PAL OF WALKER
FACES BIC FINE
Heavy Penalty Sought for
Graft Probe EVader.

By United Press
NEW YORK, Dec. 18.-Samuel
Seabury, city graft investigator,
continuing his serial story of for
tunes derived from tin boxes sea-
faring gentlemen, bridegrooms" and
"betS on the horses that some one
else picked and financed" hopes
today to learn what Russell T.
Sherwood had in his safety deposit
box.
The box is the one Sherwood
shared with Mayor James j. Walker,
according to bank records.
Seabury prepared to ask Justice
Ernest E. L. Hammer to find Sher-
wood guilty of contempt and to fine
him up to 100000.
Sherwood has been missing ever
since early summer. He was found
in Mexico City, but disappeared
again at San Antonio. He was
served by publication and his prop
erty in several counties, said to to-
tai $4,000, has been attached pend
ing disposal of the contempt charge.
To bear out his charge that vir-
tually every department of the city
government contains officeholderS
who can not reasonably account for
the size of their bank deposits, Sea-
bury called officials from three
separate departments Thursday.
Their explanations constituted three
new chapters in his continued story.

THEY TELL Me

fore today in discussion at the state
house, because of his demand that
he be given automobile license plate
No. 10.
Why Elder should receive such
recognition-for a low plate is
equivalent to recognition of either
political or official position-was the
question most asked and the answer
was: We'll, he demanded it and
why should we Squabble? If a toy
will keep the baby quiet, why, just
give him the bauble.'
=
Elected state and county officials,
including the judiciary, who well
might feel that they should have
been accorded the low number,
openly resented the manner in
which Elder had thrust himself in
to the picture.
And the bounce-back on McNutt
came with the spread of the report
that Elder was soliciting financial
support for the McNutt campaign.
The law school dean denied
knowledge of any such financial
move, but the report is given gen.
eral credence.
Because of the disfavor in which
Elder is held, the comment of one
observer was given a rising vote
of thanks when he said:
THE only way to win a race is
to eliminate the drag and in this
case it means cutting of Elder"

LEGS DIAMOND DIES
BY GANG BULLETS

cago, Cleveland, New York and Buff
falo. Tough, hoarSe voices asked
the inevitable question:
WAS Legs Diamond bumped?"
Gangland had tried three times
before to erase him. Early in his
career, when he was bodyguard of
Little Augie" Orgen, he received
two of the flood of bullets that re-
moved Orgen. Next came the at
tempted assassination in the New
York hotel room, and then last
spring gangsterS emptied two shot
guns into him at CatSkill road
house.
Patrick Delehanty, owner of a
small cobbler shop adjoining the
rooming house where Diamond was
slain, said he was awakened by
three revolver reports between 4
and a. m.
Delehanty told the United Press
he hurried to the street after hear
ing the reports and saw a man,
about five feet seven inches tall,
clad in dark clothes, run down the
street, leap into an automobile, the
motor of which was running, and
speed away.
Mrs. Laura Wood, proprietor of
the rooming house, also was awak-
ened by shots.
II saw several men rush down the
stairs, apparently from the room
where Diamond was staying" she
told police. 81 heard the motor of
an automobile start outside"

STATE SUMS UP IN
RENO DEATH TRIAL
Dentists Murder Case Is
Nearing Jury; Defense
Story RiddIed.

By United Press
RENO, New, Dec. 18.-Tragedy of
the Reno divorce colony, played
against background of night clubs
and cocktail parties, was told to-
day as the state summed up its case
against DR.. Carl Andre, dentist, on
trial charged with the murder of
Martha Hutchinson, 20.
Divorces, drawing cowboys, and
collegiate youths in corduroy trou-
sers provided the cast.
The state seeks the death penalty,
charging DR.. Andre hurled the girl
from his speeding automobile. DR..
Andre contends she jumped or fell
from the machine.
Bernard Underwood, fraternity
brother of the Paramount wv. Va
dentist, gave the most damaging
testimony Thursday.
Underwood said that on Sept. Is,
the day the girl died, the three of
them were together and were going
to Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr.'S Lazy
Me dude ranch.
Martha invited me, but DR.. An
DIRE said they weren't coming back
that way" Underwood testified.
"Then Martha said, All right; so
long; I'll see you later"
Underwood declared DR.. Andre
shook his head and remarked: mo,
you won't see him any more"

PHOENIX, AriZ., Dec. 18.-Hen-
rietta Schermler, 24-year-old Co
lumbia university student, died on
lonely trail en- route to an Apache
dance after violation of an almost
sacred Apache conventional code.
She started to the dance astride
pony with an Apache buck.
The eastern girls body, battered,
and, it is alleged, subjected to an
attack before death, was found on
the White river reservation last
July. Golney (Mac) Seymour, o.
year-old Apache, will appear in fed
eral court next month in Globe on
a charge of her first degree muir
der.
The tragic climax to a brilliant
girls desire to learn more about q
primitive people is further evidence
she sought to do the impossible:
Blend the ways of the red man
and the white man. The attempt
cost her life.
Violated Tribal Code
And if the eastern girl who OBJ
tanned cabin on the reservation
and there lived alone had known,
accepted and respected the Apache
mode of conduct applying to un-
married men and women she would
have been alive today.
The Indians did not understand
her casual association with the
young men on the reservation. 1t
seems she did not understand that
certain casual customs not consid-
cred improper in New York were
irregular on the reservation.
For instance, an Apache Squaw
may ride with her husband, but an
unmarried Apache girl loses caste
if she mounts the same pony with
a buck. Such an act is fragrant
violation of Apache conventions.
Fear Seen Staying Motive
Evidence indicates Miss Scherm-
Ter left her cabin aside the same
pony with Seymour. Her act in
mounting the same horse, while
meaningless to her, was ''revela-
ton" to the Indian.
If he then killed her. as the gov
eminent says he did, he reverted
partly to white training and acted
through fear in an effort toward
concealment.
In any event the case proves
two things conclusively:
/. That death is huge price to
pay for knowledge of Indian ways
and emotions.
2. That relations between the red
man and white man have advanced.
A few years ago such an incident
would have provoked an Indian war.
An orderly trial is possible today.

TOXIC, Dec. ia war office
statement today that Japanese
troops in Manchuria were COM
PEELED to undertake an extensive
punitive expedition" against Chinese
troops and bandits" was regarded
as q possible preliminary to an adj
vance on Chinchow.
The statement said the expedition
would be undertaken west of the
Lao river, in the Chinchow area.
The TientSin correspondent of
the japanese News Agency Nippon
Dempo reported that Marshal Chang
Hseuh-Liang expressed belief that
a japanese attack on Chinchow was
impending. He ordered General
Jung Chen, commanding the $4,000
troops in the Chinchow area, to re-
Sist ITO the bitter end" the report
said.
Marshal Chang previously had re-
signed all his connections with
Manchuria, where he was dominant
until ousted by the japanese.
1t was recalled that the war office
had stated repeatedly that it would
not hesitate to occupy Chinchow if
such move became imperative.
The report that General Jiro
Minami, minister of war in the late
Wakatsuki cabinet, would be ap-
pointed administrative chairman
to control and coordinate Japan's
interests in Manchuria and Korea
had not been confirmed officially.
General Minami said he was going
to Manchuria on a general inspec-
ton tour, but he had no informa-
ton regarding his reported appoint
ment.

THE candidacy of Paul v. Nc
i Mutt, Indiana university law
school dean, for the Democratic
nomination for Governor, is beg
ginning to suffer from a dragging
effect-and the main and weight
est cause of this is said to be the
adherence of Bowman Elder, ma
tional treasurer of the American
Legion.
Beyond a doubt, if reports are to
be believed, Elder finds little favor
among partisan county workers.
No phase of his activity meets
with approval of the rank and file
of the organization, and politicians
declare that the active support of
Bowman Elder for candidate as
SureS him definite loss of organi-
cation members.
Dislike for political figure some
times can be laid to factionaliSm,
but, from all indications, the legion
official seems to find no apologiSts
at city hall, courthouse or state
house.
q
Basic reason for this is said to
be the manner in which Elder has
arrogated to himself a seemingly
commanding position in county
Democratic affairs without ever ac-
tually being raised to any such rank
either by his party activity or po-
litical ability.
Criticism of Elder came to the
