Schmidt May Have Been Guilty of Another Grime, New York, Sept. 16—In the hope of brandi as an imposter and a pseudo priest the Rev. Hans Schmidt, the alleged self-confessed slayer of Anna Aumuller, victim of New York’s river murder mystery, church authori ties began a sweeping investigation of Schmidt’s record and his pretentions to ordination. In his cell Tombs, with his coat as a pillow Schmidt slept soundly through the night and arose to partake of a hearty breakfast. He had little to add to his alleged confession in which | he is said to have told the police that he killed his victim as she lay in bed, cut up her body in the bathtub ot the apartment where he had es- tablished her, wrapped it in _ five bundles and dropped the bundles in the Hudson river. With a view to clearing the mystery surrounding the murder of eight-year-old Alma Kell- ner, whose mutilated body was found in quick lime in the basement of St. John’s Catholic church in Louisville two years and a half ago, the police sought to obtain from Schmidt imme- diately some statement of what he might know of the crime. From Au- gust, 1909, till March, 1910, Schmidt was a visitor in Louisville, not offi- cially connected with any church there, but a guest in the home of Rev, Henry B. Westermann, rector of the Church of the Immaculate Con- ception. PEEP EEE EEE EES ob & BEQUEATHS $318,000 TO YALE. Jersey City, N. J., Sept. 16. —tThe trustees of the estate of Mrs. Ella J.

For the man who has once had the responsibility of coaching an eight oar- ed crew the task has an attraction which can’t be resisted. Some one asked me once why it is that most col- lege crew coaches make good chess players. I knew that the person who put the question didn’t know much about the rowing game, for producing a successful eight oared crew requires an amount of thinking which makes chess seem like pure recreation in com- parison. Of course it’s different from a chess problem in the fact that op- poents don’t always start with the same strength of forces, but this only adds to the fascination of trying to boat a winning combination.—Outing. Nicely Answered. George IV. became convinced by dint of long imagining and saying so that he had left the life guards at Waterloo. “Did I not, Arthur?” he said at a court dinner to the Duke of Wellington. Most men would have been embar- rassed. Not so the Iron Duke. He simply answered, “I have often heard your majesty say so.” Incorporated. “Dearest, take no stock in these re ports you hear. You have a monopoly on my affections.” “John, I will trust you forever.” “Love, let us combine.” Whereupon she went into the hands of the receiver, and the bonds of mat- rimony soon followed.—Stanford Chap- | arral.
