One of the strangers grew solici-

flashed In the Griswold house, We'd

there were many wicked persons In
Detroit, who would not hesitate to
take money from strangers while
drinking with said strangers. Then
Mr.. Post remarked that he was pret.
ty lucky to meet such good advisor
just them, for he was planning 70 go
out for a little time that very night.

HOAX WORKED OFF ON
CUB REPORTER CAUSES
SCARE AT WHITE HOUSE
Veteran Newspapermen Tell
Him Internal Machine Had
Been Received
REPORT SPREADS RAPIDLY
Demands Are Made by Officials,
But Green" Writer Proves
He Is Ambitious
REPORT SPREADS RAPIDLY

WASHINGTON, July 1S.--A little
hazing stunt meted out last night to
a green" reporter on the White
House beat by several veteran
newspaper men, today resulted In a
countrywide scare that an attempt
had been made on President Taft's
life with an Internal machine. The
new reporter walked into the press
room OF the executive offices to be
emit with the query:
Did you get that internal machine
story?"
The reporter said he didn't and the
hoax manufacturer told him remark
able yarn, with all the picturesque de-
tails. Finally, because the green re-
porter got SO visibly excited, they told
him II was a Joke.
But the report nevertheless spread
over the country. The well-known
habit Of the secret service to hush all
such stories, coupled with what seem
ed TO be the mysterious and persistent
denial of all officials that they had
heard OF the attempt"-the usual dip
lomatic way here OF evading the issue
lied number OF newspaper men to
assist in spreading the report.
The White House was literally de-
luged with demands for information.
All sorts of wild rumors cropped up.
One story had IL that II wasn't an ex-
plosive in the internal box" but dead
ly gas.
The original report said that Assist
ant Secretary Sherman Allen put out
the fuse In the bomb, burning his
hands in so doing. but heroically saw
ing the lives of the president and his
employees Secretary Aliens hands to-
day didn't exhibit sign OF q burn.
Moreover Allen carefully explained in
voice weary with repetition that the
White House procedure invariably in
volved opening OF all mail and ex-
press packages by special clerk
whose duty is was TO sort out the cor
respondence. No package would have
gone to Aliens desk unopened.
At the White House today newspa-
permen were asked to give publicity
to the declaration that the White
House did not desire to dignity such
an absurd report with an oficial de-
NAL.

NEW YORK RIPPER IS
FOUND DEAD BY OWN HAND
Nathan Swartz, Who Slew 12-
Year-Old Julia Connors,
Ends Life With Gas

NEW YORK, July 1S.-Police in
|spector Hughes, In command or lne
detective bureau, today announced
that Nathan Swartz, murderer of IL
year-old Julia Connors had killed him
self. The inspector identified the
body of a man who committed sui
eide at No. 219 Christie-st., by illum-
mating gas, as that OF the missing
confessed slayer Of the little Bronx
girl.
When the suicide was reported to
the police, Hughes was skeptical be-
cause of several identifications CT
bodies in this vicinity during the last
"a hours as that OF the missing mau.
He jumped into a department auto
mobile and took with him to tie
Christie address, two policemen who
had been familiar with the murderer
In life and the parole officer to whom
he reported At the house Hughes
stated that all of them positively
identified the body.
Jacob Swartz, father OF the missing
man and his two brothers went TO
the house and they also identified
the body, which was then ordered re.
moved to the morgue.
Swartz cheated the electric chair
after living within a few blocks or
police headquarters here, and passing
daily scores OF police and detectives
who were seeking him. He was found
dead In bed In a room in the teue-
nIent rooming house at No. .219 Chris
tie-st. A piece of hose attached to
the solitary gas jet In the room, the
end In his mouth, tied fast to his
head with an old cotton handkerchief,
indicated plainly the cause OF death.
AS soon as his body had been idep-
titled II was hurried OF to the public
morgue and the murder case was Of.
ficially marked closed
Swartz left behind him a letter In
which he confessed his guilt of the
murder OF the little girl he decoyed
10 his fathers apartments In the
bronx and cruelty stabbed and put to
death. This letter cleared up some
previously unknown details OF the
terrible crime.
Swartz went TO the Christie-st.
rooming house which Is run by Sam
Kaplen, a week ago. He rented a
single room for which he agreed to
pay $3.50 a week. He told Kapien
/, that he had to get up early each day
and the latter agreed to call him
each morning at 6 o'clock. The child
murderer gave his name as Max
Hirschkowitz, and as he was out
little different In appearance from
any Of the other 30 roomers In the
house, no attention was paid to his
-comines and goings.
Today Kaplen went to the-room "a
cali him. He knocked on the door
but got no response. After pounding
Tsveral times he got chair and
climbed up and looked over the tran.
som. He saw Swartz lying In bed
with the gas hose tied to his mouth.
