SUSPECT SEIZED
IN 500 SLAYINC

A colored man was arrested to
day for investigation in the mur,
der of Henry Der 500, Chinese
laundryman, after police received
an anonymous telephone call last
night, giving the mans name and
saying:
ARREST him and you will have
the man who killed the China
man."
Taken to headquarters, the
suspect was questioned at length,
but insisted he knew nothing OF
the murder.
500 was found slain two days
ago, a rope knotted around his
neck, his feet tied, and his throat
slashed. The murder took place
in his apartment over his laundry
at 1405 H st. N. E.

The self-effacting widow, who
looks more like a New England
schoolmarm than a gangster's
wife, declared she will launch a
bitter fight to get the wealth she
thinks belongs to her as soon as
the elusive Dixie" is brought back
to New York.
CALLS DIXIE JUDAS
"I believe he is deliberately
concealing a sum close to 81 ,000,-
900 which my husband entrusted
to him for the benefit of myself
and our two children" she de-
clared. Davis is the only Judas
my husband ever knew"
The young Mrs. Flegenheimer is
now living in the Bronx and at
tending a secretarial school.
She charged Davis, former
Schultz attorney, whom District
Attorney Dewey is trying to extra
dite from Philadelphia, obtained
power of attorney from Dutch
and got control over his stocks
and the $2S0,O00 mortgage on the
Colonial Brewery, Yonkers, now
in litigation.
SAYS CASH HIDDEN
with all the reputed millions
Arthur is supposed to have
made, Davis is the only one
close enough to him to know
just how much he actually had"
she said.
"He was plentifully supplied
with money for his various
trials. That he should die a
pauper is incredible. Davis has
lived in wealth and luxury since
the death of Arthur, while Ar
thurs family have been objects
of charity. Davis knows where
this million dollars is"

Fake Butter
Broken
By Raiders

BALTIMORE, Feb. 4 I.N.sO.
The saying-"all that glitters is
not gold"-today was applied to
butter.
Bureau of Internal Revenue
agents seized three tons of synthe-
tic butter in raids on 80 storage
depots here and started action
for the arrest of those involved in
the alleged butter racket.
The fake butter, consisting
mostly of white oleomargerine COL
ored with coloring tablets and
mixed with small portions of genu-
inc butter, was sold to small res.
taurantS, groceries and housewives,
the agents said.
It was estimated that operators
of such fake butter rings have de-
frauded the Government out of
about $25o,0 in taxes in the last
two years.

when two bombing patrol planes
collided in mid-air during secret
maneuveTs at sea. 10 miles south

At the same time, Admiral

SCORES SEE CRASH
The eleventh victim, H. H. Hes
ter, one of the radio men and one
of the four survivors of the Navy's
worst heavier than-air disaster,
died yesterday from injuries ,e-
ceived in the crash.
The crash occurred late Tues
day night in full view of a score
or more surface craft participant
ing in the maneuvers. A shore
launch hastily put out from the
flagship Pennsylvania picked up
Hester, v. o. Hatfield, L. F. Car
penter and D. B. Mckay, aviation
machinist's mates.
The other victims, there had
seen seven in each plane, we're be-
lieved trapped in the wreckage of
the two huge twin ,motored planes.
HEROISM DESCRIBED
From the pain-racked lips OF
the three remaining survivors, all
of whom we're critically injured
came the story of the crash and
stories of gallant Navy heroism.
When the 11-P-4 tore into its
sister ship, the 11-P-3, the for
mer's commander, Lieut.. Carleton
B. Hutchins, ordered the men to
take to their parachutes, while he
remained aboard and made q
futile attempt to bring the doomed
craft to a safe landing.

DAVIS DEFIANT
IN Interview

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 4 G.N.S0
His dapper nonchalance replaced
by chill resolve, J. Richard Dixie
Davis told his own story for the
first time today and hurled a chal-
lenge at District Attorney Dewey
Of New York to prove the charges
against him.
In a copyrighted interview with
the New York Journal-American,
Davis said:
II am not a gangster-a killer
"a kidnaper-or a mob leader.
! defy District Attorney Dewey
TO prove that I am"
"Mr. Dewey" continued Davis,
twill never be able to get anyone
to commit perjury to prove his
claims ."
Becoming fugitive was the
greatest mistake ever made"
said Davis. But, Dewey was
getting ready for a political
campaign and I was afraid I
was to be political goat"
II honestly believe that if
hadn't become a fugitive I
would not have been disbarred
II feel pretty bad about that"
IF Dewey had his way, you'll
probably go away for a long
term - a reoortar cold

Court Refuses to Hear

Loses First Round
Against DeWey

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 4 QN,S).
j. Richard Dixie" Davis, dis
barred lawyer and purported heir
to the 100000, ,OOO-a-year policy
take of the slain gangster, Dutch"
Schultz, and his partner, George
Weinberg, today lost the first
round of their fight to block extra
dition to New York.
Climaxing argument by oppos-
ing counsel, Judge James M.
Barnett refused to hold a hearing
on a writ of habeas corpus in be-
half of the two defendants. He
continued the case until 10 o'clock
Monday morning.
Il see no pressing emergency
in the case of men who have
been in hiding for the past
seven months" commented
Judge Barnett.
Il will not be here tomor-
row." Barnett replied to addi-
tional requests that the hearing
be held late today or tomorrow.
FAIL TO CUT BAIL
Lemuel B. Schofield, prominent
Philadelphia attorney and one
time director of public safety
here, sought to obtain an i'm.
mediate hearing, in an effort to
have the prohibitive bail of $780,
900 each reduced.
The two defendants have been
in City Hall prison cells since
they were apprehended in sur
prise raid on their West Philadel.
phia hide.out-the home of Dixie S
showgirl sweetheart, Hope Dare,
Wednesday morning.
Assistant District Attorney John
N. Maurer and Bryan A. Hermes,
special deputy attorney general OF
Pennsylvania, contested the right
of the court to hold an immediate
hearing, contending laws of this
Commonwealth grant them "a
hours in which to prepare argu
ment against issuance of a writ
of habeas corpus.
AT DEWEY'S REQUEST
Hermes was appointed to rep
resent New York's interests by
Attorney General Charles J. Mar
giotti, at the request of District
Attorney Thomas Dewey, New
York's racket buster"
Davis and Weinberg, manacled
and guarded by detectives, were
forced to sit in the courtroom fol
half an hour while several routine
cases were heard.
When their case was finally
called, Schofield made repeated
requests for Judge Barnett to GO
into the matter Immediately and
"fix proper bail"

awakening of the yellow race de-
cides their fate. Under such cir

helped to make the year success
full. ...a
During the month of September
a revival was conducted by the
Rev. Sam Banner of Orangeburg,
S. c., and by Rev. Phillips. Much
interest was shown in the revival
and during the ten days of its
existence there were % members
added to the church. During the

The Tooth anniversary Of the
church was commemorated in Oc-

standing event and one which will
long be remembered.
Rev. Phillips stated to the

special meeting on Wednesday,
December 20, that he would not
