He ery was bitterly assailed for tiis by the ‘ ben “dry” organizations. His record on the Prohibition question has not been what the drys would like. He started out In New Jersey by insisting that it was a moral and not a political ques- “tion and declared for local option. He agreed to wartime Prohibition, AS or rather the making of 2.75 beer, chiefly because of the need for con- serving the ingredients which were ‘used in the manufacture of beer. : And when the San Franciseo Conven- tion of the Democratic party was in session, there is a well defined story that Mr. Wilson sent a beer plank to that city, despite Mr. Bryan's known _ aigitude’ on Prohibition and despite the feeling of so many Democrats that the issue had better he ignored ——s rT f in the platform altogether.

MALONE, N. Y., Dec. 11,—Scized by two boys, aged twelve and thirteen, Rena Clark, twelve, was stripped of most of her clothing and tied to stake, while her captors, ‘playing In dian,” performed a war dance around ber, imitating Wild Western stories stories they had read The two boys, Alvin Morhouse and Harry Grieaman, jt is alleged, descended ¢wpon 4 party of girls coming from wchool. Three of them escaped bul they captured the Glark girl and Gragged her to the top of 4 hill, where after tearing off her clothing they lashed her to a tree. ‘The boys left her tied, but she worked her way free and woing to the woods redressed herself, went to @ farmer's house and told her story. Her relatives complained to the au- thorities, saying she had sufferdd other $ndignities. Arraigned before Judge Harry BE.

Mobr also appeared serene. One hundred and twenty talesmen have been summoned, including a number of women. County Detective Ellis H. Parker, Whose investigation resulted in the arrest of Mrs. Brunen, Mohr and Charles M. Powell, one of Brunen’s employees, expressed the opinion that the jury would be se- lected without delay, probably within two hours, He said ¢he prosecution has 110 witnesses. Walter M. Keown, counsel for Mrs. Brunen and Mohr, said he could sum- mon nearly that many witnesses also i, he wished. He said that Mrs. Brunen and Mohr will both take the stand in their own defense. The prosecution will be conducted by Prosecutor Jonathan Kelsdy of Bur lington County and his assistant, Robert Peacock. Several State troop- er’ were on guard at the Court House this morning. They were sent here at the request of Detective Darker. Several hundred people had col- lected outside the Court House at 8 o'clock to-day and more came later. Many of these were women. Th court room in which the trial ts to be held is very small, having a total sit- ting and standing capacity of not more than 300 persons, Mrs, Brunen and Mohr will walk more than 100 feet past the crowd In the street on thelr way from the County Jail to the Court House. Before the authorities of Burling- ton County, led by Detective Ellis Parker, came upon what they believe to be a real clue leading to the criminal more than a hundred per- sons were questioned. At last they came upon Powell, an employee of ‘The Mighty Doris Show,” a circus owned by Brunen. When he was closely questioned he made, according to Parker, a detailed confession in which he alleged that Mohr had promised him $1,000 if he wguld kill Brunen. Powell said that he had thereupon killed the showman, but that Mohr had paid bim only $50 on account Detective Purker alleged that the murder had been instigated by “Mrs. Brunen, The reason for doing away with Brunen, Powell said Mohr told him, was that “he was getting on the nerves of the women folks." By the latter was supposedly meant Mrs. Brunen, her mother and her seven- teen-yeur-old daughter Hazel, \ Mohr was manager of several of Brunen’s circuses or other entertain- ment enterprises and Parker learned that they had frequently quurreiled over financial matters. Brunen, It was suid, sold his home in Riverside Tor $30,000 to cover losses, and short- ly ufter this he was murdered. The shooting occurred a ttle after 7 o'clock on the night of March 10. Detective Parker was one of the first to arrive at the Brunen home after the erime, He sald that Mrs Erunen delayed for almost half an hour tn giving the alarm, for the purpose, he sheged, of permitting the escape of >.well, who had arranged bis geta “ay with Mohr, Mrs. Brunen explained ber delay by Saying that she was upstairs when ber vusband Was shot amd that she did not hear the report of the gun which killed him, She heard an explosion but said she thought {t that of a rail- road torpedo on nearby tracks Investigations by Parker disclosed that Brounen and his wife had a fight at héme on Christmas Day, that she tried to shoot him and that he did shoot her, inflicting a slight wounu Late In February of this year Bru- en's sister received what she de sred to be a letter from him, which said in part over the outcome of the "l think Doty (his wife) is figurin to do away with me and thinks she can get free, for she talks anout is all the time, Another passage read: “In casa any snything happens to me, sister, t ‘ant you to come and take full barge of everythin: Beked Ue ee BLOODHOUNDS TRACK NEGRO ASSAILANT mens Clow Citizens Hane Attackers of White 5 CORSICANA, Tex., Dec. 11.—Blood- hounds are being hurried from Hunts- ville Penitentiary to Streetiman to take up the trail of a masked Negro who at- cked 1 tw year-old white girl at t Streetman this morning. t fe high at Str an and and surrounding country A with armed men, houses in Streetman were ning while thelr proprie- tors and employees Joined the poss Freestone County, in which Streetman je located, has been tho scene of at least. three Iynchings in thy leat. few months, ¢ lice lines. up by sympathetic tablished a first aid station in a gro- cery store and brought the little birds around and fed them, in not seep. smoke pall coughing and sneezing in the Bronx Supreme Court Street. * The sisters of the Peter and St. as at its wo! of St. smoke fire drill call, men were able mansion fire FLAMES DESTROY ENTIRE BLOCK OF BRONX BREWERY (Continned) Sparrows t a blaze ammonia fumes. ‘The buildings which burned to-day) were erected in 1868. fluttered street half suffocated outside the po- Many of them were picked | children who es- which would re- William Ebling} com vsident Secretary is the President of the Louls M.

There was little in the action of stock prices today to suggest that the bulk of the trading public have a fixed opinion regarding the imme- @iate trend of the list or that the larger tradera and operators are dis- posed to definite stand at this time. Except in a few specialties, business was mostly of the perfunctory sort, and, taking the market as a whole, such changes in quotations as oc- curred were without particular sig- nificance. Of greater importance than the movements of stock prices was the continued strength of the rate of ex- change in England. Before the noon hour demand ster moved up to $4.58 8-8, the highest quotation in the iast several years, and within 39 nts of its normal or pre-war vaiua- om.
