not allowed myself to be seen
about the Sidewalk Cafe be-
cause Of the possibility some de-
ranged person might come here
for the express purpose of kill
ing me-"
Although West owns the Side
walk Cafe, he operated it jointly
with Miss Todd, whose name ap-
peared over the door. 1t was
above this cafe, on the lonely
windSwept mesa overlooking the
sea, that the stars body was
found December Is. launched un-
der the steering wheel in her car,
the body was discovered by Miss
Todd'S maid, Mae Whitehead.
Since then an intensive inves-
tigation has been conducted by
the grand jury and by the dis
trict attorneys office. And as
officials have delved into the
circumstances of the strange
death, mystery after battling
mystery has opened before them.
Consider Three Theories
AS when the case first opened
three weeks ago, three possible
ties still rem in-accidenta
death, suicide, or murder by
monoxide." It is thought most
jurymen have discarded the acct
dental theory, and it is known
many Of them lean to a belief
some foul play, some sinister
force, caused the death of the
happy, carefree actress.
At the same time, however, it
was learned here today the dis
trict attorneys office has new
witnesses who will testify the star
committed suicide. Names of
these informantS, friends of the
dead girl, we're being carefully
guarded here, but it Is thought
they will be called before the
grand jury Monday.
Possibility Miss Todd was the
victim Of q powerful underworld
clique, first mentioned when the
matter Of gambling in her cafe
was studied, was given new mean
ing today when it was learned she
had received two extortion notes
Just before she died.
West told jIrymen he had seen
these notes on Miss Todd'S dress
ing table in her fashionable
apartment, which adjoins the
apartment Of the producer.

Swedish Physician in
Adds Ababa Tells
of TRAGIC Act

Adds ABARA, Jan. 4 0.N.S.)
"It was an utterly deliberate
act!"
This charge was made by DR.
Fride Hylander, wounded com
mander Of the Swedish Red Cross
unit bombed by Italian planes
early Monday morning, as he was
assisted from a plane arriving
here today from Dolo.
"The morning of the bombing
1 was in the operating theater
when . perfect tornado Of
bombs and machine gun bullets
suddenly rained down upon me.
TERRIBLE CARNAGE
81 had just time to see two
lines Of planes, three Of which
were enfiIading the ambulance,
when / was hit and lost con.
sciOusness.
''When opened my eyes
was in the midst of the most
terrible scene Of carnage imagin-
able scores Of dead
dying wounded around me
shrieks and grOanS Of the
wounded, and the crackle Of the
blazing tents"
Italy already has issued q
note Of regret to the Swedish
government for the attack, which
aroused worldwide public indig
nation, and which was sharply
protested to the League of Ne
lions by the International Rec
Cross. DR.. Hylander said:
"Our tent alone had AIS bull.
let holes.
"LundStrOm was severely
wounded but kept crying I
must attend the wounded
Lundgren was also wounded but
Immediately began to help the
patients.
Both Lundstrom and Lundgrer
were assistant mechanics with the
unit.
1.-THE wounded Swcdes and
AbysSinians worked magntfi.
Gently, but the blazing tents,
fumes from bombs, and general
confusion made the work most
difficult and dangerous.
SAYS ITALY LIED
practically all cur stores
were destroyed.
"There was absolutely no eX-
cuse for the raid. The ambu-
lance had the Red Cross prom
inentIy displayed.
"The Italian allegation that
Ethiopian chiefs took refuge In
our tent Is baseIess. Even the
military escort provided to us
by RaS Desta was mot in the
ambulance"
The correspondent who met the
airplane in which DR.. Hylander
and his aides arrived said groanS
of the wounded could be heard
above the hum of the propellerS
as the plane landed.

With the Senate Munitions
Committee preparing to delve
into the international activities
Of j. P. Morgan and Company,
arrangements we're completed at
the Shoreham Hotel today for
the arrival Of the Morgan party,
probably tomorrow.
Although secrecy surrounded
the preparations, it was learned
that the Morgan party viii oc-
cupy two entire wings on the

corner Of the hotel. Two con-
ference rooms have been pre-
pared, with long tables. arm

for members of the party who may
prefer to dine in their suite. At
least q dozen bedrooms are pro
vided.
Hearing Open Tuesday
Hearings before the Senate COM
mittee are scheduled to get under
way on Tuesday, but no definite
time has been set for the arrival
Of Mr.. Morgan himself. It is ex-
pected however, that he will be
called as a witness.
Since his experience two years
ago before the Senate Banking
Committee, when a circus midget
jumped into his lap as flashlights
went off, Mr.. Morgan's move
ments have been cloaked in
greater secrecy than ever. All
reservations for the party were
made by q Mr.. Coots, advance
agent for the party.
When the party arrives they
will not register, but will be eS-
corted directly to the suite, to pro-
tect their identity. Asked if it
were not a violotion Of law, c.
Sharshing, an official of the no
tel, said:
'The question Of registration

tee is preparing to probe another

lawyer came to the Capital and
made q mysterious visit to the
State Department, where, it was
reported, he was shown Govern
ment records relating to the war
time activities Of Morgan & Co..
and spent many hours going over
them.
What the Senate committee is
most anxious to find out is
whether he were shown o conf
Dental report by an Investigator
concerning the influence Of fl
nance and trade on Americas en-
try into the World War.
Included in the Morgan party
will be a number of lawyers once
in high Government posts. Among
them is John W. Davis, now q Lib
erty League leader and the 1924
candidate for the Presidential
nomination on the Democratic
ticket. Another is Frank L. Polk,
UnderSecretary Of State in the
Wilson administration, and Q

 Upon graduating from High school he entered Fordham Univer- sity in New York. While ct college he took an active interest in athle- tics and was considered one of the most genial members of his class, Q trait which had won for him the ad- miration of his fellow classmates. He was always willing to assist in the regular college calendar work and was an aid to fellow students whenever any large project was ur1- 6ertaken. He graduated from Ford. ham in 1885 and during his short time as member of the alumni had shown a desire to further the interest of the college in this city. Since his graduation he had been associated with his father in the grocery business.
 The esteem in which he was held by young and old friends alike was evident by the countless number of tributes, the bits of kindness and the true friendship displayed dur- ing his illness. Inquiries were always being made as to his progress in health and up to the time of his death friends kept Q constant vigil hoping against hope that he could fight the ailment which finally clamied him as 6 victim.
