TEST DEVISED
 FOR CITY POLICE
Adaptability Exam Deter mines Standards of
 Various Forces

Chicago (UP)-Cities now can determine how the general ability of their police force compares with a national standard by using a newly designed police adaptability test.
 The test, made up by the United States civil service commission at the request of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, was devised to improve police personnel and eventually set up a national standard of attainment.
 Tried out successfully in sample cities, including Washington, D. C., eight cities are already giving their police oicers the test based on practical knowledge and ability to analyze and solve police problems. The cities are Berkeley, Calf; Mason City, Ia; Wichita, Kan; Lansing, Mich; Salt Lake City, Utah; Norfolk, Va; Seattle, Wash, and Kenosha, Wis.
 Experience on a police force may enable men to perform police duties more effectively than could new men with higher intelligence" said Dr L. J. O'Rourke, director of research of the U. S. civil ser vice commission, who designed the test. For this reason, it must not be assumed that experienced men on the force should be dropped be- cause their intelligence ratings are somewhat below the entrance re- quirements set up through the test.''
 Raising entrance standards" he continued, twill eliminate some men who would make good police men, it is true. But the main problem is to insure increased ef- ficiency on the force as a wholA"

FULL PARDON IS
 ASKED BY PONZI
His Petition, Signed By Many Citizens-Will Be
 Sent to Governor

Boston, July 11-(UP)-Charles Ponzi, financial wizard" and pa- roled convict, wants a full pardon. And at least 125 Bostonians think Governor Ely should grant him one. Seeking to balk the govern ment's attempt to deport him to his native Italy on grounds of moral turpitude," Ponzi petitioned for the pardon late yesterday. The petition bore 125 signatures which he said he obtained without any trouble" in Boston's market dis trict, where he is $25-a-week meat salesman. If granted, Ponzi believed. the pardon would fose- stall deportation.
 John Pappas. assistant secretary to the governor, announced he would refer the petition to Correc- tion Commissioner Frederick J. Dillon on for investigation and re- port. Tomorrow PonZi plans to sur render to, federal authorities. AS soon as he has done so it will be possible for him to institute habeas corpus proceedings. If these are successful he win be able to remain in this country long enough to carry to the U. S. Supreme Court his fight against deporftation. Be- tween $S,000,000 and $14,000,000 was involved in Ponzi's fantastic "get-rich-quick" scheme of 1920.

Boston Woman Held By City Police As
 Fake Check Passer
Mrs Doris Murphy Passed Worthless $5 Bill in New Haven-POice to Turn Her Over to Elm City Cops;
 Received $35,OOO Settlement Years Ago

America's most attractive flap per" of 1925, who was wooed and won by wealthy Yale freshman, and who received a cash settle ment" of $35,0t0 four years ago, was arrested in Waterbury last evening. A worthless check for $5 in a New Haven department store led to her apprehension and to the resurrection of the details of her romance that was once the prize feature story of papers that reyel in "romances."
 Was Stage Star
 As Doris Connors, an unknown in stage or screen or even beauty, circles she was recognized nine years ago as the most beautiful representative of the so-ca1led fiapper type of American girlhood. The attending publicity led to ad- venture, to love, marriage, hard- ship, divorce and then a career or series of unhappy events.
 AS the idolized flapper she be- came the wife of Austin Enc Cur tiss, member of a wealthy family of Simsbury, so it was revealed by press dispatches to-day. Members
 
 however, failed to share the sons enthusiasm for his blonde sweet heart. He was expelled from both college and from the Curtiss res- idence.
 The young man took both re- verses on the chin and with a smile. He went to work, peddling milk, driving trucks. His family completely disowned him and re- fused to maintain any social con. tacts.
 Austin Divorced Her
 About three years ago Austin became disappointed in his young wife and divorced her. His family then held out the olive branch and the "prodigaP' returned home.
 He is now engaged to a social registrite of Indianapolis, where he has been stationed, lately as a stu dent aviator.
 Mrs Austin received a settlement Of $35,OO0 on relinquisihng the name and starting life again on her own. Apparently that small for tune has vanished.
 Back To N. H. Today
 Last evening the erstwhile Mrs Austin was arrested here under the name of Mrs Doris Murphy, 26, of S49 East Broadway street, South Boston. She was specifically charg- ed with passing a bad check in "a New Haven hotel. She was return ed to New Haven today to face trial.
 The various features of her eventful life were made public as the police of several cities checked up on various reports.

GREAT EXPLORES
 WAS KIDNAPPED

Pieping, China, July 11-OP) - Sven Hedin, world famous Swedish explorer, was in the hands of Turkestan bandits in Hsinkiang Province today along with 10 com panions. Hedin, with four Swed- ish. three Mongolian and three Chinese companions, set out to sur vey the age old silk caravan route which took the products of the Far East to Europe. The Chinese included Dr Parker Chan, an emi- nent Chinese geologist.
 They travelled Tn five motor cars. Near Dungan, in Hsinkiang prov ince, bandits who have been the scourge of Chinese Turkestan, swept down on the little party and captured them.
 It is Hedin's second capture by Brigans. SiXty-nine years old, ab- solutely fearless, he has been ex- ploring for 49 years. He made hls first visit to Turkestan in 1890.
