WON|ANNOT
SURE WHICH
WAS GUILTY
Detectives Consider Releasing
Louis Randall. Convicted by
Mrs. Cleason's Testimony.

Attorney General Daugherty is
considering the release from the
Federal prison at Atlanta Of Louis
Randall, Washington negro, who is
serving a forty-five-year sentence
after having been convicted in the
District courts of attempting Grim
inally to attack Mrs. Bessie Glea-
son, of Ia Nicholson street north
east.
Another Confcsses Crime.
Confessions made by William Henry
! Campbell that it was he and not Ran
dali who attacked Mrs. Gleason are
in the hands Of one Of Mr.. Daugh.
erty's assistants, who is investigating
the circumstances surrounding the ar
rests and convictions OF the two
negroes.
Campbell was hanged at the District
jan two months ago for killing Mrs.
Margaret Harrison Mann. When
Campbell was arrested, he not only
confessed to the killing of Mrs. Mann,
but also to having made attacks on
Mrs. Gleason and other Washington
women. When he was tried he re-
pudiated that part Of his confession
relating to Mrs. Gleason, but admitted
the killing Of Mrs. Mann.
After hearing Campbell's confession,
Assistant District Attorney Paul
Cromlin began to have doubts Of
Randall's guilt. He sent for Mrs
Gleason and asked IL she were not mis-
taken when she picked Randall out as
her assailant.
Woman Not Sure.
She was confronted with Campbell
and is said to have stated that Camp
bell also looked like her assailant. She
admitted she might have been mis-
taken in picking out Randall as the
man who had seized her, dragged into
e. clump of woods and attempted to as
sault her.
Following Campbell's arrest, he was
taken to the places where the women
had been attacked. He descriDed in
detail to detectives just what he had
done. His stories fitted exactly with
the reports made by the attacked
women.
District Attorney Cromelin has fur
nished Attorney General Daugherty
with all the statements and testimony
in the two cases and 1t Is believed
that Randall will be given the benefit
of the doubt existing in the minds 81
the detectives and District Attorney

SHOOT WATER HIGH IN AIR
Iceland Geysers Beautiful, but In
safe Places in Which to Linger
for Long Periods.

The hot-water fountains Of Iceland
are on mounds averaging seven feet In
height, the top Of each Of which forms
! the edge Of a sort Of basin. From
these basins the steam of boiling wa
ter can be seen rising and the over
How Of water is continuous. The con-
tents of these basins is as clear as
crystal 1and one can see to a great
depth, while just below the surface
are many wonderfully beautiful white
tncrustations to obtain samples Of
which many a visitor to Iceland has
burned his fingers. The petrifcations
caused by the boiling water streams
from the geysers include birch and
willow leaves, grass and rushes SEEM
ingIy converted into marble.
At no time is 1t entirely safe to loi-
ter in the vicinity of one Of these bot
tomless basins, for the geyser has q
way Of spouting and gives no advance
warning. Sometimes there will be q
shoot Of boiling water to height of
is feet, followed by a succession Of
jets. The highest shoot of which there
is any record was 80 feet. =.s,
Occasionally basin will for some
unexplained reason become empty or
will give forth "steam shoe" which,
in the form Of q column Of spray and
vapor at least 60 feet in height, pre-
sents really magnificent spectacle.

SURE ONE SIGN IS CORRECT
Worried indianapolis Man Is Very
Glad to Let Things Remain
on That Basis.

When Wallace o. Lee, chairman OF
the publicity committee for the Gypsy
Smith revival arrangements, ordered
the big sign on the front Of the wood
en- tabernacle opposite the city hall.
he told the sign man to spell it
"Gipsy."
After it was painted and set up,
somebody told Wallace that he was
all wrong-that the first syllable
should have been spelled with ~
instead Of an a." So when Wallace
the other day ordered 1872 signs boost
ing the campaign, to be sent to evan
gelistic churches In the county, he
told the sign man to spell It Gypsy"
Then various ministers worried Mr..
Lee by calling him up and saying that
although they were glad to get the
sign, and so on, still-well, what they
were trying to hint politely was that
what Wallace didn't know about spell
ing would have filed "a bigger book
than the unabridged. =

The tongue is inserted into the toe"

the Allies. For the total must be
deducted from the amount Germany
has already paid in reparations---so
far, $4,000, 100000 The. total to be
issued will be roughly $31,750,00O.
The Preparations Commission will
await a favorable opportunity to
open the first of the bonds to the
market according to plans. Though
procedure has not been definitely
decided upon, it is thought they, as
the central governing special body
will be former, comprising delegates
from bond holding countries.
The bonds represent Germany's to-
tai Preparations debt, and they or
their value will be appropriated by
the commission among allied and as
ISOLATED countries to whom repara-
tions are due. The solution contem-
plated is to permit the recipients OF
the bonds to do most of the market
ing, or to hold the bonds as they
choose. In this case precautions
will be taken against possible dump
ing by some country willing to ac-
cept too low a price for them.
It is believed the first lot market
ed will total from $50,Q00,O00 to
100000, 900. There is no author
