DAYLIGHT ZEPPELIN
RAID MAY Be NEXT
New Flyers Can Rise to 10000
Foot Altitude, Where They
Are Safe.

LONDON. Sept. IA daylight Yep
pelin raid over England may be the next
German surprise packet almost any day
now, according to c. q. Grey, editor OF
the Aeroplane. After pointing out that
Zeppelins are not SO apt to show them
selves over British cities during the
briefly dark summer nights, Grey adds;
Nevertheless, II IL net at all safe
to reckon this as q certainty. Zeppelin
airships which have reached this coun-
try so far have been ships OF twenty
five to thirty tons capacity. These,
when fully loaded, could only reach a
height of 5000 feet or so. When empty
they could perhaps get up to 1900 or
1900 feet.
''It is stated by generally reliable neu-
trails that the Germans have a number
of new ships with lifting power OF
about forty tons. so that when carry
ing the same load as the older ships
they should be able to rise to about
10000 feet or higher. easily. When half
their fuel and bombs are gone they
could go up to 1900 or 5000 feet" Grey
explains that at this height the ships
would be out of reach OF all but the
best aeroplanes, and most anti-aircraft
fire.
Hold an ordinary lead pencil above
your head at arms length and you have
about double the length and about the
size Zeppelin would appear at an aiti-
tude Of 1900 feet.

The story told by his confession is this:
On the Sunday of the murder he
went to the home of Mr. Phelps. He

He accepted it, and some time before
IL o'clock he was escorted to the guest
room, which Mr.. Phelps in his hoSpi-
tality put at his disposal. In the room
he waited until things grew quiet. He
had determined to rob his aged host
Shortly after II o'clock King left his
room and stole out His mission was
to rob Mr.. Phelps He did so. but

King confessed that he took his pis-

that then he took the same pistol and
shot and killed Miss Wolcott.

.Affidavits were submitted in motions
for retrial asserting that lawyer
for Stielow had trapped this detective
into a description of the methods by
which he obtained the alleged confess
sion. Stielow has consistently told his
lawyers that he made his mark TO the
confession without realizing what the
paper was and simply to avoid con-
slant badgering by the detective.

ALL HOPE HAD BEEN LOST.

of Double kilin3-Robbery the Mo-

The death house at Sing Sing prison
was filed with activity on the night
of July 2S, for there was to be an
electrocution the following morning.
Charles Frederick StielOw had been
sentenced to pay the death penalty on
crarge OF murder that morning. The
prison ministers were in his cell. the
chair had been prepared. his death suit
had been given him, with the Sits in
1t for the electrodes. His hair had been
cut so as TO make clear space for the
deadly instrument. The condemned
mans family had said their last good
by, and all hope had disappeared.
Outside the prison, however, friends
were at work on the case, convinced
that a man was about to be sent to
the great beyond for crime he did
not commit. Stielow was popular. a
good natured, jolly German, he proved
himself to be one of the most likable
men in the prison, and other prisoners
and guards were convinced that man
of his disposition was not guilty of the
crime with which he was charged
Justice Guy of the New York SUI
preme court then sent stay of execu-
ton TO the prison in order that the
evidence might be reviewed This re-
prieye put new life and new hope into
Stielow and his friends. They went to
work with renewed yigor in their en-
deayors to prove him innocent

King had been suspected of the
double murder for some time. His
arrest followed weeks of investigation.

The Fortune Of
An Architect
By ELINOR MARSH

Margaret Midway early developed
taste for art, and at twenty she de-
cided that instead Of waiting for
husband she would be the architect
Of her own fortune She planned to be
q decorator Indeed, being an orphan
with nothi1fg1to live on, 1t was neces-
sary for her either to support herself
or marry some man to support her.
That Margaret was naturally Of an
independent disposition is evident from
the fact that so rented a cottage, In
which she proposed to live alone and
have her office.
One day a young man appeared on
the premises and seemed to be looking
them over. Margaret went out and
asked him If he was thinking of buy
ing the property. The man looked at
her admiringly, for she was a pretty
girl, and replied that he was consid-
ering whether it could not be fixed uD
and used for residential purposes He
said that he was an architect
And / am a decorator" said the
girl
Indeed! In that case we might
work together
"Do you represent the owner?' she
asked.
Yes. I'll confer with him, and II
he will employ me to repair and make
additions to the house and give you
the decorating job we may make some
thing out OF it,
He went away, leaving Margaret to
think of the matter. She paid NOM
inal rent and if she could make a few
hundred dollars by decorating the
house it would pay her to find another
home. But she was thinking more of
the young man than the job. He had
very pleasant way with him, and his
smile was quite engaging. The next
! DAY he came back and said that he had
made an arrangement with the owner
for fixing up the property. He was to
spend $500 on 1t and receive $500
for his services. He would pay Mar
garet half his fee if she would design
! and superintend the decorations. Mar

IF that architect" said the contrac-
tor, spends as much time with the
decorator of every building he designs
as with this little job I'm afraid he'll
not get through many jobs
When the contractor had finished all
but the servants quarters Margaret
moved out of her little bare room into
sumptuous quarters. She asked the
architect when the owner would come
to inspect the work and was informed
that he had been there a number of
times already. Margaret wondered at
this, for she had not seen him. But
she was informed that he was well
pleased, especially with the decora-
tons. and this satisfied her.
The work was finished at last, and
architect and decorator one afternoon
went through the house and grounds
together.

One day after they had been mar

looking unutterable things at him,
said:
