Fault-Finders May Kill
Bridge, Says Dr. Conwell
Criticism of the bridge plans as
submitted by the engineers may end
In abandonment of the project, Dr.
rtussell II. Conwell told the gradu
ating class of Templo University
yesterday.
Dr. Conwell said the plans had
been prepared by experts who knew
best what the bridge was to rlo and
what was .neeessaryfor It to do it.
Fault-finders, he asserted, would
not only handicap them In carrying
out, their plans, but might even pro
vent the 'construction altogether.

Thomas Mott Osborne, former warden

Declaring that simplicity of living has
been a tradition of Swarthmore College

ued : ,i
"What Rhnll be the nnswer of this

MURDER SUSPECTS
WIFE WITHSTANDS
GRILLING BY POLICE
-
Mrs. Lively Fails to Give Clue
to Whereabouts of Miss
ing Nogro
DECLARES SHE IS SAFER
INSIDE JAIL THAN OUT
The xvito of Louis Lively, sought for
the murder of scvon-yonr-old Matilda
ItiKsso, of Moorestown, N. J., wns sub
jected to n severe cro"s-flre of questions
In her cell nt tho Mt. Holly Jail today,
but detectives got little information.
JShe talked freely of the movement of
herself and her fugitive hu'band before
tho disappearance of 'the little ltusso girl
from her homo adjoining the Lively
house. But the woman said nothing
which betrayed the knowledge the au-
thnrlMpa Holtnvn nlin 1 wltlitinMlntr In
connection with the munlcr and burin 1 1
nf thn ohiM i th nwwnf u'licnuiksmie
of her husband, who is a Nogro.
Shn declared Klin felt better nssiireH nf
safety In hor cell than if she were nt
liberty, because of the public anger
shown since the child's body, with
throat and abdomen slashed, was dis
covered in a grave of sand in the celjar
of the Lively home.
According to bits of statements nnd
admissions, later pieced together by the
detectives who grilled Mrs. Lively, the
information she' has given is as fol
lows: "On May 28 I took my son, Robert,
to Philadelphia nnd placed him with
relatives. Then I went to work nt
Brldgeton, N. J., in the canneries,
and woked there until June 5, whn
my husband came to Brldgeton to eee
me.
Denies Crime Knowledge
"We both then went to Swalnton.
three miles from Cape May Court House,
where we visited my mother. On June
7 my husband wont back to Moores
town. I saw him in Moorestown June
10.
"I know nothing nbout this crime. I
would in no way have my house con
nected with It if I could have prevented
it."
Llvcly's wife displays little or no
nervousness. She is cnlm and con
verses at will concerning everything but
the crime of which her husband is sus
pocterl. Cnt? omes '"ho I "llrectthe'
Hills Parker, chief of the Burlington
tlve the fugitive is in Pennsylvania, but
he would not hint at tho approximate
spot in which bo believed Lively ,(q be
hiding.
Prosecutor Kel&ey, of Burlington
County, declared that speedy justice
would be meted out to the slayer of the
Russo child in the event of his capture.!
Telegrams would be Immediately dis
patched to the Grand Jurors. The clerk
of the court has been roeal'ed from his
vacation nt Sae Girt, and Justice
Kallseh has been notified to be prepared
for Immediate summons lo begin tho trial
of the child's slayer, the minute he is
captured.
Promises "Jersey Justice"
"Wo have yet. to capture the man
and then we will show how fast New
Jersev justice can be meted out," said
Mr. kelsey. ,
"Th cWoIverton act states thnt a
man guilty of murder who confesses
his guilt can be sentenced to life Im
prisonment only. I hope to get nround
this by refusing un admission of guilt
in this case.
"There will be no life imnrlsonmont
for
r the man who committed tnis ternoief
crime. We have two difficult problems, j.nP: the revolver' was In my hand
to deal with. Ono Is that the man re- nmI Josephine was., falling to the side
mnins uncaptured. The other is the at- waj. Ti,en t fan'
tltude with which the newspapers have
taken in dealing with this case, which
has resulted in public feeling that Indi
cates lynch law might be tried.
"If lynch law Is established, it will
defeat the sends of justice because you
ncannot tell how far it would be car
ried."
From detectives it was learned tboti
the fugitive was committed to the New
Jersey state rrison in yeioDor, win.
for larceny and entry in Cape May
County. Hcwns released In 1002.
In 101-1 Lively wns arrested for car
rying concealed deadly weapons and
was sentenced. He was released in
1015. It wus nlso said ho had served a
sentence in the Eastern Penitcutiary in
this city, but this could uot be con
firmed. Suspects Prove Identity
Three suspects were arrested yester
day. One is being detained nt Norris
town, hut-probably will be released.
The others were arrested wore James
Lovcn, who was picked up in Hunting
Park, and told a plausible story, nnd
Joseph Dukes, who wub cleared of sus
picion toda$ in Central Police Court
before Magistrate Renshaw.
Dukes gave a convincing tale of his
nrrlval here on a freight train from .New
York. He said red spots on his shirw
were pumt martin, not uioou, .mini--trato
Renshaw gavo him three months In
tho House of Correction on a charge of
vagrancy.
Neighborhood Aroused
So hot Is the Indignation roused by
the crime thnt the Now Jersey authori
ties will rush Lively, If he Is captured,
to tho Jallat Mount Hollv, In order
to prevent a lynching. Countn De
tective Parker sold that, while tho
fiOO volunteer sleuths who are search
ing tho countryside for the fugitive have
made no threats, their demeanor leads
him to believe that there may be trouble'
If tho man Is brought to Moorestown.
Even the Negroes in Jhnt town are
banded together In the search and repre
sentatives of the race have openly stated
that his capture by any of his owu color
will end in his death.
Chief of Police Brudshaw, of Moores
Uwn, w)io has been working night and
day sinco the murder was discovered,
going virtually without sleep, has taken
every precaution possible against auj
show of violence, however.
The funeral services for tho child wero
held yesterday In the Churchy of Our
Lady of Good Counsel, Mooestowh.
Tho church was crowded.
Tho ,mother of tho child, managed to

i
Prof, John A. Snyder, of the Depart
ment of Astronomy, Central High
School, had hrrd the comet was neurcr
the earth tlmuMl has been for n long
time nnd that It would be for another
while, He was taking the situation
rather phllosopohlcally. He hadn't even
looked for the comet.
Professor Snyder said a comet was
originally un ejection from tho sun,
containing explosives.
It might bo described as a moving vol'
enno. Tho nucleus of It that In, tho
tolld rubsrancc of It is surrounded bj
gasses, much Hko those. Unit como out of
n volcano. It la mostly hydro-rnrbon
gns. The comet moves around the sun
In tin olipi.e, not n circle. When it"
comes near relatively near a heavier
body the proximity reduces the pressure
of its gasseous envelope and that lets
out Its explosives heavy ntoins, clen
irons nnd radiation. These are called
ejections.
Th"o heavy atoms break up into lighter
atoms. Long bofore the comet could hit
the body t was approaching the Int
creasing proximity would rcleuscnll Its
txploslvcs and there would bo nothiiu
left of It. The atoms ejected aro whut
are known as meteors.
Not Heavy Relatively
Professor Snjder said comets. ond
that includes the Pons- Wlinnecko comet
aro not very heavy. Tho Pons-)Vln-neckc
comet is not onv heavier than thef
Rocky Mountains, so, you see, It can't

HOUSE TO ADOPT
PORTER'S PEACE

Long Delay Expected in Iron

Washington, June 1.1. The Porter
peace reholutlon, the House .vendon of
the Knox resolution, undoubtedly will
pass this afternoon ns scheduled. It
differs from tho Senate resolution In
hovcrnl respects, the most important of
which is that It merely declnrcs a state
of .peare to exist while thn Senate reso
lution repeals the declaration of war.
Tho House leaders profess that their
version is more ugreeablc to the Ad
ministration than the Senate version
The Administration declares that It Is
keeping its hands off. The Scnnte, jeal
ous of Its prerogatives, resents the
loer House's attempt to tinker with
foreign relations. The prospects thus
are for a long delay in conference be
tween the two bodies at the end of
which a formula may be found which
will meet the difficulties of a complex
situation.
The opinion Is growing here that
everybody except a few irrcconc!lnb1ct
will be .well content to have the peace
resolution tied up in conference until
the Administration can see inoro clearly
than It does today what will be the
next step after peace Is formnll de
clared. Harding Keeps Hands Off
Mr. Hardins Is keonlns his hunds nfr
The White lloiiho says so nnd there Is
evcrj indication that Senators and Uep-rof-entativc
who vl.sk the White House
regarding peace receive little guidance.

part of the Administration program,
