Detective Hickey Reports Inves- figation Has Not Progressed and Sticks to Swicide HUNTINGTON. MYSTERY I LIKE SEALED BOOK Former Chorus Girl Not Connected With Huntington Case, County Hold Conferenco—High Powered Car Near Sceae of Student's Death Sought—Two Pistols Discarded. Hartford, May 17 UP—After nine days of intensive investigation in which every clue has been run down, County Detective Edward J. Hiekey has found nothing substan- tial to warrant a belief that Walter T. Huntington, Harvard junior, met with foul play which resulted in his death May 7 or 8 in a swamp at the Murphy farm, on the road between Windsor and Tariftville. The investigator admits it is a “strange suicide,” admits that the medical experts have not changed their be- Mefs, but that he has talked with other medical experts'to determine the possibility of Huntington having heen able to move consciously after the shooting. *T can’t say what the doctors told me;" he said (today. “All this will come out in due time.” He refused to give any indicatipn of when “the due time” would be, No Clue Unchecked He admitted also that he did not have a single clue left, every “tip,” every piece of information having heen run to earth. Every person re- ferred to in the case, even remote- ly, has been questioned either by himself or others, and the net result ot all this investigation has been in his own words, “nothing to indicate murder.” Ex-Show Girl Not {nvolved Mr. Hickey refused, however, to #ay that his investigation had ended, insisting that he would continue to run down any further information that came to his attention. He de. nied emphatically that he was inter- ested in reports that a former show girl, recently married, was involved in the case, admitting, however, that he had investigatsd this phane of the matter to his satisfaction. The Massachusetts ramification which brought him inte several ¢itles and towns in Massachusetts the last few days have been checked up and dis- carded. His Bay State investigation is end- ed. The revolvers picked up, one in Fast Windsor Hill and another in Port Chester, N. Y., have been ex- amined and found not to have been the weapon used in the mysterious shooting. Still Relieves it Sulcide “During the entire investigation I have found nothing to shake my be- liet that Huntington died by his own hands from a bullet fired from a .32 calibre Colt automatic taken from his own home,” Detective Hickey said. Mr. Hickey says reporters fur- nished him with information that a former show girl of Cambridge, married in Ja.aary to a wealthy New York book collector, was a friend of Huntington, and that the (Continued on Page 28) SCHACHT CLARFIES GERMAN CONDITIONS Answers . Questions Allied Experts Study Reparations Plan Paris, May 17 (®—The repara- tions experts of the creditor nations today were studying the proposed text of the committee’s report with the German conditions preparatory to a full discussion among them- selves later in the day. Dr. Hjalmar 8chacht, head of the German delegation, remained at his hotel pending an agreement 'be- tween the allies and the American representatives, but one of the Ger- man experts led at the head- quarters of the committee just atter noon with a response to inquiries as to the meaning of some of the phraser in the German conditions. The principal opposition to the Annvities suggested by Owen D. Young is now coming from the Bel- Kians and Italians, but all the credi- tors fournid what they felt were ob- Jectionable features in the German conditions. The committee seemed tending more and more toward a report in which both sides would present their minimum demands, their conditions and their reservations, leaving the governments to complete the work. It has been suggested already that Foreign Minister Briand, Dr. Strege- mann and 8ir Austen Chamberlain may have to decide on a new meth- od of negotiation when they meet at Madrid for the next council meeting of the league of nations.

A quantity of paint and wall paper was stored in the cellar of the house, which ig threk stories high and contains six tenements, and it is the theory of the fire department that combustion in the paint set fire to the walls, as it was plainly evident that the fire started in that part of the building. The rafters were badly burned and the lack of fire stops al- lowed the flames to make headway, breaking through on the first floor. Four of the six tenements in-the house were vacant, the DiFronzo and Pascio families living on the second and third floors on the ride where the fire was. 1t was necessary to chop through the plaster in some places, and the usual water damage was ‘done to the building and con- tents.

The building, owned by Nicholas Scappelatti, was in course of .con- struction. On two occasion: building department had issued or- ders to strengthen the supports, and braces were placed against the east wall several days ago. These braces were removed yesterday and shortly after, Inspector Rutherford received a telephone measage to hurry at once as the building was toppling and occupants of the neighboring house feared for their lives. The inspector ordered braces re- placed at once, He then advised the three families occupying the dwelling to the east of the damaged building to vacate. Police headquar- ters was notified of the condition, with the result that Supernumerary Policeman Frank Krzewski was de- tailed to stand guard. The police- man was praised by Inspector Ruth- erford today for his consideration in arranging sleeping quarters for the familles who vacated in the homes of some of his personal acquaint- ances. This morning notice was served on the contractor by Bergeant Thom- as J.

An elderly woman chanced to be cross- ing at this moment and the stick struck her hat, knocking it askew, then continued on its flight to be ground beneath the wheels of a passing trolley car.

They did not resist arrest and were taken to the central po- lice station in City hall where they were charged Wit ' cairying con- | cealed weapons after a 38 calibre ' pistol was found on each. Scarface Al and Cline were given | a midnight hearing by Police Magis- | trate Edward P. Carney and held in $35.000 bail each.

Swanson: “It's a good job.” Daniel Anderson, assistant United | States district attorney, uttered a hearty laugh. “They hung it on him in a hurry,” he observed. The state’s attorney said he had no charges pending against Capone, and o far as police blotters are con- cerned the gang -leader's record is! pure and undefiled despite the regu- lar recurrence of name in the newspaper prints each time a gang- ster falls by the wayside, pole.

Andrews, May 17 (# — Joyce Wethered won the British women's golf championship today for the fourth time, defeating Glenna Col- lett, three times ‘American cham- pion, in the final at 36 holes. The American piled up a big lead on the first nine and was two up at the end of the first 18 but could not combat the steady play of her opponent in the afternoon. The British girl's margin of vic- tory was three up and on® to play, the match ending when Miss Weth- ered won the 35th hole. The Ameri- can girl started home with a pair of threes, reducing her opponent’s mar- gin from four up to two up but she was not able to reduce it more dur- ing’ the final eight holes. The 35-hole battle between the 1wo, great girl players will rank with the famous golf battles, of the cen- turies over the historic 8t. Andrews course. The British girl lived up to | her reputation as a wonder goifer and the American champion showed herself almost her equal. Misses Wethered and Collett pro- vided more golfing thrills than 8t. Andrews has known since Bobby Jones won the open championship here in 1927 with an almost breath- less final round. Crowds estimated at 10,000 be- came almost uncontrollable at the 33d, 34th and 35th holes. Police joined dozens of men and women stewards and with the greatest dif- ficulty cleared the fairway for the play to continue. "As Glenna missed her fast putt, she rushed smilingly to congratulate her opponent. The two girls in the midst of a surging crowd of excited golf enthusiasts had to be extricated by police and escorted to their hotels nearby, while the cheering crowds surrounded the hotel entrances and demanded speeches. .

Cleveland, O, May 17 (®—An of- ficial inquest in the Cleveland clinic disaster which has claimed a toll of 125 lives was begun today by Coun- ity Coroner A. J. Pearse. Simultane- |ously, those of the clinic's staff of doctors, who survived the disaster, opened temporary headquarters in another building and prepared to “carry on” the semi-philantAropic work that was ended so abruptly Wednesday by fire, explosions and deadly poison gas.

Three firemen and as many police- men who aided in rescue work went to hospitals last night. Others were ill at their homes, among them Fire Battalion Chief Michael J. Graham.
