Walter Wanderwell murder mystery unfolded like a gripping drama today. Grand jury action was threat- ened, members of the crew of Wander- well's yacht, Carma, were forbidden to discuss events preceding the slaying, and a scion of British nobility was ar- Tested. ‘Throughout the developments William James Guy, young Welsh soldier of for- tune, held as a suspect, clung to his alibi he was 30 miles away from the scene of the shooting. . Investigations were climaxed last night by a charge of Police Lieut. Owen Murphy that “certain persons * . have been withholding informatio “Unless this attitude is changed,” he said, “I will demand a grand jury in- vestigation to determine if a conspiracy exists to cover'up evidenc Crew Forbidden to Talk. His charges were followed by an or- der issued by the Long Beach police for- bidding any member of the crew, con- sisting of seven women and eight men, from talking to any one but authorities about the slaying. Shortly before this order was issued Federal authorities requested police to arrest Lord Edward Eugene Fernando Montagu, second son of the Duke of Manchester, British peer, and a member of the Carma crew. He was transferred to the Long Beach Jail. Detectives said they understood Montagu had over- stayed the terms of his visitor's permit 4which allowed him to enter the United Btates.

HAVANA, Cuba, December 9 (#).— The Havana Post said Wednesday that | the high Cuban tariff on cigarettes from the United States has resulted in a thriving bootleg traffic in which sm glers trade cigarettes for liquor, whic! in turn, is smuggled into the United States. | “Powerful bootlegging interests,” the paper said, “deliver 150,000 cartons or more of United States cigarettes in Cuba every year, obtaining in exchange rum and whisky to nourish similar, but even more vicious gangs in the United States.” A Cuban tariff of ‘“almost 1,000 per cent” on the cigarettes is re- sponsible, the Post declared.

ENAMEL DRESSER SET STAR, WASHINGTON, THREE RESENTS WNES AT SESSON Mrs. Hoover, Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Taft at Red Cross Meeting. For perhaps the first time at & Red Cross session three President’s wives met and chatted together yesterday at a meeting of the National Committee of Volunteer Service. Mrs. Hoover was at the Red Cross headquarters for an hour and a half, evincing her usual interest in the pro- ceedings, and chatted pleasantly for a while_with Mrs. Woodrow Wilson and Mrs. William Howard Taft. All three are members of the committee. Borrows Mrs. Wilson's Glasses. When Judge John Barton Payne, Red Cross chairman, began to read a report on making cotton clothing for the needy, he stopped short and said: “I'm_sorry, but I can't read this, ladies, T've forpotten my glasses.” Mrs. Wilso™, long-time friend of the judge, who cerved as Secretary of the Interior in her husband's cabinet, smiled and said: “Here, use mine, un- less they are too old for you.” Judge Payne then borrowed Mrs. Wil- son’s glasses, and through them read to the group of notable women around the Red Cross table facts on how 150,- 000 women, organized all over the Na- mately three and a half million needy families. Miss Mabel Boardman, committee chairman, told the group Mrs. Hoover had visited the District of Columbia Chapter and had seen the volunteer print dresses and substantial shirts for school children. Mrs. Hoover Sews. “Mrs. Hoover even aided by sitting at a machine herself,” sald Miss Board- man. The President’s wife then laughingly explained that on visiting the sewing |room to watch the workers, she had been attracted to a machine not in use among the busy stitchers. “I found out that the reason they weren't using that machine was be- cause it wouldn't run,” said Mrs. Hoo- ver, “but being a better mechanic than I am a seamstress, I made it work. It was remarkable, however, how many rts were missing from that machine. Samples of the cotton goods being made by the Red Cross into garments for the needy from Government-owned | cotton_were passed around the table and Mrs. Hoover, Mrs, Taft and Mrs. Wilson inspected them with interest.

RAIL REPLAGEMENT WORK HELD VITAL Financing New Equipment Would Aid Prosperity, Coolidge Group Told. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, Deecember 9.—The question of railroad progressiveness in keeping the equipment up-to-the-min- ute was threshed out before the Cool- idge National Transportation Commit- in the third day of its! rry A. Wheeler of Chicago, presi- dent of the Railway Business Associa- tion, told the committee the steady aging of railroad equipment made it imperative that means of more rapid replacement be devised. A long step would be taken back toward restoring prosperity, he said, if the roads could be financed in replac- ing worn out equipment. As representatives for the railway equipment manufacturers, Wheeler ques- tioned whether larger track main- tenance expenditures could be longer deferred. “Some plan should be devised so that railroad property can be kept up, and to provide for greater safety for lives. Railroad property is steadily growing older in average age. Present replace- ments are not sufficient to keep that | average down.” H> recalled that the American Rail- way Acsociation in 1930 condemned the so-called arch-bar type of railroad car as unsafe, and ruled that these cars to the number of 600,000 should be re- placed with stronger cars of the steel- side t; It gave the rcads until 1936 to replace and re-equip the arch-bar cars or otherwise they would be ruled off the rails. Continuation of this pro- gram, which has been deferred, during the depression, would take three years to complete and would throw an enor- mous amount of work to many indus- tries, Wheeler explained. In answer to a question, he said he thought consolidation was “a practical and desirable thing,” but added that consolidation without proper co-ordina- | tion of the railroads with trucks and | ‘ather transportation forms would “still be a hodgepodge.” Alexander Legge. a member of the committee, asked if in Wheeler's opin- jon the roads had been less progressive in modernizing equipment than other industries like the motor and steel companies. “The railroads are fully aware of all transportation improvements that are being made,” said Wheeler. “But there never has been an adequate scheme of depreciation worked out for the roads. “The question involves not only & policy as to proper writing off of obso- lete equipment, but also where the money is to come from to finance the purchase of new equipment. There is no more important question than that of depreciation which your committee can take up.” Representatives of railroad labor are expected to present their case when their conferences at Chicago terminate, Coolidge announced at today's session. tra for Credit Terms Never have Christmas Gift Dia- monds been priced so low—and never were terms easier—thanks to the nation-wide Kay orgas tion.
