BELIEVE SKULL
MAY BELONG TO
MURDER VICTIM

LOS ANGELES, May 90. U.P) -
The solution of the mystifying "tor-
so murder" today hinged upon the
possible identification of dental
work in the skull found by boys on
the bank of the Los Angeles river
late Saturday.
A. +. Wagner, county autopsy sur
geon. has made several examinations
of the skull since it was found. He
matched verterhrae ON the neck with
those of the torso, found floating in
the river six weeks ago, and said
he believed there was no doubt that
the skull belonged TO the torso.
Dental experts were called in i'm
mediately and charted the teeth. 1t
was said that the dental work was
distinctive and revealed that the
woman was about so years of age,
disputing the former police theory
that the torso was that of a young
woman possibly murdered through a
love motive.
Examination of the skull showed
that death was caused by fractured
skull. The woman had been struck
behind the left ear by a heavy in
strument, DIR. Wagner said.

NORTH HAVEN, Me, May 20.
U.D-The second anniversary of
the start of his epochal New York
TO Paris flight found Col Charles A.
Lindbergh today approaching an
other take off-this time into mat
limony.
Just as the eyes of the world
were focused upon him on May 90,
1927, so was he the center of the
news spotlight today, for all the
world loves a lover, and, as every
body knows the colonel is plan
ming to marry Miss Anne Morrow,
somewhere, soon.
AS Colonel Lindbergii quietly re-
Elected that two years had elapsed
since he flew to fame in the
esprit of st. Louis,'' residents of
this little island town continued to
speculate over the air IDOLS we'd

Silence and secrecy surrounded
the rambling white mansion at
Deacon Brown Point, where the
Colonel and Miss Anne were III
seclusion at the probable scene of
their forthcoming wedding.
Only once since they arrived here
unexpectedly in a giant Amphibian
plane with Mrs. Morrow late Sat
urday have the "flying colonel -
and his prospective bride ventured
forth.
Early last night they left the
house in a beach wagon driven by
one of Miss Morrow's sisters, rode
through the streets of the village,
and returned to the seclusion of the
guarded mansion before newspaper
representatives could either photo

YANKEE OWNERS
EX0NERATED in
SUNDAY TRAGEDY
Two Killed As Bleacher
Crowd Stampedes To
Escape Rain.

NEW YORK, May 20. U.H-Of-
ficials of the New York Yankees
baseball club were exonerated today
of blame in connection with the
death of two persons and the INJURY
of 63 yesterday when bleacher fans
were stampeded by rain.
District Attorney John E. Me-
Geehan of the Bronx said an investi-
CATION showed that there was no
negligence on the part of club Off
cials, and that the report that gates
were closed, making it impossible
for the crowd to get out, was un-
founded.
Eleanor Price; j., and Joseph Car
ter, so, both Of whom were trampled
in the tunnel way that leads from
the right field bleachers to the
street, died shortly after they were
injured. At least 20 of the persons
who were treated by physicians were
said to be in a serious condition.
About $4,000 persons were in the
stadium to see the Yankees play
the Boston Red Sox. In the third
inning it began to drizzle, but play
was continued with the crowd hold
ing newspapers over new straw hats
4 torrential rain broke in the
fifth inning, the umpires called the
game. which the Yankees won, 8 to
0, and the fans started for the exits
Those in the grandstand, protected
by the roof, moved slowly and calm,
ly toward the gates, but in the un.
protected bleachers everyone hur.
ried.
Eyewitnesses said a boy stumbled
in the corridor that leads from the
bleachers to the street. Two men
fell on top of him and soon five OF
six persons were on the ground.
The crowd surged on, trampling
on those who could not get to their
feet in time. Soon the tunnel was
jammed. Hundreds were fighting to
get into the covered passage.
Patrolman Louis Baer stood in the
street exit. Drawing his pistol he
ordered the men in front to help him
rip away the wire that forms the
side walls of the tunnel so that the
crowd could spread out underneath
the bleachers. AS the men stopped
to obey him the pushing became
more violent. Baer was showed
along ahead of the crowd which by
now had become panic stricken
Later the patrolman was taken to a
hospital where it was said he had
fractured ribs.
When Miss Price was brought into
the clubhouse, Babe Ruth immediate
ly went to the field and asked all
physicians among the departing
grandstand fans to help treat the
injured.
When Ruth returned he helped
doctors administer first aid. Miss
Price died in his arms.

BELGIUM BALKS
AT REDUCING
GERMAN DEBT
Stands Firmly Upon De-
mand For Payment of
Enormous Sum.
BY SAMUEL DASHIELL
United Press Staff Correspondent

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent)
PARIS, May 20.WH-Just as the
United States made a concession
that might have helped towards a
reparations agreement, Belgium
baked today on making any reduc-
tion in her demands on Germany,
and the progress of the negotiations
was blocked.
The reparations conversations
should have entered their decisive
phase today, with some hope of con
cluding this week, but the Belgian
position caused an upset at a four
power conference of Britain, Bel
gium, France and Italy today.
The day started auspiciously when
Thomas w. Lamont of the Ameri-
can delegation announced that Nor
man Armour, American charge d >
affaires in Paris, had received cable
authorization from President IIcov-
er to notify Owen ID. Young that
the United States is willing to ac-
cept a material reduction in
each annuity expected from Ger
many without altering the total.
The American offer meant in
creasing the number and decreasing
the amount of the country's an
nuities, would facilitate England 3
acceptance Of the scheme for divid-
ing Germany's contributions in war
damages, originally suggested by
Young.
At this mornings FOUR power con-
ference. Belgium firmly refused to
90 further in the negotiations until
she is satisfied on her claim for
25,O0O,0O0 marks which she insists is
due from Germany because of the
German deflation of Belgian cur
rency during the war.
The other powers argued all morn
ing but the Belgians silently shook
their heads. They refused to listen
to the allied arguments that the
problem really is between Brussels
and Berlin and is outside the Juris'
diction of the conference.

RAILROADS WIN
CASE AGAINST
|. e.. {. RULE
Long Disputed Point Is
Decided In Opinion BY
Supreme Court.
BY HERBERT LITTLE
United Press Staff Correspondent)

WASHINGTON, May 20. U.D =
Railroads won the billion dollar
O Fallon valuation case IN the Unit
ed States supreme court today.
The high court reversed the de-
eision of three judge st. Louis
federal court which refused to con
slider the validity of the interstate
commerce commission system of
making valuations for rate-making,
and profits purposes.
Railroads sought to overturn the
commission s system because it was
not based on the current repro
ductionr theory valuation. Judge
McReynolds' opinion said the court
was of the opinion that the inter
state commerce commission has. not
given weight to current values.
"The question before u.s." he
said, 'is not what weight is to be
given to this factor Reproduction
costs at current rates)."
Congress must be obeyed," he
said.
Justice McReynolds majority
opinion took less than 10 minutes to
read.
Justice Brandeis then announced
disagreement by himself and Justice
Holmes and Stone, indicating a six
to three division of the court.
The formal order of the court ma
jority was that the decision of the
lower three judges, upholding the
interstate commerce commission,
should be vacated and the order re-
versed.
Justice McReynolds' opinion stat
ed that the 1920 transportation act
specifically directed the commission
to take into consideration all rele-
want facts of valuation in fixing
rate basis.
The court, he said, had come to
the conclusion that the commission
failed to carry out the order of
congress.
The opinion did not rule as be-
tween current values and reproduc-
tion costs, beyond the statement
that congress ordered that all fac
tors be considered.

LEADERS
WRAN('[.E
ON SUGAR
Democrats Jubilant AT
Opportunity To Heckle
Republicans.
SECRECY ATTACKED
Senators Threaten To
Dare Expulsion Rule for
Talking.
By PAUL r. MALLON
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, May 20.U.H ~
Powerful tariff ammunition was OBJ
tanned today by the Democrats from
an unexpected source while house
Republican leaders We're preparing
farm duties amendments SO they can
work out arrangements for an
early vote on the pending bill in the
house.
Vice President Curtis handed
down to the senate report from
the tariff commission showing that
in 1924 majority of the commits
sion had recommended a reduction
in the sugar duty from 1.76 (the pre-
sent rate) to 1923 cents a pound. The
lesser figure represented the diff
ference in cost of production be-
tween Cuba and the United States
at that time, the commission held
after lengthy investigation.
In view Of the fact that Repub-
licans now are planning to boost the
Cuban rate to 2.40 cents a pound,
the report has elated the Democrats
who are fighting the proposed raise.
They are prepared to argue now
that there-is no justification for
sugar increase and that unless con-
ditions have changed during the
last few years, decrease is war
ranted.
! The fact that the sugar rate is tho
center of the tariff storm adds to
the Importance Of the Democratic
ammunition.
The report from the commission
was called for in resolution re-
Gently adopted by the senate. 1t was
introduced by Senator David !.
Walsh, Democrat, Mass.
Row On Secrecy
The old report was never made
public by President Coolidge, who
declined to act on it. The record
shows Mr.. Coolidge wrote an answer
to the commission pointing out the
minority report conflicted with the
majority opinion of the commission.
The senate became involved today
in a deep-rooted dispute over the
ScCICCy Win WAlCn ~ CANCAOPCu
self last week to confirm President
Hoover's nomination of Irwin Len
root of Wisconsin as customs
judge.
A somewhat sensational demon
stration against the secrecy rule is
planned by insurgents. Half a doz-
en- are considering rising in open
senate and daring the majority to
expel them for telling how they
voted upon confirmation. Senators
Blaine, Wisconsin, and Norris, Ne
braska, may deliver, in open session,
the speeches they made in executive
session. The senate rules provide
expulsion for any senator divulging
what happens. However, some sena-
tors have taken the position that
the rule is obsolete, except for poll
Ieal Vaccinations, and have declin-
| 4 to abide by it.
