VIENNA. June % O.N.S0-
New letters from Ivan Poderjay
to his blonde French wife, Nine.
Suzanne Ferrand. were discovered
today which definitely link the
1ugoslayian with the disappear
ance Of Miss Agnes Tufverson,
New York lawyer whom he mar
ried last December, the Vienna
police believe.
In one of the letters, written
before Miss Tufverson's disappear.
Rnce, Poderjay said:
"A miracle will happen soon,
making us both rich"
Miss Tufverson had drawn $685.
900 from her New York banking
account before her marriage to
Poderjay, who previously had
welded the Frenchwoman in
London.
Urged to Wed Her
He had conducted an extensive
correspondence with Nine. Fer
rand, while he was in New York,
about his love affair with Miss
Tufverson and had insisted that
he did not want to marry the
American woman, whom he
described as IAN old wagon"
But Nine. Ferrand, the police
announced, wrote Poderjay:
"You marry her. Then II
anything wonderful should hap
pen we have money"
Apparently it was lin reply to
this letter that Poderjay pre-.
dicted that "a miracle will hap
pen soon, making us rich"
Held on Suspicion
The police announced today
that they have concluded their
examination Of Poderjay and
Nine. Ferrand and have sufficient
evidence to detain the pair while
the American authorities seek
further information as a basis for
indictments leading to their ex-
tradition. -.
The Jugoslavian Is held on the
charge Of suspicion Of murder
and Nine. Ferrand is accused OF
suspicion Of having profited by a
murder.
Today, the police escorted the
Frenchwoman to the apartment
she and Poderjay had occupied
and forced her again to don some
of the Women's clothes already
identified as the property OF Miss
TufverSon.
They discovered that only the
finest and most modish of Miss
Tlfverson's apparel had been al
tered to fit Mime. Ferrand.
Protests Innocence
Somewhat less vivacious, but
still protesting lack Of any knowl
edge Of the whereabouts Of Miss
TufverSon, Nine. Ferrand be
Titled the Importance Of the let

'cThat proves nothing. Why
am being held?"

silence that has characterized his
attitude since he was taken into
custody.

FIRST IMPERIAL
 RULER IS NAMED
 FOR MANCHURIA
Harry Pu Vi to Become First Emperor of New
 ManChOukuO

Hsinking, Manchoukua, Feb 28-- (UP)-Military guards were doub- led in the icy streets of Hsinking tonight as plans were completed for the enthronement at dawn to- morrow of Harry Pu Vi, true son of Heaven" as first emperor of Manchoukuo.
 (Hsinking time Is 13 hours ahead of eastern standard time).
 Extraordinary precautions were taken to prevent a-possible attempt at assassination as Pu Vi, last em- peror of ancient China and now, at 28, to be first imperial ruler of Manchouria, prepared to ascenr his throne.
 A temperature of 17 degrees be- low zero did not cool the enthus- iasm of Manchoukuoans as they watched in Shunitien (Light of Heaven) square tonight the gilt tering altar on which slender, spectacled Pu Vi was to touch a scored ancentral seal and swear co Shangti, the supreme being, to up- hold and defend the nation carved by Japan from his old empire.
 When he was years old, Pu VI was taken from his jade bed and
  ma, only to Jose the regal scepter four years later when the nation became a republic.
 At the enthronement the tall, slender youth will wear jet black fox fur robe girdled by an elab crate yellow silk sash embossed with the new emperial crest. His head dress will be the same worn by his imperial ancestors-of dark cloth set off with IS pearls.
 Thus clad and escorted by court dignitaries, Pu Vi, regent of Man chuguo, was to leave his residence and start in solemn march, to the altar of heaven. There, under the guidance of the all supreme Shan ti, "by whose grace kings reign and princes decree justice" the young ruler was to receive the im- perial seal from the hands of a specially selected functionary. When he touched the seal, carved of the finest jade, he was to cast off his begency and become head oi the new dynasty.

|MODERN MARRIAGE
 TREND DESCRIBED
Rev Francis A. O'Brien Continues Lectures at
 St Margaret's Church

Rev Francis A. o'Brien, mis- sionary Oblate of Mary, delivered the third in a series of Lenten ser mons at St Margaret's church last night. Father O'Brien is speaking each Tuesday night during Lent, all the sermons in the group re- lating to marriage. Last nights topic was Fires Aglow".
 In his sermons Father O'Brien Is discussing the modern trend of marriages. He spoke last night on the sanctity of marriage VOWS, the real significance of matrimony as a sacrament instituted by God and upheld by the church. and then contrasted the modern idea of marriage which is regarded not as something holy by the world in general. He explained that Christ instituted the sacrament of matri- mony and that the Catholic church recognized no civil ceremony.
 Next week Father O'Brien's sub- feet will be Dying Embers". The sermons at St Margaret's during Lent are preceded by the ricita- ton of the rosary and followed by benediction of the blessed aacra- ment.

20. FIXTURES TO
 BE SET UP SOON
Installation of Lighting Equipment May Be Fin-
 ished By Easter

The long-delayed installation of lighting fixtures in the local post office may be completed by Easter if the present schedule is followed. A representative of the company which has the contract has assured Postmaster James T. Kelley that the work of placing the fixtures will be begun in few weeks.
 For months the postmaster ex- changed letters with the depart ment at Washington, endeavoring to have the lights installed. Finally the contract was awarded, early in December, to the United States Bronze company of Baltimore.
 The contract called for installa- ton in 60 days, but that limit ex- pired early this month, but still there were no lights. However, the company has assured MT Kelley that the fixtures will soon be in place.
 The missing fixtures will be in stalled in the lobby, the vestibule and the postmaster's office and will remedy the present unsightly ap- pearance of the temporary lights.

iBy United Prcssl

Washington, Feb. 2S -UP)- Leaks sometimes occur in the sem ate and the house. Their nature is varied and positive proof of such happenings often cannot be had, to an immediate conclusion.
 For instance, take the time when four quarts of apparent whiskey. seals intact, were placed on Q table in the pit of the house. That was the setting for a 45-minute speech by Rep. William M. Berlin, dem., Pa., on the high cost of liquor.
 Placards with big black figures showed the cost of each bottle as Berlin prepared to deliver his ti- rade against the ''whiskey trust"
 "How about sampling it?" shouted members from both sides of the house.
 ''Gt is legalized robbery" Berlin said, "just as bad as shooting up a man with gun, to charge such prices"
 At last the speech was finished. A page removed the bottles from the table, placed them in box and carried 1t to the rear of the chamber. As he neared the door a group of congressman assembled.
 Two in the crowd appropriated bottle each and marched proud ly into the democratic cloakroom. r The ultimate destination of the two bottles was not learned off, cially, but Berlin, knowing his col leagues, said they contained tea.
 Over on the senate side of the Capitol was leak of a different nature. A real leak, but not the kind through which important bits of confidential information might seep.
 ' A hurried investigation revealed two buckets in the tourists gal lery. Water was dropping through there from an accumulation of snow piled up on the roof by the recent storms.
 The AAA hasn't forgotten the farm children and has taken pre- caution that the New Deal doesn't keep them from getting gift pigs from father.
 The common practice." the AAA says, ''of giving ownership and responsibility of. pigs to chil- dren does not require that the pro- ducer subtract the pig from the filters on which aro government bases benefit payments"
 The wordy decision, when con densed, simply means that q far mer won't lose any money by giv- ing his son pig.
