MOTIVES FOR CRIME
 REDUCED TO THREE
Phoenix Authorities Work on Theories Scene of
 Murder Described

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Oct. 21.-The whereabouts of Mrs. w. o. Judd, wanted in con- nection with the murder of
 Miss Agnes Leroy and Miss
 Hedvig SamuelsOn, formerly ,Of Juneau, Alaska, is still a
 mystery. The Los Angeles
 police have sent a description
 of the woman to all towns on
 the Pacific Coast from the ! Mexican border to the Can- adian border and from Los Angeles to Phoenix, Arizona. Scores of clues have flooded the police search for Mrs. Judd but each investigation went to naught,
 either disappearing or proving a case of mistaken identity.
 Possible Motives
 Three possible motives for the crime have been advanced, jealousy. insanity or illicit intimacies. The theory of intimacies are based on a diary in the possession of the Phoenix authorities. The police said Sdt told ~esf, a strange | Infection ss6xeen the two victims, then sudden change of attitude and actions when Mrs. Judd went to live with them.
 Narcotics in Case In letter written by Dr.. Judd,
 the police found a theory of a
 possible deranged mind. He told
 her: Try to exercise little self
 control You are in danger of getting yourself into serious con-
 dition." In this he referred to a
 mild narcotic which she was ap-
 parently taking. The doctor wrote further in the letter: Tt will
 knock your system to fare-you-
 well, if you don't cut 1t out"
 Because Mrs. Judd dragged empty
 trunks instead of carrying them,
 the authorities here and at Phoe- nix have abandoned the idea she
 had an accomplice.
 No trace of Mrs. Judd has been
 found since she left the automo-
 bile of her brother on Monday,
 after she secured s from him,
 and when the two were driving
 from the baggage room where the agent had insister that the trunks
 be opened before they could be delivered.

Old Armor Clue to Mystery asrts1s of Golden Age of Eskimos

WASHINGTON, D. O., Oct. 2l.- An ancient piece of armor. worn by Northland warrior perhaps as much as a thousand years ago is the latest clue to the mystery of the Eskimos' origin.
 Discovery of breastplate made of whalebone has been reported by Moreau B.. Chambers of the Smith, sonian Institution. He fould the armor with many other relics of the long-vanished golden age" of Es- kimo history while excavating pre- historic village sites on St. Law renee Island in the Boring Sea this summer.
 Beautifully carved ornaments. and weapons found on the village sites provide additional evidence that the Eskimo originated in Asia. said Henry B. Collins, Jr.

Premier Mussolini Patient ly Scheming on New
 Proposals
By John Evans

ROME, Oct. 2l.-The 'nibbline process on reparations. due perhaps to receive further impetus by the visit of Laval of France to Presi- dent Hoover, reveals the tenacious patience of Benito Mussolini.
 Ever since he rose to power in 1922 this black shirt symbol oi quick, vigorous action, has bided his time on this question, acting )nly when opportunity gave him an opening to chip off few more of the rough edges of the 1919 peace terms.
 Debts Endanger Peace
 Nine years ago, when the repara- tions commission fixed German payments at s52S,O0O, ,0OO, 900, hi denoucement of them as too great l burden and as danger to world peace were almost as definite a. his urge for relief when the Young plan reduced them to $168 .000, 900, ; 900.
 He never openly advocated can cellation of debts, which would bt implied by abandonment of repara- tions, but there is nothing to show he would oppose it. On the contrary he has acknowledged the justice o1 Americas claim to repayment o1 war loans. q
 His theme all along has been ths note sounded in Ramsay Mac. Donald's election manifesto, that reparations and war debts. how. ever well justified, bear too heavily upon the worlds economic life. Hs has seen them too as inflaming thu sores of war into dangerous hatreds < $ Is1 No Philanthropist So he did not hesitate to accep1 instantly Hoover's moratorium pro. posal, making it plain that Italy would be in the salvage squad o1 nations, even if France remained out
 The duce takes no credit as ar  international philanthropist. Ee long as other nations accept repara- tions. he wants Italy to have her share. Hence. while he pleaded for reductions. he also fought for an increase in Italy's percentage and got 12 per cent under the Young plan instead of the previous 10 per cent.
 To get this 12 per cent, Italy sacrificed considerable right of in- demnity from Austria, Hungary and Bulgaria. But there also Musso- lini's philanthropy was practiced in his country's interest. italy needs the friendship and trade of central Europe.

LIQUOR ISSUE TO VOTE,
 CURRAN URGES
Declares People Are Two to One Against 18th
 Amendment

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 21.- Prohibitions war of words has been resumed with a ringing demand by Henry H. Curran. president of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, that Congress submit the issue to the jury" of the Am erican public.
 In demanding a national refer. endum, Curran said the people are two to one against prohibition. He pointed out that the move for re- form has been sponsored by such organizations as the American Le- zion, the American Bar Association and the American Federation oI Labor.
 Curran said his organization will demand that both parties include blanks next year favoring a nation al referendum.
 Funds Sought
 Evidently preparing for serious battle. the national prohibition board of strategy broadcast an ap- peal for "one million dimes" to fi- nance the campaign against mod ification. They hope to raise $100,- 900 in this manner to offset a like sum which they said was donated recently by three anti-prohibition millionaires" to fight for modified tion.
 Edwin c. Dinwiddie, executive secretary of the board, said coin cards will be distributed to church organizations throughout the coun- try with the request that the dimes be sent in on November 30. A third development in the dry warfare was a strong attack by for Inner Senator Henry Clay Hans Through. chairman of the League fol Modification of the Volsteadt Act on the recent dry statement of L. J. Taber, master of the National Grange.
 Taber said that prohibition had benefited the farmer by greatly increasing the consumption of milk and other dairy products. t In reply, l1ansbrough pointed out that thousands of acres formerly devoted to the raising of barley and hops are now used for wheat and corn, thus increasing the farm surplus. HanSbrough added:
 Tt may interest MT. Taber, in connection with farm products, tc know that an analysis of a quart of buttermilk revealed an alcoholic content of nearly 3 per cent; of a loaf Of bread, of nearly 3 per cent; of a cantaloupe, of nearly per cent.
 "Yet If the foolish provisions ot the Volstead act are to be con- strued literally, any article of food or drink which contains more than one-half of per cent of alcohol is not only illegal but injurious to health and morals" E
 In his demand for referendum Curran said ,26 Senator's and l65 Representatives have publicly stat ed they believe the issue should be resubmitted to the people. He said prompt action in repeating the amendment would give quick help in ending hard times.
