1 THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, SATURDAY. MARCH (17, 1923. about the Safest Commodity on the Market To-day" So writes a man who knows. Nothing could be safer than scientifically manufactured ice.

Pure city water is used. It is filtered four extra times before going into sanitary containers, protected from all possible contamination. The freezing is done by chilling brine, which draws the heat away from the water. No no ammonia can touch the ice. And 1 no hands touch the ice.

It is handled by machinery and goes direct to a clean wagon or a clean storage room. The above is the way Knickerbocker Ice is made in its twenty-seven Metropolitan plants--the way all Hygeia ice is made. Such Ice is safe to go in, on, or under drinks and foods. Knickerbocker ICE Company EXPECT TO LOCATE MISSING MARSHALL IN MODEL'S MURDER Who killed Dorothy Keenan. model, in her three-room apartment at 144 W.

Manhattan, by pressing chloroform to her nostrils and forcing her to inhale it, and what became of her jewels valued at nearly The police were still a long way from the answer to that question today. Following a conference with Mrs. Anna Keenan, 309 W. 101st mother of Dorothy in Keenan, Inspector John D. Coughlin stated that he expected to hear today from John Marshall, 60 years old, who is believed to have been the last know person with the girl before her body was found.

Inspector Coughlin intimated that Mrs. Keenan knew the whereabouts of Marshall and held him innocent of any connection with the supposed murder. Theories the police had a-plenty, and some clews. One man, Albert E. Guimares, who knew her and on whom she lavished presents, according to the police, they were still holding as material witness.

10 question him." said Inspector are fo not looking for Marshall Coughlin, "because. we have A guaranty that he will appear at headquarters. He seems to have been very good to the girl." Plain Case of Murder. Th police are seeking every person within the circle of Miss Keenan's acquaintance 80 that they might get as much information as to her life as possible. They have been working on the murder theory aince the body was discovered but now that Dr.

Charles Norris, Chief Medical Examiner, calls it "a plain Base of murder," they have redoubled their efforts. "There was every evidence," said Dr. Norris, "that she was held in a vice-like grip until death came to her. The left arm was jammed back of her in a very unusual way. She was lying partly out of the bed when discovered, but that seems the only evidence of a struggle.

It is very difficult to place the exact time of the death and I wouldn't even venture a guess as to when it occurred." These are the salient features of the case: The missing jewels. The peculiar wording of the will found in the room in which the young woman left all her property to her mother and indicated her belief that something might happen to her. Comb May Prove Important Clue. black gutta percha comb was found in the room in a black leather and this has been in the hands of the police, a clue from which they expect much. The label of the four -ounce bottle of chloroform found between the feet of the dead woman had been scraped off with a penknife so that it could be traced to the place of purchase.

There were abrasions on the upper part of the woman's nose and black and blue fingerprints about the eyes. Guimares has been held for 48 hours. Te is charged with violation of the Sullivan law. He has answered all questions put to him but the police are looking carefully into his antecedents. EBBETS AGAIN SAYS CLUB NOT FOR SALE By ABE YEAGER.

State River Regulation, For the Storage of Floods, Aids Water Power Plans By C. A. HEBB. way has been prepared by the State of New York for extensive water power development on interior streams by the policy of regulation and equalization of the flow of rivers, adopted by the State some eight years ago. Whether the policy in respect to water power development shall be for State ownership and distribution of power, or whether private development shall be continued under the present licensing system, the regulation of the flow of rivers 18 a long of utilizing the State's vast resources step toward the ultimate goal--that of "white coal." The interior streams of the State are estimated to hold 1,000,000 horse power of energy.

There is no thought of repeal of this law in the mind of Gov. Smith or any one else, though the Governor's program for water power calls for the repeal of the licensing act. River regulation is an established stitution in the State, and by happy fortune it serves a double purpose: first, holding in restraint and control the rivers of the State at times of seasonal floods, by the construction of dams and creation of storage reservoirs; second, providing the storage basins, in these reservoirs, sary for the full development of the potential hydroelectric power in the st streams. The River Regulating in 1915, Act, as Chapter it is known, was passed 622 of the laws of that year, and amended in 1916, Chapter 584. The primary purpose of the law is to shackle the floods keep the flood waters in storage for the protection of communities that would lie in their paths, and to let them flow off gradually in dry seasons.

This, of course, tends to equalize the flow of the river, and to give a steady flow of power. Power Depends On Minimum Flow. "The power to be developed from any stream 19 determined by the minimum flow of the said Col. William Barclay Parsons, in discussing the State's water power for The Eagle. "Any development of water power requires, first, the creation of storage reservoirs, which increase the mlimum flow and decrease the maximum.

In the case of the Niagara and St. Lawrence Rivers, Nature has provided the necessary storage reservoirs in the DOCTOR NABS BOYS TRYING TO MAKE OFF WITH HIS MOTORCAR The quick work of Dr. Jacob Sheer 514 12th st. resulted in the capture of a gang of alleged boy motorcar bandits last night. One of the number, held on grand larceny charges, according to the police, admits the theft no less than 16 motorcars.

Two of the boys are 14-year-old twins. Dr. Sheer was making a professional call at 272 E. 19th st. last night.

As he left the house he saw several boys in his car a short distance down the street. Dr. Sheer started toward them on a run and they caught to sight. of him and fled. Ono of them, slower than the rest, was caught at the wheel.

He described himself as Roswell Black, 16. of 937 Park pl. The doctor aiso collared Bradley Clark, 14, of 887 Sterling pl. His twin brother. John, and a boy named Percy Campbell, 17, of 891 Lincoln got away, but were arrested later.

According to the police, it was the boys' second attempt in one night to steal a car. A large touring model was found abandoned in the mud at Ave. and E. 10th st. It wAs stolen from in front of the apartment house at Carroll st.

and Brooklyn ave. Black, it is alleged, told the police he and the others had driven it away. Black had in his possession number of keys for different makes of cars. The Clark brothers were held for the Children's Court, Black was remanded for investigation in the Flatbush Court and Campell arraigned in the Gates Avenue Court and held in $1,500 bail. All the boys come from good homes.

MRS. ELLEN CASSIDY DIES IN 100TH YEAR Mrs. Ellen Leader Corish-Cassidy, 99 years old, died on Thursday in st. Catherine's Hospital, where she had been a patient for ten years. She is survived by a son of her first marriage, Dr.

John L. Coris, of Jamaica, two grandchildren. Mrs. Cassidy was born in Ireland and had resided for 83 years in the Williamsburg section, living on Herbert st. most of that time.

She was the oldest member of St. Cecelia R. C. Church, where a requiem mass will be celebrated Monday morning at 10 o'clock. Her first husband was John Corish and her second Edward Cassidy.

Great Lakes. Reservoirs must be built for interior rivers, and the law providing for this, although not primarily a power act, is of great value for water power development." Colonel Parsons calls the River Regulating Act and the State Water Power Act of 1921, under which licenses are issued private development, sister laws." River Regulating Districts. Under the River Regulating Law, the State has authority 1o take by condemnation any property it pleases along a river- -the whole or any part of any watershed---for the construction of dams. "River regulating disare mapped out, property condemned and the construction cost. is assessed upon the property benefited, as determined by board or commission.

The Black River sion, which has been in existence for three years, is now constructing dams on the Black River. The water power owners petitioned for this conI struction and will bear the expense. Last year a petition was filed for similar commission for the Upper Hudson. The Commission has been appointed. with Henry M.

Sage as chairman, and is now starting work. The petition was signed by the cities of Albany and Troy among others. These cities will be relieved of the menace of at least the peaks of crest floods and the Commission will have the power to assess the benefit on any one it pleases, including Albany and Troy. Although the law for regulating the flow of rivers was not adopted for the purpose of creating reservoirs for water power, the law recognizes the possibilities of water power development at the dams. It states specifically that the term "regulating reservoir" as used in the act "is not intended to include a reservoir at or by reason of which there may be, as an incident, the possibility of the utilization of the water stored there for power purposes, without in any way interfering with the primary purpose of a reservoir constructed under the provisions of this article." Again the law provides that every regulating district board shall prepare maps and plans of the storage reservoirs proposed, and shall also prepare "a statement of the amount of water power, if any, which, consistent with the proper regulation of the flow of the river, may be developed by the withdrawal of water for power purposes directly therefrom, with an estimate of the value thereof." BOOTLEGGERS' RING IN LOS ANGELES HAD MOVIE FOLK ON LIST Los Angeles, March 17--Revelations of "one of the biggest 11- legal liquor combinations ever unearthed in the West" was forecast by Federal Prohibition officers today as they reviewed evidence which they stated indicated a number of prominent persons were patrons of six alleged bootleggers caught in raid? here Thursday night.

Bedford, vice president of the Vacuum Oil Company, at 61 Broadway, this morning declared that the statement attributed to Superintendent Russell of the Bloomingdale Asylum, White Plains, published in some of the newspapers, to effect that "Bedford had taken upon himself the full responsibility of capturing his son, Charles E.

Bedford 20 years old." who escaped from that institution, where he was recently committed, is not so. "I have employed private detectives," said Mr. Bedford today, "but they and myself are co-operating with the authorities." Mr. Bedford added that no one could be more concerned in getting trace of his son than himself and every means at his disposal are being exerted to that end. He feels.

however, that the full responsibility for the escape and any consequences rest upon the hospital authorities.

R. Hearst was launched today at a Mariners Harbor, Staten Island, with William Randolph Hearst, Mayor Hylan, Grover A. Whalen, John F. Sinnott and other City Hall dignitaries among those present. Mrs.

Hearst christened the vessel. The W. R. Hearst is the latest addition to growing municipal navy which plies between Manhattan and Staten Island. As she stood on the ways, she was flanked on the left by the nearly completed hull of the saucy John F.

Hylan and on the right by the skeleton of the spanking Grover A. Whalen. The seagoing tug John F. Hylan and the police boat Macom stood by to make the welkin ring with. their heavy whistles, and the Street Cleaning Department Band obliged with martial music as the Hearst splashed her way Into the Kill von Kull.

The launching was witnessed by a large turnout of hired help, both of the shipyard and the city. They gazed upon A a red-leaded hull and partial superstructure. Although the day was the birthday of good cid St. Patrick, the Hearst carried only the flag of the nation. the city and the shipbuilding company.

And a frothing blotch of good champagne stained her bows in smiling defance of the Mullan-Gage law. The police failed to report the Incident. The launching was scheduled for 9 a.m. Owing to the illustrious passenger list carried by the Macom and the unfamiliar waters through which she had poked her way, the christening party did not arrive on time. The tide began to ebb and the shipyard officials began to fret.

About 9:20 o'clock, however, a brave sight hove over the horizon. In battle formation--both were flanked by the Standard Oil refineries and other interests all the way up- -the Macom and John F. Hylan steamed along majestically, fully dressed with bunting. The landing was accomplished with no untoward incident. Then came the time for speeches.

Since time and tide wait for nobody, the Mayor was forced to curtail his remarks to a few polite phrases in which the well- civic virtue of William Randolph Hearst did not suffer one little bit. There followed a great clapping of hands from the hired help, both of the city and the shipyard. The wind blew chill, but the Mayor, still ruddy from Palm Beach rigors, weathered it. A moment of suspense while the blocks were knocked out. A saw worked feverishly.

The hand broke forth into melody. Then, at first undecided and coy, as if bound for a "State convention of Democratic ferryboats, but gathering assurance with every foot down the ways, the W. R. Hearst slid into the water. The clear voice of Mrs.

Hearst echoed against the John F. Hylan and the Grover A. Whalen with her words of blessing. A reception followed on the stand, the Mayor shaking hands and ing upon Mr. Hearst, the patron of the new boat.

First Electric Ferryboat. Oh, yes. The Hearst is the first electric ferryboat for New York. She will specialize in carrying motorcars and other vehicles of the common people. She will have no connection with the Traction Trust.

She will ply between St. George and Cortland Manhattan. She will be ready for the big celebration of the city's twenty-fifth anniversary. And she will bear a bronze placque in her passenger cabin, immortalizing the names of William Randolph Hearst, Mrs. William Randolph Hearst, Mayor Hylan and Commissioner of Plant and Structures Grover A.

Whalen. EUROPE NEARING NORMAL, DECLARES SCHWAB ON RETURN Charles M. Schwab returned today aboard the Aquitania from his Euro. pean trip, which was greatly shortened because of illness. Mr.

Schwab was impressed with the optimistic view that prominent British men have 111 regard to the future of Europe. Mr. Schwab's opinion is that European conditions are gradually inproving and that before long they will be on a very nearly normai basis. He feels that, more than anything else. Europe needs the physical and moral assistance of the United States.

Mr. Schwab's impression is that Germany is in favor of an international commission to adjust affairs in Europe. If such a commission were formed he feels that the United States would be willing to take part and he believes that the personnel commission should include bankers," diplomats and" England I lunched with Lloyd George and Sir Robert Horn, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and found them both optimistic as to the future. Lloyd George was full of activity. I also was with Colonel Harvey, the American Ambassador, where I met the newspapermen of London and I found that the Ambassador was quite himself and apparnly well liked by the English people.

They seemed deeply inter. ested in his pertinent remarks, and look on him as a serious American. In Paris I saw Marshal Foch, but we did not talk politics, the French military leader being mostly interested in talking of the details of the trip he took to America. "As to the affairs in the Ruhr district and the present tension between France and Germany, I was given the impression by those I met that an international commission might be appointed to determine the definite amount of Germany's indebtedness and the proper terms of payment. "I know that the United States will be welcomed on such a commission and it would not be necessary for us to join the League of Nations.

I have been informed that such a measure would be acceptable to the Germans. If we did take a place on a commission I hope the United States would appoint business men as well as diplomats, selecting a big manufacturer and a big banker who know about and can handle business." Mr. Schwab said he was stricken with influenza after his arrival England a. few weeks 450, and was iN in bed ten days and that reason gave up his projected trip into the Ruhr to see things for himself.

Kenvon called Furneaux and together they went in an automobile to the Lawrence Causeway where the truck would have to PASS on its way home.

After a wait of an hour large truck bearing a New York license plate and carrying a New Jersey plate appeared. The officers followed it and saw it deposit one man near the Lawrence depot and three at the corner of Sheridan blvd. and Bayview in Inwood. Kenyon then placed the driver of the truck under arrest and Furneaux chased the three men who had alighted, but was unable to catch them. Inside the truck were four more men who gave their names to Judge Raisig at the police court as An.

buking Brooklyn Dr. him has for Newell sent the a stand Dwight letter he Hillis to recently then took when he appeared at. Albany and advocated the repeal of moving picture regulation. Dr. Hillis said that the parents of children were the best censors of whether or not a picture was proper.

The letter Dr. Hillis is as follows: "The Alliance of Women's Clubs of Brooklyn regrets the attitude you have taken on regulation of motion pictures. We feel you have not a pulse on the situation or you would realize the great improvement in the moral tone of the pictures since regulation was enacted. "The motion picture producers had their chance to 'clean up' and they did not avail themselves of it. "The mothers and guardians of the youth of this great Empire State were the impetus behind the censorship law which is now on our statute books, and it is deplorable that a minister occupying the pulpit of a church that is looked upon a8 a Brooklyn institution (and it.

is A popular belief that minister cannot separate himself from his calling) should aid a cause so unworthy of the support of those who have the best interests of our future citizens at heart." The letter is signed by Mrs. L. D. S. Banker, corresponding secretary.

SPRINGFIELD GAS PLANT RUN BY THE CITY IS DEMANDED Winslow of Central Committee Pleads Case Before Board of Estimate. The Board of Estimate yesterday received communication from Charles H. Winslow, president of the central committee of the 4th Ward of Queens, urging the establishment of a city-owned gas plant in that section of the boro.

Mr. Winslow submitted a resolution adopted by his organization stating that "in view of the persistent refusal of the Woodhaven Gas Light Company to furnish gas to the residents of Springfield," it had made the establishment of a municipal gas plant a public necessity. No action was taken in the matter. A similar request was received by the Board from the Ridgewood Community Council, through the executive secretary of the Community Councils of the City of New York. In this case the request was made for a public hearing on the advisability of city acquiring the property of the Newtown Gas Company with a view to supplying the territory of the company with municipal gas.

The request was filed. The Board adopted a resolution changing the grades of Jamaica Bay Boulevard from Sheridan ave. to the Rockaway Beach division of the Long Island Railroad.
