the door to Helen Clevenger's room

before her nutllated body was found
threw the mystifying murder case
open to further questions today.
The chart, officers said. disclosed
the door was locked at $40 am. on
July Is, slightly more than seven
hours after the New York University
sophomore was assaulted and shot.
The announcement raised these
points:
II Miss Clevengers room was locked
from the inside, as the chart indi-
Gated, was the murderer in there at
$40?
Was he there from / am, when
several guests at the fashionable hotel
heard woman's agonized scream,
until $40?
Or was the murderer a man whom
bellboy saw scurrying from the mez-
canine to the outside into a thunder
storm at l am?
Did mystery Man" Return?
If this shadowy form, the so-called
mystery man" of the case, was the
murderer, did he return to the girls
room later to destroy clues he left
behind?
The girls uncle, Prof. w. L. Clev-
enger, said at the coroner's inquest
that when he went to his nieces room
at $3.50 am. and found her body the
door was not locked.
The sherif1's Office, to whom the
cfqlne was reported at 10 am, said a
"super-master" pass key was found in
the lock on the outside of the door.
Hotel officials reported there were
only II such keys, issued only to au-
thorized employees; yet Sheriff Lau-
renee E. Brown said a check showed
the key in the girls room made II.
The testimony Of the colored cham

Some Of these, the Secretary said,
had come from relief rolls and were
only on security wage rates in their
present employment. Under such cir
cumstances, he said, he did not believe
it would be feasible to bar them from
the rates the new positions called for,
but that because of the prohibition
on the use Of emergency funds, he
was uncertain as to the course to
follow.
In response, Elliott said:
There appears nothing in the terms
Of the executive order to authorize
holding that the inhibition against the
appointment or transfer to and the
payment Of increased salaries in emer-
gency positions does not apply to pro-
bational appointments made from the
civil service lists"
He added, however, that "the mat

BAHAMAS IN PATH
OF RISING STORM
Disturbance Is Not Expected
to Hit Florida Before
Tomorrow.
Ey the Associated Press.


JACKSONVILLE, Fla, July ga
tropical disturbance of moderate but
mounting intensity moved on the Ba-
hamas today as storm warnings were
ordered from Fort Pierce to Key West
on the Southeastern Florida coast.
The Weather Bureau said the dis
turbance was attended by strong winds
near the center and fresh winds over
considerable area, but added that it
was slowly gaining in intensity.
Center Due This Morning.
1t was expected that the center
would pass over Andres Island in the
Bahamas, which has a population Of
about 1000, some time this morning.
The disturbance was moving in west
northwesterly direction at about 8
miles an hour.
The next II hours will tell just
how intense the storm is to become, "
Meteorologist Grady Norton said. Its
effects will be felt in South Florida in
the afternoon, although the center
still will be far out to sea-
He explained that the first effects
would be fresh winds, and it was cal
culated that at its present slow pace
the center Of the storm could not
reach Florida before tomorrow morn
ing at the soonest.
Although caution was advised ves-
sels In the path Of the winds, few
were reported in the vicinity. Andres
Island Is some 225 miles east-south-
east of Miami.
Disturbance Small.
Gordon E. Dunn, Weather Bureau
meteorologist, said the disturbance
was Of small diameter, which means
that in the event it reaches the coast
the area affected is likely to be small" "
He estimated the strongest winds
near the center did not exceed SO
miles an hour early today.
Another disturbance which formed
in the Gulf of Mexico yesterday
passed inland near New Orleans be-
fore it could gain dangerous intensity.
All storm warnings in that area were
ordered down by sunrise.

DAWES SEES STEEL

by the hSSoClhLSu EASoos
CHICAGO, July 28.-Having seen
his 1884 prediction of business up
swing come true, former Vice President
Charles G. Dawes today envisioned
steel finishing plants Of the United
States running at capacity at the start
Of 1887.
Gen. Dawes declared yesterday that
a tremendous accumulation Of needs
which is being expressed in the cur
rent volume Of business handled by
the steel companies" also would boost
production Of steel ingots to approx
imately IS per cent by January /.
Most recent American Iron and Steel
Institute figures showed ingot produc-
ton at It's per cent.
For weeks business commentators
have been looking for a recession in
the rate of operations of steel plants"
Gen. Dawes said. "As each week goes
by without bearing out their prognosti-
cations, they move the date ahead.
What they forget Is that there Is noth-
ing seasonal about the stored-up de-
mand on the part of the public"

IOWA DEMOCRATS
CLAIM FARMERS
RooseveIt's Chances Held
Better Than $3.50 at
Present in State.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

DES MONIES, Iowa, July 28.-Are
the farmers sticking by Roosevelt?
That's the question over which both
the Republicans and the Democrats
are puzzling their heads. Because what
the farmers do in Iowa, heart of the
great corn belt, is going to settle the
election, so far as this State is con-
cerned, next November. 1t probably
will answer the question for the rest
of the agricultural States.
Although they admit there have
been defections from Roosevelt, the
Democrats here insist that the great
bulk of the farmers who supported
Roosevelt in 1882 will vote for him
again. They point to the prices which
the farmer receives for his produce
now as compared to what he was re-
ceiving in 1882, when Roosevelt was
elected. That, they say, ought to be
enough, unless the farmers have all
gone daffy. They quote the prices Of
corn as 20 cents a bushel in 1892 and
Sc cents today; wheat. 80 cents in
1882 and $104 today: hogs, $3.50 in
1882 and $910 today; beef cattle, $3.50
in 1882 and $3.50 today; sheep. s190
in 1882 and $425 today; eggs, 8.6 cents
in 1882 and 17.9 cents today. In the
faoe-ef the advance in prices. In the
face of the fact that the farmer Is
greatly better off today than at the
close of the Hoover administration,
why. they ask, should the farmer de-
sert Roosevelt and go to Landon, the
Republican candidate?
G. o. p. Answer Is Cited.
The answer given by the Republic
ans may not be logical, but, on the
other hand, it may be correct. That
answer is made up of number Of
items. Some of the Iowa farmers are
sore because they did not grow all
the crops they we're capable Of grow
ing, particularly in the face Of the
probable cut in farm products due to
the drought. They figure they could
have made more money than they will
make, even with the Governments
cash benefit payments under the new
farm relief plan of the administration.
Some of them do not like to be told
what they should or should not grow.
Others regard the curtailment Of crops,

HARRISBURG, Pa, July 2s.-An-
other shrieking crowd of jobless men
and women scrambled into the gal
lerieS of the House and Senate to-
day, bent on the same wild picketing
of the Legislature which delayed ad-
journment of the Senate two hours
in the early morning.
I'VE want $l00,000,000 for relief
and we're here to get it," they shouted
We won't let our kids Starve,

Senators
An hour before the Legislature was
to meet. in new effort to agree on
means of providing SAG, 800 900, mostly
for relief, the galleries were filled.
Food Money Nearly Gone.
Hundreds milled about the marble
rotunda, where they slept last night
on cots, on the floors, on the steps
and in the darkened corridors.
Three women and five children who
slept peacefully during last nights
uproar didn't leave their cots until
long after dawn.
The nearly 1000 marchers who
stayed overnight were told at break
fast that the $4,000 Gov. Earle set
aside to feed them is about gone.
There will be no money for meals
today unless We get more funds, "
Dave LASER, president of the Work
ers' Alliance, announced.
In a wild demonstration that in
cluded hurting of pieces Of wood from
the galleries, crowd of unemployed
men and women blocked for two hours
adjournment of the Senate early
today.
The crowd ripped boards from food
crates, banged on the rails of the GAL
lery, stamped its feet, shrieked, howled
and booed every move the Senate
made.
"Army" Grows to 1000.
The unemployed army" which en-
tered the Capitol a week ago yester-
day, grew into an organization esti-
mated by police at more than 1000
last night.
Refusal of the Democratic House to
bring out bill by Darlington Hopes,
Berks County Socialist, to provide
$100, 900, 900 for relief, brought storm
of protest from the House gallery. The
House quit for the night short time
later amid shrieks of protest.
When the Republican Senate also
tried to adjourn the galleries went
wild.
For two hours numerous efforts by
Clarence Buckman, Bucks County Re-
publican, to bring an adjournment
were howled down.
Pleas Of Lieut.. Gov. Thomas Ken
nedy that the gallery cease its uproar
aroused the visitors further. Legis-
lative machinery stopped. Senators
sat watching the demonstration.
The Senate finally recessed at /
q m, Eastern standard time.
Session Called 13 Weeks Ago.
The special session, summoned 13
weeks ago by Gov. Earle, was unable
at first to agree on the amount to be
for relief. A compro-
mise finally was reached on $45, 5,000,-
900, an exact split between the SEN
ates suggestion of $35, ,000, 900 and the
$55,000,000.
The present snarl arose over the
means of producing the $4,000, 900.
While the two chambers remained at
odds on various measures, the $3,000,-
900 appropriated for relief two weeks
ago was exhausted and relief was cut
of last Tuesday midnight.
