aged. plus the further destruction
of more than 100 japanese air
craft. quite a chunk of the hippo
nese navy has been added TO "Davy
Jones' locker" These losses were
al inflicted by American aircraft.
The American losses during that
five-day period were only three
ships sunk. one of which-the air
craft carrier Lexington - actually
occurred as the result OF an aeci-
dent after the battle was over. Our
plane losses were relatively small.

and although he had never
served time he had been placed
on probation a few years ago
when he was found guilty OF
larceny.
At 2 o'clock on the morning Of
August %, exactly nine days to
the minute that Broske was
slain, Andreoili was caught In,
his home.
II didn't do itw the bandit
blurted out. Bowers did It,"
Andreoli was hustled off TO
the Thirty-ninth District police
station where he was far from
being the tough customer that
the police expected to find. He
Immediately broke down, SIAM
mering out a confession which
pictured Bowers as the master
mind.
He even consented to the de-
tective's request that he phone
Bowers from the police station,
urging him TO leave his home at
once for an important rendezv-
Gus. The use worked and the
unsuspecting Bowers walked
into the police trap.

The hour was 2 a. m. Aug.
IA, 1887.
Suddenly the door was flung
open and twocmen with ominous
eyes strobe hastily to the bar;
one carried double-barreled
sawed-off shotgun, while a men,
acing revolver cleaned in tho
hand of his companion.
Mrs. Gieck was the only per
son in the room facing the
armed bandits. Staring vacantly
at the approaching gunner she
opened her mouth, then closed
it again, speeches..
One OF the gunner was now
at the troopers back while his
partner covered the others with
a revolver.
The hands Of Mrs Geiek,
Evans and Swartwood went sky

Broske's hand crept slowly,
surreptitiously. along the bar.

trooper slumped to the floor In a

Ten days before the murder.
an Oldsmobile coach was stolen
from the Ben-Mar garage In
Philadelphia. The theft was per-
petrated by two men who kid
named two colored- attendants
employed in the garage. The
colored men were dumped out
in a lonely spot near Easton, 60
miles away.
Here's another report under
the same date which shows that
the Portland House at Portland,
about IS miles from Easton, was
stuck up by two men. A short
time later the Oldsmobile coach
figuring in the kidnap OF the
attendants was found abandoned
not far from Portland.

Fifteen minutes later, the Bou-

Tom Bradshaw, a game warden,
was slain mysteriously more
than a year ago.

get to first base on that case
and Broske was following out a
new lead. However, In spite OF

"BOw-wOw, Bow-wOw," he kept
saying to himself.
Suddenly he sprang to a filing
cabinet.

shouted and flung a photograph
across the desk. There's your
man-Horace Bowers"
The record showed that he
was committed to the Eastern

from 5 to 10 years for impli-
cation in a $4,000 pay roll rob-

Peppermint Oil
To Supply Menihol

NEW YORk-Another industry
turned to the American farmer as
a source of raw materials today
when the Wick Chemical company
placed an educational order with
an essential oil refiner for menthol
to be extracted from peppermint
oil.
This marks the first COM
mercial use of American pep
permint oil as source of
menthol. The latter IL widely
used as a medicinal chemical,
principally for the treatment
of colds. II Is expected that
substantial recorders will be
placed In the near future.
Heretofore, menthol has been
imported from Japan and China.
Experts are of the opinion that
the American farmer will retain
this new customer. They point out
that chemical research has devel-
oped new methods of extraction
and menthol users show a grow
ing desire for a purely domestic
source.
II all menthol users turned IN
peppermint oil-and the course of
war points to some such action
growers of this speciality will have
added a large new market.
West coast producers account
for 20 per cent of peppermint oil
output. with Oregon and Washing
ton the major growers.
