GIRL $ 5 -SUfTOR HELD
AS FATHERS SLAYER
Friends Thought Man Died
Ac,.~-...4Iy Till Italian Was
Arrested.

+ HEMPSTEAD.' n. ", April 9.--It has
been disclosed that Harry Green, whose
body was found last Friday on the
kitchen floor of the house where he
boarded, was really murdered. His
death was supposed by neighbors TO
have been due to a fall until detectives
want to Paterson, n. j.. and arrested
Ted Miller. an Italian, who lived with
Green. charging him with the crime
Miller. 1t is said. was q suitor for the
hand Of Green's daughter Ethel.
The charge of murder. however, was
not a complete surprise to some of
Green's friends. He and Miller had
lived together for some time. Green was
separated from his wife, who lives in
the South. and his daughter, Ethel nine
teen years old. lived with him. Green
strenuouslv objected TO Millcr's atten-
tions to the girl, who Is decidedly attrac-
tive. and Miller Is said to have resented
Green's interference so much that the
latter recently told several persons that
he had been threatened with injury.
For that reason. when Mrs. Clarence
Sprague. who lives next door to Green's s
nome. found him dying on the kitchen
floor last Friday morning the police
waited for Miller to come back. Green
died Friday without regaining con-
sciousness. but Miller did not appear
at the house at all. The suspicious of
tn police were kept secret until Miller
was found I'm Paterson. He will be ar
raigned here today. The charge against
him Is first degree murder.

NEWARK, April 9.--Edwin A. Be-
vcnsee, whose wife. Esther. Is suing
his parents. Mr.. and Mrs. August Be-
vensee. for $4,000 for alienation of his
affections. has filed an answer to the
action, alleging that tho younger Mrs
Bevensee twice tried to commit suicide
and that her mother constantly made
trouble between them.
The young husband charges that his
wife pinched him until he couldn't stand
It; that at one time she refused either
to COOK or wash for him, and that she
refused to permit him to kiss his owp
baby. He asserts thet neither his faith
er nor mother advised him not to live
with his wife.
In March. 1914, Bevensee says he left
his wife because she refused to cook
and wash for him, and when they
patched up their differences again they
went to live in Irvington.

1T RUINS HAIR TO
WASH 1T WITH SOAP

Soap should be used very sparinS-
~. IL at ALL II you want to keep your
hair looking its best. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alhali. This dries the scalp, makes
tho hair brittle. and ruins IL.
The best thing for steady usb is
just ordinary nulsifcd cocosnut oil
(Which is pure and grcasccss), is
cheaper and better than soap OF any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
ly. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub II in. It makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,.
which rInses out easily, removing
every particle of dust. dirt. dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves the
scalp soft. and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsifed Cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy. and n few ounces
will supply every member of the fam
ilv for months.

PHOTOPLAYS AND
PHOTOPLAY YERS
By GARDNER MACK.
Mdude Fealey Thinks
Photoplay. Great
Help For Stars
Of The Stage.
BY GARDNER MACK.

The revival OF one-act plays and
the placing OF stock companies on
more permanent and a much better
and high basis are things which
some OF those who see benefit for
the theater IN the motion picture.
Maude realey, VINO Is almost as well
known In washington as though she
were a native daughter, and whose
work ON the Stage and IN pictures
has been unusually arustic, is one Of
these.
Miss Fealey will be remembered as
having been leading woman with
william Gillette wn,n he first pro-
duCed Sherlock holmes IN this
city. She was forced to retire from
the stage because of i'll health and
when her physician ordered her to
remain out of doors AS much as pos
sible she turned to motion pictures
as Il source OF recreation more than
anything else. She became interest
cd In the art OF the photoplay, and
enthusiastic advocates OF the pic
lures AS an aide to the actress. She
has returned to the stage on sew
eral occasions since she started her
picture work. and each time she has
found herself greeted by larger au-
diences.
Motion pictures sharpen the curl
osity of the public to see the actor
In person" she declares. II am very
fond of my work In the pictures. 1t
means IA permanent abode. and after
years OF travelling that means u
great deal Of comfort. Work in the
pictures also means great deal Of
time spent In the open air and reg
ular hours. which spells health. and
then the pictures dispense with IA
terrific strain OF rnemortzing lengthy
parts for stock work.
The DictureA are n Ureaf cduCa-
tor for the actors. as much research
Is necessary In producing accurately
various historical plays. and the
actor has the opportunity of giving
the public In one year the number
of productions that on the stage
would take ten years. In other
words. the three weeks spent in re-
hearsing a play In stage produc-
tion before its initial performances.
In pictures Is spent in producing the
picture crowded II is a feature OF
four reels). and at the end OF the
three weeks we know It will reach
thousands of the public.
Il think pictures will bring back
the one-act plays. They teach US
brevity-good pictures. l mean. but
when they are padded and drawn
out they. like speaking plays, fail.
Pictures teach us to condense mat
ters and tell more in fewer words.
But lust at present the public Is
showing by its fondness for pictures
that speech is silver and silence is
golden. and so We must rest our
voices-but only for time-and
then favorites will have to be hea rd
as we'll as seen. and thus bring the
real drama back to its own.
LAS the revival Of the palmy stock
days. I think they will come again:
lust as the fashions change. 30

of Shakespeare-which hold their
own for time. then die out, to be
revived successfully later for a few
