His advice is often sought by the police of many cities when confronted with particularly baffiing cases. ‘This problem has been taken from his case- book covering hundreds of criminal investi- eations. ] At 2:25 am. the lights sud- denly went out and a few sec- onds later a shot was heard by every one there.

Murphy's two guests ‘were beauti- ful Barpara Doug- las and Jerome Ccolige, interna- tionally famous polo player. Barbara and Coolige stated they had noticed Wil- liam Matson sit- ting alone at a table near theirs; that just after the lights went out they heard the thud of Murphy's body falling on the table, a few sec- onds later heard a shot and saw the flash of Matson's gun. This was con- firmed by people at nearby tables. Matson claimed he had seen an ene- my in the doorway reaching for his hip and had fired at his. This was in the opposite direction to Murphy's table. No one admitted touching the body. With the doctor’s consent, Fordney lifted the dead man, ripped open his shirt and after examining the wound observed the pale face and composed countenance. Also evidences of poison- ing. After grilling Matscn, Inspector Kel- ley turned to the professor and said, “Matson’s story is bunk. He bumped off Murphy alright.” “I don't think so,” replied Fordney. “Murphy was shot after death. He was first poisoned—probably by hydrocyanic acid.

By the Assoclated Press. President Roosevelt expressed his; word came to him of the victory-of the American delegation in continuing . the London Economic Conference, and turned today with redoubled effort w the mobilization of the domestic re- covery campaign. . As word was brought to him of the decision at London to go ahead, but with monetary and tariff matters off the agenda, the Chief Executive ap- peared pleased, but made no publc | comment. He was the recipient of congratulations at the White House. “Their bluff was called,” said Senator Wheeler of Montana after a conference with the President. He said he praised Mr. Roosevelt upon the strength of his stand against immediate monetary stabilization. Depends on Newspapers. dent depended upon newspaper reporis on the developments at London, al- though he was said to have communi- cated earlier with Chairman Hull of the American delegation. Pending officia: word of the most recent activities Mr. mt velt decided to withhold com- ment. So long as the conference is alive the President is represented in high quar- | ters as determined to achieve progress toward bettering economic conditions throughout the world. Nevertheless, he was engaged most busily yesterday in improving conditions at home, ‘and a series of White House conferences during the day were focused on the domestic situation. Of principal interest was a lengthy conference on credit policies and Fed- eral finaxice, attended by Eugene Black, governor of the Federal Reserve Board, and JJean Acheson, Acting Secretary of the TTreasury. Mr. Roosevelt is commanding the | drive to boost prices and wage levels to approximately the 1924-25 average. Whether any new steps toward more inflation or for a curbing of the present inflation were decided upon at the White House conference was not revealed. Sees “Perfect Harmony.” Gov. Black would say only that the policies had been discussed and that “perfect harmony” existed between the President and the Federal Reserve Board on past and contemplated future policies. He disclosed that the Federal Reserve | System had bought up approximately “3125.000,000 of Government securities | in the open market during the last five weeks. This move was the first and only one taken thus far by the admin- istration under the inflation powers granted to it by Congress. Until the true domestic purchasing power of this and other nations has been determined Mr. Roosevelt was rep- | resented as believing it futile to at- | tempt to stabilize national currencies in the international exchange. No par- | ticular concern was apparent here last | night, therefore, because monetary | stabilization had been removed from the | immediate agenda of the London Con- | ference. | _As for the exclusion of the subject | of tariff from the conference agenda, ! there was no comment. Mr. Roosevelt had_advocated and wants reciprocal tariff agreements with the other na- During much of yesterday the Presi- N | tions. He can obtain these bilateral treaties with the other powers without the necessity of any joint action by the London pariey. Mr. Roosevelt did not even ask Con- | gress for authority to raise or lower tariff duties, although he had contem- plated taking this step. He feels he can act independently and separately with the other nations on treaties subject to congressional ratification. | ORDERED TO KENTUCKY | Col. Dana T.

LONDON, July 7.—The prospect of producing serum to make humans immune to influenza has been brought nearer by the dis- covery that ferrets can be in- fected with the influenza virus. ‘The announcement of the find- ing was made in part by news- papers recently, and today re- ceived confirmation by the Lan- cet, journal of British Medical men, which names as discover- ers three doctors, Wilson Smith, C. H. Andrews and P. P. Laidlaw. The inability heretofore of finding an animal susceptible to “fu” infection hindered experi- ments, but the ferret, a small, weasel-like animal, came to the Tescue. ‘Tests confirmed the belief that influenza is partly due to a germ that can pass through filters from which scientists hops to prepare an effective serum.
