Pet Bird Makes Escape and Screeches Its
 SalutatiOns

Helen and Edna came in for free publicity over large territory haN- ing one section of Stanley street be- tween Park and Whiting streets ss it's central point today, and at last reports were still the recipients of some generous but unsought broad casting.
 Who Helen and Edna are has not been stated. Their names first came to the attention of residents when they were screeched from the tree tops long before daylight.
 Edna. Yoo hoo Hello. Helen. where're you going?" was the start ling question which aroused the sleepy east enders. Several persons arose believing it would be neces- sary to take desperate steps to-
 ward preserving the peace and solitude of the early dawn.
 Hello" greeted John street man as he stared unbelievingly into the branches of an apple tree. "Yoo, Hoo" was the before breakfast greeting to a Stanley street business man as a bunch of green and red feathers alghted on top of an cleo tric pole.
 "Gr-a-awk." was the sarcastic sal utaton from a Pleasant street maple tree to gang of men appearing at the employment office of the Vulcan Iron Works couple of hours later.
 But q more pleasant Cracker, come Polly. cracker, Hello Helen. cracker. Edna. Polly wants crack er," was the conversation which en- tertained group of school children at noon.
 In the meantime a Pleasant street business man is attempting, with lit- tie success, to entice a fugitive par rot back to it's home, while sub rosa mumblings of parrot pot pie threaten the face of the bird if it continues tonight, to use the neigh borhood for a jungle.

 Sentiment

Washington, Sept. 29 (P) - The Methodist Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals noted today in it's weekly clipsheet that the Illinois conference of the Meth odist Episcopal church has formal ly decided to urge all prohibitionists to participate in the Illinois refer endum on prohibition"
 "Vote, of course!" Was the head ing.
 "It is an absurd referendum" !" the editorial said. When the votes are in, no one will know just exact ly what they mean.
 Ut is an unfair referendum, as all such referendum are, for it does not 20 to the root of the matter ana many drys will pass it by in con- tempt
 Ut gives an advantage to the cor ruptionist, the gunman, the gang ster, the beer runner, because he will vote more than once to legalize his trade.
 Nevertheless, the wet and dry question is, in certain way, before the voters of Illinois. The more drys who participate, the better. We say this despite the possible illegality of the referendum. It is of an indef- mite character. It is certain that the votes will be counted to the advan- tage of the men whose activities made Cicero famous"

 Sergeant Feeney was detailed to make an investigation and after having made a survey of the prem ises voiced the theory that the theft
  was an inside" job. He reported that he had found an axe head and a table knife on the office floor but could find no marks or any indica- ton that the safe had been opened by force.
 It is his belief that entrance to the office was made by use of a key in the front door. His report stated that the rear door was found un- locked but entrance through this way was cut off by a garage at tached to the premises which was securely locked
 MT. Weinstock reported that he closed the place about 10 o'clock Saturday night and did not enter it again until $50 o'clock this morn ing.

 Marines Death
WIFE BATTLES TO LIVE,
 TERRIBLY MUTILATED
Second in Command of Haiti Con- stabulary Had Income of About S2O,O0O Per Year and Mate Was Also Wealthy-DOOr Iatched From Inside, Window Undisturbed,
 Officials Say.

Washington, Sept. 29 R-A Col. Richard B. Creecy dead and his wife horribly wounded in their hotel suite yesterday.
 Police at first constructed an "at- tempted murder suicide" theory, the marine officer being found on the floor with bullet through his heart and Mrs. Creecy nearby with her head gashed Today she lay in emer- gency hospital, fear for her life be- ing felt.
 Police waited in hope that she would regain consciousness and aid them to learn what happened. They had become dissatisfied with the first theory overnight. Detective Edward J. Kelly, on request of the wealthy Creecy family, started tracing the implements of death-both of which were new.
 Special Inquiry Ordered
 Marine corps headquarters order ed a special board of inquest to in- vestigate. The dead officer, aged 49,

 The father, Col. E. c. Creecy, aged S4, said his son had an income of approximately $20,000 a year and that Mrs Creecy was well-to-do. /
 Inspector William s. Shelby, chief of detectives, advanced the possibil- ity that the marine had assaulted his wife and killed himself in tenn porary fit of insanity. He discounted a suggestion by the fathe$ that the officer had been murdered.
 When the couple was found, after the officer had been dead approxi- mately 12 hours, Shelby said, the door of the hotel suite was latched from the inside. There was no evil dence, he added, that anyone had entered the window.
 Money Not Disturbed
 A considerable sum of money and some railroad reservations to New York had not been disturbed. Occu- pants of nearby rooms were said not to have heard any disturbance.
 Shelby said when he entered the room the lOll-SeiNiGe ie'oA'el 'oS near Colonel Creecy's hand, and there were powder burns on his chest There were also blood splotches on his right hand and sim liar stains on the hammer of the revolver.
 Further. Shelby, added, the hatch ct bore a label indicating it had been bought in a small town some dis tance from Washington, through which Colonel Creecy and his wife had passed.
 The couple visited Lieut.. Col. Creecy's parents Saturday night. The father said both were then in good

CARDINALS HEAD EAST FOR SERIES
St. Louis Team Due in Philadel-
 phia by Evening
LAY LUCK TO WISHBONE
Doc" Weayer's Talisman Believed to Have Brought Good Fortune to Team-Moriarty ard Geisel Nam cd American League Umpires.

St. Louis. Sept. 29 P1Gabby Street and his Cardinals sped east ward today to do battle with Con- nie Mack's Athletics in baseball's greatest classic, the world series.
 The Cardinals are due to reach Philadelphia tonight. Tomorrow they will work out on the Athletics field and Wednesday unless all signs fail, the old spit-baller. Burleigh Grimes win find out just how good the Mack hitteH really are.
 Wishbone Real Reason
 It was a wishbone of a chicken that brought the 1880 National League pennant to St. Louis.
 Some followers of the old national pastime probably had thought it vas Gabby Streets master-minding or the excellence of the pitching staff or the high explosives con- tained in Cardinal bats that put the St. Louis entry ''in," but such req soning was a mistake.
 The story of why and how the Cardinals won the pennant is this:
 Before the team started it's last eastern trip which boosted it from fourth place to first place. Ray Blades, coach and utility outfielder invited a number of players to 8 chicken dinner at ethe home of 8 farmer friend in Illinois
 No |. so ,oDpa,od tJot nDor' Weaver, club trainer, was given 2 generous helping Of chicken breas in which was embedded a wish bone. After eating the meal ht made a statement.
 Boys" he said. "I have the wish. bone of a chicken which. accord ing to tradition, brings good luck Something tells me that it is going to be our lucky piece on our east ern trip. Something tells me it is going to bring us a pennant."
 Players Listen Gravely
 No doubt he thought his remarks would be received with jest because at the time-about September T. the Cards had fight on their hands to stay in the first division. But the players listened to him gravely They instructed Weaver to take the wishbone on the trip and see what wonders it would perform.
 The records show that from that date the Cardinals made one of the most sensational comebacks in base. ball history. Weaver keeps the wishbone in a velvet-lined box un. der lock and key.
