Glue Hints F e n d
Killing; All Three
StrangIed

PITT SBURG June 10
UN.S).-Discovery of we'll
defined mans thumb print on a
death hammer today injected the
possibility OF murder into one of
the city's weirdest mysteries-the
Staying of a mother and her two
small children.
The thumb print was found on
a claw hammer used to twist
tourniquet about the throat of
Mrs. Eleanor FeelY young wife
of University of Pittsburgh
physical education professor. The
mark was that of a mans right
thumb.
Mrs. Feely, the wife of Martin
J. Feely, the Pitt professor, was
found strangled along with her
two small children, Bobby, 5, and
Janice, 3. in separate rooms IN
their home. All bore marks on
the left temple apparently IN
flicted by an ice pick found near
Mrs. Feely'S body.
Wounded by Pick
Strangulation caused the death
of Mrs. Feely and her two chill
dren the coroner'S autopsy
showed. The autopsy also revealed
that an ice pick wound had al
most penetrated the woman's
heart and that the son, Bobby,
had been struck on the head with
a hammer before being strangled.
Meanwhile, Mayor William N.
McNair who surveyed the mas
Sacre scene, discovered another
clue. He learned that telegraph
messenger had inquired for the
FeeleyS, natives of Springfield,
Mass, last Wednesday night. He
ordered an immediate inveStiga-
tion.
Homicide detectives were at first
inclined to believe the SlayingS were
murder and suicide. But Deputy
Coroner John A. ArtZ, supported
by friends of the young couple who
knew them as devoted husband
and wife greatly interested in their
two children, declared it was mass
murder. ArtZ said:

move in sending out religious and
political belief questionnaires to
District school teachers. Repre-
sentative Thomas L. Blanton Cd
of Texas, fiery chairman of the
House District appropriations sub
committee, was expected today to
answer his critics on the floor Of
the House.
Representative Kent Keller CD

have a resolution cenSuring the

this was killed on point of Or

of the Capitol, Mr.. Blanton re-

Senator Bennett Clark CD Of
Missouri, who compared his ca

of such dictators as Stain, Hitler
and MuSSolini.
Parents Back Teachers
On the other front, at the
special meeting of the Board Of
Education, the right of Mr.. Blan.
ton to send out the queStionnaireS
to the teachers was denied in a
resolution adopted by the board
and teachers were instructed to
ignore the inquiries. Representa-

board meeting, which was packed

RAISE ASKED
IN TRANSIT
C0.FARES
P. u. c. Asked to OK.
Higher Charges on
Street Cars, Buses

Petition for a raise in fares
charged on street cars and busses
Of the Capital Transit Company
was filed with the Public Utilities
Commission today by E. D. Mer-
rill, vice president and general
manager of the company.
The petition asked that the com.
mission fix a uniform fare of 10
cents cash per passenger. with
tokens SOLD at the rate of 9 l-3
cents each, and a uniform rate of
$1.25 for passes, which would be
good on all street Car and bus
lines. The company also asked
that universal transfers be per-
mitted with the increased rates
and that on the Short,ride Chevy
Chase. Bureau of Standards and
Bureau of Engraving and Printing
loop lines the scent fare be con-
tinued and the extra fare allowed
on the Chevy Chase coach and
Hains Point lines.
September Hearing
Chairman Riley E. Elgen, of the
commission, said it would not be
possible to hold a hearing on the
petition until mid-September. He
said he had conferred with AS
Sistant Corporation Counsel Hin
man D. Folsom, attorney for the
commission, and had concluded
that because of the Importance of
the petition, the preparation neces.
Sary for it, the hearing could not
be held sooner. He added:
"Any order which the commits
sion may issue on this petition
would have to be sufficient to
be established in a court"
In the petition, the company re.
viewed the history of the fares
charged on street cars and buSSes
since the District Supreme Court
decree in 1890. The company
pointed out that the existing pass
rates of 81 on street cars and $1.25
on bus lines were fixed voluntarily
and proved a benefit to the local
riding public.
Revenues Decrease
The petition also pointed out
that revenues of the company
which include the recently merged
Washington Rapid Transit Com
pany, have decreased considerably
compared with the increase in op-
Grating costs.
Operating costs in the past three
years have increased 81 1881 900 per
year, the petition said, through in
creased wages, larger personnel,
maintenance and track repair.
The maintenance and repair
items, the petition listed, included
the rerouting program now in pro.
greSS and estimated that between
December 81, 1888 and April 80,
1885 total of $5,575, ,223 had been
spent.

mark a radical departure from the

THE TREATMENT OF HERNIA

A hernia, commonly called a
rupture, is the protrusion Of an or
gan or part of an organ, such as
the intestine, through the wall of
a cavity normally containing the
structure. This condition inter-
feres with the function of the or
gan involved. When the intestine
is thus interfered with, unless re-
lief is obtained serious results will
supervene because the intestinal
contents cannot move progressively
or because the blood supply of the
intestine will be shut off by the
construction. Most cases Of intes-
final obstruction are due to hernia
ton.
In most cases, at first, the struc-
ture can be pushed back each time
that it comes out. Again truss
can be worn which will hold the
structure up. The condition usual
ly gets worse as time passes.
To obtain complete relief, some
type Of operation has been used
for many years. Even then there
was a small percentage of recur-
rences. Within the last few years,
however, there has been developed
a non-operative treatment which
bids fair to replace operation on
all uncomplicated, small hernias.
The treatment is so simple that
neglect due to fear of operation
is unnecessary.
This method is known as the in
lection treatment for celebrating
the weakened spot allowing herni-
alton. AS the name implies, So
luton of medicine is injected with
needle into the tissues at the
site Of the trouble. This is a
sclerosing solution and causes the

HERE and

Now that the political future of
these United States has been de-
termined by this weeks election, it
will be in order for us to settle
down, forget any differences en-
gendered in the course of bitterly
fought campaign and lend our
selves and our influence to a build
ing up of a united people.
It would be, I believe, wise for
my people to realize that the real
detectives we seek will not be
reached through the results of this
election even though we have the
happy satisfaction of knowing that
we have been recorded on the side
of the winners. They will come
rather from a careful analysis of
the things we have listened to dur
ing the course of the campaign
insofar as they affect our future
course and lead to definite line of
thought and action.
One of the most significant of
these was the four sided discus
sion at a public forum I attended,
carried out by four young men of
the group, each of whom favored
a different political alignment. As
far apart as the poles, apparently,

pie particularly-may well engage
our earnest and present considera.
ton.
We may begin to safeguard and
buttress that welfare NOW in the
communities in which we live, by
a cooperative effort to use our as
sets in the most effective way
toward speeding the results we
seek.
There is no more effective way
than a careful cooperative watch
fulness of the monies we spend, to
see that it marks us as a careful
people who want, for our spending,
the same consideration given to
other citizens-like the mark of
the union label demanded by or
ganize workers-the patronage ex-
pected by supporters of successful
parties, and the generous parcel
ling out of jobs by merchants to
those groups that support them.
We have been and still are, too
Indifferent to these matters. We
receive no patronage jobs; we get
no jobs from the monies we spend,
though it runs into the hundreds
of thousands of dollars annually.
Those merchants who make a
special appeal to our people
through the columns of our papers,
have taken a first step and an i'm
portant one in the direction of
recognizing the justice of our
claims for more and better con-
siderations. The growing number
of firms, using this paper, clearly
indicates that many of our people
repay, by their patronage, this gen.
erOus gesture of wise merchants.
We encourage and urge more CO.
operation of this kind and not by
any means entirely for our benefit.
When standard substantial firms
like the Chalk opley, Mems Fur
nishers of st. Paul, or Rothschild's
of Minneapolis, invite our people
to buy from them through our or
gan, what good reasons should keep
our people from patronizing such
well established and well stocked
firms that show themselves friend
ly.
If all of our people, that could,
would buy from these stores, in
very few months one or more Of
our boys would be placed there to
wait upon the increased trade.
