New York. Sept. 23.-Hans Schmidt
the murderer of Anna Aumuller, was
a priest, and not layman.
This fact was established at the
Tombs by the Rev. Francis Market,
professor in the College of Techny,
Techny, ILL.,, who identified Schmidt as
q boyhood friend and fellow student at
Mainz, Germany, and the Hans
Schmidt who went out into the world
as an ordained priest.
Father Market told Of his boyhood
acquaintance with Schmidt. He said:
Was Pious Boy.
"As a boy he was very pious, but
old, he began to show worldly dis.
position. The last two years of his
studies he was at Schletstadt.
think he was in college until 1899 or
1900. After finishing his studies at
Schletstadt, he entered the seminary
at Mainz, where he remained two
years. Then he got permission of the
Bishop of Mainz to study at Munich.
Later he sent me copy of paper
which stated that he had been gradu-
ated as a doctor of philosophy. He
returned to the seminary at. Mainz
and was ordained on Christmas 1906
or 1907.
81 saw Hans Schmidt last at Con-
zanheim, near Mainz. That was in
1908. He was acting as an assistant
priest. A few weeks later l heard
that he had left Gonzanheim. There
was a rumor that his disappearance
was the result of a forgery of docu.
ments about the degree of doctor of
philosophy. wrote to Schmidts
brother about the rumor, saying that
if 1t wasn't true 1t should be killed
off, but he wrote back that there was
something to it. That was in 1909.
81 finished my studies at Vienna in
1910 and before starting for America
] paid a visit to Schmidt's parents.
They asked me to look him up in
this country. The address that they
gave me was Trenton.
81 sent Schmidt postcard inviting
him to meet me at the steamship pier
but he did not come. was not sure
at the time that he was acting as a
priest. In Germany he had been
known as Professor Schmidt.
Says Schmidt Is Insane.
81 had no idea that Hans Schmidt
could do such thing as he has. He
was such a model boy and such a
pious youth. He was one Of the
most brilliant students, ever knew.
He was such a kind man, such good
man, that do not like to think about
his crime. There is no doubt in my
mind that he is insane"

FIVE-MINUTE SCALP MASSAGE
Persevered In, This Treatment VIII
Bring Best Results and Hair

If your scalp is dry and shows dan
druff, get a bottle of ordinary red
vaseline. Put very little of the vase
line on the tip of each finger of your
hand; then rub the tips of the fingers
Of the other hand against those that
have vaseline on them. There should
be apparent then only slight oiliness
of all the finger tips. Next place the
finger tips upon the scalp at the edge
of the hair, one hand at either side
of the head 1t does not matter much
whether you start at the nape Of the
neck, or on the forehead, but wher-
ever you do start, let the hands be an
even distance apart For instance,
place one in back of each ear. Once
started rub the finger tips above each
temple, slowly and gently forward, I'M

ward toward the chin, and then from
the throat downward toward the
chest. Do this two and half min
utes, and the remaining two and a
half massage with a pure skin food

that alcohol is absorbed rapidly, and
that If the skin food is applied quick
ly after, it, too, will sink quickly in.
When finished give the throat few
dashes of cold water and pat dry.
Now, if you wish the best results.
do not put off starting this massage
until you are badly in need of the
treatment, for then five minutes will
hardly suffice. Start right in now and
make a five-minute massage part Of
your daily toilet. Keep it up and in
time you cannot help but notice de-

will surely help to retain the beauty
you do possess, besides keeping In
allegiance the many troublesome blem-
ishes which affect the skin.

A concrete dam is to be built across

The legal proceedings to obtain the
water rights for the irrigation plant
and the taking of water from Pawnee
