Cigarette Causes Death
 Of Chicago Pedestrian

Chicago, Oct. 31 P-If the stranger had bought his own cigar cites with one of the three S1 bills found in his pocket instead of beg ging Charles Bowen for one, he probably would be alive today.

 "Oh. yes you have" said the stranger, snatching from Bowen's lips a cigarette.
 They fought. The man was knocked to the sidewalk and his skull fractured. He died shortly afterward.

I. A. B. CARD TOURNAMENT
First of Series to Be Played To- morrow Night-Prizes Will Be Awarded Prior to Thanksgiving.

The first of series of card
 tournaments which will be played every Tuesday evening until Thanks
 giving, will be held tomorrow night
 at the Y. NJ. T. A. & B. society club rooms on Main street. The leaders among the men who are considered experts at 45' have grded their Joins for a fierce series of combats Thirty games will be played each night, no partners, all individuals playing. The winners will be awarded with a turkey to the man winning the highest number of
 games. A chicken will be second
 prize.
 Visitors at the rooms during the summer months have now discovered
 the reason for the continuous ap- pearance of Billy McInerney and
 Patrick Kelly in the card rooms When others hied themselves off in
 search of cooling breezes, this pair stuck by the boards welding the ive-spots and the Jack of hearts followed by the ace for best trump and they are among the most feared
 of the legion that has entered the
 contest.
 However, Dennis Mahoney has
 sand paperod his finger tips to such an entent that he can feel the spots
 on the cards and he stands ready to
 eat turkey for Thanksgiving and , Christmas. He fears no man ex- cept Patrick Nolan whose long suit
 is to slip in on the dealer. Mahoney has the consolation of knowing that Nolan will be alone.
 Those who are in on tn" know figure that the amateur fight tourna- ments will be child's play to the bat ties that will be waged with the paste boards for the next few weeks.

Offers New Theory
of Vanished Crew

London.-(R,-The sailing brig
Marie Celeste" set out from New
York November z, 1872, bound for
Genoa. with a cargo Of 1,700 bar
rels Of alcohol.
Several weeks later a Nova SEQ
tia vessel saw the ''Marie Celeste"
under full sail off the coast of Por-
tugal. The captain hailed her and
got no reply. Boarding the vessel,
he found her crew gone, hatch
way opened, a barrel of alcohol
which had apparently been tam
pcrcd with, few spots of blood on
the deck. and everything else in
order. The log showed that tho
ship had sailed herself for ten
days.
No trace of the crew was ever
found, and for IS years the mystery
of the marie Celeste" has re-
manned an unfathomablc mystery.
Now, under tho title "A Great
Sea Mystery" J. G. Lockhart has
offered in book form a solution of
the quandary, based on his reading
of official documents.
Lockhart believes that the "Ma-
RE Celeste" was abandoned by her
captain and crew under q misap-
prehension that her cargo Of alco-
hol was about to explode. He sug-
gests that there was an alarm and
the cargo was examined. Two slight
explosions seemed to have caused
panic. The captain snatched up
his chronometer, suggests Lock

could, and the whole ships COM

Cutting Code Words
Conference Problem

Washington.-(R)-The length OF
code words in international radio
communication is expected to pro.
vide one Of the complex problems
which the International Radio-tele-
graphic Conference, meeting here
in October, will be called upon to

international agreements at pres
ent fix ten letters as the length of
code, words, and numerous indi-
vidual, official and commercial
codes now in use are based on that
number. Agreement is practically
unanimous among communications
experts Of al nations, however, that
code words of such length are q
hindrance to rapid and accurate
transmission, because operators find
it difficult to take in at q glance
ten btters which to them are mean
ingless.
"A limit Of five letters has been
suggested, but since this would re-
duce the time required for trans.
mission, the question has arisen Is
to what reduction should be made
in the tolls. British concerns are
understood to favor reduction Of
the rates virtually by half. Ameri-
can operators, on the other hand,
assert that costs Of transmission
are not directly proportional 70, the

British Flyers Fall
Thrills Tiny Village

Sommerberg, Upper Austria
(AP)-Aviation provides thrills for
hamlets which are leagues out
of touch within the world of dare
and-do. The same kind of a sur.
prise that came to Ver-Sur- Mer
French fishing village, when Com
mander Byrd and his crew landed
there after their transatlantic
flight, came to Sommerberg when
the British Hawker- II orseley bomber
bound for British India in nonstop
flight flopped into the Danube re-
Gently.
Nobody in the village had the
slightest knowledge that an airplane
was in the vicinity. Villagers rose
to the occasion and fished the badly
injured Flight Lieutenant E. c.
Deavth and his companion, Lieut.. G.
r. Carr, out of the water. Then the
village declared a fete.
