NEW YORK; Two mysterious slayings and written threats to massacre fourteen more victims have terrorized the entire city and sent 1000 New York detectives dragnetting the city in the most extensive and frenzied man-hunt in years.
 All the searchers know of the killer is that he is well educated, a religious maniac who ilnagines him. self the executioner for an inter- national secret society and seeks his prey from among spooning couples who park their automobiles in lonely sections of Long Island.
 His first victim was Joseph Mo zynsky, College Point, L. |, grocer and father of six children, who was shot to death on a deserted road near Whitestone as he sat in his car talking to nineteen-year-old Catherine May, whom the public al- lege was his sweetheart.
 Miss Mays story Of the aston ishing murder was so fantastic that she was held in s50,000 bail as a material witness. However, when a few night later, Noel Sowley, a wealthy radio mechanic, was killed in identical circumstances near the State Insane Asylum in Creed moon, Police Commissioner Mul- rooney accepted both crimes as the work of the same brain-twisted fa- natic.
 With Sowley, when he was slain was Betty Ring, pretty l7-year-old daughter of a city policeman. Miss Rings tale of the crime and her description of the killer tallied with Miss Mays.
 As soon as he had time, the homi- cidal lunatic penned and mailed an almost incoherent letter written in code to the New York Evening Journal. This missive announced the second crime and promises a third killing in College Point at ten o'clock the following evening
 It added that a dozen more murders would follow unless some valuable documents were returned to the international secret society
 Miss Ring told the police that she and Cowley were in his auto mobile when shadowy form sidled out Of the darkness, and demanded SoWley's license. Before the radio mechanic could answer, the strang- CT drew gun and fired two bull lets into his head, killing him in stantly.
 Next, at the point of his stil smoking gun, he forced the terri fled girl to sign her name and ad dress and said he would kill her too, if she told the police anything about the shooting.
 Miss Ring, like Miss May, Wa then compelled to walk with tn slayer for almost mile, where h put her on bus. Just before leav ing her, the killer asked her t kiss him. Aside from that she sail she was not molested.
 Both girls furnished the polio with excellent descriptions of tn murderer.

former Senator Atlee Pomerene and
Owen j. Roberts were named as special
prosecutors under the authority granted
In the resolution.
The next two weeks saw the Senate

ment, with demands being made on all
sides for the resignation of all Govern

First Civil Action.
The first civil action taken by the
special oil counsel was q suit to annul
the Teapot Dome lease, entered March
Is, 1924, in the United States Court at
Cheyenne, Wyo.
Four days later q similar annulment
action was instituted in the Elk Hills
case ut Los Angeles, Calf.
The Senate committee continued its
attempts to unravel the mysteries Of
the lease negotiations, and the lid was
blown OF the Teapot toward the end
OF March when Sinclair f1atly refused
to answer further questions by the com.
mittee. The questions the oil man
baked on were:
1. The nature of q contract between
himself and q Mr.. BonfllS concerning
Teapot Dome. 2. The facts concerning

port also stated that 1.-The Navy should
secure containers for the storing Of
such fuel oil, as well as the oil itself,
the general suggestion being along the
line that the parties with whom such
exchange should be effected should con-
struct such storage tanks at points des-
ignated by the Navy ut q cost in oil to
be agreed upon by the naval ofncialS,
such tanks to be turned over full of
naval oil at such points for the use Of
the Navy"
Steps Traced by Report.
The report traced the steps taken in
negotiating a contract with Sinclair for
development of the Teapot Dome re.
serve and with the Doheny controlled
Pan American Oil Co. for the Elk Hills
reserves.
While Doheny already had been given
q contract for storage Of the Elk Hills
oil, it was not until December Of 1922
that he was given the lease ON the CAL
ifornia reserves.
AS result Of the preliminary inquiry
by the public lands committee, the Sen
ate January Is, 1928, formally ordered
q complete investigation OF the leases
to Sinclair and Doheny with special at
tention to all circumstances surround
ing the negotiations
The committee did not begin its In
quiry until the following october. There
was little fireworks at the outset, but
things began to sputter toward the turn
OF the year.
Then, on January "a, 1924, came the
big explosion.
1t was in the form OF frank adj
mission by Doheny that he had sent
Secretary Fall q 100000 loan" in q
little black satchel This admission
constituted q substitute for the story of
Fall that he had received 500, 900 from
Edward B. Mclean.
Exactly one week later the Senate
passed q resolution authorizing the APP
pointment Of special counsel to proceed
to annul the leases TO Doheny and Sin
clair and to take such criminal action
as the situation seemed to warrant.

attacks on private interests" were not
unusual. 1t IL doubtful that many OF
the Senator's colleagues, listening TO
the fateful address, Sensed the import
Of the charges he was making. Some OF
them, perhaps, may not have realized
that the Government possessed naval
oil reserves, and IL they did few could
have told where they were located and
how they were administered.
La Toilette pursued his Tight vigor-
ously, however, and on April 80, 1922,
1ve days after the Doheny contract was
signed, the Senate adopted the resolu-
ton Of inquiry by vote Of So to 0. The
public lands committee OF the Senate,
Of which Senator Sm0Ot was chairman,
was instructed TO make the investiga-
ton.
About q week later President Hard

this connection that the policy which
has been adopted by the Secretary Of
the Navy and the SECRETARY Of the In
terror in dealing with these matters was
submitted to me prior to adoption
thereof, and the policy decided upon
and the subsequent acts have at all

Government nolle pressed the bribery
charge to use him IS q witness in the
Fall-Sinelair conspiracy case. The
junior Doheny, incidentally, was shot to

year ago.
Fan and Doheny were tried separate

preme Court last October and he was

sentenced to spend year in jail and

in the appeal. This period viii expire
soon.
The Doheny bribery trial was the last
Of the criminal actions resulting from
the grand jury proceedings Of nearly
six years ago.
There have been several other legal
0ffshoots from the tangle Of court pro-
ceedings. Robert w. Stewart, chairman
of the board Of the Standard OH Co.
Of Indiana, was cited for contempt Of
the Senate in refusing to testify before
the Senate oil committee, but was ac-
quilted of the charge in court. He also
was indicted or 4 perjury charge, but
was acquitted on this count. also.
Two other civil actions are pending
with respect to the Teapot Dome and
Elk Hills cases. The Government has
brought suit against the Sinclair Crude
OIL Purchasing Co. for oil purchased
from the insolvent Mammoth OIL Co.
The Attorney General has sued the Pan
American Co. in an effort to nullify
three leases covering one-and-a-haif
sections in the Elk Hill reserves. Both
Of these suits are awaiting action In the
Federal courts.
When these two civil suits are con.
cluded and the appeal in the Fan hrib-
cry case Is completed. the ramiflcations
OF the oil cases will have run their

the first Of the criminal trials was
that of Fall and Doheny on the
charges Of conspiracy. It opened In the
District Supreme Court November AZ,
1925, and closed December 16, 1876,
with o decision vindicating the de-
PENDANTS. It was the shortest and the
least spectacular Of the oil trials.
The second trial was that OF Fall and
Sinclair on the Teapot Dome conspir-
acy charges. Its career was hectic from
the outset.
First of all Henry M. Blackmer, re-
garded by the Government as an i'm

trict Supreme Court and fined $50, 600.
Blackmer's appeal Is pending before the
District Court OF Appeals.
Just two weeks after the Fall-Sinclair
conspiracy trial started 1t came to an
abrupt halt when charges were made
that the jury was being Swallowed" by
agents of Sinclair. The grand jury made
an immediate investigation and indicted
Sinclair, william Mason Day, Sinclair
business associate; Sheldon Clark, an
other Sinclair offlcial; william j.
Burns detective agency head; w. Sher-
man Burns, his son and agency execu-
tive. and Charles l.. Vietsch, Burns
agency employee. All were charged
with contempt Of court by reason of the
jury-shadowing activities.
Clark and VietSch were freed Of the
charges In court, but Sinclair, Day and
Burns and his son were convicted In
the District Supreme Court. Sinclair
was sentenced to six months, Day to
four months, the elder Burns to Is

United States Supreme Court, and all
the sentences were affirmed, with the
exception Of that of William j. Burns,
whom the court held blame1ess.

The conspiracy trial Of Sinclair and

Several Months More of Dull
Business Declared Ahead
But Readjusment is Progressing, A. of L. Says, Show
ing How Present Conditions Block Workers Progress

Washington, d. c. (ILNS)-"As
we enter the last half of 1880 it is
clear that there are several months
of dull business ahead, although re-
adjustment has made progress" the
Monthly Survey of Business for July
of the American Federation of Labor
says.
Among influences making for re-
covery, the Survey lists the increase
in money invested for constructive
purposes. Railroad issues of stocks
and bonds for construction equip
ment, ETC., are 146 million dollars
more than last year increase of 80
per cent?, while public utilities have
increased their borrowing for con-
structive purposes by 495 million dol
lars (47 per cent increase), the Sur
vey points out.
Discussing the difference between
conditions year ago and today, the
Survey directs attention to the check
ing of the workers progress by pres
ent conditions. 1t says:
"A year ago, industry was at the
height of boom period. Today bust
ness is still about 10 per cent below
normal. For wage earners the
change since last year brings serious
setbacks. Through the spring of 1929
employment conditions on the whole
were good, it was far easier to find
work. Industries were making good
profits. The time was ripe for prog
ress toward better living standards
and new agreements brought wage
increases and shortened hours. To-
day unemployment is at a very high
level-more than twice as many are
out of work as year ago, according
to our figures for union members.
Many are on part time, some have
taken wage cuts. Living standards
are lower. Industrial profits are
small, and funds for wage increases
are not being created. Workers
progress is temporarily checked.
While workers incomes are small
er, cost of living has changed only
slightly. The decline in prices has
thus far been almost entirely in
wholesale lines-the prices manufac-
turers receive for their goods. Thus
it has injured manufacturers without
beneftting workers.
Employers also find themselves in
difficult circumstances. Last year,
orders for goods and services were
coming in as fast as they could be
filled; mills, railroads, industries were
