A number of letters to his wife and to his brothers were lying on the bu- reau as well as a will by which he left all his property to his wife. He ap- parently had invested in several thou- sand dollars’ worth of excellent secur- ities. He even advised his wife to recover from the court the $1,000 Lib- erty bond which he deposited yester- day for his bai! bond. In the accompanying letter to his wife he said: “My darling wife—Since the typhold got me I have never been the same. 1 committed a wrong in the Post Office which will disgrace me for the rest of my life.

Three subjects the International Harvester man would not discuss were Mme. Ganna Walska, Max Oser of Switzerland and his engagement to Miss Mathilde McCormick, and the operation Mr. McCormick is said to have gone under recently in a Chi- cago hospital. Miss McCormick was: said to be in Chicago. She did not ac- company her father. McCormick, now in his bist year, was the picture of robust health. Re- porters who shook hands with him on said he had a grip like steel. He never felt better, he sald. Hoe talked of his continued interest in grand opera in Chicago, but. beyond that would not be interviewed. ‘Ask me no questions about my personal affairs," he said, “for I shall not an- swer them,"* The McCormick stateroom, FE 64, osting the $275 minimum, was one of the least desirable in the first cabin, t is an Inside room, on the starboard side, barely big enough for three per- sons to stand in, hot and poorly ven- tilated. The famous Chicagoan was doing his best to arrange a transfer to better quarters. Among other passengers with whom McCormick discussed his anxiety about the forgotten passports were Mr. and Mrs. George McFadden of Philadelphia, who are going abroad for two months, and Mrs, William Lowe Rice of No. 550 Park Avenue, who sailed with her three daughters, Mrs. Richard Newton and the Misses Eiste and Helen Lowe Rice. “Why, hello, Hal!'* MelFadden shouted, Sailing?” “I am if I get my passports,’ was the answer. President Eugene G, Grace of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation sailed with Mrs. Grace for Paris ‘‘and,"" he said, ‘‘possibly Berlin.’ Mr. Grace would not discuss the nature of the business which, he said, was taking him to Europe. He talked freely on business in the United States. “We will have good times in the United States,"" Mr. Grace said, “when the existing difficulties be- tween labor and capital have been settled. The industrial situation un- questionably {s harmfully affected at the moment by two principal disputes, mines and rail. President Harding, it appears to me, has the machinery well in hand and if he receives the same co-operation from the workers he {s getting from the employers the result {s bound to be satisfactory. The best news I can get on the way over, or when I land, is that the coal and railroad disputes have been settled."’ Dr. Nathan Krass, rabbi of the Central Synagogue of this city and member of the Joint Distribution Committee, sailed to study the educa- tional affairs of the Jews in Central Europe. He will direct the expendi- ture for education of $1,000,000 of tne $15,000,000 raised by the committe: Sir Richard Squires, Premier of Newfoundiand and, at 38, the youngest Prime Minister in any of the dominions, said his trip had ‘or its object the interesting of capital in a $20,000,000 wood pulp and news print enterprise. else ase ICE WORKERS FLEE AMMONIA FUMES Workmen in the artificial ice fac tory of the Knickerbocker Ice Com pany, Broome and Elizabeth Stree accidentally broke an ammonia pipe in the freezing room on the second floor at 10 o'clock to-day, releasing great quantities of poisonous ain monia vapor. The workers in the plant fled to the street and a call was sent for the Fire Department Rescue Squad, Before the firemen arrived, Edwand Witte, of No. 2415 First Avenue, & machinist, put on a gas mask, en tered the factory and shut off the valves of the ammonia supply sys tem. He was aided by firemen Suilli van and Hutchinson of the Rescue Squad, The odor of ammonia per meated the neighborhood for half an hour.

Francis Kluxen 84, the fitteen-y old boy acquitted at Morristown, N. J» of the murder of eleven-year-old Janette Lawrence, was without plans for his future to-day. He sald at his home in Madison that he did not know what he wanted to do, ahd when asked If he intended to go to sea or out West to work, replied: “Oh, no; I guess it is not as bad as that.’" The boy, whose calm demeanor at- tracted notice during the trial, sald of the ordeal: “What I hated worst about the trial was having to sit still so long.’ The jury reported its verdict of ac- quittal at 5.15 P. M. yesterday, after having been out three hours. There was practically no demonstration. The boy had taken a nap during the de- liberations and showed while waiting for the “Not guilty’* verdict the same stolid indifference that he had pre- viously. When he heard the verdict he did not at first show any emotion, At last, when the jury was formally discharged, he turned and kissed his mother. She was sobbing. He ground his father's hand In a huge beat grip. One or two boy friends came up to congratulate him and he shook hands with them too. A group of bobbed-haired flappers stood gaping by the doorway, “Well, Francis, now?" “You bet I am," he said with u smile that showed for the first time that he has metal bands on his teeth to straighten them, After he had been photographed with his parents and his counsel, he stood waiting for the court room to empty. It was decided not to attempt an exit until there should be a clear road. “Well, I'm glad it's over. Now 1 can go lhome,"’ was all he said The parents of the murdered Law- rence child, in thelr black. clothes, slipped out quickly through a lane jof hushed, pitying friends. Buried in their grief, for them the day held nothing. They have little hope now of ever knowing who was responsibl. for their daughter's death. Francis Kluxen ts the second per- son to be acquitted by a jury of hav- ing slain the eleven-year-old Madison child. Frank Jancarek, a Polish la- borer who worked in a greenhouse near the woods where she was found, was tried and acquitted last April. It was then that Kluxen, who had been under suspicion before because of his presence in the Kiuxen Woods at the very hour the murder was committed, was Indicted. Public opinion alleging protection of the boy by pergons high in authority forced the move.

While Mr. Quirk visited an office on the other side of the street, Mrs Quirk, taking a child with her, went to the Great American Grocery Store, at Vesey and Church Streets, to make some purchase, When she returned to the car she began to scream at the top of her yolce and ran up and down the side- walk. In @ moment the street swarmed with excited men and women through whom fought police- men coming from as far as Nassau and Greenwich Streets on the east and west. Mrs. Quirk explained that while she was away from the car a suite had been stolen from the rear s which contained her hand bag and in which were jewels vaiued at $1,- 00, all the family bank books and a considerable sum in cash.
