S — - SLAYER THREATENS T0 KILL HIMSELF Confessed to Strangling Girl, Shooting Aunt and Burning Home. By the Associated Prees. AUGUSTA, Me., June 4.—Precau- tions are being taken to prevent Har- ry A. Kirby, confessed murderer, from killing him f. Through the hars of his cell in the county jall here yester- day, he admitted to County Attorney Southard that he strangled to death Miss Aida Hayward, shot her aunt, Mrs. Emma M. Towns, and then set fire to_their cottage at Lake Marama- cook, Winthrop, Me., on the night of May 19. Kirby after the confession threatened to commit suicide. He said he w drunk when he en- tered Miss 'H rd cottage and shot down Mrs. Towns. He admitted that his story of finding Miss Hay- ward's body in the woods and car ing it to the cottage he occupled was a lie. Instead, he sald, he carried her to his house, after shooting her aunt, and left her bound and gagged while he returned to set the cottage afire. Choked Her for Screaming. said he was still drunk the when he choked Miss Hay- ward to death “because she scream- ed.” Meanwhile, he admitted, he went back to the blazing cottage with the rest of the townspeople and joined for a_while in the hunt for the missing Hayward girl Kirby said the confe; prompted by the plea of his wife. Later he dictated a story of his life,” including the confessfon, and sold it to a newspaper man on condi- tion that the proceeds go for the sup- port of his wife and child Figst intimation that Kirby was ready to confess came when he asked ‘ounty Attorney Southard be The prosecu! ached the | hin half an hour and the pris- greeted him with the words: m guilty of all the crimes you charged me with While the county attorney lounged against the cell door, Kirby, slumped in his prison chair, unemotionally told his story. County Attorney Southard said the confession was enough to send Kirby to prison for life here, but that if other States want to try him for other murders of which he is sus- pected he has the chair to fear. PRINCESS ELAINE WINNER IN HER SUIT FOR EVICTION AGAINST CARRY-ON CLUB __ (Continued from First Page) was court today in a cool gray costume of silk crepe. Three witnesses were put on this morning by the club. They were Thomas F. Gormley of the Veterans' Bureau; Charles A. Carter, pioneer member of the club, and Simon F. Mec- Hugh, president of the club. The court gave its decislon as soon as the plaintiffs announced their case com- pleted. Accordingly the princess was not put on the stand. Rear Admiral F. J. Drake, former member of the board of governors of Army, Navy and Marine Corps Mamorial Assocfation, which was suc- ceeded by the present Carry-On Club, cas a witness for the plaintiffs yester- a several verbal tilts with * attogneys during cross- examination. &7 One question he appeared to resent was if he had not aspired to be man- aging director of the association at a salary of $16,000 a year. He denied that this was 5o, but snid he had been in favor of paylng some one other than himself that much to serve as managing director. ‘Admiral Drake scored a point for the club when he asserted with em- phasis that the princess had told him the building at 1600 Rhode Island ave- nue belonged to the association. He idetified u prospectus as having been iswied by the princess and read a parngraph r-ferring to the ownership of the property by “the association.” He added it was not clear in his mind whether the latter term applied to the New York organization or the local body.

Osarnin denied that meetings were held at his consulate at which resolu- tions supporting the uprising against the constituted authorities were adopted. The reply of the Soviet consul was made after statements were circulated here that Peking radicals, through Chinese and Moscow agents, were sup- plying the finances and directing the strikers and demonstrations from Peking. Announcement was made also that Chinese students, in oppos- ing forelgn rule in courts in China, had the support of the radical wing of the Kuomintang party, an organi- zation of which the late Dr. Sun Yat- Sen, first president of the Chinese re- public. was the head.

A ian bolshevist is held in ja here as the result of a raid on his quarters at the Burlington Hotel. The disorders have generally been quelled and ma shops are again opening, an indication, since the threatened general strike has not de- veloped, that the backbone of the - | trouble perhaps has been broken and normal will soon be re- | stored. Disorders today were only sporadic, the defense units maintaining a close watch while the settlement authorities are prepared for any emergency. Strikes are spreading slowly, but are not as extensive as anticipated. The weather has turned much hotter. The strike in the Japanese cotton mills which was the genesis of the rioting here, is spreading, but no fur- ther attacks on foreigners are report- ed. The strikers now are estimated to number 100,000, most of them of the coolie class DISTURBANCES SPREAD. . condition Rioting Occurring in Three Cities, U. 8. Officials Report.

Consul General Cunningham, at anghal, reported that a strike of waiters had occurred at the Astor House and other hotels and at the Shanghai Club.

COURT SPECTATORS HSS PROSECUTOR Demonstration Started Dur- ing Trial of Members of Chiropractic University. Judge Gus A. Schuldt, presiding over a ‘jury trial in Police Court to- day in the hearing against the nine members of the Chiropractic Research Unlversity, ‘charged with violation of the vacelnation law, was forced to rap several times for order when specta- tors hissed J:'J. McGarraghy, assis- tant corporation counsel and prosecu- tor., The. demonstration occurred when McGarraghy demanded that Dr. Charles 8. Carver, dean of chiro- practics, be disqualified as an expert witness because he was not a graduate of any schocl of medicine and had de- clared himselef to be opposed to the bellef that there was such a thing as contagion. The hissing, a display never before seen in Police Court, was quickly quelled as the judge rapped his gavel and the ballliffs sought those in dis- order. Dr. Carver changed his re- marks later, and said that he did be- lieve in contagion to a certain extent although it must always be by con- tact. His testimony was then mitted by the judge to stand. A legal battie between Mr. McGar- raghy and Andrew Wilson and Judge George S. Evans, representatives for the defense, waged today as fiercely as yesterday and the day before. As then, the defense resorted to every means to bring up the constitutional- ity of the vaccination law, but the objection made by the prosecutor wus sustained by the court. In each case, as on the two previous days, excep- tions were noted by the defense. Just before noon Dr. Alonzo B. Chatfield, president of the chiroprac- tic school here, took the stand. Al- though the other members of the school are on trial, all charges are be- ing made specifically against Dr. Chat- field, and it is thought likely that the other eight defendants will abide by the verdict imposed upon him. Following a few statements by the witness the trial was recessed until later this afternoon, when It is be- lieved it will finally draw to a con- clusion. . strators and not upon the authorities grx:he foreign concessions of Shang- al.
