The woman apparently stopped
her attempt to take the poison and
then later took a dose of different
poison, Doctor hewitt said.
An ambulance from Emergency
Hospital responded to a call from
the sister and rushed Miss Allen
to the hospital. She was uncon.
scious from the time the ambu-
lance arrived until she died. No
reason could be given by the sis
ter for the woman's suicide, the
coroner declared.

Police Claim Lieutenant lacy
Was Arrested Before for
This offense

Lieutenant Lester j. Tacy, sta
toned at Fort Myer, Va, must
appear in Traffic Court today to
answer a second charge OF oper.
ating an automobile while under
the influence of liquor. He had
not been arraigned at a late hour
because he had gone to the fort
TO answer roll call, it was said in
court.
Lieutenant Tacy was arrested
at 3 a. m. today when Policemen
w. J.. Mathers and G. b. Shoe
maker observed his new automo-
bile swerving from one side Of the
street to the other at Third and
M streets northwest.
Released on $500 Bond
Striking the curb, the ear came
to stop, and when they ordered
Tacy to get out, he was so drunk
that he could not walk, the police
claim. He was taken to the station
house and locked in cell until
court opened, when he was released
under bond of $500.
Records at the court show that a
Lester j. Tracy was arrested on
July 20 for the same offense by
Policeman j. l.. Pinkert, of the
Seventh precinct. but officials de.
clare that it is the same man and
that the ''R" was inserted in the
name by mistake.
Pleaded Not Guilty
At that time he pleaded not
guilty and demanded a trial by
jury. He was released under a
$500 bond and was awaiting trial
when his second arrest occurred.
He is expected to demand a jury
trial in the latter case also.

FINGER PRINTS
MAY IDENTIFY
SLAYER
Found on Doopsof Auto Where
Man and Woman Were
Shot TO Death
BY ALBERT F. BAENzIGER
International News service

KENOSHA, Wis, Oct. 1T.-Four
bloody fingerprints on the left side
OF an automobile in which pretty
Madeline Latimer, of Milwaukee.
James Sears, Kenosha garage man
and James Sears, Kenosha garage
man, were shot to death on the How
here. were discovered today by
Chief of Police Thad L. Logan and
Detective Sergeant Emil F.
Meiss1er.
A hurried eau for Milwaukee's
finger print expert, John Bauschek,
was sent in by police officials in the
hope that the impressions may be
that of the murderer, although
many other hands have been per-
mitted on the car since it was re-
moved from the scene of the
tragedy.
Only after having exhausted all
the obvious leads did the search
ers finally return to the most
ligical field for evidence. The rea-
son for this was that Sheriff Frank
Williams had ordered the car
brought to the county garage i'm
mediately after it's discovery and
1t was felt by the police officials,
who were not officially called into
the case until yesterday by Coro-
ner Joseph Friend, that the depu-
ties who drove the car had de-
stroyed all chances of securing the
murderer's finger prints from the
steering wheel. The slayers drove
the car 300 feet away from the &C.
tuaI scene of the murder.
A number of minor leads are also
being run down by the combined
forces of the sheriff, police and
coroner's offices. The most impor-
tant of these was the discovery of
several blood stains under the Pike
Creek bridge on the Rowland road
where the bodies were discovered.
Srcimens of the blood were col
lected and sent to Milwaukee labora-
tories for analysis.

S-51 HIT AFT, IS
REPORT Of
DIVER
Overtaken by City of Rome on
Same Course, Board of
Inquiry Is Told

BOSTON, Oct. 17.-That the S. s..
City of Rome and the ill-fated sub
marine S-51 were steaming on the
same course, that the coastal liner
was making more speed than the
submersible and that when the
undersea craft started to swing tp
starboard the City of Rome ram
med her, was the gist of the testi-
mony of James w. Ingram, deep sea
diver, before the naval court of
inquiry probing the disaster which
cost thirty-three lives off Block
Island.
Captain Daniel A. Beaver, Of the
inquiry board, put this question to
Diver Ingram:
What is your opinion now as to
how the vessels struck, based on
your examination of the hull OF the
Ssh?
Ingram answered:
my opinion is that the two YES
sells were steaming probably on the
same course; that the City OF Rome
was making more speed than the
submarine; that the submarine
started to swing to starboard and
before the S-51 was well started in
the swing the City of Rome swung
to starboard and that the City of
Rome's bow struck the submarine a
slapping blow"
Ingram, the first diver to go
down. described in detail the injury
to the undersea boat. The diver
said he found the submarine on
the bottom of the ocean, listed
slightly to port. All matches except
the coming tower hatch were closed.
There was a long cut on the port
side, indicating that the City of
Rome had struck the S-51 aft.
Ingram said he stamped on the
deck but there was no sound from
within.
Whitcomb p Curry. wireless oper-
ator of the Tropical Radio Com
pany, the first to get the wireless
S. o, S. of the disaster, gave testi-
mony behind closed doors.

PRESIDENT
T0CNLIT
INSIDE
YEAR
Obstacles Removed by Pact
Of Locarno, Is View of
White House.
BY GEORGE Z. HOLMES

By GEORGE Il. HOLMES
Another arms conference, aimed
to accomplish what the original
Washington conference left un-
done, was regarded here today as
virtually a certainty, perhaps
within the next year. President
Coolidge is ready to issue the IN
vitations, just as soon as he is as
sured that the nations of Europe
and Asia are willing to come in.
The signing of the Locarno Sc
curity pact, under which France,
Germany and their neighbors
agree to abolish warfare as
among themselves, has, in his
opinion, removed the last great
obstacle to the success of such
gathering.
Aims to Be Sought
The chief aims to be sought in
this second Washington conference
1. Reduction OF the worlds
standing armies.
2. Limitation of aircraft arna-
ment.
8. Limitation Of submarines, both
as to size and number, that each
nation may possess.
4. Limitation of those classes Of
auxiliary naval ships that the first
Washington conference left un-
touched.
These are all problems which
were debated by the original con-
ference here three years ago, de-
bated almost to the point of rup-
ture, and then for one reason or
another left to future determine
ton.
The failure of the first confer
ence to deal with standing armies,
submarines and aircraft was at
tributed entirely to Frances pro-
fessed fears Of another invasion by
Germany. The impassioned speech
of Foreign Minister BRAND, char
Germany as an ARMED,
foe," waiting to strike
France in a war of revenge, sound
ed the death knee1 of attempts to
limit armies. If, said NJ. BRAND,
France was made secure against
would gladly come
in.
Now, It was pointed out by adj
officials today, France
has been secured against attack.
Germany has agreed never to war
against her neighbors, and Great
Britin and italy have agreed to aid
France if she 10 unjustly attacked.
In President Coolidge's opinion
this removes the last great ob1ec.
ton France can have to joining
with the other nations for a gen.
eral reduction Of armament on land
on sea, or in the air.
Test Of French Sincerity
Great Britain, Japan and italy
the other major powers, were will.

luce Armies. Their willingness to
