FELT AT EASE
AFTER EACH KILLING.

LOS ANGELES, May 1O.-"Blue-
beard" HURT does not know his right
full name thinks he was born in Ten
nessee, where he lived in an orphan
age until he was 10 years old. Was
taken to farm near Pittsburg, Kan,
by man named Harper When he
was about Is, he says, an anvil fell
on his head while he was working in
blacksmith shop. Shortly after
ward, he became a wanderer.
In his fragmentary confession,
HURT says he killed women for the
sheer JOY of the act. After it was
done, | just seemed at ease" he said.
He told officers he carried bits of
jewelry as mementoes and delighted
in gloating over the souvenirs of his
crimes.
HURT probably will escape the
death penalty for his crimes. His
confessions were obtained with the
understanding that the states at
torney in Los Angeles would ask
clemency for him.
Prior to the finding of of Miss De-
loney's body in California, the body
of Betty Prior was found in the state
of Washington. HURT confesses to
killing her on June 8, 1919. One
day later the act restoring capital
punishment in the state became eff
fective. Therefore, if tried in
Washington, life Imprisonment is
held to be the extreme punishment
HURT could receive.
There is sharp competition between
the two states for the privilege of
furnishing "Bluebeard." Washington
is demanding extradition. Califor-
MIA, since the finding OF Miss De-
loney's body, will hasten Hurts
trial and commitment to prison for
life, it is believed.

sons and daughters OF the Stars and
Stripes residing at the far corners of
the earth.
These people compose the lnsulsr
and Foreign Division Of the parent or
ganlzatlon, generally known us the
Fourteenth" Division, which has
Jurisdiction of all territory outside
the country proper; that Is, Alaska,
Porto Rico, Hawaii, Virgin Islands, the
Philippines. Guam. and even the is
land of zap. which came under our
flag as q result Of the world war. For
the wear 1920 this division reported
S0,SOS paid up members.
The main object OF this division is
to give our citizens everywhere the op-
pOrtunity 10 participate in the work
OF the organization which stands for
the best national ideals. Americans
IN far places intensely loyal and pa
triOtlc. treasul" their membership in
the Red Cross as the outward eX.
preston Of their citizenship. 1t Is an
other tie to the homeland and to
each other. There arc chapters Of
this division in Argentine. Bolivia,

During the war these scattered
members of the Red Cross contrib
uted millions in money, and millions
Of dollars worth of necessary articles
for the men in service, and sent many
doctors and nurses to France. At the
same time they carried on an excel
lent Home Service in their respective
communities for the families Of those
who had gone TO war, and in some re-
glons gave large sums of money and
lmmeasurablc personal service to the
relief Of disaster and disease victims.
The division is now establishing
service clubs in foreign ports for the
benefit of sailors In the American Mer-
chant Marine, making plans TO aid
Americans in trouble in foreign lands
and completing arrangements for CIV
ing immediate adequate relief in case
Of disaster.
1t is the Fourteenth Divisions part

the Red Cross in mental cases in iden-
flying those who have appeared in
state hospitals for the insane, and help
