CUMMINGS ACTS
IN AGENTS DEATHS
Orders Concentration ot
0fficers-May Increase
Federal Reward.

Referring to the killing by Baby
Face" Nelson of Inspector Samuel P
Cowley and Special Agent Herman
Hollis as another illustration of the
ruthless challenge of the underworld
with which our people are confront
ed" Attorney General Cummings to-
day ordered the concentration of Fed
eral law officers in a relentless hunt
for the slayer of three Government
men. Nelson already was wanted for
the killing of Agent w. Carter Baum
when he turned a machine gun on
Cowley and Hollis in Chicago yester-
day.
J. Edgar Hoover, director OF the
Justice Department. Division of In
vestigation spent more than an hour
in conference with Cummings and his
assistant, William Stanley, today to
map plans for the intensified drive to
get Nelson
CIegg Takes Command.
Director Hoover. meanwhile, had
dispatched his assistant, Inspector
Hugh H. Clegg, 10 take over COM
mand of the hunt for the Dillinger
gang machine gunner. Cowley was
in command of the search when he
met his death.
Il am grieved beyond words by the
death Of these brave men. Cowley and
Hollis, who lost their lives in the
courageous performance of their Off
cial duty" Cummings said after his
conference with Hoover.
Cummings said that the situation
with regard to the hunt for Nelson
was in such a critical stage today that
he could not discuss details Of the
events that led up to the fatal gun
battle on the streets of a Chicago
suburb.
Telegraphs Widows.
Cummings dispatched kilograms of
coincidence to the widows of both slain
agents and to the father of Cowley
in the West.
Clegg is attached to headquarters of
Hoover's division here, but, like Cow
ley has spent much time in the field
during the last year or so in command
Of special inveStigatiVe squads. Clegg
was Hoover's representative in New
York during the investigation which
led to the arrest of Bruno Richard
Hauptmann in connection with the
Lindbergh kidnapping.
When the department completed its
work in the Lindbergh case, Clegg
proceeded to Nashville, Tenn, to
supervise investigation there of clues
which linked Thomas H. Robinson, jr..
IN the kidpQ ming Of Mrs ParrU " CfOll
at Louisville, KY.
May Increase Reward.
Clegg also played an important
supervisory part in the hunt for John
Dillinger, Pretty Boy" Floyd and
other notorious gangsters.
There was a possibility that Cum
mings would increase the amount of
the Federal reward offered for the cap
ture or information leading to the
capture OF Nelson. At present the
Government is offering $4,000 for the
capture of Baby Face" and $4,000
for information leading to his cap
ture. This reward was announced
following the killing of Special Agent
Baum at the Little Bohemia Inn in
Northern Wisconsin. At that time
$4,000 was posted for the capture of
Dillinger and $4,000 for information
leading to his capture. Only $1,000,
however, has been paid out of these
rewards-s2.50 500 each to two East
Chicago, Ind, police officers who gave
information which put Dillinger ION
the spot"

as the two men in the Federal car
got out.
Cars Used as Shields.
"All four men were using automo-
biles as shields at first One of the
agents (Cowley) fell over backwards
into the ditch. The other darted
across the road behind a telephone
pole. He dropped few minutes later"
Another witness. Robert Hayford Of
Darlington. a park employe, said that
one of the gangsters, apparently
Nelson's companion, was wounded in
the leg and was able to get on his
feet only with great difficulty after the
Federal agents had ceased firing.

The defense at the trial of Bruno

whether the body identified as
that of Charles A. Lindbergh, jr.,
actually was that of the kidnapped
infant. the Evening Journal said
it has learned today.
Edward ]. Reilly, chief counsel
for Hauptmann, the Journal said,
will demand strong evidence that
the skeleton found near the Hope
well, N. j., home of the Lindb-
erghs, was that of their child.
Identification of the body was
made by Colonel Lindbergh and
Betty Cow. the baby's nurse.
Mr.. Reilly's plan, the Journal
said. is somehow affected by a

circumventing any possible at
tempt by District officials to
blockade the private road that
previously led patrons from East
ern Avenue. in the District, to
"Jimmy's" Maryland refuge.
The legality of such a blockade
was questioned today by Commis-
Sioner c.. Hazen, who commented: {:
Jimmy probably will cut a
new road through to Bladens-
burg Road, keeping his whole
establishment, even to en-
frances, in Maryland. He'd be
a fool if he didn't. All we want
to do is to push the whole thing
into Maryland, where the re-
sponsibility belongs"
Maryland, however, apparently
takes that responsibility lightly.
Gov. Elect Harry W. Nice once
was quoted as promising an in
vestigation, but nothing more has
been said in that direction.
Gambling Questioned
Prosecutor Allen Bowie, of
Prince Georges county declared
last night he was not prepared
to announce any action against
the place and County Police j.
J. Crowley today even demanded
proof that gambling took place
in the one-time "gentlemans
estate" He demanded of a
reporter:
do you know anything about
gambling there? We don't. If
someone produces a warrant,
we'll serve it,"
It was announced at the
District Building today that work
men would start Immediately on
the grading of the new extension
for Eastern Avenue, which was
to divert that thoroughfare
through the middle of the grounds
surrounding "Jimmy's" place, fol
lowing the District line.
This grading would, for time
at least, disrupt the smooth flow
of patrons machines over
"Jimmy's" private road. but Com
missioner Hazen said he doubted
if any attempt could be made per
manently to block it.
Three Policemen Watch
Meanwhile, while no police had
been assigned there officially,
three policemen of the Twelfth
precinct were at the scene today
remaining on the District side of
the line, watching operations on
the Maryland side and question.

That Washington does not in,

The firemen finally staggered

An SOS radio call was sent

A sister ship, the Tuscan, was
called and stood by as the Ontario
started back to Boston.
The crew first fought the blaze
with hose lines pumping tons of
water into the afterhold where
the fire had consumed several
hundred bales of wool. When the
ship began to list badly, the crew
resorted to live steam as the race
for port continued.
Two fireboats, waiting at the

The fifth section of the bill

Explaining the effect of the
proposed measure, the conference
committee said today:
Adoption of this measure
would mean, in very large de-

and it would solve many of the
problems now confronting Gov

"The pay-reStOrat ton problem,
the restrictions on promotions,

the classification act have
wrought considerable hardships
and it is felt that conditions now
require their complete elimina-
