Mystery Party
Passes Through
Negro Chef on Mitchell
Car Enjoys Publicity
Heavy Guard

Keen-eyed reporters verified
the old line that The colonel's lady
and Judy O"Grady are sisters
under their skins, for the closely
guarded private car of F.. T.
Stotesbury, attached to No. 63,
showed through its shining plate
glass windows the bowed shoul-
derS of 4 woman and the care
lined face of an anxious principal
in today's greatest mystery story,
as the long train came to Il
grinding stop in the station here
at noon today.
Newspaper men from Wash
ington and Philadelphia, with
those of the local press, waited
for the arrival Of the train from
the south, bearing the wife of j..
Kearsley Mitchell, whose friend
ship with the slain model, Dor
othy King, furnishes the head
lines of the day.
The car, which was attached to
the rear of an Atlantic Coast
Line train, had been the center
of interest at every stop on its
way from Florida to Washing
ton, but all efforts by reporters
to interview any of its occu-
pants had been rebuffed. The
only passenger of the million
aires car who appeared to en-
JOY the publicity was the grin
ming negro chef, whose row Of
worries, flashing in the sunlight
and the white of his spotless
coat, were high lights in the
darkened interior of the car.
A battery of cameras was turn
ed on the windows of the car and
a white haired man, rising from
a wicker chair near one of the
windows, raised a menacing hand
at the crowding reporters. A
frown of displeasure drew his
brows together as he turned with
a protective gesture to the bow
ed figure near him.
The party occupied private car
number ten Of the Philadelphia
and Reading Railroad and it wa
closely guarded by private de-
tectives and three burly negrc
porters as it drew into the sta
ton.

$4,000 Farm Hands
Are Still on Strike
IBy United Press)

London, March 27.-More than
$4,000 farm hands now are on
strike in Norfolk County, ac-
cording to today's tabulahons.
The strike has seriously curtail-
ed farm production and great
alarm is felt over possible
crop shortage.
The strikers, it is understood,
declined to make any exception
to the estate of King George To-
Gated at Sandringham and walked
out there just as in other places
of lesser magnitude.
This may result in the royal
family being without the usual
milk supply from Sandringham
and the seasons crop may be
greatly delayed if not lost.
The strikers are out against
reduction of wages.

Paris, March PA mourning
France honored Sarah Bernhardt
in death today as it had honored
her in life. And the entire world
Joined in the homage.
In the strange death chamber
at her home on Boulevard Parie,
the body lay peacefully, her face
relaxed and an expression of Sc
rene beauty on her face. Through
out the night, her SON. grand
children and most intimate reia-
tives kept the death watch.
Outside in the street great
crowds gathered, staring in SYM
pathy at the great brick walls
that harbored the crushed flow
er of France, their martyr Jean
Dare and the greatest actress OF
all time. They came at the rate
of $50 an hour to pay homage at
her shrine of death.
The funeral probably will be ar
ranged for Thursday.
Early this morning government
officials, cabinet members and
those of highest estate in the land
called at the residence. The sub
ject of state funeral was dis
cussed among the relatives. No
definite decision has been made.
Lasm, members of the family
started removing the movie seem

the body will be brought later.
1t will lie in state so that the
rich and poor, the distinguished
and unfortunate, friends and ad-

The rosewood casket which
Bernhardt had purchased years
ago in the wish that she might
be buried in it, was brought from
the upper floor of the house. 1t
is being lined with white silk.
In it she had posed for death
25 years ago.
In the subways and boulevard

At the Department of Justice
today, it was said no instructions
had been received from President

quiry instituted several weeks
ago was progressing satisfac-

Likewise there was no infor-

It became known today that
the government has some infor-

have been made by the legislative
service that plans were framed
at this meeting to drive up su-

finally prevailed and she died at

Threaten Daugherty.
(By United Press.)


New York, March 27.-Asaist-
ant District Attorney Fred fe-
cora stated today. he will sum-
mon to his Office, in connection
with investigation of the muir
der of Dorothy King, Draper W.
Daugherty, son of Harry NJ.
Daugherty, Attorney General "f
the, yIrited States.
The same gang of blackmallers
that killed Miss King is report
ed to have threatened Daugherty
although he had done nothing
which he feared to have revealed.
They told him they would ex-
pose his friendship for the girl
according to statements attrlbut-
ed to him in New York papers
today. Daugherty, having moth
ing to conceal, defed them ard
offered to give the authort'es
any information in his possession,
"My only information concern
ing Mr.. Draper Daugherty's con-
nection with the case comes from
the press" Pecora said, "but if
| can locate Mr.. Daugherty today,
/ shall most certainly ask him
to come to my Office for a con-
ference"
At the Elks Club Daugherty's
New York address, the attorney
Generals son could not be found.
Interest in the case which has
clung about the person of j.
Kearsley Mitchell, Philadelphia
millionaire friend and patron of
the murdered artists model wild
ened today to include the meet
ing between Daugherty and the
District Attorney.
Pecora has no official knowledge
that Daugherty was even ac-
ouainted with the girl, all he has
to go on are published articles
and a purported interview with
the Attorney Generals son in
which he is quoted as saying
frankly that he knew Miss King,
