Loughery of 1656 Law- lor street was appointed a lleuten- ant in the fire department, succeed- ing John Stanton, at a meeting of the board which followed formal in- spection of the seven houses last night, Stanton, Loughery's prede- cessor, was pensioned by the com- mission last week. Advancement from the substitute ranks to the regular force was giv- en Charles J. McAloon of 179 La- salle atreet, Henry R. Fenn of 49 Griswold street, and Mauro Scalise of 263 Allen street, Board Not in Agreement Last night's meeting was the last of a series in which the commission members made efforts to agree upon a achedule of candidates which would have unanimous support. When the meeting came to order they were in accord on but one mat- ter, that of advancing McAloon from the substitute to the regular force. When nominations were called for Commissioner James H. Passerim proposed Loughery for leutenant, and Commissioner Harry A. Beck- with nominated Private David Moore. Commissioner Beckwith voted for Moore, and Chairman James J. Butler, Commissioner Charles F. Dehm and Commissioner Passerini voted for Loughery. THe question of who would be ad- vanced to the lieutenancy has con- cerned itself with the candidacy of Moore and Loughery for several they being the survivors after consideration had been given 14 avowed candidates. Hill Vacancies Action next came on filling the vacancles created when Stanton and Hoseman Thomas Roper were re- tired and when Leo Forsyth re- signed. For the first vacancy, Commis- sloner Beckwith nominated Mec- Aloon. There being no further nom- inations, he was declared unanl- mously elected, this being the only unanimous ballot of the evening. Commissioner Dehm nominated Fenn to fill the second vacancy, and Commissioner Beckwith proposed the name of Edward Litke, and for the third position, Commissioner Passerini nominated Mauro Scalise and Commissioner Beckwith enter- ed James R. Savio. Fenn and Sca- | lise were the choice in a three-tur one vote. All promotions are effective Mon- | day morning at 7 o'clock, subject to the appointees passing a physical examination.

War MYSTERY STILL BAFFLES POLICE Rothstein Case Has Not Been Solved as Yet New York, Nov. 21 (UP)—Some- where in New York today, Mrs. Ruth Keyes, Chicago model, will closely scan four pictures in an at- tempt to help find the murderer of Arnold Rothstein. Now that Mrs. Keyes is in New York, she is almost as much of a mystery as she was before detectives located her in Chicago and persuded her to come back to tell what she knows about the shooting of Broad- way's most notorious gambler in the Park Central hotel on the night of Nov. 4. Due Yesterday Mrs. Keyes was due to arrive at the Grand Central terminal late yes- terday afternoon, but she was tuken off the train at 125th street. Where she went after that only police know and they refuse to say anything about it. She was said to have been questioned at police headquarters and at District Attorney Joab Ban- ton's office, but neither report could be contirmed. Among the pictures she will ex- amine is one of George McManus, whose overcoat was found in the room in which Rothstein was fatally shot. Mrs., Keyes had a room near Room 349, to which Rothstein, was summoned on the night he was shot. of being invited to the room where she had several drinks with a man known to her only as “Jack,” but said she had never seen Rothstein and knew nothing about the murder. Mrs. Keyes checked out of the Park Central hotel the day after the shooting. Mayor on Warpath Mcanwhile Mayor James J. Walk- er, who has been threatening dras- tice action against the police because of the delay in solving the Roth- stein case, announced that the “period of grace” for the detectives had becn extended indefinitely. “I am not satisfied with the way the investigation has progressed,” Walker said, “but T cannot see what advantage I would gain by making a change in the men who are work- ing on the case.” Police still are working on the theory that Rothstein was shot be- cause he refused to pay a gambling debt of more than $300,000 which he is believed to have incurred in a poker game at Jimmy Meehan's apartment on the night of Sept. 29. 1t is believed there were four men in the hotgl room when Rothstein was shot and police are hopeful that Mrs. Keyes will be able to identify some of them. sufficient to oftsct his youth.

Instead of finding a for- tune and clues that would help them solve a dozen baffling crimes, the authoritics discovered only two wed- ding rings, a sheaf of bills and two bankbooks. Papers were filed with the probate clerk in surrogate’s court I Gainsburg, counsel for Roths 3 father, accusing Maurice F. Cantor, the gambler's attorncy, of guiding Rothstein's hand in making his last will just before he died. That will left the income from one-sixth of Rothstein's cstate to | Inez Norton, former show girl. The papers protested the validity of the will and demanded a jury trial to settle the issue.

Mo, 53064 U. z do—New Yoit SCIENTISTS WILL TALK ASTRONOMY Turn Frgm Discussion of Elec- trons to the Stars Schenectady, N. Y., Nov. 21 P—| From a day devoted largely to con- | sideration of electrons, those invis. ible chunks of energy which make up all matter, the National Academy of Sciences today turned its atten- tion toward the stars. Dr. Harlow Shapley of Harvard, who announced Monday that he and his associates were practically cer- tain they had discovered the center of the earth’s particular galaxy of stars in the milky way about 47,- 000 light years away in the direction of Sagittarius, was called upon to report more of his discoveries. Seeks Center This youthful astronomer, in seeking the center not only of the earth’s galaxy but of the entire uni- verse, which includes many other similar galaxies revolving in space about individual centers millions of light years away, has found in the fluctuating brightness of the cephiad variable stars a yavdstick for meas- uring the incredible distances he is considering. Knowing that these stars, which have regular periods of extreme brightness and intervening periods of relutive dullness, all have ap- proximately the same magnitude of light, he is able to compute their distances from the earth by com- paring that candlepower with the amount which reaches his observa- tory. The difference tells him how much of the brightness has been lost, and from that he can calcu- \late how many years the light rays he is able to see have been travel- ing at the rate of 186,000 miles a second reaching the earth. Some of those 1® has observed have been traveling 100,000,000 years, and it takes only 200,000 years, he says, for a light ray to cross the entire galaxy, of which the carth is a part. To Study Nebulae His two papers on today's pro- gram had to do with the absohte magnitudes of long period variables and a study of the coma-Virgo cluster of nebulae far out beyond the earth’s galaxy. On the same program, Dr. Henry N. Russell of Princeton contributed an analysis of the behaviour of meteoric matter near the stars. Utilizing Dr. Shapley's estimate that 1,000 million meteors strike the carth every day and other deter- minations showing that the average mass of each meteorite cannot ex- ceed two milligrams, he has calcu- lated that the total quantity of this kind of matter falling into the sun is not more than 60 tons a sccond. The distinguished scientists at-| tending the meeting, many of whom are associated with large educa- tional Institutions, were given a demonstration before their dinner last night of the new means which may overcome one of the most dif- ficult problems of modern educa- tion, the bringing of students in closer contact with the great men of science. It was the showing of a | photophone picture in which a lec- ture on oil films on water by Dr. I. Langmuir of the General Electric company laboratorics, was repro- duced, with a number of demon- strations. His words were recorded on the same film which showed his actions, by means of photographing a beam of light set in motion by the vibrations of his voice and then reproducing the tones from the waves on the film.

Officer John Riley reported slight damage to the bumper and the sign and found no cause for po- lice action. WOOD NOW BEING USED FOR FooD German Scientist Tells of In-' gredients of New Diet Pittsburgh, Nov. 21 M—The hu- man food that can now be made from wood may not appeal to per- sons desiring 1o reduce, but it il! otherwise onc of the widely used clements in table diet. ‘What elements will constitute this food from wood were disclosed by Dr. edrich Bergius in an in- formal talk at the second interna- tional conference on bituminous coal at the Curnegie Institute of Tech- | nology.
