The Once Month Club of Morris
Park. an organization OF Morris Park
business men. announced yesterday that
1t would pay a reward of $500 for the ar
rest and conviction OF the. murderer OF
Miss Marie Riddell. whoA body was
found in a vacant lot near her Glen
Morris home a week ago.
Patrick O'Donnell whose confession of
the murder of Miss Riddell has puzzled
the police, was taken into Magistrate
Doyle's court in Jamaica yesterday but
at the request of District Attorney
O'Leary OF Queens the case was put over
raigned and entered no plea. District
Attorney O'Leary told the court that he
would require until Saturday to gather
further evidence in the case.
O'Donnell liz the thirty-year-old en-
ployee of tho Waterman Fountain Pen
Company who insisted TO the police that
he murdered the young stenographer. His
confession Is contradicted by testimony
from number of his fellow employees,
who insist that O'Donnell was at work
when the murder was committed.
When he appeared in court yesterday
O'Donnell exhibited every outward APP
pearance of having recovered from the
hysteria from which he suffered after his
confession. He was represented by Will
lam A. Dempsey, a Brooklyn attorney.
and was accompanied by his father.
Michael O'Donnell, and n sister. Miss
Margaret O'Donnell.
Previous to O'Donnell's appearance in
court several of the Waterman COM
pany's employees were examined by Dis
trict Attorney O'Leary and they are said
to have substantiated statements that
O'Donnell could not possibly have been
at the scene OF the crime when it was
committed.
Attorney Dempsey said that he ex-
pected no difficulty in proving that his
client had no connection with the crime.
District Attorney OLeary expects to be
able TO make some motion tomorrow for
the disposition OF O'Donnells case.

Shrill cries of womanly disapproval

made that in business affairs n man

SO the women are being replaced with

MINE SWEEPING
MOST DIFFICULT
American Navy Has Difficult Task
of Sweeping North Sea OF $4,000
Electrical MincS-Arc Exploded
by Electricity

LONDON, Sept. 1S.-The Ameri-
can navy is having tremendous
task in sweeping the North Sea of
the $4,000 electrical and highly
sensitive mines they planted there,
Explosion by electricity is the meth.
cd now employed. Some were sunk
very deep-as deep as a submarine
could go.
Each mine was fitted with nnten-
huge field was not only charged with
mines, but had also become mass
of sensitive feelers to explode them.
Should a submarine come in con-
tact with an antennae the mine at
short distance away at the end OF
the antennae would explode.
The problem has been to explode
the mines far enough away from the
sweeper to insure safety and also to
forestall the danger of the explo-
sion of a mine at safe distance caus.
ing another close to the ship going
of"
The vessels in sweeping use spe-
cial electric cables several hundred
yards long. Operation OF a system
of electric appliances prevents the
mines from exploding II the ship
strikes an antennae, but when the
electric wire touches the antennae It
blows the mine up at a safe distance
from the boat. Hundreds are being
destroyed by this method
Aside from the danger and tedi-
BUSINESS of the task, bad weather is
added to the hardships OF the Amer
lean sailors.
About rs vessels are employed,
the majority of them American. Sub
chasers help by rounding up drift
ing mines that have broken from
their moorings and sinking or ex-
ploding the mine by firing a shot
