WHO IS TARBOT? THIS STILL IS UNANSWERED
Veteran Thrice "Identi- fled" But None Is
 Definite

New York, Oct, 16 LP-Who is Jerry Tarbot." the mystery man of the American Legion?
 This question remained unanswer- ed today, despite reports of identi- f1cation or partial identification by persons who have seen "Tarbot" at the American Legion convention in Philadelphia or have seen his pie ture in the papers.
 "Tarbot" is employed in a jewelry store in this city. His memory is vague previous to the time, three years ago when he was dismissed from an asylum in Stockton, Cal. Although he says his fingerprints were not taken when he entered the service of the World War, the his torical division of the marine corps at Washington is making every ef- fort to identify him.
 But, Tarbot so far has been un- able to accept any of the identitica- tions made. He is positive he could not have worked in Brooklyn in 1922 because he was in California at that time and he says he knows only a smattcring of French such as American soldiers in France picked up.
 IS. M. Marcus, of Glendale, Calf, former navy surgeon, believes "Tarbot' to be Pierre Dubois, a former student at Fordha>n univer- sity, New York city. The doctor had the unfortunate veteran under treatment and says he pieced to- gether much of his past life. He found that the patient could speak French fuently. Tarbor. however, a few days ago visited Fordham and was unable 10 recapture any lost memories of the place or the in structors.
 The latest identification is by Charles Smith of Brooklyn, a cook, who, says "Tarbot" is Bruce Harpin, formerly owner of a lunch wagon in Brooklyn. Smiths wife recogniz- ed "Tarbot' as Harpin but "Tarbot does not recall ever having seen the Smiths and has no memory of the place where Smith says Harpin worked.
 "Tarbott," according to Israel NJ. Greenburg of Baltimore. is George Beaupre, a French Canadian he knew in the A. E. F. Greenburg recognizes "Tarbot" by his picture and by his description by the Asso- ciated Press.
 A man who was at the Legion con- vention in Philadelphia recognizes the name-less marine as a member of the 16th company but cannot re- call his name. A member of the veterans bureau at Washington says pictures of "Tarbot" bear striking resemblance to a marine of the 18th company, 5th regiment, whose name was Louis Waubble.
 A dozen gold star mothers have notified the rehabilitation committee of the American Legion that they are coming to see "Tarbot" in the hope that he may be a missing son. Two mothers who went to the Legion con- vention failed to identify him.

 Children Gone; Sues for $25OO
Furniture and Wearing Apparel Put Out On Street
 While He is Serving Term, Kirdzik Claims

Kirdzik is widower with four children. Several months ago he was arrested and jailed and during his absence, he alleges, the apartment he had maintained in the York ho- tel was stripped of it's furnishings and his wearing apparel was also rel egated to the junk pile. When he returned he could find neither his property nor his children, but he finally located the latter at the town home.
 As a result of this action Kirdzik claims he has suffered emharrass- ment, worry and mental pain.

Postmaster General Is. sues Defy to Bandits T o Recommend This Be Made Capital Offense Just Like Murder.
Hunt of New Jersey Rob- bers Continues With Expert Riflemen Lead. ing Posse of 800 Against Suspected Stronghold.

Washington, Oct 1s R-rb. United States mails will be protect. ed against bandits even if 1t becomes necessary to cali upon the army. navy and marine corps to Euard them.
 This defy went forward today rom Postmaster General New fol- lowing a decision reached by Pres,- dent Coolidge and his cabinet a. tho result of the s50O,000 mail robbery at Elizabeth, N. J.
 The postmaster general added that he would recommend to con. grl s the passage of legislation to make an armed attack upon the mails capital offense.
 Would Hang Bandits
 Any man participating in such an attempt, he declared, has murder ous intent and the world Is good deal better off without him. There Ia n>. another country on the globe despite talk about lawlessness, thiey- cry and banditry directed toward certain of these countries where such things are more prevalent than in our own. II it cannot be SUD- pressed by one means, 1t should be by another. Wholesale hanging might go farther than anything else. It would curb their enthusiasm any, way"
 The postmaster general notified Director Lord of the budget bureau that the department would require additional appropriations for more armored mail trucks and armed guards and their equipment.
 NIT. New also suggested that bust. ness men of the country should pay their employees by check instead Of cash, and thus render unnecessary the shipment of large sums of cur rency by mail. He praised the post al employees who had risked their lives to safeguard the Elizabeth shipment but found themselves in- adequate to repel the attack by eight bandits from ambush.

Hunt Goes On


 Somerville, N. J.. Oct. Is P-ES- pert riflemen today led the advance Of 500 city, state and volunteer po- lice on the mountain stronghold Of New Jerseys machine-gun mail bandits.
 All possible outlets to the district where the eight men who on Thurs day killed one and wounded three men while robbing truck in Eliza beth of more than s10o,0o0 arc thought to be hiding, were under guard. and state police considered augmenting the searching party by 2,000 militiamen, offered by Cover nor Moore.
 AS the unexplored area narrowed, the police were more firmly con- vinced that the bandits would soon be at bay and preparations for a battle were complete. Automatic rifles, machine guns and gas bombs were in the hands of the authorities to be used, and troopers were under orders to shoot without warning" if sure Of their suspects. Residents Frightened The invasion of the generally peaceful Watching mountains by the police army has caused terror among residents. Orders have been issued that shades arc to be kept drawn in farm houses and children are told to shun motorists. It is thought that the bandits will shoot to kill If their demands are not granted.
 The two automobiles used by tho eight men have not yet been aban- doned, causing their pursuers to be- lieve they expect 10 make a dash | for liberty. The cars have not been seen since Thursday afternoon, sew. eral hours after the holdup. The area in which the men are thought to be hiding resembles modern battlefield. Picket posts have been established at intervals and are connected by telephone | to a headquarters. All motorists 1 are stopped by armed troopers and no one is permitted through without questioning. Secondary roads are blocked by wooden fences bearing red light warnings, on the theory that If car should approach. 1t would be detained long enough for the proper search.
 Suspects Quiz1ed
 Two more suspects were question: edyesterday but police doubted that 1 they were connected with the hold up, Additional reasons were given for the belief that James Killer" ! Cuniffe and Bum" Rogers, notori- ous criminals were leaders of the 1 gang, however. A Bernardsville | farmer identified a photograph of | Cunniffe as the man he gave . lift" to near Somerville Thursday night. The man refused to ride in the front seat with him, he said, but sat in the rear Of his truck. Other witnesses of the holdup identified photographs of Cunniffe and Rogers.
 The state police still considered the use of airplanes in spotting the hangout of the bandits today. A request for two army planes from

Is P-The most significant feature of Cover nor Smiths first week of campaign ing for reelection. in his opinion. the the hopeless split in the republi- can party on the prohibition ques, ton. That be believes. will result ir victory for the democratic state ticket at the polls this fall.
 The republican party is hope lessly split" he asserted. basing his opinion on talks with political lead. CTS on his tour across the southern tier counties of New York state The candidates for congress on the republican state ticket throughout ths upper part of the state find Il convenient to have a doctors cer, tifcate rather than make personal appearance when the republican candidate for United States senator appears.
 If this means anything. it means a party division. Every candidate of the democratic party iron, Niagara Falls to Montauk Point car appear with Judge Wagner and my. self without prejudice to his owr prestige"
 Thinks Mills Is Failing
 Another significant feature of his trip, the governor said today in g summary of his first weeks triT which started Monday from Albany is that statement after statement made by Congressman Ogden L Mills has been openly challenged by men within and without his owr party"
 "The popular impression" ht said. seems to be that Congressman Mills was not relying upon his owr knowledge but was permitting him. self to be prompted by others. Moth. ing weakens a candidate so much as a we'll grounded popular opinion along that line'
 The others" mentioned by the governor, included, he intimated William Randolph Hearst. whom h. charged in speech at Hornel Thursday night with being allied with and directing the republican campaign. Last night at the end ot his speech here, the governor de- clared that he would never stor talking about Hearst" while in his speech. he asserted that although he had seen some men who were hun gry for public office" he knew oi none unless it be his partner Hearst who would go as far as Con- gressman Mills is going"
 Challenge to Mills
 The challenge of Charles H. Kcl- by, of Brooklyn, who is Investigating the New York city milk situation, to MT. Mills for a debate with him on the subject was declared today by the governor to call for acceptance by the republican candidate. This challenge Congressman Mills cannot ignore" said the governor. As a candidate he challenged me one year ago. was sport enough to accept his challenge. I dare him to accept the challenge of Judge kclby."
 Governor Smith, accompanied by Justice Robert r. Wagner. demo- cratic candidate for L. s. senator was to return to Buffalo this after noon for the last speeches of the week in Elmwood Music Hall where Governor Smith and MT. Mills last year debated the proposed S1o0, 900 bond issue for state public works improvements. the adoption of which Mir. Mills opposed.

Restoring Soiled Table

Heat stains may be removed from a
highly polished table by applying the
following in their respective order,
using a separate cloth for each: Ker.
osene. alcohol and sweet or linseed Oil,
The last should be well rubbed in un-
til the spot no longer shows. Ere
quently a cloth moistened with warm
camphorated oil will remove the stain.
If these methods fail, probably the
table will have to be refinished.
