WOMAN BROODS AS
|POLICE KEEP DOGS
INDOORS SUNDAY
Mrs. Ashley. Measured by Po-
lice, Swears Revenge for
Her Arrest.

The beautiful Indian summer day
only lent sadness and worry to Mrs.
Mildred Ashley of New York City
who was arrested Friday night with
three valuable English bull dogs
upon a state warrant sworn out by
DR.. William Grimes of Hawthorne,
N. ]. \
y All alone in her room in the ma
irons ward at Central police sta
ton, Mrs. Ashley looked 4ongingly
out window, brooding over her
plight She made request to take
the dogs out for an airing.
Late Saturday afternoon police
took her Bertillon measurements,
for she is charged with the offenses
of grand larceny and receiving
stolen property.
She came to Omaha on September
2S with bevy of pedigreed dogs to
escape the forceful attention of DR..
Grimes, she said, and to get away
from his seven children. Mrs. Ash
ley had been the doctors housekeep-
,er for several months, she said. Her
hobby is dogs. The three English
bulls which were taken to the police
station with her are valued at $780,
600, according to the state warrant
against Mrs. Ashley.
While Bertillon officers were TAX
ing her measurements Mrs. Ashley
said: This is the old geezer's re-
venge. But I'll make him pay for
it. He had plenty of children, all
right, and l would have married
him if l liked him. l left. him be-
cause he had threatened my life.
When l told him I was going away
he said: There's another man in
this and if l find it out it'll be a
bullet for you and him.
81 thought it was about time to
leave. But I'm going back to get
square with him."
Mrs. Ashley appeared much wor-
lied about the welfare of her dogs
and threatened police with lawsuits
if any OF them should die.

Profiteers Called
"Meanest Of Thieves "
By Baptist Parson

New York, Nov. baptist
churches throughout the country
were urged to spurn money offered
ty profteers, 'the meanest kind OF
thieves" in a statement issued by
Rev. DR.. Samuel Zane Batten, sec
retary of social service education
for the American Baptist Publica-
ton society.
Every Baptist church should
know whether any of its members
are engaged in this nefarious busi-
ness of profteering," said DR.. Bat
ten. "The church should refuse to
touch the dirty money Of these peo-
pie. No self-respecting church
would tolerate in its fellowship a
person known to be guilty of high
way robbery or horse stealing. and
the sin of profiteering is meaner,
blacker and more sinful than either
of these. The church must make the
will Of God very plain on this sub
|ject" s

LIGHTNING PRINTS
TREE ON BODY OF
LONDONER KILLED
Medical Man Explains How
Etching Came on Skin
of Dead Man.

London, Nov. IA medical CORE
spondent of the Mail writes:
The death by lightning of MAJ
N North London during the storm
was the subject of interesting find
ings at the inquest. Medical evil
dence stated that the body was
marked with the imprint of a tree,
apparently the one under which the
man was sheltering, and the coroner
commented on the extraordinary ma
ture of the case.
These treelike authorizations are
not so uncommon in cases of death
by lightning, and their explanation
is not so complicated as might be
imagined.
Nevertheless, the extraordinary ap-
rcarance produced is one of extreme
interest not only to the medical pro-
fession but also to the general pub
lie, and when such cases occur there
is always much speculation as to
their causation.
The markings on the skin are red
dish brown in color, and indeed re-
semble Photographic imprints OF
trees or shrubs. But these imprints
are not photographs produced by
the electric current, as once was
thought.
The real explanation probably is
that very weak current is subdI-
vided by the resistance of the tissues
causing the rupture of many super
fetal capillaries, or small blood yes
sells, thus giving the "tree-like arbor-
ization."
Lightning plays other very
strange tricks. A girl was once
crossing a meadow during a thund-
erstorm and was struck by lightning
and although every shred OF clothing
was torn from her, she herself mere
ly experienced slight giddiness.

SEND DOGS TO
RAT KILLING SCHOOL.

Paris, Nov. 2,-Much barking and
some bowling betrays~the Partisan
ratodrome, says the Paris Daily
Mail. Fox terriers take their turn
in the high circular cage in which
they learn to catch and kill the
fearsome sewer rat.
Any afternoon you may see them
at their work if you have the nerve
to look on, for the dog by no means
has it all his own way with his first
iats.
1t is quite costly school for the
dog owner. The show pupil, tiny
fox teHier, is said to kill the crea-
lures as fast as they can be put
into the cage. Thirty per minute
is the record established by a bull
dog with an imposing pedigree and
lower lip.
