MERGE RED CROSS
Pershing Directs Consolidation
of American Aid in France.
Centralize Effort and Eliminate
Red Tape Is His Plan.

Paris, June 23.--The AmaIgamation
OF the American Clearing house, one
OF the chief institutions for handling
the vast supplies contributed by
America with the American Red
Cross, has been decided upon by Cen
eral Pershing. The transfer has be-
gun and the complete organization of
the clearing house will be in the
hands of the Red Cross by September
l. Inc clearing house has been the
intermediary between 5000 societies
ana contributing individuals in the
United States and has handled 55 900
600 francs worth of food and cloth
ing and 100000 francs in cash All
It's administration has been by Ameri-
can volunteers under the presidency
or II. Herman Harjes and the bust
ness management of H. o. Beatty,
VINO becomes director general of the
merged bodies. The new organization
with which the clearing house COM
bines is the American Red Cross for
France and Belgium, which recently
arrived with Maj. Grayson Murphy, a
member of the war council as chief
commissioner, and James H. Perkins
rs assistant.
L. S. Inspiration of Troops.
The amalgamation is part of the
constructive work with which General
Pershing has been busy since his ar
rival he mas FOUND II necessary to
combine, centralize and subordinate
20 one authority the numerous mis-
sions of military character that have
arrived here The result sought is to
eleminate confusion and duplication
of effort.
The longer the American military
leaders are here the more they ap-
preciate the Importance which the
French attach to Americas decision
to send troops. The soldiers are de-
sirable not merely for themselves but
because American participation in the
war in military way has had a Won
derfully inspiring effect on all the
other allied troops.
Another task which the Americans
are facing is the elimination here and
at home of as much red tape as pos
sible. Every dag makes them feel
more and more the necessity of as
free hand as possible as they are
actually on the ground and cognizant
of the needs of the situation.

The sturdy quality, the splendid value, the
proven dependability and durability of the
present models will be continued
Studebaker daily sales continue to show
that the public is quick to recognize, and al
ways to give it's support to an honest, well
made product, the value and service of which
have been proven in actual performance.
Their power, their easy riding features,
their freedom from trouble have made Stude-
baker cars leaders in every part of the coun-
try where automobiles are subjected to
the hardest use.
The most recent proof of their durability
is the performance of two Studebaker cars
taken directly from a dealers stock on the
trip of the San Francisco AID Club to the re-
cent st. Louis convention.
Both these Studebaker cars came over the
snow filled passes of the Rocky mountains,

Further evidence of Studebaker dependa-
bility is shown by the popularity of Stude-
baker cars in California, where people test
and prove their cars by continuous service
every day in the year and where there are
more Studebakers registered than any car
selling at over $500.
In Detroit where 800 of all cars are made
where thousands of people are directly con-
nected with the industry, where they know
the materials and workmanship that go into
cars and the organizations behind them there
are more Studebakers registered than any
other car selling at over $500.
The foregoing is proof that people who
know cars from service rendered and people
best equipped to judge automobile values pre-
fer Studebakers.
There could be no better guide than this
for you in purchasing your car.
More than 100000 Studebaker cars in every
part of the world have made good in the
hands of their owners-as yours will make
good for you.

Paresis Ends Life of Man
Charged With Killing
Mrs. Kate Adams
Once Sentenced to Die
Went Insane After His Play
Was Produced in
1918

Roland 3. Molineuy, who lived IN the
death house at Sing Sing twenty months
before he was finally acquitted. died OF
paresis yesterday in Kings Park State
Hospital, Long Island. He had been
there since September I, 1914.
The charge of murder BY poisoning,
which was lodged against Molineux,
after the death Of Mrs. Kate Adams,
December 2s. 1898, resulted in one OF
the most sensational trials New YORK
has seen. II was alleged that the poi
son which caused Mrs. Adams's death
had been sent by Molineux az Christ
mas present to Harry Cornish, fellow
member Of the Knickerbocker Athletic
Club. Henry Crosman Barnet, an
other member Of the club and rival
of Moineux's for the hand OF MISS
Blanche Chesebrough. had died under
similar circumstances.
Before his trial took place Molineux
married Miss Chesebrough.' He was
convicted of murder in the FIRST de-
gree in Recorder COTS court, but at
last obtained new trial which result
ed in acquittal That was in November,
1902. Shortly sfterward his wife OBJ
tanned divorce.
Molineux was the SON Of the late
General T.. L. Molineux, OF Brooklyn,
and was nfty-four years old. His
father lived to see him acquitted and
also TO see him committed to the ssy-
lum, a nervous wreck.
The nervous attack was due in part
20 the illness of Molineux's mother
and in part TO overwork on play and
on chemical experiments. The play,
1.-THE Man Inside" was produced by
David Belasco in 1913. Soon after
ward, November 7, 1918. Molineux
married Miss Margaret Connell. q play
broker who had helped him with the
production. :,
Less than ten days after the we'd
ding. Molineuy, on the advice OF ply
sicians. sought admission TO Muldoon's
sanatorium. In this he failed, but not
long afterward ne was admitted to
health farm on Long Island. He es-
capped from that resort and in Septem-
Der. 1914, was locked up in Babylon
after a wild outbreak in that town
His commitment TO the insane asylum
followed.
