Con- | nors came here from New York, arriving in the 500 block of Twelfth street shortly after midnight. Connors requested a stranger to d(-l rect him to a good hotel. The man suf gested one on Eleventh street and Con- nors was walking that way when an automobile drew up alongside, contain- ing & white man and a colored com- panion. While the white man covered Connors the accomplice went through the visitor's pockets, extracting the billfold. They then took Conrors' suit case and drove awhy. Connors, reporting the affair to po- lice, supplied them with the first two numbers of the automobile license, and detectives today were trying to trace the car. HEART BALM SUIT NEARS CONCLUSION fangdon Claims Notes Given 0'Brien to Save Film Career of Former, By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, June 24 —With only 8 few more witnesses to be heard, Thomas J. O'Brien’s suit to collect $1 500 alleged heart balm from Har Langdon, film comedian, neared a climax today. O'Brien, who accused Langdon of alienating the affections of the for- mer Mrs. O'Brien, now Mrs. Langdon, sought to recover the sum on two notes given him by the comedian. Langdon contended the notes were given, not as 8 love-theft settlement, but to prevent O'Brien from filing a $250,000 aliena- tion suit. Benjamin Walton, brother of Mrs. Langdon, testified O'Brien boasted he hsd only to publish charges and Lang- don’s screen career would be ruined. Langdon said he gave O'Brien $15,000 cash and the notes involved in the puesent suit because he was afraid O'Brien’s threatened alienation suit would injure his screen standing.

NEW YORK, June 24—A safety wood which exhales its own fire ex- tinguisher was exhibited here yesterday by Prof. Albin H: Beyer of the Colum- bia University testing laboratories. A 2-inch-thick door of the wood held back smcke and flames six times as long as aid a metal-covered dcor. The protective moisture is a secret chemical preparation, Dr. Beyer ex- plained, whicn is produced right on the skin of the wood. It is like glue, and is made by the touch of the flames com- b’:;:g with chemical soaked into the wood. ‘Wet Skin Retards Fire. ‘The wet skin retards fire, which, how- ever, eats it off slowly, leaving a charred black film. As soon as this top skin is eaten, though, a new layer forms under- neath use the chemicals impregnate affected at any oné moment. They ex- plode at touch of flames, throwing out tiny sprays. The test was conducted for Henry Klein, manufacturer, who invented the process. The metal-covered and the wooden doors were set in the sides of a large furnace, the flames licking their interior faces. The metal-covered door quickly be- came untouchably hot, passing 100 de- grees in about three minutes and pass- ing the boiling point of water in about the wood completely. Only the topmost | layer of molecules, said Prof. Beyer, are | 'FIRE-EXTINGUISHING WOOD WINS | G. 0. P.

In the metal-covered door after 10 minutes smoke poured through the | joints in heavy clouds and flames ap- | peared. The wooden door held back | both smoke and flames for a full hour | until it was less than one-eighth of an | inch thick. Prof. Beyer said the duration of fire | resistance depends partly on the amount lof chemical absorbed, and that within one to two hours, resistance to flames ,may be fixed quite accurately in ad- | vance by gauging the amount. He said the door used came from wood processed for about four and a half months, first by air drying, then kiln drying, soaking and finally air drying.
