TYPEWRITER SOUGHT IN NEW YORK PROBE
 OF POISON LETTERS

NEW YORK, May 12.-Officials are now looking for an old model Oliver typewriter. on which they believe the prominent New York men and women during the last 10 years were writ ten All of the 147 letters which have been turned over to. District Attor- ney Joab H. BantCn and his aides appear to have been written on the same machine.
 The possibility that they were all the work of a woman who was moti- vated by jealousy has been advanced as a theory by the defendants of George Maxwell president of the American Society of Composers. Au- thors and Publishers, who is under indictment fer third degree forgery and the sending of scurrilous letters in connection with the case. Detec- tives are following this thread.
 Eight middle aged women. all of whom are married, and one debutante are said to figure in the letters. The cases were chronological, none or them overlapping.
 Action upon request for extradi- titn for Maxwell has been stopped by Mir Banton. Nathan Burkan, attor- ney for Maxwell, has agreed to pro- duce the defendant whenever he is wanted. Maxwell is said to be in Eu- rope at present.
 Burkan declares that the charges against his client are preposterous. As an alibi he offers the fact that 40 of the letters in the authorities hands were received by Maxwell A physician will testify, he says, that his client was sick at the tmic they were received and could not have written them himself.

.E|NSTEIN THEORYIS EXPLAINED IN FILMS BY EVERYDAY SIGHTS Mysteries Of Laws Of Motion, Space, Time And Light
 Cleared Up

BERLIN. May 12-(By Associated s.)-Hard pressed to set the ordi- nary layman right on the funda- mentals and practical significance of Professor Einstein's relativity theory. German scientists have sought the motion picture as a vehicle for a popular explanation. The first show ing, a new film especially made for the purpose. was given a few days ago at the Berlin Polytechnic 1nsti- ute.
 life were thrown on the screen to illustrate the application of the mathematical and physical laws leading up to and governing Fin stein's theory. The film shows how to man in a boat fixed object ashore seems to be moving while an observer on land, looking at the same object. realizes that it is sta tionary and that the boat is in mo- tion.
 The picture also explains sraphi- caily why a ship seen from dis tance. appears to come up out of the water. Another section of the film from moving train when it is hurl- ed either in the direction of the trains motion or oppositely.
 Most of the pictures are actual photographs, but many animated graphs and sketches as wei con- tribute toward clearing up the mys teries of the laws of motion. space, time and light.
 The film, arranged so as to account for the relaxation of these various phenomena to Einstein's theory, has been found to be more popular and far simpler than the rows of intri- cate figures and formulae with which the lay student of relativity has heretofore been obliged to grapple.

 Cooperation of shippers is being sought in the last two items of this program to obtain the greatest pos sible employment of the equipment as now possessed. Meanwhile, of course. car and locomotive orders have increased tremendously this year over last.
 The percentage of cars awaiting repair on all railroads was given as s.s per cent on March IS, the latest date for which figures gre available, Indications of the boost in freight traffic are given by the Pennsylva- mia road, which announces move ment of 10 per cent more revenue freight thus far this year than in the same period in 1920; 34 per cent over 1921. and IS per cent over 1922.
 The importance of carrying out the program of economy ana reha- : bilitation was recently pointed out by Secretary of Commerce Hoover III a letter to national and state trade associations, in which he said that the full and smooth movement or all tho productivity of tho country would be the greatest contribution that could be made at the present time in checking imitation or ln- crease in price levels.
 Unity of action between the snip per and the railways would make greater contribution to continued prosperity and full employment than anything I know of."

 Effective League Possible.
 I do not believe that 1t would be better to scrap the whole machine. l am inclined to think that, unfor- tunate and disastrous even as the infancy of the league has proved to be, there is nevertheless sufficient of what is valuable in the covenant for men who are sincere in their desire for the success of this great expedient to build eventually a real and effective league.
 It is to be feared that there is little prospect of the institution of a su- preme body, such as the vast majority of peace-loving people want, until in one country at least men are in con trol of government who have deep and heartfelt conviction that civili- zatioh can only be saved and human ity retrieved from ruin by the final and wholesale abolition of the bloody barbaraities of warfare.
