Hendricks did not offer any detnilH of
the robbery, beyond denying that It
was a "hold-up.
Clues have been found In riiilndfl
phln which may lead to the nrrest of
the slaer of Ilrinrlch von Tickler, nld
to have been a Oerman count. He was
killed In Atlantic City n week ago.
A checked cap said to have belonged
to the RUKpect shifted the hunt to thin
city. The cap Is stained with blood,
and detectives are declared to know who
owns It.
Captain of Detectives Bonder said
Harry Wilson, n private detective em
ployed by County Trosecutor Onsklll,
had been In Philadelphia since Tues
day night running out clues In connec
tion with the murder.
"Hut he has not consulted mc, or
sought the co-operation of tht Philadel
phia authorities," Captnln Souder said.
The man wanted is about thirty years
old and weighs about 100 pounds. He
Is dark-complexioned, and hns straight
black hair. He Is sitid to wear "Hashy"
clothes.
Itohbery and reveugc were given ns
motives for the crime by Atlantic Citv
police. Wilson says Von Plckler was
known to have a considerable sum of
money on his person, which was miss
ing when the body was found.
During the war Von Plck'c wns
frank In denouncing his fatherland. At
one time, the detectives say, he was
npproached by Oerman secret ugents,
whom he repulsed.
The latter theory, that the Prussian
was murdered out of revenge for1 Ills
refusal to espouse the cause of Ms
own country, Is the more strongly
Credited. The detectives believe he was
killed by two lilred assassins, traveling
In a motorcar, xnry ininK mc car re
turned to this city, where one of tho
men remnlncd, while the other returned
to New York by roll.
Letters discovered among the dead
man's effect by William Carlton, who
was oppolnted proctor of his estate,
definitely establish his right to the title
of Count von Plckler, It Is declared.
Tiinu. letters were sent to him by his
nunt, Countess von Ituelow, WurUburg,
ltavorln. She Is closely related to the
famous Von UucIowb of the Kaiser s
regime. Von Plckler Is said to have
been the heir of the countess nd also
to share In other large estates. In the
fatherland.

were so rushed with previous orders

Some thought the city fathers hud
proclaimed Mln Independence vKnunrc

bright colors; that they wanted her to
wear just' the simple green velvet tlntt
usually forms the predominate note In
her summer gowns anyway. Hut City

Near Saratoga, a headstone in the cemetery
thus epitomizes a life's effort.
In the files of our wartime periodicals, some
advertisements now stand as mute evidence of
similar weak "try-outs of advertising" by well
meaning but short-winded corporations.
National advertising need not be experimented
with, it works.
Either advertise or don't advertise, but save
yourself the cost of "trying out" advertising and
don't start for a run of less than five years.
