis Resulted Recently
in the Detection Of Two Rather
Clever Rogues.

Solution of large and vexing
problem in criminology by the ap-
plication of delicate methods. of
chemical analysis, feat recently
performed by government scientists,
may well be classed among the facts
that are stranger than fiction"
says Popular Mechanics Magazine.
Two men had been arrested while
tying to sell 27o~uunces of sponge
platinum valued ats$1o0 an: ounce.
It was found that: all the precious
metal reported missing by govern
ment and industrial Laboratories did
not equal this amount. Et was
known, however. that the platinum
IN possession Of the various plants
apd bureaus varied in composition,
some stocks containing traces Of ri
dunn, and some palladium, or other
rare elements Inventories Of known
stocks were Immediately requested,
and the confscated lots were check
ed against these returns. With the
information thus gained as a founda-
ton, the stolen platinum was traced
to it's two sources. By replacing the
distracted metal with mixture Of
mercury and moist earth, the cul-
prits had been able to prevent de-
lection Of the gradually diminish
ing stores.

u. S. ARMY ATHLETES TO
 QUALIFY FOR OLYMPIC TEAM


 Washington, March 9.-United States army athletes will be given every opportunity to qualify for places upon the American Olympic. team, which will compete at Antwerp, Secretary of War Baker announced today.
 Track and field athletics, boxing, wrestling, swimming, fencing, rifle md pistol shooting and horseman- ship. An elaborate programme of preliminary tryouts is being prepared by which method the pick of the ar my in every one of these branches of sport will be selected and offered to the American Olympic Committee for the final trials in which each con- testant for place on the American team must demonstrate his athletic right to make the trip to Belgium.
 The army plans include athletic elimination trials open to. all men and officers of the army to be held at each camp post and station throughout the entire country. These local meets will be followed by departmental games in which the winners of minor meets will meet in competition. The departmental winners will in turn be entered in the army championship games after which the survivors will be placed in charge of corps of competent trainers for special pre- paration for the Olympic tryouts to be held in Boston early in July.
 Special arrangements will be made along somewhat similar lines for el'minat'ons in fencing shooting and horsemanship. It is hoped that as a result of these preliminary activities the army will be well represented on the American Olympic team when that combination sails for Antwerp about the middle of July.

JENNY MURPHY LIVE PROSPECT

man, who was with the team most of last season, getting the ropes from the bench. Few brighter prospects have shown than this youngster. But it must be remembered that the brightest early spring prospects of ten turn out the largest lemons.
 -Murphy's career as professional baseball player started in 1916 when he joined the Lawrence team of the Eastern League, which team he re- mained with in 1917. The following season saw Murphy in Uncle Sam's service at the second naval district at Newport, where one of the strongest teams in the service was assembled. Such men as Picinich of the Wash ington Americans, Daly of the Cubs. and Tragressor of the Boston Braves were compelled to decorate the bench. On account of the fiery backstop work of Murphy, last season saw him with Toleda of the American Asso- citation, from which team he was bought by the Yankees.
 Murphy's followers in eastern Connecticut who have seen him and know him. will be pleased to hear of his fine chances and wish him, good luck, as the only player from eastern Connecticut in the big show.

 FOR WATERBURY CLUB

Waterbury, Conn, March 9-Sena- tor Charles A. Templeton. candidate
 for governor on the republican ticket, purchased Michael E. Keeley's half interest in the local baseball club yes terday. Frank P. Becton retains his half interest in the local, baseball club and represented the Waterbury club at the Eastern League meeting in Springfield today. Senator Templeten has the backing of influential citizens and states that a new ball park will he built at the golf lots near the cen- ter of the city. This means that the Rockville grounds. for the past 15 years the home of the Waterbury club will be abandoned. It is over two miles from the city and its inaccessi- bility has always been a handicap to the local club. Jud Daley who was temporary manager of the local team last season after Jack Flynn quite the club. has been engaged as man ager of the local team for this season.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS STRONG.

New York, March 9.-Stocks were active and strong again during the greater part of today's session, de- irving additional stimulus from the decis ons of the. supreme court, one of which exempted stock dividends from taxation. while the other ruled that appraisals Of railroad properties are to be based on present physical values.
 Trading continued to be dominated by issues which led yesterday more extensive operations, but also em7 braced numerous specialties and mis- St3tus is likely to undergo marked al- terations as a result of the tax de- rsion.
 An eight per cent. for call money, which later dropped to : per cent. and a rally in foreign exchange, not ably the London remittance, were among the factors in the further ad- vance. which was arrested i'll the la ter dealings however, by heavy re- al zing for profits.
 Strength of railroad shares in creased the belief that these proper ties. like many high grade industrials, probably will readjust their capital with consequent distribution of hid At.l dbstlS. CO4lllIiS WIllliil IlltS Cdle- gory were Delaware, Lackawanna and Western at an extreme advance of g points and Reading at gain of 3 1-2.
 Repeating their spectacular gyra- tions of the previous day, General Motors and Cruc.ble Steel were again the outstanding features. Motors made a gross rise of 22 points to 323 and Crucible rose 13 points to 240 Motors forfeited exactly half it's gain at the close and Crucible finished at an actual loss of a fraction.
 Other motors, steels and equip ments. also oils, tobaccos and food shares registered gains of two to six points in the course of the day, but of these varied issues only oils and tobaccos were strong at the close. Sales amounted to 1,400,00 shares.
 The bond market was strong, es- pecially Liberty Ifs and interna- tionals. but trading was relatively light. Total sales, par value, aggre- gated s12,375, 900.
 Old U. s. bonds were unchanged on call.

Murphy seems to possess real catching brains. He is an accurate thrower. who gets the bail away with no waste of time. and his pegs come to helders as light as feathers. He is also wise, for he hasn't turned loose with his arms as yet, but granting he can whip the ball on occasion. as reported, he should be just about ready for steady work. Moreover, Murphy is fast on his feet, while Hannah is the reverse, and he prom ises to hit quite as well as Truck. :
 Murphy is big and strong and should be able to shoulder plenty of responsibility. Hannah's chief charm was an iron constitution, which guar anteed a target for the pitchers ev- cry day, for he was practically inn pervious to injury. He is what is known as a good plugger and that just about lets him out.
 Muddy Ruel, who must be con- s:dered first string catcher just now, has taken on some weight since a year ago. But he is still of the frail variety and so youthful that he could not stand up under overwork So well either as Hannah or Murphy-srant- ing all other qualifications were equal But in addition to Ruel there is Hof-

These Tests Helped Build
 the Present Hudson

And remember, it was chiefly through endurance, made possible by it's exclusive motor, that Hudson won these victories. Such tests impose a strain that could be equalled, in ordinary driving, only by years of hard use.
 These records are three, four and five years old. Yet they have never been matched. And the Hudson of today is a better car because of what they taught.
 But not the slightest change has been made in the Super-Six motor principle. For no way has been found to improve it.
 And because it has found no rival in performance HudSon'S sales leadership among all fine cars has been unbroken.
 Hudson production has always been under the demand. This year shows repetition of the shortage. So to get a Hudson at all this summer calls for early decision.
Norwich bulletin., 1920-03-10

No other fine car is so well regarded by so many people as the Hudson Super-Sx. The proof is everywhere about you. More than 85,OOO are now in service and for five years it has been the worlds largest selling fine car.
 Observe its predominance in any as- semblage of fine cars. Each body type is noted for handsome appearance and rich completeness of every detail. Hudson cbeated new standards of beauty. All know how its leadership in design is acknowledged.
 But Hudson's chief appeal must al- ways be in performance.
 If any car disputes Hudson'S Suprem- acy in speed, endurance, hill climbing or acceleration, it is not by official proof.

That Denny" Murphy, the Taft vile boy. will blaze his way into the big leagues is shown by an article in .--e New York Tribune, by the scribes with the New York Americans. The article follows:
 There is little doubt that Truck Hannah is going to capitulate event. ually. But it is not so certain that his services at that time will be in such demand as appeared to be the case a week ago. Higgins appears to have picked up a real live wire in Murphy, who comes from Toledo. Ii looks and actions are any criterion this bird has come to stay.
