Rejected Love
I Traced in Brutal
Murder of Girl
Police Search for Small Town
Sweetheart of Louise Law
son, Who Complained
of “Pest.”
New Torlc, Fob. 9.—The spectre of
unrequited love—lot e of a small town
sweetheart for a jeweled moth of
Broadway—today stalked to the cen
ter of the stage of the Bright Lights
over-old tragedy—the murder of Miss
Louise Lawson, beautiful young
musician.
Six years ago Louise Lawson came
to Broadway from Walnut Springe,
Tex., dreaming her girl dreams of
>>'ew York, fame—the stage. She
w hispered goodby to "the boy."
Yesterday police found her dead.
She had been mysteriously strangled.
Today police are seeking “the boy"
for questioning to see what he knows,
if anything of the case.
Louise Lawson’s friends told detec
tives of him. Ho had loved the
"jew’eled moth" in the days of their
friendship in Texas. When she came
to New York he followed. The city
enthralled her. For a time both were
happy. They were seen places to
gether—the balcony of the shows;
the cheaper cabarets; the concerts.
Then older and wealther men enter
!?^*d the life of Louise I^iwson. She
cast aside the boj\ Often he tried
to see her.
"Tell him I'm out—tell him I’m
always out—he's just a pest,” friends
quoted Miss Lawson as saying. An«f
so. "the boy" came to he known as
"the pest." That is the only name
police have for him today as they
search for him.
Meanwhile 20 detectives followed a
secret clew given them by Miss Peggy
Tompkins, friend and neighbor of the
slain girl. Miss Tompkins was said
to- have furnished police with the
name of a man whose voice ehe said
she thought ahe recognized as he
asked admittance to Miss Lawson's
apartment early yesterday morning
just before she was murdered.
Long Time Farm
Credits Urged
Washington. Feb. 9. — President
Coolidge Friday received Klmer Landes
of the Farm Loan board and more
Ilian 60 managing directors of joint
stock land banks, in conference here
for the purpose of effecting a close
> o-ordination of tne various units of
tne agricultural credits system.
"There is s feeling of hysteria
among national leaders and a general
lack of confidence throughout the
west, due to deplorable condition# 1#
agricultural sections,” M. L. Corey,
member of the farm loan board, told
the bankers. "Any relief Is only tem
porary until such a time ns the prices
of agricultural commodities shall
reach a fair level.
v "It is unsound to write five-year
loans for farmers when they know
and we know that they will be unable
to liquidate them in that time. They
need long time credits on the amorti
zation plan."
Black Tells of
Postoffice Here
"The business of the postoffice is
io sell service," Postmaster Charles
E. Black told the Alexander Hamil
ton club at the club’s monthly meet
ing at the Rome hotel last night.
The postmaster declared that the
mails have been revolutionized in the
last 30 years. IIs regarded the rural
arm delivery system as the most im
portant advance.
Ho cautioned against tending oath
through the mails, as there is no way
of tracing it.
"Omaha is now the Washington of
Nebraska,” he said, "Claims and such
decisions are sent to Omaha for set
tlement instead of to the national
capitol. Three thousand men are
employed out of the Omaha postoffice
and 688 of them are employed in the
city. __

or broken out skin, the itching stops
and healing begins, says a noted skin

made into a pleasant cold cream,
gives such a quick relief, even to
fiery eczema, that nothing lias ever
been found to take its place.
Because of its germ-destroying
properties, it quickly subdues the
itching, cools the irritation and heals
the eczema right up. leaving a clear,
smooth skin In place nf ugly erup
tions. rash, pimples or roughness.
You do not have to wait for im
provement. It quickly shows. You
can get a little jar of Bowles Men
tho Sulphur at any drug store.
