Staying OF Wall Street
 Teller Remains Mystery

zNew York, Sept. 27-CUP)-The staying of George o. Frank, 47- year-old Wall Street teller, remain ed a mystery today, while investiga- tors sought to uncover enough evi- dence to press a homicide charge against Gertrude O'Keefe, 37-year- old typist, whose 2 1-2-year romance ended when Frank fell in love with a New England harpist. Detectives found Mrs. Mae McCann, Franks former wife, in a woodland bunga- low near Port Jefferson, N. r.. yes- terday, and heard her tell how she had spent $700 for private detectives and devoted weeks of her own time to trailing Frank and Miss O'Keefe. She found no evidence acceptable in New York state divorce courts and finally went to Reno.
 Tt almost killed me to see an- other woman take him away from me, "she said. "He was the most wonderful man who ever came into my lfe." On one occasion, Mrs. McCann said, she rented a room in the house, in which her rival lived, and spent two weeks there, watching the meetings between Frank and the shy typist whom he called, My

400 APPEALS IN
 SUPREME COURT
Highest Tribunal to COn= vene Monday for Im=
 pOrtant Decisions

Washington, Sept, 27-CUP)-Ap- proXimately 400 appeals from lower court decisions were on file today for supreme court action when the coun- try's highest tribunal convenes next Monday for its 1937-38 term.
 In addition to attack on New Deal legislation and the usual assortment of tax, patent infringement and damage suits, the court must hear a petition by Albert Levitt, former assistant to Attorney General Homer S. Cummings, who seeks to bring suit on the eligibility of newly appointed Justice Hugo L. Black.
 Even Blacks most bitter critics appeared to be agreed that only un-

precedented action by the court in upholding legal objections to Blacks qualifications would keep him of the bench. It was also agreed that any qualification he may have now or may have had in the past with the Ku Klux Klap could not be used to affect his status as justice. fs
 Black maintained his unbroken si- lence on charges that he is life member of the Ku Klux Klan as he neared the United States after va cation in Europe. He is due to arr rive at Norfolk Wednesday aboard the Baltimore Main lines City of Norfolk.
 Levitt's petition asserts that no vacancy exists as Justice Willis Van Devanter retired but still retains his duties and privileges as justice.
 Observers felt the odds all favored summary rejection of the petition by the court together with prompt seating of the new justice. Should the petition be granted, however. it would mean open argument before, the court-probably over period of weeks - before the question of Blacks right to the place would be settled. '. ..

Darling Goddess" Franks body was found last Tuesday morning on q street few doors from the roon- ing house.
 Meanwhile, detectives learned that Miss O'Keefe had consulted a woman attorney in 1884 about bring ing a breach of promise suit against Frank. The attorney advised her that such action was impractical because she and Frank had not been intimate. More letters, sent, by Frank to Miss O'Keefe in 1880 and 1881, in which he had spoken en- dearingly of his love for her, were made public by the police. One, dated Jan. 26, 1881, read:
 My Darling Gertrude,
 "Of course 1t is no secret that I am always thinking of you. So from thinking to writing 1t is but one step and here am.
 Your George loves you beyond all power to describe. But be is suf- ficient when I say love you de- votedly, with my whole heart and soul . you are everything in life to me, and you always will be the whole world to me. ! am your devoted sweetheart"

requires will exist with such a hodge podge system. If MT. Gull hane and some of his associates could not get along with those who were responsible for his po- litical preferment in days gone by, how can the Republican Party expect harmony, cooperation and good government from them on
 much shorter acquaintance.
 . The Board of Education is too important an institution, too i'm portant to the citizens, voters and taxpayers, not to mention its primary function, namely to ove) see the education of our children. to allow 1t to become political football and the subject of poli- tical trades at the whims of those who consider such practices to be politically expedient. The rank and file of honest, we'll meaning Republicans in Water bury are justly proud of the part its members have played in de- veloping the school system of this city. They are keenly sensitive of the responsibility that we owe to ourselves and our children to keep the Board on as high a level as possible.
 I venture to say that on Elec- tion day the average Republican will indicate that there are still plenty of able, conscientious civic minded Republicans who can serve their city and party as members of the board and as can- didates for any other office within the gift of the electorate and they will indicate this by rebuk- ing their present leaders in vot- ing the Democratic ticket.
 Election day will bring a deci- sion on these and other subjects discussed in this campaign. It is the duty of every citizen to weigh all the arguments, the motives, the experience and records of the candidates and feel that the vast majority of our approxi- mately 45,OOO voters will appre- ciate the fact that the record of the Administration of Prank Hayes and his Democratic Ticket will justify the Democratic cam paign slogan. - Vote early and pull the Top Lever,
