fore, but she had company then and

Such was the startling confession
that Ambrose Van Bushkirk, a Is
year old South Lawrence lad, made to
the police authorities here, they as
sert, in connection with one of the
most shocking and brutal murders in
the history of this city.
He had been taken to headquarters

badly beaten by a robber who looted
her store last Saturday that she died
yesterday without regaining con-
seriousness.
AT first he denied all knowledge
of the crime or the bludgeon found
in the store, but after being put
through the third degree by the
police for over three hours, he finally
blurted out what he declares to be the
truth of the matter.
Calmly and dispassionately, as if
only cOnfessing guilt of mere

of tear in his eyes or even a quiv-
prinp Of his Inns the nOlicp say he
told story the like of which has
not been heard from the lips of a boy

duced 'bill to require every ocean
passenger steamer certified to carry
fifty passengers, before being granted
a clearance for a foreign port 500
miles or more distant, to be equipped
with an efficient photographic in
stallation with an operator on board.
This action followed the receipt of a
telegram by Burke from Reuben Mill
er, a retired banker of Pittsburg, who
was on the Republic.
IL was on the wrecked Republic, "
wired Miller, ''and had it not been
for the wireless and the relief 1t
brought to us | feel sure all on board
would have been lost. Can you not
start an international movement to
compel all vessels carrying passengers
to equip themselves with wireless
telegraphy?"
The bill was referred to the commit
tee on merchant marine and fisheries.
