JUDGE DECLINES
TO ARREST F|RP0
Refuses to Issue Warrant for
Fighter, Which Mould
Prevent Bout.
By the Associated Press.


NEWARK, n. j.. September IL
Federal Judge Runyan today refused
to issue a warrant for the arrest of
Luis Angel Firpo.
Application for the warrant was
made yesterday by Herbert Clarke
Gibson. counsel for a Jersey City
religious and civic society, who
charged Firpo, who meets Harry
Wills in a bout tonight, with trans
porting a woman from Atlantic City
to New York shortly before his
championship battle with Jack
Dempsey year ago.
Judge Runyan based his refusal on
the grounds of lack of evidence.
Several affidavits submitted did not
prove the charge made. Judge Run
yam held. One. signed by Guillermo
Widener, Firpo's former secretary,
showed that Firpo had lived in
Atlantic City with the woman in
question, he said, but did not show
that she had been transported.
II am deeply impressed" Judge
Runyan said. with the belief that
the real object of the application is
to prevent the scheduled contest.
granting even that a perfectly valid
prima facia case had been presented,
should have hesitated to lend the
power and dignity of the district
court to a proceeding which, although
doubtlessly conceived in entire sim
cerity of purpose, has for its object
the use of the processes of court as
a means of accomplishing interfer-
ence with the lawful function of the
State of New Jersey as expressed and
allowed by it's statutes

Investigators Assured That En-
trance Was Not Forced From
Outside.
Ry tho Associated Press.


NEW YORK. September 1.-THE
mystery of the disappearance of $780,
600 worth of gems from the Long
Island home of J. S. Cosden, where
Lord and Lady Mountbatten are
guests, deepened today. Investigators
are convinced that entry was not
forced from the outside of the build
ing. They reached this conclusion
after they had made minute examina-
alton of the premises and had ques-
toned the 20 servants employed in
the Cosden household.
The investigators were more puz-
zled than ever in their search for a
clue when they learned that a stew
ard employed by Mr.. Cosden had been
on duty on the ground floor Of the
house throughout Monday night,
when the gems disappeared. In ad-
dition there were guards on duty con-
tate.
The robbery has not yet been re-
ported to the police.
Articles stolen from Mrs. Cosden, it
was learned today. included a black
pearl ring, valued at $4,000; a pink
pearl ring, valued at $4,000, and a
pigeon blood ruby ring, valued at up
ward of 100000. Lady Mountbatten
lost rings and bracelets valued at
$4,000.
On the night of the theft the Co.'S
dens and their guests. including Mrs.
Richard B. Norton, who came to this
country as a member of the party Of
the Prince Of Wales. attended a dance
at the Glen Cove home of F. Am
brose Clark. They returned home
about o'clock in the morning, the
women leaving most of their tewelry
| lying on the tops Of dressing tables.
The next morning the jewelry had
disappeared.

GIVES HER BLOOD.
TO DYING PATIENT
Daughter of Victor Berger,
Doctor, Volunteers to Save
Man Who SIashed Throat.

A pint of blood from the veins of
DR.. Elsa Berger, daughter of Repre-
sentative Victor L. Berger of Wis
consin, at Emergency Hospital today.
brought James c. Skelly, 31-year- old
accountant back from the shadows
of death and gave physicians a chance
to save the life he had endeavored to
take a short time previously by
drawing a razor across his throat.
Skelly was brought to the hospital
from his home at 1919 Tenth street,
with a wound from ear to ear across
his throat. He was sinking rapidly
from loss of blood. Need for heroic
measures was urgent.
DR.. Berger Immediately volunteered
for a TRANSMISSION. Within a quarter
OF an hour after the arrival of Skelly
at the hospital blood was rushing
from DR.. Berger's veins into the
veins of Skelly, giving them new
strength, and 90 stitches had been
taken in the throat wound by physi-
clans, closing the aperture which
threatened to allow the man to bleed
to death.
Condition Still Critical.
Skelly's condition still is critical.
1t is believed, however, that the crisis
has been passed, through the aid of
DR.. Berger. and although the chance
for recovery is slight. physicians look
optimistically upon the case.
Skelly's wife and little daughter, a
toddling youngster of years, were
in a room adjoining the bathroom,
where shortly before 9 o'clock this
morning he drew the razor across his
throat. Mrs. Skelly rushed to the
bathroom when she heard a thud. and
her shrieks aroused Charles N. West,
tenant of the house, who was asleep
on the third floor.
He came downstairs and found Mrs.
Skelly lying prone on the floor of her
bedroom, where she had collapsed
after returning to the baby.
West rushed down, and meanwhile
James H. Fisher, Mrs. Skelly's IA
ther, who had been awaiting Skelly
outside the door, came up. To Fisher,
according to Vests story to Detec-
tives Weber and Brown of the tenth
precinct, Skelly gasped: I'm sorry
Fisher took Skelly to Emergency
ger volunteered to supply the blood
which may prove the saving of
Skelly's life.
Police were told that financial
worries were thought to have been
preying on the mind of Skelly for
some time. They, however, will not
hazard an opinion definitely, as to
the cause of his act
Drs. Marberry and Geyer at Emerg-
ency Hospital were in charge Of the
case In event the sewing of the
throat and the TRANSMISSION proves a
complete success. it is thought that
the operation will add a brilliant
chapter to the history of the hospital.
