GLUE GIVEN
IN MILLS
NOTE

Private Detective Raymond
e. Kennedy. of Baltimore,
working on the Mills murder
case, today discovered what
IS believed a major mistake
made by the slayer in attempt
ing to cover up his crime.
This clue was found by
microscopic examination of the.
confession note found pinned
to the body of Edward +.
Mills at dawn July z, on his
pasture four miles from Rock
vile.
Mistakes In Note
Mr.. Kennedy stated that he
probably win put one or more
operatives from his Baltimore
agency on the case, tracing the
typewriter from its manufacturer
to the present recorded owner.
Photostatic copies of the note
were made by the Washington
Times last night and are being
developed today. 1t viii be sent
to the Bureau of Standards for
determining the exact make, model
and age of the typewriter.
May Catch Him
The mistake the SLAYER made il,
typing such a lengthy document prob
ably win be the one which win
send him to the chair, Mr.. Kennedy
stated.
Coincident with the arrival of
Kennedy, the announcement was
made that Detective Lieutenant
James II. Manning. of Baltimore.
probably will depart today for
home.
II IL doubtful whether Lieutenant
Manning win return, as he has
practically concluded his investiga-
ton in the back country" where
the crime was committed. His
work will he carried on by former
Chief Deputy Sheriff j. Stanley
Gingell and Montgomery county po-
lice, under Chief Alva A. Monkey.
viii Not Give Up
Both Detective Gingel and Chief
Monkey declared that they will
never give up the search for the
killer of Mills. Both believe he

Kennedy will take up the trail
of the murderer from a different
angle than, that which Lieutenant
Manning has used. He will con-
centrate on his search for the type.

not afford to make one mistake
in 100 moves, whereas the police
can make 80 mistakes and catch
the criminal on the hundredth at
tempt. The one mistake the Grim
inal makes proves his undoing,
Kennedy said.
The lengthy note which the Mills
murderer or his accomplice wrote
is likely to prove the mistake" in
this case.
The document is 50 long, Ken
nedy declared, and has so many ele-
ments which. point to the charac-
ter and education of the writer that
already authorities have a theory
as to who wrote it and expect TO be
able to pin 1t to the individual in

- DRAMA A
Margaret Anglin Re-
vises Electra" at the
Gallo Theatre

Sophocles' tragedy was acted last
Thursday night before as fine a Sc
lection of fur coats and dinner suits
as l have seen in many years. The
theatre is spacious and so is the stage
which was quite adequate to accom-
MEDIATE the leaders, the chorus of
Argive maidens and the numerous at
tendants that waited on Electra" on
the murderess Clytemnestra and or
everybody who had any kind of a
position at all.
This is a fairly good murder story
but not near as thrilling as the Remus
trial now engaging the attention OF
Cincinnati lawyers and newspaper
readers in general. 1t is the old story
of a husband going to war and leav-
ing wife in loneliness. Men in an
Gent as we'll aG in modern times were
sympathetic to ladies upon whose
hands time hung heavily, so it is not
surprising to learn that Aegisthos, the
nephew of Agamemnon became enam-
CURED of his uncle's wife Clytemnes-
ira and when the king arrived from
his war with the Greeks he got bump
ed off. Which proves that Greek
wine even in those days did not help
a king keep his wits about him.
Electra, daughter of the king by
Clytemnestra decided to devote the
rest of her life to the business of
avenging her father, mission which
others also found to their liking. The
result was, two nice homicides which
were committed off stage much to
the disappointment of the audience.
The performance is good but a prac-
teal person like me could not help
wondering what the shouting was
about and why actors in classical
plays must speak in sepulcheral
tones. toss their cloaks around and
take long strides whether they have
any place to go or not. You get the
impression that the ancients were a
bunch of four flushers trying to
brighten people with their mouths ana
getting away with it. The play left
me cold and I would not be moved if
the entire population of Argos was
slaughtered behind the scenes.
Margaret Anglin, baptised "Anglin
the Great" by the generous AleXan-
der Woolcott of the New York World
was given a great ovation and de-
served it. Given a more modern trag-
edy she would bring tears, but
the murder of Agamemnon is too
seedy to get excited about, partlcu-
larly in an era that provides so much
competition in deeds of violence and
gore as the twentieth century.

CAPITALIST

CAPITALIST propagandIsts and
" even some labor leaders often
make futile comparisons between con-
ditions in Russia and conditions in
this country which leave out of &C
count the fundamental difference be-
tween the stage of economic develop
ment reached in the two countries.
England is more than a hundred years
ahead of Russia in industrial develop
ment, and she is therefore very much
richer. The latter's main problem
results from the fact that her herit-
age from the capitalists was so
meagre: the Soviet governments
main task is the creation of capital,
which can only be effected by refrain
ing from raising wages to a level at
which all the profit Of his labor comes
to the worker, ~ by charging high
prices for manufactured goods there
by Exploiting" the peasantry) In
England capital has been created fer
generations by the forced saving OF
the workers, entailing terrible SUI
fering ii the days Of the Industrial
Revolution, but the capital SO created
belongs not to them but to their eX-
ploiters, the capitalists, who forced
them to save. In Russia the "savl1g"
is for the benefit Of those who do 1t;
the whole people owns. and will awn,
the capital being created. Further
more. in spite Of the economic neccs-
sity of saving" in spite Of the rapid
industrialization of the country which
is proceeding, the workers in Russia
are undoubtedly very much better off
than before the revolution.
Tn the first place, hours have been
reduced to a maximum Of eight and
to six for men employed on specially
arduous, dangerous or firing labor,
such as coal-mining, working III blast
furnaces, bus driving, and heavy la
Dor in the oil Industry. Before the
revolution hours were anything from
nine to eleven and a half, tho latter
figure being very usual Before the
revolution no holidays with pay were
given. Now every worker gets two
weeks leave with full pay every year.
Those employed on the heaviest la
Dor, as specified above, get four weeks
instead of two. A large number are
further accommodated free of charge
during their holiday in rest houses.
Those who are i'll or in poor health
are sent for six weeks to a sanator-
ium, also free of charge, plus wages.
These rest houses and sanatoria are
to be found all over Russia, but the
largest number are in the Caucasus
and along the shores of the Black
Sea. where the palaces and summer
residences of the old mobility and
middle class have all been confiscated
and utilized for this purpose. I was
told by the head doctor of onc OF
them that 100000 people pass through
the sanatoria in these two districts
every summer.
I spent two weeks myself III such
q sanatorium at kislovodsk IN thI
Northern Caucasus. The conditions

We're learning to make the Commun-
list society of the future, and one
could not help contrasting them with
the many pale, thin children of our
towns, to whom no such opportuni-
ties of health are given.
A visit to Russia leaves one in no
doubt that Communism means "the
tNaltatior Of the common man" The
workers do realize that they now have
power, and apart from material inn
provements and all the social serv-
ices provided there is the paramount
fact that they are the rulers of the
country, that they have the right to
make themselves heard concerning
the management of the factory where
they are employed, to have abuses
remedied, to appeal to a tribunal of
fellow-workers if they feel they have
been uniustly pcnalized or dismissed.
In each factory the workers them
selves are held responsible for the
amount produced, and they suggest
changes in methods of production and
working arrangements through their
elected factory committee. This COM
mittee (elected every six months by
all the workers in the enterprise) has
many functions. 1t participates with
the management in drawing up the
internal regulations for the factory,
in making estimates and plans of out
put. 1t adjudges fines for faulty
work and it even proposes the candi-
dates for the control and manage
mert Of the factory-the "Red" di-
rector, etc. It is the local represen-
tative of the trade union and It holds
sort OF watching brief over the man
agement to ensure the due observ-
ance of the labor laws. trade union
wage agreements. social insurance
administration and so forth. Every
thing is done to make the workers
realize that the factories are their
factories and that the future of the
, country is in their hands. To appre-
ciate fully the tremendous Importance
Of the new management of industry
one must recall the brutal tyranny
Of the capitalists who owned the fac
tories before the revolution. In addi-
| ton to low wages and long hours,
/ the workers had to submit to being
treated and spoken to as coolie work
PTS are treated by their white employ
ers today. The workers in Russia to-
i day know that their future is bright
one, know that the available wealth
of the country is being fairly dis
tributed, and know that the existing
machinery is being worked to its full
est capacity.
/ If some of the wages quoted sound
! low it must be remembered that food
is much cheaper than here, that hous-
ing is either free or paid for by a
very low rent, and that the social SER
vices of various kinds received by all
workers are equivalent to something
like 90 per cent to 80 per cent on to
their wages.
| One leaves Russia feeling that it is
really true that the economic struc-
ture of socialist society is being built
up by the conscious efforts of work
ers and peasants, and one leaves It
with the impression that it is a coun-
try where progress has already been
so rapid that everyone hopes and be-
lieves in the future.
