Carey was drugged to death and. robbed of $200,000. on July'23. The police and Dr. Hugh F. Carey of Chicago, brother of the murdered man, before whom the alleged con- fessions were made, believe that American members of the ring tip- ped the local gang that the Buf- falo man was coming to. Montreal with a large sum of money and that they set their dines for him. The bait used, according to the statement attributed to the prison- er, was bootleg whiskey. According to the confession the gang operated two dens near Bona- venture station. To them were lured strangers with the promise that they would get whiskey across the bar without going to the trouble of going to the government liquor commission. Once- in the dens they -were drugged and robbed. The prisoner was betrayed to the police by the sole woman member of the ring. She was said to have quarrelled with her male compan- ions over the division of the spoils.

LABOR ASKS IMPEACHIM OFDAUGHETY ©• © Borah Asked to Move Against Attorney Gen- era,! and Judge MBERS SILENT Brotherhood Chiefs Express Hope That Overtures May Succeed CLEVELAND, Sept. 6—Members of three train service brotherhoods W. F. Stone, of the engineers, D. B. Robertson of the firemen and enginernen and W. G.

C. —Glenn H. Curtiss, aviation ex- pert, today went \sea soaring\ ov- er Manhasset Bay in a sail plan:, which on two occasions took the air when towed by a speed' boat, stayed aloft 49 seconds each time with the tow line cut and ' then glided gracefully down to the wat- er again. This was said to have been the first time a marine glid- er had ever risen from the wat- er. At the end of the experiment, observed by a large party of en gineers, Mr. Curtiss expressed him- self well pleased with the result of the test made under atlverse conditions with a light wind and then gave himself over to interest- ing speculation on the possibility of \air trains\—a number of sea. planes towed through the air by a motored sea-plane. The theory that trailers, could be attached to a flying boat was ad-.| vanced by aviation experts who watched the flights after W. L. Gilmore, chief engineer of the Curtiss Corporation discovered that the seaplane tugged very lightly at the tow line. With the sail plane 30 feet in the air Mr. Gil- more grasped the line and fount that he could hold it with one hand. Later, when the theory was laid before Mr. Curtiss he said he be- lieved it would be practical to tow a sail plane behind a flying boat at considerable heighth without danger. Representatives of the Aeronautical Chamber of Com- merce then announced that such an experiment probably would be | made soon. The sail plane used in today's test was, except for its blunt noso, almost a copy, on a reduced scale, of tlie N. C. 4, the 'first aircraft to fly the Atlantic. NEW YORK, Sept. 6—Denials by railroad executives that secret meetings were scheduled with a view to ending the long strike of railroad shopmen and requests by eastern labor leaders that Attor- ney General Daugherty and- Federal Judge Wilkerson of Chicago be im- peached because of the recent gov- ernment injunction featured the rail situation here today. The executives emphatically de- nied stories from the west that se- cret meeting had been arranged in Baltimore. They said that the rail- road association had not counten- anced any such meetings and add- ed that if any were held only in- dividual roads would be represent- ed. \And it is certain that all the roads are a unit on the issue of seniority\ said R. S. Binkerd, sec- retary of the association. \So that even if a few roads settle the strike they will do so' on the terms we outlined at the conference with the brotherhoods last month. No rail- road will change its position on that point at this time.\ T. Dewitt Cuyler, president of the association, issued a statement in which he denied the possibility of meetings, and he too declared that the railroads were perfectly well pleased with the way men were coming back to work. The railroad head also denied that the strike was causing perishable food sent to New York by up-state farm- ers to arrive from one to two days late. In answer to that report they gave out a statement which show- ed that vegetables and foodstuffs arc arriving in the city now about as frequently as they did the same week in 1921. From the labor side, the big move was a telegram sent by John J. Dowd, chairman of the strike com- mittee of the eastern shopmen to Senator Borah calling for the im- peachment of Mr. Daugherty and Judge Wilkerson. The result of the resolution adopted by the executive commit- tee of the central trades and labor council last night, calling upon every trade unionist in the greater city to assess himself one day's pay will enable the shop craftsmen to remain on strike several months longer than expected, according to David Williams, secretary of the central strike committee from the metropolitan district WOODIN SEES NO DANGER OF COALSHORTAGE Uurges Economy in Use of Fuel Until Winter . Sets In NEW YORK Sept. 6.—William H. Woodin, the new state fuel ad- ministrator, took up his work today and announced, after his first meet- ing with the governor's advisory commission on coal and its three auxiliary committees, that he would retain these committees for the present at least and that he would attempt to carry out the distribu- tion of coal in this state through the already established channels. \The state of New York,\ Mr. Woodin declared, \will not go into the coal business unless it is forced to. It -will try to use the regular channels of coal distribution as much as possible. This will be the attitude of the coal administration unless it is found that there are , infractions of its rules and unless I subsequent events make a change necessary.\ Mr. Woodin's first official aGt was to cancel the entire order for 100,- 000 tons of coal which had been placed with coal operators by the emergency commission to avert possible shut down of public util-* ities and important industries. The necessity for economy on the part of coal users was-empha- sized by Mr. Woodin, 'but he said there was no cause for alarm about a possible shortage. Not until cold weather approaches will it be pos- sible to estimate with accuracy the sore spots in the state.'s coal situa 1 tiqn, he said. Mr. Woodin will have as his le- gal adviser Colonel W. J. Donavan, formerly commander of the 301st cavalry regiment. LEWIS ASSETS CONTRACT WILL BE 1,000 TRAINS CARRYING MAIL M WITHDRAWN Draining Nation's Life Blood Declares Postal Official to Clerks WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—The Republican conferees on the ad- ministration tariff bill have come to the. high spots of controversy with some indications of dead- locks.

The chairman still are hopeful that the conferees can wina un their woirk this week and have their reports ready early nex{ week.
