In the big isolated institution. on
a high bluff overlooking the Ohio,
many women met death. according
to a confession ascribed to DR.. H.
q. LutE, one Of those under arrest.
The confession is fully credited by
the district attorney, R. H.. Jack
son. The victims probably number
ed 20. There may have been more,
according to Lutz. And among them
he said. was Dorothy Arnold, New
York heiress. who disappeared mys-
terially in 1910.
District Attorney Jackson smiled
at reports from New York to the
effect that John Keith, attorney for
Francis Arnold, father of Dorothy
Arnold, had come to Pittsburgh un-
known to his employer and investi-
gated report that the girl was at
the Bellevue institution.
"Lutz has come through and told
us everything" Jackson said. 1--WE
have evidence that Dorothy Arnold
was traced right to the door of
Meredith's downtown office in the
Schmidt building. We have learned
enough already to convince us that
in this raid we have broken up one
of the worst places in the country.

will be revealed about Dorothy Ar

RAILROADS PLAN TO
RAISE PASSENGER RATES

Topeka, April 11.-Kansas rail-
roads are planning revision OF
passenger rates. mostly upwards,
according to the new passenger tar
iff schedules published by the Mis-
souri, Pacific and the Santa Fe. A
similar tariff is expected to be pub
lished in a few days by the Rock
Island and the other Kansas roads
undoubtedly will. follow scit.
The new tariff schedules mark the
first important change in passenger
rates made by the roads for num-
Der of years. They do away, in
most instances, with the practice
common to all the roads Of basing
passenger fares between competitive
points on the fare charged by the
line having the shortest mileage be-
tween the two points. The increases
do not amount to much in most in
stances, according to the examina-
ton so far made, of the schedules
by the utilities commission, but In
the aggregate mount up consider
ably.
The new rates are made effective
May /. But they may not go into
effect on that date.

throned, lifted the American girl,
born in Oakland, to the throne once
occupied by Cleopatra, according to
cable advices.
The sudden shift of fortunes,
which deposed the khedive, Abbass
H., and promoted the husband Of a
California girl to the ancient throne
came recently, when, through
member, or rather former member,
of the harem, England learned that
Abbass H. had entered into con-
spiracy with the Turkish empire, had
revolted against the British control
and planned to lead Moslem army
against the allies.
The girl who was his undoing was
from Vienna. He has had her but
short time, took her back to Cairo
and then deserted her.
In that respect he was no differ
ent from his cousin, who now sue
ceeds him. For, while the Princess
Hussien is legally the queen, she has
not lived with her royal husband for
nearly two years, having separated
from him in Paris after the prince
had deserted her..
Here is what she says of Oriental
princes as husbands for American
girls:
''The Oriental husband is the kind
est husband in the world, but 1 advise
American girls not to marry one. The
reason is that the Oriental is the
only man who understands women.
His strong point is love. He knows
it's ethics from A to q. The result
is that his wife is not the mistress of
his home, but its plaything. Oddly
enough, he makes her like it. But
in some incomprehensible manner he
reverses the custom of lovemaking.
The woman becomes the sutton; man
the pursued. He keeps you guessing
