that Senator Reed (R) of Penn
sylvania would not return TO
Washington with the delegation,
and would be absent for the dura-
ton of this session.
Reeds reported decision to
travel on the Continent for q
while is ascribed to his desire
to remain away until after the
Pennsylvania primary on May 20.
The Republican factions in Penn
sylvania are getting ready for a
veritable Donnybrook Fair. and
Reed, who comes UP for re-elec-
ton four years hence. is said to
be DESTROYS of keeping his skirts

In relying upon Democratic
leadership in the treaty fight,
President Hoover is following in
the footsteps Of President Hard
ing at the time of the Washing
ton Conference. Harding ap-
pointed the late Senator Oscar
Underwood, who also was the
Democratic leader, as a member
of the delegation, and it was
Underwood as much as anyone
else who smoothed the way to

IN CHICAGO
Killer Let Into Saloon After
Closing Hours; Witness
Sees Gangster Make Escape

CHICAGO, April 81. Q.NSo.-
The science of baIlistics was set
to work today in an attempt 70
trace the identity Of the lone
executioner who yesterday en-
tered the notorious Blue Hour
saloon here and put three gang
sters on the spot"
Police theories as to the motive
for the Easter morning massacre
ranged from q liquor gang feud
to hostilities fomented in the
first ward last primary day.
Another clew was seen In the
fact that Joseph Special, one
of the victims, was a worker for
tScarface" Al Capone, generals
sino of Chicago's mayor gangs.
Shot Proprietor
The killer, obviously known to
Walter Wakefield, one of the
proprietorS Of the saloon, was
admitted after the closing hour.
AS wakefield turned to count the
nights receipts the customer
drew a revolver and shot Wake
field through the back Of the
head.
Special ran in from a rear
room, picked a small plaster
st tue for q weapon but was
felled by a bullet. Frank Delray.
a partner of Wakefield, leaped
over cigar case to escape, but
a bullet in the back Of the head
stopped his flight and he toppled
over dead.
Saw Killer Flee
The gunman then wheeled and
fired three bullets into the pro-
strate Special, killing him. One
witness saw the killer flee from
the building, leap into an auto
mobile and escape. The con-
tents Of the cash register were
untouched.
A search for bullets revealed
two pellets which police sub
mitted to Lieut.. Col Calvin God

Hoover Surprised
Word of the committees action
was Immediately flashed to the
White House, where it was re-
ceived with surprise.
It was Immediately stated, on
behalf Of the President, that he
had no intention Of withdrawing
the nomination, and that so Ear
as the White House is concerned
Judge Parker is its candidate and
the responsibility for his rejection
will fest on the Senate.
Judge Parker, it was suggested,
may himself initiate action to
prevent rejection by voluntarily
withdrawing his name from con-
sideration. his would relieve the
White House Of any embarraSs-
ment and pave the way for Presi.

name.
It is understood that friends Of

One man and one man alone
killed Mary Baker and threw her

ion Of Commonwealth Attorney
william C. Cloth, who yesterday
gave his version Of incidents lead
ing up to the brutal attack and
murder Of the Navy Department
file clerk.

Cloth in reconstructing the crime
said:
IAN the men seen talking
with Miss Baker in the last
several years are under sus.
piciOn Of numbering her. We
do not eliminate any Of them.
That Is the job we have in
hand nOw-tO eliminate i'm
probable people and try to
focus suspicion on one par.

One-Man Job
81 am stiII Of the opinion
that this was q one-man job.
BY that mean the man who
was seen beating her In the
parked car at Seventeenth
and B SITS. N. w. He was the
man who killed her.
Theories have been advanced
that some other man or wO-
man surprised Miss Baker and
her companion while they were
on the Arlington Experimental
Farm, but these are theories
to which we attach no impor-
lance. Ii was . One-man job
all the way through. If the
man had prOvOcatiOn enough
to numerically beat her in
the parked car he followed
through with his rage and
killed her"
Sex Crime Motive
Another of the investigators
said last night:
eve know that sex passion
formed the basis Of this MUIR
der. The reports Of the doc
tors who performed the su-
topsy on the body reveal that
the man who attacked Miss
Baker did mot cOnsummate, his

Resented Suggestion
"She may not only have re-
scented the mans suggestion
perhaps for q dinner at q road
house and q petting party af-
terward-but probably threat
ened to expose him to his en-
ployer.
"This could have provoked
the fight in the car which was
seen by three witnesses. Hav-
ing beaten the girl and got
himself into trouble and fearing
exposure, the man may have
driven to the lonely road near
Arlington Cemetery, and there,
under cover Of darkness, made
. more determined attack on
her, with Miss Baker making
such resistance or attempts to
scream and attract help, that
the man shot her.

flown, the average speed and the
altitude attained will not be Off
cially known until a check is
made and the Paragraph ex-
amined.
While aviation experts today
said the flight was remarkable
and praised the colonel highly,
Lindbergh stressed its importance
rather from the scientific side.
Mrs. Lindbergh shared the hon
orS with her husband for she not
only acted as co-pilot, but guided
her husband in the trackleSs lane
with an aviation sextant. Both
wore electrically-heated aviation
garments and arrived at RooSe-
welt Field smiling and in good
spirits. Neither appeared to show
any i'll effects or even fatigue.
Experiment q Success
The only time the plane was
noted. in its rocket-like dash was
shortly before IL o'clock last night
when the roar of its motor was
heard over Allentown, Pa. "Lindy"
was flying low at that time, as he
had already achieved his purpose
in testing altitude flying and his
goal was in sight. At the field
here he said:
"The flight was purely ex-
perimental. Flight testing the
theory that greater speed and
efficiency may be obtained by
taking advantage Of better

Despite the latenesS OF the
hour a crowd Of about 5000 wei
