Surely there is more to be done

made fit by education, are being
introduced by Universities and
Colleges, such as Harvard, Co.

Yale, Bryn Mawr, Ogontz School,

These young lives will feed
the world with new life by high
enthusiasms and generous ar
dor which will overbalance
their inexperience.
1t is not easy for the old
leaders in banking, railroading
or commerce to take on new
ideas. Those who offer sug-

it is much the same as ringing

YONKERS, June 27.-Lightning
striking the studio building of the
Unexcelled Film Laboratories and Stu
dios Company, Ine., at 120 School

destroyed the building. The loss is
estimated at $25O,OO0.
In a stone and steel vault of the

Jay Boyd Allan may be Hamby's real
name. He has consistently refused to
say what it is.
The prisoner spoke to Mr.. McCaffry
for few moments after the examina-
tion. He thanked the lawyer for his
efforts to give him every protection af-
forded by the law and requested that
no appeal be made.
Five deputy sheriffs and Sheriff Dan
iel J. Griffen escorted Handy by auto
mobile to the Grand Central Terminal.
Sheriff Griffen said that at Third Ave-
nue. and Eighth Street an automobile
containing seven rough: looking men
drew alongside the Sheriff's car. He
said he quickly ordered his machine
into side street. The men looked like
gunner, he reported.
Handcuffed to two deputies, Handy
set out for prison. He chatted easily
and pleasantly on the train, discussing
allenists among other things. They
are very entertaining, he thought. At
the prison he refused to give the
name of relative or friend to be mott
tied IN case of "illness or DEATH" He
was bathed and shaved, given the
deathhouse clothes and the number
7o,2s2. After a supper of tea and a
swiss cheese sandwich, he was given

Suitcase, Opened After 3
Years in Mills House
No. 3, Shows Bones That,
Doctor Says, Mean Murder
Porter's Cruesome Find
Not Medical Students Work.
as First Suspected, Says
Coroner's P h y sician

When an employe of Mills Hotel
No. 8, at 161 West Thirty-sixth Street,
yesterday opened a battered leather
suit case which had lain in the storage
room for three and half years, he
found it to contain the skull and the
arm and leg bones of man. Police
Captain Charles H. Mckinney, of the
Third Inspection District, and Assist
ant Medical Examiner George Hohmann
believe the bones are those of murder
victim.
The suit case was wrapped in two
copies of "The New York Sum-" one of
September II, 1915, and the other of
date five days later. The checkroom
stamp on the bag indicated it had been
left at the hotel in November, 1915.
Stenciled on the suit case were the
initials Il. N. A." The bones bore evil
dence of having been subjected to
guicklime and this strengthens the
theory of murder. There were a few
strands of black hair and shreds of
skin remaining on the skull.
The case is clearly one of homicide"
said DR.. Hohmann. "The way some of
the bones are mutilated shows it could
not possibly be the work of a medical
student. The fact that the muscles are
stripped away from the bones in spots
and the way the bone IN one of the
hands has been compressed, clearly in
dicates violence"
The storage room was being cleared
of unclaimed luggage yesterday and
one of the employees opened the suit
case. When he Ioosened the clasp he
discovered objects wrapped in cotton
batting. chief of which was a human
skull. He lost no time in summoning
the hotel manager, who, in turn, noti-
fled the police of the West Thirtieth
Street Station.
The other cloth-wrapped parcels
contained bones of the thigh, leg. arm
and hands. The right hand had the
bones of the FIVE fingers intact, but
those of the left had been eaten away,
probably by lime
Captain Carey, of the Homicide Bu-
reau, said last night the bones seemed
to have been dissacted with a surgi-
cal saw

work on four teeth in the upper jaw

Handy Is Declared Sane;

Confessed and Condemned Murderer Easily Passes
Test of Alienists and Asks Lawyer to Make
No Further Effort; Still Conceals Identity

Gordon Fawcett Handy easily sur
mounted the two obstacles IN his way
to the electric chair yesterday, and is
to-day contentedly wearing the soft
shoes, black trousers and light shirt
of the men about to die at Sing Sing.
He was declared sane by two alien
lists after brief examination in the
morning, and later succeeded in per-
suading his counsel, Frank X. McCaf-
fry, to refrain from making an appeal.
Handy was in exceptional good hu-
NOR, even for him, as he departed for
Ossining. He will die in the electric
chair one month from to-day unless
ne suddenly reconsiders and asks for
a review of his case. He has smil-
lngly reiterated that he intends to die
as soon as possible. He smiled when
ne said he would shoot the two bank
tellers in the East Brooklyn Savings
Bank on December 13 last if they did
not hold up their hands, and he smiled
again when he was convicted and SEN
fenced to die for killing one of them.

standpoint of the law abiding citizen.

Dr.. MacCoy wanted to know if he had

mated that they ran up into the thou

the country.

Thugs Beat Jeweller,
Get $4,000 in Diamonds
Dealer Waylaid by Footpads at
Subway Entrance and
Dragged to Allevway

Harry Badian, a jeweller of 72
Bowery, was waylaid by two footpads
near the subway entrance at Broadway
and 103d Street early yesterday, se-
verely beaten and robbed of diamonds
valued at $5,447. The police did not
make he hold-up public. There have
been no arrests.
Badian lives in an apartment house
at 2O3 West 103d Street. He was re-
turning home yesterday morning with
the diamonds in a case in his pocket
and had just come up from the sub
way when he was struck over the head
with blackjack. A second highway
man pinioned his arms and the jeweller
was dragged into an apartment house
alleyway, where he was stripped of his
valuables.
Some time after the robbers ESCAPED
Patrolman Louis Reiger heard Badian's
means and assisted him to the Tooth

act. We cannot refrain from adding
that the mind of the defendant showed
