August 28.—Another chapter in Broadway's nigit life slowly is being revealad to police in their search for the murderer of John H. Sutphen, a private secretary who was found dead, a warm pipe in his jmouth, day before yesterday. Two flashily dressed women, the presence of cyanide in Sutphen’s stomach, a third woman known as Mrs. Sutphen.” who lived in his apartment, and a real Mrs. Sutphen m New Jersey, were the tangible .acts police had to work on. -1t alsy was learned that Sutphen, although I\hnrklnx at a comparatively small salary, had been paying high rent for more than a year for the Central Park West apartment which he occupled Women In Apartmenat. The two women were- first seen in cn's apartment by a medl ex- who went to the spot when retary’s body first was discov- a friend who said he had taken Sutphen home In an intoxicat- ed condition the night before. One of the mysterles confronting the police is_how the poison was.ad ministered. No glasses showing trace: of cyanide had been found in the apartment and this was partially ac- countable for the police discarding the suicide theory. There was a sUg- gestion that the death potion had {been placed in the stem of Sutphen's plpe. No definite motive could be found for the murder. although police stressed the importance of finding the women seen in the apartment. Lived on Lavish Scale. Sutphen’s expenditures and their irelation to his probable income as { private secretary to George A. Helme, tobacco and snuff manufacturer, were {studied by the police. Sutphen lived lavishly, paying $12. 000 a vear for his apariment and pre: sumably paying also for the home in which his wife and a child live iIn New Jersey. The apartment was stocked with liquors and elaborately | furnished. Sutphen was said to have Inherited $300.000 from his mother, who died in Englishtown. N. J. a little over a week ago. He Is said to have been interested in other pursuits. including !an automobile accessory business. LEGACY REPORT DENIED. Sutphen's Mother Still Alive in H New Jersey Town. | ENGLISHTOWN, N. J., August 28.— Reports that John H. Sutphen, found i poisoned in his New York apartment, had recently inherited $300,000 from Ihis mother, were exploded today when it was learned that his mother was {still living and that Sutphen's funeral { would be held from her home Thurs- | day. it was understood, however, that some money had been left Sutphen by the wife of a local manufacturer who had employed him as a private secretary. This woman died sbout two weeks ago. Sutphen had maintained his wife and child here for the past five years.

Once old women, clad In aprons and sunbonnets, spent long hours picking through the ashes, getting out a supply of fuel for winter use. Today the dumps are wvold of inhabitants, except for a fow men who go at the salvaging in a method- lcal way, and for a few colored boys, playing about. Continued building eperatioms have resulted in practically all the public dumps In the District being filled in and covered over, some of them al- ready built upon, others to be covered with buildings before many years. That is why the crippled colored man, his legs gone at the knees, sits at the dump between the Highway bridge and the Arlington experiment farm. He is a modest man, in his way, resolutely refusing to allow his photograph to be taken, at the same time that he philosophizes about the dumps and thair past glories. Just Odds and Ends. “What do you get here, uncle?” he was asked. “Oh, odds and ends, oddy and ends,” he replied, gazing out over the dusty expanse across which could be seen a horse and wagon, with a couple of boys delving through the heaps, rais- ing up. now and then, to throw some- thing in the wagon. A haze of fine E -dust blew across the dump. : Don’t you ever et anything valu- able The philosopher smiled. metimes we gets a few spoons or knive “I suppose lots of them are thrown away carelessly? 1 h, quite a few, quite a few."

R rything comes to the dump in replied the colored man It was a stunning answer. It came, like a gleam of sunshine out of storm clouds, sending a ray of mental sun- shine over the dusty dump. It was so sudden, so uncxpected an answer to hear from the lips of the man sitting there motionless on the ash heaps. erything comes to the dump in time,” mused the other. “Yes, every- thing comes to the dump in time.” Hopes of years and dreams of youth all come to the dump in time. Yon twisted chandelier, stained and muddy, perhaps once adorned the parlor of the {home of a young couple, as they start- {ed on their life’s journey together. But today it lies on the dump. May- be those who once sat beneath its ra- diance have gone to the dump, too. Perhaps they are sitting in more ra- diant splendor. beneath brighter and pewer chandeliers, their old friend forgotten. Who knows? Everything comes to the dump in time Paper and 014 Magazin, Here come great loads of paper, old magazines, newspapers, rags. The | magazines are coverless and yellow with age. The newspapers, containing the embalmed work of many men the world over, now lie forlorn on t heaps, with none so poor to pay them | reverence except men binding them into bales to sell for a few pennies. As for the rags, they are being eol- lected, to be transformed somewhere, | some day into paper. They tell a tale, on the dumps, of a man who managed to make a com- plete automobile out of things he picked up on the dumps. They admit that he had the chassis and the en- gine, but declare that all the rest he got on the dumps. ! By raking around he found old| fenders, for instance. He took them | home, cleaned them with kerosene, and repainted them, then fitted them | to his car. He went back to the dump, and by dint of searching, managed t. locate other necessary parts of a com plete automobile. By dint of much cleansing and| painting, his car soon was refitted trom the dumps, and for a long time | went around the streets, but few per- sons suspecting that most of its | equipment came from the “jumping off place. { TAKEN IN 3-YEAR CHASE.
