CLARKSBURG, w. Va, Sept. 9
UN.SO In the hope IF piercing
the enigma of Harry Powers,
west Virginia bluebeard, the man
with an alias for every murder
committed, authorities today took
legal steps to obtain the contents
Of the safety deposit box in a To-
cal bank belonging to the mail
order Romeo.
True Identity Sought
Said City Detective Carl South
ern, in charge of the investiga-
ton:
''The key to this case de-
pends on finding the true iden-
tity Of the prisoner"
Frustrated by the dogged ST.
lence of Powers as to what his
real name and birthplace might
be, authorities hope to OPEL new
trails by examining the contents
of his safety deposit box.
Chief of Police Duckworth said
today he believed that no more
bodies would be found in the
vicinity of Clarksburg and that
II additional victims to the five
already known were to be un-
covered in other places the real
identity of the confessed MUIR
derer must be secured.

The legal steps for the securing
the safety deposit box will be un-
dertaken by counsel for the heirs

victim of the killer.
j. Ed Law, f"1se counsel
for Powers, was supposed to
have opened the box the day
after Powers was arrested. At
tachment pa1srs served q the
bank today disclosed that Law
had left a receipt showing what
he had withdrawn from the con-
tents of the box. The lawyer
obtained power of attorney
from Powers for this move.
Meanwhile, an extended civil
court battle was predicted in
connection with the suit to re-
cover property alleged to have
been appropriated from Mrs.
Lemke by Powers through delib-

He BOLT?
BORAH QUERY
Up AGAIN
Well, He Never Has, G. 0. P.
Gladly Reflects, Despite
His Challenges to Hoover
BY WILLIAM C. MURPHY, Jr.

BY WILLIAM C. MURPHY, Jr.
Senator William E. Borah CRJ
of Idaho, has become a gigantic
question mark in the calculations
of political leaders preparing for
next years Presidential campaign.
Succinctly stated. the question
is, will Borah Bolt?"
Discussion of this question has
been stimulated by Mr.. Borah's
ultlmatum in recent Idaho
speech to the effect that the rich
Of the country must feed the ur1-
employed this winter and III
they do not do it voluntarily,
they will nevertheless do it."
Challenge to Hoover
AS interpreted in political cir
cles here, that declaration has
the ring of challenge to Pres1.
dent Hoover's position against di.

ployed.
This is only another of the
long list of issues upon which
BOrah has opposed the man he
did SO much to elect in 1928.
With the sole exception of the
Kellogg peace pact, MI. Borah
has opposed every important pol
icy advocated by Mr.. Hoover since
the latter entered the White
House.
Farm relief, the ta11ff, the
World" Court, drought relief,
and unemployment legislation are
only a few that might be cata.
logued.
A Perennial Report
Ever since Mr.. Borah came
into the Senate in 1907 there
have been reports that he would
bolt the Republican party but so
far he has never done so in &
national election. Between elec.
tionS he has been off the party
reservation almost constantly.
In 1912 when the late TheO-
dOre Roosevelt headed the Bull
Moose ticket, Senator Borah, q
candidate for reelection, com.
promised between his party
loyalty and his personal prefer.
ences by "gOing fishing" as he
has expressed it.
He supported neither Taft nor
Roosevelt; that was the nearest
he ever came to a bolt.
In 1912, however, Borah was q
young man with brilliant
political prospect to be protected.
Entrenched In Idaho
Now he is 66 years old and so
firmly entrenched in Idaho that
some of his friends say face.
tiously he could be reelected on
platform advocating repeal Of
the Ten Commandments.
Moreover, he was just reelected
in 1880 and has nearly six years
Of his present term to serve.
The insignificant electoral vote
Of Idaho has always been con-
sidered an effective bar to any
presidential aspirations the Sena.
tor might have.
Political parties like presiden-
tial candidates from populous
States with large nest eggs Of
votes in the electoral college.
A National Figure
In recent years, however, Mr..
Borah has become a national
figure. When he speaks he COM
mands an audience as large as

The Italtan-Ameftcan international series, staged at Madison Square Garden last night, brought Italy's first team competition defeat in more than three years-the Americans winning by margin of five matches to twO-but was marfed by pro- longed and astounding display of bad friendly relations between the com peting nations.
 How It Started
 The demonstration followed a de- cisi0n giving Louis Salica of New York q victory over Edelweis Rodri- guez, 112-pOund champion of Italy, in the opening bout. Salica had a decided edge in the first two rounds of the bout and in the opinion of ring side boxing experts was en- titled to the decision despite Rodri- guez's strong rally in the final round.
 When the verdict was announced Rodriguez dropped to the canvas, kicked his feet in the air, bit at his glove and shouted in protest. His seconds joined in the protest and 1t took the combined efforts of three men to drag Rodriguez from the ring and to his dressing room.
 Then Came the storm
 Gallery spectators, overwhelming ly Italian in sentiment, joined in the uproar, booing the officials and showering the ring with coins. paper. cigar stubs, lemons and other debris. Spectators who believed the decision justified attempted to cheer down the dissenters and the uproar con tinued for more than half an hour,
 Meanwhile the Italian coach had ordered his men from the arena and declared he would not allow his team to continue unless the decision was reversed. After a long conference with A. A, U. officials the fighting was resumed. apparently with the agreement that Italy would be given the decision in the next bout.
 Diplomacy?
 At any rate, Flavio Debonis of Boston was robbed of a we'll earned decision over Vincio Dallorto. Italian 11S pounder. Debonis outboxed the Italian by wide margin and was en- titled to the decision but the off, cials. apparently intent on pacifying the Italian rooters, gave the verdict to Dallorto.
 Debonis took the decision in sportsmanlike manner and made no protest. contenting himself with the "PPaouoS VI tHc opectatOrS WnO leIt no doubt as to whom they thought entitled to the bout. In contrast O the demonstration when the verdict went against the Italians there was no booing and the competition con- tinued without an uproar.
 Five To Two
 The gift decision was one of the two won by the Italians, Luigi Ro- vati defeating Michael Vetrano of New York in the heavyweight con test. the final bout on the program, for Italy's only earned decision.
 In the other bouts: Tony Scarpati of New York. national 126-pounds champion. earned a close decision over Argento Portaleone of Italy: Steve Salek of Boston, New Eng land 136-pound champion, outclassed Mario Bianchini. champion of Eu- rope; Eddie Flynn of New Orleans, national 147-pound champion, scored decisive victory over Cesare Desio. champion of Italy; and Frank Full lam of New York, national 160- pound champion, outboxed Aldo Longinotti. Italian provincial title holder.

prohibition meetings.
This interest as estimated it grows out
of an increasing revolt against the growth
of the liquor traffic and the ravages con-
sequent upon it. At a hotel in one Of the
cities I went into the dining-room, was

we would call saloons on their own SCreeC
and the marked increase of drinking to
the. great increase Of poverty, especially
among the poorer classes.
The liquor traffic is the same disastrous
force in human society wherever it is
found. There is an inherent revolt Of men
against its baleful influences. The problem
and question of the world is how to
handle it. II my judgment it can never be
regulated. My observations Of government
control, so-called, in Canada, in Japan,

law is fairly we'll observed. Little is, there
fore, said regarding the observance of the
law The publicity made in the papers of
the city give the impression that the law
Is nowhere Of avail Hence arises the
urgency Of the appeal and Of the ap-
parent logic of the argument for the
abolition Of both law and constitutional
amendment.
Today the reports of the breaking of
the federal statute come from the cities.
The statute is broken in the cities. The
cities are vocal In the country districts
the law is observed, and these districts are
silent
It is also to be affirmed that if the
amendment we're removed, and if the law
under the amendment were abolished, diff
ficulties would not be removed. For Ii
cense system for the sale Of liquor would
be introduced a license system either
state or municipal would rot prevent I'M
licensed dealers from plying their traffic.
Even liquor dealers are not willing to pay
a high license fee for permission to sell.
It would be IS difficult to enforce & license
system against speakessies IS It IS now to
enforce q prohibition law agaisnt speak
easies of the present time. Bootlegging
would continue just as fagrantly under
the license system as it now goes on under
q prohibition system.
Tt should be granted that the breaking
of one law promotes disresDect for all
laws. It does not, however, follow neces-
sarily that q law which is broken should
be changed It does follow that the law as
a law should be obeyed Logically, obedi-
enCe to che law increases respect for all
