John Rec Confesses Today HatHeKilled T1uo Women

for his room. That angered him, and he took a .32-calibre revolver from his pocket and ordered both women upstairs.
 Are you joking?" Mrs. Waite ask ed. "No, I'm not" Rec replied. Get upstairs" The women complied. When they reached the second floor, Rec told Mrs. Waite to enter bed- room to the right of the stairway. He ordered Miss Schuelain into the adjoining room, which he had oc- cupied. He searched bureau drawers in both rooms, and grabbed what silk stockings he could find. Then he went to Mrs. Waite's room, forced her to lie down and bound her hands and feet. Returning to the adjoining room, he made Miss Schu- ellain sit in a chair and bound her to it. He then shot her through the temple.
 He went back to Mrs. Waite's room, and shot her-also through the head. By bus and elevated train, he returned to his New York rooming house. Later he boarded ferryboat for New Jersey. When it reached the middle of the Hudson River, he tos- sed the revolver overheard. Rec was examined by Dr. William G. Burke of Hicksville, N. Y., after he had signed the confession. It was a pre- cautionary move to offset 8 possible claim that the statement had been obtained under third degree met hods. Burke reported that he had found Rec Tn fine shape.'

Mineola, N. r., Jan. 18-(UP) . John Roe, slender, 40-year-old fugi- tive, confessed today, after more than "A hours questioning, that he killed Mrs. Celinda Waite, 59-year- old widow, and her friend, Jean Schuellain, 18.

Mrs. Waite and Miss Schuellain were shot to death in the Waite home at Elmont, N. Y, last Wednes- day. Rec was found in a squalid rooming house in New York City Sunday afternoon, and until $40 a. m. today he had insisted that he h-d no knowledge of the crime.
 I'm feeling fine" the gray-haired, former Lyndhurst, N. J., filling station operator told Weary after signing a confession. The District Attorney said that he would be charged with first-degree murder
 AS related by Neary, Rec told in- vestigators the following story: At 3 p. m. on Jan. 12, he arrived at the Waite home, in which he had boarded for week during the lat ter part of November Mrs. Waite admitted him. Miss Schuellain, who had stotpped at the home almost daily with home-baked goodies for the widow. was sitting at the dining room table. Mrs. Waite denounced Rec for having departed the day after Thanksgiving without paying

Hall said the sugges- learned today. Finance Commission tions were made in the interests of Simpliflcaiton and economy" Simi- lar recommendations ultimately will be made to every governmental agency to keep income and expendi- lures in balance.

Republican, Independent Democrat Rooters on Hand
 to See Their Side Win-Democrats We're Vic= tOriOus in About All Their Motions

Republicans and Independent Democrats overdowed the alder manic chamber last night, crowded the corridors of City Hall, cheered and applauded possibly three times. and saw the Republican majority on the board of aldermen shot to pieces by split votes which resulted in Democratic appointments. Even the organization choice for president pro tempore of the board failed of pur- pose and another Republican, Bur ton H. Walker, was elected on Dem ocratic nomination and apparently, with majority support of the min ority."
 Annual Message Read
 The crowds heard the annual message of Mayor Frank Hayes (printed elsewhere). They heard Re- publican aldermen complain that annual reports of departments of the city had not been presented to the board of aldermen and they heard City Clerk John P. Fitz- maurice inform the aldermen in pro- test, that these records had been brought to the meetings but that the aldermen up to this time" had failed to show interest in them.
 Admits Negligence
 They heard the Republican spokes- man admit that perhaps there has been some negligence on the part of the aldermen in the past" and heard him withdraw motion that would have seen the printing of several hundred pages of reports at a cost described by. City Clerk Fitz- maurice as more than my appro- priation would allow"
 City Clerk Reminds Them
 Attempt of the Republican alder men and others to inject the affairs of the office of Controller Sherwood L. Rowland into dramatic expose for the 99 per cent constituency present, resulted in retort by the city clerk that the aldermen, during the last eight years, have had the rec ords, in question, presented to them Continued on Page A

FASTING PASTOR
 ADVISES FLOCK

Memphis, Tenn, Jan. 18-(UP)- The Very Rev. Israel H. Noe today forbade any of his 1,200 spiritual followers to give up food and water in sympathy for his personal fast to prove that he can live indefinite ly on a spiritual fare. He will walk this road alone, he said on the 17th day of his fast as reports circulated that small group at the Episcopal cathedral of St. Mary, where Noe is dean, planned to begin to fast. This group was said to be one par ticularly close to Dean Noe-people eager to manifest by some outward sign their faith in what their spir- intual shepherd is doing.
 These reports were brought to Dean Noes attention at the deanery across the street from the cathedral. He listened gravely and then said: q do not know that any of my parishioners are doing such a thing. But I do not want anyone to follow me. I am leading my own life and setting my own example. Each in dividual must choose his own course"

IRISH AFFAIRS
 ARE DISCUSSED
Unity of North, South Is Not Yet Out in Open
 for Debate
BY JOSEPH w. GREGG, JR.


 United Press Staff Correspondent
 London, Jan. 18.-(UP)-Peace conversations between Irish and British leaders, temporarily threat ened with failure because of Ire- lands political troubles, moved along a smoother course today after preliminary examination of the vital partition question.
 The conversations appeared to have been deadlocked last night but today there were indications that the initial meeting of the con- ferees merely was an "ice-breaking' process in which the British and Irish exchanged views on Ramon De Valera's proposal for a united Ire- land.
 It was learned reliably that no question concerning decisions on any matter under discussion has arisen The British conferees were doing their utmost to preserve an atmosphere of intimacy and infor- mality to avoid the impressin that the talks are a full dress" con- ference AS a result, it was said, there would be no after feeling of failure if no agreement can be reached in the first meetings.
 Meanwhile, it was generally known that De Valera and his associates were eager to settle Irish economic difficulties with Britain and Cham berlain and the British were equal ly as eager to settle the defense question.
 AS result, each side was doing its utmost to avoid accusations of obstinacy over the partition question even if it meant sacrificing other advantages.
 Many observers believed that if an agreement over the economic and defense questions were reached the British and Irish delegations would be able to resume their dis cussions of a united or partitioned Ireland with an incentive to reach some kind of compromise.
