Man Who Declares
He Killed Riddell
Girl Sings in Court
O'Donnell May Be Put in
Observation Ward; Wom-
an Identifies Him, but Po-
lice Doubt He Is Guilty

Patrick O'Donnell, the demented man
VINO insists that he was the murderer
of Mary Elizabeth Riddell, whose body
was found in vacant lot in Glen
Morris, Queens, last Thursday morn
ing, probably will be committed to the
observation ward of Kings County Hos
pital to-day. District Attorney O'Leary
announced his determination to ask for
a commitment following an unsuccess-
full attempt to arraign the man in ia
maica court yesterday.
O'Donnell. when taken into court,
screamed and sang at the top of his
lungs and Immediately began to un-
dress himself. He was stripped to the
waist when they got him from the
room and into the prison pen. Later
he had another fit while being taken to
the Long Island City Jail in a prison
van.
Before the man was arragned in
court Mrs. Mary Delassweven, a neigh
Dor of the Riddells, identified him in
the Richmond Hill police station as the
man whom she had seen lettering about
Glen Morris twice before the murder
occurred
Despite this identification. the police
and District Attorney O'Leary arc bv
no means certain that O'Donncll is the
murderer. Assistant District Attorney

that O'Donnell had clapped his hand

Grand Jury May
Fix Mime. Lebaudy's
Fate Tomorrow
Presentment Expected Soon
After Adjournment, Set
for Late i'm Day; Few Wit
nesses Yet To Be Heard
BY BRIGGS

MlNEOLA, L. L.. Jan 19.-The Nassau
County Grand Jury has virtually con-
cluded its investigation of the shooting
of jacques Lebaudy, the eccentric mill
lona're killed at Wcstbury by his
wife, Nine. Marie A justine Lebaudy.
With the addition of testimony from a
lew persons, who were subpnnad for
examination on Tuesday, the entire
summing up of the facts will be ready.
District Attorney Charles r. Weeks
SAID he wanted every one who could give
first hand information on the tragedy
TO be brought before the grand Jury.
With the exception Of the testimony of
witnesses who were found in the last
three days all available data are now
in the hands of the jurymen.
The fate of Nine. Lcbaudv NAV be
known Immediately after the grand
Jury adJourns, which will be late Tues
Gay. and there is a possibility that the
presentmont in her case will be rushed
through.
Sentiment in Her Favor
The sentiment is still overwhelm-
ingly in the widows favor. and as the
tales of tho strange cruelties and &C.
ccntrcities Of Jacques Lebaudy are
told, the convection grows that the wife
will be released on grounds of iustjf
able homicide.
Nine. Lebaudy kept up her spirits to-
day by reading the scores of letters
which have come in from friends and
persons unknowl to her.
One of these letters came from a
waiter in the Hotel McAlpin, who told
how the man had called a messenger
boy into the dining room and made the
frightened youth read aloud the whole
bill of fare.
Important Witness Missing
The Rev. DR.. William +. McGinnis
called at the jail to-day and brought
the pretty fourteen year-old daughter.
Jacqueline. Mrs. Emily Ladenburg. of
WestburY, was another caller. Later
Dr.. Joseph A. Kcrrigan made profes-
sional visit.
Harry W. Moore, counsel for Nine
Lebaudy, has appealed to the news
papers to find the man who went to
Louis Defarrari in Wsstbury a few
rights ago and told him Lebaudy had
offered hiro $500 to shoot couple of
dogs. by which he referred to his wife
and child. District Attorney Weeks de-
clared that the mans testimony would
be valuable since several persons have
shown that Lebaudy tried by offers and
bribcs to have his wife and daughter
disposed OF.

Abundant Milk Supply
New Is Assured CITY

New York City will receive more
milk tomorrow than eveS before in its
history. I. Elkins Nathans, secretary
of the New York Milk Conferences
Board, said yesterday. With the strike
ended, thousands of farmers upstate
will be rcsuming shipments as rapidly
as milk tins can be sent to them. In
addition, the new sources of milk sup
ply, opened by distributors during the
strike, will continue to send their
product to the city.
To-day's supply, it is believed, will be
in the ncighborhood OF the usual daily
income OF 10000 quarts. Much more
than this viii reach the city tomorrow
it is believed.
SO real is the c;ty's danger of being
engulfed in a tidal wave OF milk that
Mr.. Nathans has been forced to tele
graph numerous producers urging them
to withhold their shipments for the
present. BY the terms of the agree
ment which settled the strike, distribu-
tiers are not compelled to accept milk
from the farmers until January Go.

Police Think Philhower
Had Quarrel With Guests
No Clew Found to Identity of
Curio Collectors
SLAYER

Inquiry yesterday into the death of
Winfield S. Philhower, whose body,
sabred with n curio from his own wall,
was found Saturday in his apartment
at 14S East Thirtieth Street, furnished
no clcw to the murdcrer's identity, po-
lice said yesterday.
No one has been found who heard
a scuffle in the apartment wkere the
crime was committed. No one has been
found who saw any ore enter or leave
the dead mans rooms Friday evening
or Saturday. Several acquaintances Of
the old man have been examined, but
have not been able to give information
of value in the hunt.
A quarrel between Phlhower and
some guest is the theory deemed most
plausible by the police. A number Of
valuahles are missing from the room,
but whether the dead man had placed
them in safe deposit vault or whether
the murderer took them has not been
determined. Philhower was termed an
eccentric and is said to have been fond
Of showing his curio collection to
strangers. He apparently led an ex-
emplary life.

Jewish Nation Is Opposed

The jewish Labor Congress, in ses-
sion yesterday, placed its members on
record as not desiring the establish
ment of jewish government in Pales-
tine. Until the Jewish population in
Palestine is greater than that of any
other race no. effort on the part OF the
American Jewish laborers to found a
Jewish state is to be made.
Determination against Jews. both in
this country and in Europe. was the
topic Of much discussion during yes
terday's session. Resolution protest
ing against tho pogroms IN the Slav
states, restriction Of immi grafton in
this country and alleged discrimination
by government employment bureaus
against Jews. were adopted. A com
mittce of three was instructed to 60
to Washington to urge that no further

NEW WEST INDIAN INDUSTRY
Exports Of Divi-Divi, Product Of Tree
of That Region, Will Grow Now
War Is Ended.

An interesting product in which
Curacao, the important port of the
Dutch West Indies, deals is divi-divi,
which is the trade name for the curved
peas of small tree with a character
istic winding form, indigenous to
northern South America, Mexico and
a few Of the Netherland Antilles, says
the American magazine. The plant
ing is done by sowing only, and the
chief dispensers of the seed were for
a long time the goats. The dried peas
are very much sought after in Amer
lea and Europe because of the high
percentage of tannin they contain
varying from 80 to so per cent. Gu
racao exported $46,352 worth of divi-
divi in 1916; $28,7S9 worth in 1917.
Aloes, another product of the col
Ony, is exported from Curacao, but
is cultivated chiefly in the island
Aruba, which is one of the six COM
posing the colony. The gathering of
the aloe leaves takes place during the
dry season, after part of the mOfs-
ture they contain has been allowed to
escape They are cut and the brown
ish yellow, ill-smelling sap they con.
tain is intercepted as it leaks out.
Then the sap is placed in an oven to
evaporate it's moisture, and the resi-
due is packed for shipment either in
calabash shells or in specially pre-
pared boxes. New York takes most
Of Curacao's aloe resin. 1t Is chiefly
used in the preparation of dyes and
medicines, and is one of the most
generally prescribed purgatives in
veterinary practice.
In 1916 Curacao exported $114,3S5
worth of aloes, $40, ,43O worth in 1917.

FELT HER EXALTED POSITION
Empress Theodora, Though Not Born
70 the Purple, Was Every Inch
Royal Ruler.

The name Theodore has been borne
by more than one lady of distinction
in Rome and In the Orient. The most
picturesque Of the group was the En-
press Theodore, wife of Justinian,
Byzantine emperor, who lived fourteen
centuries ago. She was the daughter
of the keeper of wild beasts and was
an actress In pantomime, Giving
movies" one might call the perform
ances, for without speaking word
she could make her audience hold it's
sides with laughter. But as soon as
she became empress 1t was as ii the
blood of all the Caesars cOursed
through her veins, for none was more
arrogant than this housekeeping
daughter of the people. Here is one of
her orders to messenger: IF you fail
in the execution of my commands /
swear by Him that liveth forever that
your skin shall be f1ayed~ from your
body" And the messenger knew that
she meant every word of it.
One may wonderful some of the mon
archs who recently have faded from
their thrones would have gone so read
lily If a Theodore had been present.
There was an insurrectiOn in Constan-
tinople and Justinian and the royal
household were about to escape 'on
vessels waiting at the stairs of the
palace gardens, communicating with
the sea. Then spoke Theodore: IF
fight were the only means of safety l
should yet disdain to fly. Death is
the condition of our birth, but they
who have reigned should never survive
the loss of dignity and dominion. l
implore heaven that / may never be
seen, not a day, without my diadem
and purple" So she restored the
waning courage of Justinian and his
generals, and the day was saved.
