LOUISVILLE, Ky., October 22— The jockey who rode Omaha to a thrilling victory in the 1935 Ken- tucky Derby, dapper little wxl]er “Smoky” Saunders, today was named by Louisville police as one of two| men they wanted to question nbout‘ an after-the-party slaying of a young Louisville married woman The second man has not been iden- tified. Police in Baltimore, where Saun-| ders has gone to ride in races at| Laurel Park, went to Saunders’ ho(elI early today to question him, but the Jockey had gone. D. B. Headley, whose uncle, Hal| Price Headley of Lexington, Ky., holds Saunders’ riding contract, expressed the belief that Saunders was on his | ‘way back to Louisville. Body Found in Road. Headley, staying at another Bal-| timore hotel, said he telephoned Saun- ders and advised him he was wanted | for questioning in the slaying of Mrs. Evelyn Sliwinski, year-old wife of a Louisville tailor, whose mangied body, crushed by automo bile wheels, was found in a road early Sunday. “I advised him to go back and see| what it's all about,” Headley said “No, he didn't seem bothered about 6. 0 Saunders and his booking agent, E. “Whitey” Danenhauer, arrived in Baltimore late yesterday and reg- istered at a hotel there. Louisville police were informed that Saunders, Danenhauer, and a third | man, known to acquaintances here only as “the Dago,” left Louisville early Sunday morning in an auto- mobile. | Officers were checking up to deter- mine whether “the Dago” fitted the description of the second man they wanted in the case. Woman Tells of Party. | The party that preceded the slay- ing was related to police by Mrs, Agatha Mackison, 28, who identified & photograph of Saunders as that of Mrs. Sliwinski's companion on the Saturday night party.

This is the second in a series of four daily stories om the Van Sweringens and the men who helped them “come back.” BY CHARLES NORMAN. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 22—Destiny —the destiny that rules over the empire of railroads—took a hand when the Van Sweringen brothers, still in their twenties, purchased the Shaker Heights development outside of Cleveland. Lack of transit facilities had kept the city’s realtors from turning an interested eye on those remote acres. But Oris Paxton and Mantis James Van Sweringen built the necessary bridge when they came to it. The Cleveland Railway Co. at first | was not interested in an extension to serve Shaker Heights. But, guar- anteed right of way and the first five | years’ interest on the cost of the ex- tension, it went ahead. Buy $8,500,000 Railroad. By 1916, more service was necessary. The Nickel Plate road, which already | was offered and they to the Van Sweringens bought it—for $8,500.000. The brothers did not have millions in the bank, but they could get them.| They had the confidence of business | men in a position to help, and help! they did when confronted by the Van | Sweringen personality. By 1919 they had so consolidated position that they launched plans for a railroad terminal worthy of Cleveland’s importance, and it was constructed in the public square. Fighting shy of the attendant pub- licity, they vetoed all plans for civic celebration. One night the finished 52-story edifice was dark; the next day it was aglow, a busy center of the city's life It was a gesture.

And that was how Oris Paxton came to beard J. P. Morgan in his Wall Street den—and came out friend and client. Thereafter the “boy wonders” be- came adult wizards, where railroading was concerned. They built a railroad empire that thrust its gleaming steel tentacles over the country. For a time it even seemed that they would realize the old dream of America’s railroad pioneers—of a line stretching from the Atlantic to the Pacific—a dream over which experienced railroad men shook their heads dubiously. The Van Sweringens bought into the Chesapeake & Ohio . . . into the Erie . . . the Pere Marquette . . . they bought into smaller roads, all links for their system, the nucleus of a railroad octopus. Under the Van Sweringen acgis the securities of these roads soared and the Van Sweringen for- tune soared with them. $100,000,000 Wealth. In 1929 their mutual wealth was estimated at $100,000,000. Not only rallroads, but coal mines, street car lines, trucking companies, real estate, came under their control, and from their adjoining offices in the terminal tower which they had bullt they could look out upon a vast domain that represented the largest per- sonally controlled railroad system in the country.
