Middletown Young Men Cover Vice.
 Principal Parker with Flour.

Middletown. June 16.-The walk around of the class of 1906 at the local high school. which occurred yesterday morning. will long be re- membered. for it assumed the propor- tions of a small riot before it ended. For some time the pupils have been dissatisfied, with the government of Lawrence Parker. the vice-principal. and when it came time for their walk around yesterday the seniors decided to play horse with him. All the boys armed themselves with missiles. Most of them had a pocketful of beans. though some had rice and sugar and two boys had bags of four The walk around was orderly until 1t reached Mir Parker's room. when the boys be- gan to groan and hiss. As they near ed his desk they began to pelt him with the beans and other things. When he wasn't looking the boy with the flour soaked it at him and then he looked like a dusty miller. Some of the girls were so startled they left the room. The seniors finally gather ed in the lower corridor and gave three cheers for the other teachers. but all Mr Parker got was three groans.

POLICE WORK \ SCHEME
The Aged Mothsr of Murdered MH,
 Alice Kinnan Induced to Leave.

New York. June 16-For the first
 time since Mrs Alice Kinnan was mur. dered at her mothers home in the
 Bronx week ago, the police will have
 an opportunity to make thorough search of the house. Mrs Louise A. Stanton, the mother, who could not be induced to leave the place and turn tho house over to the police, was finally persuaded to leave after n ruse had been played on her. She was taken to the home of woman friend and will be cared for there for several days. The police had about lost patience in the matter and 1t is stated that they had intend ed applying for commission to inquire into Mrs Stanton's sanity. Mrs Stanton's lawyer called upon her last night and requested that she go to the home of friend for < few days. She declined to do so. Mean time the lawyer had secured Q cab and outside the friend whose guest Mrs Stanton was to be, and trained nurse were in waiting. After trying in vain to induce the aged woman to leave the place. the lawyer picked up n handful of silver spoons and forks and started for the door. Mrs Stan ton followed calling after him to put the silverware back. On the yernnda her friend and the nurse took her by either arm and esca ted her to the waiting cab. Mrs Stanton objected strenuously at first, but consented to go when told that everything at her home would be protected. A policeman was placed on guard at the Stanton home last night.
 New developments in the case show according to Acting Captain Price. who is in charge of the detectives nt work on the mystery. that there was a plot on foot to obtain the money and property of Mrs Stanton. by mar rying her to man whom she met through an advertisement. Captain Price says that man who knew the old woman was a parts to the plot, that Mrs Kinnan heard of 1t and that it was in an effort to foil it that she met her death.
 Captain Price said that an arrest would be made in the case in few hours. He says that he knows that the supposed friend of the family was in the stanton house on Thursday night when Mrs Kinnan and her daughter quarrelcd He also says that the would-be wooer of the aged Mrs Stanton was in the house on the night that Mrs Kinnan was killed.
 The police told yesterday of learning that Mrs Stanton had advertised for husband. They believed that she did so at the suggestion of the man whom she had known we'll The detective had been waiting all through the week to hear the stories of two bicycle riders who were said to have been in front of the house about the time that the crime was committed. Yesterday these two men, whose names Acting Captain Price would not reveal. cal!- cd on him and told about seeing a man running aways They gave a fair ly good description of the man. and from what Price said after talking to them there seemed no doubt that he connected this fugitive with the visi- tor of Friday night.
 The first supposltion of the detec- tives now Is that this man had called at the house and. not receiving the money. struck down Mrs Kinnan at the doorway. Old Mrs Stanton de- clared yesterday that she owed mo- body dollar.

to one side. Graf swerved the machine
and crashed into a lamppost.
DR.. w. P. Byrne of % West Sixty-ffth

in the West Sixty-eighth street police station
on a technical charge of homicide.

FEELS PASTOR AT CHURCH DOOR.
Greenwich Constables Search for Husband
or Good Looking Organlst.

GREENWICH, Conn, April 1.-The Rev.
John kopp, pastor of st. Paul's German
Lutheran Church of Byram Shore, was
about to enter the church this evening
when he was attacked with a Ratchet by
some one who got safely away. The min
ister's scalp was laid open and his eye
blaokened.
Jealousy on the part of the assailant Is
believed to have been the motive for the
assault. Constables Medley and Fulton
are looking for Albert De Paul, an Italian
s%tonecutter, who they say is the man who
attacked the pastor.
Mrs. De Paul is a good looking young
German woman. She teaches in the par
ochial school Of the German church on Sat
urdays and on Sundays sings in the choir
and occasionally acts as organist.
Mr.. Kopp comes from New York when
ever services are held. After the alta ok
tonight he was picked up unconscious
and taken into the church, where the con-
gregation awaited him. Mrs. De Paul.
who was seated at the organ, tainted as
the pastor was borne past her to the base
ment Of the church.
The De Pauls live in the house of J, Henry
Schmehl. He was with Mr.. Kopp when
the attack took place, and reported to Sheriff
Ritch that he was unable to capture the
assailant. He notified the Sheriff that the
man was De Paul, and then disappeared.
Mrs. Schmehl sale tonight
Think De Paul went crazy with jealousy.
He ran in and out of the house all the after
noon, and tonight, just after the assault,
he ran in and l heard him throw something
on the floor, then lock the door and run
out the back door. He said in my hearing
that he would kill my husband, and he is
afraid OF him. The Ratchet was found
on the floor where I heard the noise"
Members of the congregation have
sheltered the minister and Mrs. De Paul
tonight for fear that De Paul will kill them.
The Port chester police say that De Paul
took the 1927 train from that place to New
York tonight. Constable Medley has tele-
phoned the Detective Bureau in New York

DETECTIVES FIND EDNA.
No Recovery OF the Banks Money Turney
Stole Reported.

The woman known as Edna, known TO
Joseph A. Turney, the defaIiting EDte teller
Of the National Bank OF North America,
has been found by the detectives in a nearby
town, Vice-President Lee Of the bank
made a hurried trip out of town yesterday
as soon as news of this reached him, an d Is
believed to have had ar interview with the
woman. Mr.. Lee got back last night, but
he refused to tell anything about his trip.
He said he might have something to say
to-day.
The woman is said to be about rs years old.
The detectives found that she had been
living in an apartment house in this city,
but left own when Turney was arrested.
They we're able to find out enough about
her to enable them TO trace her. She Is
said to have come to New York less than two
years ago with stage aspirations, which
Turney fostered with his money. The
purpose OF the bank officials in seeking her
has been to find out whether Turney turned
over to her any Of the $4,000 he got from
the bank. and, IL so. TO get 1t back. Whether
they have succeeded in this could not be
learned last night. Turney Is believed to
have deceived the woman as to his income
and his place in the bank, and also as to
his FAMILY.
The note teller appears to have been
quite a well known figure in the restaurants
on Columbus avenue and Broadway in the
neighborhood of the Twenty-second Regir
ment armory. He was often accompanied
by the young woman whom the detectives
have been seeking.
Turney is to be brought up In the Tombs
court for examination to-day. He has con-
fessed that he stole the money and is ex-
pected to plead guilty. Officers OF the bank
had a talk with Mr.. Jerome on Saturday.
They will not be positive that Turney has
not stolen more than $4,000 until the ao-
countants finish their examination, which
may be to-day.

ORCHESTRA AN BUT DrCKED.
Tank Cover on Hippodrome stage Went
Down With Hcrbert's Men.

Victor Herbert and.the sivty-tive members
of his orchestra narrowly escaped a ducking
in the big Hippodrome tank yesterday
afternoon. The leader and his musicians
were rehearstng for the evening perform
ance.
John Thompson, the chief engineer of
the Hippodrome, was doing a little re-
hearsingi in his line at the same time. Thomp-
son was at work in the basement, ex-
perimenting with the machinery which
lifts and lowers the stage floor, He wants
the floor TO move faster, because the tank
is filled twice instead of once in the new
performance.
The orchestra was booming when it be-
gan to sink with the floor. The water
spurted up in little fountains through the
cracks. There was an abrupt break in
the music, loud cries of dismay from the
musicians and a wild scramble to save their
instruments and themselves.
Nearly every member of the orchestra
had his feet wet. ONE fed to the rear Of
the stage, but most Of them jumped of
into the auditorium. The tank contained
more than a loot of water before the en-
greer got word in the Jsement that he
lad drowned out the music.

Find wife Twice Married.

SAVANNAH, Ga, April 1.-After being re-
garded as dead for sixteen years j. D.
McEwen has returned to his wife, who in
his long absence has been twice married.
In 1887 McEwen, then only IS years old,
eloped with Miss Alice Goody, II. After
two years of welded life, in which one
child was born, they were separated through
the influence Of the wife's parents, who
were very unfriendly to McEwen. The
husband disappeared and in a year or so
his wife was induced to believe him dead
and married N. +. johnson, with whom
she lived fifteen years, bearing him two
children.
In 1904 johnson died and a year later the

band had returned she left Sarsen and
went to her first husband and they are now
living together. McEwen and his wife
