ASKED TO TRY SWIM ON PACIFIC Wiliam Wrigley, Jr., Offers Cham- plon $5,000 for Another Venture. CHICAGO, August 12 (#).—An of- fer of $5.000 dollars to Gertrude Ederle for an attempt to swim the channel between Catalina Islind and the Call- fornia. mainland was made through the Chicago Tribune today by Wil- liam Wrigley, jr.. Chicago chewing gum magnate. The channel is about 23 miles wide at its most approachable points, us braad as the English Channel, where Miss Ederle crossed, and considerabiy less rough. The sum, Wrigley informed the newspaper from Los Angeles, would be sufficient to underwrite all ex- penses for the coast trip and training, with the balance a ‘“merited reward to America’'s greatest swimmer, whether she succeeds in the Catalina swim or not.” ‘It is only fair that this trlumph should wait for the wonderful New York girl and be a strictly American triumph,” he declared. He said the time of the aitempt would be left to Ederle’s choice, but suggested the stm as sultable, BUST OF CHAMPION PLANNED s holidays Tribute at Cape Gris-Nez Like That 3 for Capt. Webb Proposed.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 12.— With one identification already against him, police directed their efforts today toward establishing conclusively that Philip H. Brown, now in custody of Santa Barbara authorities, is the “dark strangler” who murdered four women in three California cities. The one identification of Brown was made at San Fernando, Los Angeles County, last night by William J. Fra- ney, a roundhouse fireman, who de- clared positively that the prisoner was the man he saw struggling with Mrs, Ollle B. Russell in Santa Bar- bara, June 24, shortly before the wom- an was found dead. Held on Murder Charge. Franey told officers that although he saw the struggle he did not realize at the time that a murder was taking place. He saild that he obtained a good view of the man and could not be mistaken in his identification. Brown arrived in Santa Barbara early today to face additional attempts at identification. He was placed in jail on a murder warrant. Charles Dullea, San Franelsco homicide squad, and Merton Newman, a nephew of Miss Clara Newman, an elderly apartment house owner, who was the first vietim of the strangler, are en route to Santa Barbara in an effort to identify Brown. Brown was turned over to District Attorney Clarence Ward and Chief of Police Lester Desgrandchamps of San- ta Barbara yesterday by Sheriff Wal- ter A. Shay of San Bernardino, who brought the prisoner from Needles. Statements Conflict. Although apparently wishing to aid officers in every way possible, Brown has made numerous conflicting state- ments, some of which are point-blank denials of previous admissions attrib- uted to him. He remembered only in & hazy way the details of his alleged attack: It _has been definitely ORIENTAL BUILD- ING ASSOCIATION NO. 6 600 F St. N.W.

Mrs. Irene Stanaitis, 724 Ingraham street, committee of the estate of her father, Abraham I. Jacobs, insane, yesterday filed a petition in the Dis- trict Supreme Court asking that an anticipated request for the release of her father from St. Elizabeth's be denied. The petitioner tells the court that a stranger has become interested in her father's affairs and is about to request his release as cured. The daughter attaches an affidavit of Dr. Harry J. Crawford that the father, who is 74 years old, is suffering from arterio-sclerotic dementia and is not able to care for his business affairs. The daughter states that the stranger, who 1is not named, is interested only in the father's money, of which he has $6,000. Attorney James A. Burns appears for the daughter. P T Goes on Retired List.
