"LOUe" Duel
Leaves
I Dead

SANTA FE, N. NJ, July
0.N.SD.-A melodramatic gun
duel over the love of a woman
was investigated by police today.
Austin Beasley, 80, walked into
police headquarters and said he
mad shot a man whom he sus-
pected of courting his wife for tue
past two years. He directed police
to a deserted barn north of town,
where the body of Dan Caffey, 40,
was found, with eight bullets in it.
Beasley said he invited Caffey
out to the barn, laid two pistols
and a knife on a table and chal,
lenged Caffey to flight it out"
At a given signal, the men
picked up the pistols and fired
point blank at each other.
Caffey slumped to the floor with
eight bullets in mis- body, Beasley
said. Beasley incurred a flesh
wound.

SOCIETY PROBLEM CHILD
DITCH-DIGGING JOB DENIED
FATFER-IN-LAW OF ASTOR

PROVIDENCE, R. l., July 2.-Recent de-
velopments in the hectic affairs of Francis
French society's problem child and father
in-law of John Jacob Astor, indicate that
instead of receiving the PWA job of digging
bitches he had applied for, the ex-taxi driver
will have to look to his lovely daughter,
"Tucky" French Astor, for support.
'Tucky," under the Rhode Island law will be
compelled to support her father if it can be
shown that she has an independent income,
according to Edward P. Redy, State director of
public welfare.
The straw that broke the camelS back Mr..
Reidy said, is the very obvious fact that Mr..
French has numerous rich relatives, including
his Son-inlaw who inherited the AStor millions,
and persons applying for WPA jobs must have
no other resources.
French, whose vicssitudes have caused his ex-
wife, Tuckys mother, and his children many
headaches, applied for the PWA job on the
ground that he was destitute and would since it
appeared the only alternative, have to support
his second wife by digging bitches.

What, No Tag?
d. C.. Is Almost Out
of Dog Licenses

1t looked very tough for Towser
for a while at the District Build
ing today.
For at the office where dog
licenses are issued, it was discov-
cred that not a single brass tag
remained in the till. Simply fresh
out of licenses.
And many a small boy went
around in fear and trembling of
the dog catcher until Mrs. Hattie
Small came to the rescue.
Mrs. Small, who dispenSes the
licenses, dug up a handful of tags.
Enough to last until Tuesday, she
said, when a fresh supply will be
obtained.
(Advice to Towser: if you fail
to get one of the few tags Mrs.
Small has left, lie low until you
hear from the mob.)

Scheid Set Free,
Finished as Cop
Cleared by Jurors,
Gets Kiss From
Pretty Girl

Edwin Scheid, young Falls
Church tVaD policeman, charged
with the murder of Theodore
Ted" Daugherty, Washington
musician, was free today and
through with police work.
A jury in Arlington County Cir
cult Court took only 40 minutes
last night to find the young of.
ficer not guilty of shooting Daugh.
erty the night of March 20.
After hearing evidence for the
past three days, including one
night session, the jury briefly re.
viewed the case when it retired,
then took only one ballot.
VERDICT CHEERED
There we're scenes of wild dis
order as hundreds of persons who
packed the court room disre-
garded the instructions of Judge
Walter T. Mccarthy that there be
no demonstration and broke into
cheers and applause when George
F.. Cook, foreman, announced the
decision.
Commonwealth's Attorney Law
renee Douglas, who, in his closing
argument, branded young Scheid
as a cold-blooded killer and urged
the jury to find him guilty of Sec
ond degree murder, announced an
Indictment pending against Her.
bert Knox, another young police
man and companion of Scheid the
night of the shooting, probably
would be nolle-proSSed.
SCHEID NEAR COLLAPSE
Nervous and trembling as the
jury filed into the courtroom,
Scheid was on the verge of tears
as the verdict was announced. He
broke into a broad smile of relief
and embraced his father and
mother, who sat just a few feet
away from him through the trial.
There was hint of romance as
pretty young girl, identified as
Miss Carolyn Adair, of BallSton,
rushed through the crowd and
kissed Scheid.
Earlier in the day, he had ad-
mitted on the witness stand that
he was engaged, but did not name
his fiancee. Later he said
Yes, we are engaged, but we
have no plans for marriage at
this time. In fact, I have no
plans at all The only thing I
know definitely is that 1 am
through with police work.
This has been terrible ex-
perience. I am very sorry that
it had to occur, and would do
anything in my power to bring
Daugherty back to life"

Staying Clue COLLapses:
Gray Death Balks Hollywood Police
Weeping Girl Fails
To Yield Clue
In Staying

HOLLYWOOD, July 2 Q.N.SO
Police seemingly we're baked to,
day in their efforts to solve the
mysterious death of King D. Gray,
middle-aged motion picture
cameraman.
From a weeping, hysterical girl
in New Castle, Pa, they gained
but little information, instead of
finding some clue which might
lead to solution of what they be-
lieve was a murder.
The girl was Frances Bleakley,
%, a former University of South
ern California student, who had
written a letter to Gray asking
him to do her favor.
GRAY HAD LETTER
The letter was found on Gray
when police discovered him sitting
grotesquely in his automobile,
parked in front of the Hollywood
postoffice, a bullet through his
chest.
Pennsylvania police questioned
the girl at the request of local
officers on the theory Gray might
have been slain because of his
friendship with the girl, former
resident of Hollywood, who had
signed the letter with love always,
Babe" and sent it to his private
box in the Post Office.
But the most they could ascer-
tain was that she wanted him to
check on a trunk she had left in
Hollywood.
WIFE CITES QUARREL
Miss Bleakley was employed in
the art department of Holly
wood store until several weeks
ago, when Sc left to visit her
mother in New Castle. Police said
they understood that Gray and
the girl were merely good friends,
although they admitted that
Gray's widow, Mrs. Myrtle Gray,
told them that she and Gray had
quarreled recently over letter he
had received from girl in the
East"
A bottle of wine, partly emptied,
found in Gray's car, led police to
believe he may have had others
in the car during the evening.
ROBBERY DOUBTED
Although detectives at first
abandoned robbery as a motive,
tey later theorized the shot could
have been fired by a holdup man.
Jerry Ash, a camera man and
friend of Gray's, told police he
and two other men had dinner
with Gray at the Universal Studio
Cafe Wednesday night and that
Gray, when he left them about 9
o'clock, appeared unusually
cheerful"

Report on Unemployment In

LONDON, Jan 8.-The first week
Of 1888 produced no decisive trend
In the London securities market. Two
principal events of investment interest,
to Congress and publication of Great
Britain's unemployment statistics, were
roughly counter-balancing.
The financial district interpreted
Roosevelt's message as reassuring and
reasona BILE, thus belying pessimistic
forecasts. But the good effects we're
soon neutralized by disclosure of a
large increase in unemployment,
which, although eXaggerating real de-
terioration due to special non-recur-
ring influences, including the effect of
bad weather on the building trade,
emphasize the check on trade recov-
cry in some industries since autumn.
However. certain branches, notably
coal mining, distributive trades and
road transport, show reduced unem-
ployment.
The securities market, however, was
not unduly pessimistic, but industrial
shares, neglected by private investors,
are still making reservations on po-
tential trade movements. The weeks
movement in security prices conse-
quently was uncertain, though the
general tendency was slightly in favor
Of holders.
This was particularly the case with

profits for 1887, rejecting the years
