Casper Sunday Mornin And WYOMING WEEKLY REVIEW gy Cribune’ eo UPNOS CAUGHT TRYING. , TOHIDE BODY Swift Vengeance of East Cost | White Girl Life; Lozado | Arrested In New York | BY HAZEL ROSS. (United Press Staff Correspondent.) New York, June 9.—Swift, unrea- soning vengeance of the east, cost Blossom Martin her life. The diminu- tive Filipino who sttangled her to death with his bare hands, was cap- tured as he sought to hurl her body into the bay, disclosed tonight. Eulogio Lozado, native of Uncle Sam's farthest eastern possession, a man-servant who lived but could not win a daughter of the west, told 24 hours after the gruesome crime that shocked New York that jealousy and unréquitetd passion were the motives forthe sensational murder. ‘When arrested, as he was about to throw overboard from a ferry a hugs, brown paper parcel containing the crumpled body of Miss Martin. Lozado confessed to the slaying but intimated e and the dead girl had been sweet- and that he killed her because e insisted he marry her. hat he now declares to be the true story brings into the case the name of wealthy Manhattan shoe deal- er, with whom Blossom Martin is said to have ved for two years as man and wife. She was employed as assist- ant in the office of Dr. George B. McAuliffe, whose servant was Lo- zado. The Filipino lcved the. attractive western girl—a hopeless love, appar: ently, for she is said by other em: ployes of the ‘doctor to have flunted Yozado's love in his yellow face, and to have taunted him in the presence of others. With the stoicism of his race, be- bore the jibes of the girl, but’ last night; peering from behind a cur- tain, he witnessed the farewell em- brace of the girl and her white lover. In all the torture of his unrequited love for Miss Martin, Lozado’s im- agination never had encomparsed the thought of another man, Something ped in his brain; he become at fea demon and a schemer. His infatuation “drove him to ac- cuse the girl when she alighted from her sweetheart’s car, and to press bis suit anew. Her scornful rebuke infur- fated him, and when he found himself alone in the house with her, lured her to his room and attempted an attack upon her. She ran from him down the stairs to the kitchen, where she picked up a knife and shouted to him: “If you come any nearer, I'll kill you. ‘The wiry little Filipino leaped at here disarming her and clasped his hands about her throat, holding her in this position for half an hour, ac- cording to his story. When he loosen- ed his hold. she dropped to the floor ead. s Tozado then tied her hands and fect, bent her body almost double and wrapped a green portiers about the hor, and wrapped the whole in brown Pane carried the bundle to the corner of Highty-seventh street and Central Park west where he hailed a taxicab put the bundle in, and drove to the Staten Island ferry. The boat was just pulling out of the slip, when he at- empted to hurl the body overboard. A taxt driver who had driven to Staten Island, became suspicious and called to people on the boat, who over- powered the Filipino and partly un- wrapped the bundle, Cisclosing Miss Martin's head, Letters from Lozado to the girl were found in her effectts. These, written in stiff, flowery English, de- clared he was “in a terrible dilemma ever since I met you,” and that he had selected her to be his wife. “All night sometimes I could not weep for thinking of you,” he wrote. “Please be merciful, and usp the best judgment in my favor. Pl don't tarry in answering this letter in order that I may be free from mental, and physical disturbance. 2 “T love you ever since, but I am waiting for the time to mature’ to re veal to you the supreme sacrifice I am having at present.” He added, pathetically, “this ts pro- bably the poorest and most despised letter you ever received.” ‘After three hours grilling Friday night by Captain Carey of the homt- cide squad, Lozado stuck to his con- feasion, declaring he had killed the girl during an angry quarrel, when she refused to marry him. Later, however, he broke down and told about the rival. sebksec J Mec ae ee WILDCAT WELL PRODUCES 24,000 BARRELS OF OIL, BRISTOW Okla., June 9.—Drilling to a deeper sand than the surround: ing wells, a MAIN NEWS SECTION “WILD JNO.” HERE TO DO BEST HE CAN Two characters that have never been out of the picture during the final days of the preparation for the Rodeo fight card but whom the majority of the fans were unable to place, were “Wild Jno. Reilly” and “Silent Jack” Tierney. “Wild Jno.” as he has been unl- versally dubbed by the New York sport writers from Park Row to Longacre Square, is the world’s champion fight fo'lower. Al- th ugh not as we!l known as on Broadway, his stnmp!ng ground. Reilly is recognized in every city from coast to coast where the fight game flourishes. The columns of feature stuff that has been written on “Wild Jno.” in New York by writers from Damon Runyon and Bat Hasterson on down, would fill @ small sized library. There hasn't been an important fight in years that Reilly has not attended. Many and sundry attempts hay so far failed to “make” Reilly's “racket.” It is generally conced- ed that he took $30,000 out of To- ledo at the time of the Dempsey- Willard scrap. It is further re- ported that during the week pre- vious to the Criqu!Ki'bane fight in New York he sold the rights to Harding's world court for a neat sum, He is now in conference with the Midwest company relative to selling them Section 36 at Salt Creek. “Silent Jack" Tierney, a light- weight scrapper near the top of the heap 10 years ago, bobs up quite regularly when the big bouts are about to come off. He earned his nomme-de-plume by the fact that the only time he was silenced long enough to take a deep breath was the first time he sme!led Im- burger cheese. “Silent Jack’ and “Wild Jno.” are on thelr way to Shelby and stopped off in Casper a few days to take in the Smith ‘Puryear melee. WISCONSIN NOW TO REPEAL ORY LAW 1S. REPORT Repealer Similar to One Ef- fected In New York Is Likely In LaFollette State MADISON, Wis., June 9.—(United Press).—Anti-prohibition forces seek- ing repeal of the state dry enforce- ment act in the legislature will proba, bly compromise A repeal referen- dum, the United Press was informed tonight. A repealer similar to the one effec- tive in New York has been approved for engrossment by the Wisconsin as- semb!y and final passage in the lower house is declared assured by a narrow margin. The “conservative” senate is relied upon to kill it as too drastic. Senator John C, Schumann, wine and beer advocate, declared he hopes to get the repealer through the senate by amending it to provide for a refer- endum by Wisconsin's 1,000,000 voters before it becomes effective. GERMANY GETS SCARE; BRITISH TROOPS GATHER All the Joy Taken Out of Passive Resistance by Mob- ilization of Forces BY GUS M. OEM. United Press Staff Correspondent. BERLIN, June 9%.—Germany re ceived a real scare today—one that took all the joy out of passive resist- ance and set government circles agog with nervous rumors—when reports came from Dusseldorf that British eavalry, infantry and artillery had entered that city. Immediately officials jumped at the assumption—Great Britain is go. ing to take part in the invasion of the Ruhr, Anxious inquiries were in- stituted at British headquarters at Co'ogne. The reply brought considerable re. Nef; one British and one Belgian bat- tery had entered Dusseldorf for the purpose of participating in the horse show which will last until next Tues day. Government quarters tonight as- sumed that th!s explanation cleared the movement of mystery but many officials still are not positive that this may not be the beginning of British participation in the Ruhr ven- ture. While the movement was as yet unexpiained, the Germans had it that the British were to take over the southern part of the Ruhr valley, the French and Belgians to move up into the northern part of the rich in- dustrial region, * A day of tremendous excitement was relieved by the explanation, but another report—that the French were preparing to evacuate Nettig and Werden between Dusseldorf and Ks- sen—l some runiors alive.’ By CARL D. GROAT. (United Press Staff Correspondent.) BERLIN, June 9.—Aware of efforts on the part of Premier Poincare of France to have the allies demand Germany to ease all resistance in the Ruhr, the German government tonight gave every indication its answer would be flat refusal. Chancellor Cuno, who in a speech at Munster, declared resistance will go on, returned to the capital this evening and received an enthusiastic reception Some of those in the throng that cheered the chancellor wanted the government to go even further, A representative of the national- istic juvenile group demanded that Cuno “cease negotiations and under- take deeds.” The demand was ac- companied by an offer to convert passive into active resistance. Dr. Kreuckmann, conservative leader, addressed a little speech to Cuno at the station. ‘ “Youth, standing here,” he said, indicating stalwart members of the Juvenile group, who crowded around, expresses the wish that you become hard. Those standing here are the backbone of the people, prepared at any time to turn from the sive to the active. They are prepared to devote not only their property, but their freedom, their families and thelr lives to such a cause. The gov. ernment already has negotiated and surrendered too much. “We know we are standing with our backs to the wall. The whole German people are in the same fix. There can be “no going backward. Retreat is impossible. Deeds unite people. Rescue them. We await deeds.” MAYORALTY AND COUNGIL RACE OF BOY SCOUTS BETO. UNDER WAY Post, Nichols and Hacker Are Candidates for Mayorship; Youthful City Dad Possi- bilities Also Announced. The campaign for the election of boy scouts who are to govern the city of Casper from 2 until 5 p. m., June 27, re- ceived added impetus last night when the three youths who are to run in the mayoralty race were brought together with their campaign managers for a discussion of the contest. The candidates for the mayorship include Maurice Post (Citizen's ticket), Rolland K, Nichols (American ticket), and Waine Hacker (Progressive ticket). Their campaign managers are George Jarvis, H.

EXODUS OF | SANDBAR FOLK HERE The exodus of the undesirables is taking place, and the males and females that have inhabited Cas- ber’s underworld are seeking other quarters, greater fields for their endeavors and a free place in which to move around in without being on the constant lookout for the law. With the arrest during the past fortnight of many men anc) wo- men of doubtful social status and even more doubtful occupation by the police department of Casper, there have been many requests by those arrested for invitations out of the city, They have declared themselves willing in some cases to take the box car line, In others they have impatiently awaited a one-way ticket which might be handed them by charitable friends. Chief of Police Nisbet does nat say that Casper is being “cleaned up." He does not even declare that a grand (reformation is taking place. Nor is there any particular reason for the feformers to throw their hats into the air and shout hallelujah. Yet it fe a fact that a number of women who have been plying doubtful trades and many men who have been living by money that comes from an invis- ible source have gone on a sight- seing tour to other places than Casper. COWBOY SOUGHT IN TAYLON GAGE AFTER 2 YEARS “Otis Heffner” Is Man Want- ed In Old Slaying of Movie Director _SEATTLE, Wash., June 9—One more effort was in progress tonii\t to answer the riddle of the murder o* Wiljiam Desmond Taylor, movie di- rector, which took place two years ago in Los Angeles. Police of a half dozen coast towns and cities were searching for a “six foot, Texas cowboy,” named Otis Heft. ner, in the belief that he may be the man who ho'ds the answer to the mystery, which had gone down as one of the most sinister in the annals of crime. Heffner-is at liberty from the Wash- ington penitentiary under a suspend- ed sentence for alleged felony. Since he dropped from sight some weeks ago authorities here said they had come into reliable information that a bond and a diamond which h was said to have offered Crawford B, White, attorney as a retainer, once were the property of the murdered Taylor. Searching deeper into the lanes opened by this information they came into possession of a story Heffner is alleged to have told of a gang of ban djts—accounts differ as to whether there were three or five in the band —one of whom is alleged to have mur. dered and robbed Taylor. Which means, that if this account should prove true, then all of the sen sational stories which surround the death of the movie man; the tales of motion picture actresses enamoured of him; of drug peddlers killing him in revenge for the vigorous blows he is known to have struck at their trade; of blackmail; of unfaithful servants; of hands reaching out of an adven- turous past to settle old debts; and of all countless other stories were blazoned to the wor!d to no purpose and without bearing on the case. As for Heffner, he ts not himself suspected of the murder, but accord ing to Matt Starwich, sheriff( Thomas Carmodq, deputy prosecutor and At- torneys Crawford E. White and George Olson, he may be able to tell who it was that shot Taylor to death, Five desperate, drug crazed bandits crept through the window of Taylor's Hollywood mansion, forced him to de liver to them thousands of dollars worth of securities, cash and liberty bonds and when he sat down at his desk to write a check, one of the bandits fired’ a shot into his brain and fled, according to Heffner's pur- ported statement to the attorney. Tay!or, who was known as one of the greatest of the makers of popular motion pjctures, was shot to death at his home in Los Angeles, one evening two years ago. Last seen he was bid- ding goodby to Mabel Normand, in front of his home. 2 The sensation which followed has seldom been equalled in a criminal case.

CMI 9/496 ENTENTE SEEKS AGREEMENT ON GERMAN ISSUE | | | | |Premier Poincare Makes Rep-| aration Advance; Wires | i { Burning With Messages BY LLOYD ALLEN. (United Press Staff Correspondent.) LONDON, June 9. — Germany, by! her latest unsatisfactory reply regard- ing reparations, has succeeded in uniting— temporarily at ‘least— the allies who parted company on the sub- ject of war payments the first week | of January this year. It is Premier Poincare of France, who forced the break at the confer-| ence of premiers in Paris five months ago, who has made the advance, Fol- | lowing a suggestoin of his that the, next note to Germany on the repara- tions be a joint ond, wires burned to-] night between London, Brussels, Paris and Rome as the entente agree- ment upon the form of the document shou!d take. Final agreement among the allied powers is, of course, by no means cer- tain, but it is believed that Poincare will succeed with Baldwin where once he failed with Bonar Law, and that Britain will sign the joint reply. Conversations were started today among (iplomats at Rome, Paris, Brussels and London, and there were Indications of progress which may re- sult in the forthcoming allied note being ready by Wednesday. Premier Poincare today notified France's allies that the joint reply Ler MAIN NEWS SECTION BRITAIN TO FIX BOOZE CAPACITY SOUTHAMPTON, England, June 9.—Last of the round trip boozo ships, the mighty Mauretania sailed today with enough Scotch and other drinks to supply pas- sengers and crew on this and the return journey. When tho Tyrrhenia sails for New York on Monday she will carry “just enough liquor to last until the American three mile limit is reached.” This amount is to be gauged by the prospective passengers them- selves. Each has been given a form to fill out, stating how much he, or she expects to drink while crossing. The liquor must be Paid for in advance. Such, temporarily at least, is Britains bow to the new concep- tion of the Volstead act. PARIS, June 9.—Still hoping for concessions regarding liquor, the French cabinet decided today to continue negotiations with Washington until the last possible moment—June 10. If no conclu- sion satisfactory to France is reached by Sunday night, French vessels will throw overboard what Mquor they have upon reaching the three mile limit, it has been semi-officlally announced. COLORADO FLOOD shoud be a mere notification to Ger- many that passive resistance must gense. He is willing, it<Britaln will join. in such a command, to serap his pre- vious ideas on reparations and invite the ‘closest ‘co-operation of Stanley Baldwin and Mursolint in drawing up a new schedule of payments. But first and foremost, Poincare declared, France an¢i Belgium must reap the reward of their Ruhr venture. They cannot afford to leave the nowly in- vaded areas without being paid. The British cabinet is belleved to be inclined to approve Poincare’s sug- gestion that the next nots be a joint one, Strongest dissatisfaction was ex- pressed here the last time. when France and Belgium started their note without consulting Britain and Italy. If the allies make their note a de- mand that the Cuno government can- cel its orders for resistance, Poincare points out, they will have, left the way open for all sides to advance new proposals regarding payments.

Fifty or more women have been dxhibited before Mrs. Tesmer, the widow, since the shooting and she failed to identify any of them. She reiterated tonight that she would know the “right one’ by a peculiar smile and blue eyes impressed upon her mind as she saw her husband shot down.

Snow fell in parts of Colorado. Small streams and rivers, swollen into raging torrents after 48 hours of torrential rains flooded a number of Kansas towns, and rural communi- ues, driving residents from their homes and inundating tthousands of acres of rich farm lands. Railroad service in southwestern Kansas, was at a virtual standstill and many towns were cut off from outside communication with wire and telephone seryice paralyzed. Four square miles of Wichita, Kan., were reported inundated tonight, mu nicipal officia’s who are organizing emergency relief squads, estimated that the damage in that vicinity alone would total $500,000 dollars. Residents at Pittsburg, Kan., re ported they saw a body floating down the Spring river which has overflow: ed its banks flooding streets and near- by farm tands, At Dunlap, Kan., a stream of wa- ter two feet deep was rushing through the main business streets.

WAAY'S CAR IG FOUND BY LOCAL POLICE FORGE Auto Taken From the Rodeo Ground Friday Night Is Recovered The vigilance of the Casper police force during the past week in watch- ing @ group of persons who were sus- pected of being automobile thieves re- ceived a’ satisfactory climax Friday night when members of the police foree by trailing the suspects found the stolen car of Pete /Wray’s in their Possession even before Mr. Wray himself had notified headquarters. Mr. Wray's car was parked at the Rodeo grounds Friday night and was taken from its parking place pre- sumably by the persons who are undef arrest. It was driven into Cas- per and was concealed near the Biederman Coal company’s office on East C street while the new “owners” went back to the Henning hotel to get their baggage. When they returned to the car they were arrested. Those who made up the party included a man by the name of McCarthy, Art Braish, Mr. and Mrs. B. EB. Brahm. Braish has been in the hands of the law twice before, once for peddling dope and on another. count for an alleged car theft. The men arrested finally confessed, with the exception of Brahm, to }the taking of the car. It is under- stood that Mr. Wray's car, which is a Paige, was not the machine which | they intended to obtain, but that the real object of their watchfulness was a Cadillac. The four members of the party had Jalready checked their baggage to Salt Lake City, and were intending to leave immediately for that point Alexander Nisbet, chief of police, |stated last night that reports are being received from many different |places regarding stolen cars. A double vigilance in the matter is con- sequently maintained. Since the shutting down of drilling operations in Oklahoma and Kansas oil flelds, many persons are said to be taking stolen cars out of those points. The natural objective of such people would be Salt Creek where there is possibility of work in the line they major in, The men arrested Friday night will receive a preliminary hearing tomor-. row and will probably be bound over to the district court. exonefated today. Mrs. Tesmer failed to identify two and the other, known ag “the female Tommy O'Connor” (young man) proved an alibi, wesndes OS E FOUR LADIES OF COLOR ARE NABBED BY CITY ON VAGRANGY CHARGE ON BAR Four colored women were arrested by the police department Friday and assessed fines and given jail sen tences by Judge John A.
