BIZ United Press
LONDON, April 28-Scotland
Yard today wrote a tentative "finis"
to one of it's hardest and most sue
cessfuI cases when two men were
sentenced to death at Old Bailey
criminal court for the murder last
September of Police Constable G. w.
Gutteridge.
The men sentenced were Frederick
Browne, 46, and William Kennedy,
81. Their conviction for first de-
gree murder came after a four-day
trial.
Gutteridge, a patrolman in a
country district, was found shot to
death beside a road near Stalpeford
Abbots, in Essex county, Sept. q.
Eyes Shot Out
A bullet had been placed through
each eye after he was killed, be-
cause of the belief by the murderers
that Scotland Yard usually photo
graphed the eyes of murdered peo-
pie to see whether an image Of the
killer was engraved on the retina.
There was no apparent clew to
the murderers. Scores Of men were
put on the case.
Several days later an abandoned
motor car was found a few miles
from the scene of the murder. At
about the same time, twenty miles
away on the other side of London,
a pistol was fished up from the
River Thames as it flowed through
the HammerSnith district.
Auto, Gun Lead to Arrests
These two clewS had no apparent
connection with the crime, but
were connected, for theory purposes,
with it, and the story of the crime,
eventually was written around them.
A complete hypothesis was re-
constructed, involving a burglary,
theft of the car, and the use of the
pistol to kill Gutterdige. Four and
one-half monhs later a squad of
detectives arrested Browne and
from them, and on Feb. 6, they were
charged formally with the murder.

special Dispatch 10 The Star.
NEW YORK, May 29-Motor stocks
dominated the trading on the Stock
Exchange today. The general list was
higher, but the automobile shares made
the largest gains, the stimulating in
fluence being a reported merger of
Dodge Bros. with Chrysler. Fifteen
minutes before the end call money,
which had renewed at per cent, drop
ped to per cent, and thi, accelerated
the recovery. The close was strong at
the best of the day. Radio was one of
the late features on the side of ad-
vance
There we're number of special
moves ON the upside. They attracted
the more attention because they came
on the day following so sharp a break
The most conspicuous was that In
Chrysler This stock vas one OF the
few to show a net gain on Monday
when 1t closed at 3012. 1t started in
today on a block of %, 1000 shares up
az points and at a new high for the
present stock. It increased the gain IN
the later trading.
Buying of Dodge Preferred.
Another feature-also in the motor
list. and the motors we're leaders IN the
recovery--was the buying Of Dodge
Bros preferred. Here the advance ran
to more than II points. Mack TRUCKS
came back from 3 to points and
Studebaker scored a smaller gain. Cen

vanced with the rest of the market.

despite their long rise. have the PACK
ground of an extraordinarily SOUND
financial position. a steady demand ior

Copper Also Strong.
In less degree the movement OF the
motors was duplicated in the copper
stocks. The most conspicuous was
American Smelling & Refining, IN which
the gain was sharp. Anaconda. Cerro
de Pasco and Kennecott were moder-
atelv higher. Consolidated Gas headed
the advance In the utilities. Steel and
General Electric were heavily sold In
the early trading, but they were botn
strong later on. The oils we're more
irregular, some showing gains and
others losses.
Money renewed at per cent, against
the 6Ia per cent charge for new loans
Monday. The supply was said To be
equal to the demand. Six per cent Is
a highly attractive return for the out
of-town banks. and when the rate went
above that figure there was an increase
in the offerings The real guide to the
money market, however. Is the rate for
time funds. That was unchanged TO-
day at 5I2 per cent. ANY hardening
here would be highly significant.
Motors went still higher in the after
noon on the report that Chrysler was
to take over Dodge Bros. guarantee

will usher in Red Fund Week starts
tomorrow.
From early morning tomorrow
until late Sunday night, thousands
of workers turnout the city, men,
bers of the Workers (Communist)
Party and sympathizers with the
platform Of class struggle it pre-
sents, will spend their time collect
ing from their friends, shopmates
and fellow-members in fraternal or
CARNATIONS for the Communist cam
paign.
Along the streets, from house to
house, in all places where workers
congregate, Red collection boxes
will rattle in the hands of Red cam
paigners soliciting funds with which
to spread still further the militant
platform of the Workers (Commu-
nist) Party in the 1923 elections.
Activities Turnout City.
From every section of the city,
from faternal organizations, local
unions and other workers clubs,
come demands for Communist liter
allure, for Communist speakers, for
Communist platforms. The expense
involved in printing literature for
free distribution among workers is
tremendous, and the need for funds
is urgent.
The District Campaign Commit
tee, in appealing to class-conscious
workers of this city to collect for
and donate to the Communist cam
paign fund all next week, and
especially to participate in the tag
days of today and tomorrow, pointed
out in a statement last night that
only workers themselves-those for
whom the Communist platform
fights-can be appealed to for fl
nancial help. The state reads in part
as follows:
"The Workers (Communist) Party
fights for the exploited workers,

half million dollars have already
been donated to the democratic cam
paign fund, and more to the repub-

sent investments of captains of in
dustry which are calculated to bring
in heavy returns. Workers, too, must
invest in their party. Workers must
contribute all they can to the fight
our Party is waging against the po-
litical parties of the bosses and
against Dapltaltsin lJself.

NANKINC THREAT
AGAINST NORTH
MAY BRING WAR
Ultimatum to Jehol Is
Dispatched

PEKING, Oct. 19.-War clouds
again seem about to break between
the North and South as the Nank-
ing government is preparing to send
an ultimatum to- the war lord OF
the city of Jehol, in Chilli, calling
on him to admit the Marking armies
and threatening that unless he does
so force will be used.
Tang Yu-lin, the war lord of Je-
hol, has been flying the Marking
flag for the last three months, but
he has refused to submit to Nank-
ing authority. Jehol is strategic
point, for it is the key to northern
part of Manchuria, and is the only
route by which the Marking armies
can enter Manchuria and still avoid
the area forbidden by Japan.
Despite the membership of Chang
Hsueh-liang, dictator Of Manchuria,
in the Marking state council, there
seems little likelihood that he will
defy Japan openly, since it appears
that he favors the Jehol war lord
against Marking Tang Yu-lin has
lust been on visit to Mukden, con-
ferring with Marshall Chang Hsueh-
lang. There he obtained money,
munitions and troops.
