MURDER OF RUTH CRUGER AROUSES NEW YORK LIKE ROSENTHAL CASE Goldcnblum Ruth Cruger, found murdered in New York after being missing four months, was the victim of a “ripper.” This was announced by County Medi- cal Examiner Otto H. Schultze and Dr. L. L. Danforth, the Cruger fam- ily physician. ‘While the autopsy was in progress a new force of laborers invaded the cellar of the motorcycle shop of ‘Al- fredo Cocchi, at 542 West One Hun- dred and Twenty-seventh street, and brought to light a pair of skates which the Wadleigh High school graduate had taken there to bs sharpened -on the day she disap- peared. The only other article found was a long handled ice choper, which is believed to have been used in dig- ding the tunnel in which she was buried, Mrs. Marie Cocchi, wife of the mo- torcycle repair man, and Victor Blady and Joseph Palumbp, friends of Coc- chi, weré taken into custody and are being detained as material witnesses Police Commissioner’ Woods an; nounced there would be a sweeping investigation into the shortcomings of the police in the case. Gossip = was rife in the detective bureau of an impending shake up, which may ex- ceed even that which followed the murder of Herman Rosenthal. Conflicting theories are advanced as to whether the crime was com- mitted by one person or whether oth- SIDE TALKS " Why Wait for An energetic young woman who is one of & large clan of cousins and aunts and uncles who live within a radium of fifty miles, was seized’ with a brain storm recently. She had chanced to meet one of the cousins and they had both enjoyed the en- counter immensely, had compared notes about the.rest of the clan and wished regretfully that they saw each other oftener.. And then came Mrs. G's brain storm. “I'm just going to get our clan to- gether,” she said, “It's perfectly ab- surd for us to go on living so near year after year and never see each other.

Tl let you know & good while ahead and you must just make a big effort. You know perfectly well that if one of us should die every year one would come to the funeral no"matter how busy wa were. Now why can’'t. we make some effort to see each other once in a While when we're alive? .1 think it would be a lot more fun.” The argument was so forcible that her cousin couldn’t have answered it if she had wanted to,—which 'she didn’t. So She turped to and helped’ get the rest of the clan excited and last week the party came off. AS there were twenty-seven rela- tives it was quite a big undertaking and Mrs, G., who 1s a born organizer, called on two sisters and a cousin who lived near to assist. One caoked a chicken, another made the salad, & third the cake, and two of them brought their maids to help serve. Ewvery one of the twenty-seven uncles and aunts and cousins actually came, and of course the party was an a Funeral unqualified success. And now they are planning more like it. Didn't Waut to Wear Thelr Wel- come Out. “Not toa soon,” warned the wise Mrs, G. “We don’t want tq overwork our enthusiasm.” It is queer, isn’'t it, the way we go on year after year without such a gathering of clans. Immaediate fami- lles get together at Christmas and Thanksgiving but 'it is only now and then that a clan of this size keebs Christmas together. There are too many ties pulling differént ways, Of course, one’s relatives are not always so congenial that one wants to make intimate friends of them, blood is thicker than water 4 it is worthwhile to gather the cl oncs in a while.

MITZI HAJOS AT PARSONS’ NEXT WEEK By ‘arrangement with Henry W. Savage, his adorable little musical comedy star, Mitzi Hajos, will have the co-operation of the Opera Play- ers in the first performances any- where of her new musical piece, “Houp-La.” This remarkable com- bihation of attractions is offered at Parsons’ theater, Hartford, the entire week of June 25. Additions will be made to the summer company, the orchestra will be enlarged, the effects of scenery and costume elaborated. But the prices will not be increased. Of course the business will reach ca- pacity. The advance sale will be enormous and quick reservations are imperative. “Houp-La,” the joint product of Edgar Allen Woolf and Jerome Kern, gives Mitzi, as a little foreign acrobat, a novel role, blend- ing uproarious fun and tender pathos. The scenes range from the stage of a music hall to a wonderful sunken garden at a fashionable country place, with an in-between glimpse of a suite de luxe at the Hotel Ritz. Mitzi will sing, dance, tumble and givé her first bit of ragtime. The opening performance, Monday night, is to be a testimonial to the press and advertising departments of Parsons’ theater, and as a special | patriotic feature a 35 "Ll\em Bond” is to be given u.vny free.' A big delegation of New York theatrical people has made reservations for the opening aight. ‘The Making of & Famous Medicine.

OF A By ADELE cAudsox ‘What Is the Real Reason for Dicky’: Shopping Trip? I think my heart stopped beating for a moment when in the suit depart- ment of Hambel's, where I was sitting waiting for Mrs. Durkee’s return from the fitting room, I saw Dicky and the girl I knew only as ‘Edith” together. I had seen her but once before. With her sister she had appealed to Dicky for help when they were in danger of being crushed in the crowd surrounding Madison Square Garden upon the night of the President's speech there. time by the contrast between Dicky's reassuring nod and call to her and the curtness with which he had dlm missed my fears. Then had come the terrifying moment when she had slipped from sight in a eudden ‘surge of the crowd, and her sister had called piercingly, “Dicky, they’'re killing Edith.” Re- @ardless of the fact that he had left me alone in that awful mob, he had battled to the girl's rescue, only to lose sight of me. All the vague fears which had been mine at the discovery of the foolish little kodak print of Dicky and the sisters Tushed back to me supple- mented by the uneasiness which I had felt at my husband’s increasing even- ing engagements with “art editors” in the city. Was this girl the explanation of Dicky’s absence, of ‘his preoccupation, of the hours of writing and sketching he spent in his room. My fears an- swered the question in the affirmative, even as my jealousy queried what possible reason they could have for being in the suit section of a depart- ment store together, Just to Advise Her? I had not long to wait for the answer, for ’they stopped near enough to where I was sitting for me to hear their voices, and I heard Dicky's voice in courteous reply to the saleswoman’s query: “Something in a white suit or a bilue and white and white effect for this lady. I want something stunning and in the very latest mode you have, something especially striking, which at the same time will suit her as if it had been made especially for her.” “I understand.” The saleswoman motioned them to chairs which for- tunately for me were placed so that their backs were toward me. . “I will bring you what we have directly.” I sat petrified with horror, in which jealous rage mingled strongly. Dicky was buying clothing for that girl! That was my first thought, and then there came to me the saving idea that perhaps he was only assisting her in the selection of her suit. I knew Dicky’s susceptibility to flattery, and this uitra-feminine Virginia girl with her patrician face and her help- less air was just the type to appeal to him, if she had asked his artist judg- ment as.to her clothing, as I was cer- tain she had done. There was but one thing for me to do, however, and that was to get out of the vicinity as quickly wnd as quietly as I could. Not for worlds would T have Mrs. Durkee see what I had seen. Before their saleswoman came back, before they had a chance to turn their faces in my direction, I must leave. “What Is the Matter?” Cautiously, silently, I wriggled out of my chair ,and walked . some dis- tance away before ‘I venfured to ac- cost a saleswoman and ask the direc- tion to the fitting rooms. I counted myself lucky to meet my little neigh- bor coming out of one of the doors. ““What is the matter?” she asked. 8he glanced sharply at- me as she aia so. “What is the matter?” she asked. “You are as white as paper. Have you seen a ghost?” “OlIno," T returned in as-careless I had been hurt at:-the |/ ‘| would have looked more a ‘tone ;as I could manage, “but the . air back thére was fearfully close: It iade me feel really ill.
