MYSTERY OF THE RosALskY
CASE OF LAST WINTER ALSO
is EXPLAINED.

New York, Feb. 4.--John Paul Far
rel, janitor, confessed today that
he sent to Bernard Herrera last sun
day the bomb which resulted in the
death of Mrs. Herrera and serious in.
jury to Herrera and Miss Gughtman.
a boarder.
Then Farrell astonished the police
by calmly recitlng that he sent the
bomb which killed Mrs. Helen Tay-
lor a year ago, adding that Mrs. Tay-
lor was his laughter.
Next Farrell solved the mystery
surrounding the sending of bomb
last year to Judge Otto Rosalslxy.
Finally, he explained the death Of
Kid Walker, slain in 1887.
He slew Mrs. Taylor. he said, be-
cause she was his daughter and had
gone wrong. Kid Walker was
killed, he declared. by man named
Lestange. because Walker mad
caused Mrs Taylor's downfall. The
attempt on Judge RoaaIskys life, he
added vas made because the judgsa
had sentenced a criminal, unnamed.
to 20 years imprisonment. The bomb
was sent to the judge by man
known to Farrell only as TONY"
Herrera's life was sought, Farrell
said, because he Herrera, said he
would discharge him as janitor. Far
rell was employed az the apartment
house where Herrera is superintend-
ent.
Before the astonishea detectives,
the maker of deadly bombs construct
ed dummy Internal machine, ex-
planned how he made it, what he put
into it, how it operated, and what
the damage would be to the person
who should open it. The Taylor and
bombs he said, were en-
trusted to the mails,
In the case Of Herrera, Farrell
said he had crept upstairs when Her
rera was away and had placed the
bomb, wrapped in pasteboard box
on the landing outside his door. He
insisted, however, that he intended
only to scare the family.
Arrested yesterday as a material
witness" Farrell confessed only al
ter an all night grilling. He held out
until dawn. Then the detectives sent
for Deputy Police Commissioner
and the prisoner went
over with him what he had told the
others. The construction Of the dun.

Farrell told the police he began the
Herrera bomb last Thursday night,
it Friday and kept it in
his room till Sunday Unmoved BY
he knowledge that his recital might
send him to the electric chair the
bomb maker placidly took pencil and
paper and drew numerous diagrams
explaining how he had planned then

He began work on the bomb after
Mrs. Herrera had notified him that a

III Paso, Tea FEB. The last ex-
listing group Of ex-insurrecto federal
troops is believed to have Joined the
revolution or been disbanded A doc
ument signed by General Jose Blan-
co was made public today in which
the former commander of Madero's
rebels orders his captains to "do as
their conscience dictates" in disband-
ing their troops or joining the reyo-
luton.
The order, it is said, was signed
when Bianco was a prisoner of reb-
els who released him on parole. Blan-
co.'s command consisted of some 800
cavalry operating in the Casas Gran
des district. The federal commander
remains here, as his parole will not
permit him to enter Mexico.
The Chihuahua smelter of the Gug
genheim system has, been compelled
to close on account Of fuel shortage
due to the interrupted railway traf-
fic between the state capital and the
border. Mines and plants employing
more than 1000 men are dependent
upon the smelter and soon will be
compelled to close down.

GIRL EARNS HER OWN
WAY AT UNIVERSITY

University of oregon, Eugene, July
5.-To earn a college education by
her own unaided efforts is the pur-
pose of Miss Beatrice Littlefield of
Minam, who entered the University of
Oregon as a freshman last autumn.
And Miss Littlefield'S first year has
been an earnest of success in her un-
dertaking, for she found time not on
ly to earn her own living keep UP with
her studies and make many friends,
but TO participate prominently in stu
dent activities In debating she was
chosen a member of the women's in
tercollegiate team. which met the de-
baters of the University of Washing
ton on the platform and defeated
them. She was the only freshman to
make the team.
When Miss Littlefield came to the
University nine months ago she had
only the few dollars she had got to-
gether during the summer by picking
berries and working about a farm
near Elgin. At the University she
earned her way principally by helping
in housework. This summer she will
work in berry fields and hop yards
and possibly teach until time to re-
sumo her studies next fall.
The University of oregon is one of
the not too numerous institutions

Dondon.--'I would rather stand on
the merits of my art than on the mer-
its of my Paris frocks." declares Mrs.
known to theater goers by her stage
name of Claudia Carlstedt, who an
nounces her intention OF deserting the
variety stage for music.
Mrs. Wheeler, who is the wife of
Gallatin Wheeler Jr., the millionaire
subway constructor Of Chicago and
New York, and daughter of Prof. Ak
ell Varlstedt, of Boston Conservatoire,
came to London for the Hippodrome's
successful revue "Come over Here"
and made a big success but she says
she is tired of revues. "I am weary
of the spectacular, and want to re-
turn to musical work. Theater man
ayers nowadays attach far too much
importance to dressing and display.
Dressing is more important than art in
their view, but nothing could be more
wearisome than enacting the part of
a beautifully gowned figure. I am
tired of walking around in my beau

Rome.-Italy, which for years has
been trying to elect parliament that
would enact divorce law seems to be
in far way to lose out again. The
Catholic citizens of Italy who are not
permitted by the pope to vote, are
however, permitted to interest them
selves in certain phases of prospec-
tive legislation a campaign
Is now being carried on to secure the
pledges of all parliamentary candi-
dates for the June election to vote
against the proposed divorce law. Ar
official announcement of the Popular
Union of Italian Catholics, just made
is that $50 of the candidates have al
ready pledged themselves against the
measure.

where an ambitious student can make
his own way. A great state university
of the middle west has recently sent
out notices that no student must come
without money enough to finance his
whole first year, but at Oregon SO per
cent of the men cary their way in
whole or in part, and many of the
young women go far toward paying
all their own expenses. Miss Little
field, in fact, is not the only "co-ed"
who has got on without assistance,
but her case is notable for the promi-

encountered by Hose Company No.

passing the plug at the corner of Main

real their hose in time to make con-
nections This disqualified the team
providing the team from No. Z could
complete the maneuvers required.
This was done, the team getting water,

water in 1928 1-2. No. 2 made a
second attempt in the nature of an
exhibition but this time the plugmen
failed to get water through the first

length was disconnected. The crowd
surging between the plug and the cart
prevented him from getting the signal
in time. The members of the winning
team were Fred Brown, foreman; Will
