FATAL AMBUSH.
EVENS GRUDGE

KSON, KY, Jan. IL
G.N.SO "A m b u sh e d as they
walked to Jail, deputy sheriff
and his prisoner were shot to
death before dawn today in this
county seat Of Bloody Breath
it,"
Officers who had gone on
ahead with another prisoner
heard firing, rushed to the bridge
spanning the north fork of the
Kentucky River, and found the
bodies of Deputy Sheriff James
Marshall, 40, and Richard Jett,
so, farmer.
Revenge against Marshall was
believed the motive for the at
tack, with Jett falling an inno-
cent victim. Officers were un-
certain whether the gunmen
sought to avenge Jett's arrest or
to retaliate for a liquor raid par
ticipated in by Marshall year
ago when L. K. Elcaney was
killed.

| |. A BAD RISK

NEW YORK, Jan. IL QNS.).
The report long current in in
surance circles, that the late Cal
vim Coolidge had been secretly
suffering from heart trouble,
which made him non-insurable,
was confirmed today by an ex-
ecutive of an insurance aSsocia-
ton who requested his name be
withheld. He said:
"It was well known in the
trade that . heart ailment
marked Mr.. Coolidge as a poor
risk and none of the larger in
surance companies would issue
a policy to him."
A fellow officer of the New
York Life Insurance Company,
of which the ex-PreSident was a
director, said that among most
of the officials Of the company
there was as much speculation
as to the amount of Coolidge in
surance as elsewhere.
This executive likewise de-
clined to discuss the report that
Coolidge recently had been
turned down on an application
for a 100000 insurance policy.

DO-NOTHINGEST
SESSION IN
HISTORY
Filipino Bill, Due for Veto, Only
Major Achievement; Rest :
Merely Odds and Ends. ,
By GEORGE r. HOLMES

The lame duck Congress, prob
ably the last of the species, is in
fair way to go into the history
books as the "do-nothingneSt"
Congress that ever convened on.
Capitol Hill.
At the halfway mark today, six
weeks behind it and six weeks
ahead of it, the present session
has accomplished but one major
piece of legislation, the Filipino
independence bill, and that likely
will be negatived by a Presidential
veto.
AS for the balance of the am.
bilious program announced at the.
outSet-balancing the budget, pas
sage of a beer bill, repeal Of pro-,
hibition and enactment of a farm
relief bill-it appeared exceedingly.
unlikely today that any of it can
be accomplished.
Tax Change Hopeless
All thought of budget-balancing
at this session has disappeared,
except in the idle talk of the
leaders. They will effect a par.
tial balancing by means of cut
ting down appropriations, but
there will be no general tax bill
before March 4, and without,
such a measure there can be no;
balance struck on the budget.
AS for a beer bill, the chances
are considered about fifty-fifty Of,
getting one through in the next
six weeks, but even if favorable
action can be had, it will mean
but little, for President Hoover'S
intimates assert positively he will
veto it.
Merely Odds And Ends
The Senate is hog-tied by q
filibuster on the Glass banking,
reform bill, with few signs Of Q
let-up.
A recapitulation of the accom-.
plishments of the session to date
shows that Congress has actually
completed action on nine bills, Of
which only one, the Filipino In
dependence bill, is of interest out
side Washington.

NEW CLUE AIDS
BANDMASTE
DEATH PROBE
SChiIdhauer Slain in Apart
ment, Not Auto, Theory Of
Police Captain Now

CHICAGO, Jan. IL Q.N.S9.
Spurred on by discovery Of a blood
stain in the building where Capt.
Edwin o. Schildhauer lived before
his puzzling murder, police closely
guarded the home today while a
minute search of the interior was
made for further clues.
Guards were placed in the three
story apartment building for the
purpose Of keeping the pretty
widow, Frances, and her parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. George Birkinshaw,
under surveillance, Police Captain
John Siege said.
Carried Out Dead?
Siege disclosed that he is inves-
tigating the possibility that the
bandmaSter was carried out Of the
apartment dead. His widow main
tainS that Schildhauer was kid
naped on the front sidewalk and
forced into the automobile from
which the body was later dumped
in gangland fashion.
The blood stain was found on
the right top post of the steps
leading from the porch to the
sidewalk. Apparent efforts to
wash the stain away had reduced
its size considerably, Siege as
serted.
DR.. Clarence Muehlberger, coro-
ner's chemist, identified the stain
as that of human blood after a
close inspection.
Meanwhile, new light was
thrown on the comely widows ad-
mitted illicit love affairs by the
testimony of Joseph Angelski, for
mer law clerk for Paul Walton,
disbarred attorney who is said to-
have been intimate with Mrs.
Shildhauer. Angelski said Mrs.
Schildhauer had urged Walton to
divorce his wife, Siege disclosed.

Federal authorities questioned
GLlC W4OOW oNOOO pOooAbAC NAOA0GAO4A
Of the Mann act during her trip
to Memphis with Carl Bradberry,
former deputy sheriff, who had
admitted illicit relations with the
widow.
New witnesses who said they
saw the Schildhauers on the
night of the murder returning
home from dinner substantiated
Stege's theory that the band
master was carried from his
home dead. These witnesses said
they saw the couple on their way
home between 8 and $40 o'clock.
The widow, however, maintained
that Schildhauer went home,
shaved, practiced a half hour on
his instruments, left the house,
and was kidnapped by his slayers.
At New HolStein, Wis, the
murdered mans father, Herman
Schildhauer, told detectives that
his sons widow and her par
ents had pretended that the
bandmaSter'S life insurance was
negligible, whereas he left $4,000
in policies.

GRID STAR HELD
IN WIFE PLOT

LOS GELES, Jan. IL
UN.S0 Another woman in the
life of Gerald Allen Craig, 80,
World War hero and former Uni
verSity of Southern California
football star, was sought by police
today as detectives grilled Craig
in an effort to force him to ad-
nit he plotted to have his wife
murdered by a hired gunman for
$500 yesterday. ~
A dramatic face-toface meet
ing between Craig and his wife
was planned at the police station
today.
Trail Other Woman
Mrs. Craig's father, James Nor
ley, former owner Of the Los
Angeles club of the Pacific Coast
Baseball League, declared:
81 don't believe that Jerry
Craig planned to kill my daugh-
ter"
Meanwhile, the wife, pretty
Mrs. Elsie Craig, prominent in so
cial and club circles, revealed a
chilling story of her last "a hours
before the time when detectives
said her husband planned that
her head would be crushed with
a steel bar, and if that failed,
shot to death.
Trapped by Detective
Police declared they learned
that the motive for the asserted
death plot was Craig's alleged
desire to get complete control of
$4,000 in community property,
but they sought another woman
mentioned by Mrs. Craig in an
effort to determine whether the
husband planned the deed be-
cause of a secret love affair.
Craig was arrested on a charge
of attempted murder after he
was said by Joseph Taylor, chief
OF detectives, to have hired De-
tective Lieut.. T. R. Bryan, posing
as Toledo, Ohio, gangster, to
kill Mrs. Craig.

USE Of CHICAGO
PARK ASKED
BY NUD|STS

CHICAGO, June 9 GNSO.
"A storm Of protests from resi-
dents Of the fashionable gold
coast" today greeted a petition
signed by 10000 persons request
Ing an enclosure for nude sun
bathing close by Lake Michigan
In Lincoln Park.
Members of the park board
took the petition as well as. the
protests under advisement. DR..
Arne Suominen, nature cure spe,
cialiSt and friend of the late
Mayor Anton Cermak, is leader
( Of the movement.
The petition requests that a
stockade be built on the beach
where men could baSk in the
sun for a period to be followed
BY the women sun bathers.
In answer to a criticism that
a fence could not be built high
enough" DR.. Suominen con.
tended that a wood stockade g
feet high would be sufficient to
close out the views from nearby
apartment buildings which tower
high above the park.
Arguing the petition before the
board, the nature cure specialist
contended that to get the full
benefit of the suns rays a per
son should not wear a bathing
suit.
