MEXIA, Tex. May 26-Six men
were held for questioning today into
the death Of John L. Adams, so, a
dairyman. believed by officers to have
been slain by kidnapers who had mis-
taken him for a wealthy neighbor
Sheriff Will Adams and Red Burton.
a former Texas Ranger, said one of
the six suspects had failed to give
satisfactory answers concerning his
activities the night before Adams was
killed and his body thrown in a water
tank a mile from his home near Groes-
beck, Tex.
Belief that Adams was slain by
kidnapers was based on a sardonic
note received by Dwaine Adams, son
of the slain man. 1t said:
Your old man is safe-eXcuse US,
we got the wrong man"
Oficers believe the dairyman was
mistaken for wealthy neighbor, Joe
Morris, and that he was slain to erase
the identity of his captors.
Adams body was found yesterday.
He had been shot in the head. There
was gag in his mouth and a belt
drawn tightly about his throat.

Instead, it was implied by some

empire now is willing to forego parity
claims provided Japan is given a
higher ratio and theoretical equality.
Toxic leaders have repeatedly en-
phasized their determination to op-
pose maintenance of the present 5-5-3

The Senate Labor Committee met
to act on the bill and Chairman
Walsh predicted the committee would
vote it out today. He said he expect
ed the Senate would pass it this ses-
sion, question on which there has
been much doubt.
President Roosevelt, calling the bill

In its original form, the measure

LAST Of 4 AIDES
TOJOHNSON QUITS
N. r. A. Head Responds to
Nye, Giving All Others
Chance to Leave.
BY the Associated Press.

The last of Hugh S. Johnson's
original four chief deputies will leave
NJ r. A. at the end Of the month.
and the administrator has informed
his aides that any one dissatisfied
was free to leave at once.
He issued a memorandum to this
effect yesterday in response to the
assertion of Senator Nye. Republican,
of North Dakota. in the Senate re-
Gently that many N. R. A. officials
were waiting only to the end Of Con-
gress to quit.
The retirement Of Kenneth M.
Simpson, division administrator who
months ago with three others was
selected to command big groups Of
deputies. was attributed to Simpsons
desire to get back to his private en-
gineering practice after q year Of
public service.
Codes Near Settlement.
Most codes in his division-mining
steel and other metals, automobiles
and related products. utilities-either
are settled or probably will be in the
near future.
There was evidence OF an inten-
ton by the administration to solve
the telegraph communications code
problem by scrapping all fair practice
provisions and, either voluntarily or
by imposition. writing a labor code
to cover the industry.
The steel code will be revised by
May 81. The electric utility code
and that for natural gas companies
probably will be ready for approval
almost as soon. Disposal of the
telephone codes. simple labor pacts,
probably will take longer, and the
manufactured gas industry apparently
is not near agreement.
The anthracite industry may do
without a code because of difficult
the prevailing wage rates for its
workers.
Three Others Left.
Simpson, a mining engineer, was
put in control of his important di-
vision at the same time that Arthur
D. Whiteside, president of Dun &
Bradstleet; Malcolm Muir of Nc
Graw-Hill Publications. and Brig.
General c. C. Williams. retired, were
given the other groups. The three
others went months ago together with
many subordinates.
johnson told reporters he expected
considerable reduction in personnel
before long. in shaking down the ad-
ministration to its code-supervision
work from the code-making phase.
His memorandum to officials said
he challenged the accuracy Of Nye's
statement, but that If anyone wanted

ance" as waiting till Congress left,
and that designations would be ac-
cepted with sincere good wishes and

POLICE MyST|F|ED
BY SHEADS KILLING.
No Reliable Clues Found in
Murder of Retired
Teacher.

Although working industriously on
every lead that seemed the least
promising, police today appeared still
as far from a solution OF the mystery
OF the murder of Miss Mary Z Sheads
in her fifth floor apartment at the
Balfour Thursday night as they were
when they first went to work on
the case.
Chief Of Detectives F. s. w Burke
said this morning that the Detective
Bureau hasn't got a thing in the
way OF a reliable clue concerning
the slayer Of the 65-year-old retired
teacher.
Late yesterday the alarm that a
colored burglar was seen on the roof
Of a garage adjoining the apartment
at 2400 Sixteenth street led detectives
to believe this man might be the
same as the one who entered the
Shesds apartment at 1000 Sixteenth
street by raising a screen on the bed
room window Thursday.
Thefts Reported Nearby.
Later, John Milton Petit reported
the theft of a suit, shirts and trinkets
from his apartment at 2400 Sixteenth
street.
Descriptions given of the colored
man seen on the garage roof, how
ever, do not tally with those Of the
colored man wanted for the robbery
of a watch on April 7, who is being
sought for questioning in connection
with the SheadS murder.
The report of the micro-analySis
on the substance found beneath Miss
Sheads' fingernails, believed to be the
blood of her asSailant, will not be
ready until late today or tomorrow.
Now Seek Burglars.
On the theory that Miss Sheads was
murdered by burglar who was afraid
to steal anything which might later
be found on him and so connect him
with the killing, detectives now are
seeking anybody who committed a
burglary recently, particularly any
body who made his entry by opening
a window screen.
There have been two such cases re-
Gently which are of particular interest

colored man, and in one he stole a
