EXPECT ARRESTS IN PHILA, MURDER CASE today Man and Woman Wanted in Connec- tion With Peirce Killing Trailed to Wheeling Philadelphia, Nov. 24.—The man and woman wanted in connection with the killing of Henry Pierce, the manufacturer’'s agent who was found beaten to death in the rear of his office here Monday were expected by the local police to be taken into cus- tody tod Detectives left last mid- night far Wheeling, W. Va., where a motor car bearing the same license number and answering the description of Peirce’s machine, in which they be- lieve his slayers fled, was left at a garage for repairs. Although the occupants of the car, two men and a woman have disap- peared, local officers said oue of the men and the woman were well known and they felt sure they soon would be arrested, They could not account for the second man in the machine but expressed bellef he was an inno- cent acquaintance of the couple who was picked up in flight across Penn- { sylvania. The police said they were confident the driver of the car was Peirce's 'lll)'?l' and that with his ar- rest the 'mystery virtually would be golved. They annhounced that late de- velopmerits had caused them to aban- don the robbery theory and that jeal- ousy probably was the motive for the killing. Investigation it was stated revealed that the man being sought is well known in sporting circles and was himself a former amateur boxer of New Jersey. His female companion was said also to be an acquaintance of Peirce.

Instead. the city engineer was instructed to prepare es- timates for another plan to aid in solving the traffic problem. To Cut Down Sidewalk. This. known as plan number 4, pro- vides that seven feet be shaved from | the sidewalks on both the east and west sides of the park and the cor- ners at cither end, but cut off and rounded in such a way as to allow more roadway and make the curves less acute To do this it will be nec- essary to remove the old trees that fringe the walks. As a measure to give temporary relief from the traffic con- gestion it was voted to recommend to the council that all automobiles or other vehicular parking be eliminated on the north and west sides of the park. 31 Favor Plan. When the public meeting was call- ed in the Grammar school hall there were only about 75 people in attend- ance, but these all exhibited a keen interest in the item before them. On ! a vote taken, 31 favored the layout ex- plained ahove, while 20 opposed it. On another vote thére were but six who favored the absolute elimimation of the park. Chairman E. Hum- phrey with the board of public works commissioners was presentand oth- ers well known in civic and business affairs were also present. ‘After the various plans had been outlined, Howard C. Wilson- satd he | favored plan four, with the removal of part of the sidewalk on the west side of the park. F. H. Alford fa- vored cutting off part of the sidewalk on both sides of the park and paring off the northeast cormer. M. C. Le- Witt opposed’ any change. W. L. Hatch expressed himself as in favor of cutting down the width of the walks on either side of the park and thus make the highwa¥ wider. He also favored cutting away from the north side of the park, as far back as the welcome home sign, and mov- ing the trolley tracks back. giving more room .for vehicular trafic. He said that personally he would not ob- ject to the entire elimination of the park and thinks it will come eventual- Iv. but at present it may not be advis- able. Kehoe Tn Oppositgjon. Ex-Representative Thomas H. Kehoe left no doubt as to where he stood on the matter. He declared that he opposed any plan for the elim- ination of the park, and added that if traffic is congested it is because of the parking of the vehicles there and this ought to be stopped. Referring more intimately to the park, Mr. Ke- hoe made a plea to save it. There is a tradition, he said, that the park was deeded to the city for park purposes with the provision that if the property was ever used for any other purpose, title would revert to heirs of the grantors. Whether that is a fact or not we do not know. he caid, but it was believed by citizens of New Britain in days gone by and there must be some truth to it. About thirty years ago he recalled, there was agitation for erecting a city building on the park site, in fact, the project was so far advanced that an appropriation of $4,000 was made for a sinking fund for the purpose, but plans were abandoned when thec tra- dition he mentioned. was resurrected. Opposed to Tradition. “Opposed to that tradition, all \* have is an opinion from the corpo: ation counsel, which says nothing ex- cept that he does not know anything about theyorigin of the park and he is unable to find any record of it The city should not eliminate the park or touch it,”” he said, “‘just be- cause some automobile owners want the space for a free garage." “There are thousands of memories clustered about Central Park,” he =aid, "but they are attributed to sen- timent. StilL,”- he continued. “it is sentiment that prompts the public to support the Red Cross, it is senti- ment that will make people help the hospital in the drive next week, it is =entiment that sent two millions of our boys across the water to fight, it is sentiment that prompted the late [ C. B. Erwin to provide the money for the monument on the park, and it is sentiment that kept the city from touching the park before. “You have no more right to steal the park from the monument than you have to steal the monument from the park,” he said. “The proper course to take is to stop automobiles from parking on the street and con- gesting traffic and leave the park as it st Gottfred Crusberg also opposed the entire elimination of the park. but said if a little was taken off to rem- edy conditions it would not be so bad. P. 8. McMahon was inclined to agree with the sentiment expressed by Mr. Keho~ A question concerning the traffic conditions was made by Johnstone Vance and Mr. Humphrey explained that should Mr. Hatch's idea be put into effect that is butting the trolley IWHITTALL M.J.
