MYSTERY DEATH
 OF RICH WOMAN
 ST|RS NEW YORK
Husband Held Once RecOm- mended by Senators Hard-
 ing and POmerene

Washington, Sept. 1O-Failure to recover the body of Mrs. Gertrude Viger kuehling and the discovery of several circumstances regarded by the police as worthy of investi- gation, today converted her hus- bands story of drowning while ca noeing with him on the Potomac riv- CT Wednesday night into one of mys. tery. Roy Harper Kuehling, the husband, is held by the police for investigation, and preparations have been made to drive two tugs up the river tomorrow in an effort to so stir up the waters that the body, if there, may be brought to the sur face.
 Interest has been added to the case by the discovery that Mrs. Kuer- ling, who was the divorced wife of George Osgood of Detroit, and one of the heirs to the million dollar estate of Elizabeth Chapelton of that city, recently had asked an attorney to file suit for divorce against her second husband. The first husband arrived in Washington today to as- sist in running out the many threads assigning as his motive the inter- ests of their three-year-old child.
 Say Canoe Overturned.
 Kuehling's story. given to the po- lice was that the canoe capsized in a bad stretch of water and in the darkness he lost all track of his wife wasting much of the time in which she might have been saved in fumb- ling at a fur coat under the capsiz- ed boat and which few minutes be- fore his wife, he said, had worn thrown over her shoulders.
 Kuehling's arrest occurred a few hours after at their home in Wood side, Maryland, suburb of Wash ington, on technical charge of de- sertion from the army. That charge was explained away by the records at the war department but he was held for investigation chiefly upon information obtained by the police that his wife recently contemplated divorcing him and that only few days ago she had been treated at a hospital for poisoning.
 Efforts of the police to find some one who had seen Kuehling and his wife together Wednesday night have failed, but have brought from the man from whom he rented the boat the statement that Kuehling was alone when he engaged it.
 Kuehling's record includes an ef- fort to obtain place in the secret service and there are on file at the headquarters of the service, two let ters recommending .him for. such work, one signed by Senator Pom- creme and the other by Senator Harding. Kuehling and Mrs. Os- good were married December 3O 1919, at Mount Clemens, Mich.

ARREST NOWL|NS MANN ACT CHARGE IN MUNICIPAL TRIAL Triangle Divided Into Two Parts by Federal
 Charges FINE HUBBY NO. 5
 DISTURBING PEACE Fourteen Y ear-Old Daughter is Taken to County Detention Home; Holding Couple
 For Marshals

The strange marital triangle talk, en in custody by deputy sheriffs, Thursday morning following a call to quell small riot at 17O5 East Fifth avenue was subdivided into two parts Friday morning with interference of Federal authorities.
 Husband Number Four and the Woman face serious charges and Husband Number Three is convinced he was tilted" after he had paid a fine of five dollars in municipal court for disturbing the peace.
 As Dewitt Nowlin, switchman, and his wife "Addie Payne" appeared in court to tell the judge the story of how J. H. Payne of Fort Worth, Texas, and rated as Husband Num- Der Three, entered the Nowlin home, Thursday and caused trouble, Deputy Sheriff McBurnett, Baldwin and Wick arrested the pair on infor- nation federal authorities held d warrant for them charging violation of the Mann act. The warrant had been issued at Fort Worth. United States marshals from Texas and Lit tie Rock, Ark, notified the Pine Bluff sheriff's office, Thursday night they wanted Nowlin and Mrs. Addie Payne.
 Dismiss Bigamy Charge.
 Judge Earl s. Wood of the muni. cipal court dismissed the charge of bigamy against Nowlin and issued a bench fugitive warrant for him and the woman he is said to have married in Little Rock last Satur- day. The judge fined MT. Payne five dollars and costs, finding him guilty of disturbing the peace on the occasion whent Thursday morning he went to the Nowlin residence and instigated trouble by demanding of his wife why she had not gone to Hot Springs for her health as she had told him she intended doing when more than week ago she kissed him goodbye at the railroad station in Fort Worth.
 Soon after Payne arrived, at the NOWlIu HoHe, 1HuISudy, CHe SWltcH- man came home and the argument ensued aroused the neighborhood to the extent officers from the sheriff's office were notified.
 A fourteen year old daughter of Mrs. PayneNowlin was taken in charge by officers and given over to the care of Miss Mamie Duncan, county matron, who placed the girl in the Jefferson county detention home.
 It also developed, Friday, accord ing to Deputy Sheriff McBurnett, that the woman had a fourth hus- band. On the occasion of her mar riage to Nowlin in Little Rock, last Saturday she gave the name, Addie Moore, saying Moore was her first husband, according to officers. Her daughter is by her first husband. Name of the second husband is not definitely known here.
 The pair are being held for the arrival of United States marshals who will take them to Texas to face charges of violating the Mann act.

MAC SWINEY HAS LONG WAY TO GO
 TO MAKE RECORD
Scientific Records Reveal Men Have Pasted 31 to 45
 Days

New York, Sept. 1O.-Search of scientific records here today reveal ed instances where persons have un- dergone voluntary lasts of from 31 to 45 days duration without apprecia- ble injurious effects. Some of the fasters were professionals" but many others volunteered to abstain from feeding as scientific sub jects, the records show.
 The longest officially authorized fast for scientific purposes, accord ing to Dr. Francis G. Benedict of the Carnegie Nutrition laboratory of Bos- ton, was undertaken by Succi, the York, starting November 6, 1890, and lasting 45 days. The man suffered no i'll effects the report said.
 The most famous American volun- teer was the late Henry s. Tanner, who first attracted notice in 1877 by voluntary ten day fast in Minneap- olis, Minn., in an effort to cure an ailment of the heart. So greatly was he benefited at the end of the tenth day that he continued the fast 42 days.
 Offers to Prove it.
 Because of the skepticism in med ical circles as to the genuiness of his feat, Dr. Tanner offered to re- peat the exploit. It was agreed to hold the test under the supervision of New York medical codllege. The fast began June 2S, 1880, the subject being put in a bare room and watch ed constantly.
 For fourteen days he was permit ted neither water nor exercise, but as result of public protest he later was allowed water and a daily car- riage ride. The test, which attract ed nation wide attention, lasted 40 days. He broke both lasts by eat ing fruits and suffered no i'll eff fects.
 Dr. Benedict also cited thirty day fast, from May 16, to June IA, 1910, performed in London, England, by volunteer named Gaver. This man was reported never to have suffered pain or bad effects.
 One of the most remarkable tests reported by Dr. Benedict was en- dured in Boston under his personal direction by R. Levanzin, a Maltese editor, from April IA to May IS, 1912, 31 days.
 He was physically normal man, aged 40. During the fast period the only thing that passed the mans lips was distilled water, and for the first ten days the reports says, he did not crave food or show any ap- preciable loss of weight or vitality. When the time for the fast was up, his physical condition, except for a slight loss of weight, was nearly normal.

Seeks S25,000 Because He Was Burned So Badly He Couldn't

Will V. Hut, former city col lector, seeks to collect $270 from the city of Pine Bluff, which petition filed in Jefferson Circuit court Friday by his attorneys, Coleman and Can't, alleges is due him be- cause the city council reduced his wages after he had been duly elect ed to the office.

 The petition states that MT. Hut was elected city collector, April 15 1915, and that few months after wards, the city council passed an or dinance over his protest reducing his salary fifteen dollars the month
 The legal point of whether or not the council could reduce city em, ploye's salary after he had been elected to an office is involved ir the suit, according to the petition which contends that the city legis lative body exceeded it's authority.
