CHICAGO, Aug. 1-Experiments were
made with tho liquid found in the bottom
of the vat in the collar of Holmes house,
and it was found that whenever mixed
with benzino or kerosene it would emit a
yapor so deadly that no human being
could live in it. Whether or not Holmes
used the yapor for suffooating his victims
is not known, but the police are inclined
TO favor such a theory.
Another link in the chain binding Quin-
Ian 20 the alleged crimes of II. H. Holmes
was forged by AN admission made by Quiz
Ian when questioned by Chief of Police
Badenoch. He said be was hired bya man
named Allen TO go to Fort Worth, Tex.
Az the time he was engaged he said he
had one day acquaintance with Allen.
and on the following day he started for
Fort Worth
Quinlan had previously clained that he
had no knowledge Of any crimes commit
ted by Holmes although he had admitted
TINT in Fort Worth he met and knew n
man called Mascot Now that Allen and
Mascott arc practically proved to bc one
and the same man, Quinlan's contrcdic-
tory stories have placed him in 4 stin
worse light with the police.

stated as no reasonable comparison OF
the champion Of 1913 and the Vigilant OF
1895 can be made except By the handful OF
people who know about what the Defend

Concerning this matter a reporter was
told BY yachtsman who is in position
to know that the Defender should allow
the Nigilant four minutes or thereabouts

which was almost duo southwest, or as it
had been for two days. It was brisk, but
the big follows were able to carry all SAIL
including clubtopsails, and the water was
smooth enough to suit the Vigilant in her
very best days. 1t has been often said by
those who know that the Vigilant can
beat any yacht aiioat in running before

AS late as Monday a week ago after
she had courtcously yielded to the Defend

right to stay oH the starboard tack, off the
Scotland lightship, and sink the now boat
which would not give way, she started
over the line some distance behind her OPP
ponent, but nearly ovcrhaulod her within
four miles ina light wind, when that wind
was dead aft and spinnakers were set.
Wednesday it was not the same. From
start to finish tho Defender gained on the
Nigilant, and came home so far ahead
that the doubling Thomascs who were
asking each other, referring to the Ameri-
cas- cup races, "Will she do9n are now
saying at least, well, she's the best boat

OPEN AIR OPERA.
'Dorothy" Given on a Hotel Lawn with
Great Success.

LAKE GEORGE, n. Y. Aug. 1.-The op-
era Dorothy" produced on the lawn Of
the Lake House, was revelation in the.
atricals. 1t was the first time that opera
has been produced here in the open air.
Among those who participated were Doro-
thy Morton as Dorothy, Charles Bassett
as Godfrey Wilder and Edward NJ. Favor
as Lurcher. Miss Theresa Vaughn was al
so one of the leading attractions. The
large amphithoater erected By tho Horizon
Improvement company was filled when
the curtain was drawn up on as pretty a
pastoral scene as could be imagined
Around the stage were arranged hun
drods Of trees among which twinkled like
stars hundreds OF incandescent lights.
There were 750 lights upon the stage
alone while among the trees inside the
walled circle were colored lights innumer-
able.
Miss Morton, bright and happy as Doro-
thy, captivated tho audience and won re-
peated recalls before the curtain. Charles
Bassett and Edward NJ. Favor were most
pleasing. The opera viii be repeated here
three moro nights. Henry J. Leslie was

Fort WORTH Tex, Aug. William
Cappa, who is now in Chicago on thf
Holmes case, belongs to the firm of Cappa
e Canlcy of this city, who some time aQc
instituted suit against The present holders
Of property owned by the Williams sisters.
The suit IS brought ut the instance of the
heirs of the girls, and it Is claimed that
the deeds were forged by Holmes.
Allen, the Arkansas convict, who is so
anxious 20 tell his connoption with Tie
murders, was at one time in the employ
Of Holmes in tis city. Allen went by tho
nRmo Of Mascott in this city, and it is be.
licyed here that he can tell grcat doal
about Holmes and his transactions If he
wants 70. Allen was an ex-conyict from
the prison &c Joliet.
While Holmes, or Pratt, as he was
known hore, was living in this city he
started TO put up % lnrgo building. 1t was
objected 10 on the ground that 1t was d
regular fire trap and the authorities forced
him TO remodel it somewhat. In view Of
the recent developments in Chicago the
authorities have made an investigation of
the building which leaves no room for
doubt that Holmes had planned it for a
death trap
One room at the top Of tho house has i2
exits by which person can escape while
an inclosod chute runs down TO the base
mcnt OF the building, in which body
could be transferred without any one be-
ing the wiser In this basement large
archway had been built over the sewer
in such way that he could easily put in
trapdoor opening into the sewer.
Under the floor of tho house was found
a largo pit, the intended use Of which can
only be conjecturod. Holmes probably in
tended this building TO be used as he after
ward used his house in Chicago.
