Police officials wondered today
whether they had been confronted
with new type Of purse-snatcher-

While pondering the question, they
were checking the name and address

colored man dropped last night after
seizing purse containing SAL from
the hands of Elsie Lubore. Is, Of the

LAWS SOUGHT
ON SHIPPING

Disturbed at the continued de-
linquency of the American mer-
chant marine, President Roosevelt
is planning a definite program of
legislation for the next congress to
speed revival of American ship
ping.
Legal experts of the Federal
Maritime Commission are making
a study of the present merchant
marine act, and preparing recon-
mendationS for amendments, to
be laid before Congress, officials
said.
These amendments will increase
the inducement to Shipbuilders
and operators to enlarge their
operations and expand construc-
ton, it was stated. The present
act, the President has told conf
dants, is a step in the right direc-
ton, but he expressed belief that
decided liberalizationS are needed.
Government figures show the
United States is trailing Great
Britain, Germany, Italy, Holland,
France, and even many Of the
minor nations of Europe in mer-
chant marine. The weakness is
particularly evident in the case of
larger vessels, needed for national

HUNTER FACES
Staying TRIAL

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Va, Dec. 22.-The double murder
trial of John Francis Hunter, 40,
of Virginia Highlands, who was
indicted by a grand jury here
more than two years ago for the
Staying of his wife and friend,
will begin February %.
This date was set by Judge
Walter T. Mccarthy at the open
ing day Of the December term Of
Circuit Court here yesterday. Hun
ter's defense will be headed by
M. j. Fulton, Richmond attorney,
who was one of the attorneys for
Edith Maxwell.
After spending more than two
years in the State Hospital for
the Criminally Insane, at Marion,
Hunter was declared to be sane
at this time" and was returned to
Arlington to stand trial.
The indictments charge that on
May Z, 1884, Hunter, who was for
merly a railroad brakeman, shot
and killed his wife, Anne DalmaS
Hunter, and a friend of the
couples, Henry E. Corcoran. He
was indicted by the grand jury
in June of the same year.
DR.. George A. Wright, superin-
tendent of the State institution
where Hunter has spent the last
80 months, recently wrote to Judge
Mccarthy stating that the man
was no longer insane.
The crime, as police reconstruct
it. was that Hunter went to the
Veterans Administration Building
in Washington, where Corcoran
was employed and took the man
to his house for dinner. Shortly
after dinner the man is said to
have become crazed and killed his
wife with a pistol and his friend
with a shotgun. He then turned
the shotgun upon himself and
blew away part of his face.
