MAN MYSTERIOUSLY SHOT
in APARTMENT HAUNTED
BY MEMORY OF WEIRD
CRIMES In NEW YORK CITY

Stalking about again, the ghost of
the battling butterfly murders" of
three years ago has been revived in
New York City. Police are search
ing Broadway's fringe for the mys-
terious assailants who shot and Sc
riously wounded Ignatz Salz, wealthy
fountain pen manufacturer.
In the same apartment house where
the beautiful Louise Lawson was
strangely stranged to death three
years ago-in .neighborhood re-
nowned for three unsolved violent
deaths-Salz was attacked by two
men who vanished as if in thin air.
Robbery Not Motive
The same deadly parallel of no mo-
tive save revenge, characteristic of
the Lawson, "Dot" King, and Joseph
B. Elwell murders, was drawn by de-
tectives investigating the case.
The gunmen, fleeing as Salz top
pied across the Threshold of his
apartment, ignored $4,000 in cur
rency, a diamond ring, and pearl
stickpin he carried. Salzca n throw
no light on the attack, nor describe
the men.
Girl Guest Keeps Silent
He says he was expecting dinner
guest and answered the ring of his
doorbell. Two men muffled up in
heavy coats, greeted him. In an in
slant Salz was shot, and the pair
dashed to waiting motor car outside
and disappeared. pretty blond girl
who said she had a dinner engage
ment with Salz called at his apart
ment a short time later and tainted
when told of the shooting. She re-
fused to give her name to detectives,
explaining that she was married.
Louise Lawson was murdered IN
the same house by two men who
strangled her to death and escaped
with thousands of dollarsw orth OF
Jewels. Their attack was we'll plan
ned. Knowing that she received
gifts of liquor at certain hours, they
went to the apartment house and had
no trouble getting by servants who
believed them carrying bottles. A
short time later her body was found
but no clew to the murderers has ever
been uncovered.
Girl Killed and Robbed
Dorothy King was chloroformed In
her apartment near that of Miss Law
son. The body, clad only in a SILK
chemise, was found after she mad
been dead six hours. Gems worth
S14,S50 were missing. Prominent
men were identified as her friends
but the murderers have never been
located.
In tn same neighborhood Joseph
Elweil, bridge expert and prominent
Broadway figure, was found shot TO
death. His body was in a chair
Police believe he was killed by some
one who secreted himself in the apart
, ment.
Haunted by these murders and at
tacks, the neighborhood is wondering
what will be the next outrage and who
the victim. Meanwhile detectives seek
the ghost of the unsolved murders.

M'ADOO CHAMPIONS PROHI
CAUSE IN TOLEDO ADDRESS

Toledo, Ohio-Declaring that the
transcendent problem before the
country today is the problem of law
and order, Hon. William Gibbs Nc
Adee delivered the principal address
here Friday at the midwinter meeting
of the Ohio State Bar Association.
Taking for his subject, "Prohibi-
ton, Notification and Lawlessness," !"
Mr.. McAdoo, former secretary of the
treasury, and now a California law
yer, emphatically stated that the pro-
hibition law is not responsible for the
so-called "crime wave" and further
more legalizing liquor would not les
sen crime.
Regulated, unregulated, or abso-
lutely prohibited, the liquor traffic
is the heart and center of the spiders
web of corruption, dishonesty and
dereliction of public duties which has
for so long undermined the effective
ness of popular institutions through
out large part of the nation," said
Mr.. McAdoo. He showed that re-
turn of the liquor traffic was not the
solution, but on the contrary the way
out lay in the path of duty and obe-
dience to law.
Mr.. McAdoo, in his address, to
which he called attention, did not dis
cuss the wisdom or unwisdom of the
Eighteenth Amendment to the con-
stitution, but he scored some of the
methods which have been used to
bring the law into disrepute.
Two Oustions sor Solution
"There are only two questions
which can properly be considered by
the American people at the present
time consistently with the principles
of our established institutions" Mr..
McAdoo declared, "and those are,
first, whether or not they desire to
repeal or modify the Eighteenth
Amendment by the means provided In
the constitution; and second, unless
and until such repeal or modification
is effected, what duties and obliga
tions under the Eighteenth Amend
ment rest upon the different depart
ments of the federal and state gov
ernments."
Mr.. McAdoo discussed the Eigh
teenth Amendment at length, show
ing how it was passed, that it wa
rightfully adopted and was no
Slipped into the constitution by alb
normal MEANS" as opponents of thu
law have argued. He showed tha
state enforcement of the law wa.
obligatory.
at is this failure on the part Of
public officials to live up to theil
constitutional obligations under the
Eighteenth Amendment that is the
most disquieting feature of the pro
hibition question" declared Mr.. Nc
5. Adoo. He said he did not refer tt
Congress, that it had discharged it:
duties under the amendment, "bu
there has been flagrant and motor
ious refusal on the part of certain
states of the union to perform theil
duties under the prohibition amend
] ment."
