ADMITS OWNERSHIP
. OF MURDER SEDAN
Rappaport of Alleged N. Y.
Bootleg Gang Shows He

NEW YORK, September 26.-Sam-
uel Rappaport, enc of the members of
the alleged bootleg gang arrested in
raids on their headquarters in the
Times Square district Wednesday, adj
mitted today that he was owner of
the sedan liz which the body of Albert
Phillips, ALIAS David Bran, was found
with two bullet wounds in the head
Yesterday, after a collision with Il
taXicab.
Rape, port. however, denied any
knowledge of the murder. Police rec
ords corroborated Rappaports story
that he had reported the theft of his
automobile last July after he had
, loaned it TO d friend in the Bronx. The
friend, John X Polichek, also was
questioned by police today.
The police had advanced the theory
that Phillips was shot as a reprisal for
having furnished the tip to Federal
agents and police which led to the
raids upon what was said to be the
largest bootleg agency in the Coun-
try. United States Attorney Buckner
has denied that he ever heard of Phil
lips before his death.
The body of Phillips was identified
today by his brother. Isaac Phillips,
who said his brother had been living
In New York with their mother. They
claimed the body at the morgue.
Albert Phillips was known to police
here and in Kansas City as David
Bran, alleged whisky and narcotic
peddler and pickpocket.

COMET is LOCATED
BY RUSSIAN EXPERT
Is One of Seven Periodic Vicitors
to Region of Earth-Nearly
on Schedule.
By Science Service.

By Science Service.
CAMBRIDGE. Mass, September 90.
Brooks comet. one of the seven
periodic comets expected to visit the
region of the earth this Summer, has
been discovered by a Russian aStrono-
mer named Tscherny at the University
of kiev. This announcement was
made today by DIR. Harlow Shapley
director of the Harvard College OBJ
servatory, upon the receipt of a cable
gram from the International Bureau
of Astronomical kilograms at Copen-
hagen. When observed on September
10 1t was in the constellation of
Aquarius, which is now directly south
at about 8 pm. It's right ascension
nation degrees 10 seconds south OF
the Equator.
Cloudy weather has so far kept as.
tronomers at the Naval Observatory
from observing Brooks comet, but on
the first clear night the bic 26-inch
telescope will be turned on the celes-
tial visitor, said Prof. Asaph Hall. AS
the comet Is of the ninth magnitude,
it should not be difficult to observe
with this instrument, which Is one of
the largest in the country.
Brooks comet is a periodic one, re-
turning to the earth once in approx
mately seven years and it's observed
position is within degrees of the
position which had been computed for
it in advance. little more than the
distance between the two pointers in
the Great Dipper. Since it was last
observed, in 1918, it came close to the
planet Jupiter and it's orbit was short
ened by Jupiter's gravitational attrac-
ton. bringing it back several months
sooner than it would have done other
wise. AS it approaches nearer to the
earth it will become brighter, but it is
doubtful whether it will become visible
to the unaided eye.

DECLARES CRIMINALS

Alienist Ascribes Crime in U. S.
to Varied Populace and
Corrupt Officials.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK. September 26.-Dr.
Bernard Gluck, alienist, who returned
today on the Red Star liner iceland,
declared the question of intelligence
is not of significance in making social
conscience. DR.. Gluck was a New
York delegate to the International
Prison Congress in Hamburg. He has
been identified with prison work at
Sing Sing Is years.
1--WE have at last come" he said,
ito realize that the largest percentage
of criminals need medical attention
more than anything else. There are
two reasons for more crime in the
United States. First, our varied popu-
lation makes it almost impossible to
make a general appeal. Secondly,
crime keeps on the increase because
of the rotten administration Of the
police and the Judiciary. A crook
commits a crime in this country and
is pretty sure of not being caught.
This naturally is stimulus to
crime"

 Raggedy Andy did not yell when he stood upon his hoad, but the strange creature did. He yelled so loud and tho magician yelled so loud they made q terrible racket for they both yelled In different tones.

 Leslie, in some ways you are one of the most innocent women l have ever known. All women are most unforgiving of those sins they know nothing ahout. Some old Frenchman said, "The temptation to which we think it is most sinful 10 succumb is the temptation which does not tempt us.'
 I think you will find this true.
 I though. dear - yes, you are still the dearest woman on this earth - that you might at least come to understand that men are queer creatures, slightly monstrous perhaps. in the eyes Of the delicate- ly minded woman Such 'is a mans complex heart that he can love a woman with his whole soul and be untrue to her all the times That is the difference between a man and . woman.

 She stopped short, and shifted her eyes from my face to a spot, several feet above my head. That she meant to give me a chance to think over her intimation and to respond to 1t, was sure. Although my reason, and my desire to help Hugh Grantland told me that I ought to show her the wild strange letter which l had received from the army officer a few days before Lee Chow appeared at the beach. yet something stronger than reason re- bclled against letting any other eyes than mine see that impassion- cd betrayal of strong mans de- spairing soul.
