Since the tragedy Hatfield has

The murder started riots which
ended only with the death of seven

Evidence presented before the

claimed that he was appointed the

Mayor Testerman largely because
of the fear his name inspired among

Philadelphia, July 2S.-Somewhere
on the surface of the Atlantic be-
tween the Delaware and Chesapeake
capes a dangerous mine is drifting,
a menace to coastwise and foreign
shipping. The mine was planted in
the coast waters by German subma-
rines on the occasion of their sur
prise visit in 1918.
The. vagabond mine. similar to the
one which sank the Standard Oil
tanker Herbert L. Pratt, near the
Delaware capes in June, 1918, is
causing seagoing men to shiver in
their boots day and night while
navigating within thirty miles of
the coast between Norfolk and At
lantic City. Double watches are
being maintained day and night by
men using powerful glasses en-
deavoring to catch a glimpse of the
death instrument.
The photographic office in this
city has sent to ships sailing from
this port a warning that the mine
was sighted two days ago in lati-

ad infinitum is a WEAKNESS Of the

Stoddard, who told Magistrate
O.NeiII today that her husband was
kissing her to death slowly and
surely.
Since her husband came back
from the battlefelds of France he
has showered her with fervid kisses
at the rate of several hundred a.
day, Mrs. Stoddard says. Convinced
that such ardent affection meant in
sanity, she had him hailed before
the Adams Street Court for an ex-,
animation.
Last Sunday after an OSCILLATION
seance lasting from breakfast time
to high noon. Stoddard told his wife
to smile. Her poor little mouth
was all warped from kissing and
she couldn't make II curl up. at the
corners at all. Then he threatened
her with the family carving knife
and she forced herself to master a
tiny. sickIy imitation of a smile.
Detailed counts of osculation were
cited against Stoddard. He kissed
his wife 800 times on Monday and
$50 times on Sunday. Fearing to
lose time he did not conhne his

her in church, on the street and in

with pan-Islamism which has been

There is an intangible something
which, however. amounts to con-

when Germany must definitely an

your face to the East or to the
west?"
For a time. at least. the conse-
Quences will be grave, whatever
is the answer.
The Russo-Polish armistice has
failed TO relieve the situation in
the eyes Of allied, neutral and Ger
man diplomats alike, but more es-
pecially in the minds of the bank
ers. There is the utmost pessimism
expressed in banking, financial and
industrial circles. with the banks
advising big business men to hold
of from all undertakings until they
can see the future more clearly.
Banks See Dark Time.
The banks, especially. would seem
to have some information which
they are not divulging, which makes
them see dark times ahead. A
world revolution. or at least Eu-
ropean revolution, is seen by them
to have moved many leagues near
er through the Bolsheyik victory
in Poland.
Not a few are deep in pessimism
because they see signs Of Germany
becoming the battle-ground for a
bloody war between the onward
marching Bolshevik movement and
the last desperate efforts of the
Western powers to hold it back be-

2l ARRESTS IN DAY
MADE BY CYCLE COP

Twenty-one arrests in day is
the record hung up by Motorcycle
Policeman w. d. Vaughn, of the
Fourth precinct. In each case
Vaughn secured a technical verdict,
as none of the twenty-one cared to
face him in court
A total of s66 in forfeited col
laterals was added to the police
benefit fund as a result of the po-
liceman's wariness. Among viola
tions of the law which this eagle
eyed copper noted were those Of
failing to properly signal for a
turn; having dirty tags; cutting
corners and failing to exhibit an
operators permit.
Most of the arrests were made in
southwest Washington, to which
section Vaughn has been restricted
since the issuance of an order from
Major Gessford prohibiting him
from roaming the city.
