TEACHERS PAY DELAYED
UNDER RECENT DECISION

Proper Provision for Sub
Stitute Instructors.

Two hundred teachers of the public
schools Of the District Of Columbia will
be late in getting their pay checks this

today. and those teachers who were pres
ent every school day in December will
receive their money promptly.
Fail to Comply With Instructions.

counting officers last week Of the con-
troiler's decision, and requested that their
pay roll due at the District building to-
day should be made up in accordance
with that decision. The pay roll arrived
today. but 1t was not made out the way

Sister Showing Strain;
House to Be Searched

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CUMBERLAND. Md, January 3.-May
Elosser is showing the mental strain
resulting from the talk linking her name
with the tragedy here, and from the
statement that her arrest may follow her
sisters funeral. 1t is not thought the
girl will be locked up on evidence now
at hand. but she may be taken to the
office of States Attorney Robb and oues-
toned further. The family has, been let
alone as much as possible in their grief.
alone as much as possible i'm it's grief
May Elosser tainted again last night By
the bier of her sister she called on her
and on God as witness Of her inno-
cence.
The Elosser home was overrun with
people all day. The members Of the fam
lily have not kept away from their friends
OF outsiders. Newspaper men have been
received by the father, mother and sis
ters and the details of the mystery dis
cussed.
The youngest sister in the ElOsser
family, Mrs. w. N. See, the only one mar
ried, said today:
Grace was not the kind of girl to have
taken poison. She loved her home and
marriage, for which she had made elabo-
rate preparation. If poison was the cause
of Grace's death, Twigg gave it to her
and she took it unknowingly.
States Attorney Robb, a Scotchman,
who has been pursuing the case with
bulldog persistency. gave out the state
ment today that he was convinced of
murder He takes no stock in the sui
eide theory. The opinion is growing. from
the fragments of information CLEANED oy
the authorities, that Twigg himself did
it; that he was mixed up with several
girls, and that he thought he was In a
trap, and ended all by taking the girl
with him in death.
Chief of Police Harry Irvine, who is
backing the states attorney in the inves-
legations, says he will make a careful
of the Elosser premises at
once. No exhaustive search has been
made. except of the parlor, in which the
bodies were found.
The police have been more communica-
tive than the states attorney. and have
let drop the impression that an arrest
will be made after the funeral
The funeral will hardly be over before
o'clock. The cemetery is two miles
from the Elosser house. The service at
the church will be prolonged.

BIG FINES ARE PAID
BY BUCKET SHOP MEN
Plead Guilty to Technical Vio-
Iation of Law in the
~,s District.

Eight thousand one hundred dollars in
new, crisp bills were the receipts of the
first business day of the new year in JUS
tice Wright's court today. This sum rep
resents the aggregate of the fines imposed
on six citizens of New York who were
indicted April i last by the local grand
jury on a charge of conspiracy to violate
the law against conducting bucket shops
In the District, and who pleaded guilty in
Criminal Court No. this morning.
The defendants and the fines paid by
them are: Richard f. Preusser, 81, 500:
Leo Mayer. $500; George Turner, $3.50:
E. S. Boggs, 500; o. J. Robinson, 500,
the fines Justice Wright pronounced
against Preusser, Mayer and Turner SEN
tences of two years imprisonmentsea CHI,
but suspended the execution of the SEN
tences and allowed the defendants to go
their way upon condition that they do
not again engage in the bucket shop busi-
ness.
Not Intentional Violation.
While pleading guilty, the defendants,
Preusser acting as spokesman, read to
the court a statement, in part as follows:
'On behalf of Mr. Mayer, Mr. Turner
and myself. i desire to say that the stock
brokerage business in which we we're
engaged i'm New York was organized
under the direction of one of that states
most prominent attorneys. by whom we
were advised that our methods of ham
ding our customers business did not
violate any law. We were members of
the Philadelphia Consolidated Stock Ex-
change. the membership of which num-
bered only one hundred brokers'. We
looked upon our exchange transactions
as perfectly legitimate, and as differing
from those of the New York Stock EX-
change only in volume.
No Customer Lost Money.
Not a dollar due a customer ever went
unpaid. Every share of stock ever called
for was actually delivered. In less than
a year we delivered 3,3OO, 600 worth of
stock.
Our local counsel Mr.. Hogan. has in
formed us that our stock brokerage busi-
ness fell within the prohibition Of the
District of Columbia law, and that we
are at least technically. however unin-
tentionally. guilty of the charge made
against us. Such being the case, we have
no desire to range ourselves against law,
and have therefore come here to plead
guilty and submit to the judgment of the
court"

and an alarm was sent in. Although the
firemen responded promptly. they were
unable to check the progress of the

Famed by high wind. the flames
spread rapidly. Word was sent by te1e-
phone to adjoining towns for help. and
although the flames were within 900 feet
of the building i'm which the telephone
exchange was located, Miss Nealon stuck
to her post and continued to send appeals
for assistance.
Bad Roads Delay Helpers
Owing to the condition of the roads
1t was nearly three hours before the
firemen from contiguous towns arrived
with their apparatus. In the meantime
the fire was licking up building after
building, all of which were of wood,
until the flames reached the railroad
track. on the north. Here they were
checked temporarily, but sudden shift
of the wind sent them back toward the
business section again and they de-
stroyed buildings on the opposite side
of the street which had escaped in the
earlier spread Of the confiagration.

the Hudson river, and has q population
of about 400 Its chief industry is
slate mining, and it is a popular summer

Gum, He Says.

CUMBERLAND. Md. January s.
Following the funerals this afternoon
Of Grace Elosser and Charles Edward
Twigg. whose death here last Satur-
day afternoon, the day prior to their
marriage, has proved to be one Of the
most mysterious cases in police annals
in Maryland. States Attorney David A.
Robb said developments were Of such
a nature that the mystery of the trag-
edy is likely to be cleared up in few
days
The states attorney declared that no
arrest was contemplated today, but po-
lice officials intimated that there might be
such action after the funerals this aft
ernoon.
For the frs. time since the discov-
cry of the dead bodies of Twigg and
attorney has talked at length on the
case. He declared positively today
that the suicide pact in his investiga-
ton must be eliminated. He said also
that his opinion was tha: the chewing
gum found in the mouth of Twigg did
not contain potassium cyanide or any
Of it's equivalent. although he Is pos
tive that the death of the pair was
caused by cyanide of potassium or hy-
dro- -cyanic acid solution.
Ridicules Candy Theory.
He further said that the theory ad-
vanced by some that the poison may have
been administered by means OF candy
was ridiculous.
These suggestions are all untrue.

mystery. l will say, however, that am
very strongly inclined to the murder
theory

Elosser was being conducted here this
afternoon the last rites were being held
at keyser, w. Va. over the body of the
man who was to have been her husband
Sunday last. Hundreds of persons

where the services over Miss Elosser took
place. was packed. In his sermon DIR. w.
w. Van Arsdale, the pastor. and long
time friend of the Elosser family, spoke
feelingly Of the death of the young wom-
an whose body, attired IN the white satin
dress that was to have been her wedding
gown, lay In its casket before him, and
denounced those who are of the opinion
that she killed herself.
Twigg's funeral took place from the
Methodist Episcopal Church at Keyser,
and burial was in the cemetery adjoining
the church.
The entire ElOsser family will be put
on the stand at the coroners inquest, il
