DESPERATE NEGRO
CAP PTURED AFTER A
CHASE into PH|LLY
Alleged Slayer of Two
New York Detectives
Is Captured
DID NOT OFFER FIGHT
Had Forced Taxi Driver
to Help Him Elude
( New York Police
(By Associated Pressl

I Philadelphia, Jan. 9--Luther Bod
tdy, the young negro alleged to be the
slayer of two New York detectives
last Thursday night, was captured
early today in South Philadelphia.
He surrendered without a fight. The
police said he was heaily armed.
Boldly was captured as the result
of atip furnished by Amos Scott, a
deputy, sworn in as Philadelphia s
first negro magistrate. The search
for Boldly had continued since Sun
day when he was left stranded in a
taxicab at Fallsington.
Boldly, attired in women's cloth
ing, eluded the vigilance of the New
York police and made his way to the
Hudson tubes terminal in Newark,
late Sunday might, where he engaged
Adam Adubato, taxi driver of
Newark, to take him to Jersey City.
There Boldly is declared to have re-
vealed himself to the taxi driver as
"Boddy, the murderer" after having
threatened him with a revolver and
robbing him of about SITS, all the
money he had.
Adubato, according to the story
told Chief of Police Culliton here to-
day, was compelled by Boldly at Jer-
sey City to take the road to Philadel-
phia. The negro, he said, frequently
threatened him with the revolver and
demanded speed, declaring that there
was a reward of $4,000 for him, and
if he chad to go" he did not care who
vert with him. Boldly, according to
the driver, said he wanted to get to
Canada.
After passing Trenton Adubato
ran out of gas. The negro compelled
him to stop a car going toward Lang
horne, Pa, telling Adubato to ask for
gas, and saying if he made a false
moe it would be his last, instead of
asking for gas, however, Adubato
jumped on the running board of the
other car and exclaimed.
"For Gods sake, step on the gas,
I've got a murderer in my car and
he wants to get both of u.s."
Without more urging the other
lriver jumped his car ahead, follow
ID by bullet from Boddy's revolver,
which smashed a headlight. Heed
ess of the lowered gates at a railroad
the strange driver dashed
N and smashed both gates at the
,ther side, just as an express train
vhizzed past. At Oxford valley,
Adubato telephoned the Trenton po-
ice, and a man hunt was organized
O capture the fugitive.
Boldly, according to the Newark
axi driver, besides wearing woman's
ttire, wore a woman's wig, and the
ell he wore, covered long scar on
lis face and enabled him to elude the
Jew York police. :

company a corporation, all of Mar.

commissioners of state institutions
and the contractors to whom con-
tracts were awarded for construc-
tion of addition to the the Capitol
building, by which preliminary in
junction is sought to restrain the
board from paying out to the con-
tractors any money on account of the
contracts let to them, and to restrain
the contractors from doing any fur
ther work upon said capitol extern
sion until the further order of the
court. The bill prays that upon the
final hearing of the cause the in

date has been fixed for a hearing
upon application for temporary in
junction or restraining order, but as
the matter is of great public i'm
portance counsel for tn Irrespective
parties will agree upon as early a
date as practicable.
The application for injunction is
said to be based upon two grounds,
namely, the alleged substantial de-

BERRY SAID He DID
KNOW So MUCH COIN
fNT IN HIS CAMPAIGN
CONFERENCE IS
READY TO FINISH UP
NAVAL D|SARMAMENTS
tBy Asaociated Prcasl

washington, Jan. J-Ihe SuD-com.
mittee draft of the fye-power naval
limitation treaty had been virtually
completed today by the naval experts
and the full naval committee was pre-
pared to begin discussion of the final
draft of the pact probably later in the
day or tomorrow.
As the treaty neared this stage, the
most generally debated question ap-
peared to be whether an attempt
should be made to lay down specific
definition of a merchant vessel as
bearing on the relation of the arming
of such craft to the proposed 'limita-
tion of auxiliary naval craft to 10000
tons and also the banning of subma-
rines as commerce lestroyers. At the
conclusion of long session of the ma
val experts yesterday it was apparent
they were having difficulty in reach
ing agreement on some of their tech
nical definitions, and it was intimat-
ed that the question of defining a
merchant ship within the meaning
of the treaty has been, or might be,
brought up again.
Although it was the original inten-
tion of the American delegation at
least, as indicated by Mr.. Root in the
full committee sessions, not to at
tempt to define merchant ship be-
yond the definitions of international
law, some Of the delegates are known
to be making particular study of the
question and to regard it as one that
cannot be passed over. The Italians
Japanese and French all are said to
feel that failure to place restrictions
OF the arming of merchantmen not
only might vitiate thc project to limit
tht Individual tonnage of auxiliary
wsrcraft but also nigh: result in
great disadvantage to nations with
small r.,' hant fleets.
The British delegation, on the 9th
er hand, having given warning at the
time of the failure of the proposal
for limitation of submarine tonnage
and of the size of submarines that in
these circumstances it could not con-
sent to any restriction Of potential
anti-submarine forces, was said to be
to bring the question before
the full committee, if necessary, and
to argue that merchant ships may
carry guns withcu, becoming aux,'-
larry war essels, and thug subject to
attack without warning by subma-
rines.
Although the Shantung controver-
sy, meantime, remains in deadlock,
there was evident in both the Ameri-
IAN and British groups today belief
hat the meditation OF Secretary
Hughes and Arthur J. Balfour was al
most certain to bring the Japanese
md Chinese together again on this
ong-discussed issue. In American
quarters hope was expressed for an
agreement during the week.

Duoln, Jan. 9-Developments re-
garding the ratification of the Irish
treaty and the attitude of Eamonn
De Valera were commented on free
ly by today's papers.
The Freeman's journal political
correspondent writes: "The Dali is
now opened for settling up the Irish
free state, evacuating the British
army and taking owe rthe entire ma
chinery of government by represen-
tatives of the people. This is not GO
ing to be a simple matter, and it re-
quires the cooperation of every good
Irishman."
The attitude of the bulk of the peo-
pie Is already assured, but the policy
OF the minority in the Dali is much
less certain.
IF obstruction is continued and
forced to the utmost degree it will
mean embitterment of the situation
and may lead to a great deal of dis
order and unhappy consequences. It
Will achieve no other object, and will
disappear in the course of the next
two or three months when the people
will be called upon to elect the first
parliament of the Irish free state"
The Irish Independent says that the
treaty does not contain all that the
people had hoped, but ireland is Civ

"The situation" it adds, would be
more assuring if the majority had
that, if effect had been given to the
wishes of the people, it would have
been overwhelmingly for acceptance.
Let differences be dissolved in a con-
st1tutional way. Let us show the
world that in time of political crisis

in as constitutional a way as any
other civilized country, with freedom
Of speech and avoidance of violence of
any kind"
The Irish Times comments as fol-
lows:
"The treaty admits Ireland as full
partner into the greatest and most
liberal community of nations the
world has ever known, makes her
of her own fate and invites
Ter to concentrate upon the tasks of
rational progress and the develop
nent of the rich resources she has ex-
pended hitherto in the service of 9th
rs. If her progress is impeded, it
will be by the folloy of her own chill
lren, for she has no external enemy
n either hemisphere.
"If De Valera is a true patriot he
will bow to the national decision and
he cannot help at least he will not
hinder the work of the new admin
stration."
