Although he wears no flow

does he live in a cave, except

There may be some IS or To-

artist, on the new 1882 calendar,
"On Time" issued by the Pennsyl-

Chicago.
Not recognizing the landscape
covered with snow, he rang for the
porter and asked if the train was
late. "On Time, sir" the porter
replied.

He was to be grilled this
morning on circumstances at
tending the death of Mrs
Bertram, who was believed
struck by a speeding automo-
bile as she walked in an alley
late Tuesday afternoon near
21O1 North New sey
street.
Twenty hours later her body was
found in the thicket.
Lieutenant Owens said evidence
given police links Russell with the
crime.
Home Is Watched
eve can't tell definitely until we
talk to him, however. But I think
he il the man we want. We can
not make public the information, or
its source.
owens said two shifts of police
were planted" near Russell's home
for several hours before the cap
ture.
Mrs. Bertram, a widow, was en-
ployed by MIR. and Mrs. G. J. Smith,
managers OF the Alpha Sigma Alpha
sorority house. When she met her
death she was carrying several ties
belonging to her employers to a
cleaner at Nineteenth street and
Central avenue.
Another development in the in
vestigation today is the statement
of detectives that the car which
struck and fatally injured Mrs.
Bertrand is not the one from which
her body was tossed into the thicket.
Proved by Tire Prints
This was established after a COM
parison of tire imprints found at
the thicket with tires on the Model
T Ford coupe which police have
recovered.
Verifcaion of this theory was
seen by detectives in the statement
of Mrs. Minnie Mitchell, in the rear
of whose home the car was found,
that the car remained parked con-
stantly from a short time after the
tragedy until after the body was
found.
It was believed the killer used
a second stolen car to dispose OF
the body.
Check was to be made today Of
information provided by a woman
given Gift" by a nervous" mo-
torist near the thicket, shortly be-
fore the body was discovered. The
ory was advanced the killer may
have taken another passenger into
his car to cover his flight.
Clothing Not Washed
Police branded as ridiculous an
other theory that the slain wOman's
clothing was washed by the murder
err some time during the twenty
hours he carried the body before
tossing it from the car. 1t was
pointed out that splotches Of blood
were found in the dead woman's
coat and other clothing.
New evidence, character Of which
was kept secret, has been received
by Police Chief Mike MOrrissey, it
was learned. 1t was contained in
letter written by a woman whose
identity is unknown. Morrissey
said the letter was from a friend
of the dead woman, but declined to
reveal the nature of the evidence.
1t also was learned that the driver
of the death car may have returned
to the scene in the alley where
Mrs. Bertram was struck.

JONES LAW REPEAL

~ JHttCd Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Repeal
of the Jones five and ten" law will
be sought this season by Represent
alive Horr, (Rep), new member of
congress from Washington, home
of Senator Jones, Republican, titu-
lar author Of the law.
The Jones law, which permits a
maximum penalty of five years in
prison and $4,000 fine for prohibit
ton law violation, was character
lied by Horn today as IAN almost
sadistically conceived statute"
The punishments it prescribes, he
said. are more severe than those
for treason, arming vessels against
a friendly power, embezzling public
money, receiving stolen property,
perjury, counterfeiting foreign Sc
curities, passing bogus coins, mail
frauds, melting to mutiny, polygamy,
and in some states manslaughter."

Queen of Merchant Ships Is
Sponsored by Widow of
Theodore Roosevelt.

By United Press
CAMDEN, N, j., Dec. 5.-Captain
George Fried, hero of two famous
ocean rescues, took command Of his
new ship, the 32,000-ton United
States liner Manhattan, as it was
launched here today
AS the slim vessel slid down the
ways at the New York Shipbuilding
Company, the largest ship ever built
in an American shipyard, Fried
reached the peak of an adventurous
career of thirty years at sea. He has
worked up from an enlisted man in
the United States navy to one of the
choice commands in the American
merchant marine.
The great ship was sponsored by
Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, widow of
the former President and mother Of
Kermit Roosevelt, vice president of
the international Marine Company.
1t will got into trans-A Atlantic serv-
ice in the spring.
Fried came here from New York
Friday night to attend the launch
ing ceremonies. From now until the
time she is officially turned over to
re g4zitect States lines, he -sHilI keep
a weather eye on the vessel.
Third of Mammoth Ships
He has been acting as port cap
tain for the lines since his last
command, the America, was taken
out of service recently.
The Manhattan is the third
of four mammoth liners built in re-
cent years in American ship yards
to be launched.
Already the President Coolidge,
worlds greatest electric liner, has
begun its maiden voyage to the
Orient.
A sister ship to the President
Coolidge, the President Hoover, went
into service last summer, while the
Manhattan's twin, known temporar-
lily as No. 405, is scheduled for COM
pletion next July,
These four vessels represent an
unparalleled advance in size and
equipment for American-buil ships.
Electric Ship Throughout
The President Coolidge takes the
lead among the electric ships. She
is 654 feet long, 81 feet wide and
has a speed Of 81 knots per hour.
AS a vessel of $4,000 gross registered
tons, she is larger than any of the
early President" ships and much
faster.
With nine separate decks the
President Coolidge accommodates
l, 260 passengers and a crew of 300.
She cost 100000.
AS an achievement of new meth
DDS of design, engine room space on
the Manhattan has been reduced to
half that required five years ago.
Steam will be generated in three
large boilers carrying 400 pounds
pressure. A twin-screw triple series
turbine will be capable of propelling
the ship at 20 knots an hour. Four
electric generators are to supply
auxiliary power. Oil is to be used
as fuel
Safety Is Stressed
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1931-12-05
Safety Is Stressed

Extensive precautions have been
taken on the Manhattan to insure
the safety of the ship. Eleven
water-tight- bulkheads, the latest
steel matches and steel lifeboats
combine to make travel on the liner
as safe as possible.
Machines and other heavy masses
are not being grouped together on
the Manhattan as is the case in
ships of older design.
The length of the Manhattan,
vessel of 10000 tons, gross register,
is 705 feet and her width eighty
six feet. She is built to carry 1900
passengers.

AD MEN HEAR CONNOLLY
|. N. S. General Head
Says Ads Can Aid
Prosperity

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Nov. 9
GN.SO.-The advertising men of
the country through the instru-
mentality of the written word
can play an important role in re-
turning the nation to normal con-
ditions. Joseph v. Connolly, presi-
dent of the International News
Service and general manager Of
King Features and Allied Syndl'
Gates, declared in an address be-
fore the Advertising Club of New
Haven yesterday.
Mr.. Connolly was the guest OF
honor at luncheon given by the
club at the Hotel Garde and at
tended by 500 other guests, many
of them cele brities in the adver'
tising and journalistic worlds. His
speech was broadcast over the
Yankee network from WICC, the
key station. He said
by the instrumentality Of
the written word the advertiS-
ing men of the country can re-
turn this nation to normal con-
ditiOns. The men Of this craft
can more than any other agency
make hundreds of thousands
of Americans regain their self
respect and quit hiding in safe
deposits.
"The American dollar Is the
safest, most stable currency in
the world today. We have 3S
per cent Of all the gOld in the
world. But a great deal of that
gold is lying idle. The adver-
tiSing men of the country can
and will make Americans be-
lieve that it can be put to work
safely and prOfitably in this
country"
