SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 20
Easter Island the riddle of the Pa
cifc, Situated 1000 miles from the
nearest continent, rock bound and
stormswept, this small desolate island
the farthest outpost of the Polynesian
group, has earned the title Of The
Mystery of the Pacific"
This sphinx Of the oceans and
its nearly extinct inhabitants have
proven a battling problem to scientists
and explorers of modern times 1t is
said by some to be the remains Of
a submerged continent and declared
by others only to have been inhab-
tied by an advanced race of natives.
The Easter Islanders were the only
natives of the Pacific islands who had
developed the art of writing Their
inscriptions are on wooden tablets
and bear a remarkable resemblance to
ancient Babylonian These hero
glyphiCs have never been deCipher-
ed
This mysterious people was race
of idol worshipers and had mastered
to some degree the art of sculpture
and masonry.
On the island, which is about so
square miles In extent, are immense
platforms facing the sea, formed of
large stones fitted together, some Of
which weigh five tons, and in places
the sea side of the walls are 30 feet
high and over 200 feet long. On these
platforms stand colossal figures cary
ed out of lava from an extinct crater
eight miles away.

and the doctor had no idea his visitor
was a priest.
Many young married couples living
in the vicinity of St. Joseph's Church
were in a quandary last night CON
corning the legality of their marriages
which had been performed by Father
Schmidt. Another priest of the church
said that many such marriages had
been discovered. Recently it was said
that Schmidt had performed many
marriages without demanding licenses
and had made no records on the
church books. These marriages are
illegal and must be performed over
again.

The little town of Aschaffenburg
Germany. the birthplace of Schmidt
is all atiutter at the news Of the young
priests act, according to special cable
messages received from there to-day.
Schmidts parents, a sister and three
brothers live in neighboring villages
and are highly respected middle class
people. Schmidt the messages stated,
was ordained before his moral def
ciencies began to be noticed.
In 1909 Schmidt decided to come to
the United States, and not until few
weeks ago We're his whereabouts
known, when he wrote that he expect
ed soon to revisit the scenes of his
childhood. This desire to return
home, the messages indicated, was
due to his learning that his parents
had recently come into a comfortable
fortune. One OF his brothers is a mine
railway official. one owns a railway
restaurant and the youngest is a
tradesman. His sister is the wife of
a grocer

ter read
Muret finally admitted under ques-
tioning to-day that he had known
Schmidt at least a year. Their ac-
quaintance began when Schmidt con-
suited him as patient, he said, and
a friendship developed.
Schmidt frequently came to the
dentists office to change from cleri-
cal garb to citizens clothes, Muret told
the prosecutor In an earlier state
ment to Police Captain Henry. Muret
admitted, according to Henry that he
knew Father Schmidt was making
preparations to print spurious bills
Il advised him not to do this" said
the dentist, but he continued his
work along this line, not paying the
least attention to what ! said"
Schmidt still insists that neither
Ernest A. Muret. his dentist friend
nor Anna Aumuller, the girl he muir
dered, knew anything about his coun-
terfeiting operations.
In reply to a 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 that he made
bogus money from philanthropic mo-

was known outside the police depart

No man of Schmidt's varied pursuits
could be insane, the detectives say,

with a master mind-a man trained in
many things which he turned to ac-

Farmers Fruit To

Scientist Tells Them to Make
Denatured Alcohol and Use It
as Motive Power.

KANSAS CITY. Sept. 2O.-Farmers
should get the motive power to run
the engines on their farm machinery
from denatured alcohol made from
inferior apples, Joseph NJ Anglada, of
New York. said in an address here.
This is the solution of the problem
for supplying power on the farm" he
said. Farmers should establish CO.
operative alcohol plants. There are
barrels of apples which go to waste
on the farm. The farmers of each
neighborhood in which apples are
produced should gather up these ap-
pies and take them to a cooperative
mill and denatured alcohol could be
made in large quantities.
THE motive power furnished by
alcohol is more desirable than that
from any other source"
