T OUISVILLE, KY, April 18.-
With little more than two
weeks remaining before
- the running of the six
tieth lucky Derby at
Churchill Downs, nine thor
oughbred owners have nominees
conceded the best chances to win
the $4,000 added stake May 5.
The constantly shifting Derby odds
indicate that turf owners with the
strongest nominees are A. B. Gordon
with Sir Thomas. Charles T. Fisher
with Mata Hari, Norman w. Church
with Riskulus, Mrs. John Hay Whit
ney with Singing Wood and Mrs. l.
d. Sloane with Cavalcade and Time
Clock
Slightly less favored in the public
eye are the chances OF Col. E. r.
Bradley with Bazaar and Bakers
Dozen, Alfred G. Vanderbilt with
Discovery. Mrs. Payne Whitney with
Black Buddy and John Simoneti with
Sergt Byrne.
The list of 10 favored owners, COM
piled 10 days ago, was cut to the
present nine with declaration that
George D. Widener's nominees, Chic
straw. Kawagoe and Jack Low, would
not start in the Derby.
One OF the better grade of Derby
dark horses, Mrs. Louise j. Hickman's
Dusty Dawn, has been withdrawn
from training and will not start in
the historic classic. This brings the
list of almost certain on-starters to
approximately a dozen. though every
one of the l24 nominees remain ell
gible until entries are made the day
before the race.

Child MURDER
SOLVED TODAY
Man Said to Confess Four
Year Old Indiana
Crime in Memphis

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept. 28.-
(UP).-The mysterious assault
and Staying of pretty eight-year-
old Marverine Appel in a dark
South Bend, Ind, alley four years
ago was solved today with the
confession of Marvin Day, 20, of
South Bend.
Young Day, held here since last
Tuesday night, confessed after
more than 4S hours of question
ing, police announced. He told
details of the Staying in a written
statement to Memphis, South
Bend, and jefferson City, Mo-,
officers.
He said he met the girl in a
South Bend park in August, 1880,
and persuaded her to go walking,
and then into an alley with him.
Fear overcame him, he said, af-
ter he had harmed the child and
he struck her with his fist and
knocked her down.
while she was lying on the
ground" he continued, 81 picked
up a piece of wire lying on the
ground and fastened it around
her neck. 1 frightened the wire
around her neck and took her
into a barn nearby. / laid her on
some hay and then climbed out Of
the barn."
The youth said he then re-
turned to the park, told a boy
friend, and asked him if he want
ed to see her. The boys friend
picked up the girls body and
he led the way out of the barn
for him, Day related. They saw
an automobile when they reached
the alley, Day said, and dropped
the body and ran.

BRITISH arms
QUIZ LOOMING
Pleas for One, or at Least
Pointed Questions
Anticipated

| LONDON. Sept. 2S.-(UP)-
Political observers believe that
the revelations in Washington re-
garding the traffic in arms will
give rise to a strong parliamentary
demand for a parallel investiga.
ton of British companies when
the House of Commons meets O.
tober 20.
In any case, a number of point
ed questions, chiefly by labor and
liberal members. will be asked,
and if the Washington disclosures
continue to cast reflections upon
the sales methods of British COM
panles, pressure upon the govern
ment to hold an inquiry will be,
it is predicted, irresistible.
But this raises the embarrass-
ing question whether the books
and private correspondence of the
British munitions companies are
to be dragged into public view in
the same pitiless way they have
been exposed in Washington. Or
dinarily, British parliamentary
practice is to close the doors upon
the press and public whenever
private correspondence is offered
in evidence or the disclosure of
legitimate business secrets seems
imminent. 1t is an old-established
rule and there will be strenuous
opposition to breaking it on this
occasion.
The weekly spectator touches
this oblquely in a vigorous de-
fence of the United States senate
committee: "The senate commit
tee is perfectly right in refusing
to hold its hearings in private.
Such a procedure would, apart
from other considerations, defeat
it's own object. There is no pri-
vacy in the United States, and not
much anywhere else in these days.
Allegations, true or false, made
before the committee are at any
rate set down in black and white.
eff they were made behind clos
ed doors they would get into print
in any kind of distorted or exag-
gerated form -. An inquiry no
less searching than that in prog
ress in Washington must be insti-
tuted here, for British firms are
heavily involved in the Washing
ton proceedings, and representa-
tives of the Drigg company and
the American Armament corpora
ton have passed severe structures
on British firms methods.
"And the managing director of
Vickers-Armstrong does not ap-
pear yet to have explained ade-
quately the letter in which he is
said to have observed that my
friend at the admiralty will help
US to get certain orders"
Sir Walter Layton's journal,
The Economist, also insists that
"the state of affairs revealed by
the evidence is so alarming, and
the threads leading to this side OF
the Atlantic so numerous, that
there is very strong case for a
parallel inquiry, with similar pow
ers of compelling evidence, in
Great Britain"
The Sunday Observer, though
impatient with some of the SEN
sational aspects of the Washing
ton hearings, also endorses the
idea:
"a senate inquiry in America
often provides fine confused
feeding for scandal, but some OF
the statements elected upon the
ornaments trade are explicit
enough to ensure investigation in
this country"
