Echtenstein was murdered and
Stevens and Chase fed in an auto,
leaving Inns to escape on foot.
The Tribune played this story big
this morning. They seemed paTtic-

of Stevens. The Trib said Stevens
was labor slugger"; that he boast
ed of his immunity from conviction
and that he was arrested in connec-

But the Tribune did not tell their
readers that Stevens first experience

streets. Some of our most expert
killers received their first training
while on-the payroll of the trust

their short-pants days they were

handed guns.
Teddy Webb, Frank MeErlane, the

the graduates of the trust press.

CORNELL CoNFESSES SUIT WAS
BLACKMAIL is CLAIM


According to the PinkeTton Detec-
tive agency, Roger Cornell, athletic
trainer, yesterday confessed in St.
Louis that his 100000 suit against
Col. John Lambert, steel trust mil
ionaiTe, for the alienation of his first
wife's affections, was blaekmaiI. He
is said to have named Michael Kelly,
his atty in the suit, and Lillian Johnv
son Cornell, his first wife, as the
arch-conspirators and himself as the
innocent tool"
Cornell made the confession to the
detective agency to whom the steel
trust millionaire has given about
100000 to square his name. He is
also said to have accused Kelly of
being really the one who ahenated
his wife's affections. The PinkeTtOn
sleuths say Mrs, Cornell fell in love
with Kelly when he was a rubber at
CorneI's gymnasium in Pasadena,
Later, they say, she paid his fare
from California to Chicago, where
they lived as man and wife. She may
be prosecuted for violation of the
Mann white slave act, with Kelly as
the white slave.
Cornell said he first entered into
the suit because Kelly told him Lam
bert had debaUched his wife in Pa
sadena, where Lambert has a mag
nificent home on ''Millonaires' Row.
and Mrs. Cornell was chiropodists

CHICAGO. August 23.-The one

give way to return of the old fash
toned dances without struggle, when
the American National Association of
Dancing Masters gets its convention

learned today
Thomas McDougall, Of Pittsburg,
president of the association, pre-
dicted that the new dances are going
to be forgotten in a few months.
Mrs. Edna Rothard Passapas, of New
York, said McDougall was wrong,
and that the zone step will continue
to be the most popular dance during
the winter months" 1t will be an
other year, at least, before the waltz
comes back, she said.
Two new dances may receive the
sanction of the association. They
are a Cuban waltz called "El Damon
