mis wouiu nnng tne total an
thorized fund to be expended in the
government's building program to
163 thousand dollars. Elliott est!
mated this to be sufficient to take

all cities in the country having

In addition it is expected also to
care for the needs of about 40 towns

obtained.
The Elliott bill would divide the
authorization so that 115 thousand

Philo Vance on
Mystery Killing
Famous Sleuth Pitted Against Array
of Misleading Facts and Con
tradictory Clues.
ODELL MARGARET, 184 West
7lBt Street. Sept. 10. Murder:
Strangled about 11 p. m. Apart
ment ransacked. Jewelry stolen.
Body found by Amy Gibson,
maid.
"Here, in a few commonplace
words, is the bleak, unadorned state
ment of one of the most astonishing
crimes in the police annals of this
country a crime so contradictory, so
baffling, so ingenious, so unique that,
for many days the best minds of the
district attorney's office were com
pletely at a loss as to even a method
of approach."
That is the introduction S. S. Van
Dine, famous author of detective sto
ries, gives "The Canary Murder
Case."
Margaret Odell. known as "The
Canary," Broadway's most coldly am
bitious showgirl gold-digger, is found
strangled to death in her apartment.
Philo Vance, whimsical society man,
who has gained fame as an amateur
detective, is brought in on the case.
"Who Murdered the Canary?" Was
Mannix, the fat broker who loved
The Canary until she threatened to
show his letters to his wife? Was it
Spotswoode who feared for his son
in the grasp of the scheming wom
an? Was it Lindquist, the half-insane
doctor, mad with love of her?
Was it Cleaver whose political career
she menaced?
"It's none of them!" says Heath,
the detective, and he arrests Alya La-
Fosse of the Canary chorus and her
sweetheart. Jimmy SDOtswoode. son
of Vance's best friend. Alys lived
next door to The Canary and Jimmy
had quarreled with Alys and let him
self into The Canary's power.
'It's one of them!" says Heath,
another man was locked in the closet
and saw the murder. Find him and
he'll tell you who the murderer is!"
But only the body of the eye-wit
ness is round ne. too. nas Deeu
strangled! With the case thus com
nlieated. Vance works to save his
friend's son. He learns not only who
did the murder but how the murder
er got in and out of The Canary's
locked apartment; why The Canary's
voice was heard screaming tnrougn
the closed door; why the mysterious
man hid in the closet and what was
the powerful motive for the sensa
tional crime.

The jury's decision carried with it

killing that she had stabbed her hus
band's "best friend" when he at

husband of the exonerated woman,
stated following the verdict. "He was
my best friend and frequently at my
home. He was of a nervou3 temper
