Priest Slayer Found to
Have Robbed Guest
and His Church.
EASTER FUNDS TAKEN
Fails to Record Many Marriages
Performed During Year
All Are Illegal.

New York, Sept 1.-Two more
crimes took their place today On the
police record of Hans Schmidt, the de-
posed priest, who already has confess
ed to murder and counterfeiting.
Ransacking Schmidt's room, detec-
tives found evidence that Schmidt had
stolen $400 from the Easter collection
at St. Joseph's church and had robbed
visiting priest who had spent the
night at the rectory, a guest of the To-
cal clergy. An empty purse found in
Schmidts room proved to be one the
priest lost not long ago.
Schmidt still insisted today that
neither Muret his dentist friend, nor
Anna Aumuller, the girl he murdered,
knew anything about his counterfeit
ing operations. In reply to written
question sent to his cell, he wrote:
Anna knew nothing of my plans to
solve the social question by creating
money for all the poor people here and
abroad" Schmidt maintains he made
bogus money from philanthropic mo-
tives only.
MtREI IN THE LOmbs'
Detectives continued to receive in
formation casting light upon the past
life of Muret, who was lodged in the
Tombs today. Many young couples
are in a quandary concerning the le-
gality of their marriages performed
by Schmidt Recently Schmidt per-
| formed many marriages without de-
! manding licenses and made no record
| in the church books. These marriages
are illegal and must be performed over
again. The police have abandoned
hope of finding the head of the Au-
muller girl. They are investigating a
tale about a fisherman who hooked
something heavy last night in North
river. Just as the supposed catch was
nearing the surface it dropped off the
hook, leaving a long human hair said
to resemble the color of the hair of
! Anna Aumuller.
SCHMIDT FRIEND SUICIDES.
| Ascaffenburg, Germany, Sept. IA
retired school inspector named Helm
| committed suicide at Moenchsberg,
near here, today. He was friend and
/ regular correspondent of Father Hans
! Schmidt and was considered insane
| by many of the villagers. The au-
thorities are inclined to believe Schmidt
responsible for the murder of a tele-
phone girl named Haas, whose body
was found near her parents home a
short time before he left here.

Japanese Servant Saves Life of
Los Angeles Publisher in
Second Attempt.

Washington, D. c., Sept 1.-THE
postoffice inspectors VIII make rigid
investigation of the latest attempt
upon the life of General Harrison
Grey Otis at Los Angeles yesterday.
One of the theories was that the
bomb might have been sent by some
foreigner agitated over the Mexican
question and possibility of Intervention
of the United States.
Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. 17.-For the
second time within three years bomb
yesterday jeopardized the life of Gen.
Harrison Grey Otis, owner of the Los
Angeles Times, which was destroyed
by dynamite Oct. l, 1910.
That he escaped injury probably
was due to the watchful eye of his
Japanese servant, who received from
the postman an internal machine
mailed in this city and called his en-
ployer's attention to it.
The first Internal machine directed
at the life of Gen. Otis was found at
his residence a few hours after his
newspaper plant had been destroyed
through the efforts of the Mcnamara
conspirators.
The attempt on his life today was
attributed by the general to agencies
friendly to those whose conspiracy
eventuated in the destruction of his
newspaper plant and the killing of
,tyenty-one men three years ago. -
Chief of Police Sebastian expressed
the belief that the bomb had been
sent by some person violently opposed
to Gen. Otis newspaper policy with
regard to the Huerta administration in
Mexico.
Capt. E. B. Feltz, a powder expert
in the police department, took the ma
chine to a sparsely inhabited section
of the city near the Los Angeles river
and there pried open the box
He found matches fixed to the in
side in such way that if it were open
ed in the usual way they would have
rubbed against pieces of sandpaper
and ignited. There was also black
powder. small section of fuse, two
Illuminating caps, and two sticks of
So per cent dynamite, which tore a
great hole in the ground.
The wrappings were given over to
the postoffice inspectors, who began
an investigation.
Federal, county and city authorities
today searched the business section
and portion of the cheap hotel dis
trict in the hope of finding the sender
of the dynamite bomb received
through the mails yesterday. The dyna-
mite used in the internal machine was
an extremely high-powered explosive
known as "eighty-five per cent" the
same as used by James B. Mcnamara
in blowing up the Times building,
Oct. l, 1910.

ENGLAND FACING
A SERIOUS STRIKE
Railroads and Docks Are Tied
Up as Union Men Leave
Their Places.

London, Eng, Sept. 17-England is
threatened with the most serious
-ssrfke OF. union labor in its history,
according to union leaders here today.
The trouble began with lockogts of a
large number of workmen last week
in Dublin in consequence of a strike
of transport workers because of en-
ployment of non-union laborers. Rum
blings of discomfort have since been
heard throughout the entire labor COM
munity of the British Isles, but thus Tar
the eruptions were only in the larger
cities. A sympathetic strike of the
Liverpool docks and railroad workers
there and at Birmingham already has
stopped the three great trunk railways
serving the midland counties of Eng
land, and Manchester Ship Canal COM
pany is contending with a strike of
dock laborers for better wages. In
Liverpool seven great freight depots
are idle.
In Ireland, too, all attempts have
failed to settle the Dublin trouble.
London is only affected by the strike
on railroads in the midlands. Labor
members of parliament declare the
trouble has been caused by the deter
mination OF employers to challenge
the rights of labor to organize.
The mansion is treasure house
filled with unique antiques and old
tapestries, articles left there by Queen
Elizabeth, who frequently occupied the
house during her reign. The art gal
leries contain the most valuable Van
Dykes and Holbeins in England.
Calumet, Mich, Sept. 1.-THE
presence of President Meyer of the
Western Federation of Miners, who
arrived a few days ago and coun-
selled against disorderly tactics has
been productive of absolute quiet in
the copper strike zone. Strikers
again today contented themselves with
orderly parades and picketing.
President Walker of the Illinois
Mine Workers returned here with
fresh assurances of organization in
support of the strike.
Bay City, Mich, Sept. 17.-All coal
mines in the Michigan coal mining dis.
tricts were closed today and operators
insisted they would not be reopened
until differences between the union
and Handy Brothers Mining company
were adjusted. Three thousand men
are affected. Today's action follows
the recent strike of 700 miners oi
Handy Brothers because of the alleged
refusal of the company to pay men
what is due them under working agree
ment made in April, 1912.

Los Angeles, Cal, Sept 17.-Miss
Kitty Phillips, 20, is the principal wit
ness against George H. Bixby, Long
Beach millionaire, who is now on trial
for Turing young girls into dens of vice.
1t was her testimony more than any
thing else that induced the grand jury
to return indictments against Bixby.
According to Miss Phillips, she and
BiNOy were good friends until she
learned that he was married. Then
she said she would have nothing fur
ther to do with him and that he said,
81 will follow you until you are in
your grave"
Later, the Phillips girl was taken
into custody on charges of alleged
blackmall and keeping a disorderly
house. The girl, believing the charges
TO have been inspired by Bixby and
other wealthy men who had been her
admirers. told the chief of police of
conditions which led him to demand
the grand jury investigation which re-
suited in the Indictment of Bixby.
Bixby claims that Miss Phillips and
other girls associated with her, who
accuse him, sought TO blackmail him
into paying large sums as 80 pSkee
Of the women's silence regarding nc
titious escapades.
