Thief Left Trail
of Fifty Dollar
Bills Along Trail
(By Associated Pressl

Philadelphia, March S-Fifty dollar
bills used in his flight from this CITY
have furnished the principal clues in
the nationwide search for Walter A.
Unger, wanted in connection with the
disappearance of securities worth ap-
proximately $4,000 from the Dr.
Thomas W. Evans dental institute and
museum fund of the University of
Pennsylvania. Most of the money is
believed by the authorities to have
been lost in stock speculation.
Private. detectives working on the
case said today that Unger who was
assistant treasurer of the fund had
drawn $4,000 belonging to the dem
tai institute the day he disappeared
and that he had gotten the cashier of
the bank to give i'm the entire amount
in bills of the fifty dollar denomina-
ton. Most of them were new bills,
which the detectives said, had aided
them materially in their hunt.

City Tax Books
to Remain Open
Until May First

On motion of Alderman Smith at
last nights meeting of council the tax
books, which technically closed on
March l were ordered kept open until
May 1 and tax payers can pay their
taxes up to that date without suffer-
ing penalties.
Alderman Smith said that he be-
lieved it would be mercy to some
to keep the books open until after the
state and county books closed, as
these would arbitrarily close on April
1. He said the penalties are SO small
that the city would realize little ad-
ditional revenue and might collect a
considerable sum now that would not
be paid until the last minute if pen
slties had to be paid anyway, but that
if there are no penalties many might
come forward now and pay up.
The treasurer's report showed that
the balance in bank is about $125, ex-
elusive of the sinking fund, which
amounts to about s25,000. The col
lections up to March 1, the time the
books were closed were $S3, 3,6S7.s5 out
of levy of $4,000.

klans1nan Carried
Officer to Woman
Held for Murder
(By Associated Press)

DeLand, March 8.-When Assist
ant Attorney R. S. Mott received a
Ku Klux Klan letter, dated March 8,
he did exactly as the latter directed,
which resulted in the finding of i'm
portant evidence as to the death of
William A. Shields, who was killed
February 6 by an ambushed party,
as he was going home with his wife
late at night.
The following is copy of the let
ter from the klansmen received by
Attorney Mott:
"Orlando, Fla, March 8.
"Mr. R. S. Mott, Assistant Attorney,
DeLand, Fla.
"Dear Sir: If you want to get at
what purports to be the facts in the
Shields murder case, and you are
willing to abide by the following in
structions, we can place you in posi-
tion to get same from one who
should know: Be in the lobby of the
San Juan hotel in Orlando, on Sun
day at 1890 promptly. There will
be one who is a stranger to you who
will direct you and whose directions
you must follow in order that you
may get these facts. Have no hesi-
tation in following him. You must
keep this confidential and must be
alone. You will be at liberty to use
this information that you will pro-
cure, but not before same is placed
in your hands.
(Signed) Committee of Investiga-
ton, Ku Klux Klan."
As result of this lead, Mott went
to Orlando and was taken to st.
Cloud, Fla, where he appeared be-
fore Mrs. Shields, widow of the man
killed.
Upon being questioned, she made
a stateemnt, but this statement was
so inconsistent with previous state
ments made by her that it was
thought advisable by Attorney Mott
to secure a warrant, which was done,
and she was taken into custody.
Mrs. Shields claims that Pete
Smith, a negro whom her husband
had had several quarrels with, had
killed the deceased and then at
tackled her, and that she tainted,
When she came to, she claims, she
found that she had walked, in her
faint, to the house of friend.
1t is contended by Smith, who is
being held in Jail here, that it is all
frameup.
Mr.. Shields had considerable life
insurance and this is thought to be
the goal of the killing.

PRESIDENT HARDING
TO COME To FLORIDA
FOR A FISHING TRIP
(By Associated Press)

st. Augustine, March S.-Accord-
ingt o kilograms received and in
formation reaching here President
Harding and his party will leave
Washington tonight by special train,
and is due to reach st. Augustine
shortly after noon on Thursday.
1t is understood that the president
and party will spend a short while
in st. Augustine, and then leave here
for a fishing cruise down the coast
to return to st. Augustine for prob
ably a weeks visit little later on.
While detailed plans of the trip
have not yet been made known, nor
the itinerary announced, it is thought
that President Harding when he
reaches here will stop over long
enough for a few rounds of golf,
over one of his favorite courses, the
St. Augustine links, where he enjoy
ed his games for several weeks last
season before he was ipaugurated,
as he has frequently expressed his
earnest desire to play over this Won
derful course again this season.
1t is reported that President Har-
ding will be accompanied by Mrs.
Harding, Senator Edge, of New
Jersey! Under-Secretary of State
Fletcher, Attorney General Daugher-
ty and perhaps several others.
Needless to say, the president will
be right royalty received when he
arrives in this city, where so many
people recall the pleasant times had
here last February when the presi-
dent spena several weeks just prior
to his Inauguration, and where so
many important conferences were
held at the Hotel Ponce de Leon.

FIGHT OVER TREATY
IN PACIFIC GETTING
UNDER WAY IN SENATE
(By Associated Press)

Washington, March 8.-With oppo-
sition forces organizing for the fray,
the senate fight over the four-power
Pacific treaty promised to get into
full swing today when Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts, the republican
leader, delivered his speech in de-
fense of the pact. Senator Robin
son, democrat, Arkansas, planned to
follow Senator Lodge in an address
favoring his two proposed reserva-
tions to the treaty, and it appeared
likely that general discussion
would develop terminating the pre-
liminary lull which has marked the
treaty debate thus far. s..
That opponents are organizing to
press their fight on the treaty was
assured today through the knowledge
that a definite plan of action, has
been agreed upon after consultation
by Senator Borah, republican, Idaho,
and some of the friends of former
President Wilson. Just how far the
sentiments of Mr.. Wilson himself
may be reflected in the understand
ing thus effected by the "irreconcil-
able" leader, or how far-reaching the
understanding may be, has not been
revealed. One of those from whom
the Idaho senator is understood to
have sought the views of the former
president is Bernard M. Barue, of
New York. Mr.. Borah also is said
to have been in correspondence on
the subject with Norman Davis, for
mer under-secretary of state.
The Idaho senator in addition is
known to have been in constant con-
ference with the democratic senators
who are regarded as followers of the
former president, who in turn have
conferred with the senators of their
party who have been inclined to fol
low the leadership of Senator Under.

ence treaties. Just what alignment
may result from this, however, ap.

of
Capt. Randolph
Laid on Table

The resignation of Captain J. II.
Randolph as city engineer was ten
dered to council last night, and after
discussion was ordered laid on the
table for the present, or until the
special meeting this afternoon.
In his resignation Captain Ran
dolph said that inasmuch as council
is unable to assure him of contin-
uance of his services, with the ipcom-
ing council near at hand, and as he
has an offer as city manager for an
east coast city, he deemed it best to
leave the service of the city. He stat
ed, however, that due to the impor-
tance of the forthcoming merger of
the two water systems, with which
he is familiar in every detail, he will
be glad to render whatever service
he can in engineering this matter.
Alderman Pearce, in making the
motion that the resignation be laid
on the table, said that he disliked to
hear the reading of the resignation,
as he considered Captain Randolph
the most valuable employee the city
has ever had He spoke of the diff
ficulty of getting man to take his
place in an emergency such as is
now facing the city, and asked that

signed on December 26, last, has
been summoned to appear before a

tuition.

sided over by Premier Poincare, who
will sit as a foreign minister, and
