( ‘DOCTOR TELLS OF TOTH PRATS 04 BAKSA G'S ARN Says They Were Made by Hu- man Being—Marks on Mur- der Victim Not Identified. ‘The effort of the District Attorney to prove to the satisfaction of the fury in the trial of nineteen-year-old Elisabeth Baksa for the murder of nm Hamel that the abrasions of Mrs, Fiamel were Baksa’s teeth did not make the sensation that had been predicted, Assistant District Attorney Alfred J. Talley, in charge of the prosecu- tion of the girl, tried yesterday in every way to draw from Dr. James F, Cush, a dentist, of No. 265 Sixth Ave- nue, a statement that the marks on Mrs, Hamel's arm corresponded to an impression of Miss Baksa’s teeth, but he was unsuccessful, Dr. Cush admitted to Judge Rosal- oky that it was Impossible for a den- Ust to take an exact replica of lower teeth with wax because the wax was. bound to spread. » Medical Exam- Attorney's office, © . eller, to refute the statements of the girl's attorney that the abragions on the defendant's arm were made by a @og’s bite, gave it as his poaitive opinion that the marks ‘were caused by human teet! Dr, Schultze, asked how he could identify the marks as having been mado by human teeth, said that their shape, oval and definite, dertoted that, In reply to a question by Judge Ro- salsky, Dr. Schultze said that a dog's teeth made a mark much more prom- inent than that of any human teeth, and that the conformation and align- ment were different. Judge Rosalsky permitted the opin- fon of Dr. Schultze to go into evi. dence, saying he felt the matter was one for the fury to consider and that Mothers! ‘ — Watch the tongue of your young!

Thescent of murder in the killing ot Giuseppi Ballaro, the victim of the trunk mystery, took the detectives posthaste oyer to Brooklyn again at noon to-d Capt. Carey himself heading the squad. The police are now certain that the murder of shoe repairer shop proprietor took place in Manhattan and not in Brooklyn, as lwas first suspected, aud that it oc- curred not a great distance from where the body was found in the trunk tn front of No. 152 Mott Street It was a woman's lure that brought The Tom Sawyers and Huck Finns of} Ballaro over to Manhattan and it is Greater New York were happy to-day,| the belief of the police that robbery for, after all, curfew did not ring last] and not murder was the motive which ree te ey ring inlet and every | actuated the woman and those behind night hereafter, meaning they will have| her, to be indoors after 9 P.

Thousands of soldiers and sailors were entertained in New York homes on Thanksgiving, and only one caso turned out unfortunately.

After her guest had left, Mrs, Tipple missed three diamond rings and a wrist watch from a Jewel . the whole valued at $34) Detectives Kennedy and wocarthy, of the Tremont Station arrested Franklin, who was committed to the Bronx County Jail in default of $1,000 bail af- ter a hearing before Magistrate Simp- son in the West Farms Court. oo BIG TARRYTOWN BLAZE.

Carey declined to say, but the course of their investigations led them tothe Cranberry Street house where Ballaro had hired a room for the fatal night, ; and which it is supposed he was to share with the woman, The theory that Ballaro was de- coyed by @ woman to his death was further strengthened to-day when a man was found who deciared he had heard a man and @ woman quarrel- ing on a street car near 30th Street on the night preceding the murder, The woman was insistent and the man wag angrily protesting against some proposition she was advocat- ing. From the description he read of Ballaro in the newspapers, the police's informant declares that’ Bal- laro was the man in the car, it is now believed the woman took Ballaro to her own room. It is not likely the trunk used in disposing of the body could have been found in a strange room. Besides, if the mur- der had been committed in a strange room, the detectives say, the per- petrators could simply have left the body there. So it must have been in 4 room familiar to the principals, ana it 4g believed now it was in Manhat- jtan, Thus the trunk remains the most important clue the police have, That there is a good prospect of learning soon who this woman and her companion or companions are was indicated to-day by Capt, Car who said: “I have just heard about the first tangible thing that has pointed any- where and it is so valuable that it would be a violation of police duty if I should make it public now. That course would interfere with our at- tempts to catch the persons in- volved." | It was said, however, that evidence had been obtained indicating that Ballaro had become friendly with a woman who came to his shop to have her shoes shined. Dr, Otto H. Schultze, medical as- sintant to the District Attorney, who was at the autopsy, said to-day: “The indications are that there was @ struggle, in the course of which a man's knees or feet were applied to Ballaro’s body with such force as to rupture or lacerate the spleen and liver, Then somebody forced @ hand ined his mouth, causing his asphyxia- tion,” pO Le BIG FIRE AT BREWSTER, phone Exchange Included in Buildings Burned—Loss $150,000, (Special to The Bvening World.)

(Bpectal to The Brening World.) OSSINING, Nov. 80.—Belng re- stored to the good graces of his first love proved too much for Rupert Johnson, a 260-pound convict, sent up from New York City for robbery, and he ran away'from the Sing Sing Prison farm at Wingdale last night, presumably to see his sweetheart, who lives in West 64th Street. Johnson was one of twenty prison- ers at work on the farm, He told one of his cronies that after being sent away, his first and only love went back on him, and he had to console himself with the affection of a minor attraction, She wrote to him for a while and then she, also, “trew him down.” For a while he was disconsolate, and then his companions suddenty noticed he had recovered his cheer- ful spirits. He told one of a letter he had just received from his first love, asking forgiveness and expres: ing undying love. After his escape last night this letter was found in his room at the farmhouse, He was fortunate in picking a night for his escape, because a fire in Brewster had put out of commission many telephones over which Warden Moyer tried to send out an alarm, Two automobile loads of guards were sent in pursuit, and when it was re- ported he had been seen to leave a train at North White Plains, Sergt, Broadfield and a detachment of the State Constabulary were sent in| search for him. The prison autho: ties refused to give out any informa tion, but it was said Johnson had but a few more months to serve, PSC.ATOOOS WITH BURLESIN ON PHONE RATES Postmaster General to Reduce War Charges Soon—Ho- tels to Fight. Speculation as to whether Postmaster Genera] Burleson or the State Public Service Commission has the power to authorize changes in the telephone rates is rife to-day, following the an- nouncement that the Cabinet officer will shortly cut down the war charges now in effect for telephone installa- tions, listing of subscribers in the telephone directory and the moving of telephones from one part of a house to another. “The rates charged by the tele- phone company are filed with the Public Service Commission,” de- murred the company officials. “The rate under discussion ts not a tele- phone company rate, therefore it has never been filed. The Postmaster Gen- eral is now directing the company management, and such rates as he may authorize will be the rates of the company.” Hotel proprietors and apartment house owners are revolting against the order of the Postmaster General forbidding a charge for telephone ser- vice in excess of the regular rates, This order, if put into effect, will limit hotels and apartment houses to five cents for city calls instead of the 10 cents now charged in most places, Mayor Hylan issued the following statement to-day, commending the or- der of Postmaster General Burleson: “The Postmaster General is to be commended for his action tn the mat- ter of the 6-cent telephone rate, and also for the reduction for installation of telephones, &c, “The people of New York are against profiteering in every form, and in my opinion the charge of more | than 6 cents for a telephone call, | whether from a hotel, apartment house or elsewhere within the 5-cent zone, is profiteering, plire and simple. “Cornelius M, Sheehan, Deputy Commissioner of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity, is one of the com- plainants against the excessive tele- phone charges, and, as I understand | it, he was one of the first men of | promipence to express himself con- | cerning this deplorable condition of affaire, | “Undoubtedly we will have the proper action and the proper results, following Postmaster General Burle- son's excellent orde iain | MOONEY ACTION DEPLORED.

Bryan Foy, sometimes known as “Grape Juice” in tribute to his dis- tinguished namesake, came to New York yesterday from Pelham Bay Naval Station, where he is in training and sought @ eure for a heavy cold. Rock and Rye, Foy later explained, was prescribed by some unlicensed but enthusiastic curer of colds, and he tried some. It made him feel so much better that he tried aome more. After a time Foy met a Canadian soldier returned from service over- seas. They became friends and out- lined a campaign that should perman- ently cure Foy’s cold. Foy and the soldier swore the oath of blood broth- erhood and to share each other's joys, sorrows and battles.
