KEEPS 0F A BRAVE FRONT.
A.Luetgerts Attorney Still Talks About
the woman Being Alive.


Although Capt. Schuettler could not
find the man Groette, who protested to
have knowledge of Mrs. Luetgert's
presence in New York shortly after his
disappearance was noted in Chicago,
the defense has always been in touch
with him, and Lawyer Vincent, Luet-
gert's senior counsel, has received an
important affidavit from che man,
wherein he denies several of Capt.
Schuettler's statements.
Judge Vincent said this morning: /
have always said should not be at all
surprised if this woman should walk
into court, and / still say the same
thing. Schuettler's talk was made
perhaps for the purpose of drawing me
out. But I did not fall into the trap.
Groette never pretended that he
was an old sweetheart of Mrs. Luetgert
from date prior to her marriage. His
sworn statement, and Ihave that state
ment here in my desk, is that he be-
came we'll acquainted with the woman
seven years ago, and although there is
certainly disparity in their ages that
argues nothing"
From extended inquiries it now ap-
pears quite certain that when the de-
tense is reached no evidence whatever
will be introduced by Luetgert save
expert testimony tending to controvert
the states theory that Mrs. Luetgert's
body was dissolved by caustics, and
testimony by Groette, who will be pro-
duced at the trial.
1t is also limited that within few
days a certain new witness has been
discovered in New York, who testifies
to being acquainted with Mrs. Luet-
CERT, and who is willing to swear that
he saw her there within the past month.

A minister in Kansas had heard of
sensational methods and wanted to
give his congregation Il surprise. A
negro boy was taken into his confidence
as confederate and stationed on the
roof just above the pulpit. In the
lads keeping was entrusted a pigeon,
which was to be let loose in the church
through a convenient hole at the
proper moment. The church was
packed and the preacher having
stnrmed his announcement, raised his
voice and cried: And the Holy Ghost
decended in the form of a dove but
no dove appeared. He repeated this
sentence. Still no dove. At third
cutlery a black face appeared at the
hole in the roof and the query came:

SHE BROUGHT 1915.
The Steamer I. M. Weston Sold by Dep
utY Marshal.


The steamer I. M. Weston, which
was libeled a couple of weeks ago for
the wages of some of the crew, was
sold this morning at III o'clock by a
deputy United States marshal. She
was knocked down to Norman Baker,
who bid 1915 as the highest bid. Mr..
Baker represented certain of the cred
itors in the deal. The boat was deliv-
cred into Mr.. Bakers hands at once.
The sale was attended by quite a
number of people, mostly out of curios-
ity. In fact, for few moments after
the sale was opened it looked as though
there was a great deal more curiosity
than cash. The first bid made was
$1O0, and there it stood for some time.
The deputy marshal called and called,
and there was nothing but vacancy
and echo to answer to his voice. Fin
ally a thin voice in the background
piped up, raise of $50. Things went
more lively after that, most of the bids
going up by $50 jumps, until $500 was
reached. Then there was q lull, but
$3.50 finally came and there was another
long stop. Finally 1915 came family,
and no one had courage to go any fur
Their. The boat has a mortgage OF
ST., 900 still on her. What the credit
ors will do with her is not yet known.

Word From c. P. Rose, at Muskegon,

Many residents of Kenosha will re-
member C. P. Rose, who lived here a
few years ago. A Muskegon paper
says of him: &C. P. Rose, whom the
board of education has selected as en-
gineer of the new HackleY manual
training school, first came to Muskegon
in 1880 and remained here twelve
years. He entered the employ of the
Rogers Iron Manufacturing company,
and later became foreman. He re-
signed to enter the employ of Blodgett
&c Byrne and remained there a year,
afterward being six years in the employ
of Mann & Moon, and two years with
Montgomery, Champagne & Co. For
a time he was with the Rogers Iron
works again, and then removed to Ke-
nosha, Wis, where he was three and
a half years in the employ of the North
western Wire works. After year
spent at Erie, Pa, in the employ OF
the Erie Gas Engine company, Mr..

IT'S A BIG THING.
What It would Mean to Kenosha to Land
the Armor Plate Mill.

Kenoshans do not seem to under
stand the magnitude of the proposed
armor plate mill which we ought to
reach out for. They simply look at it
as an industry, good thing to land if
it will come easy, and with this vague,
indefinite idea seem to be willing to
dismiss the subject from mind. They
should wake up to the fact that it
would make one of the most magnifi-
cent things in the country. 1t would
take from fifteen to twenty acres of
ground to hold it. The government
would have to expend possibly 5,00O,-
900 in it's establishment and from 5000
to 5000 men would be employed in it..
It would be the biggest industry in the
northwest and would undoubtedly more
than double or treble the population of
the city at once. 1t is big thing.
Let us get move on and get after it.

interesting address of thanks to the

The latter part of the evening was de-
voted to games, the chief one being
that in which each of the guests pres

line bearing the name of some person
of note, which, unseen by it's wearer,
was to be guessed from the questions
of others. In this way much pleasure

CAN MANUFACTURE DIAMONDS.
Swiss Inventor Discovers Process
for Making Large stones.

LOT Making Large stones.
Chemists have recently made actual
diamonds, comparable in every respect
save one, that of size-with natures
most valued product. But the crystals
SO manufactured, while true diamonds,
have been SO microscopic in proportions
as to be of no commercial value. Now,
however, United States Consul German,
at Zurich, reports to the state depart
ment that Z. Moyat claims to have dis
covered u process by which diamonds
Of larger dimensions may be produced.
In principle his process is similar to,
one already used-that is, to crystalline
carbon out of iron and steel by means
of high pressure and high temperature.
Yet there is an improvement in the,
technical operation. Pulverized coal,
iron chips and liquid carbonic acid are
Enclosed IN a strong steel tube, hcrmet-
ically sealed aud subjected to an elee-
trio arc between two terminals in the
ends of the tube. The iron liquefies, is
saturated by part Of the pulverized coal,
and at the same time the liquid carbonic
acid evaporates, thereby creating enor-
nous pressure on the liquid iron and
coal. This pressure considerably in
creases the dissolution of the coal in
the liquid iron. While the mixture is
cooling the carbon crystallizes partly
In the form of real diamonds, and part;
]y in the form of similar stones, These
crystals are released from the ingot by
dissplying the iron in diluted muriatia
acid. The mixture by this method re-
mains under high pressure during the
operation Of the electric current.

CHAPTER XIX.

Hardly more disreputable spot
could have been found in all New York
than the immediate vicinity of the
house to which they had been directed.
Along the street were several opium
dens, dimly lighted, and on the corner,
not far away, man was selling hot
sausages from steaming vessel over
charcoal fire.
AS Hendricks and the doctor were
olighting from the cab near the house
to which they were going, a solitary
policeman approached, and was about
to pass, when Hendricks called to him.
The detective introduced himself and
told the astonished fellow to stand in
readiness near the door of No. SGT. The
policeman consented. evidently highly
fattered at being in the service of the
famous detective.
As they went up the steps to the little
stoop Hendricks advised the policeman
to pass on, so as not to be noticed by
whoever opened the door. The detective
rang. There was a faint light shining
through the grimy transom over the
door, but no sound came from within.
3 Hendricks rang again, and when the
Changing Of the bell had died away a
door beneath the stoop opened, a chain
ratified against an iron gate, and wom-
an half clad and with hair disheveled
came out amidst heap Of garbage and
ash barrels and glared up at them.
"What do We want?" she asked crust
lily.
'We have an appointment with Mr..
Farleigh, who has room here, l think"
Hendricks replied.
"a purity time o. night for It'll" snarled
the woman. "But I promised the gin
tleman to let ye in, an SO, if yen wait
till come up, I'll open the door,"
In a minute she. admitted them,
aYe was to go up to his room-the top
floor front; We can't miss it. I would
go up ahead o We, but I'm that stiff
that"
we'll get there all right" Hendricks
interrupted passing her. 1--WE won't
be long. Would you mind leaving the
door unlocked?"
Not at all, sir" she replied. The de-
tective thanked her, and went up the
stairs.
The door OF the room in the front, on
the top floor, was closed. There was q
transom over it, but no light shone
through. Hendricks knocked and wait
ed. Then he put his hands on the latch.
AS he did SO, DR.. Lampkin drew his re-
volver.
Hendricks laughed grimly. "Put IT
up" he muttered. "You won't need
It,"
The door was not fastened. Hen
bricks pushed it open, and as he did SO
some strips of cotton batting fell to the
floor from the side and the top. The
room was very dark. The outside blinds
had been closed. and the curtains drawn
SO that no light came in from the street
below nor from the moon above.
The detective struck match, and
Lighted the gas near the door. The vel.
low glare filled the room and revealed
a gruesome sight. A bed stood in the
r,ghthand corner. and on his side. his

THE COMPASS NOT lNFALLIeLE

New Chart That Corrects Popular
Misrepresentation.
The United States photographic ofise
has just issued a chart of the world
showing the lines of equal magnetic
declination, or dip, for each degree.
Hitherto the Investigations carried on
by the photographic Office into the SUBJ
ject of terrestrial magnetism have been
confined almost exclusively to the varia-
ton of the compass.
A glance at the handsome chart en-
graved in several colors serves to cor
rect very general popular misappre-
hension that the magnetic needle con-
stantly indicates true geographical
north. Upon only three lines is there
no variation from the true north, and
these, as shown on the new map, arc
wavy, wandering tracks, one coming
out of the South Atlantic. cutting Sec
cessively the island of South Georgia,
the Brazilian coast line half way be-
tween Montevideo and Rio de Janeiro,
thence across the country through the
disputed territory of British Guiana
and Venezuela, following the chain of
Caribbean islands, Hayti and the Ba-
hamas, and then passing through
Charleston, s. c., and Toledo to the re-
gion beyond Hudson's bay.
The other line of no variation runs
through western Australia, near Cey-
Ion, across the Arabian sea, up the Per-
sian gulf, across Armenia, cutting Treb-
izonde and st. Petersburg to reach the
ocean at North cape. The third line is
an irregular ellipse with Japan and Sag
holien us faci,. sweeping proudly
through Kamchatka, the Philippines,
China and Siberia.
