By the Assoclated Pres BROCKTON, Mass., October 23.— James Stoddard, a laborer, battered to death with an ax three of his four daughters as they slept in a cheerless little third-story apartment here this morning. Stoddard, 36 years old, with a long police record for intoxication arrests, recently was charged with failing to support the children. His victims were Mildred, 7; Edna, 11, and Flor- ence, 13. Marion, the fourth daughter, who was in bed with Edna, awoke as her father struck her sister and grappled with him. Breaking from his grasp she fled to the street, where a pedes- trian gave the alarm that brought police. Looks for Fourth. A squad of officers found Stoddard, ax in hand, apparently nbout to leave the house. “I just killed my three kids and I want to get the other one,” he told them as they disarmed him. Stoddard ~declared he had been drinking for two weeks prior to last Sunday, when he had declded to quit. A hallucination that a_former em- ployer had chased the children home and was preparing to “burn” them or otherwise cause them harm, resolve to kill them himselt serted, in an incoherent narrative at police headquarters. He had been chopping wood with the ax in the afternoon and in the evening his mind became dazed. “In order to save the children frcm being burned the thought came to me while 1 was sitting in the rocking chair by the stove that I had better kill them myself,” said his rambling | statement. Clasps Rag Doll. “I got up out of the chair and went to the outside of the porch and got the ax hanging there. Then I went into Marion and kdna’s room and hit Bdna with the ax. Marion got up and ran away and I went mio the room of Florence and Mildred and | killed them. Then I went and got a glass of water and I thought I might have made a mistake and did not know what to do. Police discovered the bodies in the | blood-spattered beds of the cheaply i furnished rooms. Little Mildred still ped w rag doll to her bosom. The three children apparently had died | instanti: | Stoddard submitted quietly to ar- rest and interrogation, but when con- fined to a cell tore off his clothing. He was overpowered by officers and then fell into a coma. The man was ed last Summer on a charge of failure to contribute to the support of his children, but an aunt of the girls promised to help keep the household together. Stod- dard had not worked recently. His mother is said to have died in an insane asvlum. Stoddard himself had been under observation for sanity several years ago. MRS. HOLMES BURIED.

MOSCOW, October 23.—Any one taking more than one wife in Soviet Russla is liable to a fine of $250 or imprisonment at hard la- bor, under supplementary marriage laws approved yesterday. Exemp- tlons are provided in the cases of those who acquired multiple wives prior to the enactment of the pres- ent law. The new restrictions apply par- ticularly to the Soviet’s mid-Asiatic possessions, where natives often are polygamous. In the future whoever steals a girl as a bride, which is an existing custom among many Mohammedan races, will be subject to imprisonment for two years if the girl was seized against her will. Professional traffickers in girl brides also are made subject to punishment and a fine equaling the purchase price paid.

PHILADELPHIA, October 23.—The latest effort to close the Sesqui- centennial Exposition on the Sabbath failed last night when a jury in Common Pleas Court returned a ver- dict in favor of the respondents, Mayor Kendrick and George W. Elliott, director of public safety. Mandamus action seeking to close the exposition on Sundays was brought against the mayor and the director by the Methodist men’s com- mittee of 100, which alleged that the ancient blue laws were being violated by the sale of goods in certain booths at the Sesqui on the Sabbath. Another court action to prevent the operation of the exposition on Sunday is pending in Hnrrisburg JACKSON'S B BIRTHDAY OBSERVED IN SOUTH Hundreds Gather at Reputed Birth- place of “0ld Hickory” for Ceremonies. By the Associated Press. MONROE, N. C., October 23.—Hun- dreds of persons from North and South Carolina, Texas and Tennessee gathered yesterday at the reputed birthplace of Andrew Jackson, near here, and celebrated the birth of “Old H!l‘kory," The principal address was delivered by John Trottwood Moore, State his- torian of Tenncssee, who declared that Jackson held a higher place in the ideals of America than any other President in the Nation’s history. “I believe to God that Andrew Jack- son was the greatest man who ever lived,” the speaker asserted. ‘‘He had more different kinds of sense than any other man in the world. Just compare him with the pin-headed col- lege graduates of today." The historian traced the life of Jack- son from his humble origin to the presidency. Representative W. C. Hammer of North Carolina spoke briefly on the evidence gathered toward proving that Jackson was born in this State. 18-YEAR-OLD WiDow, ILL, KILLS HERSELF Mrs. Eloise Chilton Had Been Sick for Year—Husband Was Killed in July.

Fleming Accepts Chairmanship | of General Committee for Testimonial. A movement has been launched to provide an opportunity for the citizens of- Washington to express their appreciation of the long public service of Commissioner Cuno H. Rudolph, who will shortly retire to private life. The group of prominent men and women who are sponsoring this testimonial intend to make the occa- sfon the largest and most impressive of its kind ever held in the Capital. At the request of this group Robert V. Fleming, president of the Riggs National Bank, has agreed to serve as general chairman. Within the next few days announcement will be made of the date upon which this celebration will be held and the names of the committee chairmen and others who will assist Mr. Flem- ing in arranging the details and otherwise in making the affair a notable success. Form Is Undecided. It has not been determined yvet just exactly what form the testimonial will take, but it is thought that it will be 'held in the Washington Auditorium. Although no date has been fixed, it has been suggested that one be set not later than five weeks hence. It was first suggested to hold a banquet at which eulogies and other impressive tributes would be paid to Commissioner Rudolph, but this idea was abandoned because it was feared it ‘would be impracticable because of the thousands of persons in this city who would want to attend as a means of expressing their love for Mr. Rudolph as well as their high estimation of his character and his successful career. Rudolph is Affected. While discussing this point today Mr. Fleming intimated that the tes- timonial committee will no doubt have some difficulty in determining just what form of celebration to hold. It has been suggested, he said, to hold a banquet to which certain intimate friends and associates of the Commissioner would be invited, and to follow this with a reception for the public at some large audi- torium These details, however, will be worked out in a very short time and the machinery necessary to execute the plans for this big affair will be in smooth working order. Commissioner Rudolph was today informally ac- quainted with what was on foot and appeared deeply affected by this kindly interest on the part of his friends.

PITTSBURGH, October 23.—Eddie Goodfellow of Pittsburgh was under detention today on a technical charge by police, who are seeking evidence to discredit the story of Charles E. Knapp that he was robbed of the $320,000 given him for the purchase of bonds. Goodfellow, the latest person to be arrested in connection with the al- leged bond swindle ehich forced the Brotherhood Savings and Trust Co. here to close its doors, received a telephone call from Knapp last Sat- urday, police declared.

TURKS, INDIGANT, INVITE HAREM HUNT Deny Charge, Attributed to Bishop, That Christian Women Are Held. By the Associated Press. CONSTANTINOPLE, October 23.— A statement attributed to Bishop Wil- liam T. Manning of the dfocese of New York that evidence has been pro- duced showing that thousands of Christian women are kept imprisoned in Turkish harems has just come to | the attention of the Turkish press, whose reaction is a mixture of amuse- ment and anger. Bishop Manning, speaking before the Girls’ Friendly Society on May 2 in New York, called attention to a pamphlet issued by the American committee opposed to the Lausanne | treaty as containing matter substan- tiating charges that “more than 100, 000 Christian women and girls are at ome captivity in Turkish harems.” *Emphatically denying the truth of the bishop's statement, the well known publicist and deputy, Yunous Nady Bey, has written an editorial in the | ministerial organ, D Jumouriet call- | ing upon interested Americans or | the League of Nations to send an un- | biased commission of inquiry to Tur- | c k") to hunt for harems. He states hat the Turkish government would Sladly pay the expenses of such @ commission. While no statistics are available, students of Turkish conditions say that cases of polygamy in Turkey have been rare for many years, due to economic conditions, and ' that women hai abandoned the seclusion of the harem, even before the new government threw open the doors of activity and opportunity to them. At the present time it would be difficult to find a single harem in Constantinople or any of the larger towns of Turkey, they say. As for the villages and country piaces of Anatolia, the harem in the western sense never existed, as peas- ant women, instead of being secluded, have always worked in the flelds side by side with the me Cairo Hotel Que at Sixteenth Street L.
