OTHER WOMAN
INCABLECASE
FACESC0URT
BY ALVINL. KRIEG

CA N 7 ON, Ohio, March 20
U.N.S0.-PoSsibility that Sensa.
tional evidence may be unfolded
in the Gable murder mystery arose
today on the heels Of a bitter YER
bal clash between Mayor James A.
Seccombe and the former Judge,
who is attorney for Theresa Lud-
wig, divorce, and the "other wom-
an" in the case.
Miss Ludwig, 45-year-old sweet
heart of Dueber s. Gable, the mur-
der victims husband, was to ap-
pear today before Municipal Judge
Carl FeiSt on a technical charge
of suspicion. She may waive ex-
animation and be bound over to
the grand jury or be discharged.
William Quinn, former judge
and Miss Iudwig'S counsel, is en-
titled to demand that evidence
supporting the charge be pre-
sented. If he should do so, the
possibility exists that startling de-
tails of her romance with Gable
may be revealed in court.
Both Gable and Miss Ludwig
admitted to police they had been
intimate for seven years and
that Cable maintained her in an
Akron apartment since July, 1884.
The evidence is expected to con-
Germ details Of Cables double life,
of the many evenings he spent in
Miss Ludwig's apartment when
he was not at. his Canton home
with his wife, Rose Gable, 48,
felled by a shotgun blast a week
ago Thursday night.
Police have been given names of
at least four men-two from Can
ton, one from Akron and one from
Cleveland-all prominent in busi-
ness life and married-who par
ticipated in parties at the apart
ment.
Not long after the city's dapper
mayor engaged in his heated al
tercation with Quinn, during
which the attorney declared the
Canton city Jail was not fit for
dogs, it was disclosed that Gable
was booked on suspicion, a tech
nical charge identical to that on
which Miss Ludwig is held. Until
yesterday he had simply been
held for investigation"

While hardware" is usually as
sociated with stores selling ham
merS and nails, the word takes in
a lot of territory, including such
things for the home as locks, out
side lanterns and other fittings
bearing a relation not only to
practically but also to decorative
ness.
When planning to replace that
bathroom door lock or to put a
new catch on the porch screen
door, one or two points might be
borne in mind. One is that out
side hardware must withstand the
ravages of weather and should be
proof against rust. Another is
that many types of locks are avail
able.
Among the types are those re-
quiring no keys-So that baby can
never become locked in the bath
room-and there are others which
will help create an atmosphere in
keeping with the furnishings or
color scheme of a room.
The Washington times., 1937-03-20
LinOLeum:

Once relegated to the bathroom,
various types of linoleums in re-
cent years have been put to useful,
decorative service in many parts OF
the home.
Keeping abreast Of the times,
manufacturer have developed all
sorts of floor coverings and color
schemes in linoleum, so that it is
finding an increasingly important
place in stores, hospitals and other
buildings.
Rugs" Of linoleum in brilliant
designs fit well in many dining
rooms-and no harm is done if
baby spills his cereal on the floor.
The same is true when linoleum is
used in a nursery.
For modern interiors, there are
IinoleumS of solid color, while
every conceivable shade and deco
rative scheme is also to be found.
AS a result, linoleum is used for
porch rugs" kitchen floors, the
bottoms of closets and even for
surfacing of shelves by housewives
desiring to have an easily cleaned

with good materials. If not,
trouble may develop quickly and
the effect will be ruined. On the
other hand, many small jobs
around the home can be handled
inexpenSively by the handy
man" who will investigate the
hundreds of paints, enamelS and
other coatingS now on the market.
Outside work may be done at
any time Of year-including now
provided there is no rain and the
temperature is above 40 degrees.
One word of caution, however,
before painting radiators consult
a competent heating man, because
certain types of coating hinder
heat radiation and raise fuel bills.

Burke said the proposal should
be condemned to everlasting per-

be obtained within the Constitu-

quickly blown into thin air. All
that remains of it is the natural
suspicion that always follows a
lack of frankness.
''It is now freely admitted, in
general, that the purpose of this
new and startling suggestion,
the like Of which no man ever
before dared breathe in this
country, is to infuse enough new
blood into the court to make
sure, or at least reasonably
sure, that the court will never
again dare to act as an inde-

majority of the moment may be

MIA ...zA,V There was
&IasElsr a time when
many folk, read
ing a newspaper account Of rising
or falling sales by real estate
brokers, would remark, That's
good for them" or That's bad for
them" Today quite a few of these
persons are saying, That's good
for me" or That's bad for me"
The reason is not far to seek.
If real estate brokers are making
more sales, the fact is an infallible
indicator of a rising market-of
higher construction costs and
consequently of greater prices for
property. This situation has a
direct bearing on the worth to
the average citizen of purchasing
home or making an investment.
Values Rising Now
Naturally, he wants to buy
when prices are low, so that his
home or his investment will in
crease rather than decrease in
value. Actually. more persons buy
during rising markets than dur
ing falling markets, and hence
their wish to get in" cheaply is
sometimes thwarted.
This does not mean that real
estate is a thoroughly bad invest
ment at the peak of an upward
trend. The fluctuation is never so
great as to cause such a result.
But it does mean that those who
honestly want to purchase at the
more opportune times have every
chance to do so.
Meanwhile, many allow the op-
portunity to slip. The present mo-
ment is a case in point. Right
now-today-property in the Dis
trict Of Columbia and throughout
the country is rising in value.
Time to Purchase
It will continue to rise.
What should be done about it?
The answer is that anyone in a
position to make a down payment
on a home or anyone with cash
he believes can most safely be in
vested in real estate should take
immediate action.
My own busineSs-and that of
dozens Of my friends in the realty
fields increasing rapidly. Hence,
to repeat a hackneyed but never
theless true admonition, Nov is
the time to buy" Nothing better
could be said.

The State Department today made

as follows:
Il have the honor to inform Your

saying that bombing operations by
japanese forces will be strictly con-
fined to such scope and will not be
aimed at non-combatants, as evi-
denced by the fact that warning was

Japan is compelled because of short

imports not absolutely necessary for
the prosecution of the war in China
Some 300 commodities are being
banned and thus many American and
British exporters who ordinarily would
oppose the severance of trade relations
with Japan are already losing their
markets. They are primarily the ex-
porters of luxury articles. raw cotton,
wool, lumber and precision instru-
ments. Japan offers a good market for

Plans for summoning Parliament i'll

to her knees with an economic boycott
and perhaps even the severance OF
diplomatic relations, we're announced
here today.
A formal request for urgent action
against Japanese barbarism will be
be made by Maj. Clement Atlee, leader
of the British opposition. who will act
early next week, he said today.
Opposition leaders already have
consulted Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden, and the British cabinet. meet
ing yesterday for the first time since
the holidays. discussed the Far East
ern situation at length, it is learned.
There is reason to believe that the
government itself told the opposition
that a request for a special session
of Parliament to deal with the Japa-
nese problem would be welcomed.
Every civilized nation in the world
including the non-League govern
ments of the United States Italy and
Germany, have made Japan's isolation
complete but British governmental
quarters hint that the tim has come
to move from mere condemnation to
action.
Other Developments.
Other significant developments of
today, besides the fact that the British
have decided to go ahead, with or with
out the United States, include,
The decision Of the air ministry to
