PAUL, Neb., April 18.—Mrs. Emmanuel Sorenson, 28, wife of a sec- tion foreman, is in the county jail to- night charged with the death by pois- of her own children, her first husband, the latter’s mother and three other children. Found to be mentally irresponsible, she will be taken to the State insane asylum as soon as possible and there will be no prosecution, County ‘Attor- ney Dobrey of St. Paul, Howard County, said tonight. The following deaths are attributed 0 Mrs. Sorenson: “List fo dead: Joe Weldman, her 1920; Mrs. Wilhelmina Weldman, her mother-in-law, who died shortly after her son's death; Minnie Weldman, 6| years old, who died September 7, 1920; Delores Sorenson, 1 year old, daughter of her second marriage, died February 19, 1924; Viola Cooper, 1 year old, a daughter of Mr. Weldman's sister, died July 23, 1918; Clyifford Cooper, 4 months old, died August 20, 1922; Ruth Brock, less than 1-year-old, died February 20, 1923.” Tells of Another Death. Another of her children, the name of whom is unknown at present, was also said to have died of poison ad- ministered by Mrs. Sorenson, the county attorney said. Mrs. Sorenson, he said, was stoical and would make no statement, except that “another one of my children died of convul- sions recently.” Authorities said that the investiga- tion started about three weeks ago. the woman had visited the Irwin Knott family at Danneborg recently and two of the children became sud- denly ill of convulsions. The children, he continued, said they had eaten some cookies given them by Mrs. Sorenson. Tests found that poison had been administered. The investi- gation then was continued, he said, until it led to the arrest of Mrs. Sorenson. Two Other Children Il In addition to the children she is charged with having poisoned, she has two others who were also sick, according to County Attorney Dob- rey. Dr. Fast of Lincoln, an alienist, said that the woman is a paranoic, and has the mind of an 8-year-old child. Every one of the death certificates of the above were examined and it was found that in every instance death was due to poisoning, the coun- ty attorney said. Emanuel Sorenson, the accused woman's husband, told authorities he Sorenson insane, soned the persons. The woman's par- ents who live at Farwell, Nebr., have made no statement on the case. The county attorney says tonight that Mrs. Sorenson is being cared for by a police matron, and has not made a confession. MRS. CUNNINGHAM HEARD.

A 12-acre tract of land in Northwest Georgetown, lying between 42d street and Tunlaw road, has been purchased by the National Capital Park Com- mission, and will become a part of the park system of the District of Columbia, according to an announce- ment last night by Lieut. Col. Clar- ence O. Sherrill, diréctor of public buildings and public parks of the Na- tional Capital and executive officer of the park commission. Col. Sherrill said the land was pur- chased at reasonable prices from Clar- ence F. Norment. The property in- cludes squares 1319, 1313, the major portion of 1314 and portions of squares 1309, 1301 and 1296 W. It lies east of Glover parkway and north of the Archbold estate. “This purchase,” said Col. Sherrill's announcement, “will give a splendid addition to the park system of wood- ed land, which except for this pur- chase would in a very few months have been destroyed for building oper- ations which have gone forth so rap- idly in that area in the past few yvears. It is felt that Mr. Norment deserves considerable credit for his willingness to restrict his building operations to allow the carrying out of the plans of the park commission. ‘Since the passage of the appropria- tion of $600,000 for the purchase of park lands, the park commission has | become impressed with the efforts be- ing made by many of the prominent landowners in Washington to sell vitally important tracts of park land at reasonable figures to fatilitate the carrying out of the park commission’s plans. “In a number of cases not only have landowners made offers to sell at advantageous and low figures, but a number have come forth with offers to donate important tracts of wood- land and stream valleys for the ex- tension of the park system. “The results so far secured are felt to amply justify the action of Con- gress in giving the park commission a lump sum with which to purchase park lands in a systematic and busi- out of a claim which had been made Dby the laborer that his week's wages ere ghort one day’s pay. nesslike way, securing the most ad- vantageous prices through compet: tion and public spirit of the owners.” | Lewis Dalb: | proving the rules the members en- | 8aged in another lively detate over a | | candidates if he so desires, {the rules for the election, | McK.

IN BOMB OUTRAGE Thirteen Generals and Eight Colonels Among Slain—Bell- ringer Reveals Plot. By the Associated Press. SOFIA, Bulgaria, April 15.—Sofia turned to the sorrowful task today of burying those killed in the Sveti Kral Cathedral, when a bomb was exploded there Thursday, during the funeral of Gen Georghieff, who had been assassi: nated several days before. Among those buried today were three mem- bers of the Sobranje, 13 generals, § colonels, 8 high officials and 2 law- yers. The death list has reached 160. while nearly 300 persons are in hospitals seriously injured. The capital is beginning to take on a- more normal aspect, and the circu- lation of individuals in the streets is being permitted until 7:30 in the eve- ning. Numerous tragic processions of men, women and children can be seen han six{proceeding to the cemetery.”The Gov- ernment has forbidden church serv- ices and the entry to the cemetery is only by special permit. Archbishop Was Brave. Many interesting details have been learned of what occurred in the ca- thedral immediately after the explo- sion. It is agreed by all those who were in the edifice that. the attitude of Mgr. Stephan, archbishop of Sofia, who conducted the service, was splen- did. A few seconds after the catas- | trophe he struggled to his feet and { spoke to the people as follows: “Be calm, my brethren, in this mo- ment of trial. May God extend to you His blessings.’ Yesterday several notorious Com- munists and anarchist leaders were arrested, and it is said that papers have been seized proving a Bulgarian engineer officer was involved in set- ting off the infernal machine. The police say one of the accomplices was |the cathedral’s bell ringer, who dis- appeared on the afternoon of the out- rage, but who now has confessed that the morning, before the funeral service, two or three men approached him with the request that they be per- mitted to go to the roof, as they wanted to obtain a good view of Sofia. Consented to Request. Despite his orders from the cathe- authorities the bellringer con- sented, and it is probable that the bomb was then placed on the roof, while afterward some one returned to fix the time fuse. The police opinion is that if the bomb had killed the members of the cabinet, who were attending the | funeral, then the Communists would have tried immediately to set up an- other government. The police say this opinion was confirmed by the ar- rest a few minutes after the explo- sion of a group of armed men who were assembled near the war office with the intention of rushing it. Altogether it is generally consid- ered that the attempt on the life of King Boris on Tuesday, the murder of Gen. Georghief and the cathedral outrage were part of the revolutionary plan; that the Communists, knowing their chances of making a successful revolution throughout the country were slight, decided to try to kill the principal ministers with the hope that in the ensuing confusion it would be possible to create a state of anarchy | which would give way to revolution.

By the Associated Press. DEL RIO, April 18.—Rumors reach- ing here from the State of Michoacan, Mexico, tell of the crucifixion by a group of religious fanatics of one Mariot Leon, who claimed he was the reincarnation of Jesus Christ. The story is without any verification. Leon is said to have declared. that he was Christ and declared he would re-enact the crucifixion and resur- rection. On Good Friday, the report continues, his followers nailed him to a rugged cross where he died in agony. Placing the body in an earth- en tomb, his followers eagerly await- ed resurrection Eastér morning. When he failed to arise they are said to have opened the tomb and sent the hody to Leon’s former home, Piedad, de Cabadas, for burial, nor means and the government has taken every possible measure to safe- guard the peace of the country. It is belleved by the authorities that at- tempts at retaliation will be made. Already numerous cases have been brought to the attention of the police of men and boys who have sworn to avenge the death of members of their families, no matter what the cost. It is understood that Bulgaria will ask permission to increase her armed forces by an extra 10,u00 effectives. The council of ambassadors at Paris will have to give a decision in this respect. Sentiment among Bulgarians and in the foreign colony is over- whelmingly in favor of such an in- crease. SHOGTS TWO POLICEMEN.
