BANK MESSENGERS
DEATH STILL MYSTERY
Clues Fail to Clear Case of
= DoUid Paul.

CAMDEN. N. J., Oct. 1S.--After two
days of investigation, the authorities
admitted tonight they were no nearer
solution of the mystery surrounding
the death of David s. Paul. the Camden
bank messenger. than they were the
day his body was found buried in q
shallow grave in the Jersey pines.
/. Several supposed clues have been run
out, but apparently they have not shed
any light on the case. One OF the most
promising. that OF the yellow car, was
eliminated to-day when a Hardonfield
garage owner informed the police that
he and two friends were in the vicinity
Of Tabernacle. near where Paul's body
was discovered. on Friday afternoon in
yellow roadster. They went there to
look over some land and the police said
none Of them knew anything about the
case.
Instead Of $4,000 In cash and $4,000
in checks, which 1t was first reported
that Paul carried when he disappeared
on October s. Prosecutor Wolverton of
Camden county announced tonight the
messenger had $4,000 in cash and $30,-
900 in checks. All OF the checks were
found In n coat which had been placed
In the bottom Of the grave under Paul's
body, he said. None of the cash was
found. officials of the Broadway Trust
Company, from which the money was
being taken TO n Philadelphia institu-
ton. would neither confirm nor deny
that the messenger carried the larger
amounts. An insurance company, IL was
stated, paid the banks loss two days
after PauFs disappearance.

mo THEATRE SLUMP,
SAYS EQUITY HEAD
Blames Touring Managers for
Reports of Calling In Many
Road Companies.
PAY CLAUSE IRKSOME
Gus Hill, However, Says More
Travelling Attractions May
Have to Close.

AS IT'S contribution to the revelations
being made about conditions in the theat-
rical field, the Actors Equity Associa-
ton gave out statement yesterday de-
claring that it was satisfied with condi-
tions and that talk of companies thrown
out of work on the road being due to
strict enforcement by the Equity of the
lay off clause In its contract. was the
work of disgruntled managers.
The associations statement made par
ticular reference to the "Shavings"
case. which Percy Williams. retired
vaudeville manager, acting as umpire. de-
cided in favor OF the Equity couple Of
weeks ago. This company for this play
was told the play would close on the
road, and the players reengaged a week
and half later for an engagement In
the vicinity OF New York. The Equity
made fight to collect payment for that
week and a half of idleness. claiming
the company was laid off and not per-
manently disbanded.
John Emerson, president OF the Equity.
after denying the existence of a slump,
said:
Business in the theatres this season
any Presidential election year for the
last quarter of a century.
AT the beginning of this season the
touring managers. who control the one
night stand companies, demanded that
the Equity Association should abrogate
the clause in its contract which pro-
vides that eight performances should
constitute a weeks work, and allow
these managers nine or ten perform
ances without extra pay, on the plea
that railroad fares and other expenses
had materially increased.
1.-THE Equity officials pointed out that
while no doubt the managers expenses
had increased, at the same time the
prices of admission for their attractions
had increased by a corresponding per-
centage. hence there was no reason for
altering the accepted contract with the
actors. This decision settled effectively
this question, but the indictments
among the managers then began to agi-
tate for an abrogation of the clause for
bidding layoffs without pay"
Mr.. Emerson's opinions were echoed
by Frank Gilmore, executive secretary,
who repudiated the idea that the Equity
was closing plays.
Gus Hill, president of the Touring
Managers Association, is quoted in the
current issue of q theatrical weekly to
the effect that he has heard that. forty
shows have closed on the road so far
this season. lie said that while re-
ceipts have climbed. profits at the end
of the week are dropping from 20 to
SO per cent. as compared with last sea-
son. Election years are generally bad
years, according to Hill. but this looks
to him like the worst season in years.
This condition he ascribes TO high
fares. Unless conditions are
bettered he predicted that 70 per cent.
of the road attractions will be forced
to close by the HOLIDAYS

DONLIN'S THREAT FAILS
TO BRIGHTEN COUNCIL
Building Trades Do Not Fear
Suspension of Charter.

The ultimatum in which John Donlin,
president of the building trades depart
ment of the American Federation OF
Labor, has threatened to suspend the
charter OF the New York Building
Trades Council for an alleged ceating
of dual organization OF painters"
has not occasioned any fear among la
Dor officials in New York. 1t became
evident last night. There were denials
that the threat had been received and
Robert p. Brindell, president OF the
Building Trades Council, representing
$4,000 building workers in this city,
observed that even though Mr.. Donlir
had made such a threat, "he is not the
whole department of the building trades
OF the American Federation" The no
LITIGATION that caused the commotion was

A reproduction of It was published as

but denied having received 1t person.
ally. He said the department of build
ings trades as a whole certainly would
not support any such attitude. He ex-
planned the charter revocation threat
was q part of the controversy of the
painters with the Building Trades Coun-
ell. Concerning the particular organi-
zation of painters referred to in the
Donlin notification Mr.. Brindell said an
invitation had been extended them to
join the council and that they mad done
so.
"If there is any action contemplated
by the department OF building trades"
Mr.. Brindell said. there must first be
an official investigation OF the entire
matter by the department"
