MAYOR WALKER IS GIVEN TIP IN LINDBERGH CASE
Shell, Likely Contention Chairman,
 Once q Logger, Nov C. Q. P. Stnl,vart
By OSCAR LEIDING WASHINGTON, May 20. :

WASHINGTON, May 20. A stalwart among Republican forces ''cn the hill'' for nearly IT years is expected to wield the gavel as Permanent Chairman of the G. o. P. National Convention.
 He is Representative Bertrand H. Shell, an upstate New Yorker whose qualities as presiding off cer his party had hoped to honor earlier by electing him Speaker of the House.
 Representative Shell was not elected Speaker, polling POT votes to the 2l8 which put Representa- tive John Nance Garner in the chair, and is expected instead to be ating and platform making deliber- ations.
 tionS.
 Is Leader
 Grim and dogged, slow to flare up, but relentless in driving to- ward his belief of the right, he is Ia leader who learned to handle men in logging camps along the Raquette river, near where the St. Lawrence river divides Canada from the United States.
 Brain and brawn both played their part in Shells advance from logger to bookkeeper to big busi- ness executive and continue to contribute their share in his poll tical life.
 Words for him are not wings for the oratory, but mediums for making a point and stating a pur- pose or cause. He is serious and taciturn, though as he sits in the House with his fingers playing over his full-cheeked face, the movement interrupted only by the nasty scrlbling of reminder" he chuclsles often over the words .of a speaker
 Is a Fighter
 Rep. Shell is known to his col leagues as a fighter-and an hon. est one-and his dogged determina- tion lies as much in his actions as in his physical appearance. He is well built, of medium stature, and has well-filled and ruddy face with sandy brows and thin ming hair.
 After graduation from Amherst college, Shell began his business career as ibookkeeper for a lum- bering concern and amassed for tune in paper, pulp, power and cheese enterprises.
 He will be no stranger in the Chicago Convention, for he was a delegate to the party conven- tions held there in 1916 and 1920 and in 1924 in Cleveland.

Bischoff was whitewasher be- sides being a shoe cobbler. His earnings never amounted to more than few hundred dollars year He had lived in the one tenement 28 years.
 As a boy he attended school across the street, but he quit his studies at 12.
 In school he never seemed to have boy companions, and was not known to engage in sports or play. He never was known to be in love, and he seemed timid in the pres ence of women. He had a curious tendency to- ward collection of odd objects. His room was filtered with old knives with broken blades boxes for kindling wood, books, collection of old brooms, empty food cans and wide variety of clothing.
 He sometimes would spend hours sitting upon the front step. Children seemed afraid of him, but the neighbors had always said, Charley wouldn't hurt anyone"
