blood was found on the road near
Gladstone.
A thorough autopsy preceded
the inquest. 1t disclosed only one
wound ON Bowker's body, that
made by bullet which entered
the head near the base OF the
brain on the right side and ranged
upward straight through the
brain, emerging near the center
of the forehead just above the
edge of the left eye.
Examining physicians said the
wound was made by soft-nosed
ballet of 38-caliber or larger.
Portland police officers at the au-
topsy said they thought it was
made by 45-caliber bullet. The
pistol Hecker carried the night OF
Bowker's disappearance was a 4b
automatic. In one of Bowker's
pockets were found nine soft
nosed cartridges OF 38 caliber.
Brother Indentifies Body.
The body was identified by AL
bert Bowker, brother of the dead
man, and Mrs. Katherine Coxt of
256 Stafford street, Portland, who
kept house for the Bowker broth
ers. The body ysss in hop sack,
just as Russell Hecker had said it
would be.
There were no stones in the
sack, however, but there was a
hole in the sack from which 1t is
possible some stones might have
fallen. II Hecker placed any
stones In the sack, as he told Chief
jenkins of Portland the day the
search was started here, they must
have been few int number.
If Bowker had $700 in a shoe,
as his brother believed, it is mys-
terry what happened to 1t. Both
shoes were on the body and the
socks were held up by supporters.
There was no indication whatever
that shoes or socks had been dis
turbed before the body was toss
ed into the river.
No money whatever was found
on the body. If Bowker carried
$14OO, as his brother said, half of
the amount is missing. This in
dicates, in the mind of some offi-
GERS working on the case, that
someone other than Hecker was
involved in the killing and got
half the money.
No powder marks or burns OF
any kind were found on the body.
The physician made a very care
full search for powder marks, be-
cause officers have worked on the
theory, which they say the ap-
pearance of glood in the car sup
ports, that Bowker was killed
while riding in the front seat. II
Hecker drove the car and was the
murderer, he must have fired at
close range. Officers have declared
that. while the investigation has
disclosed much damaging evidence
that Hecker was the murderer,
the absence Of powder marks is a
point in his favor. indicating that
someone else was involved and
might have fired the fatal shot.

RAILROADS DENY
CHARGE OF WASTE

WASHINGTON, April 29.-Charg-
es of mismanagement and 1netfl-
cheney made against the railroad ex-
ecutiyes by Frank J. Warne, repre-
sentative of train employees or
carnations, were denied today be-
fore the senate interstate commerce
commission by c. S. Duncan, an
economist and statistician, appear
ing for the association Of railway
executives.
Mr.. Duncan declared that not only
were Mr.. Warne's accusations I'M
founded in many instances, but ne
declared that the union witness nao
made repeated misstatements OF 1act
and drawn illogical conclusions.
Regarding the railroad admlnlstra-
TONS policy, Mr.. Duncan said Mr.
Warne had misstated the facts when
he said that "the governmental pol
icy as to revenue was not based upon
economic principles Of having earn
ings exceed or even meet expenses
and that general taxation from the
United States treasury was depended
upon to meet any resulting deficits.
Mr.. Duncan said it was the policy
of Directors General McAdoo and
Hines to make revenues pay expens-
es, including rentals.
''It failed because its Judgment
was in error AS to costs, the largest
single element Of which was wages"
said Mr.. Duncan. The striking in:
crease in operating expenses in 1920
does not represent an orgy OF ex-
penditures at government expense
but an avalanche of wages at the
railroads eXpenSe. -

Doctors Say Radio
Hastens Recovery
OF Their Patients

SICK!
Get a radio receiving set to occu-
py the weary hours of lying in bed
and cheer you over the bad spells.
That's what many a hospital pa
tient is doing nowadays, and doc
tors say radio has been helping them
cure their leases"
There's Lester Picker, sixteen
year-old high school boy, of San Di-
ego, Cal. He's a licensed amateur.
His station is 6AJH.
But he has to lie fiat on his back
while working his station. He fell
while erecting his aerial mast and
now he is bedridden with a broken
back. His physician says the set
which his friends finished for him is
going to speed his cure considerably.
Traffic Officer Jim Flynn, Of New
ark, N. j., has been in bed since an
accident year ago. But he is help
ing himself get well by listening in
one the concerts broadcast from the
powerful station in Newark.
The remarkable feature about
Flynn's set is that the bed spring he
lies on is his antenna. He resorted
to this means of catching the sig
nails when hospital rules forbade his
having an outdoor aerial erected.

Bulletin Tells How
To Use Crystal SET
With AmpGfiers

+ The department of commerce has
inst released an advance bulletin
heralding some radio revelations
that will provide food for thought
for radio folks for a long time to
come. Among other things it sounds
the wash OUT signal for storage
batteries, which, the circular says,
is the most expensive part OF the
homemade receiving set. 1t IS no"
possible also, according to the bu-
reau of standards Of the department
of commerce, to use a crystal detec-
tor in conjunction with three stages
of radio frequency and two stages
of radio frequency ampl1flcatlon.
The receiving sets which are now
used in receiving radio signals, con-
certs, news and music over a dis
lance Of hundreds of miles, require
storage batteries to light the fila
ments of their vacuum tubes. The
batteries must be charged from time
to time and they are unwieldy, heavy
and require constant attention. The
acid in them is always a source OF
danger and damage to the household
and altogether it constitutes a gen
eral drawback to the use Of radio
sets.
The receiver developed by the bu-
reau Of standards makes possible a
direct connection with the ordinary
house lighting circuit. The set cali
be used with any type antenna, from
the flat top to the loop, and by a
special connection it is even possible
to use the electric light wires them
selves as the antenna.
~sn,4r
TALLY of an amplifier, with minor
auxiliary parts. A few details Of
the amplifier, which utilities CO.
cycle current supply for both fila
ments and plates Of the vacuum
tubes, are given as follows:
This amplifier has three stages of
radio frequency and two stages of
audio frequency and uses a crystal
detector. The 60-cycle current when
used in a ordinary amplifier circuit
inducts strong 60-cycle note which
produces serious interference. This
has been almost eliminated by bal
ancing resistances grid condenser
and special grid leaks of comparative
low resistance; the utilization of a
telephone transformer in the output
circuit and a crystal detector instead
of vacuum tube detector. The re-
suits are exceptional and there is
only a slight residual hum which is
not Objectionable.
The amplification obtained with al
ternating current is as good as that
obtained with the same amplifier
used with direct current. The COM
plete unit is light, compact and port
able.
Full details of construction, with
circuit diagrams and exact values of
condensers and resisterI and Undue
tors will be found in this descriptive
bulletin, which will be issued by the
bureau Of standards SO netime in the
early part of May and which can
be obtained from the superintend-
ent Of public documents, Washing.

TWO CHARGED WITH
MURDER OF BRUNEN

MOUNT HOLLY, N. j., April 90
With two men in Jail here charged
with the murder of John T. Brunen
circus owner, who was shot to death
at his home at Riverside, N. J., the
night of March 10, County Detec-
tive Ellis Parker tonight said the
inquiry is continuing into an al
legged conspiracy to do away with
Brunen.
Harry c. Mohr, brother-in-law of
the slain man, and Charles M. Pow
ell, former employee of Brunen's cir
Gus, were formally charged with the
crime today, after Mohr was arrest
ed in Camden. Powell confessed. &C
cording to Burlington county author
tiles, that Mohr had urged him Tor
months to kill Brunen.
According to the alleged COMES
sion, Mohr gave Powell money to
buy the shotgun and shells with
which to kill Brunen, and drove
him to tn ecircus mans home the
night of the shooting. After he mao
shot Brunen, as the latter sat near
a closed window, reading, he escaped
III the CIOSSo SciL VI ~ III
Powells confession states.
Mohr had given him money sew
eral times in the four months pre-.
ceding the shooting of Brunen and
had promised him $1,000 when ne
had shot the circus man, Powell as
serts.
"He lies, Parker, he lies, Mohr
said after County Detective Parker
had finished reading Powells long
confession. The accused man ola
not interrupt the reading OF the
lengthy document attributed 10
VINE nconfronted with circumstan-
tiaI evidence which the authorizes
said tended to confirm the confes-
sion, Mohr reiterated his denial that
he had anything to do with the
death of his brother-in-law. After
an hours questioning he was re
turned to his cell. He remained
calm throughout.
1--WE do not know yet the full eX-
tent of this case" declared ~. H.
kelsey, Burlington county pfosecu-
tor. "Mohr, above all persons, was
the least suspected in the beginning
of the investigation. He was trust
ed by Brunen, who in one of his
letters referred to MIN as one o1 tHe
: few persons who did not want to
take his life. The motive of the
crime is not entirely clear to US
yet"
Authorities refused to make any
comment on reports that other ar
rests would follow.
Powell has been in the Mount
Holly Jail since April 6, but his ar
rest was kept secret by the au-
thorities. He was subjected to con-
slant questioning, according to
County Detective Parker, and con
fronted frequently with bits of eVl
dence gathered in connection with
Brunen's death. He has identlfled
pieces of a shotgun found in a
creek following the shooting, as
the gun with which Brunen was
killed, according to Parker.
HE said he (Mohr) wanted to Kill
Brunen because he was killing his
mother and sister," the confession
quotes Powell as saying.
Powell formerly was a side show
concessionaire with Brunen's show
but was discharged by Brunen.
Mohr, a brother of Brunen's wife,
Mrs. Doris Brunch, has been man
aging the affairs Of the circus since
the owner was slain.

RY THEODORE TILLER

WASHINGTON, April 30.-Mem-
bers of the Georgia delegation in the
house are unanimously in sympathy
with resolutions recently adopted in
