Mrs. Cooney, who admits she is the
notorious bobbed-haired bandit, sat
today in a cell in Brooklyn police
headquarters while witnesses appear
ed before the grand jury to tell of
her numerous hold-up exploits, the
last of which ended disastrously with
the shooting of Nathan Mazzio. an
employe of the National Biscuit
Company. In another cell her hus-
band. Edward Cooney, who admits
having assisted in the hold-ups.
Several indictments against the
couple. who were arrested in Jack
sonville, Fla, will be asked by the
district attorney. Then the pair will
be taken before the county court
for pleading. They have already
said they intended to plead guilty
The punishment for assault and at
tempted robbery is from ten to twen-
ty years.
Mrs. Cooney, whose arrest was
brought about through the death of
her child, born in Jacksonville on
April 1, appeared greatly relieved
and almost happy after her months
of excitement.
"The National Biscuit Company
job was to have been our last" she
said. I'VE had decided to give up
the hold-up game. The only reason
we started it was to get enough
money for the baby. But we got
only 5000 altogether. That wasn't
enough, after our trip to Jackson
vile, and we had to send home for
more. That's how they caught u.s."

they got only SIT. In another case
when the witness insisted that the
pair robbed his store of $3.50,

ty court later for pleading. Both

AWAIT ACTION
Of STATE bD.
Fight on Chemical Plant in
dublin" Section Before
Board of Health

After about an hour of discourse
with Herbert Gillis, of the Herbert
& Herbert Chemical Company, on
one side and various members of
the Dublin Improvement Associa-
ton on the other, regarding the al
legged unhealthful odors emanating
from that plant, it was decided by
the Board of Health last night at
an informal meeting to take no ac-
ton until second investigation was
made by the State Board of Health
In the matter.
Without quorum present, it was
decided by President John j. Buck
ley that the board meet informally
to hear the further appeals of the
Dublin association in their fight to
do away with the odors coming
from the plant, and DR.. Charles
Thompson, secretary of the board,
was asked to give a report of the
recent visit of the state health
agent.
DR.. Thompson explained that on
last Saturday an inspector from the
state health department with Rufus
B. Allen. as representative of the
Dublin association, visited the plant
before noon but found no odors
emanating from it, Another visit
was made in the afternoon and this
Inspection was also fruitless, as no
odors could be detected in or about
the plant.
The state health inspector left in
structions with the association rep
resentative and also DR.. Thompson,
whereby. the two were to make oD-
servations about the plant, as to
what days the odors are found. in
what direction the wind is blowing
at that time, etc. until his next visit
which is expected to be in about an
other week.
The discussion between the plant
and the Dublin asso-
citation started when President
George Westerfield said that at
o'clock last night he and his family
were driven from the dinner table by
tle sickening odors, which he claimed
came direct from the chemical plant.
He added that he called the plant on
the phone three different times, but
but "they would not answer
MIR. Westerfield said that the
fumes were so bad at o'clock last
night, that he was of the opinion
the discharge was getting worse every
day instead of better. "It looks as
though they have made up their
minds to stink us out, and we've
made up our minds to put them out"
president of the association said.

Chairmanshin Protem

WASHINGTON, April 23-Selec-
tions for the temporary and perma-
nent chairmanships of the Republi-
can National Convention are being
given. considerable thought by Pres
ident Coolidge and he is expected to
make known his references before
next Wednesday. when the national
committees subcommittee on ar
rangements will meet in Cleveland.
The President conferred with q
number of political leaders on the
subject while in New York to ad-
dress the annual luncheon of the
Associated Press, but desired to
consider the matter further here
before making a decision. He is
understood to be devoting chief at
tention TO the temporary chairman
ship, since the man selected for
that post usually sounds the CAM
paign keynote.
Former Governor Lowden of Illi-
nois, is regarded by some as a likely
choice among those mentioned for
the temporary craftsmanship. This
opinion is based on the expectation
that the President will faver the
selection of a western or middle
western man not connected officially
with the administration. Others un-
der consideration are said to include
Secretary Hughes, Senator Willis of
Ohio. Charles G.. Dawes, Representa-
tive Longworth of Ohio, Senator Bo-
rah OF Idaho, former Senator Bev-
eridge of Indiana, Governors Hyde
of Missouri and Groesbeck of Mich
igan, and Senator Pepper of Penn

NEW EVIDENCE
IN BAUER CASE
Prosecutors Say 1t Will Justify
Holding Hoffman on a
Homicide Charge


NEW YORK, April 23.-Further
evidence was uncovered today which
prosecutors would justify holding
Harry Hoffman, motion picture ope-
rator, on a homicide charge for the
murder of Mrs. Maude Bauer on a
lonely road on Staten Island a month
ago.
Fire arms experts reported that
the hole in the side of the sedan
owned by Hoffman might have been
made by rs calibre revolver such
as Hoffman possessed. Mrs. Bauer
was killed by bullet of similar
calibre.
Harry Edkins. reel boy at the
theatre where Hoffman was en-
ployed, will again be called before
the grand jury. it was said. Edkins
yesterday testified that Hoffman
asked him to find someone to paint
over the sedan after the murder.
Fifteen other witnesses were waiting
to be called.
District attorney Each said he be-
lieved that Hoffman would again be
held in $4,000 bail when re-arranged
late today on the homicide charge.

Strassburger HAS Great Lead
Over Observation-Disclosures
phia Against Pinchot

PHILADELPHIA, April 23.-
Ralph Beaver Strassburger, wealthy
Norristown publisher, running
against Governor Clifford Pinchot in
yesterdays primary for delegate-at-
large to the Republican national con-
vention, had lead of nearly 100000
votes in less than half the election
Districts of the state.
Returns from 3,427 districts of the
S,119 in the state early today gave
Strassburger 320,5s7 and Pinchot,
122,470.
The city of Philadelphia alone re-
turned a majority for Strassburger
of 190,107, the vote in the city's
1,462 districts being: Strassburger,
224,32O; Pinchot, 34,213.
The other six candidates for Re-
publican delegates-at-large, who
were endorsed by the state organiza-
tion-Secretary of the Treasury Mel
lon; United States Senators Pepper
and Reed, William S. Ware, repre-
sentative in congress-; w. Harry
Baker, chairman of the state Re-
publican committee, and Mrs. Eliza
beth Price Martin-appeared, on the
basis of the incomplete returns re-
ceived, to have run according to the
plans of the leaders. Although none
of the Republican delegates at large
are pledged to any candidate, all
are believed to favor the nomination
of President Coolidge.
The majority against the COVER
nor in Philadelphia was attributed
largely to the withdrawal of the
support of the organization led by
Representative Ware. He announc-
ed last Saturday atter the governor
previously had been endorsed by
the Republican state organization
as one of it's seven slated candidates,
that he could not support the exe-
cutive because of his suggestion that
Francis j. Heney be employed as
counsel to the senate committee in
vestigating the internal revenue
bureau. The governor in reply. de-
clared the liquor question was the
issue that prompted Vare's action.
Mr.. Straussburger to whom Ware
turned his support, declared the
issue was loyalty to President Coo
lidge.''
outside of Philadelphia. figures
were reported mainly from the
larger cities and centers of popula-
ton, lack of general interest in the
primary and the many names on
the ballot delaying the returns from
rural districts where Pinchot sup
porters anticipated the largest vote
for the governor.
