The government is trying to con-
meet Rothstein with an interna-
tional narcotic ring.
One question to which the gov
eminent seeks an answer is:
Why did Sidney Stajer, arrested
for being an international dope sell
Ter, inherit the income from SIS 900
for ten years under Rothstein's
will?
The government claims that is
evidence of something or another,
although Stajer claimed he and
Rothstein had been business part
ners for fifteen years.
There is some hope that the .38
caliber pistol with which Rothstein
was shot may be traced.
Also New York police we're inter-
ested in the attempt to shoot Eddie
Diamond in Denver. Diamond is
said to have been an enemy of
Rothstein and the gunner held for
the shooting in Denver both are
from the east.
There might be a connection be-
tween that Denver shooting and
Rothstein's death, many say.

Cops Told to Turn Up
Something by Monday
or-Take Consequences.
BY MAX BUCKINGHAM
United Press stan Correspondent

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-Police
jumped hither and thither today
in an attempt to solve who killed
Arnold Rothstein, question that
looms much greater than the old
Cock Robin story, because they
have just until Monday to learn
that point.
Thus far most of the investigation
of Rothstein'S death has been done
in the city hall with Mayor Walker
doing the investigating and the
police nervously answering the
questions.
The mayors questions invariably
have been:
What has been Accomplishment"
and when that brought nothing
definite, the next question was
"Why?"
Thursday, Walker informed the
commissioner of police, detective
inspector, and group of detectives
that something had to be prodsced
by Monday or personally he would
take command.
1t was the first time in many,
many years that a New York
mayor has abandoned the duties
of unwilling statues and greeting
city visitors in order to take charge

<"HE northern lights have seen strange sights but so also have the sand
 dunes of the Syrian desert. and one of the strangest they ever did see happened recently, with a pretty and plucky American girl as the heroine.
 In an amazing series of adventures just re- ported by cable to the United States, Miss Alice Carr, Near East Relief nurse had thrilling es~ cape from death when her automobile almost plunged from cliff, and she braved the dangers of the desert alone, finally being rescued from the very jaws of pack of wolves.
 The tale of Miss Carr's mishaps opens in old Bagdad There, in 1928, life drones along much the same as it did hundred years ago. Peoples of every nation swarm through the narrow and crooked streets, congregate in the bazaars. and are steeped in the gloom cast by the roofing of beams and leaves which cover many of the thoroughfares.
 The hubbub of barter and exchange is inces- sant and it is carried on in many tongues. Fierce looking Bedouins stalk about; Moslem women shrink from the public gaze, snarling dogs and crying children are everywhere. under foot, and at regular intervals the crowds draw back to allow passage for the equipage of some Indian prince, come to Bagdad with his vast wealth, to end his days in the odor of sanctity
 From the public houses comes the ceaseless vail of Turkish music, with its nervous cadence savage theme pulses the hollow drum-beat as player thumps upon skin tightly stretched the mouth of large jar.
 Toward evening the high-fung minarets of the Kazemain Mosque stab like barbed darts into an opalescent sky, and the solemn call to prayer sweeps like the spirit of peace over the restless city. The faithful have left of work, and having made their peace with Mohamet and Allah, they proceed to amuse themselves after the leisurely fashion of the Orient Far out upon the muddy Tigrs coaored lights blink and glow as British or Turkish steamers wheeze up or down the river The orange curve of the moon peeps serenely over the rim of the horizon, silhouetting the mys terious architecture of this Eastern city, and night has come to Bagdad.
 It was in this setting that. according to .

she might, Miss Carr could not hold the auto mobile to its true course. After several hours of struggling the car gave a sudden backward leap toward the brink of . lofty precipice.
 Miss Carr twisted the wheel hard over the other way. The automo- bile responded, headed up the bank, and the motor raced. But it was no use-the sand was too soft, and the car slid slowly back and down until the back wheels hung over the cliff. Miss Carr waited in agonized suspense. Fortunately the floundering car came to a halt. The ri9ht-hand wheel caught on a tree stump which supported the automobile in this precarious position.

and stifng heat rose from the baking sands
 Taking stock of the situation, the Amer S ican nurse decided that the only chance tt for rescue lay in finding one of the rowing bands of outlaws who live on ( the plains. It was not an attractive prospect. If she was lucky she might get off with her life, but she was al- S$..p@aq, most certain to lose the car and its equipment. She, of course, had de- am termined to say nothing of the $10 ,0OO hoping " to conceal this if she was fortunate enough to find aid.
 Accordingly Miss Carr set out on foot. She took her bearings, so that she might return to the car if she wished. Night found her some miles away in the dreary wastes. She ate a little, drank sparingly of water, and lay down to sleep. The next day she pushed on again, but no welcome, moving specs loomed on the horizon Up and down the dunes she trudged, shielding herself best she could from the blinding sun and hoping against hope for rescue.
 At the end of the second day Miss Carr found her strength failing. There was no further object in pushing on into the desert She would have just as much chance standing by the car. Ac- cordingly she turned and retraced her steps After spending three nights beneath the stars she again reached the stranded automobile
 That night the pretty American nurse was troubled by strange dreams. She seemed to hear a mouraful moaning yet could not imagine whence it came. In the morning she found out Gazing across the desert she saw a gray body move silently over the crest of dune, It was followed by others, and they were all headed toward HER
 The trail of this human being and the sup plies which she carried had been picked up by pack of rowing wolves. Ordinarily the wolves would not attack human being, but this par ticular pack was half-starved, Gosded to fury by the bangs of hunger. and led by an unusually ferocious chief. the animals decided to attack.
 They were upon Miss Carr before she realized it, and she had no opportunity to get her weapons from the interior of the automobile Instead she had only slight club which she happened to be holding at the moment with which to fight of the mass attack of snapping, snarling wolves out to kill.
 For . few moments she fought them on the ground, but 1t soon became evident that her battle was losing one, and that it was only question of minutes before she would be torn to pieces. Determined to sell her life as dearly as possible, Miss Carr looked about for some way of escape, and hit upon daring scheme.
 Watching her chance, she leaped for the auto mobile, and succeeded in scrambling on top of the car before the nearest wolf reached her. Here was measure of temporary safety, no mat ter how dubious The wolves could not reach her

special cable dispatch, Miss Carr, pretty Near East Relief nurse and native of Yellow Springs, Ohio, found herself at the beginning of 1928. Adventure is not the abstract quality for Miss Carr that it is for some. She served nurse during the World War; and learned the song of the 92 up Verdun way. Then came peace, and civilization tried to put the brake on the tempo of life urged to racing speed by the hysteria of combat.
 Some succeeded in slowing down, but Miss Carr still sought adventure, so she joined the Near East Relief and went to Bagdad. On par ticular January afternoon there was considerable discussion and even consternation around relief headquarters in the latter city. A 1000 fund for Assyrian relief reposed in the safe. Tho money was urgently needed in Smyrna, about . thousand miles away, and there was no one to take it.
 Miss Carr volunteered to undertake the haz- ardous mission, and although some of the execu- tlves objected strenuously to exposing a woman to the dangers of such trip, the exigencies of the situation forced them to accept her offer Accordingly she set about making preparations and early one morning drove out of Bagdad alone, threaded her way through the cemeteries where the faithful are buried on their sides facing Mecca. and started for Smyrna.
 In her automobile Miss Carr carried camping equipment and provisions. The first part of the journey was not difficult of achievement, and she humn1eo happily when the end of the first dav showed satisfactory number of miles on the speedometer.
