Baffling Underworld Crime Mystery. Chirac Tribnar-OmahK B 1mk4 Wire. Chicago, April 21. Tommy O'Con nor, leader of a gang; of gunmen, holdup artist, brother of "Darling Dave" O'Connor, now in the pen for assaulting a young girl, was named in a confession before , the grand jury as the ( murderer of Jimmy Cherin, one of the most baffling of underworld crime mys teries. The murder of Cherin was followed by the suicide of Cherin's young wife, and she also took with her in death their 3-year-old baby. Louis Miller, aN cab driver, made 1 the confession. He says he drove the car in which Cherin took his last -ride with O'Connor. It is also said , that O'Connor was the leader of the - v.lrh committed the famous "Illinois Central holdup," February 2. 1918, when Dennis Tierney, a spe ctiljoliceman was murdered. Harry Emerson. Jimmy Howard and ' "Pommy O'Connor are said to have f(ic the job. Howard died some titflf later in'a southeastern state. Jtnerson was convicted and Is nJEr ydoing time in the penitentiary at-jotfet . O'Connor remained a . fugitive until last fall, when he was apprehended in disguise at his fath er's horn;. He is now in jail await ing trial for another robbery, but thjfc grand jury will doubtless indict him for -the Tierney and Cherin mur- "daVs. The clearing up of this mys tety is the result of a vowof ven geance sworn by Cherin's. father M?er his dead ibodv. He claims OConnor wanted Cherin jut out of the way because he was becom ing untractable and chiefly because he. was the chief witness in the Tterncy murder.

Business of Navy to Get .Troops Overseas, Cap tain Pratt Says. Washington. April 21. Rear Ad miral Sims' criticisms of the navy's conduct of the war were based on the false assumption that combat ing? the German submarine cam paign was the main object of the United States navy, Captain Pratt, former assistant chief of operations, testified today before the senate in vestigating committee. The chief mission of the American navy, Pratt declared, was to organ ize the service of supply transporta tion in conjunction with the army and to get American troops over seas safely and swiftly. The British got the submarine sit uation under control in 1917 before the United States could have assist ed, the witness declared, and held it to the end. "The United States navy was a contributing factor, but never the deciding one in defeating the sub marine, Pratt told the committee. "The department had, to adjust the total naval effort so as to use our forces to the -; greatest advantage against the enemy as a whole. In reviewing the general conduct of the war it is difficult to-see wherein the plan of campaign could be changed if w had it all to do fever again." May Resell Wheat New York, April 21.
