'DRy ISSUE SPLITS
/. SOCIETY IN DETROIT
Campaigns Are Launched
Daily for Supporters on
Both Sides.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
DETROIT. March 5.-Society in De-
troit, long dominated by two nationally
prominent women, has been split into
two camps by the action of the two
leaders in taking up the torch for and
against the present prohibition law
Each group, with its respective leader
in the thick of the fight, is heading the
active movement among Michigan
women for and against the eighteenth
amendment. Every day sees a cam
paign launched for the enlistment of
more names in the citys social reg
lister to aid the respective causes.
At the head of the prohibition forces,
a leader In the campaing for retaining
present prohibition laws is Mrs. Truman
H Newberry. longtime social leader
and wife OF prominent Michigan
resident Heading the opposition camp
the Womans Organization for Ma
tional Prohibition Reforms Mrs.
Frederick M. Alger, socially prominent
descendant of an old Detroit family.
Mrs. Alger is the active chairman of the
Michigan branch of the women's or
ganization.
Ally of Prohibition.
Mrs. Newberry, for years actively
allied with the Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union, began her campaign by
allying herself with the allied forces for
prohibition, greatly increasing the force
of that organization. She opened her
campaign several months after Mrs.
Alger had begun her vigorous activity
in the Women's Organization for Pro-
hibition Reform.
Since it became evident that well
known persons in Detroit were deter
mined to make an organized fight for
the release of liquor, it seemed my duty
to do what I could to help the other
side, in line with my own convictions"
said Mrs. Newberry. Thereupon she be-
gan a canvass of Detroit society lead
ers and presented publicly the names
of prominent persons who, she said had
promised to assist her.
Mrs. Alger, the leading figure in an
organization claiming nearly $4,000
Michigan woman members, has been for
several months the head of the women's
movement seeking referendum on the
prohibition question. Other social lead
ers in Detroit as well as in other Mich
igan cities, have rallied to her banner.
II admit it takes good deal of cour-
age to come out boldly to battle against
the Constitution of our country" she
says, but we must be bold if we are
w odNC Oul yOuLiS pNOPic'
One of Most Active.
Under Mrs. Alger's leadership, the
Womens Organization for National Pro-
hibition Reform has become one of the
most active societies in Michigan. She
maintains headquarters in a downtown
Detroit Office building, has staff of
assistants, and makes lengthy speaking
tours in many parts of the State She
has enlisted the aid of society matrons
and Junior League members to raise
funds for her organization.
A definite separation in the fourth
city's social ranks has followed the cam
paigns of Mrs. Newberry and Mrs.
Alger. Society functions in the exclu-
sive Crosse Pointe farms section, De-
troit suburb, where the principals re-
side, are buzzing with plans and cam
paigns for both sides, and practically
every socially important woman Is en-
listed in one or the other group.

berlin POLICE FAIL
IN ONLY Il S[AY|NCS
Rank FavorabIy With Widely
Known Units in London
eand Paris.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, March 5-Less well known
than the French Surete or Scotland
Yard, Berlin's criminal police depart
ment has record of solving all but II
slayings here since 1928. This. in the
worlds third largest city, ranks favor
ably with the more publicized London
and Paris detective departments.
or the ii unSolved cases, police said
the slayer was known in two cases, but
the officers were unable to obtain evi-
dence to convict
Two of the IL killings that thus far
have baff1ed the police were dismember-
ment cases, one of whose victims has
not been identified In the series the
absence of crimes passionelles" is
marked.
Body Widely Scattered.
One Of the cases in the "unsolved"
portfolio is that of the unidentified
man whose body was found in four
widely scattered places in the Land
wehr Canal. Police believe this Staying,
first evidence of which came to light
in August, 1928. was the work of a
person highly skilled in the use Of
surgical instruments and suffering from
mental lapses.
The other diSmemberment case was
that of 24-year- Ilse Koenig, parts
of whose body were found two weeks
after she disappeared
The case which aroused the greatest
furore was the Staying of Hide Zeper-
nick, IL, whose body was found in the
basement of an unfinished house. An
aged man. residing in the neighborhood,
was arersted Police said they were
satisfied he was the slayer. His family,
showing signs of insanity in both the
fathers and in the mothers line, was
brought into the case against him.
Previous assaults were alleged, but the
man was freed.
Woman Slain for Nickel.
Berlin's cheapest unsolved Staying
was that of Marie Groffe, slain by a
robber for "two groschen," about q
nickel
The Staying of Ewald Won Schale-
panski, who dropped the won" by day
while driving his taxicab and reinsert-
ed it in his name by night when he
Inns night life, attracted wide atten-
ton
He was slain in December, 1929, and
repercussions of the killing were heard
in all quarters Police said Schale-
panski was gigolo and was slain be-
cause of his escapades, but they were
at loss to name the slayer.
All the modern detective methods
play their part in the work of the GRIM
inal police, working under Is division
chiefs. Microscopes, test tubes and re-
torts aid cameras in tracking down
killers.

Trade Trends

BY the Associated Press.
Chain Stores.-Sales of the first II
chain and mail order systems to report
for February record a decrease of nearly
7 per cent from the dollar volume for
the same month last year. This was
regarded as a fair showing, in view Of
price reductions.
Food Canning-An attempt to re-
gain a substantial portion Of the to-
mato packing business for the East is
seen in the recent move of several
leading Gamers in New Jersey and
neighboring States in lowering con-
tract tomato prices and adoption of
the grade plan for their purchases. For
the first time in nearly 20 years, it
Is said, the prices offered to Eastern
tomato growers are near a parity with
prices being offered to growers in Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Utah and other i'm
portant areas.
Rubber.-The uncertain tone of the
crude market for many months has
kept buyers out of the market, with the
result that inventories have fallen to
levels far below what might be termed
normal, according to reports in rubber
manufacturing circles. Many of the
manufacturers appear to feel that the
recent drop in the prices of crude rub
Der to new low levels and the mark
down in tire prices by three large pro-
ducers have eliminated good deal of
the improvement noted lately in trade
sentiment.
Shoes.-Trade circles hear that the
Endicott Johnson Co. since the Begin
ming of the current selling season, De-
cember l. has shipped about 20 per
cent more shoes, measured in units,
than year ago, and is per cent more
in dollar value.
