Desk Sergeant Arnold and me.,
at police headquarters in Council

answered 4 continuous stream oi
queries: rs it true they've got thu

The big crop of rumors was start
ed by the story Friday afternoos
that the assailant of Miss Wander

county Jail, or had been found dead
in q boxcar, or vacant barn, Of
desperately wounded, and was be-
ing treated by a physician who had
notified the police.
May Not Be Negro.
There is little doubt that the maj
is seriously wounded, and probabl,
will be discovered. There is also
good reason for doubling that he i,
a negro. A man was found yester.
day who says he encountered him .
few minutes before the assault upon
Miss Held. He was then little more
than 4 block away from 908 Third
street, the home of Archie Epper-
son. before whose home the attack
was made.
"He was not = negro" said
the man. He was 4 white man
grimy with grease or coal dust and,
when saw him, was walking rap
idly, as if returning from his work.
He wore the long light-colored rain
coat, and I noticed that he was
powerful man, six feet tall. with
square shoulders. It was raining
hard, but took a good look at him.
He was going in the direction Of the
point where Miss Held was At

Committed Other Attaeks
There is now some real reason
for believing that the man sought is
the author of the assault upon Miss
Josephine Volmer in her room in
the Hogan house on Fourth street.
and also the assailant of other wom-
en- in that vicinity. The general de-
scription given by Miss Volmer fits
the fiend who made the attacks
Wednesday night. The brutal ma
ture Of his attack upon the sleeping
woman was duplicated in the rough
usage suffered by Miss Held. whose
neck was almost broken by his
powerful grasp. He is believed to
be a degenerate we'll acquainted in

Hillary, an English sailor, finds a
fairy lagoon in the tropical jungle,
on which appears a beautiful white
girl in her canoe. Gabrielle fascin-
ates yourg Hillary; he wins her
heart at the same time that a faint
strain of native blood links her fate
with that of a handsome native ra-

AMENDMENTS TO
CHURCH RITES
May Be ADOPTED
Opposition by Conservative
EpiscopaIians Not Expected
to Prevent Passage of
Proposed Changes.

Detroit, Mich, Oct. l0,-Despite
opposition of the, conservatives OF
the Protestant Episcopal church OF
America, the trienial general con-
vention of which is meeting here,
the majority of the amendments re-
vising the morning and evening
services will be adopted in the con-
vention. il was indicated today.
Voting on the amendments began
this morning in the house of depu-
ties, the first half dozen proposed
being adopted almost unanimously.
The general tendency of these
amendments is to give more latitude
in the use of the prayer book and
to permit the use OF shortened
service.
Final action will be given on the
amendments first presented at the
last general convention and both
houses must concur to make them
operative However, the complete
ly revised prayer book cannot be-
come operative until after the next
general convention because many OF
the proposed changes will be con-
sdered in this convention for the
first time. These include the pro-
posed revision of the marriage and
burial services and the communion
service.
The house of bishops this morn
ing further considered revision of
the canons on ordination.
The report on the seamen's insti-
tute of America presented before
the convention this morning asks a
budget Of Sl,2l0.000 of the nation
wide campaign fund, for the next
three years for extending and es-
tablishing institutes, missions and
schools at Atlantic, Pacific and
Great Lakes ports.
The house of bishops combined
the missionary districts of Oklaho-
ma and eastern Oklahoma under.
Bishop Theodore P. Thurston of the
latter, and transferred Bishop Frank
Touret of western Colorado to the
missionary district of Idaho. Con-
currence of the house OF deputies is
necessary to make these changes eft
tective.

THE INVADERS SON. BY william An

Thrilling adventures of war, poll

INSCRIPTIONS schemer, Ruth, his
wife, a chronic worrier, charming
young Helen and Oscar, whom his

lives, we have the story of what is
happening in thousands of homes.

vivid realities. The book pulsates
with the satirical analysis of the fol-

good humor. The book is more than
a novel-it is a human document.

DETRQ|T'S BAR
ASSN TAKES UP
TENANTS FIGHT
Votes to Fight "Rent Profit
eering' Free for Poor Peo-
pIe-:An Example for
Others.

The fact that rent profteering is
general over the country, and that
it is everywhere regarded by sound
business men as uniustihable, un-
warranted by conditions, and a
mere hysteria of the "get-rich-
quick description, is shown by the
action of the Detroit Bar associa-
ton. which at a recent meeting
passed resolutions to extend legal
aid to any tenant reporting attempts
on the part of the landlord to in
crease rents.
The action of the Detroit asso-
citation is all the more significant
from the fact that the vote was
unanimous, and went through with
"whoop" Immediately that the sug-
gestion was made and the facts in
the situation presented by one Of
the members. In addition, it was
decided to extend this aid without
charge to any tenant, even the lead
ing and wealthiest corporation law
yers in the association voluntarily
pledging that their services would
be cheerfully extended upon call by
any tenant or the association.
Example for Others.
The action of the Detroit associa-
ton is an example that we'll could
be followed by others throughout
the country, as it is only through
such voluntary and free assistance
that general relief can be had,
large number OF tenants pot only
being without funds to prosecute
and maintain actions in defense of
their rights, but being ignorant of
such rights in most cases, and in
others being afraid to take action
single-handed.
Account of Meeting.
An account of the meeting as con-
tanned in dispatches shows the quick
recognition of unjust conditions ex-
tended by the bar association. The
account says:
Tenants facing unjust eviction
need not submit to it without legal
battle because they cannot afford to
pay an attorneys fee. If they have
a just cause for complaint, they can
have the best legal services in De
troit as a result of the decision of
the Detroit Bar association to aid
all such clients without charge.
Lawyers in Sympathy.
"Inasmuch as Corporation Coun-
sci Clarence E. Wilcox only made
the suggestion regarding free legal
aid for dispossessed tenants Friday
afternoon, the action of the Detroit
Bar association was not only quick.
but indicates that the lawyers are
in sympathy with the victims of
specializing landlords. Mr.. Walters:
in his circular letter to members OF
the association, also urges that they
refuse to represent landlords and
property owners whose cases are
unjust.
According to Mr.. Wilcox, the
majority of renters threatened with
eviction unless they pay rents way
above their means, are poor persons
who cannot hire legal aid. With
the bar association standing back
Of them, these persons need no
longer hesitate about fighting their
cases to the limit, but can go into
court and demand jury trial"

SENATORS VIEW
CONDITIONS IN
STEEL ST R|KE
Committee Enters Homes and
Interviews Women as
Well as Strikers
and Foremen.

Pittsburgh, Oct. 10.-Senators in
vestigating the steel strike put in a
busy day in the Pittsburgh district
and viewed everything from the in
candescent metal in rolling mills to
the culinary equipment in the
homes of mill workers. They dis
cussed strike conditions with plant
superintendent and held informal
caucuses with strikers in the back
streets of Homestead and Clarion.
Chairplan Kenyon said they want
ed to be sure and hear both sides
and volunteer and voluble interpret
ers made it easy for the foreign
born elements among the strikers
to get heard.
Late for Fracas.
At Homestead, just before the
party arrived, there was an exchange
of shots between strikers and an
armed workman, but the committee
did not get up to the front in time
to see anything of the fracas.
In the mills of the Carnegie COM
pany visited at Duquesne and
Homestead, officials would concede
that only a small number of men
were on strike. At Charlton. how
ever, the senator's were told that
1900 men out of 5000 normally en-
ployed remained out. Strikers in
the street meetings with the sena-
tors denied these claims and in
polygot fashion asserted that many
thousands of men were missing from
the scene of usual duties.
Visit Homes Singly.
Chairman Kenyon at Home
broke his party up into details OF
one, which resulted in each sena-
tor gathering crowd running up
into hundreds at almost every front
porch where he stopped. Senator
Sterling of South Dakota. with
cluster of youngsters hanging on his
coat-tail. was taken into two or three
houses in one block, while one man
acting as usher would observe at
each door: Here's the way some
more of Judge Gary's high-paid help
has to live"
Senator Kenyon called in a ste
nographer to take down some state
ments made by Mrs. Joseph Pentedi.
wife of a husky Hungarian mill fore
man, who had refused to strike.
She had been visited. she explained,
by committee of strikers and
urged to get her husband to stay
away from work. Pentedi. rather
shamefacedly, said that he had
done so for a couple of days "be-
cause | was afraid and she was
afraid"
Are Not Citizens.
At Clarion some hundreds of
strikers crowded around the sena-
torial party, under leadership of P.
H. Grogan, secretary of a local
strike committee. There was some
wonderment among the committee
when Slavs still unable to speak
English gave their names as 90
seph Powell" and James Smith"
but the senators finally accepted the
names as an indication of first step
taken toward AUGMENTATION.
What they wanted, the strikers ex-
planned, were fewer hours Of work
and more wages. They all held up
their hands when Senator Kenyon
asked who had contributed to Red
Cross and Liberty bond funds dur
ing the war. but when requested to
give the same sign to indicate pos
session of naturalization papers
there was a noticeable falling off.
