County Charged With Brutal
Murder of Brother.

RICHMOND, Va, October 50.-Dr. A.
W. Chamberlain is in jail here charged
with the murder of his brother, A. P.

bench, whose body, dismembered and
horribly mutilated, was found late
Sunday afternoon deeply buried in the
yard of D-. Chamberlain's home, ten
miles west of Goochland Court House,
Va.
DR.. Chamberlain was arrested Thurs
day after the disappearance of his
brother earlier in the week had aroused
suspicious of his neighbors. A search
was instituted Immediately. Sunday
the naked corpse was found buried in
the back yard. Some distance away
the head was found at the bottom of Il
fence post hole. The feet, legs. arms
and heart were found in other post
holes. The stomach is missing and the
heart and lungs are chopped to pieces.
leading to the belief that the man was
first poisoned and then butchered.
Until the finding of the body DR..
Chamberlain was kept in the insecure
iail of Goochland county. Feeling
against him became so intense Sun
day. however. that he was moved here
to avoid lynching. The coroner jury
verdict is that Judge Chamberlain

A. W, Chamberlain, in manner not
determined.

Pitts victory in the game with Penn
is hcra1ded as a moral triumph for
Pennsylvania. However, Penn prob
ably is not as strong in comparison

indicate. In every foot ball season

times has narrow escapes from de-
feat. but he must be given credit for
having turned out at Pitt teams which
always have been able to show just
that little difference which means VIC
tory or the lack Of which spells defeat.
Penn State probably is represented
by the lightest team it has had in
years. Both the backfield and line are
much lighter than usual, and the team
is not showing the great power and
drive against teams in It's own class
which formerly characterized its of
fense. State last week got victory
in it's game with Wesleyan by to Z
only after the hardest kind Of strug-
gle. True 1t ran up enormous scores
against Gettysburg and St. Bonaven-

are very strong. Penn State, like prac-
ticalIy every other state college, lost
heavily through it's athletes volunteer

LEAGUE AssA1LS PACIFIST.
German Church Manifesto Warns
Against Peace Heresy Here.

AMSTERDAM. October 3o.-on the oc-
casion OF the 4ooth anniversary Of the
reformation, the German Evangelical
League launches from Wittenberg mani
festo, in which the militant sayings OF
Martin Luther are applied at random to
present-day events. The manifesto re-
tects pacifsm and thunders against the
Pope's peace proposals as being invested
with no religious authority. The mani
festo concludes:
I'VE especially warn against the heresy
promulgated from America that Chris
tianity enjoins democratic institutions and
that they are an essential condition for
the establishment Of the kingdom OF God
on earth. AS Luther said: The freedom
Of a Christian does not depend on the
forms of government which are shaped
by historical developments and the accu-
mulated experience OF nations

I have seen large fields of oats rotting on the ground, where they had been cut and shocked, when a little extra effort on the farmers part would have conserved q crops thus gone to waste. Large ricks of hay have been left in the field from one season to an other, when there was d strong demand for hay at good prices, and when this very farmer was borrowing money and consequently paying interest.

You are about to take a step," she said. (which will throw your life into a new and strange channel. You hesitate, for your parents apparently object But something is about to happen. And all will be we'll"
 The young lady in question, Jumping to the conclusion that the spiritualist was speaking of her prospective stage career, was appreciatively excited and gladdened the heart of the seeress by an open declaration that everything she had said was true.
 ADDRESS IS LOST
 Well, the following morning something did happen. Miss Tallulah was dispatched to a drug store on an erranw. While waiting for a rather prosaic young man to twine a string about tte package she had purchased, she idly turned the pages of the Motion Picture Magazine.
 There before her eyes were the pictures of the 12 successful of the well-nigh half million contestants for those trials before the camera.
 Tn the twelfth young lady she recognized herself.
 And above her own picture these words appeared:
 "WEo Is she?'
 And underneath these sentences:
 This young lady is selected as one of the successful 12, but unfortunately her name and address have been lost. It is in the hope that some reader might supply the necessary information that this picture and notice Is printed"
 DREAMS COME TRUE
 The spiritualist had spoken the truth. Something had happened.
 Miss Tallulah ran home as fast as sne could, got enough money to purchase the magazine, ran back to the drug store, purchased the magazine, and ran home again-all in the batting of an eye.
 Her father gave hds consent that she undergo the trial. Her aunt, Mrs. Lund, agreed to accompany her to the studio and remain with her during her stay in New York. And the future does look roseate.
 In the meantime, the magazine Is proo- ably congratulating itself that next week it will be able to inform the wildly ex- cited public that the young lady of mys- tery has been identified that she is the daughter of a member of the House of Representatives, a granddaughter of senator of the United States, and in her own right, girl of charm and beauty and what is more, youth and imagina- tion.
