YEARLY METEOR SHOWER
TO BE VISIBLE TONIGHT

II the moon doesn't interfere, and
1t isn't expected to; if clouds don't get
in the way. and they are not likely to;
and II you watch the northeast sky
tonight, you may see the annual
Perseid meteor shower.
The shower is a series of secondlong
flashes that appear in the region of
the Perseus constellation. Often, if
accompanied by moonlight, the flashes
become too obscured by the greater
light to be seen. Clouds. likewise, can
cut off the glimpse offered Of the
phenomenon.
Both the Naval Observatory and
the Weather Bureau expect a clear
sky tonight, describing the setting as
ideal" for observation.
The shower is believed to have
originated from a comet which, for
some reason, shattered, Small frag-
ments constantly hit the atmosphere
of the earth, air friction then burning
them out. 1t is this burning that
gives of the quick flashes.

Finding of what are believed to be
death guns in a secret automobile
cache will not reopen the 4-year -old
Milton w. (Milsie) Henry murder
case, in which Philadelphia gangster
is serving a life term, Inspector Ber-
nard w. Thompson, chief Of detec-
tives, said today.
At least a dozen persons handled
the guns before they were turned over
to identification experts, eliminating
possible fngerprint evidence, it was
said.
Thompson pointed out that the
same witnesses who placed Charles
Harris, alias frankie Blum, at the
murder scene, also identified the auto
mobile in which the guns were found
yesterday. S.. -...
The gangster arsenal, discovered in
a cleverly concealed cache behind the
front seat of the murder car, included
sawed-off shot gun, .38 and As
caliber pistol and two boxes Of pistol
cartridges
Henry, 35-year old Washington gam
bier, was riddled with slugs from Q
sawed-of shotgun by hired assassin
early on the morning of April 81, 1882
The automobile in which the killer rode
was seized, but a careful scrutiny by
police failed to uncover the secret
compartment.
Harris was convicted of the murder
and sentenced to death, but the SEN
tence was modified and he now is serv-
ing a life term at the Federal Peni-
tentiary in Lewisburg, Pa. The mur-
der weapons were not found at the
time.
Harris car was held by police for
four years and then sold to junk
dealer, who in turn sold it to Walter

CLOSED BANKS ASSETS
RAISED $92, 800 BY SALE
McReynolds Apartments Sold by
Receiver for Federal American.
Raises Dividend Hopes.

Cary A. Hardee, receiver for the
closed Federal-American National
Bank & Trust Co., announced yester-
day the sale of the McReynolds
Apartments at Eighteenth and G
streets to the G. & r. Corp. of this
city. The sale was negotiated
through Randall H. Hagner & Co.,
Inc.
The building, subject to first and
second trust, brought to the receiver
ship sum of $92, 500 cash.
This figure, Hardee explained, was
"far in excess" Of what he anticipated
realizing from this asset one year or
more ago. This additional fund, to
be used eventually for depositors of
the bank, follows recent successful
termination Of the receivers fight to
assess stockholders double liability on
their stock, which resulted in freeing
already $1,100,000 to be used in liqui-
dating the bank. No dividend for de-
positors is in sight Immediately,
however.
