CAR LINE GETS
BRIDGE BILL

The District Commissioners
recorded today two certificates of
indebtedness, totaling $53,611.19,
against the Washington Railway
and Electric Company for half
the cost of construction material
and labor in placing a new foor
on the Anacostia Bridge last year.
The action was based On a law
passed in 1904. The certificates
bear interest of 10 per cent from
the date of issue, and if not paid
within a year the Commissioners
have the power to sell property of
the company to realize the in
debtednesS.
In 1929, the Commissioners
awarded a contract for repairing
the flooring of the bride. The
Washington Railway and Electric
Company was billed for $51, 1901
for work, and $1,731.O4 FOR labor
and material.

police to locate this man and to
determine if possible whether he
was in Washington on the night
of April II, when Mary Baker
was last seen alive as she strug-
gled with a man in her auto
mobile at Seventeenth and B
Streets Northwest.
According to the information
turned over to police by the news
paper reporter, the informant
told them that the man sus-
pected is the very type of the
man seen struggling with Miss
Baker the night of the murder.
The mysterious wOmdn told
police the man asked her several
times on the ride if she had any
marks of Identification on her
body or undergarments and then
placed his hands on her throat.
She added, it is said, that
when she left her companion she
charged him with having slain
Mary Baker and he did not deny
the allegation but broke down
and wept and drove off shouting
that he would never be seen or
heard from again.

this shield, Carol hopes to clear
the way for solution of the
economic and financial Difficult
ties harassing his regime, while
at the same time removing OBJ
stacles to an open reunion with
Nine. Lupescu, the dispatch
added.
Conferring with close friends
and political leaders in the royal
palace and elsewhere into the
early hours of the morning, Nine.
Lupescu, was described in the
dispatch as having made subStan-
tial progress in formulating the
program for Carols seizure OF
absolute power.
AS soon as possible, it was de-
clared, the King intends to pro-
ceed with his long delayed formal
coronation. His divorced wife,
Princess Helene, will not be in
cluded in the ceremony, and it
was stated that she probably will
defer to the wishes of the SOW
ereign and leave the country.
Princess Helene has remained
in the capital solely for the sake
of her son, 9-year-old Crown
Prince Michael, steadfast in her
refusal to consider a reconCilia-
ton with the King.
Soon after Carols dramatic
coup d'etat last year, it was re-
ported on good authority that
the King had threatened to in
stall Nine. Lupescu in the royal
palace if Princess Helene per-
sisted in refusing a reconciliation.

SLAIN GIRL HAD
POSED IN NUDE

SAN DIEGO, Calf, April %
G.N.SD.-Police were on new
trail today in their investigation
of the murder of Louise Teuber,
II, whose unclad body was found
hanging from a tree Monday.
Louise, whose form was excep-
tional for her years, had posed
for at least one commercial
photographer here, police diScoV-
cred. With this finding, the
authorities today were convinced
that she had disrobed and was
posing at lie title of her Staying.
H. R. Newby, photographer and
retired naval officer, arrested
yesterday, admitted having made
pictures of Louise in the nude.
He was booked for violation OF
the law that forbids photograph
ing a nude person.
Two United States Marines
were questioned last night, but
nothing was obtained that might
link them with the girls hanging.

Phone Message Conveys Word
Physician Is In Chicago;
Description Of Coupe Aids

ST. LOUIS, April % GN.SO.
st. Louis and st. Louis county
police departments today we're
considering a maze Of clews in
connection with the disappear
ance of DR.. Isaac Kelley, ir.,
prominent local physician, be-
Ieved to have been kidnapped.
Although it has been two days
since the physician drove out
into a spring storm to answer
what is believed to have been a
faxed sick call, his whereabouts
or the identity of the men who
may have kidnapped him remains
q mystery.
Two Men Arrested
Two police characters today
were under arrest for investiga-
ton in connection with the doc
tors disappearance but their ap-
prehension was not deemed Of
great Importance. One of the
two men was arrested recently by
st. Louis police at the request of
Kansas City police in connection
with the abduction of Michael
Katz, but was later released.
Among the later developments
in the battling disappearance of
the physician was the announce
ment by Sheriff Alfred LiII, of st.
Louis county, that he had located
a witness who claimed to have
seen the actual kidnapping of DR..
Kelley.
Other Car Sighted
According to the sheriff, the
witness, whose name was not re-
vealed, said that he saw one of
two men in a grayish-green coupe
which had followed DR.. Kelley's
sedan jerk open the door of the
latter car and enter. The two
machines were then said to have
driven away.
A non-committal report of a
phone call received by Chief Of
Detectives Kaiser, in which he
was told "Don't worry about DR..
Kelley, he is in Chicago and he
is all right" was made.
Two fingerprints, one on the
"choke" of DR.. Kelley's car and
the other on the ledge Of the
back window, were being studied
by experts today.

to the front entrance of the hotel

large crowd of persons who
waited patiently for Alfonso's ap-

Old Friends Meet
The friendliest face to greet
him was that of Don Emanuel, ex-
king of Portugal, who awaited
him at Claridge's Hotel.
The two exiled kings grasped
hands and hurried to the royal
suite reserved for Alfonso.
The Duke of Miranda, Alfonso's
official spokesman, reiterated that
his sovereign's sole object in
coming to London was to make
ARRANGEMENTS for entering his
third son. the Infante Juan, in
the British naval academy.
On good authority, it was again
asserted that the real reasons
are two:
First, to sell some of his invest
ments to secure ready cash for
maintenance of his household at
Fontainebleau.
Second, to sign a formal decree
of abdicaticn effective if Spanish
elections prove overwhelmingly

On one of the upper floors of Macy's where her mother was looking at dresses, Iris decided to do some ex- 'ploring of her own N.
 When she looked for her mother again she just couldn't find her |. Mrs. Colwell went pretty white when she realized that Iris was gone There didn't seem to be much hope of ever finding her again in a city of 6,000,000 people The store detectives got busy and secured floor after after floor for the little curly headed visitor from Alaska, and finally they had to tell the mother that they hadn't any luck, but that they'd try all over again So Mrs. Colwell decided to call the police But first she called the hotel May McGovern, chief telephone operator at the Knickerbocker responded My little girl" sobbed the mother <. :. "Is this Mrs. Colwell?" questioned Miss McGovern "Yes, my little girl is lost!" Why, no she isn't" replied the phone girl, she's sitting right out here in one of the big lobby chairs! Want to talk to her? Later, when the child was asked to explain how she managed to find her way back to the hotel, she said:-
