naval 7 TREAT 7 7.
FACES DELAY

LONDON, April IA d.N.S0.-
Delegates to the naval confer
ence met in plenary session at
st. James Palace at noon and
were told by Prime Minister Ram
say Macdonald, chairman of the
conference, that it would be i'm
possible to have the draft com
pleted by Thursday.
The session lasted only 81 min
utes. Mr.. Macdonald. did not
bother to fead the texts of the
various reports, perfunctorlly re-
ferring to each by number.
Macdonald said the reports
adopted provide raw material for
drafting the treaty. The drafting
committee is working day and
night and it was hoped, he added,
that the document could be ready
for signing Thursday, but that it
was a physical impossibility.
Among the reports adopted
unanimously was the draft resolu-
ton humanizing submarine war
fare.
Secretary Stimson, today ac-
cepted the offer of the United
States lines to delay sailing of
the >Leviathan for one day in
order that the delegates may re-
turn home aboard it.
The Leviathan was to sail Tues
day, April %. Secretary Stimson
is hopeful a final plenary ses-
sion will be held that day.
enabling the delegation to leave
April %.
Should this be impossible, the
delegation probably will sail
aboard the United States liner
America on April IS.

FIGHT ON GUARD
GROWING

Growing opposition to the crea-
ton of q military force to halt
smuggling on the Canadian and
Mexican borders under the Coast
Guard today threatened the third
phase of the Wickersham Law
Enforcement Commissions pro-
gram to better prohibition en-
forcement.
The opposition, frankly recog.
nized by dry leaders anxious to
strengthen Pr esi d e n t Hoover'B
hand, is expected to be aired in
hearings soon to be held by the
House Interstate Commerce Com
mittee on the measure.
Dark Outlook
With the commission bill trans
fering prohibition enforcement
from the Treasury to the Justice
Department under fire in the
Senate and the "juryless trial"
court reform program apparently
buried in the House judiciary
Committee, the immediate legiS-
lative future of the reorganization
program appeared dark.
While the differences of various
departments over border jurisdic.
tion, which has prevented unifica-
tion of the border patrol for
years, have apparently been wiped
out by the insistence of President
Hoover for cooperation. other
questions have arisen.
Representative Hoch (R.) Of
Kansas, strong dry and chair
man of the House subcommittee
in charge of Coast Guard matters
and the border patrol bill, said
he would call a hearing soon on
the measure.
Primarily Life Saving
There are many members of
Congress. he said, who object to
converting the Coast Guard into
a prohibition enforcement agency
on land.
Because the Coast Guard has
primarily been a life.saying or.
ganizat1on, he said, there are
many who object to its officers
and men being turned from this
work to prohibition enforcement,
The new bill, it points out, en-
deavors to separate the Coast
Guards border activities by es.
tablishing the border patrol as, a
separate unit Of the guard.
1t provides, however, that off.
GERS trained in the Coast Guards
academy may be detailed to the
border work.
The Coast Guard, 1t is pointed,
out, is a military organization, /,
and automatically becomes part
Of the Navy in war time.
Thus border patrolmen would
not be merely civil service en-
ployes, as prohibition officers are
at present. but would be enlisted
men in a bransk of the national
defense. :

EXPERT. BUILDS BAKER MURDER
FROM ALL EVIDENCE At HAND

Here is the story of how Miss
Mary Baker was murdered, as re-
constructed for The Times by an
expert crimi11ologiSt from all the
evidence at hand.
: It is the story Of a man driven
to murderous frenzy by jealousy,
tale OF the pleading of woman
who saw sudden death at her
elbow, of the fatal ride under a
low swinging moon that ended
in blood and fury and tragedy
that has shocked the Capital.
Friday afternoon when Miss
Baker left the Navy Department
building in which she worked
on B Street Northwest, she was
accompanied by Miss Inez Eyre.
The man who killed her, the
man who loved her with jeal-
GUS love. followed her. The pres
ence of Miss Eyre prevented him
from accosting Miss Baker when
she emerged from her place of
work.
Waited At Church
Miss Baker and Miss Eyre went
to the Church of the Epiphany
on G Street. The admirer went
after them and waited outside.
After the service Miss Baker and
Miss Eyre left the church and
separated at the corner of Four
teenth and G Streets.
Then the man spoke to Miss
Baker and reproached her and
threatened to kill her because
she had other admirers, or SO he
believed He insisted that she
be true to him.
She reasoned with him, and.
alarmed at his threats, suggested
that they go to her car which
was parked near the. Ellipse
Once in the car he produced the
pistol, and it was here that she
gave the scream which was heard
by persons nearby,
Drove to Virginia
Panicky at her outcry he per.
mittted himself to be persuaded
to drive away from the spot. The
girl, terribly frightened, sug-
gested that they drive over to
Virginia probably with the idea
that once at her home the man
could be talked out of his rur-
pose. -
It was a beautiful night. A
great moon was then hanging in
the sky, the air was soft with the
promise of summer. AS the car
sped along she pleaded for her
life, but all the time his rage in
creased.
She finally Modified him. They
then drove through the country,
at one time nearing the girls
home, but he again letting jeal-
ously get the upper hand. re-
fused her request to go to the
house and talk things over.
Turning when they neared the
home he drove the car at a
reckless rate down Alexander
Avenue, a stones throw from 5hs
grim courthouse in Fort Myer
Heights.
Cursed Bitterly
Nearing the home of Mrs.
Bette L. Collins, he stopped the
car, cursing her bitterly and in
so loud a tone as to wake
dwellers Of the house from their
sleep.
She eluded him and dashed
for the sanctuary of huge tree
across the street. He threatened
her with a brutal beating. She
pleaded with him and finally On
his promise she again entered
the car for her last brief ride.
When hte car was near the
Penn Oil Company's yard on
GreenleSs Avenue in Rosslyn. He
shot her the first time. The
car speed on. Blood seeped into
the cloth of the seat she was IN.
Then he was desperate. He had
shot the girl he loved.
On sped the car. She lurched
AGAINST him: He shot her agai1.'

CURB SENTIMENT
 IMPROVES TODAY
Utilities Meet Best Demand Since Triple Holiday Closing

New York, Sept. 8 LP,-Sentiment improved on the curb today and prices pointed higher, although the advance was not particularly az gressive and was interrupted now and then by minor protit-taking. Sales volume increased.
 Utilities met the best demand since Labor Day. Much of the buying ap- peared to be in the nature of short covering for there were some wide gains in the less active shares, but slight improvement in inquiry from other sources was noted. Elec- tric Bond & Share, United Gas, American Superpower and United Light "A" were the favorites. ad- Yancing somewhat less than a point on the average. Consolidated Gas of Baltimore and Northern States Pow CT "A" rallied several points each.
 1ndustrials and specialties were moderately strong. Great Atlantic X Pacific scared more than a dozen points on a considerable turnover for that stock. Ford Motor of Canada was another bullish feature, while Todd Shipyard and Mead Johnson pushed higher. The strength of the latter was prompted by the declara- tion of 50 cent extra dividend double the amount of the last extra. Novadel Agene. which increased it's common rate and also declared an extra, gained point. A. o. Smith moved up several points.
 Announcement that Public Utility Holding Corp. planned to acquire United States & Overseas, an invest ment trust operating in the foreign field, found both stocks firm. United Founders, which is identified with the same group, improved in sym pathy.
 Interest was revived in the oils, which have been unusually sluggish. Standard of Indiana, Gulf, Cities Service, Vacuum and Humble were among the days leaders. Advances, however, were nominal. Derby Oil preferred rallied points on odd lot sales.
 Call money renewed on the curb at 5 per cent.

CAIRO TO GET BUST OF QUEEN

Egypt finally is to get the bust of Queen Nofrete-Ete, which she has been trying to recover from the New Museum, Berlin, Germany, for many years. It will be placed in the Cairo Museum. The figure is the most beautiful found at Tel-el- Amarna by the German expedition of 1912-13. Although there never has been any question of Germany's ownership the art lovers of Egypt have been urging it's return. When King Fuad visited Berlin last year he urged an exchange of pieces which would give his country the figure, The Cairo Museum has agreed 10 send to Berlin lifesize sta tues of Ranofer. of about $500 B.

The couple were captured on the road to Anful. and were held for s20,- 900 ransom each, but finally were released. Porteous wrote that for three days after their capture they had abuse heaped upon them. Their meek attitude semed to impress the brisands who gave Porteous an old damaged concertina to repair. He tied it with string, and squeezed" some music out of it. Later, he and Mrs. Porteous sang some sings in English for the captors. after which the hrigands became friendly, treat ed them with utmost consideration. and assured them their lives would be spared.

FIRM UNDERTONE
 ON BOND MARKET
Argentine Listings Again Heavy
 Because of Political Upset

New York. Sept. tP,-With the exception of the Argentine listings which were again heavy in sym pathy with the political upset in that country, the bond market dis played a strong undertone today. Domestic issues, including second grade listings. were very firm and buying orders generally found prices higher.
 The large group of Argentine bonds met comparatively light liqui- dation and losses were largely in the major fractions. Other Latin Amer jeans were steady, while leading European loans made small varia- tions from last weeks closing quota tions. Japan 5.s were active but made only nominal gains.
 Renewal of call money at 2la per cent passed without notice, for the market expects lower rates to prevail soon, particularly at the time of the treasury financing. Con- siderable comment was heard on the unfavorable terms at which the government is doing refunding. Listed liberties rallied, but inactiv- ity continued to mark the govern ment group.
 Convertible bonds turned upward with stocks, although trading in the share feature issue was quiet. International Telephone 412s rose about a point.
 Low priced rails exhibited further upward tendencies. St, Paul 5s of 1915 moved point higher on mod erately brisk accumulation. The Erie group was firm. Highest grade carriers held close to Satur- days final prices.
 Some of the speculative and semi speculative industrials. including Gould coupler 6s and Fisk Rubber Ss, ran somewhat ahead of better rated issues, but the tone of the group was firm. The favorite utili- ties showed considerable strength and there were fair gains in Con- soGdated Gas F. S, and Detroit 5s. Postal Telegraph 5s recovered part of their recent losses.
