DOCTORS CALL KNAPP SANE
Ohio Bluebeard is Medically Examined il
Hamilton Jail.
POLICE LOOK FOR FURTHER CONFESSIONS
Think Multi-Murderer VIII Yet Admit
Completely in still More Dread
full Crimes Against women
and Children.

HAMILTON, O., Feb. 2S.-It is currently
reported about the jail today that. Knapp
is considering another confession that will
cover other crimes. Meantime, while the
officers are seeking all the information
from him possible, it is desired that his first
trial be here for the murder Of his third
wife, hannah Goddard, unless the trial
judge holds that a corpus delecti has not
been established by his confession and
other evidence available.
Prosecutor Gard and other attorneys now
hold that 1t is absolutely necessary to find
the body of Mrs. Hannah Goddard Knapp in
order to try the prisoner here and accord
ingly search for the body was continued to-
day. In any event, Knapp will have at
least a temporary hearing here before he
ia turned over to the authorities at Cincin-
natl or Indianapolis.
The afidavit and other documents, as we'll
as the confession, are in readiness for a
hearing, and II the body is not found soon
the prosecution will proceed without It.
Meantime Knapp is being questioned more
closely by officers on his general record,
although he Is no longer keeping open
house with reporters, police and others, to
whom he had been talking freely.
Doctors Say lie Is Sane.
Among those VINO nave been with him to-
day were medical experts. who pronounced
him sane, but abnormally degenerate.
Knapp himself is perfectly Indifferent
whether he is tried in Hamilton. Clncin-
natl or Indianapolis. He seems to have no
dread Of a trial. but is apprehensive
of lynching or some form OF violence, and
those who watch him say that he is really
cowardly. The least noise in the jail
s~tartles him.
He has been assured time and time again
that he is not to be lynched; that there Is
no danger whatever, and that he will be
protected until the law can take. its course.
Though the taking Of life with him was a
mere pastime, he is afraid to die. He wants
to live. even though he is behind prison
bars. In the hope Of saving his life his
family say he is insane and insanity will
be his plea.
The prisoner is a pronounced talker in
his sleep, but his words are not plain. He
mutters all the time and opinion is that he
is going over the scenes OF his awful crimes.
In order to give him mental rest no one will
be permitted to see him for several days.

exercise was riding in victoria, who
was so essentially feminine.
There is no chance for a modern
Sir Walter Raleigh to spread his cloak
over a mud puddle for a modern
queen. The queen would jump the
puddle. It is distressing for the men,
who, for the sake of self-respect, must
be stronger and sturdier than the
women. They must be the sturdy
oaks even If the ivy refuses to cling.
Their only hope is in developing in

realized thoroughly they may be de-
pended on to rush for the physical
culturists, the gymnasiums, and the
turnvereins. The American girl will
force the American man to hustle Cor

cops which stand out like knotted

"A girl cook in cap and gown or
a yacht? Why, it's outlandish!"
That's what a man said, and man
usually knows about things yachting,
but for once this gentleman with the
massive brain has been mistaken. II
isn't Outlandish in the least. Who
ever found anything that common
girl might do outlandish, and if they
did, who would dare say so?
A yacht doesn't necessarily mean
floating palace. Persons Of moderate
fortune may indulge in the pleasures
of a small and comfortable yacht
without undue extravaganza, and
there is no place where girl may
have q more restful or entertaining
time than aboard yacht. To ex-
change the binding sands of a hot
beach for boat rocking over the cool
waves is too enticing an opportunity

comes swimming back with long,
steady strokes, which bring admira-

When she reaches the shore she is
not in the least tired and is quite
willing to accept challenge of any
OF her male friends for race, in
which, If she does not come in first,
she is always close second.
She is not averse to taking off her
shoes and stockings once in while

Two Opponents of Wood.

Fortunately for the United States
army the two leading opponents OF
Leonard Woods advancement to the
rank of major general are not wicked
Democrats inspired by reasonable
desire to embarrass and disOblige the
President. On the contrary, they are
Republicans of the most expert and
appro ged allowance. statesmen who
have more than once compelled VIC
tory for the party of which Mr.. Roose.
welt is the present chief.
Mr.. Quay and Mr.. Hanna are out
spoken in their declarations that Gen.
Woods nomination to higher rank
shall not be confirmed If they have
any influence in the Senate and 1t Is
pretty generally admitted that they
have such influence. It is pretty safe
to assume. therefore, that il Leonard
Wood becomes major general 1t
will be after the distinguished gen.
tlemcn from Pennsylvania and Ohio
have retired from public life full Of
years and honors.
We may regret that the opposition
of Messrs, Quay and Hanna is not
based upon higher grounds than it is.
The former opposes Gen. Wood be-
cause of that officers covert attacks
upon Gen. John r. Brooke. who is a
Pennsylvania. The latter Is infiu-
enced by resentment OF Woods pros
ecutiOn of Rathbone. which was one
of the creditable acts of the Wood adj
ministration in Havana. The two Sem
ators do not pretend to reprehend the
scandals of that administration.
Fortunately, however, their opposi-
lion. even though inspired by un-
worthy motives, is likely to accom-
plish a desirable end. 1t will prevent
the advancement, over the heads Of
veterans, of man who owes his rise
entirely to the personal relations
which he has enjoyed with two Pres
idents of the United States. In this
case the end justifies the means.

Convict Make. Canes Of Paper,

Convict Makes Canes Of Paper.
A convict confined in the Utah
state prison has sent to the editor q
handsome paper cane, which, he
states, was made from old copies Of
this paper. The tools by which the
cane was made are so few and the
method employed is SO simple that q
boy with little patience can produce
similar canes out of old papers.
The core of the cane Is steel rod
of octagonal cross section, quarter
Of an inch to SIG of an inch in dia-
meter, and about three feet in length.
One end of the rod is threaded to re-
ceive nut; the other end is provided
with ferrule of iron or steel. The
iron rod thus constituted is shown in
Figure 1.
The paper to be used Is cut into
pieces about one inch square. By
means of a punch each piece of paper
is pierced with hole, the diameter
of which corresponds with the dame
ter of the steel rod. These papers are
slipped over the rod, very much as

Concerning "official Elaas.D

some people are disposed to main
~din that the idea of sort of royal
standard for the president of re-
public is an incongruity.
Such people have declared that the
stars and stripes ought to be good
enough flag for any American official
to sail under and that the President
of the United States does not need
{; special standard to be hoisted over
him whenever he takes a trip on
national vessel.
That idea. however, has not found
favor in Washington. and what is
known as the Presidents flag" is
continue to be displayed in honor of
the chief executive of the nation as
the royal standard of Great Britain
is hoisted when the sovereign is on
board a British warship or in resi-
dence at royal castle. Perhaps the
custom is defensible.
When it is sought to be extended.
however, there ought to be a peremp-
tory veto put upon it. AS the head of
the nation the President may be en-
titled to a personal design, but no
argument can be made in defense of
the custom which is growing up of
allotting an individual standard to
each assistant secretary of war and
of the navy.
The logical result of that innova-
ton will be to give every Tom, Dick
and Harry in Washington officialdom
on official fog and specified sa-
lutte. The prospect of such con-
summation is by no means remote. 1t
is by no means pleasant.
If the assistant secretaries of the
military departments, who are mere
clerks. are to have their personal
flags IL is clear that the assistant sec
retaries and even the subordinate
functionaries of other departments
should enjoy like honOrs.
1t is thus entirely possible that we
may eventually see fourth auditor
of the treasury flying his flag from
Potomac river steamboat while the
guns of Fort Washington thunder the
prescribed salute. or superintendent
of rural free delivery in the postoffice
department having the guard turned
out in his honor at an army post.
The possibility is not a mere ridicu-
Ions fancy, but very proximate con-
tingency. When this sort of flunky-
ism, which apes the customs of mon
archy, once gets started there is no
telling where it will stop. and the per-
formances of an assistant secretary

of paper resting against the top OF
the ferrule, which is about " Of an
inch in diameter at the top. Figure
5 shows the rod with the pieces OF
paper slipped upon it.
When five or six inches Of paper.
equivalent to about 1900 or 1900
pieces, are held by the rod, the nut is
used to compress them into a solid.
uniform mass. Since the rod Is
screw-threaded but three or four
inches from its end, and the nut is far
removed from the pieces OF paper,
discarded cotton spools are slipped
over the rod as shown in figure 6, in
order to enable the nut to compress
the paper. AS the nut Is turned, the
pressure is transmitted through the
spools to the paper.
The nut can be turned either By
means of a wrench or by means OF Q
horn handle, with which the cane Is
to be provided after it is finished.

one end to receive the rod. Tho
opening is squared to fit over the nut.
The square pieces of paper are
rounded off by means of knife and
rasp to the desired diameter. Tho
cane is next sandpapered and then
polished with emery cloth. A coat OF
oil is now applied which when dry is
polished with pumice stone. The pol
ish thus attained is heightened with .
little raw oil; and the cane is finished.
