PEACOX'S MURDER
STORY IS DOUBTED
Detectives Seeking to Show
Torch Killer Had Planned
to Stay Wife.

BY the Associated Press.
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y, May Earl
F.. Peacox, youthful radio expert, was
in Westchester County Jail today
charged with the murder of his wife,
Dorothy, while detectives sought evil
dence to show the crime was premedi-
tated. The case will be presented to
the grand jury Monday.
Peacock was charged with murder
after he had made confession in
which he told how a trivial quarrel on
the night of April 81 had led to a
physical encounter that ended when
he strangled his wife after blow with
a pistol butt had failed to subdue her.
His confession included an account
of taking the body to a secluded spot
on the Ardsley road near Scarsdale
early Monday, April %. then returning
to the thicket where he had hidden it
the following Saturday, saturating it
with kerosene and setting fire to 1t.
Crime Clippings Play Part.
Westchester County authorities, how
ever, indicated that they were not con-
yinced that the killing was the outcome
CT sudden burst of anger, as PeacoX
said, engendered when his wife, from
whom he had been estranged, referred

Papers found in his effects were ex-
hibited by detectives to show that Pea
cox had more than a passing interest
in murder cases and their solution.
Newspaper clippings of the confession
of Colin Campbell Close. awaiting trial
for the torch Staying" of Mrs. Mildred
Mowrey at Crawford, N. j., were found
among his effects. Also copies of the
confessions of Judd Gray and Ruth
Snyder and manuscripts purportlng TO
give possible solutions for the killing
of Dorothy King and Joseph Elwell in
magazine contest.
Girl Held as "Alibi" Witness.
His efforts to provide an explanation
for any who might have seen him carry
the body of his wife from his apartment
in Mount Vernon, N. Y, in the early
hours of April % landed Miss Frances
Newman, alias Murray. in jail under
$4,000 bail as a material witness.
Miss Newman was arrested when de-
tectives learned she had been at Pea
cox's apartment after he had removed
the body of his wife and that he had
arranged to produce her as the drunk
en- woman" whom he had carried out OF
his apartment to explain the removal of
his wife's body. Authorities said they
were convinced she knew nothing of the
killing at the time she was with Peacock.
Peacock denied killing his wife until
detectives confronted him with kero-
sene-stained suit, a pistol, a bottle of
kerosene and a square of blood-stained
linoleum found in the apartment he
had occupied.

countrywide Democratic organization
that will be virile, going institution,
functioning at all times in the interest
of Democratic policies and doctrines as
set forth by such great Democratic
statesmen as Thomas Jefferson, Andrew
Jackson and Woodrow Wilson.
Speaking both for myself and for
my colleagues who have helped in the
accomplishment of this program, we
feel very happy that we have been able
to persuade Mr. Shouse to undertake
this party service. We looked the entire
country over and could find no man
better fitted to fill the necessary re-
quirements. Mr.. Shouse has the adj
vantage of a national acquaintance with
party leaders enjoyed by few men,. He
was member of the Kansas State SEN
ate where. through two legislative ses-
sions, he filled the post of chairman of
the appropriations committee. Later he
served in the Congress of the United
States as the Representative of the
largest wheat growing district of the
country. He was member of the
banking and currency committee of the
House under the Craftsmanship of Hon.
Carter Glass, and had large part in
the framing of the Federal farm loan
act and amendments to the Federal
reserve act made necessary by the
exlgencies OF the war. When Mr. Glass
became Secretary of the Treasury. he
personally selected Mr. Shouse as AS
sistant Secretary of the Treasury. to
which position he was appointed by the
Hon. Woodrow Wilson.
Active in Five Conventions.
mfr. Shouse has taken an active part
in the last five Democratic national
conventions. In 1920 and again in 1924
he was one of the leaders In the move
ment to nominate william G. MeAdoo
for the presidency. In 1928 he gave
his entire time to the campaign to elect
Alfred e. Smith President of the United
States and was one of the principal
executives at national headquarters IN
New York as a member of our advisory
committee.
Mr.. Shouse comes from the Middle
West. He was born in Kentucky. son
OF the Rev John S. Shouse. His an
cestors were among the early settlers
OF that State. His more recent associa-
tons have been with the States of Mis-
souri, and Kansas, where he has ex-
tensive interests in farming and bank
ing. His background, his training, his
acquaintance. his business experience
and his demonstrated capacity pecu-
liarly adapt him to assume the respon-
sibilities of party administration that
win fall upon him as chairman of the
executive committee.
There will be regular meetings of
the executive committee here In wash
ington every month in which both Sen
ator Peter Goelet Gerry, chairman of
the advisory committee, and I will par
ticipate.
Il bespeak for Mr.. Shouse the cor
dial. unselfish and unqualified support
OF Democrats and Progressives of every
section OF the country in the important
task that he has agreed to assume"

GRAND JURY FAILS TO ACT.
None Indicted in Wrecking Of Textile
Union HEADQUARTERS Building.

GASTONIA, N. c., May (R-Fail-
ure after examination Of 100 witnesses
to find sufficient evidence upon which
to indict any one for the wrecking of
Headquarters Building of the National
Textile Workers Union here April 10
was reported to Superior Court Judge
A. M. Stack by the CASTOR County
grand jury yesterday.
A band of masked men, armed with
axes and crowbars, swooped down on
the frame building used as headquarters
by the organization which is directing
a strike of employees of the Loray Mill,
early on the morning Of April 10. They
drove out 10 union men, who were
sleeping in the building and attacked
the side walls until the roof fell in.
Gov. Gardner called on Solicitor Car
penter to take immediate action and
the special grand jury investigation was
launched.
The grand jury reported that damage
done to the building and to the store
of the International Relief Fund, which
also was attacked by the band, did not
exceed $500.
Two special deputies enrolled by the
CASTOR County sheriff to protect the
Loray Mill property were indicted by
the grand jury for assault. They are

Says:

BOSTON, Mass, April 30.--Did
you see the figures issued by the
Department of Commerce about the
amount men spent on cosmetics to
beautify themselves? Didn't I tell
you they are getting vainer over
their looks than women. They spent
over one billion dollars, and there
is more bald-headed ones and more
ugly ones and more looking
ones than we ever had before. They
viii try anything in the world that
woman does. They will have
dresses on in less than ten years.
Beauty parlors are thicker than fill
ing stations. But more power to
the people that run 'em, for they
earn it, for having to listen to peo-
pie with nothing on their mind but
wanting to look better. Yours,

Taplins Move With Pennsylvania.
Between the Wabash and the West

Charles T. Taplin, and the Wheel

said it was accepted that the Taplins
would act In concert with the PenSyl-
vania in the merger move.
Merger with the Wheeling & Lake
Erie recently was asked by the C. g. o.
The Times pointed out that the move
OF the Pennsylvania is blow not only
to the b. 81 O. and the c. g. O., but
to the New York Central, and might
force the Central, heretofore neutral, to
come out openly In support of the
merger plans of the B. & o. and the

The Times said it is understood the
Pennsylvania had sought to win the
support of the New York Central by
offering control of the Lehigh Valley
in return that the Central refuse Ia
the B. & o. full control of the Reading
and the Central of New Jersey, both
OF which the B. g. O., desires. The
paper said the Pennsylvania new plans
are interpreted as indicating it has re-
linquished hope of active support from
the Central.

with the Pennsylvania started when the

complete the transcontinental system.

A sink out in the middle of the
kitchen is very convenient, espe-
cially If 1t is built with sufficient
fiat surfaces to hold the dishes wait
ing to be washed or to stack those
that are finished, or accommodate veg
etables or other food which must be
cleaned before cooking. There is no
special reason why water pipes must
always stick to the kitchen wall. Ho-
tells and restaurants use the center
sink frequently, so that many people
can handle dishes without colliding
with each other. Laboratories often
have sinks that are similarly acces-
sible from any side.
Putting the sink in the center of an
unusually large kitchen cuts in half
the distances to be walked in handling
food and clearing up meal, so it is
one of the best changes that can be
made in undermining an old-fashioned
kitchen. Where the wall space is
broken by many doors or windows or
cupboards, the sink away from the
wall provides a necessary work center
without displacing other fixed equip
ment.

SAME PRESCRIPTION
HE WROTE IN 1892

When DR.. Caldwell started to practice
medicine, back in 1875, the needs for q
laxative were not as great as today.
People lived normal lives, ate plain,
wholesome food, and got plenty of fresh
air. But even that early there were
drastic physics and purges for the relief
of constipation which DR.. Caldwell did
not believe were good for human beings.
The prescription for constipation that
he used early in his practice, and which
he put in drug stores in 1892 under the
name of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsln,
is liquid vegetable remedy, intended
for women, children and elderly people,
and they need just such mild. safe
bowel stimulant.
This prescription has proven its worth,
and is now the largest selling liquid
laxative. 1t has won the confidence OF
people who needed it to get relief from
headaches, biliousness, fatulence, indi,
gestion, loss of appetite and sleep, bad
breath, dyspepsia, colds, fevers. At your,
