Blues Threaten,
But Cannot WIN
In ScorelSs Tie With Brooklyns
Of Waterbury

Although the New Britain Blues
outrushed the Brooklyn team Of
Waterbury in a football game In
that city yesterday, it was held to
a scoreless tie in well-played game.
During the game the New Britain
team made IA first downs to eight
for the Waterbury team. The spec
tators were held in suspense until
the final whistle due to the fact that
the Blues were completing forward
passes on all side of the field.
A golden opportunity to score
came toward the end of the first
half. but time cut short the chance
of the New Britain team. When the
half time whistle sounded, the ball
was on Waterbury's three yard line
in possession of the Blues. At the
rate the Hardware City team was
travelling at the time the crowd fig
ured one more play would have
brought score.
In that half the Blues completed
eight out of 10 passes and in the
last half the team completed four
out OF seven. Another tough break
came in the second last play of the
game when L. Puppel dropped the
ball behind the goal line on a prett,
lateral pass play.
Howard Belser. former New Brit
ain High school and Fordham uni
versity star, played his first game
with the Blues and was the out
standing star of the game.

Opening Markets

BU United Press
NEW YORK, Aug. 11.--Stocks
generally were lower at the opening
today and continued to sell off in
the early trading. Chrysler, the
favorite of Fridays session, was un-
der heavy pressure, while leaders
like Steel, General Motors, Mont
gomery Ward, Radio and American
Can declined as much as a point in
some instances, few making re-
coveries. Trading was dull.
Weekly trade reviews continued
optimistic On the fall outlook, but
offsetting these reports was the an
nouncement made late Friday that
bankers acceptances for $50 and
180-day maturitieS had been ad-
vanced 1s of l per cent. The lat
ter change lent strength to the be-
lief that the rediscount rate would
be advanced at the New York center
i'll the near future.
Chrysler opened 1000 shares at
921z to 8112, off "a to 344 from the
previous close. hTe issue then be-
gan a slow recovery, turning over
in large blocks. Dodge A was fairly
active around the previous close.
General Motors lost point to 1929,
while Packard declined to its previ-
Gus close, at rs from an early high
of 751s, Hupp held steady at 59%
and Hudson rose Il to 79A.
Schultz retail stores was active
and fractionally higher. Warner
Brothers Pictures A declined 23s to
751s.
Describing the market, the Wall
Street Journals financial review to-
day said:
Weekly reviews of merchantile
conditions continued to express
great cheerfulness regarding au-
tumn prospects on basis of sub
stantial gains in major lines COM
pared with a year ago. However,
stocks were inclined to be heavy
again in early dealings, due to the
prevailing uncertainty over credit
conditions.
Further stiffening of bankers
acceptance rates have carried them
to levels where ali early increase in
the local rediscount charge is indi-
Gated. This situation caused con-
siderable selling of the principal
industrialS."

'SHlPWRECK' KELLY
IN CITY NEXT WEEK

brought to the city under auspices
of The Times.
The champion flagpole stander
will climb to his perch above the
hotel, across from the Federal build
ing, at Pennsylvania and Ohio Sts.,
at o'clock Tuesday morning and
will remain there until 1:l3 Satur-
day afternoon.
All that time he will be standing
on small metal disk, without sleep,
and with no regard to weather con-
ditions.
13 His Lucky Number
Asked today why the extra thir-
teen minutes Is attached to the
standing time Of the performance,
Kelly declares that he believed
13 to be his lucky number. Kelly
does not claim to have accomplished
so many apparently impossible and
hazardous deeds on luck alone, but
the figure 13 has been involved so
prominently in his career that he
continues to "string with it,"
''For instance" Kelly said, II
was born on May 13, 1893, started
out as human fly on the 18th of
the month, followed thirteen haz-
ardous vocations as classified by life
insurance companies, adventured
to sea at the age of 13, followed
the sea for thirteen years ard en-
tered service for the World War
on Aug. 13, 1914.
'I sailed on the first American
ship to run the blockade after we
entered the war, on Friday, April
Is, 1917. My first endurance feat
Non f1agpole was on an flagpole
thirteen feet high on thirteen
story building"
Plenty of Thrills
Kelly, notified by his manager,
Howard Fogg, of his engagement
here for Aug. IA, said: "I don't see
why arrangements couldn't have
been made for the stand to begin
one day earlier"
However, the show will go on and
according to press reports of his
performances in other cities it will
be rare exhibition indeed, furnish
ing plenty of thrills in addition to
giving the greatest example of hu-
man endurance on record here.
Kelly clans that his remarkable
stamina and endurance are due
largely to living an outdoor life with
plenty of proper exercise. He is 35
years of age and never has spent a
dime for medicines.

DEATH HUNT FUTILE
Suspect in King Killing Is
Still at Large.

Police and detectives have traced
Philip H. Smith, suspect in the
killing of Terrence King, 27-year-
old rum runner, to several places
since the shooting Thursday at the
Green Mill barbecue, but always
have been too late to get their man,
Detective Chief Jerry Kinney said
today.
Although detectives still are seek
ing Smith here and running down
numerous clews, there is strong
possibility that the 30-year-old boot
logger has left the city, Kinney said.
He probably has spent the two
days since the Shooting gathering
an outfit of clothing and raising
what money he could and now hS<
left, Kinney believes. Smith fed
from the Green Mill barbecue after
the shooting without hat and coat.

INDIANAPOLIS, SATURDAY, AUG. II, 1928
Coat Stained Vith Blood First
Cleo Found in GaSbibe Murder
Scientists Aid Police to
Follow Dim Trail in
Teacher Staying.

Bg United Press
EVANSTON, Ill, Aug. 1.-THE
science of chemical analysis came
to the aid of authorities today in
an attempt to bring about solution
of the murder of Miss Jennie Con-
stance, teacher, writer, traveller and
lecturer.
Coroner's Chemist william D. Nc
Nally, with the assistance of three
Northwestern University scientists
sought to analyze blood stains on
two shirts and a coat found in the
room of John Burke, As.
Burke was arrested as suspect
Wednesday, less than twelve hours
after Miss Constance, English de-
partment head at Bradley Polytech-
mic College, Peoria, Ill, was found
beaten to death near the hedge on
the lawn of George H. Peaks
wealthy Evanston resident.
Miss Constance was a post-grad-
uate student at Northwestern and
last was seen alive at the university
library near where she was slain.
Stains Are Blood
University chemists, whose serv-
ices were offered by President John
Dill Scott of the university, agreed
that stains on the clothing found
stuffed in the plumbing of the base
ment of Burke's home were blood
stains. They said an attempt had
been made to wash the stains from
the shirts.
The clothing was the first clew
which approached anything tangible
during the f1ve-day search for Miss
Constance'ss attacker and slayer.
Police Chief william Freeman,
who at the request of alarmed resi-
dents of the wealthy North Shore
returned from a vacation to take
charge of the search, said 1t was
learned that Burke had been ar
rested eighteen times in Milwaukee
for acts Of moronism.
Can't Give Alibi
Burke told authorities the cloth
ing found in the basement was used
to prevent an overflow from a sewer
He denied all knowledge of the
crime, but was unable to account
for his whereabouts Monday night,
when 1t is presumed the 42-year-old
instructor WAS slain
The stains on the garments,
chemists said, If proved to be blood,
will be compared with stains found
on the two-foot length of iron pipe
with which Miss Constance was
slain. The pipe was found lying
in pool of blood near her body.
The three university chemists
professors F. G. Whitmore, A. F.
Walcott and II. c. Benedict, also
will examine table napkin found
near the hody. The napkin was
traced to North Shore hotel, but
was without any traces of blood.

Daylight Robbers Get S126
in Kroger Grocery
and Flee.

Two daylight bandits held up the
Kroger grocery ard meat market at
1887 N. Capitol Ave, at $3.50 this
morning and escaped with more
than $126, after locking three en-
ployeS and a woman customer in
the refrigerator. -
The bandits tore paper from the
inside of the ice box so the prisoners
inside would be seen by the first
person entering the store.
A woman customer, whose name
was not learned by police, entered
a few minutes after the hold-up and
released the entrapped quartet from
the near zero temperature Of the
refrigerator.
When the bandits entered, one
stopped near the door. The other
advanced to the meat counter and
ordered "a nice round steak, cut it
medium" from Robert Mahan, 1916
N. Illinois ST., the butcher.
Ordered to "stick EN- Up"
The one at the door drew a gun
and said, well, they might as we'll
stick 'em up"
Eyes, stick 'em up" said the
other.
Only the man at the door had
a gun. He advanced to Clarence
Hall, 1886 N. Capitol Ave, grocery
manager, and made him raise his
arms.
Paul Gentry, 2454 N. Alabama ST.,
grocery clerk, came from the back
room and the unarmed bandit
grabbed him and forced him behind
the meat counter.
Miss Mary Meyers, go, of 3612
Kenwood Ave, a customer, was
standing at the grocery counter with
$40 in her hands. She showed the
money under a cracker box and
saved it.
Forced Into Ice Box
The bandits then put the three
store employees and Miss Meyers into
the ice box and looted the cash
registers. They took $2e45 from
the meat market cash box and more
than 500 from the grocery register,
according to Hall.
The two men dashed to a blue
green Overland car, parked on
Thjrty-Sixth st., and fled east.
Residents Of the neighborhood
said they saw the bandit car parked
at the side of the grocery Friday
afternoon and that then it carried
an Ohio license. Today it had an
Indiana license.
Both we're about %. One was
thirty or forty pounds heavier than
the other and several inches shorter.

tJ7o heat Friday after a severe
electrical storm which caused three
deaths and considerable property
damage.
The storm was preceded by day
of fog and intense humidity which

out for an hour during the storm
Trolley service was impaired and
automobiles marooned.
