knew the cosey cabaret presided over by
August Koehler, n skilled chef and res
taurateur. The fame OF this caterer tc
travelling bon vivants spread across the
ocean, but the real story of why Koehler
came to New York probably never would
have been told had not he felt 1t neces-
sary to institute a suit against August
Luchow. a restaurant keeper at los 70
1l2 East Fourteenth street.
In addition to asking for 100000 for
his share in LuchVw's business koehler
reveals romance in which his present

marry my sister. sell out your business
In Europe, move to New York and help

you will receive 20 per cent, and in the
event OF dissolution of the partnership
or sale Of the business the proceeds will
be evenly divided. l will contribute all
my goods and stock in trade TO the part

the business prospored, he says. there

Luchow took exclusive possession.

worth 100000 and that it's annual net
profits are upward OF $4,000. He de-
mands a receivership, dissolution OF part

the city yesterday. He said there was
considerable sentiment in the middle
West for Major-Gen. Leonard Wood for
the Republican nomination for President
In 1920. Gov. Burnquist was one Of the
strongest advocates of Col. Roosevelt for
1920. but since the death OF the Colon el
has not committed himself to any candi-
date. Mr.. Lindqu!st has been sounding
sentiment in the East. He goes from
here to New England.
The Republican party is in good
shape In Minnesota" said Mr.. Lindquist.
After hard fight against the Non-Par-
usan League and other SociaNstic ele-
ments Gov. Burnquist was reelected for
another two year term last fall. Many
or the leading members OF the Demo-
cratic party in our state have Joined
with the Republicans because of the en-
enlargement that the Administration IN
Washington has given the various groups
that represent the spirit of unrest Not
only has the Administration done thls
but II actually has aided these grouns In
many ways. There can be no mIstakinp
tn efeeling Of the people OF Minnesota

We have had so much trouble with the

similar organizations"
Some time ago when the I W W

O'DONNELL HOWLS

Self Confessed "Slayer' of
Riddell Girl Prays, Then
Tries to DisrObe.

The behavior yesterday Of Patrick

| murdered Mary Riddell near her home
in Richmond Hill Wednesday night
made more uncertain than ever the value
OF the confession which he swore to on
| Saturday and supplemented by a
graphic description OF the crime at the
spot where II was committed.
No specialist in mental diseases has
examined O'Donnell yet, but the police
and hospital physicians who have treated
him pronounce him the most extraordl-
nary psychological enigma they have
ever seen. One medical man after an
other has been called to attend him ever
since he visited the scene of the murder
on Saturday, and last night he was un-
der the care Of two. in a state OF utter
collapse. in the Queens county jail at

Miller adjourned his case until all other
court business had been disposed OF. but
as soon as O'Donnell was brought back
in court he fell on his knees and began
praying. so he was sent to the Queens
county Jail. and there District Attorney
OLeary saw him.
Mr.. O'Leary will go before the County
Court to-day and ask that the man be
committed 20 a hospital for examlna-
ton as to his sanity. Mr.. -OLeary was
able to learn nothing from O'Donnell
yesterday. Zach time he was questioned
the prisoner went into a paroXysm and
last night was in a condition of COM
plete exhaustion.
Meantime the Queens authorities have
found several minor discrepancies in his
story ard the alibi set up for hin, by
his wife last Saturday has been
sire ngthened by the statements Of
half dozen reputable Witnesses They
are all employees of the Waterman pen
factory where O'Donnell was a sweeper
and window cleaner. and they all say lie
was at the factory when Miss Riddel
was killed. However none of these VII

Gated by O'Donnell which Is not known
