Thomas Flanagan, 1920 Park
Place, wants us to send him a
membership card and a card
admitting him to see the Babe
Ruth film at the Rialto. We are
sending him the membership
card but he is a little late for
the film. That was shown Sat
urday morning, March 26. How.
ever, there will be other films so
Tommy can hang on to his card
and be prepared when the next
one comes.
MiShel Wagman wants mem
berShip card but doesn't send us
his address. He says he reads
the Adventure column every day
and listens to Kit KarSon over
WJSV twice a week. So he really
ought to have a card and he will
get one Immediately if he'll send
in his address.
Nor does Jack Reamey send
us his address. And we'd like to
have the club write to Jack be-
cause he's had a tough break.
He was hit by an automobile
sometime ago, and is still in
bed.
A little poem sent us by John
Myers, 1921 N st. N. w., goes
like this:
II am glad to be an Adventure
Club Member
'And hope to be happier by next
December"
So do a lot Of us, son.
Johnny says he was tickled
to get his card, and it is the
first time he ever belonged to
any club. He is a reader of the

 Work of Paul Cret.
 The colonades built on Hill 204, overlooking Chateau Thierry to commemorate the stemming of the German tide at that river in the second battle of the Marne, are fully completed. They are the work of Dr Paul Cret, of Phila- delphia, who also designed the monument of columns which marks the scene Of the Pennsylvania soldiers fighting at Varennes, and was erected by that state.
 The names of the 1900 missing dead have been carved on the monument in Romagne cemetery. the largest of the. battlefield buri- al grounds, with 19,000 marble crosses arranged in batttalions of dead.

 American relations with Ireland were emphasized during the debate when Deputy Patrick McGilligan interpreted remarks of Postmaster General Connolly as meaning that the United States had taken up. the cause of Ireland.
 "Otherwise the postmaster gen. eral is committing another diplo- matic blunder, adding to the rude- ness shown the French minister" McGilligan said. He referred to the incident in which De Valera SUD- porters walked out of the French legation, where they were attend ing a reception, when Governor General MacNeil arrived.
 McGilligan asked whether the postmaster general had the author ity of the United States Minister to Ireland for the statement made in the Dali that the United States would not reduce England's war debt as long as the Irish question remained unsettled.
 The Dali adjourned until October 19. The senate will receive the em- ergency bill. but cannot reject it,

 Captain Mitchell, who was 54 years of age. was laid up from then until the time of his death.
 At the hearing before Commis- sioner Williams the city claimed that death was not due to service rendered for the municipality. Dr A. J. Jackson testified for the city. Dr George Blumer of New Haven, widely known medical authority, appeared for the claimant, Mrs Mitchell, and contended that the death did occur from an ailment sustained while in the service of the city.
 Commissioner Williams, there- fore, in to-day's finding, awarded Mrs Mitchell compensation at the rate of $21, weekly, for 312 weeks. This award will be subject to modi- fication in the event that Mrs Nit chell remarries before the 312- week period expires.

The following named witnesses were examined: George Burke, 41 Cooke street; Dorsey Burke, I'll Bishop street; Mrs olive Burke, 231 Bishop street; Mrs Marie Burke, I'll Bishop street; Dr Har- ry A. Dochelli, ,95 North, Main street; Charles Hubbard, 84 Winter street, New Haven, Conn:' Mrs Hell en Hubbard, 84 Winter street, New Haven, Conn: Eugene Higgins, 61 Vine street; Mrs Clara Savage, 175 Bishop street; Richard Savage, 175 Bishop street; James Stevens. 2S0 Whalley avenue, New Haven, Conn; Mrs Jeanette Stevens, 280 Whalley avenue, New Haven. Conn; John Winston, Waterbury police department.
 Having considered all of the tes- timony taken at the inquest togeth- CT with a report of the autopsy, I, on the 9th day of August, A.. D. 1892, made the following finding concerning said death:
 The deceased occupied an apart ment in the basement at Al Cooke street where he was employed as janitor of the building for the G.. l.. & D. Realty company. He had been living with his wife, Olive Burke, up until two weeks prior to July 24fh. 1899 when she removed to 231 Bishop street. occupying a three-room apartment furnished by Burke.
 There had been differences be- tween Burke and his wife, her con- tention being that he was indiffer- ent to her and was paying atten- tion to other women. He provided for her support and was diligent and faithful in tn performance of his duties at the apartment building. On July 24th Burke went to New Haven, visited friends there and returned to Waterbury with Mir and Mrs Charles Hubbard and MT and Mrs James Stevens, all of New Haven. It was then between 12:30 and 1900 q. m., DIST, of July 18th. Burke invited his friends into the apartment at Al Cooke street. He entered the kitchen and turned on the light. Mir and Mrs Stevens and MT and Mrs Hubbard remained in the kitchen while Burke went into the dining room which is east of the kitchen. He put on the light. which was dim, and began walking toward the door of the living room.
 His wife, Olive Burke, unbe- known to the deceased, had en- tered the apartment a short time before Burke's arrival. She was familiar with the place where the key to the apartment was kept and had no difficulty in gaining admit tance. She was standing in the darkened living room near the en- trance to- the dining room and as Burke approached the threshold between the. two rooms, she stab- bed him in tn e left chest with a jackknife, the blade entering the heart. causing a wound three eighths of an inch wide just below

 Bloodhounds bayed all night long, followed by groups of search CTS whose lanterns flickered eerily in the timber and on the open fields surrounding Glenn Burnne. The body was found Friday morn ing. Miss Merrill had been shot three times.
 A coroner's jury returned a yer dict of murder at the hands of, a person or persons unknown.
 These tangible clews were re- ported: Three bullet holes in the wall of the room in which the vic- tim was shot. Signs of 8 struggle there. A. bloody army overcoat and a woman g. coat and comb found in the yard.
 Miss Jennie," as the rec1use was known to the neighborhood, had been in love for 20 years with Dun- can G. Minor, a neighbor. There had been talk of a marriage but that was discounted because Min or's relatives drowned on the roc nance, and there was talk of dis inheritance in case of marriage.

Sheriff May Arrest
 Libby Holman Soon

which included it's waiver of extra dition, they did not know that Sheriff Scott had sent the following telegram to Sheriff Irving J. Hol- lingsworth. of Newcastle, county. Delaware:
 q hold capias for arrest of Mrs Libby Holman Reynolds on charge of murder based on grand jury indictment. l have information she is with Mrs Louisa D'A Jenney at Montchanin, Del. Please cause arrest of Mrs Reynolds and wire me. If Mrs Jenney is not in Mont chanin. wire me here whereabouts if possible"
 Scott had not discussed possible surrender of Miss Holman with her attorneys or her father.
 His knowledge of their promises came to him only through infor- nal channels.
 Mrs Jenney, said here to be a member of the Dupon family of Delaware, is reportedly a close friend of Miss Holman. She is said to have visited her here only a few weeks before the death of smith ReynoldS.
 Belief of Scott that Miss Holman is with Mrs Jenney is based chief ly on information received from an agent who reported to him that on July "A at 10:30 a. m. a big automobile with Delaware license tags later found to be registered in Mrs Jenny's name, came to the home of Miss Holman's sister, Mrs Myron Kahn, near Cincinnati. The sheriff believes Miss Holman drove away with Mrs Jenney in that car.
 Attorneys for Miss Holman did not say they would bring habeas corpus proceedings in her behalf, once she is in the Jurisdiction of the North Carolina courts, but many believed they would. It of- fers them channel through which they might succeed in saving her the discomfort and humiliation of actually going to jail, provided they could convince the court she was entitled to release on bond.
 There is no intention on the part of MT Holman," Attorney Graves said and Polikoff agreed, "to prevent his daughter appear ing here at the convenience of the court, nor does she have any in- tention of attempting to evade trial.
 Her father merely is attempting to protect her from discomfort and unnecessary shock. You realize she Is approaching motherhood"

 Libby was reported to be guest in the home of Mrs Louisa DA Jenney at Montchanin, just outside Wilmington. Calls to the home there did not confirm the reports. The sheriff's office at Wilmington denied any knowledge of a request for Libby Holman's arrest.

Paris, Aug e.-(UP)-strength of the dollar is expected to start shipments of European gold to the United States soon, reversing the drain of America's gold to the old world. The dollar IS now 20 cen- times above the gold export point and several centimes above gold parity.
 Other factors expected to con- tribute to the export of European gold included the, weakness of the pound sterling, the present advance in Wail street. and conversion of the British war loan to lower in- terest rates. The French govern ment also Is expected to initiate a conversion move aimed to save the treasury several billion francs an- nually.

rnent." They have attempted to fix a Hoover label on it. This is tn ework of the same type of poli- ticians who encouraged, President Hoover four years ago to promise the abolition of poverty.
 Republicans who place the busi- ness welfare of the nation above partisan advantage hope these fa- vorable business trends will be en- couraged without injection of political claims.
 Part of the skepticism over the current upward movement arises from the quiet but potent activity behind the scenes in New York of Eugene Meyer. governor of the Federal Reserve board. He re- gently withdrew from the chair manship of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. There was some mystery at the time.
 Little credence was placed in re- ports that his health had sudden ly gone bad. Now it has developed that Meyer was being taken out of a front window job so he would be free for more effective work on the firing line of business.
 Meyer Is functioning almost as the prime minister of the unom- cial coalition business cabinet in New York consisting of Owen D. Young and a master committee of bankers and financiers. This group practically controls the financial and industrial life of the nation. It is throwing every source into play to pump breath into the eco- homie life of the country.
 It is not a partisan movement. There is no politics in the recov- cry efforts Of q man whose for tune of $1,OO0,0OO in U. g. Steel has shrunk to $1O0,000. A man who held $2,500,000 distributed among IA market leaders in 1928 Is now worth e165.000. These want business to pick up and they don't care much who is president.
 But as soon as the signs of en- couragement appeared the crew oi political camp followers began to crowd around. Their chant ts that MT Hoover will be reelected if busi- ness picks up.
 One of the most restrained of the political laimers was Betram B. Mott. New Jersey republican state chairman, who declared as he left a conference with President Hoover: ..
 "Business Is reviving and if 1t keeps up by fall we will run away with the vote."
