Police Seek Card PLAYERS
In Killing of Noisy One
Body of Brooklyn Man Found
on Corner Under Gay
Comforter

Ccntettio Melitto was a noisy card
PLAYER, yoicing frequent ,cad obiec-
tions to the plays of his associates in
nightly games of twenty seven" But
Contettio was a silent figure shroud-
ed in 3 gayly figured comforter when
Policeman Edward Conners stumbled
over him early yesterday at the corner
of Harrison and Hicks streets. Some
one had fred pistol bullet into his
back between the shoulder blades.
The police believe Melitto was killed
by some one who was insulted by him
in a card game, and they are seeking
those with whom he played Monday
night. The Investigators are sure the
man was killed somewhere not far from
where his body had been deposited
All marks by which he could be
identified had been removed from the
dead mans clothing, but the police
learend, after making many inquiries
that Melitto was the roommate Of AL
fred Russo, of 103 De Graw Street,
Brooklyn. Russo agreed that it was
the body of his roommate, but told the
police he had not the faintest idea why
any one should have killed him.
The shooting of Melitto is the third
murder to occur III that secti on of
Brooklyn iii as many months. None
has been solved.

Bonus Sidetracked
AS Conferees Plan
To Expedite Tariff
Delay Will Not Result,
However, Say Leaders,
Who Hope for Reports
ON Both Bills ait Once

From The Trtbune's Washington Bnredu
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-More delay
fell to the lot of the much-buf7eted
soldiers bonus bill to-day.
Senate and House conferees met at
the instance of Senator McCurnber,
chairman of the Finance Committee, to
consider the bill, but instead Of taking
it up it was decided by q vote of s to 8
to hold it back until the conference
report on the tariff measure was
agreed to.
Chairman Fordney of the Ways and
Means Committee insisted when the
conference met that there be decision
on whether to take up the bonus meas-
ure and displace the tariff temporarily
or TO go ahead and try to complete the
tariff conference report.
Representatives Fordney, Green and
Longworth, Republicans, and Garner,
Democrat, and Senator Smoot voted to
proceed with the tariff. Senator Nc
Cumber, Republican, and Senator'S Sim
mons and Walsh, of Massachusetts,.
Democrats, voted to take up the bonus.
Senator Mclean, of Connecticut, and
Representative Miller, OF Mississippi,
were absent.
Various reports were current as to
what the action of the conferees meant,
but the House members who voted for
holding back the bonus deaied that it
pcrtended any undue delay for that
measure. They said they wanted to
meet the wishes of large number Of
House members that the tariff con-
ference report and the bonus confer
ence report be brought out at the same
time in order that absentees, who are
coming back to Washington to consider
these reports, may not be obliged to
make two trips. 1t was chiefly mat
ter Of convenience to House members,
they said, and would not entail much
delay, inasmuch as an agreement on
the tariff bill is forecasted in the next
several days. In some quarters there
was comment to the effect the delay on
the bonus would make it possible to
bring increased pressure on the Presi-
dent to sign the measure.
Chairman Fordney denied the bill
would be long delayed. "It will mean
practically no delay for the bonus" he
said. "We hope to arrive at an agree

Senator Calder was apprised Of the
report that Justice Tompkins was TO

should prefer not to talk politics at all
for publication. But you may quote
me, if you wish. as believing that the
demand within the party is so general
and so insistent for Governor Miller's
denomination that there seems to be no
way for him to avoid it. even if his.
wishes run along other lines.
"His party wants him and demands
him. Under Governor Miller's guild
ance New York State has pointed the
way for all the rest of the nation in the
fuel emergency. What New York has
done by his advice is absolutely all that
and the very best that government
could do to meet the emergency. The
rest of the nation is watching and fol-
lowing the lead that Miller has put
New York into.

Knock Taken From Auto Motor:
Gasoline Will Go Twice as Far
gpeesar Dispatch 20 The tribune

Special Dispatch to The Tribune
PITTSBURGH, Sept. o. Successful
experiments that will increase the eff
cheney of gas engine operation and
promise to give the automobile driver
twice as many miles per gallon of
gasoline as are now possibls. were de-
scribed here by Thomas Midgely jr.
and r. A. Boyd, OF the General Mo-
tors Research Corporation, Of Dayton,
Ohio.
After six years of experimenting at
the Dayton laboratories an 'santi-
knock" compound has been developed
which will permit changes in the e.
sign of gas engines that will result in
material increase in the efficiency Of
these machines.
Several chemical compounds have
been developed which will accomplish
these results, the most satisfactory be-
ing @diethyl selenide" and atetraethyl
Iead.n These have not yet been placed
on the market, Mr.. Midgley said, as the
full benefit cannot be derived from
New-York tribune., 1922-09-06


them until gas engines have been re-
designed to operate at higher COM
preston.
The efficiency of the automobile has
been limited heretofore by the fact that
gas engines. when operated at extremes
ly high compressions, develop gaseous
detonation, which the motorist knows
as knock" in his engine, according
TO Mr.. Midgely. This knock in en-
gines of present design is due largely
to carbon deposits inside the cylinders
and to lime deposits in the water
jacket surrounding the cylinders.
A high compression gas engine in
stalled at the convention demonstrated
the possibilities of the new compound.
The engine was started and operated
with ordinary gasoline and a decided
knock" was audible throughout the
hall.
Within the next two or three years.
Mr.. Midgley concluded, sit is expected
that gas engine design will have been
changed to get the benefit Of the new
discovery and the compounds will be
on the market eeonmersially.s
