REPORT is EXPECTED
ON POLICEMEN TODAY
Bride and Dawson to Present
Statement on Shelby and Kelly
to Commissioners.

Corporation Counsel William W..
Bride and Assistant Engineer Commits
sioner D. A. Dawson will report on
their "Shelby-Kelly" investigation to-
day. The presentation of the repolt l.,
Mr.. Bride said this morning. was await
ing the convenience of Mai. Dawson,
who has been engaged with other mat
ters.
1t is believed the Commissioners will
release the report for publication as
soon as 1t is submitted to them.
The report deals with the investiga-
tion made by the two officials of charges
by the first Mcpherson grand Jury that
Inspector William S. Shelby and Lieut..
Edward j. Kelly were negligent in their
original inquiry into the death of Mrs.
Virginia Mcpherson.
Bride and Dawson have been ham,
pered in their investigation by the un-
willingness Of all but four of the grand
jury members to state their reasons for
charging that Shelby and Kelly mis-
handled the Mcpherson case.
Further difficulties were encountered
when Attorney General William D.
Mitchell refused them access to the
stenographic records of the Department
of Justice investigation of the case.
The two officials have been without
legal authority for funds to make a
thorough investigation of the founda-
ton for the charge, and this is believed
to be one of the reasons which would
make a public trial desirable.

CAPPER TO DISCUSS
TARIFF IN FORUM
Kansas Senator Will Also Give
Farm Relief Views in Radio
Talk.

Necessity for settlement of differences
between the East and West over both
tariff revision and farm relief legisla-
ton will be discussed by Senator Arthur
Capper of Kansas at 1890 o'clock to-
night in the National Radio Forum ar
ranged by The Star and sponsored by
the Columbia Broadcasting System. He
will speak through station WMAL.
Senator Capper, stanch Republi-
can, believes that the East should
awaken to the economic needs of the
West and should give that great section
of the country real consideration IN
legislation and administrative matters.
Senator Capper will discuss tariff re-
vision and farm legislation in broad
way, avoiding partisan political discus
sion. The Kansas Senator, though a
veteran member of the Senate, joined
the Republican young guard" in the
final weeks of the special session of
Congress.
The Eastern as well as the Western
members of this group believe that the
time has come for real cooperation be-
tween the two sections of the country
and that the time also has come for
the East to make some concessions to
the West.

M'MANUS Is FREED
BY ORDER OF COURT
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 5.-George
McNIanus, race track bookie, today was
acquitted of the murder year ago
November of his gambler associate,
Arnold Rothstein, at that time the over
lord of the Broadway chancetakers.
1t was directed verdict, not unex-
pected, as the State rested its case at
at the opening of today's session, the
thirteenth day of the trial.
Judge Charles c. Mott, jr., said that
he was sorry to see the case decided in
this way, but that he had no other
alternative under the law and the evi-
dence than to direct the jury to cast
a ballot of acquittal.
The State had had only circumstan-
tial evidence, the value of much of this
lessened by failure of witnesses to tes-
tify on the stand as they had before
the grand jury, and the judge held
that this was not sufficient to show
that McManus had committed the
crime.
The Rothstein case had been a lead
ing political issue in this city for over
a year and cost police commissioner
and many high ranking police officers
their jobs.
Although no official statement was
forthcoming from the district attor-
ney'S Office Immediately, it was believed
from previous statements made that
the case would be dropped.
Three other men are under indict-
ment for the murder-Hyman (Gillie)
Biller, pay-off man for McManus, and
John Doe and Richard Doe. None of
them are in custody however,

DETROIT, Mich, December S.
The storm king that annually

record covering 1929 on the Great
Lakes. More than 100 lives
we're lost and at least a dozen
ships destroyed or damaged.
The first tragedy of large pro-
portions during the season came
on the night of September 9
when the freighter Andaste was
sunk in a storm on Lake Michi-
gan off Grand Haven, carrying
down IS men.
A late October storm that
swept over the entire Lake re-
gion, however, accounted for the
larger part of the loss of life
and ships.
