Murder Motive
Still Unsolved

A thorough search of the under
world of the city for the murderer Of
Mrs. / lillian Northrop, whose dead
body was found lying in a bed in her
apartments Monday morning was still
progress by the police today. At press
hour, the search had proved futile,
and whatever hope the police had of
unearth:ne a clue that might lead to
to the arrest of the murderer is now
believed to have been shattered
The motive for the brutal murder
still continues to BATTLE the police
They have narrowed the case down to
question where they are sure that it
was. either a person who went there
for Immoral purposes, or one who went
there with the intention of robbing
the aged woman Which of these
theories is right is as much a mystery
as the identity of the murderer him
self as some of the points that were
brought out, through the investigation
that would tend to show that robbery
was the motive, are imIn ediately dis
credited when the other theory is adj

Field Marshal Henri Wilson Assnssinated
Woman, President?
Sure, Mrs. Belmont

Port Washington, n. Y, June az
"a woman president of the United
States? Certainly! Why not?' Mrs.
o. H. P. Belmont, president of thu
National Woman's Party was talking
politics in her home, Beacon Towers"
today. There is nothing at all extra
ordinary about that Mrs. Belmont
continued.
Sex" she said, has nothing what
soever to do with it and should not
even enter into consideration. It
makes no difference whether it be man
or woman, as long as the right per-
son is in the right place. Ability and
Integrity should be the qualifications
which should place the right woman
or man in the right position. All else
makes not even a particle of differ
ence."

baby - Hippo

Bridgeport kiddies were thrilled
this morning at the sight of a real

The hippo Is expected to reach
Springfield, where it will rest for the

A monster entert ainment has been
planned for Saturday afternoon and
evening in Boston, I nd the interest
with which the event is heralded may
be seen by the fact that the Boston

Ulster it had a contrary reception in
southern Ireland.
The former British chief of staff

Warships Sacrificed to
A sure Better Warships

London, Aug. ll.-Having found
no buyers for thc great group of bat
.lcships which the Washington Con-
'crcncc dccrecd should be scrapped
Great Britain is using the monsters
rs targets for he gunners of the
Royal Navy and the bombers of the
Royal Air Force. Like the United
States and France, this country has
dozen -pr,-piore specially fine cruis-
H. r leaehhme :. drcadnoughts which

Thunderer, Monarch, Conquerer.
Colossus, Lion, Ajax, Centurion,
King George ", Princess Royal, Erin
and Orion, monsters of 10000 or more
tons, once the pride of the Gaven
Scqs, are all doomed. Costing more
than $15,OOO,OOO originally, junk
dealers have offered the government
only $4,000 apiece for them.
The navy is now engaged in 4
series of target tests on the famous
battc$hirs Agamemnon and Superb,
whi,h, like their sister ships, are to
find their graves in the ocean at the
hardS of the gunnerS and jack tars
that once manned them. The adj
miIaity is trying by thcs' tests to
determine how direct hit can be
prevented from passing from the tur-
ret down the ammunition tube.
In the battle of Jutland, Invinc;blc,
Iadcfatigablc and Queen Mary blew
MP because Of flash passing from
he ammunition tubes to the maga-
ines below. So Superb is now in
the English Channel and is being
,hcllcd at Furnishing ranges to sec
whether or not the flash of explosion
pSascs down TO the powder and shell
magazines under given conditions.
Agamemnon, too, may soon need
a successor. She is moving target,
more difficult to hit than Superb,
which is stationary. She is propelled
hy oil. The supply of oil is turned
on, her engines are started, and the
engineers flee from her bcforcS she
Gathers too much headway. Her
speed as well us her steering appara-
tuS are controlled by wireless in an
other ship.
The most exciting part Of these
tests is that played by the sloop Snap
d.a"on. She is responsible for tax
ing accurate motion pictures of what
happens to the target as the result
Of the shots. At times she runs the
risk Of being hit by the monster
armor-piercing projectiles as well as
being rammcd by the 10000 ton
Agamcmnon.
