HIGH SPEEDS HURT
 NEW AUTO TIRES
Quicker Pick-ups and Bet ter Braking Use COn-
 siderable Rubber

New York, (UP) = Increased 1 average and top speeds of auto- mobiles. quicker pick-ups and bet ter braking, with more abrupt stops, typical of to-day's congested traffic situation, are wearing out tires faster tha never before, ac- cording to Dr R. A. Mover of Iowa State colleger. Gravel and cinder roads as well as asphalt and concrete roads, with fine "sandpaper" finish, as contrasted with road surfaces of coarse textured asphalt was found to Dr Mover to present the great est mechanical resistance to skid ding and therefore, to be hardest on tires. Topography is shown to play big part in the wear, Ex- perts of a large tire company show by tests just completed that mos torists in cities located in hilly areas get only a fraction ot fhc mileage obtained by other motor- ists.
 High speeds wear tires out much faster than low speeds ex- perts of one tire company found. At 50 miles per hour in dry hot weather tires wear out just twice as fast as they would at 35 miles per hour. Increased acceleration removes from per cent to 10 per cent of the mileage from tires. Skidding. which highway reports show to be rapidly increasing, :s death to tire life. A 10 foot skid on a dry pavement removes many miles from tire, experts assert who have discovered a 200 foot slide on a gritty road to remove two-thirds of the tire thread.
 The effect of individual driving habits on tire wear were shown by test conducted in Bosotn in which tn eaverage mileage before tires became bald was found to be 14,356 miles. However, 20 per cent of the motorists observed made less than 11,000 miles and another 20 per cent more than 1S,000 miles.

FRENCH REVOLT
TROTzKY COAL,
PAPER CLAIMS
ExiIed Russian Ready to
Lead Instruction,
Is Report.
Bv United Press

By United Press
PARIS, April ia charge that
Leon Trotzky was prepared at any
moment during the fatal riots of
Feb. 6 to speed to Paris and lead a
revolution was published today by
the newspaper LIE Journal.
AS the eXiled Russian leader, or
dered to leave the country, sought
refuge abroad and was prepared
to make dash through the country
in a motor car that waited in the
garden of his Barbizon villa, lie
Journal and other newspapers aug
mented reports of the secret police
with lurid details of Trotzky's al
legged political activities.
Regarding the February riots, lie
Journal said that during all the dis
order, which brought 10000 troops
to the city to reinforce police and
Republican guards, Trotzky was
kept advised of developments by
couriers using motor cars and mo-
torcycles.
1t charged further that during
the Communist demonstrations of
Feb. II, in which three persons we're
killed in the Place de la Nation, agi-
tators purporting to represent
Trotzky circulated through the
demonstrants, urging an armed up
rising.
Though secret police said they be-
lieved that the Fourth Interna-
tionale" which Trotzke was forming
was largely in the formative stage,
European governments seemed to
fear it, and were reluctant to give
the eXiled Communist shelter.
1t was understood that Trotzky
would prefer to reside in Europe,
but, failing that he would try to go
to North or South America.
Asked if he thought the United
States might let him in, a member
of his household said to the United
Press:
why not? The United States
has changed its opinion toward the
social revolution. Look at President
RooSevelt's program. 1t is even more
socialiStic than Stains. Look how
Washington let Emma Goldman re-
turn and run freely"

PR0WLER is
HUNTED FOR
MURDER QUIZ
Police Trail Down New CIeW
in Battling Death of
Callahan.

A prowler who work with
woman clothed in light garments
was sought by the police today as
detectives Of the homicide squad
followed clew in the battling slay-
ing Of Bert Callahan, wealthy
bachelor and real estate man.
Police received a call from Earl
Teare, 2906 Station street, early
today that the mysterious prowler
had been seen with his woman COM
panion several times in the neigh
borhood, last night and early today.
The pair was reported to be driv-
ing a tan roadster equipped with
a short wave radio receiving set to
receive police calls.
In the murder of Mr.. Callahan
two weeks ago at 1886 North Illinois
street, Lieutenant Chester Butler
OF the state police told local detec-
tives that a woman in white" had
knocked at the door of the real es-
tate mans apartment several hours
before he was found shot in his
extensively furnished living room.
Investigation of a large aban-
doned sedan found near the scene
OF the Staying of Mr.. Callahan was
also being made by the police to-
day.
The car, Hupmobile sedan bear
ing Ohio license plates, was found
late yesterday at Seventeenth street
and Pierson avenue, less than
block from Mr.. Callanan's home.
Detectives were working on the
theory that the car may have been
abandoned by the murderers OF the
bachelor.
Police thought the car may have
been stored temporarily in one of
the numerous garages in the neigh
borhood and later pushed into the
street for lack of rent. A check of
the neighborhood garages failed to
help the police establish this theory.
Chief Mike Morrissey yesterday
ordered all detectives who operate
in the downtown area to be on the
watch for a band of alleged black
mailers who operate in the vicinity
CT the larger hotels.
Information came to Chief Nor
risSey yesterday that a group of men.
who some times dress as women, to
lure victims in a blackmail trap,
may have been responsible for the
death of Mr.. Callahan.
Fred Simon, chief of detectives.
was inclined to scott at reports that
Mr.. Callahan was the victim of
"shakedown artists" declaring that
the motive in the murder of the
kindly but eccentric bachelor was
robbery.

Theodore Roosevelt, distant cousin

as militaristic, PruSSian machine,
bullying. corrupt and inefficient as
he led New York Republicans today

The picture of one Roosevelt as

Colonel Roosevelt last night became
head of the National Republican

executive by name but frequently
spoke of The President" as he
sounded one of the most caustic
criticisms of the administration
ever heard here.
Colonel Roosevelt denounced re-
covery efforts. He saw in them evils
potentially wrecking the Constitu-
