OLD AGE RELIEF URGED.
Bishop Mcconnell Asks Clifford to Press
Legislation.

NEW YORK, October S (P.-Walter
6. Clifford, chairman of President Hoo
ver's National Committee on Unem-
ployment Relief, was urged yesterday
by Bishop Francis j. Mcconnell to
press for enactment of old age security
legislation as a means of reducing un-
employment and relieving distress.
Such legislation" Bishop McCon-
nell wrote, would remove the most
destitute and the most pathetic group
from the ranks of the unemployed and
would decrease competition for the few
available jobs"
Bishop Mcconnell declared the old
age pension laws had proved less costly
than other relief methods.

Mrs. Ceilings, when notified of
the finding of her husbands
body, became hysterical and was
put to bed under the care of a
physician.
Word of the discovery was tele-
phoned to Inspector Harold r.
King, chief of Nassau county de-

The body was found less than IL
hours after Mrs. Lillian Ceilings
declared her belief that her hus-
band was alive.
Herbert Ceilings, her brother-in-
law, went to Lloyd's Neck and
identified the body.
The finding started a renewed
hunt for the assailants. Their
description, given time and again
by Mrs. Ceilings follows:
The older pirate-A hurley man
about so years old, heavy-set, deep
voiced and gruff; slightly under
six feet; sparse gray hair and
thick beetling black eyebrows.

Sand Yields Manned Body
OF Murdered Yachtn1dn

MINEOLA, N. Y, Sept. 16
QN.SJ Mystery was lifted from
the death of Benjamin P. Col

who disappeared from aboard his
yacht Penguin in long Island
Sound last Wednesday,, when his
battered body was found today
on the beach at Lloyd'S Neck, a
few miles from the scene of his
disappearance.
The body was tied hand and
foot with stout rope, confirming
in part the story told by the
widow that he had been set upon
by pirates in the dead Of night,
trussed and thrown from his
yacht.
Ceilings head was battered and
his body showed signs Of the beat
ing he had received at the hands
of his assailants and the buffet

RETURNS
TOZ|HLMAN

Maryland friends of former Rep
resentative Frederick N. zihlman,
while saying that he is out of
politics, are commenting today
upon two strokes of good luck
that has come to him. One is his
recent election as supreme die
tator Of the Loyal Order of Moose.
The other is the possibility that
the indictment against zihlman
as a director of the F. H. Smith
Company may be quashed in the
District Supreme Court.
It is known that Mr.. Zihlman'S
selection as supreme dictator, re-
garded as a lifetime job, had to
have the approval of Senator
James j. Davis of Pennsylvania,
who is director general of the
order. Consequently, it is be-
lieved by Mr.. Zihlman's friends
that some assurances must have
been given that the indictment
will be voided.
If this is done it might be
possible for the former Repre-
sentative to make a political
comeback in the Sixth Maryland
district in 1882, but the likelihood
is that Mr.. Zihlman will prefer
to stay out of politics and give
all his time to the Moose diCta-
tOrShip.
Former Representative Zihlman,
who formerly resided at Cumber-
land, has moved to Montgomery
county.

miralty board and described how
seamen had refused to obey orders
after staging meetings of protest
against the pay cuts enforced as
part of the governments economy
program.
ManeuverS Cancelled
According to the London Eve
ming News the disaffection start
ed last week when the fleet was
ordered to sail for maneuverS in
the North Sea. Ordered to weigh
anchor, the seamen refused to
obey, taking their places aStride
the anchor cables and proposing
three cheers to the King to show
that their protest was merely an
economic one and not directed
against the Crown.
The diSaffection became known
to the public when the admiralty
announced the fleet maneuvers
had been cancelled pending in
vestigation of the situation.

To this cryptic message, Ad-

"This is believed to refer to

Navy Officials Puzzled
Frances Bresson is Moyle's
fiancee. She kaG q brother
named Frank, whom officials took
to mean the Frank" mentioned

Naval officials, however, were
plainly puzzled over the message.
No word had previously been re-

checked the smart accessories
worn by washington women on
the principal street corners
yesterday. Announcements
we're made that the count
would begin with spring coats.
However the unusually cool

The results Of noting these

JOB AGENCIES

Private employment agencies
that take an applicants fee, but
fail to provide a job, are to be
thoroughly investigated by the
nationwide Federal free agencies,
which will swing into action in
the near future, Secretary of
Labor Doak announced yesterday.
Directors of Federal agencies
il every State have been in
Structed to make a survey of
the private concerns and report
their methods, the type of their
service. the extent Of their fees
and other details.
In Mr.. Doak's opinion, the
task Of finding jobs for Ameri-
can citizens is a proper function
of the Government and not of
private firms.
He has received information
that "Cyp" employment agencies
in the large industrial centerS
are taking advantage of the de-
preston to prey on the jobless
and are flourishing more than
they ever have.

much like an evening dress you
could almost wear them as

these ruffles are lace like the
