BY United Press wire.

Cincinnati, o.. Jan. 31-Jesse
Van zandt, held by the police In con-
nection with the brutal murder satur-
day of his wife, this morning collaps-
ed completely in his cell and is now
on the verge of a physical and nerv-
Gus collapse.
The collapse followed the discovery
Of new clues In the case which may
not only connect him with the crime
but may also furnish a motive. The
principal of these is Miss Agnes Barry
seventeen, pretty young girl who is
now being detained at the convent of
the Good Shepherd and with whom
Van Zandt Is now known to have been
infatuated for months. For a time
Van Zandt was a regular caller at the
Barry house. Then the Agrl's father
ordered him to keep away. Fully as
infatuated with him, however, the
girl made almost nightly visits to Van
zandts office where they spent hours
together. These and similar sordid
details of the relation were Sunday
secured from the girl at the coRvent
of the God Shepherd.
To the girl, however, Van Zandt is
declared to have made no threats
against his wife, bur merely-to have
declared he was trying to get her to
go East to her relatives, where she
could get q divorce.
Van Zandt's deterioration from the
almost model man he had formerly
been, into the all but wreck that he
was at the time of his arrest Is de-
clared to have dated from the Begin
ing of his infatuation with this girl.
The last meeting between Van
zandt and the girl took place week
ago Monday when the couple together
with the girls brother a third man
and two other girls spent the night
together I'm a room where they had
been drinking earlier in the evening.
The next morning the girls father
turned the girl over to the convent
sisters.
The police are now engaged In an
attempt TO account for every moment
of Van Zandts tim during the Satur-
day forenoon of the murder. SO far
they have been able to ascertain that
he was with his wife at 10 o'clock
Saturday morning. The murder oc-

HATS MADE AT HOME
WOMAN WHO CAN REMODEL HER
HEADGEAR Is FORTUNATE.
Results Are Economical When Styles
Change often-Dressy Summer
Designs Arc Made With Gown
Material for Trimming.

Hats are the most perishable things
In a womans wardrobe. and so
headgear often needs to be renewed
before the summer Is over. Those
who can afford to replace the old with
new are fortunate, but those who can
make their own hats will find it q
great saving Of money to get up some
thing at homo.
One of the most useful fads of the
summer for the home milliner is, the
use Of gown material for trimming
A number Of the outing hats Of linen.
RATA, batavia and peanut braid are
very simply trimmed with a scarf of
the same goods used for the little coat
frocks worn with them. The sequence
between the headpiece and costume Is
very neat and pretty, and as the scarf
Is merely tied around the crown, with
a bow at the back or left side, the
process Of trimming is not matter
for worry. For young girls who look
we'll in such shapes big fiat crowned
sailor may be made of a plain linen
and a Powered cretonne or a Persian
cotton. The shop hat in these mate
rails will have the crown glued over
tightly with the figured material and
the brim covered with it down to
about two inches Of the edge. This
and the facing of the hat are in the
natural linen Of the hat shape.
Linen hats In these shapes may
often be found and they may be made
lighter by cutting out the crown and
putting in another In the same shape
of coarse-meshed milliner's net. En-
tirely over this, with the edges run
ming down over the brim, gay cotton
or silk handkerchief would be put by
the up-to-date girl, for such a method
of trimming is now regarded as very
stylish.
A hat of drawn net made over a
wire frame, which would go appropri-
ately With foulard frock, could have
bias edges and chou of immense size
Of the same silk. The addition of a
rose would give it the tr.le milliner
look for the modiste always gives an

Stevenson's Grandson Finds Treasure

The lad stopped digging because his
shovel had encountered an obstruc-
ton. Tested carefully the thing that
resisted proved to be metal Then
Louis dug more furiously than ever.
In few moments he unearthed a
metal box. And, sure enough, it con-
tanned treasure. Opening it hastily,
the boy found 1900 shares of valuable
stock, deeds to city property, other
valuable papers and several empty
ring boxes.
Of course. the boy did not realize
the value Of the property, but he knew
the papers must be worth a great deal
or they would not have been placed
in such a secure box. So he hastily
carried his find to his mother. who
turned the property over to the police.
The papers belong to Augustus I'M
brie, a wealthy man whose house Is
closed and who is out of the city. The
police think robbers ransacked the
lmbrie residence and, after taking
money and jewelry from the box,
buried it.

NEW YORK.-The fowl house of

lied one day recently when some sharp
eyed tattlers noticed the simultaneous
disappearance of Clara, one of the
young wild gray geese recently given
to the zoo, and Brigham Young, the
little Black Spanish game rooster
whose wild ways have deprived him OF
the countenance of the best classes In
the fowl house.
It came out that Brigham Young and
Clara were out in the park together.
Chief Keeper Snyder, who vent on
their trail as soon as he heard about
their disappearance, got wind of them
near the alligator pool. A black wing
feather by the eagle cages also
showed that B. Young had been there.
He had lost the feather trying to con-
verse with a South American condor.
Then he went on up the path, walk
ing in a manner that said that he
thought himself pretty fine fellow.
The little wild gray goose seemed to
be extremely proud of him.
1t was about here that the little gray
goose felt such thrill of freedom and
life that she quacked in her coarse. IN
cultured voice, and abruptly left the
earth for flight in the air.
