MURDER MYSTERY GROWS
Murray Probably the Black
Sheep of a Prominent Family.

/Eastbourne, Aug. 3.-The four murders
and suicide committed by Hicks Murray
here on August 10 promise to furnish one
of the greatest mysteries in the annals OF
English crime.
The detective department and host OF
reporters have been investigating every
possible clew to the murderer-suicides
identity. but no progress has been made
in solving the problem. He was supposed
to have been an officer in a Scottish reSi-
ment. but this has been proved erroneous.
The belief gains ground that Murray
was the black sheep OF a prominent fam
fly. although there is nothing TO demon
strate this. In his marriage certificate
Murray gave his fathers occupation as
barrister, but no trace Of such person
can be found. Beyond this certificate and
his claim to have been a soldier In INDIA
Murray never spoke OF his past.
The burial of Murray and the woman
and three children who were his victims
is to take place tomorrow at the expense
of the town

NO REPRISALS BY SUEZ
Reductions of It's Canal Tolls
Virtually Automatic.

Paris, Aug. 23-The Suez Canal Com
pany declares that II is quite a mistake
TO imagine that the reduction OF the Suez
Canal dues is In any way connected with
the Panama Canal The directors Of the
Suez Canal Company have not. they say
even thought of reprisals against the
Panama Canal.
In reply to reports cabled here from
America. stating that canal rate war
was predicted in Washington and that
this would involve all the maritime ma
tions Of the world. the Suez Canal Com
pany to-day authorized the following
statement:
For many years the Suez Canal Com
pany has pursued a policy by which every
time It's dividends have increased the
tolls have been reduced. IL was In ac-
cordance with this traditional policy that
the stockholders were advised at the
gen .ral meeting last June that reduc-
ton of dues would be granted. The d.
rectors OF the company have In no way
considered the hypothesis OF measures OF
reprisaL
The Suez Canal Company at its annual
meeting in Paris on June 3 reported an
increase OF 1856, 90 In it's receipts COM
pared with the preceding year, the total
for 1911 being s27.762,COO This, IT was said
at the meeting, Justified a further reduc-
ton I'm the tariff on vessels, which would
go into force next January
The reduction in tolls granted by the
Suez Canal Company to become effective
with the beginning Of next year amounts
TO % centimes 10 cents per ton.
Reductions in the tariff OF the SueZ
Canal are virtually automatic. The plan
followed is explained in the article on
the Suez Canal In THE Encyclopedia

the dues should be reduced TO sis francs

should be applied in reducing rates until

DANTE DISCIPLE SENT UP
Chevalier Hallen Sentenced to
Four Years and Two Months.

James d. Hallen, a soldier of fortune
whose adventures have ended in prison
cells more than once, was sentenced to
four years and two months yesterday by
Judge Grain in General Sessions on his
plea OF guilty to grand larceny. A letter
written 10y Joseph z. Collins, who en-
ployed Hallen as a lecturer, was Offset
by list OF seventeen alleged swindles in
which Hallen was concerned. The latter
was submitted to the court by James A.
Delehanty an Assistant District Attorney,
and was compiled last April by Isidor
Wasservogel, the assistant attorney who
was about TO prosecute Hallen on the
grand larceny charge when he jumped
his bail.
Mr.. Collins, addressing the court as
My Lord" said that Hallen was "a lit.
erary exponent of one Of the most treas
ured classics that has been handed down
to us from the middle ages. Dante's mas
terpiecc, The Divine Comedy. tie
showed, said Mr.. Collins, marvellous
knowledge of this grand literary produc-
ton of the Italian master which evoked
universal admiration
Mr.. Collins referred to Hallen's declin-
ing years and his young wife, and asked
for a suspended sentence, saying ne
would be of considerable advantage TO
the community at large
Judge Grain read the letter and then
read Mr.. Delehanty's list. 1t showed that
the Hotel Astor had lost S5S, the Colonial
Hotel 800. a woman 500. another $500. and
that numerous other persons blamed Hal
len for their losses through stock anu
check transactions. Then he sentehceu
him to four years and two months
HaIlen was indicted for passing
worthless check for $50 on Brokaw Broth
crs His most notorious exploit was IN
1eo7 when he sent a cargo of copper III
ings to Nicaragua instead Of sll'Wo worth
of cartridges. He has been in many other
escapades growing out Of his fondness
for diplomatic intrigue. He is hfty-eieht

SMALL GIRL SAVES CHILD
Thirteen Year Old Angela
Proves HeroiSm Habituai.

Angela Ford. Of No. 142 Jefferson
avenue, Brooklyn, though only thirteen
years old. saved eight-year- odd Mildred
King yesterday from drowning in Old
Mill Creek, a tributary of Jamaica
Bay. It was the third life that the
girl had saved this summer.
In order to bring the younger girl
ashore, Angela, fully dressed, had -
swim q distance of two hundred feet
against a strong tide, but she was
fresh when she succeeded in getting
Mildred ashore.
The younger girl was playing about
a float and fell overheard. There were
"A number OF grown persons not far
away, but none of them saw the lit
tie girl in the water and she had been
swept some distance from the float be-
fore Angela saw her head just above
the water. She did not wait TO call
any one, but jumped into the creek
and swan as fast as she could for the
child, who was being taken further
away by the tide each moment.
After a hard swim Angela got to
Mildred and started ashore, and though
she called out in the hope that some
one would hear her, no one did, and she
saw that If she would save he little
girls life she would have to do It alone.
Just before Angela got back to the
float two women on the bank Of the
creek saw her and ran TO n launch,
from which they assisted her In get
ting Mildred out of the water, but they
were not able to save the brave little
girl any of her hard task of swimming.
After IL was all over, Angela's moth
er, who had forbidden the girl to go
into the water, came from a nearby
house, where she had been slipping tea
with a neighbor in plain view of the
rescue, although she did. not see it. or
course, Angela was forgiven for going
into the water without permission. and
in few days Mildred is going TO give
a party in her honor.
4 few weeks ago she pulled her
younger brother out of the water in
time to save him from drowning and
earlier in the summer she went to the
rescue OF a playmate. Mamie Wagner.
Angela has known how to swim for
several years. She is the best swimmer
about Old Mill Creek

slowly filing past the body.
The coffin was placed in the midst Of
