London.-A party of newspaper men

PLAGUE KILLS MANY

Geneva.-The little village of Al

offered a striking illustration Of the
value of dogs in criminal detection.

trail early In the affair.
Alstaetten was celebrating q feast
day this week, and. according to Gus
tom. the villagers ended the day OF
floral dances and games in the open
with banquet and ball at the prin-
cipal local restaurant.
At about o'clock on the day Of
the celebration a pretty Swiss girl.
Mile. Regina Staebbler. aged seven
teen, was found dead In q lonely road
just outside the village. The discov-
cry was made by some peasants on
their way to the restaurant The po-
lice were informed and made an In
vestigation OF the spot. They found
clutched in the victims hand q small
piece OF cloth which had evidently
been torn from the clothing Of her as
sailant during the struggle.
The police were about to repair to
the restaurant and look among the
dancers for a man whose clothing
might show signs of being torn when
1t was suggested that dog might be
used. A wolf-hound was procured and
made to smell of the torn cloth. He
started on on the trail, leading the
police through fields and by paths to
the restaurant where the ball was go
ing on. He scrambled out and In
among the dancers. and finally pounc-
ed upon a man who was dancing and
tried to attack him.
The latter was arrested and his
clothing examined. A hole was found
into which the piece of cloth exactly
fitted. Confronted by this evidence,
the man made a confession. He had
killed Regina because she had left
him for another.

LIBEL ON ARIZONA WEATHER

was riding down through Arizona last
summer on a train on which there
was a party of Englishmen. You
never know what hot weather is until
you ride through some of those south
western states in the summer. The
heat rolls up in waves and smites you.
Everything except the rattlesnakes
and the Indians stay out of the suns
rays as much as possible.
.On a station platform stood a
dilapidated sprinkling can. 1t was
full Of dents and the spout was l~ing
near the can, both evidently not hav-
ing been used for months.

lishmen. Well, look at that sprinkling

UPH0LDS HIS WORK
Sculptor RendS Veil From Mem
orial to Wilde.
Designer Of "De ProfundIs" Voyages
In Night to Avenee Affront-
Weeps With Countess De
Fremont In Cemetery.

Paris.-Jacob Epstein. the New
FORK sculptor, made a midnight race
from London 10 vindicate his profess
Ilonal honor and the memory of Os-
car Wilde. At the goal he tore from
the Wilde monument In Pere La
ehaise, this city, his handiwork, the
covering placed over 1t by Director
Hedequor of the cemetery. Hedequor
insisted the work violated the sanctity
Of the dead.
After travelling all night, Epstein
had a dramatic meeting at the GENE
terry with Countess de Fremont, who
was a close friend and devoted ad-
mirer Of the brilliant writer and up
held his genius, as proved in her re-
cent book, Memoirs Of Oscar Wilde"
The countess went there to protest
against the action OF Director Hede-
uuor without knowing that Epstein
was In Paris. She came face to face
with the sculptor in front of the tomb.
There was a moment of intense emo
ton and then, tears in the eyes of
both, Epstein dramatically sprang to-
ward the monument and tore the I'M
mense tarpaulin from 1t, revealing
the work which is likely to cause a
controversy that will be a sensation
In the artistic world.
To correspondent. Epstein said:
What sacrilege to basely try to
sfface a monument to a great poet!
I'll remain here until ] gain my pur-
pose-the monument must and will
stand
The glory Of Oscar Wilde's genius
shines despite all attempts to belittle

The monument in dispute represents

the stereotyped school of monumental
art.
