 The street on which LorenZ re- sides is only a few minutes run by automoble from the corner of Rowe avenue and Park street where he was to meet Anderson. Presumably Lorenz came in his automobile, picked up Anderson and then drove to Wethersfield. Police believe the crime occurred within half an hour and that Anderson put up terrific fight even after he was shot in tho head.
 Late For Work
 Lorenz was an hour late for work next day. Soon after he arrived Mr. and Mrs. Benson came and asked him if he had seen Anderson. They were worried over his failure to keep his appointment with them and deliver the money to prevent the foreclosure on their home. Lorenz told them he had not seen his friend and the Bensons then went to police headquarters and re- ported Anderson missing.
 After their departure Lorcnz left the store where he was employed and went home for two or three hours He came back and remained until late in the evening. While he was home he borrowed a hose from Ia neighbor and cleaned his auto mobile. At o'clock that night, Charles $. Cobb, his employer, saw him putting a new pane of glass in tho rear window of his machine. Police believed Anderson broke the window in his death struggle for pieces of glass were found at the spot where the shooting occurred, almost in the very shadow of the Wethersf1eld state prison.
 According to authorities Lorcnz had his overcoat and suit cleaned and tried to dispose of other cloth ing he wore Monday night. Every thing pointed to Lorenz and it was only by a few hours that he escaped arrest. He had spent most Of Tues day night at the Benson home where he played the role Of 8 consoing friend, Wednesday morning he re- turned and promised the Bensona he would be back for dinner. Instead

 Under persistent inquiry by Walsh | MT. Raskob said he had never been interested in the manufacture of li- quor, and so far as he knew, none of those connected with the associa- tion, were interested, now or in the past, in the manufacture of liquor. Replying again to Walsh, the wit ness said that the interest of the as- sociation was in the election of vets | to congress, "rather than the per- suasion of those in congress-" Raskob identified w. W. Alter bury, republican national committed W. Sabin, the husband of the former republican national committee wom- an from New York, as directors of the association against prohibition. Did Not Mix Beliefs Raskob said he was careful not 10 mix his personal beliefs on prohibit ton in the affairs of the democratic national committee.
 q have no right to commit the | democratic party on either side of the prohibition question" he assert 1 cd, adding:
 My opinion is that no one can | commit the democratic party on this question except the national conven- | tion. I shall not try to influence any | democratic member on this ques- tion.'
 I Senator Robinson, republican, h. diana, then took up the questioning. When was the association organ | ized?"

 You were contributor; why don't you know?" | well, I dont'
 Favors Repeal
 Do you favor repeal or modified tion of prohibition ?"
 T do, or at least modification" The Indiana senator then clashed with Raskob over the location of the headauarters of the association. Raskob insisted the main offices were in New York and Robinson contended that literature of the as- sociation named Washington as headquarters.
 The subject was dropped after Raskob said he met as director with other directors of the associa- ton In New York.
 Chairman Caraway and Senate; Robinson engaged in brief tilt aft CT Robinson questioned Raskob about a recent statement attributed to Senator Harrison, that Raskob was no longer an officer of the E. l. DuPont De Nemours & Company.
 Rasiob explained he was a vice president of the company, but said the position was largely honorary.
 Asked for its Relation
 Caraway asked Robinson wha Senator Harrison's statement had tu do with the inquiry.
 Ut will have a great deal to do with it," Robinson retorted.
 Then we'll get Harrison before

 Senator King, democrat, Utah, who
 is in Europe.
 By throwing the publicity spot | light upon picture of Raskob giv-
 ing money with one hand to the
 wet organization and with the other to the democratic party. the repup- | licans were hopeful of alienatiny
 dry democrats and of intensifying the demand of some irreconciliabls
 drys in the south that Rasbo!i
 withdraw from the party chairman 1 ship.
 With Raskob's appearance, the committee veered off into a new di- rection. It embarked upon an in- vestigation of the legislative activi- ties of all organizations sponsoring and opposing the prohibition laws. Representative Tinkham, republi- can, Massachusetts, is expected 10 be the next witness, appearing to request that the committee delve into the activities of the board of Temperance, Prohibition and Pub lie Morals of the Methodist Episco- pal church, and the Federal Coun- cil of Churches of Christ in America.

LOS ANGELES, April Awhile
Rogers HornSby hopes to be back
on the diamond after few days
rest, there is a possibility that the
Chicago Cubs second baseman
might not be In. the lineup when
the National League champions
open the season.
An examination of Hornsby's
right heel from which a growth
was removed last winter, caused
a physician to order the Rajah to
stay off the foot for a while.
Both Manager Joe Mccarthy and
the physician were optimistic be-
lieving a rest will take care of the
renewed trouble, but it was adj
mitted that another operation may
be necessary. In that event
Hornsby might be laid up a month
or so, it was said.

"a Rounds
on ArnOry
Fight Card
Tracy Cox Works Hard to
AVenge Loss to
Mike O'DoWd.

Thirty-four rounds Of boxing have
been arranged for Tuesday night at
the Armory. The complete fight
card for the Legion show reveals
number of hard-hitting pueS,
noted for their kayo talents, lined
up for action. The program fol-
lows:
Ten Rounds-Tracy Cox, Indianapolis,
VS.. Midget Mike O'Dowd, Columbus, o.;
featherweight.
Eight Rounds-CharIey Baxter, Column
bus, o., VS.. Rip Wilson, Jacksonville;
lightweights.
Six ROunds-Winard Chappen, Indian
apolis, VS.. Paul Sharp, Louisville; light
heavyweights.
Six Rounds-Otto AttersOn, Terre Haute,
VS.. Harry Kriendler, Cincinnati; light
weights.
Four Rounds-Roy Woods, Indianapolis,
VS.. Jackie COogan, Indianapolis; bantam
weights.
Thirty-three fights in all parts of
the country against the leading pugs
in the featherweight division with
but three losses, is the remarkable
mark set for the last two years by
Midget Mike O'Dowd. Mike lost
decision to Earl MAESTRO in Chicago,
Andy Martin in Pittsburgh and
Freddie Miller in Cincinnati, all
three scraps being ten-round trays
with the edge very narrow in favor
of the Midget's opponents.
Tracy Cox is working like beaver
at his training, determined to even
the count with ODowd, and his fol-
lowers assert he is so per cent better
than when he lost to the Midget
last fall in Columbus.
