Seek Sport Car as Clew
To Finding Murder Auto
Police Think Men in Machine
May Help Them Catch
PatroIman's Slayers

Through the newspapers, Captain
Arthur Carey. of the Homicide Squad,
hopes to get clew to the sport car
which was following the black touring
car that struck and killed Patrolman
Charles Hoffman on Manhattan Bridge
Sunday night. The black car and its
five occupants eluded all pursuers and
apparently no one has been found who
can identify it.
The latest development yesterday
was the statement Of Patrolman Ed
ward Delahey, of Traffic A, who said
he was standing at the Manhattan end
Of the bridge when the touring car
flashed past. In its wake came brown
sport car with two occupants who
yelled: THAT car just struck cop"
The car kept on in pursuit, and
Delahey commandeered another car and
followed them both, but got tangled in
traffic on Canal Street and lost sight
Of them. Captain Carey urges the two
men in the sport car to present them
selves at Police Headquarters and help
the police in finding the murder
machine.

O'Ryar, Pleads
For One Great
Transit System
Declares Commissions Plan
Is Only One That VIII
Insure Scent Fare and
Linking of All Lines
Answers Craig Criticism
Stresses Fact That Roads
Would Be Free of Pri-
vate and Political Control

The one practicable plan for insur-
ing for New York unified transit sys-
TEN, five-csnt fare and free transfers
is the Transit Commissions proposal
for the taking over Of all Of the ex-
listing lines and linking them up in
one great system, declared General
John T.. O'Ryan, member of the COM
mission, in answering the criticisms Of
Comptroller Craig, and pointing out
the inaccuracies in his address Monday
before the members Of the West End
Association.
In commenting on Co MI roller
Craig's statement that the transit pro-
posals Of the commission had been re-
jected by the municipal authorities be-
cause 1t sought to turn over the new
subway lines merely as extensions of
the Interborough and the B. r. T., GEN
sral Organ insisted they were mislead-
ing and erroneous. The joint board Of
control for New York's transit lines
as proposed by the commission, he de-
clared, would assure the city more
home rule than Mayor Hylan's plan.
Hooking up the proposed new lines
with existing lines was not for the pur-
pose of turning them over to the ex-
listing corporations for their benefit" he
might physically be a part Of q unified,
city-wide system, which we propose
shall be taken over in its entirety for
the benefit Of the people of the city.
What the city authorities apparently
propose is the piecemeal acquisition Of
parts only Of the existing rapid transit
lines, and their municipal operation.
This in itself would insure double
fares.
What Is needed is a unified city
wide system, including all facilities es-
sential for the convenience of the pub
lie, not operated for gain by private
corporations, as has been the case up
to the present time, nor yet by the mu-
nicipal authorities with political con-
troll of the system, but rather by expert
management under the supervision Of
public board Of control, one-half of
whom would represent the public and
the other half those whose property
had been acquired to constitute the
unified system. Universal transfers
over system thus unified would then
be entirely practicable. That our plan
provides for. We would thus have mu-
nicipal ownership and control without
the abuses Of political operation and
expert operation without the opportuni-
ties for abuse offered by private opera
tion for gain.
"Our conclusion was and is that
system of transportation in the City Of
New York in the hands of private cor
porations, acting primarily for gain, is
not in the interest of the public. But
we do not believe that municipal politi-
cal operation is the remedy, even if it
could be put into effect.
"The real solution lies in the adop-
tion Of the commissions plan"

"Mrs. FELTON, ceased to hold the title

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-If Mrs. w.

to be named to the Senate, takes her
seat next Monday as full-fedged SEN
ator she will do 30 only by special ar

Should Georgia officials, awaiting
completion of the official vote tabula-
ton, fail to issue an election certiti-
cate to Mr.. George in time to permit
him to take his seat when the extra
session begins on Monday, it is con-
sidered possible that Mrs. FELTON, may
be accepted by the Senate as entitled

Even in that case, however, the Senate

CARDINAL RATII
q
IS ELECTED
new PONIIFF
Election Comes on Eleventh
Ballot This Morning at
11.30 O'clock
POPE Plus XI
Is Understood to Favor RcconcIlia-
ton Between the Vatican and the
State.

Rome, Feb. 6.-Cardinal Ratti,
Archbishop of Milan, was today elect
ed Pope of the Roman Catholic
Church, on the seventh ballot, He IS
an Italian and is understood to favor
reconciliation between the Vatican and
the state.
Throughout the morning great
crowds had waited expectantly in ST.
Peters square. AS the noon hour
drew near all eyes were strained upon
the Sistine chapel chimney. Shortly
after 11.30 o'clock a thin wisp of
smoke emerged from the chimney:
There was a hush, for the general
expectation was that it would turn
to an oily black, the signal Of no cleo
ton. On the contrary it continued 4
light gray.
Immediately great shout went up
and the crowd made rush forward to
get as close as possible to the bal
cony upon which it is the ancient GUS
tom for the new pontitf to appear
and bless the assembled multitude.
Announcement was made that the
new pontiff had chosen the name of
Plus XI. and he will be known by this
title so long as he occupies the chair
of St. Peters. Each cardinal in the
concIavc is supposed to have chosen
in his own mind the name he will be
officially known by, so that, in the
event of election, he can make 1t
known at once.
1t is customary, Immediately after
the announcement Of an election for
three cardinals to lead the new SOW
ereign Pontitf into the roblng room
adjacent 10 the Sistine Chapel, where
three sets of papal robes are laid
out. One is CT large size, one medium
and one is small. The variations are
made so that no matter what the sta
ure OF the new sovereign Pontiir, he
will find the robes TO fit him.
In olden times there were elaborate
rites and ceremonies through which
the new Pope was conducted follow
ing his elevation to the mlghtiest and
holiest office of the Roman Church.
But of these the only that remains
is the coronation.
The new Pontiff will be crowned
within the next week, and cardinals
now enroute for Rome, who were un-
able to get here in time for the con-
clave election, will be at hand for the
elaborate coronation rites.

TWO Held As
SUSPECTS IN
TAYLOR MURDER
Movie Actor and Camera
Man Undergo Question
ing at Jail
SEEK DRUG PEDDLER
Woman's Pink Silk Nightdress is Re-
ported Missing From Taylor's Room
In Los Angeles.

Los Angeles, Feb. CA motion
picture actor and cameraman were
brought to the Los Angeles county
Jail here last night for questioning as
to their possible knowledge of clues
TO the murder of William Desmond
Taylor, film director.
The make up was still on the ac-
tors face when he arrived at the
Jail, indicating officers stated, that
the deputy sheriffs who had brought
him in were in great haste to learn
his story.
The men were located at a motion
picture studio in the Hollywood dis.
trct of Los Angeles, it was stated.
After they had been questioned
separately for two hours the officers
started back to Hollywood with the
actor, it was stated.
The trip back to Hollywood, it was
announced, was to give the actor an
opportunity to make good his decla-
ration to the deputies that if they
would escort him there he could ac-
count for his movements last We'd
nesday night, the night Taylor was
slain.
At that time, it was said. the cam
eraman was still held in Jail.
Another angle was the story told
by an associate of the dead director
that a former employe had been
heard to exclaim when he heard of
the Staying, "Bi!l Taylor got what
he deserved"
The investigation showed, the po>
lice said, that this man had been
employed by the. Famous Players
Laskky concern, working under Tay-
lor in a minor capacity.
One day he was drunk when he
went on duty. Taylor ordered him
removed from the place. The next
day the man returned. only to find
an order from Taylor that he should
not be admitted.
The police said they had begun a
search for him.
Search for a drug peddler, upon
whose trail the police said they were
getting warmer" and the absence
of woman's silken night dress. said
by Henry Peavey, colored houseman,
to be missing from the apartments
of Taylor, were the other principal
Developments of the day in the
search for his slayer.
The police were reticent as to the
details concerning the:1 search for
the man, a peddler VITO was believed
TO have sought patrors for his con.
traband drugs among the employees OF
motion picture studios, but they in
tmated their belief he had attempted
to make a delivery through Taylor
to an actress who found it difficult
to make her purchases in person.
The exact Importance OF the mis-
sing night dress, which was pink,
was not made plain. Peavey. how.
ever, was firm in his declaration that
it had a regular place in Tavlor's
apartments and equally firm in his
assertions that since his EMPLOYER
was slain he had been unable to find
it.
The search for Edward D. Sands,
| Taylor's former butler, likewise con-
tinues.
Checking of the various angles OF
the case among members Of the mo-
ton picture colony and other friends
and acUuaintanceS Of Taylor almos
invariably led to some mention OF
Sands name. according to detectives.
