Norfolk, Va., Sept. 8 — Admission that he was the companion of the man who killed six year old Clara Stone in Duncan woods, near Orange- ville, Maryland, a year ago and was a party to the child's kidnapping, has been made by Norman George Ben- nett of Baltimore, a naval enlisted man at the Hampton Roads training station in a statement by Captain R %. Johnson, commandant. Bennett, who is 16 years old, enlisted in the navy recently Baltimore. He is being held in custody for Maryland authorities. The Stone child disappeared last Pebruary 21, after she had left home for school. Bennett declared in his statement that his companion, whom he described as “Red,” kidnapped the girl and when no ransom was paid, killed her. His statement as given out by the naval authorities follows: ‘‘About one year ago, I helped to commit a crime in Duncan Woods, near Orangeville, Md. I do not know the name of the man who was with me. I always called him “Red."” He was about 32 vears old and five feet tall. We saw a girl, Clara Stone, coming down the Pennsylvania rail- road tracks near Duncan Woods, go- ing to school. We kidnapped her and held her for ransom for two days. We did not get any ransom so ‘‘Red" shot her with a pistol. We then cov ered the body with leaves and left for Baltimore. ‘““We sgeparated after arriving in Baltimere. I do not know ‘Red’s’ whereabouts nor where he lives. The best place I know to find him s around the moving pictures on Broad- way. Clara Stone lived in Orange- ville, Md. ‘Red’ and I were in the crowd at the funeral when she was buried after her body was found in Duncan Woods. ““My correct age is 16 years. I gave my age as 18 in order to get in the navy.” Paris, Sept. 8. — (By Associated Press)—Rumors that King Constan- tine of Greece intends to abdicate are current in several European capitals. They are considered here to have been glvn somne color by the sudden recall of the Greek heir apparent, Prince George, to Athens from Bucharest. King Constantine's abdication is re- garded here as an increasing possi- bility particularly as it is considered the only method of getting former Premier Venizelos, Greece's war-time leader to return to Athens and form a coalition government. Revolution Threatens Constantinople, Sept. 8.—The Greek administration of Smyrna ceased to function yesterday. Revolution with- in the city is imminent according to reports.

RAIDERS FERRET 0UT POISON WINE CACHES District Attorney Takes Personal Charge After 11 Have Died A 4aagrp Turnout 4 .:'})P New York, Sept. 8—Heading a squad of uniformed policemen and detectives Dist. Attorney Ruston to- day raided every house in a block in| the Red Hook section of Brooklyn in| an effort to find the source of thel poisonous alcohol which has caused| 11 deaths in the neighbrhood. The raiders had no warrants, but they visited every cellar in the block. Members of the party sald they were| unable to get warrants because the persons who gave intormation about the alcohol feared that if their con- | nection with the search was known| they would be killed. Shortly after the hunt was start- | ed several prohibition officers joined | the district attorney and two caches| of liguid supposed to be whiskey or colored alcohol were found. Digging in the dirt in the back vards and closely searching the cel- lar wall for secret hiding places they| continued their hunt. The first liguid found was in cellar of a tenement house. There were several demijohns, barrels and other containers loaded with the li-| quid. Five wine presses were found with several empty bottles all lab:!led whiskey. With police guarding the block on all sides while others remained on| roofs adjoining, the searchers tried | two more houses without result. Then at the fourth, they discovered several | pint flasks filled with the same liquid. Dist. Attorney Ruston refused to| allow tenants in whose home the liguid was found to taste it when they offered to do so to prove it was not wood alcohol.

President Millerand Paris, Sept, 8 (By the Associated Press)—Georges Salem an Egyptian student, fired a shot at an automobile in front of the palace of the Elysee today, believing the car to be Presi- dnt Millerand’s. The shot went wild. President Millerand was at his coun- try residence at Rambouiilett at the time. Salem who is 19 years seized by a guard as he fired the shot. The student collapsed, falling as if in a faint apparently thinking he had been shot. Carrying a small brown satchel, Salem came to the Elysee and asked for President Millerand, explaining to the guard who questioned him that he had a letter for the president. Noting a somewhat dazed look in Salem'’s face, the guard suspected the man was mentally unbalanced and took the letter, promising to deliver it to the president personally. At this the youth suddenly inquired if the president's carriage had left the palace, he apparently not know- ing that M. Millerand was at Ram- bouillett. The guard unthinkingly replied that the automobile had just left. Salem then quickly drew a small revolver of an obsolete typle and fired point blank at a car that happened to be in tha front driveway of the Ely- see, The young Egyptian had a pass- port issued by the French legation in Cairo. He denied intending to shoot the president. He said he had writ- ten to M. Millerand for money when he failed to receive funds from his Egyptian relatives but as the president failed to reply he had gone to the palace intending to commit suicide in the presence of the president as a form of protest against the chief exe- cutive's “indifference.” FOUR CONTESTING FOR LEGION JOBS In Meantime American Fed- eration of Labor Goes on With Plans to Ask for Daugherty’s Impeach- ment. old was Chicago, Sept. 8.— (By Associated Press)—A meeting of several western railway executives with Daniel Wil- lard, president of the Baltimore and Ohio rallroad was expected to be held here this afternoon.
