Held in Murder HUSBAND FACING CHARGE OF SHOOTING WIFE. Bpecial Dispatch to The Ctar. BERLIN, September 4.—The graft and extortion rackets which occasion- ally come to light among the police forces in large American cities are un- known n Berlin, Such, at least, is the : statement made by Dr. Hans. Scholz | director of the criminal department of _ the Berlin police, which deals with | problems of vice and crime. H Freedom from police corruption in Berlin, Dr. Scholz avers, may be ex- plained by the following reasons: ‘The military discipline which prevails; the constant shifting of officers who might be confronted with temptation on ac- count of the character of their assign- ments; the comparatively small scale on which crime is committed, even though the city has more than 4,000,000 | | of Cherris.

The striking and paradoxically shavian feature of thg correspondence is that throughout the period until 1904 the writers never met except publicly in theaters. Miss Terry opened the correspondence with a business question addressed to Shaw as a dramatic critic. She was then 44 and he 36. The letters soon became intimate and the writers adopted such lovers' terms as “Sweetikin,” “Ownest Own,” “Poppet,” “Duck,” | ;Deairest and Everest” and “My Precious | ernie.” He was found shot to death in his | tolerated and by special dispensation Houston apartment. clad in pajamas, lay nearb; the floor of an adjoining room. ‘Women Rule Tribe. y.

OFFICERS DRINK DRUG SENT SLAYING FIGURE Two Put to Sleep by Coffee Re- ceived by Duffy Killing Suspect. By the Associated Press. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., September 4. —An attempt to kill, or at least to drug, Henry Green, who is held in con- nection with the recent Mickey Duffy racketeer murder, was being investi- gated today. The plot went awry when Green re- fused to touch a pot of coffee which a messenger delivered yesterday. The coffee came from Green’s “sister,” the messenger said. Green has. no sister. The coffee then was given to the turnkey, John McHale, and Policeman Joseph Lodovico, who drank it. Both were found in a deep sleep a short time later. They were still ill today. An analysis revealed the coffee con- tained a quantity of a drug. The messenger is being sought. Green is believed by police to know | something about the circumstances under which Duffy, Philadelphia’s “No. 1 public enemy,” was assassinated in his hotel room last week. _—— Divorce has been made easy in China, a married couple being compelled mere- ly to write and sign a declaration of shouting “Long live the King!” whi the daughter of Lfinister or‘ lnuflg: Maura was toasting the republic.
