HOT WORDS FLY
IN BRIDGE TILT

NEW YORK, Dec. II QN.sO
The Old World politeness which
has distinguished the Lenz-Cul-
bertson tourney to date went into
the discard today.
With three sessions of probable
20 completed, the game has set
tied down to something more
closely resembling the usual Sat
urday night foray at the Smiths
or Joneses with time out every
half hour or so for an argument
or post-mortem.
Last nights play saw Ely Cul-
bertson and his wife, Josephine,
who are attempting to show their

perior to the official method"
gain 260 points on Sidney Lenz
and Osward Jacoby. cutting the
latter's lead to. 1875 points.
Play was not completed until
1:25 a. M, due in part to delays
resulting from objections by Lenz
to Culbertson's slow bidding.
Lenz also accused the Culbert-
sons of swerving from the hard
and fast rules of their approach

but at last the suspense is
over now. People say we may
consider ourselves lucky-but-
well, you know I don't like to
say anything"
Get Verdict Late
Mrs. Powers uncovered her
head and looked at us. Her face
was pale and tear-Streaked, and
her hair was neatly tucked ur
under net. She asked:
Suspense? Would you say
the suspense was over if it was
your husband? If your husband
was to be hanged?"
Her voice trembled.
wouldn't you pray the Lord
you might go to heaven before
him?"
Gradually she became calm and
began to ask questions about the
last day of the trial.
She had not known of the YER
dict until some hours after her
husband had been convicted and
a neighbor had come into the
store to break the news to the
two drab, unhappy women sit
ting behind the shutters above
their little shop.
Detests Little Lies
She shook her head confusedly
over the husbands treachery.
The smaller lies in his testimony
seemed to strike her most.
"Why did he give his age as
80? He's As if he's a day."
She smiled a little tearfully
and protested in a faint voice
that she still loved him.
"YOu can't help loving your
husband, can yOu?"

"Verdict Just as Expected"
He Remarks; Cleans Up
Food, Even to Crumbs

CLARKSBURG, w. Va, Dec.
IL (I.N.S.).-The collar of
death is being measured today
for Harry Powers, make-be-
ieve lover, who courted and
murdered.
The matrimonial bureau pen
man has been judged guilty OF
the garrL ting of Mrs. Dorothy
Lemke, of Northboro, Mass, one
Of his dupes.
He will swing high from the
neck until he is as dead as the
five innocent victims of his lust
for murGer and greed for money.
He tossed them in d huddle
into a burial trench outside his
torture-chamber ga:age.
Not Much Chance
There will be few further legal
Rormalities before he begins his
march to the gallows.
Defense Counsel j. Ed Law
admitted today his motion for
appealing the conviction of
Powers has not much chance.
When his argument is heard
before Judge John C. Southern
next Saturday on setting aside
the verdict of mu: der in the first
degree, Law will ask for post
ponement of from so to 80 days
to present an appeal to the
circuit court of appeals.
The appeal for new trial will
be based on technical errors in
the conducting of the four-day
murder trial in Moore's Opera
HouGe. Law said.
Asks For A Shave
Powers resumed his normal
prison life in the county Jail as
If he had been away only on a
business trip. He said:
'The verdict was just as I
expected"
After the verdict, the mass
murderer went back to his cell
and asked for a shave.
"Slaughter-H House Harry" thinks
more of his appearance than he
does of his neck.
A fellow prisoner was assigned
to shave him. For now he is a
valuable customer for the hang
man and no chances can be
taken. Ia
The horror of his five crimes
the premeditated strangling of
Mrs. Lemke, Mrs. Asia Eicher, of
Park Ridge, ILL.,, and the latter's
three children-is shared even by
the IS Federal prisoners OH the
third-floor tier of the county Jail.
When Powers returned from his
trial, the other prisoners did not
even greet him.
However, Harry is sufficient
unto himself. After his shaving,
he asked Andy Moore, the turn
key:
when do We eat?"
They gave him the regular
prison fare of cabbage, potatoes,
and bread. He ate everything
down to the crumos. And this
mornings breakfast ditto.
And that is Harry Powers, the
bloody enigma.

Thirty-one taxicab drivers were
slated to appear in Police Court
today on charges of driving in a
restricted area following a police
drive made last night on Seventh
Street Northwest, between Penn.
sylvania and New York avenues.
Under terms of a regulation
recommended by Traffic Director
A. Van Duzer, taxicabs are
not permitted to cruise in this
area. The regulation became ef-
fective December 2.
Up until last night policemen
were assigned to warn drivers the
street was closed to them unless
they had a passenger or we're
answering a call to pick up a
fare.
The regulation is similar to
that prohibiting taxicabs on +

 HEADACHE?

So easy to get quick relief and pre- vent an attack in the future. Avoid brolnides and dope. They relieve quick ly but affect the heart and are very dangerous. They are depressing and only give temporary relief, the cause of the headache still remains within.
 The sane and harmless way. First correct the cause, sweeten the sour and acid stomach, relieve the intes- tines of the decayed and poisonous food matter, gently stimulate the liver, start the bile flowing and the bowels pass off the waste matter which causes your headache.
