Freaks Of Nature

No Jail would be strong enough to
confine the piddock, mollusk which
can bore through wood and rock. On
the creatures foot is flinty append
age, resembling a file. which is used
in boring. When this file becomes
worn off, it grows out again like
fingernail. Nobody hos been able TO
discover why the piddock keeps fiji
ing away at the hardest substances.
It seems TO enjoy it, like IN old
man whiting a stick. When the
piddock chances to bore into wood,
however, its idle amusement becomes
extremely destructive, as it makes
holes in boats and docks.

Slayer Of Restaurant Proprie-
tor Believed KnoWnFor-
mer ElnpIoye ouizzed

The slayer Of Thomas Pappas,
Greek restaurant proprietor,
beaten to death and robbed
Thursday morning ii the kitchen,
Of his cafe, 1909 Seventh street
northwest, is believed known by
police.
By q process Of elimination,
police have narrowed the inyesti-I
CATION to one man. They have
fairly good description Of him and
his arrest is momentarily ex-
pected.
The. man sought was seen at
$3.50 o'clock Thursday morning in
Pappas' restaurant, three hours
before the killing. Again at 3
o'clock, William Joseph Tappy,
sixty-four, cook and roommate for
Pappas, saw him.
Confident Of Early Solution.
Detectives working on the wrench
murder mystery were confident Of
solving 1t within forty-eight hours.
They have worked day and night
since Pappa's badly mutflated body
was discovered Thursday. Those
working on the case are Detectives
Cullinane, Sweeney. Waldron, Fow-
Ter and jackson.
The suspicious Of the police were
said to have been further confirmed
today when Mrs. Mamie Brooks,
colored, former employee at Pappas'
restaurant, was taken to headQuar-
ters and questioned. She Is said to
now searching.
Police, however, did not reveal
what information they obtained
from Mrs. Brooks. They declared
that she had not worked for Pappas
since last October, and that they
merely questioned her in the hope
of getting "a line on" several per-
sons. She was released.
Another Man Questioned.
John H. Corbin, colored, was ar
rested last night by police. Through
him police hoped to get informa-
ton OF another man. He stated
he has been in Washington but
two months, coming here from
Florida. He will be released.
Two other colored men, Richard
Foster 1871 Sixth street northwest,
and Jesse Green 122 " street south
east, held for questioning, also viii
be turned loose.
Several others persons have been
taken into custody questioned and
released.
Detectives have spent most Of
their time in running down a score
or more of clues. Most Of them
have been eliminated.
Police believe that the wrench
used In the staying and the bloody
shirt found near the body are the
principal pieces Of evidence. In ad-
dition to the search for the suS-
pected man, police are also trying
to find the owners, or owner OF the
wrench and shirt.
Grant Directs Search
Inspector Clifford L. Grant, chief
of detectives, was in conference
numerous times today with the
men on the case. He is personally
directing the investigation.
1.-THE men are doing the best they
can and we hope to clean up the
case" was all Inspector Grant
would say.
The man the police want is said
to have known Pappas and was
familiar with the cafe owners
habits. He knew where pappAs
