SEATTLE, Jan. 24.-A girl once known in the night life of Seattle, as Lila Wayne, who married and whose present name is withheld from the public, hurried to the police station yesterday, after reading that Lieuten- ant Kent had positively identified Jas. B. Bates, casually arrested, as John Brooks alias Dutch Veitch," who shot and killed Mrs. David F. Westman, known in the red light district as Babe Smith," June IA, 1919.
 When the girl Lila, saw Bates, she instantly declared him to be the man, and said she had carried his face in her head for years, with the hope of perhaps catching the slayer of her friend.
 The shooting occurred at 1900 Seat tie Boulevard, where the girls had rooms at the time, and where for sev- eral nights they had entertained the slayer and his two companions. The trio demanded money, and Brooks shot Babe" because she could not open a sticking bureau drawer, where her purse, thought to contain money, was stuck bureau drawer, wher che purse
 After the shooting Brooks and his companions seized and bound Police man J. w. ChatIein, who heard the shots and entered.
 Wm. Engelke, who was proprietor of the house, says that Bates voice is the same as the harsh twang of Brooks when he snarled profane commands st the inmates of the rookery.

TOTAL ECLIPSE SUN
 OBSERVED UNDER IDEAL CONDITIONS
 BY ASTRONOMERS
BLAckNESS OF MIDNIGHT FALLS ON AREA AFFECTED BIRDS
 AND ANIMALS TERRORiZED AS STRANGE CONDITION PREVAILS
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Jan. 24-The dreams of astronomers in seeing total eclipse of the sun under ideal conditions was realized today in New York and the New England states. Clouds and low visibility frustrated the tests in Mich igan and Ontario, but the weather was clear and especially magnificent in New York, which witnessed the first total eclipse in 119 years. The beau tiful corona was accompanied by the momentary blackness of midnight at |9:11.
 President Coolidge and family wit messed the partial eclipse from the lawn of the whitehouse, carrying a blackened window pane.
 An army plane three miles up in the air, above Mitchell Field, Long Island, took twelve pictures of the racing shadow preceding the eclipse.
 The temperature dropped two de- grees during the total darkness. The dirigible Los Angeles, rose from Lake hurst and headed for Nantucket, re- porting successful observation.
 Deer in the open at the Bronx zoo, tumbled over one another in terror, an Arctic owl hooted and flew about, a heavyweight alligator believed and chattering monkeys became silent. Songbirds from. all lover the world tucked their heads under their wings and slept.
 The American Radio Corporation said that the behavior of the ether during the eclipse indicated that short wave lengths follow the sun, and that static was effected. The long wave, irregular before the eclipse, became noticeably regular during the totality.
