Disappear and So Does
Tombstones Fail to
Hide Rum Runners
Boston, March :5 Two alleged
rum runners who sought to avoid
capture hare found that tomb stones
afford small shelter In dodging po
licemen. When policemen, who had been
shadowing a sedan suspected of con
taining alcohol, took up the chase
last, night, the two occupants decided
to trust to their feet, and dove from
' tho car while it was still tn motion.
They dashed Into the historic
North Dorchester cemetery, seeking
to elude capture by hiding behind
the mos3 covered markers, but the
; police closed In suddenly. The cap
jtured men described themselves as
I Frank Sullivan and James Donovan.
I Their car. which had wrecked lt
is'Mf in collision with a truck, was
j found to contain a large quantity
of Scotch whiskey essence.
About $50,000.
Chicago, March 25 W Two
m;n and a Monde actress were
nought, by authorities today to pro
vide the sequel to a romance re
volving around the Chicago wheat
pit.
A warrant charging embezzle
ment has been issued for Joseph
Morison, 32, paying teller for the
Bankers' State bank, Chicago,
hose accounts were found to be
about $20,000 short. The other man,
a broker's clerk, has disappeared
with his accounts around $30,000
short.
Until a week ago, all three lived
at the same address, officers learn
ed, and Morrison and the girl left
at the same time. Investigators are
wondering if the two men stole to
outdo each other in retaining the
girl's affections, or to provide funds
for trl-partnershlp market opera
tions. Morrison, police were told, has a
wife In Canada.
"DEVIL WORSHIPPERS"
SUSPECTED OF MURDER
California Authorities Trying to
Sohe Mystery of Man's
Drain.
Oakland, Calif., March 2S WV
Evidence that a society of "Devil
Worshippers" may have been in
some way responsible for the recent
death hero of Macarlo Tlmon, goat
raiser, and suspected bootlegger, was
being Investigated today by tho po
lice. Found with his throat cut In a
house containing many weird, cabal
istic books and documents, there Is
somn suspicion that Tltnon may have
been the victim of a secret order,
possibly a cult of "Devil Worship
pers." Supporting this suspicion is
a letter addressed to "Lucifer" sign
ed by Tltnon and appealing for aid
in realizing certain unnamed ambi
tions. The letter was written In a
fluid that may have beeri hlood.
Among the hooks reported found
is one supposed, to be the ritual of
some occult order. It Is In a Latin
language, .
Police, however, take the "Devil
Worship" theory with a gain of salt.
Broken wine bottles and glasses In
thet house and s large quantity of
wine In the cellar give rise to an
other possibility which police say is
that. Tlmon may have been killed
in a drunken brawd.

AFFECTING RIVER
No Flood Expected at Hartford
Right Away
Hartford, March J5 Although
tain was predicted hero for today
and tonight, cold weather expected
to follow the storm tomorrow will
offset any threatened rise of the
Connecticut river here. The river
this nfornlng was 8.8 feet high at the
State street dock, the water falling
from the seven foot mark It had at
tained yesterday. This drop was duo
to tho tide, which causes a fluctua
tion In the river, and because no
unusual weather conditions uro ex
pected within the next 48 hours.
Meteorologist Harry E. Adams does
not anticipate high water for the
present. Nevertheless, he said, the
river Is being watched carefully for
a sudden rise.
People living In sections that
would he affected by a flood are tak
ing precautions to proterft them
selves In emergency. Collars that
have been flooded In the past are be
ing cleared and boats on the river
fllmly moored. The water has ap
proximately six more feet to climb
before reaching tho flood point.
Roston, March 25 (P) The danger
of flood conditions resulting from
the spring break-up In northern New
Kngland became less Immediate to
day when the weather bureau pre
dicted colder weather for tonight
and Trlday. Freezing tepiperatures,
It was believed, would delay the
melting of the mountain snows and
allow tho winter's accumulation to
run off gradually.
Several days of rain and warm
weather had threatened floods duo
to the unusually heavy snowfall of
tho waiter. Reports ffom many
northern New Kngland points Indi
cated that the rivers were at high
stage but had not approached the
danger point. ', ' "
Bain was falling today In Boston
jind elsewhere In tho New Englend
territory but the forecast Indicated
that It would turn to snow by night
fall. . .
