MOTORCYCLE RACES
ATTRACTING ATTENTION

Savannah, Ca, Nov. 1.--With pros
poets of over fifty entries, the Sa-
vannah Motorcycle club members are
hard at work, arranging all details
for the coming 300 mile speed contest
for motorcycles, which will be held
in Savannah on Christmas day over
the grand prize auto course, and which
by the way will be the longest contest
for motorcycles ever known in the
United States.
From letters being received by the
club from out-of-town riders the fifty
limit looks easy to be reached While
only one official entry has been recei"-
ed, this is due to the fact that the en-
tries do not close until December ION
and it is expected that all of these will
come in at the last minute.

CLAIRVOYANT TELLS
WIFE OF MURDER
Which Leads to Arrest of
Murderer and His Sub
sequent Confession

Milford, Nov. l.--Daniel j. Cooper, a
young farmer of West Upton, confessed
last night, according to the state police
that he shot and killed his neighbor
Alfred Bradish, October 4, and hid the
body in the woods until the next morn
ing when he dragged it an eighth of a
mile to a swamp where he buried it.
Searching parties had previously
found no trace OF Bradish.
Acting, it is said, on the advice of a
clairvoyant, who told her few days ago
that her husband had been killed and
buried, Mrs. Bradish notified the police
of the mystery yesterday.
They had Cooper, upon whom sus-
picion fastened, brought to Milford last
night where the alleged confession was
made.
Cooper is said to have declared that
he had no reason for killing ,Bradish,
denying the neighbors' stories of jeal-
ousy.
The police say Cooper followed Brad
ish from his farm and creeping behind
him in the dense woods, shot him three
times with revolver.
BY the Pickering light of lanterns
Cooper last night led officers into the
depths of swamp where the body was
dug up.

GENERAL BOOTH ARRIVES.

America He will 90 almost direct TO

at Chicago. The general was a little

million, including all branches of the
Christian church, are not standing idly
by watching without protest the move
state religion. A committee of seven
has been selected and counter move
ment is under way. The duty of the
committee is that of informing Chris
tians throughout the country concern
ing the various activities G the Con-
fucian propaganda and they are also
seeing to it that a counter petition is
presented to the assembly, calling for
unconditional religious liberty and re-
jecting the proposal to have a state re-
ligion for the republic. Moreover, agita-
tion against Confucianism or any other
religion becoming an acknowledged ma
tional religion is under way in the
Chinese press.
This protest of Chinese Christians Is
not against Confucianism as such, but
simply in favor of the distinct separa-
tion of religion and politics in the new
republic. All that is asked for is free
dom of conscience for Taoists, Bud
dhists, and Mohammedans, as well as for
Christians, it being believed that to
make Confucianism a state religion will
inevitably mean not only reactionary
policy involving a certain degree of re-
striction of other religious bodies but
also an added cause of dissension and
strife in the republic. The Confucianist
agitators, on the other hand believe
that to have a state religion will provide
a much-needed rallying point for pa
triots.

DEVIL CHILR STORY
STIRS ALL CHICAGO
Report Birth of Horned Infant With
Tail To Mother Who Wished for
Devil.

Chicago, Nov. Probably one of the
strangest myths that ever obsessed a
considerable portion of the population
of big city is now the subject Of vast
dispute among thousands of less enlight-
ened residents os Chicago and source
OF everlasting worry to Jane Adams,
the kindly head of Hull House, and to
sciences and the trustees of the art in.
stitute.
Thousands of people have visited Hull
House in search of mythical devil
child, which, it il claimed. was born TO
an Italian woman ON the west side. who,
it is reported, said she would rather have
devil than baby. The story as re.
lated to Miss Adams by a child of the
slums is as follows:
"The midwife showed the mother the
baby. 1t had horns and tail and it
could talk. When the baby saw its
mother it shook its finger at her and
said: "You wanted a devil and you have
got one. If you kill me, six Others will
come"
The academy of sciences and the art
Institute were uelngeu Win inquiries
yesterday as to the authenticity of the
report, while vast crowds besieged Hull
House. Miss Adams thinks that per
haps a deforrned baby was born some
where in the Italian colony and that
it had been merely attributed to the
Hull House district. Whatever its
origin, the report is credited by thous-
ands and the devil-child's powers are
deadly. According to one version, the
father was killed at the sight of it,
