Relief Officials File Report on
Conditions With Health
Office.

Relief officials have filed with the
District Health ONCE list of l,274
houses where relief families are quar-
tered and there is a lack of sani-
tary facilities or where conditions are
insanitary, Elwood Street. director OF
public welfare, reported today.
DR.. William C. Fowler, health OIL
Ger, said conditions complained of
were not subject to Health Depart
ment action.
DR.. Fowler revealed that he had
placed the evidence from the relief Of
ficials in the hands of Chief Sanitary
Inspector J. F. Butts for action. Butts
said several of his inspectors each
day had been investigating complaints.
and estimated that at least Is per
cent of the cases were found not to
warrant action by the Health Depart
ment. He said there were cases where
owners of the property were given no.
tice to fix plumbing or make other re-
pairs where health regulations were
involved. He said other notices had
been sent to the fire marshal. the
treet-cleaning division and the build
ing inspectors for their attention.
DR.. Fowler said with some asperity,
many of the residences were said to
be in need of painting, and the Health
Department has no power to enforce
an order to paint building"

He has been living at the Cam
bridge Y. M. c. A. since last Friday
and Officers Raymond E. Patten and
James D. Russell of the Cambridge
Police were sent to his rooms. They
reported they found an empty vial
from which about two ounces of
liquid had been taken. The vial was
taken to the Relief Hospital for
inspection.
Dr.. Peter Cernada Of the Relief
Hospital staff said the poison de-
scribed by Bauer would have the
effect of turning the stomach into a
jelly-hke substance. He added there
was little he could do.
Bauer went to the hospital last
night at the request of friend,
Carlos Odriozola, a Harvard student.
He had told Odriozola what he had
done and was finally persuaded to 60
to the hospital.
He slept fitfully for time during
the early morning, constantly smoking
while awake and Gliding physicians
over their efforts to rid him Of the
poison.
He refused to say why he wanted
to die and asked only that his parents,
whose names he failed to give, be
notified.

Alexander Troyanovsky. the Soviet
Ambassador, informed Secretary Hull
today he will return to Moscow Octo-
Der to consult with the foreign office

Assistant Secretary Moore at the State
Department.
William C. Bullitt. the American
Ambassador at Moscow, already has
disclosed plans for returning to the

Months in Progress.
Negotiations for a settlement OF
debts and claims totaling more than
$500 900 900 have been in progress in
Moscow and Washington for seven

the Moscow discussions between Bullitt

ago the negotia tons were transferred
to Washington.
Difficulties Encountered.
The Washington negotiations have
several times approached a stalemate

POLICE BAFFLED
IN TRUNK MURDER
Trap Drummer and Wife Are
Sought in Staying of
Lillian GaIIaher.
BY the Associated Press.


DETROIT, September 27-Search
for M. w. Goodrich, 26-year-old trap
drummer, and his attractive red
haired wife in whose apartment the
body of Lillian Gallaher was found,
centered in Detroit today when police
learned the couple had been seen here
as recently as Tuesday.
Until that information came early
today from acquaintance of the cou-
pie, there had been a growing belief
the Goodriches had fed the city long
before the body of the 11-year-old
schoolgirl, beaten. strangled and GRIM
inally assaulted, was found yesterday
trussed up in a trunk.
Sold Punchboard Chances.
Lillian. described as a tinid child,
apparently had spent all of last
Thursday afternoon in futile at
tempt to sell chances on punchboard
as a benefit for her school before she
called at the apartment in Warren
avenue, just off woodward avenue.
Another tenant in the building,
Miss Gertrude Berg. has told police
that she saw Lillian knock at the
door of the Goodrich apartment and
enter when a man opened the door.
What happened from that moment
until her body was found six days
later-on her eleventh birthday
could only be conjectured.
Police said they were convinced
that the child was the victim of a
degenerate who derived delight from
the torture of girl victims.
Acquaintances of the couple de-
scribed Mrs. Goodrich as attractive,
with a pleasing personality, and as
serted she could not have known OF
what happened in her apartment,
The theory even was expressed in
some quarters that she also might
have been slain. if she knew of it.
Police Disregard Fear.
James E. McCarty. deputy super
intendent of police, however. said no
such fear was felt by the police.
The story of Miss Berg, whose
apartment is across the hall from
that occupied by Goodrich, indicated
that there we're two men in the
apartment when Lillian entered, but
police we're inclined to believe that
she was mistaken.
Wayne Schick, 20, who played the
piano in Goodrich's three-piece Or
cheStra, was detained as a witness,
but police said it had been estab-
lished that his last visit to the apart
ment with Goodrich was on Wednes-
day of last week.

Litvinoff. her commissar for foreign
affairs, told the assembly OF the
League of Nations today.
Litvinoff took the rostrum to dis
cuss his surprise resolution yester-
day asking the League Council to
secure a report on whether the world
disarmament conference could be
resumed with a possibility of success.
In resonant English Litvinoff, whose
country was admitted to the League
only last week, announced he had not
abandoned the idea of a permanent
conference devoted to the consolida-
ton of peace movements-a proposal
which was not accepted by League
leaders earlier in the year.
Il feel confident the plan can sue
coed and the idea is gaining ground"
Litvinoff said. There is still out
side the League one great country
whose cooperation we highly value
and we must establish a common
ground for this collaboration. he
asserted, alluding to the United
States.
