A mysterious multilation case Of
two years ago was recalled today
with the arrest of the victim here
in connection with another mutt
lation case in Richmond, Va.
The man under arrest is Romley
Harvill, 80, of the 1900 block B
st. S. E. He was taken into Gus
tody at his home early this morn
ing on a fugitive warrant from
Richmond.
It was in September, 1885, that
Harvill, a motorman for the Cap
ital Transit Company, was taken
to Casualty Hospital suffering
from the effects of a crudely per-
formed mutilation operation.
He told story of having been
kidnapped at the Navy Yard car
barns by two colored men, carried
into Maryland, lashed to a tree
with tire chains and mutilated.
Later the men brought him back
to Washington, he said.
At the time, his wife, Mrs.
Anna Harvill, told police:
IF he dies, I'll tell the whole
story"
Harvill recovered and the case
was dropped by police.
One week ago today Frank
Robbins, 33, of Boone, N. c.. was

Richmond police learned that
Robbins had registered at the
hotel with two other men, neither
of whom was in the room at the
time.
The trail led to Washington,
and warrant was issued for Har-
will.
When arrested by Detective
Sergt. Richard Cox, Harvill ad-
mitted he had been in the hotel,
but denied any part in the attack.
He said he had fled because he
was frightened after Robbins had
been found by a bellboy.

Republican Dilemma
Considerations of Prudence Seen Arguing Against
Premature Declarations of Policy.

One important Republican leader,
ex-0ov. Landon Of Kansas, declared
that the midterm convention, II held,
ought to take position on precisely
these currently controversial ques-
tions. Other Republican leaders, espe-
cially members Of Congress, opposed
the convention precisely because they
felt it might take positions on cur
rently controversial questions. Nat
urally members Of Congress, coming
from widely separated States and dis
tricts, prefer that on many questions
they should not be committed. A Re-
publican Congressman from New Eng
land might be opposed to farm relief;
one from the Midwest might favor 1t.
One or the other might be embar-
raised by a party declaration OF Ma
ton wide policy.
New York Election.
Undoubtedly the meeting In Chi
cago was influenced by last Tuesdays
election in New York City. There the
Republican leaders saw a spectacu-
larly successful candidate for Mayor,
Mr.. La Guardia, who bore the Repub-
lican designation, but at the same
time, by his own past declarations and
in the nature Of his Endorsement by
the American Labor party, had = color
inconsistent with much past Repub-
lican doctrine. 1t was borne in upon
some Republican leaders that the
party, as q national organization,
might need to go a considerable dis
tance In tn, leftward direction Alto
gether. considerations OF expediency
and prudence argued against a nation

after some time has passed.

Headline Folk
and What
They Do
Hat Maker Directed
Labor in New York
Campaign.
BY LEMUEL PARTON.

r OOKING over papers from
l. nearby territory, this writer
finds political commentators
IL making much over the emerg-
ence OF the American Labor party as
balance of power" group in New
York State. The Anti-saloon League
showed what could be done with a
compact but mobile bloc of that kind,
and practical politicians are inter-
ested.
Long, lean, solemn Alex Rose, q
hatmaker. directed the campaign
which rolled up 482, ,459 votes in Tues
days elections. As executive secre-
tary of the party, he has been its
spokesman and its strategist in laying
the foundations Of what he says will
be a permanent organization. He was
on the Job at the Hotel Claridge early
Thursday, prodding his organization
into fresh activity and laying plans
to continue minutely detailed Or
ganization in assembly districts. He
says the party will be the nucleus
around which various progressive
groups will gather.
He is pallid, intense Savonarola Of
the new dispensation in labor; fiat
chested, loosely srticulated in person,
deliberate in movement, with thinning
black hair, a dominating nose and
black zealot's eyes. He is about 40
years old, Of Polish background, speak
ing English with a slight accent, in
soft tones and with vocabulary
which sounds slightly bookish. He
knows labor and theological" theory,
but he works like Tammany in picking
up the techniques Of the departing
sachems-minutely detailed precinct
and bloc organization. He makes it
clear that that's what the party Is
banking on for the future.
He has been in New York about 20
years, hatmaker and in recent years
national vice president of the Hat
ters. Cap-makers and Milliners' Union.
Whether he is Watt Tyler or just
another mad halter, he and his new
Labor party catch the swing Of the
spotlight today in the post-mortem
of confusing election which is max
ing all the prophets pull their punch.

The commission contended Good

stopped. Goodyear appealed, arguing
the differential was not sufficiently
large to give Sears Roebuck an unfair
advantage.
The appeals court sent the case
