TRYING ID SOLVE
 BRONX SHAVING Trail May Lead From Indiana
 to Europe

New York, Feb. 21 (UP)-A mur- der in a, Bronx apartment sent po- lice today on the trail of band of criminals that apparently had ramitications extending from Euro pean cities to Muncie. Ind, where Gerald Chapman once had his head quarters.
 The scene of the murder appeared to be the headquarters of the band. Cablegrams and letters there reveal ed operations in jewell robbery and smuggling, safe breaking and simi- lar exploits.
 About o'clock last night, tenants in the house heard a shot from the apartment on the ground floor. Sev- eral who came out into the hall saw man running out of the apart ment. with another man staggering after him, trying to hold his coat tails. Before they reached the street door, the second man dropped 10 the floor dead. A bullet had gone through his heart.
 A few minutes later, a fashionably dressed man and woman hurried from the apartment;
 Piano Playing When police arrived a few min- utes later. an electric piano in the apartment was still pounding out Blue Heaven" A bull pup whim- pered in a corner. Otherwise the place was deserted.
 Clutched in the dead mans hand was $1o2. composed of four s2 and 94 s1 bills. The revolver shot that killed him had drilled a neat hole through the stack of bills before it entered his body.
 The dead man had a police rec ord and was identified by finger prints as William Doyle, alias Doll, 33, former lightweight boxer. He had not been under police observa- ticn for nearly 10 years.
 Inside the apartment. detectives found evidence that caused a hurry call to District Attorney John F.. McGeehan, who was reinforced shortly by more than 50 detectives. QuarreIcd Over Money
 A bank book showed deposits in 6 bank in Muncie. where Gerald Chap man, the notorious bandit who was hanged in Connecticut, established a rendezvous with his pal. Dutch An- derson. to escape the surveillance of New York police. Anderson since was killed in Muskegon pistol fight. Apparently the occupants of the apartment had quarrelled over the division of money.
 The couple who rented the apart ment went under the name of Ber- kowitz, but police said they were Isaac German and his wife Anna, also known as Bess. They sometimes called themselves Berhan. There was no clue to the others identity. The apartment was lavishly furnished and expensive clothes were found in l it. Doyle was well dressed. |

 MASON F. ANDREWS"
 "Electrical Inspector
 In the discussion that followed many of the members expressed the opinion that Yonan's work created fire hazards that he was endanger- ing the city by inefficient wiring. Inspector Andrews expressed the opinion that if close inspection had been made 40 or 50 violations of the ordinances might have been dis covered. His opinion was corrobor- ated by Commissioner Dunlay who accompanied Andrews when he went to the house.
 Hearing Is Held
 Present at the hearing with the three representatives of the building commission were Mr. and Mrs. Ben jamin, Woman and one of his en- ployes.
 Answering the charges, Woman de- clared he was not willing to assume responsibility for all the work be- cause some of it was done by others in the employ of the Benjamins. Much of the faulty work was done by some of his employees. he claimed, and he was willing to be responsible for this.
 According to the Benj amins, Yo- nan had the contract to do all the work in the house. The committee offered Woman chance to repair any faults which the electrical inspec- tor might point out. This would be

 Maxwell Anderson's delightful three-act comedy Saturdays Chill dren," which has played for one year in New York, came to Parsons thea ter for three day engagement last evening with the New York cast intact. The attendance was not large but the audience reacted favor ably toward the play and expressed it's pleasure with cascades of laugh ter during it's presentation and three curtain calls at its conclusion.
 Although it is not supposed to be a serious show. many a truthful sit- uation, is revealed in Its most hu- morous aspects. The characters may be seen on the stage of life in any neighborhood. The tribulations which beset any young couple who launch their frail bark on the stormy sea of matrimony with just enough income to pay running ex- penses are at the bottom of the story. The young husband learns, after several months. that there were few sour notes in the weo- ding march from "Lohengrin" which he did not notice on the day of days. The young bride learns that washing dishes and performing the other necessary duties of homework has it's disadvantages. Both learn that a bare bread and butter existence, without any cake from life's cup board, begins to pail. Their bark is wrecked on Honeymoon Shoals but is salvaged by the salvangingest little fellow the world has ever known, none other than Skipper Dan Cupid himself.
 The play is presented with such polish and completeness that no one member of the cast stands out far above the others unless 1t be Ruth Gordon, whose interpretation of Bobby is a never ending source of delight to those who appreciate dramatic skill. Humphrey Bogart, playing opposite Miss Gordon, aA Rims O'Neil, is one of those finds made so rarely in the theater. Ruth Hammond is the scheming young matron whose high art as a ma. catcher provides a great deal of the comedy. Frederick Perry, as the understanding father. is true to type in the role which he created. Anne Tonetti appears only in the last act, as the keeper of a boarding house who don't trust young wimin" ana who insists that they keep the doors of their rooms open while entertain ing gentlemen callers. Her charac- ter study of the rusty and suspi- ciaus female with broken down arches Is perfect. Grace Roth San derson and Richard Barbee do not have a great deal to do but they do their little we'll.

Lloyd Hahn
Star NebraSkan Wins Mile
of Century in Easy
Manner.
BY FRANK GETTY
United Press Sports Editor

NEW YORK, March Lloyd
Hahn, the slim, silent Nebraskan,
who must be Americas main de-
pendence in the middle distance
events at Amsterdam next July, was
established today as the outstanding
athlete of the indoor track and
field season.
BY his victory in the Mile of the
Century" over his two most formid-
able challengers for middle distance
honols at Madison Square Garden
last night, while 10000 cheering
spectators looked on, Hahn capped
the climax Of a successful career
whichhas brought him thirty five
victories in thirty-six starts.
Peltzer Far Behind
DR.. Otto Peltzer, worlds record
holder at the half-m mile. who was
making his farewell appearance in
the United States, was left far be-
hind by the flying Nebraskan. while
Ray Conger of Illinois A. c., the
only man to defeat Hahn in three
seasons, was beaten by twenty yards.
That Hahn failed to equal or bet
ter the worlds record for the mile
must be attributed to the calibre Of
the opposition rather than to the
limitations of the Nebraskan.
Hahn was so far out in front that
he had to make all the running. and
even then came within one second
of the worlds record. held jointly
by Joie Ray of the Illinois A. C.
and Paavo Nurmi OF Finland. The
Nebraskan's time of Alb was re-
markable under the circumstances.
Devoid Of Thrills
The race, which was expected to
equal those in which Nurmi took
part here three years ago, proved de-
void Of thrills. for Hahn was away
in the lead with the crack of the gun
and neither of the others ever drew
up to his shoulder.
Two of those who attempted
"come-backs" in the K. of C. games
-Joie Fay and the Rev. Harold C..
Cutbill-failed dismally. Joe was
fifth in the two-mile run. Cutbill
finished last in half mile run.

NEW YORK, March 1.-The man
who might fill the place in the BOX
ing world left vacant Icy the retire
ment of Jack Dempsey faces the
supreme test of his career in
Madison Square Garden tonight
Jack Delaney of Bridgeport,
Conn, meets Tom Heeney Of Gis-
borne, New Zealand, in a scheduled
flfteen-round bout and a decisive
victory will send The French
Canadian down the trail to fistic
fame and fortune.
If the former heavyweight
champion knocks out Heeney, he
will be hailed as Jack Dempsey's
successor and the ballyhoo will be on
for a championship bout between
Gene Tunney and Delaney in
Yankee stadium on June a.
Simply because Delaney is popu-
lar with the mob he is Nthe favorite
to defeat Heeney at odds of to 5.
Delaney will be forced to concede
almost twenty pounds to Heeney,
and many experts believe it will be
too big handicap for him to sur
mount.
Jack carries a stick of dynamite
in his right hand and he has fioored
some big men. but he has yet to
knock out a really first-class heavy
weight.
Tom lacks the class and color of
Delaney. but he is a hard working.
plodding fighter who is ofttimes
better than he is given credit for
being. He has improved with ev-
cry fight and in his last appearance
against Jack Sharkey made the best
showing since he has been in this
country.
