BUDGET SLASH
MAY DRYDOCk
LEV|ATHAN
If Funds Reduced, Board
to Give Freighters
Preference.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. To-
The giant steamship Leviathan, pride
of the American merchant marine,
will in all probability be retired from
active service if the shipping board
appropriation is reduced to S15,000,-
600 from S1S,000,000 as is now pro-
posed, it was stated here today. q
The Budget Commission has indicat-
ed its intention of making the slash
in spite Of the strongest opposition
from T. V. O'Connor, president OF
the board.
An appropriation as low as that
demanded by the budget bureau will
definitely force the Leviathan out of
service, and menace five other liners
in the United States lines, the gov
ernment's passenger service, the ship
ping board head believes.
The cost of maintaining the six
liners in the United States lines for
one year equals the cost of actively
operating 40 freight ships, the ship
ping board estimates.
O'Connor favors giving precedence
to the freight ships of the merchant
marine, when lack of funds makes a
choice between freight and passenger
service necessary.

left the scene, he told detectives.
But on the witness stand, in his
first trial, Williams told another
story. Bootleggers, he declared. had
taken Bromley and him to the isolated
spot. They had left him in the truck
and taken Bromley away. He never
saw him again.
The jury. weighing Williams state
ment on the stand against his confes-
sion, could not agree. The twelve had
viewed the mesquite tree to which
BROMLEY had been tied, had seen his
ragged jumper and hat, but they could
not make IN their minds beyond d

So Williams again must face trial

conviction. Defense counsel has been
appointed BY the court to represent the
negro and a stubborn legal battle IS
promised.

WEIRD MURDER
TRIAL OPENS
MONDAY
Suspect Accused of Tieing
Man Upright to
Sapling.

4 confession, made unexpectedly as
be sat idly catching insects at detcc-
tive headquarters, will confront Clar-
ence Williams Monday. when he faces
trial for the second time for the kill
ing of Will Bromley, transfcrman and
his friend. Both are negroes. This
confession and the testimony of Brow
ley's widow, will form the important
links in the chain of evidence which
the state hopes TO weave about the
giant negro.
Williams is charged in the indict-
ment with having tied his friend TO a
tree in a lonely pasture on tie La
vernia road and left him 10 staryc.
His skeleton was found several weeks
later, still hanging to the tree. 4
huge rock found nearby was the only
clue to the slayer.
TELLS STRANGE STORY.
Suspicion was first directed at
Williams, porter at a local theater,
when he showed undue interest in
Browley's whereabouts shortly after be
disappeared. The negro came to de
tectiye headquarters and offered his
services in locating his friend. Then
officers received a note purporting 10
tell Of the missing mans fate.
Later they arrested Williams. At
first he professed TO be ignorant If
BrOwley's whereabouts. For ~
hours he withstoOd the onslaught of
the best detectives on the force.
Then, as be sat alone with Detec-
tive Chief Sam Street one night, he
began to catch moths, caress them and
then release them. Suddenly be began
to talk. He told the detective chief
eonugh of the crime to convince the
latter that the right man had been
arrested. But he asked twenty min
utes in which to compose his thoughts.
TIED TO TREE.
At the end Of that time other Off
GERS were called in and heard from
Williams lips a strange story. He
had loaned Bromley $50, he said. He
later decided to get married and
asked BROMLEY for the money. 1t was
not forthcoming.
On April II, 1923, he said, he fol-
lowed Bromley to the Southern Pacific
station and the two went out TO the
Lavernia pasture 10 get some whis-
key. After a brief argument. VIII

Jewels, Lost During Gay
Party at H oteL

A romance that had its inception
ID Mexico City, and that ripened into
a genuine love affair as the prin.
cipals played about the parks, mis-
siens and romantic spots of San An
tonic, foundered on the rocks of COM
rnercialism in Chicago Saturday when
il became known that a S25-a-week
grocery clerk has filed a million-dollar
Exclamation suit against an European
hoblewoman.
The Marquise de Jamell, the widow
Of the one time Italian ambassador
no Japan. met Harold Brennan, the
rgrocer's clerk, in Mexico City about
two years ago. She became fond Of
the blond, blue-eyed clerk, and had
him join her titled encourage.
They came to San Antonio, and
then the clerk came into his own.
He knew his San Antonio, its parks
and plazas, its missions and historic
points OF romance and adventure. I'm
der his guidance, the marquise was
shown about the city.
TOWN CASTS SPELL
In the shadow of the Alamo she
walked with him. In picturesque spots
of Breckenridge park, in shady re-
treats along the San Antonio river
they went hand in hand-and she
listened in rapture to the stories he
told of life in the olden days of the
historic city-she listened and fell
under the spell cast by the romantic
Town.
So they loved and courted in the
sucient city, even as Spanish youths
and senoritas of an earlier day loved
and courted in the romantic past.
After several weeks they went TO
New Orleans. the one other romantic
individualistic city in the United
States.
So long as they remained in San
Antonio and in New Orleans their
ship Of love sped on.
NORTH BREAKS ROMANCE
Then they went TO Chicago. There,
in the cold, commercial city Of the
North, afar from the romance OF the
South. the spell was broken.
s Loves voyage was wrecked on
parcel Of missing jewels.
The marquise blames him, Brennan
says. for the loss of her jewels after
. series Of gay parties in Chicago a
week ago. She forced him to sign
paper promising TO give her $40 a
week until $1,000, the value of the
3eFels, was repaid.

TELLS WIDOWS STORY.
The Marquise De Jamelli's attorney,
NJ. V. Minahan. gave out the fascinat-
ing widows side of the story.
The story told, by Mr.. Brennan
does not jibe with the one the mar
quise tells" Mr.. Minahan said.
"She told me she dined with him
last Saturday night at his invitation,
but at her expense. The dinner cost
S11 and Brennan whispered he didn't
have that much and so she paid il.
~Then she became dizzy and vio-
lently i'll and knew nothing until she
woke up in his rooming house. On
her arrival at her hotel she found
that her Jewels were gone. Thinking
that Brennan might have taken them
for safekeeping, she called him, but
he denied having them. he said he
felt morally responsible for their loss
and voluntarily signed a promise 10
reimburse her.
When il became known Saturday
that Brennan had filed the million
dollar suit, she and her sister, Mrs
A. r. Moseley, went into voluntary
retirement. They checked out of the
fashionable hotel where they have
been staying during their Chicago
visit and where they were being en-
tertained by society. Hotel attaches
said they left for New York, but left
no forwarding address.

Watch Your Water Pump
to Prevent Motor Heat

OF the 10 reasons for motor heating,
perhaps one of the most obscure and
least thought of is the small pin that
holds the paddle wheel on the water
pump to the shaft. This is frequent
reason for engine Overheating, and be-
cause of it's very Obscureness, is one
of the reasons for this series Of
articles.
AS everyone knows, the water pump
is attached to the water pump shaft.
Within this pump is a paddle wheel
that assists in circulating the water
from the radiator entirely through the
water passage system. small steel
pin holds this paddle wheel fast to the
pump, and many times, after some
months of usage, this pin becomes
worn or rusted, and shears off as
smoothly as if cut by knife. The
pump at once becomes imperative, the
water does not circulate and the ter
rife heat of the engine soon boils
away the water that remains in the
radiator. Here again the heat indi-
Gator on your car Immediately tells
the story, as the vapor temperature of
the boiling water in the radiator will
warn the motorist, through this instru-
ment, that he must investigate at once,
or suffer the penalty: large garage
bill.
