ONCE LIVED IN WHEELING
Missing New 'Yerk Creek Said
te Have Claimed Safety
There .
Charges of murder, larceny and theft
of an automobile have' been mndc by
the pollce against Peter T. Trcadway
and Marie Phillips, alias Williams.
The two were arrested In Wheeling,
W. Va., after fleeing from Philadelphia
last Sunday morning in the powerful
car belonging te Henry T. Pcirce, after
Peircc had been murdered nt 2007 Mar
ket street.
Detective William Belshaw, head of
the murder squad, announced today
(bat the formal charges had been writ
ten en the "slate" in the reserves'
roll-room at City Hall against the
names of the prisoners.
Though Trcadway and the girl have
been "slated," they have net had a
hearing, nor will they have, according
te the detcctives7 until Monday at the
earliest. Several days' work remains
te be done, running out clues furnished
by Trcadway's statements te the po
lice, both verbal and written.
Beth prisoners spent a bad night.
Trcadway Shows Strain
Trcadway, after hours of almost
continuous questioning, is far from
being the dapper young man be was
when brought in Thursday night. With
haggard and unshaven face, dirty linen
nnd wrinkled clothes, he leeks a geed
deal mero like the underworld thug nnd
loafer Ills record shows him te be than
lie looked a couple of days age.
The police say they arc sure he has
a "record" in'the, technical sense. They
believe he was nrrciitcd last January
with an Indian girl they knew as Flor
ence for shoplifting. The girl took
the blame and get three months. Trend
way worked under se many names, the
police say, that it has been almost im
possible te get a complete "line" en
him.
Mnric, the young woman of almost
Innumcrabla'allases and unexampled im
pudence, who calls herself "Mrs. Tread
way" when she is net expressing a
preference for some ether from- her
collection of names, was draggled nnd
oebcgene this morning after n sleep
less night,
Marie's Bravado Fading
The detectives say she has lest most
of the large bteck of vanity, conceit and
self-confidence she brought with her te
City Hall. Fear is beginning te be felt
that geed leeks and bravado will net
carry her through her present ordeal.
The young woman was questioned
late yesterday nfternoen, after the de
tectives had finished with Trcadway,
and the questioning was resumed last
night and carried en until a late hour.
This morning she had another un
pleasant session with her questioners,
and probably will be taken before Cap
tain Souder and Dctcctlve Belshaw once
mere this nfternoen. What they get
from her they have net divulged.
The last shadow of doubt that Trcad
way told the truth when he said "Al"
lived at Eighth and Spruce streets, in
a rooming house ever a cigar store, was
removed when, during the seven-hour
I'ress examination te which he was sub
jected, the detectives shot this sudden
question at him:
Plaster en Smith's Cheek
"Did this Smith have any dis
tinguishing marks?"
"Yes," Trcadway answered. "A few
days before he had a boil lance-' en his
cheek, and It was covered with a strip
of gauze and adhesive nlnster."
Mrs. Solemon Chase, proprietress of
me lodging neuse, nail tow detectives
the roomer who paid n week's, rent in
advance Friday, disappeared Satur
day, nnd returned for his bag some
time In the small hours Sunday morn
ing had a similar patch of gauze and
adhcslve tape.
The police arc seeking far and wide
for Harry Keudrick, a New Yerk un
derworld friend of Treodwey's. It is
said he answers the description given
of the mnn that Trendway nnd the
woman call "Al" Smith.
Though the police are net willing te
say that Kcndriekvand Smith arc one,
they admit they want te question the
New Yerk man, and te learn of his
movements preceding the murder.
It la believed lie enn hi. nf nun tn
help uncover Trcadway's past, If for
uu umer iurpesc. iteuiinci; is fciuu te
be a native of Wheeling.

Moero Repeats "Baby-Bluffer"
Charge When Vare Man
Demands Retraction t
SAYS HE MADE HIM SQUEAL
Councilman Charles B. Hall's threat
of prosecution for slander or libel
brought definnec today from Mnjer
Moere.
"Let him proceed in whatever man
ner he sees fit," the Mnyer said, com
menting en the letter sent him by the
Seventh ward leader, who Is the Vare
organization snekesmnn in Council.
In view of Mr. Hall's threat It was
regarded as slznlficnnt thnt the Maver
conferred redny with City Solicitor

den and former Judge A. M. Beitler.
Nene of these present would discuss
the conference, held in Mr. Moere's of
fice and lasting about fifteen minutes.
Mayer Called Him "Baby"
Mr. Hall, called "n baby" and "a
bluffer" by Mr. Moere, fumed ever u
statement In which the Mnyer said
city-prrJiicrty at Tenth rtffd Lembard
streets wns used for Illegal purposes
under the protection of the Vnrc coun
cilman. His letter gave the Mnyer a choice
of disavowing the statement as innc
curate, retracting it, or proving his as
sertion in court. .Mr. Moere dictated
this statement in reply :
"Nothing te say about Hall nnd his
threatening letter except that huch an
answer ns he proposes may serve te
open up an inquiry into the whole per per
nlcieus system of contractor-combine
control, including Hall's leadership in
the Seventh ward, which would be
highly beneficial.
"If Hall, who is a mere satellite of
the contractor combination, wants such
an Investigation, let him proceed in
whatever manner he sees fit. The Mayer
has said that this man, who has taken
ndvantngc of his ceuncilmanlc position
te poison the public mind with regnrd
te the Muyer, is a baby und a bluffer,
nnd that he would squeal when btuck
with a pin. Evidently he has been
stuck."
Hall Replies Te .Mayer
Shortly afterwards, Councilman Hall
made this reply te the Majer's latest
statement :
"I have nothing te say except thnt I
will give the Muyer an opportunity te
prove what he has said about me. He
can put the contractors' cellar around
my neck if he be wishes, but when he
attacks my personal character, which I
have spent a lifetime in building up,
he will be held te strict accountability.
"I will consult with my attorneys
early next week nnd take Immediate
action. I have 000 witnesses who knew
I have cleaned up thnt suction rather
than having been Interested in it In
the manner the Mayer alleges."

New Yerk, Nev. 27, Oothnmtewn
lins gotten mere or less used te mili
tary spectacles in the last few years,
but the annual football f.-aeas between
the Army and Navy txidnj Is something
else again.
After a swirling, band -playing,
marching hullabaloo all morning In the
central sections of New Yerk the main
query here today wns "Where is the
I'ole Grounds?" and the mnin demand
wns for tnxis te get there, the quicker
the better. Genernls and ndiniruls piled
en beard, net te mention n riotous
mixtures of doughboys anrr gobs, big
statesmen and n sober smutterlug of
somber citizenry.
Nenrly 50,000 tickets have been dis
tributed for the game and none of these
fortunate enough te get the coveted bil
lets wanted te miss a minute of it. The
first thing eti the pregrnm this after
noon is the parade of the rival cudets.
Since the occasion is as much a social
function as a football game, It is xln
the nature of a distinct faux pas te miss
nnj pert of the doings te be staged ut
the l'ole Grounds this afternoon.
In all the excitement of the thousands
of uniformed guests of the cltj , to
ward game time there was a steadily
Increasing clamor for mere tickets, anil
such speculators as had n few remain
ing pasteboards did a highly prosperous
and profiteering business.
Gray weather hung overhead but it
didn't dampen the enthusiasm of nn,
body.
While neither of the elevens has the
foetbull strength of Yale, Harvard,
I'rlneeten, Pcnn State or Pitt, this will
be offset by the bitter rivalry which
has existed since the two service tennis
began their bcries of clashes just thirty
two years age.
As a colorful, martial spectacle, no
event in this country can eiiunl the
gridiron grapple of the Army Mule nnd
nnd the Navy Geat. Huge sections of
the Pole Grounds hnve been reserved
for the Middles and Cadets. The gray
clad boys from West Point will be
blocked off in one section of the great
bnscball stadium and en the opposite
side the picturesque youths from
Annnpelh will be Heated,

center of officialdom In the services'.
