He gained entrance to the apartment and found the victims in bed. Gas was flowing from a heater which had either been left turned on or had blown out during the night.

A bank book of the Central Sav ings Bank, showing a balance of $2,740, was found by the police. Four certificates of the National Equitable Investment Company and 20 shares of the Rogers Milk Products Com pany were also found on a table near the bed.

R. PILAT. Tractors have rumbled over the Sahara. French flivvers hava acres the savannas of South Africa. Why not use American automobiles to solve the mys-ery of ancient Mayan civilization? Tracy Richardson, last of the old-time soldiers of fortune about whom Richard Harding Davis wrote so romantically, is trifling with the Idea.

He realizes that the tangled Jungles Central America are more difficult to penetrate than deserts or African plains. But. he insists, the project is "possible." and somrbody has to do tt first. Abandons Soldiering. After having been a colonel under the Diaz regime In Mexico, a brigadier under Madcro, chief of the gunnery section under Carranza during ills battles with V11U and alternately collector of customs and leader of a bandit group in Guatemala.

Richardson has abandoned the "soldiering racket." He is living quietly at 145 Montague st. with his wife, laying plans lor his new project. "Lindbergh has flown over the edge of the Mayan country while the world held Its breath he said. "All sorts of foundations have sent little expeditions to corners of the territory where the highly civilized Mayans of 1,300 years apo lived. But no one knows yet the extent of the ruins left by them, no one yet has given any real translation of their hieroglyphics, no one has explained how their paint preparations have lasted through the centuries when our own today are unable to do so.

Would Solve Kiilille. "In short, we have not solved the Mayan riddle. I propose to do so. Not for love but for good hard cash, as I have tho persons who will put up the money." Richardson, an athletic lioking man of 38, was a major, a flier ami machine-gun expert in the Amer ican Expeditionary Forces. Since ihe war he has led several expedi tions Into Central America In tur vcys of timber and mineral concessions, and by airplane he has seen buried cities never found bv white man before.

He proposes to photograph these cities close at hand. Sees Revolution Passe. "I gave up the soldiering racket lust before it died a natural he said. "There are no soldiers of fortune today, except for a few aviators who are having an uncomfortable time In China. Stir up a revolution today and a ton of bricks falls on your neck." Of the old-time soldiers of fortune, those still alive are "broke." ho said, with the exception of one cr two who have succeeded In business or married well.

Richardson was the Intimate friend and chief lieutenant of the late Gen. Lee Christmas, "dean" of American soldiers of fortune, so he ought to know. Start Net Fall. Tho Mayan expedition will not benln until next fall, as detailed preparations must bo made, and Richardson has a minor commercial' proposition of exploration to carry out first. It will begin from Puerto Cortes, on the Gulf of Mexico coast.

After reaching Lake Gulea. which separates Honduras and Guatemala, expedition will head for the Province of Cohan.

We expected to be able to get a story about flavors beliiR popular because they matched personalities, which we still think they do, or Bbout flavors producing psychological reactions, which we still think they do, or producing physiological reactions, which we still think they do.

There was no information available on these phases of the subject and apparently no research work has been clone in this field at all. There seems to be an opportunity for some scientist to garner a little glory, perhaps a little fame, by dis covering the relationship between favorite flavors and personalities. We know that sugar contains no vitamins but we hoped to receive some information that the essential oils which carry the flavors were filled with vitamins of various sorts uroductlve of various beneficial effects. But again no information is available. Candy is just candy, made as pure as modern methods make possible and as palatable as favorite flavors permit.

Candy is still something to be enjoyed and not something to be sclentlflcatcd Into a laboratory product about which we will think twice before eating once. Fruit Flavors Not So Popular. We were Informed that the fruit flavors do not hold the same popularity as the flavors mentioned earlier. The order of popularity among the fruit flavors is orange, 'lemon, grape, lime and anise. We asked, out of Idle curoslty.

how many peppermint waters were manufactured in a year In that plant and we were Informed that they numbered 1.730.0OO.OO0. We could not resist the temptation to do the orthodox think, so we measured the diameter of one, found It to lie ll-16thsof an Inch and then calcu lated how far they would reach if set rim to rim.

Cabinet Rests On Coal Crisis 'Willie' Graham Finance Expert, Chief Figure In Shaping Problem By CHARLES ODY (Special Correspondent ol the Eagle.) London, Nov. 15 (By Mail) The stage is now cleared for the polit' leal fight on which the whole ex istence of Ramsay MacDonald's ad ministration depends. Coal is, and has been for 150 years, the life blood of British Industry.

For years, now, the coal trade has been in a parlous state, due, mostly, to world causes over which nobody has any control. Coal has caused in the past 10 years the biggest strikes that Britain has ever known. Coal was the cause of the "great general strike of 1926. And now coal threatens to upset the Labor Government. If that Government can do something to placate the miners, and avoid an other strike, well and good: not, if there be a strike in the next few months, then nublic confidence in the MacDonald administration will vanish.

Depends on Graham. What will happen? It all de pends on a little Scotsman named William Graham. Graham has de signed the bill on which this great Parliamentary fight is to tane place. If the bill goes through and achieves its aims, Graham will have saved the Labor Government. Who is William Graham? "Wil lie," he is affectionately called, is beloved of all parties.

His is a dazzling futile. He is certain to be Chancellor of the Excnequer one day, and perhaps he may even attain to the distinction of Prime Minister. Pay heed to Willie Graham; whatever you do, don't Ignore that man. Willie drifted into the House at the election of 1918, when the Labor Party was a minority with a very uncertain future. He sits for Central Edinburgh, his constituency is the heart of the "Northern Athens." where are some of the fairest streets in Britain, and where drunken old harridans lie helpless outside the public houses until policemen bundle them to tne cells.

Waddles Through Lobbies. Willie 13 still in the early forties. He waddles through the lobbies and along the corridors of Parliament- There is a peculiar twist in his rai which suggests that something is the matter with his steering gear. But he invariably hurries; and it is exceptional to see him without a bundle of papers under his arm The man Is a walking encyclopedia. Nobody in British public life has such a memory.

His spe c'ality is public finance; and on one occasion he talked for exactly two hours in the House, quoting ac curately and with never so much as a glance at a piece or paper, an kinds of statistics about tne urn. ish National Debt covering a period lrom the battle of Waterloo In 1815 down to the present day. Now he is president of the Board of Trade; and the mine owners are thoroughly afraid of the heavy guns he carries. Willie is a Lowland Scot. He be gan as a newspaper reporter, but in the intervals of reporting he de voted himself to study, and actually saved enough money (all Scots are thrifty and Willie is no exception) to take a course at Edinburgh Un! versity, where he soon secured a degree.

Then he got in the Civil Service and, by good luck, was given a post in the Treasury, where for a period of years, he grubbed away at the details of the money business until now he has it all at his finger's end. And Willie is a great gentleman this is true of so many of the Labor members, especially those from Scotland. He simply does not know how to be rude. His is the courtesy that many a man of aristocratic birth would give much to possess. Reads O'Neill Under Eves of Daniel Webster (That's AH).

"No. sir," said one of the attendants to the other "I wouldn't sell it at that price, says, 'If them potatoes lsn worth "Is this," asked your questioning correspondent, "the cradle of Lib erty?" "Yeah," said the first attendant with the quaint patois characters tic of Boston attendants, at the same tune producing a pipe. "In there. Got a match?" He got a match, lighted his pipe and discussed the price of potatoes.

Then, accompanied by the other it tendant, he left. Proceeding into the Hall, you correspondent found a rostrum on which a lot of famous men have stood. Daniel Webster still stood there, in a large painting ov the rostrum, and so did Senator Hayne of South Carolina. In these world famous prewnces your rebellious correspondent lost what might be called all sense of proportion. From his inside cost pocket he pro duced a copy of Eugene O'Neill's 'Strange Interlude 'a play banned by tho censors of Boston.

And right there, in the Cradle of Liberty, he read tt. Or part of it. You could have heard a pin drop as he read on and on. And. believe it or not as you please, nothing happened.

Daniel Webster continued to answer Senator Hayne, but neither made so as a threatening gesture toward the rebellious reader. General Scott and Judge Burnett and others In the painting said never a word. And as for the BoMonlans of 19J9 they too. said nothing. None Ot them was there.

So triumphantly waving his O'Neill book In the rnikor-rtdrien air, your correspondent took Ills departure. His revolution was won. By FRED'K BOYD STEVENSON. Editor of Civic Affairs. Efforts are again on loot to make Jamaica Bay one of the greatest ports In the world.

The United States Government has taken the lead In that direction and Invited the co-operation of the City of New York. But the City of New York has been slow to appreciate the situation. It is true that two years ago a proposition was made by capitalists of the Middle West to expend in developing Jamaica Bay into a mighty harbor, with railway connections, extensive piers and the terminal of a line of fifteen large warehouses from San Francisco to Boston, but the project fell through, although city officials representing the Boro of Brooklyn pledged their support. Now the subject is to be reopened tonight by Senator Royal S. Cope-land at the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce.

He will urge that Jamaica Bay be made a free port. If the City of New York will join in the movement, theie is little doubt that the national government will extend its present program of improving Jamaica Bay, which is already quite extensive. And, in this connection, let it be understood that the long series of improvements consummated and still under way along the waterways of Long Island under the Secretary of War have a direct bearing on the proposed Jamaica Bay project, for they open an extensive transportation service by water and rail that will greatly Increase the commercial and industrial activities of Long Island, Brooklyn, and, of course, the entire City of New York and the State. Improvements Made. The report of the chief engineers (if the United States Army shows In detail what improvements were made In the rivers and harbors of this First New York District last year, and those improvements have been increased this year.

Those that directly advance with the big port project are the channel connecting Gravesend Bay with Jamaica Bay, Sheepshead Bay, Coney Island Channel, Bay Ridge and Red Hook Buttermilk Channel and numerous other waterways on Long 'Island. In fact, all the improvements on Long Island now under way by the national government would eventually benefit the Port of Jamaica If constructed on a wide national and international plan. New York City has also contributed to quite an extent in those waterway inv provements coming within its limits. The greatest work, however, has been done in Jamaica Bay. This is a co-operative project on the part of the national government and the City of New York for making a general harbor.

It provides for mak ing an entrance channel thirty feet deep at mean low water and 1,500 feet wide, with widening at bends: a main channel extending from the entrance channel up to the mouth of Cornell's Creek, to be thirty feet deep at mean low water and 1,000 feet wide, with widening at bends, and for the protection of the entrance channel by one or two riprap jetties. Local Cooperation. The prosecution of the work at the expense of the United States is to be done under conditions of lo cal co-operation which provides that New York City shall construct or provide for the construction of terminals with facilities suitable to channels of that depth. In order to make this project ad vantageous in a local sense, the city has secured title to 2.710 acres of upland and land under water lo cated for seven miles along the wa ter front of Jamaica Bay between Barren Island and the Long Island Railroad crossing on the north side of the bay at Hamilton Beach. This includes 339 acres which will afford the city an.

opportunity for con structing a railroad connection with the New York Connecting Railroad to and around the entire Jamaica Bay waterfront in accordance with a plan adopted by the city author! tics on June 25, 1925. Manr Made by City. Many Improvements have been made by the city, which had expended something like t3.000.000 in 1928, excluding the cost of land acquired by condemnation, and. if the excluded items be considered, the expenditure will probably reach more than $4,000,000. The estimated cost to the United States has been placed at about $11,000,000.

But this cost would be only the beginning if the big project of making Jamaica Bay Harbor a great port for ocean freighters should be carried out. In that event channels forty feet deep would have to be constructed. It is understood that the United States Government would make such channels if sufficient money guarantees were given that proper wharves, warehouse, railroad connections and other Improvements would be made.

To her club now several thousand lonely hearts, most of them In the Greater City, have turned for companionship. In the last 10 years, 1,100 marriages have taken place among her members and there are more than 300 young "Elsas" throughout the country who are her god-chii- dren. Flappers Not Wanted. Elsa Thorpe certainly ought to have a birdseye view of the kind of girls men marry and the men that girls prefer. 'Men don prefer these flapper- ish, smoking, drinking girls," she said, "and despite the vogue of sllm- ness, they don't prefer thin girls.

When they write me with matri mony in mind they ask to meet girls who are quiet, robust and pretty. They like girls who dance, but not those who smoke and dunk.

"The people who write to me are serious and very sincere," she said.

"They are not ignorant, poor peo ple. Most of them are well edu cated, and many are well to do. They are people who have been shelved through circumstances beyond their control. "Here In the city where business is so all-engrossing it is easy for people to be shoved into a niche where they never meet friends, Those are the people who come to me. "Most of my club members are young, but there are some middle- aged and a few old people and the old ones marry as often as the young.

It Isn't locked." It wasn't locked, and behind it a broad staircase led to the hall, or Cradle of Liberty Itself. Taking a deep breath, and a stout hold of his courage, your adventurous correspondent advanced on the enemy. At the top of the stairway, stood the enemy two of them. Two attendants, that Is, no doubt prepared to Inflict petty re and annoyances on your liberty-loving correspondent. They weren't, as it happened, armed with rifles and bayonets which one might reasonably have expected.

And their uniforms, curiously enough, were rolled up. Beside them hung a sign: "No smoking." Ah. ha! The first restriction.

Pattia Brothers, Joseph Holme, Greenfield Iron Works and the United Hoisting Company. According to evidence placed be fore the Jury by William S. Butler, his attorney.

Lombardi's original face was mutilated when an improvised elevator used to haul building materials but without guards or rails struck him. The accident occurred March 1, 1B27. Lombardl lay in the French Hospital for more than a year while surgeons took flesh from his hip to make him a new nose, a new chin and Hps and part of the left check. Butler told the Jury Lombardl looks altogether different than he did before the accident, and close in spection still reveals that his face had been reconstructed. Lombardl can't close hi3 left eye and must sleep with it open.

But the surgeons have not finished with him yet and possibly that defect will be remedied. Subway Relief Spur Discussed Tomorrow The Allied Subway Compaign group, headed by William J.

We wondered what flavors appealed most to people and why. Expecting to get the answer we went, to an establishment where candy wafers are made in 11 flavors and sold all over the earth. Some quite definite information was available on the question of most popular flavors, but the question of why people like the flavors they do and what the flavor does to them that makes them like it is still largely unanswered.

May Be Clue In Sections. Perhaps there Is some clue to a starting point for finding out why IHople like certain flavors in the lnct that in New England violet is far from a favorite flavor. It Just isn't liked there. Down South licorice gets the same kind of a reception. We thought that clove as a flavor went out of favor when Volstead came into favor, but we were wrong.

It is still useful for the same purpose lor which it was originally used, that is, for sweetening the breath, but not antl-Volstead breaths. Alter a smoke then comes the clove, we were Informed.

"You see, the girl friend smokes these days, and she finds clove handy for use before the boy friend arrives." 'Why does almost every one like peppermint?" we asked.

"From our point of view, the answer Is that fewer people dislike peppermint than any other flavor," was the consensus of the group of officials to whom we were talking.

"Our Interest In peppermint is as a flavor and not as a medicine, al though we naturally do not object to it having medicinal virtues.

Ah, said your correspondent to himself, Is it not here In Boston that Faneuil Hall stands, the Cradle of Liberty? And is it not Boston that has piled censorship on censorship, burying all semblance ol liberty deep underneath? The answer was yes to both. Thereupon your correspondent had a whimsical thought.

He would go to Faneuil Hall, the Cradle of Liberty (for the truth must be told that he had not been there before). He would investigate. And he would And, no doubt, that Liberty was dead, not only In Boston but in its very cradle. Petty restrictions annoyances, things of that sort he would find. Attendants who would tell him Just where to stand and what to do.

He would defy all these, showing Boston to be what it was. So would he go down to more or less eternal fame. Yes. Well, Faneuil Hall, your correspondent soon found, is located on Faneuil Hall Square, and it doesn't look like a cradle. It looks like a public market.
