A--2 MEARS PREPARES TOHOP OFF TODAY Fiyer Speeds to Harhor Grace From New York for Start. By the Associated Press. HARBOR GRACE, Newfoundland, August 2—John Henry Mears, who; twice in a comparatively short lifetime | has broken the round-world time record | only to see it again shattered, was poised here tonight for the longest hop ©f his latest effort, 1,900 miles across the North Atlantic from this airport to the Baldonnel Airdrome at Dublin, Ireland. Mears dropped out of the skies at 1:55 a'clock Eastern Standard Time this afternoon in his red and silver monoplane, the City of New York, after & speedy flight from Roosevelt Ficld, N. Y., in the unusually good time of 8 hours and 15 minutes. The distance was 1,150 miles. Tailwind 2d Goes Along. ‘With him were two passengers, Henry J.

DFTROIT, August 2.—The Detroit News says that it has collected current rumors and theories of what was behind the killing of Gerald E. (Jerry) Buck- ley, radio speaker who attacked the un- derworld and criticized the administra- | tion of Mayor Charles Bowles. The | rumors, the News says, have been col- | lected particularly from “those elements | of society which had reason to fear and | hate Buckley.” | ‘The News asks in s first-page, eight- | column headline, “Who Killed Jerry Buekley and Why?” The first answer, the paper says, comes from the police themselves. In the Fall of 1927, the paper recalls, liquor exportation. from Canada was &t its height and Canadi- ans who were in that business found themselves dealing with the underworld on the American side of the river. Kidnapers turned their attention to the weaithy exporters in Canadian bor- der cities, intending to extort money from them, as they had been dolnl‘ from persons in illegal business in the United States. Canadians, however. were engaged in a legitimate enterprise in their own country and appealed to the law. the News says. Two men, Prank Cammarata and Thomas Lica- voli, were arrested and charged with carrying weapons. ‘The men insisted that they were being “framed,” the News says, in order to forestall kidnaping attempts. There were rumors that they paid $4,000 to “some one” to get them out of trouble, the paper continues, but $10,000 was reported to have been paid to the same person to see that they were convicted. Buckley, who was a lawyer, aided these men, arranging for counsel for them in Windsor. They were convicted and served three vears. Recently there were released. The police announced that THE SUN mity of Detroit Gambling they were seeking associates of these men in connection with the killing. A second theory, the News says, was obtained from a man “close to the big rackets.” This man is quoted as say- |ing that “some one who claimed he had influenced with the new (Bowles) administration” lined up the gamblers | hand-book men and slot-machine agents and told them “they could ‘go’ after the new administration started.” This man is quoted as saying that after spending a great deal of money on equipment, the gamblers found " that they were allowed to run at times, but were raided at others. They blamed this “stop and go” policy, the News says, largely on Buckley, who was “roaring over the radio” whenever the gamblers operated. These gamblers, the unnamed man is quoted as saying, “hated Buckley like poison,” blaming him for the short profit on their illegal investment. A “big gambler” is quoted as saying that the gamblers did not kill Buckley, and that gamblers of Detroit are los- ing $10,000 & day as a result of the raids which came after his death. Along this line the News also says that the bootleggers and rum runners who have borne the brunt of police “tip- overs” since the killing, say they do not know who shot Buckley, but who- ever did it was “the biggest boner in the world.” Another theory, the News says, is that racketeers of the suburb of Hamtramek, alarmed by a statement by Buckley | that he would expose them next, had | him killed. Police Commissioner Thol C. wil- | cox, the News says, answered the ques- tion with a_ statement that while po- lice know the identity of the killers, he was frank to say they do not know the motive.

The police had covered throughout the day the usual haunts of Embrey, who is well known to police, but the youth, if he appeared at any of them, ‘was not recognized by the policemen. The youths now under arrest were the victims of the bravado of one of their number, who gave Gilbert E. Hyatt, jr, the license number of the car they were driving just before they relieved him of the $4,000 pay roll he was carrying and dumped out of ths machine in Rock Creek Park.

About a week ago Detective Murphy, with his running mate, E. F. Lewis, of the thirteenth precinct, were riding along in a police car when they elmed a machine containing two youths whom they wanted to question in connection with housebreaking cases in the thir- teenth precinct. They drove alongside the car and Lewis jumped from the running board of the police car to the brought car of the youths wanted for question- | ing. Instead of stopping, as they were ordered, the youths shoved Lewis from the running board of the machine and sped away. Before Murphy could pick up Lewis and give chase the car had been lost in traffic. Remembers Couple in Car. But Murphy remembered the license number of that machine and when the robbers Priday morning told young Hyatt the number and it was broadcast to all police precincts, Murphy recog- nized it. Murphy also remembered the youths who had been in the car at the time. He says they were Embrey and Carl Davis. Without bothering to see whose name the car was listed in, Murphy reported his deductions to headquarters and Detectives Howard Ogle and Hu- bert Brodie were dispatched on the case. Other threads in the case had entangled Beck and shortly after midnight Beck and Davis were arrested and their al- ‘]%.ed confession was being drawn from em. Detective Ogle found a fight on his hands when he arrested Davis. Po- lice cordons had been placed about both Beck’s and Davis’ homes, and while g:.m-: watched outside Ogle searched vis' room. Davis went into the house unob- gerved by the police waiting outside and found Ogle ransacking his room for evidence. He made a dive for the detective and there followed a rough- and-tumble fight for a few minutes. Hearing the scuffiing, Lewis, who was outside with the police cordon, ran into the house and with his aid Ogle managed to subdue Davis. Davis Served in Reformatory.

DETROIT, August 2.—Police today tightened their hold on & young woman who they say knows the “voice” which lured Jerry Buckley to his death and took another woman into custody for Qquestioning.

He had not been found, but his at- torney, Fred A. Behr, said Hofmann had made “some sort of a statement” to Police Commissioner Thomas C. Wilcox.

By the Associated Press. | ST. HUBERT AIRPORT, Quebec, August 2.—Determined to make their | own repairs without resorting to the! use of the United States Naval Hangar | at Lakehurst, N. J., the crew of the British dirigible R-100 today began the | work of patching the air monarch's| damaged fin. . Unable to use ladders because of the air currents which move the giant ship around despite her ground cables and | mast anchor, the crew is faced with &/ most painstaking task. For a time officials considered taking the R-100 to Lakehurst, where the hangar and equipment would facilitate the repairs. Fabric Laced on Fin. The work of lacing the new piece of fabric over the huge rent will be com- paratively easy, but it is when the work of “doping” the new covering begins that the task becomes dangerous. Men must be swung down from the top of the dirigible to apply glue and paint to the patch. Meanwhile refueling operations were continued and officers estimated that the fin repairs would be completed and the ship ready to sail aloft again with- in three days. The R-100 will visit several™ Canadian cities before she starts on her return trip to Cardington, England. Officers who conducted a_party of newspaper men about the palatial ship today minimized the reports that their craft was in danger Thursday afternoon when she was caught in the storm near Quebec and her fabric damaged. Girls Made Fabric. The repairs were effected by a man lying across the girders inside the envelope, they said, “and there was nothing very difficult about it.” The fabric for the patch was turned out in a Montreal factory by a group | of girl employes, who worked all last night at the task. A dinner party at Montreal, which will bring the state invitation list into use for the first time since the visit of Queen Marie of Rumania, has been planned for the officers and crew of the dirigible August 13. The governor general, lieutenant governor, the pre- mier and his cabinet will be among those invited. J. L. Ralston, minister of national defense, held an official reception for the officers and crew of the R-100 this afternoon in a hangar at the airfield. Rain during part of the day held up repairs to the dirigible, but the refuel< ing operations -were unhampered. | i | | | GREENLAND MAY DENY TRANSATLANTIC PAIR PERMISSION TO LAND { i | | __(Continued From First Page.)

For a while, about 300 men will bs kept aboard the two ships held in reserve for training and target purposes. The possible saving of $4,000,000 this year is a rough estimate based on the fact that it costs $1,000 a year for each man aboard a warship and the cost of $450,000 to $500,000 a year to operate such vessels, exclusive of personnel ex- pense. Whatever saving is thereby effected will cantribute to Pr:sident Hoover's effort to reduce this year's projected expenditures by $200,000,000, if possible, to avoid a tax increase in the next Congress, Although it normally takes about 60 days to lay up a warship, such as one about to undergo extensive repairs, the Navy thinks about 30 days will be enough to dispose of the Utah, Florida ' and Wyoming, since the ordinary pre- cautions of painting and lining the empty bunkers and attending to the machinery will not be required.

Assistant United States | Attorney Collins, on learning of God- dard’s letter last night, expressed the | opinjon that the lie detector plan would not be feasible here in view of a de- cision by Associate Justice Van Orsdel in 1923 that such devices were not ad- missible in court. The court’s decision was rendered in the case of James Alphonzo Frye, con- victed of second-degree murder for the shooting of Robert W. Brown in 1920. In that case it was proposed that Dr. William M. Marston use the “deception tester” on Frye, but the court said: “Just when a scientific principle or discovery crosses the line between the experimental and demonstrable stages is difficult to define. Somewhere in this twilight zone the evidential force of the principle must be recognized, and while courts will go & lon{ way in admitting testimony deduced from a well recog- nized scientific principle or discovery, the thing from which the deduction is made must be sufficiently established to have gained general acceptance in the particular fleld in which it belongs. “We think the systolic blood-pressure deception test (lie detector) has not yet gained such standing , and sclentific I'ng\"-ll‘nl among fn siological and | psychological authorities as would justify | the court in admitting expert testimony deduced from the discovery, develop- ment and experiments thus far made.” Since that decision was made, how- ever, the lie detector as demonstrated by Keeler has been given much tavorable publicity, and has been indorsed not only by Col. Goddard, but by many other criminologists, including August Vollmer, special police adviser to the Hoover Law Enforcement Commission. Vollmer, as chief of police of Berkeley, Calif., made frequent use of the device and declares it “‘never made a mistake.” Col. Goddard has accepted Keeler as a laboratory consultant and the lie de- tector has been installed as part of the university’s crime-detection equipment. Goddard, in conversation with a staff correspondent of The Star in Chicago the past week, remarked that the Baker case was “an ideal one” for major demonstration of the machine, and of- fered to co-operate with the authorities in making use of it. Keeler explained at the time that most objectors to use of the apparatus were unfamiliar with its operation and with its record of infallibility, basing their opinions wholly on conjecture. ‘“Those in who have experimented the laboratory and police departments are convinced the deception tests as now used are of value in ascertal | the guilt or innocence of an individual, and that the possibilities of developing such tests to a most practical basis ate great,” Keeler asserted. Keeler's lie detector measures varia- tlons in blood pressure and respiration and its value is predicated on the knowledge that persons en de- ception react abnormally with regard to blood pressure and breathing.

By the Associated Press. BRIDGEPORT, Conn., August 2— The ppotracted controversy over the tariff, engendered by a coalition-con- | trolled Senate, was advanced tonight by Senator Hiram Bingham as one of | the causes materially contributing to the present business depression. Speaking at the annual banquet of | the John Ericsson Republican League of Connecticut, Senator Bingham said when the power of the Democrats and Progressive Republicans was apparent “credit became frightened, faith in the immediate future lessened, top-heavy stock market crashed and the present business depression began.” Timid Credit Leaders. a Republican Oongress and the calling of an extra session for the considera- tion of farm relief and traff revision affected business favorably rather than adversely, the senior Connecticut Sen- ator said. He pictured business men, particularly those who control the credit situation, as being timid, and this timidity, he said, is due to a nat- ural fear of what might be done in the upper branch of Congress over which a whip hand is held by a group virtually anti-administration. “The action of the coalition of Demo- crats and ives in insisting upon the publication of income tax returns and in repeatedly giving as the reasons for its action on the tariff bill that such-and-such a concern was prosper- ous and had been making money,” he sald, “very naturally destroyed that confidence in the helpfulness and com- mon_sense of the Government which had been so carefully cultivated during the administration of President Cool- idge.” Sees “Rude Awakening.” The manufacturing and industrial world, according to Senator Bingham, received a “rude awakening” when the Democrats, who “had led it to suppose they favored a protective tariff, aban- doned this position when they were offered an opportunity to join the coalition with the Progressives and favored the views of the representa- tives of agriculture rather than the representatives of industry.” “If the Democrats in the Sengte,” he said, “had carried out the intentions they expressed during the campaign of 1928 and voted accordingly, instead of forming the coalition, I believe we could have avoided a large part of the pres- ent business depression.”, JACKSON AND O’BRINE PASS 300-HOUR MARK Flyers, Who Hope to Stay Up 30 Days, Are Near Halfway Point of Two Weeks.
