CONFESSES TO
MANY NEW YORK
BOMB OUTRACES
John Paul Farrell Says Woman
Victim Was His
Daughter
BETTER DEAD THAN IN
A LIFE OF SHAME
Makes Bomb Identical With One
Sent in Judge Rosal-
sky Case

NEW YORK, Feb. 4,-Beeause he
could no longer bear the thought that
his daughter was living a life OF
shame, John Paul Farrell, according
10 his confession at police headquar-
ters today, made and sent the bomb
that killed Mrs. Grace Walker Tay-
. Tor, In her fiat on West Seventy-sev-
enthrst year ago.
This confession followed that or
Farrell made regarding the bomb that
killed Mrs. Bernard Herrara. Sunday
night, In the apartment house where
he was janitor, and the woman's hus-
band. superintendent. Farrell also
declared he had made the bomb that
was sent to Judge Otto Rosalsky, last
March, and which exploded In the
judges apartment, while being
handled by an agent from the bureau
Of combustibles. Farrell said he did
not mail the bomb, but gave 1t to a
confederate named Tony, TO mail. He
insisted that he had forgotten Tony's
last name, and had not seen him In
months.
The police believe Farrell insane,
but are convinced he has told the
truth about the bomb outrages. That
he made the Herrara bomb, Farrell
proved beyond question OF doubt to-
day by manufacturing in his cell from
materials furnished by the police
commissioner an exact duplicate OF
that Internal machine. IL was also
identical In construction with the
bombs In the Walker and Judge Ros-
alsky cases.
In confessing the murder of the
Walker woman. Farrell astonished
the police by bringing out documen-'
tary evidence tending to prove his
statement that he was the woman's
father.
II could not bear TO see her living
that life. l wrote her many times to
give Il up, and come to me. She re-
fused. I sent her a bomb She was
better dead" was Farrelrs explana-
ton.

Denver, Dec. 9.-The real serious.

From the mountains come reports of
men and women frozen to death and

The bodies of the dead lie in their

undertakers to reach them and the
sick and starving are compelled to go
without relief.
In Denver forty bodies Of dead, VIC

VESSEL IN ARCTIC
Message From Explorer |ndi-
Gates Party Is Safe.

Ottawa, Ont, Dec. 9.-Somewhere
within the confines of the Arctic cir
Gle drifts Vilhjalmir Steffansson's
staunch little vessel, the Karluk, safe
+ ly frozen in an ice pack. But the
leader of the expedition is not with
his vessel and is unaware of its
whereabouts, according to dispatch
received from the explorer himself by
George ]. Desbarats, deputy minister
of naval affairs and acting minister of
marines and fisheries.
SteffanSsOn'S message says that be-
lieving the Karluk safe in the ice in
longitude west 147, fifteen miles off
shore, he took a party ashore with
him to hunt The next day heavy
gales sprang up and then a fog. When
the weather cleared the Karluk was
not in sight and had undoubtedly
been carried away by the wind which
drove the ice pack off shore.
So far the search for the Karluk
has been unsuccessful, but as there is
a crew of twenty-five men on board
no anxiety is felt for its welfare.
The. message received was dated
Oct. 30, from Point Barrow, Alaska.
and was sent overland from there to
Circle, from where it was dispatched
Friday.

Washington, Dec. 9.-President Will.
son went to the Capitol-not to deliv'
er message or to confer with mem.
Ders OF congress, as has been his Gus
tom since he took Office and began
breaking century old precedents, but
to gaze, after the fashion of the tour
list and sightseer, at the nations leg
islatiVe halls.
The presidents visit was as unex-
pected as it was odd. He had slipped
into the Capitol unobserved, climbed
the nu1nberless steps at the west en-
trance and was one of a group of
sishtseers in the rotunda before word
spread through the halls that the
president was in the building.
The president was accompanied by
mis- physician, DR.. Cary T. Grayson,
U. S. ~, and Capitol guides, not know
ing whether or not the distinguished
visitor cared for their attention, stood
in hesitation at distance.
