GIRL THREATENED
BY BLACKHANDERS
FOUND IN SW00N
Miss Ida Rubin Cannot Tell
What Befell Her on
High Street.

An air of mystery hangs over the
finding of Miss Ida Rubin, II years old.
of S79 Littleton avenue, in faint con-
dition at 76s High street last night.
Miss Rubin several months ago, while
a student at local business college,
received several blackhand letters de-
manding that a sum of money be placed
near her home or else she would be
put out of the way"
Miss Rubin was found at the High
street address by a patrolman of the
Fourth Precinct. She was unable to
talk and was quickly removed to the
City Hospital. Here the physicians
stated that her condition was not se-
rious and that she had had merely a
weak spell.
Girl Tells Her story.
At her home today Miss Rubin was
in bed and stated in a weak voice to
reporter of the EVENING STAR that
she left her home about o'clock to
meet friend. Miss Lena Raiken, who
lives at 24O West Kinney street. II was
walking about the street when sud
denly l felt very weak and remember
sinking to the ground"
MISS Lena haiken, Wnen seen To-Day,
denied that she had an appointment
with Miss Rubin, and stated that she
was sure Miss Rubin knew she had to
work until o'clock. Miss Raiken said:
I'VE were friends and went out to-
gether very often. I was at her home
on Tuesday evening and all were in
jovial mood. 1t is very strange that
Ida would be so far from my home. I
cannot understand it. and have never
known her to take walks that way be-
fore. She knew that was at work and
had she wanted me she would have
come to the store"
A great mystery was thrown about
Miss Rubin when she received threat
ening notes for large sums Of money
Up to date no light has been thrown on
the letters

MRS. HOPKINS
HES TO QUALEYs
NEWARK PLANT
Woman Who, Mrs. Bull Says,
introduced Her to Asbestos
People, Fools Reporters.

Mrs. Ellen Dunlap Hopkins. who was
named by Mrs Mary Nevins Bull,
widow of the late DR. william T. Bull,
as the person who introduced her t.
John A. Qualey, president of the Mag
a-Asbestos Company, after which
Mrs Bull parted with sS5.ooo in cash
for stock in the concern which stock
she now clainss is worthless. played q
neat little trick on the New York
newspaper men today.
Mrs, Hopkins who has been IN
Europe. arrived on the Lusitania this
morning, but when the reporters
boarded the ship she absolutely re-
fused to talk to them.
mot one word. not one word 1 will
not discuss the matter with anybody"
she declared as she jumped into wait
ing automobile and dashed away.
But the hotek that she went 10 was
the Ston-age plaster plant in Newark,
the principal subsidiary plant of the
Magnesia-Asbestos Company. where
she met Mr. Qualey and Harvey Wiley
Corbett, treasurer of the concern, who,
with Mr.. Quarey, are now out on bail
on charges of swindling Mrs. Bull.
Qualey, with 100 hundred workmen,
was busily engaged in getting the plant
ready for operations. In fact, he was
just touching match to the fires under
the boilers preparatory to making the
first run of plaster from the plant at
4 o'clock this afternoon.
How do you do?" said Mr.. Qualey
as Mrs. Hopkins climbed down from the
automobile. Didn't think you would
get over here so SOON
Well l didn't want to talk to the
New York newspapers until had a
chance to see whether there was any
thing doing at the plant, so came
right over" remarked Mrs. Hopkins
"It commences TO look like business,
doesn't IT," she continued
When asked for a statement by an
EVENING STAR reported as to her
business relations with Qualey and the
Magnesia Asbestos Company, Mrs
Hopkins refused to talk. explaining
that she had Just arrived from Europe
and was not conversant witr all the
details OF the case.

COLUMBUS, Ind. July S-News
from Washington that the center OF

one mile since the last census has

duStry in its midSt-that of raising
centers OF population of the United
States. For the second time success
sirely the center will be in this
county-'artholom counly-and for
the third time successfully within
twenty miles OF Columbus.
Il found large gobs OF joy and en-
thusiasm all around when | went
down there to see just what Il center

ltor. In fact | wouldn't be surprised
if the Columbus Board of Trade
adopted some such appropriate slogan
as We pivot, while other points merely
populate or Columbus, the center of
the United States, the center OF the
world, the center of the universe"
Columbus. the nearest large town
to the exact center. will again be re-
fered to as the center of the conven-
fence. but the actual point will again
be within a mile of six miles south
;. east of Columbus. and Columbus
Heartily congratuates the United
ftates upon knowing enough to hang
onto a center of population that has
made good"
But there is an interesting situation
six miles southeast OF town. where
the exact center was marked ten
years ago on the farm of Henry Mari.
Since the balmy morning when Uncle
Sans serious faced men planted
square white stone, like the market on

mecca for TOURISTS. A larger and

At present it looks as if the 1910

Newspapers and Privacy.

The justest complaint which may be
laid at the door of the modern news
paper seems to me is its invasion of the
home, and the conversion of its re-
porters into detectives. Pretending to
be the defender of liberty, it too often
is the assailant of private right. Each
daily issue should indeed aim to be
the history of yesterday, but it should
be clean as well as truthful; and as
we seek in our usual walks and ways
to avoid that which is nasty and
CHASTITY, so should we. in the narration
of scandal and crime, guard equally
against eXaggeration and puriency, nor
be ashamed to suppress that which
may be too vile to tell.-Henry Waiter

A SUGGESTION.

While we are talking about what the
legislature should do and what is ex-
pected Of the coming session, would ii
not be good idea to get clearly in
mind exactly what is necessary to
make possible the adoption of the
commission form of government by
Montana cities? The decidedly sue
cessful results which have come from
the operation OF this plan in cities
where 1t has been tried, warrant other
cities in action that will lead up to
its adoption. Montana cities are pre-
vented by law or by lack of law from
entering the class of commission
governed towns. 1t should be made
possible to have commissions in this
state.

1t seems highly probable-that Grip
ssen is guilty. Certainly, he is a man
with the morals of an animal. Per-
haps, he is bad enough to warrant his
summary dismissal from this life. 1t
is, howfver. a fact that had he been
tried in this country he would not be
hanged today. He would. probably.
have been given life sentence, but
the least doubt as to his actual guilt
would have saved his neck OF course,
the trial would have lasted for weeks
and the prurient would have thronged
to it. The yellow papers would have
elaborated on the testimony in a
shameful way. The whole affair
would have been disgraceful. Still,
Crippen would not have been con-
demned to death on circumstantial
evidence. The whole case Is veiled in
shadowy uncertainty. Some human
being-inost probably Belle Elmore--
was killed; some other human being
most probably DR. Crippen-was the
murderer. He is the one selected to
die. There seems to be little doubt
but that the pale-faced dentist who
will see the mystery of life and death
made plain today is guilty, that his
soul Is black with his crime.
