"Thc result of the present unorgan-

in this city Is that there Ia an utter

discipline. Consequently, the party
suffers. and the party locally suffers
most of all.
This is not a time to mince words.
The fact is that If the Republicans of
New York City are not formed into a
single headed militant Organization we
Republicans must expect to see the

1t is believed that one immediate Of

the calling Of conference of New
York City Republican members of the
legislature and organizing them into

and 1917, when they succeeded in put

measures Of lasting local benefit.
A prominent Republican yesterday
said that the city-wide organization
proposed by Mr. Marsh could be made
a reality within ten days if it were
possible to make certain leaders in
Manhattan and Brooklyn forget thsir

Landru Collapses
After Experts Tell
OF Bones.in Stove
Testify l20 Pounds Human
Flesh Could Have Been
Turned Into Ashes in Day
i'm "Bluebeard's" Range

VERSAILLES, Nov. "a (By The AS
sociated Prcss) The prosecution in
the case Of Henri Landru, the "Blue-
beard of GAmbais," to-day abandoned
theory and placed on the witness stand
experts, who gave direct testimony that
particles Of bone taken from the gar
den and cooking range Of Landru were
those of human beings. The explana
tion given by one of the experts, DR..
Paul, that the bones were those of hu-
man persons, and that the small por-
tions Of skull belonged to persons
whose heads had been shattered with a
hammer or an axe, held the jury in
rapt attention.
Counsel for the defendant, who is
charged with eleven murders, declared
that no expert, however, learned, could
swear that the bones belonged to hu
man beings or animals.
The insignificant kitchen range
seemed to loom large to the Jurors as
DR.. Bayle, another of the prosecution
experts, gave testimony like that of
DR.. Paul, and added that 120 pounds of
human flesh and bone could have been
turned into ashes In twenty-four hours
in the cook stove. The three experts,
the third being DR.. King, told the
jurors that It was possible, even prob
able, that Landru had disposed of
three bodies in the little stove.
The utmost courtesy, which had been
in evidence throughout the trial, was
lacking to-day. M. Moro-Giafferi, Land
RUS counsel, openly charged Judge Gill
bert with partiality.
Landru completely collapsed after he
was returned To the Versailles iai1 ar

"The whole world is against me-
There is much ado about nothing" said
tho prisoner.

All Republicans
Bronx Leader First to I'm.
dorse Proposal Made by
Marsh to Bring Together
the Five Factions
Would End Upstate Rule
Militant Organization Is
Declared Necessary Be-
fore Party Can Go Ahead

The movement for a city-wide Re-
p-biican organization, which has been
discussed academically for years, and
which was formally placed before the
: New York County Republican Commit
tee at its monthly meeting last week
by Robert Nee. Marsh, was Endorsed
Yesterday by Richard Lawrence, leader
OF the Bronx Republicans.
"The idea put forth by Mr.. Marsh is
excellent and the Bronx is unquali-
fedly for it," said Mr.. Lawrence. "It
should appeal to all Republicans who
have the welfare Of the party, espe-
cially in this city, at heart. The won
der is that it was not done long ago"
MI Marsh, in discussing the pro-
posed unifcation of the New York City
Republicans yesterday, said that while
the party continues to be divided into
five parts in this city, and these parts
are frequently pulling against one an
other, local Republicans may expect to
see Tammany in control of the city and
the New York City Republicans at
the mercy Of the we'll organized up
state machine.
Referred to Committee
The fact that Mr.. Marsh, who took =
prominent part in the last campaign,
had offered resolution calling upon
the New York County Republican Com
mittee to indorse citywide organi-
zation of the party. escaped general
attention because under the rules such
document must be referred to the
cannot be discussed on the floor until
it is reported out.
Just what fate it will meet at the
hands Of the New York County exec
utive committee is highly speculative
lust now, as none of the members of
the committee, from Chairman Samuel
S S.Koenig down, will discuss it until
it has been acted upon.
The proposal for city wide Repub-
ltcan organization will be put before
the Bronx County Republican Commit
tee at its next monthly meeting and
no time lost in ratifying it. The mat
ter also will be brought before the
Republican organizations in the other
Richmond-and it is the hope of
those who are behind the movement
that the idea will be an actuality be-
fore the next election.
Must Be Organized
Commenting on his proposal, Mr.
Marsh said yesterday to representa-
tive of The Tribune
The Republican party IN New York
City cannot make progress until it is
organized onsa citywide basis with a
responsible leader at its head. l am
not interested in who will be chosen
to head the proposed city-wide organi-
zation. My only concern is to see the
idea materialize so that Republicans
in New York City can make some def
mite headway.
There are two vital reasons for
the creation of such an organization.
One is to enable the Republicans in all
five boroughs to formulate govern

hearings will not be completed by the

are 1t will be able to make but little

rush incident to opening the regular

close the hearings that month.

II is estimated that the loan feat

men of Klamath county. About one
hundred of these ex-service men in
tend to build homes in Klamath Falls
alone. Consider that only fifty actual

year and that each man borrows sS.-
900 from the state for the purpose.
This would place sl5O.0OO into Kla-
math Falls homes within the next
year. And we may consider this a
minimum.
This money will benefit practical
ly every person in klamath Falls.

man that draws the deed, the man

to what was afterwards called the
Hall place. The old homestead was
burned about 1898. New buildings
were afterward built and in later
years the place was occupied by Will
liam Kent, who operated a shingle
mill near Barker Pond The Chap
man family lived on the so-called
Hall farm until the father and mother
died.
In 1908, Thomas, the subject of this
sketch, sold the farm to his youngest
son and soon afterward moved to the
home of his daughter, Mrs. George
Johnson in Hartland Still later, he
made his home with Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank Wescott in Athens.
At the age of thirty-four years, he
was married to Miss Carolyn Jordan
of Benton, who died at Athens in
1891. They were the parents of three
children: Walter, Cora and William.
The first named, moved to Skowhegan
and was employed as a market man
for many years, working for Parker &
Nay and later for A. r. Jewett. Cora,
mentioned above, Is the wife of George
johnson, their home being In the
Withee Mills district in Hartland. Will
liam became locomotive fireman on
the Maine Central Railroad, his run
for some years being between Water
Vile and Portland. He and his fam
lily now lives on East street In Show
hogan.
Mr.. Chapman recalled a time quite
beyond the memory of most of the
present generations. He remembered
attending a private school then kept
by the Rev. Comfort Taylor at his
home. Other teachers recalled by him
were John Taylor, Mr.. and Miss
Shepley and Miss Lovina Lord. Among
the pleasures of those school days
were huskings and apple bees. Some
of those good times were held at the
homes of Hiram Magoon, John Tay-
lor, Joseph Barker and Charles Lit
tlefield, all of whom are long since
deceased. Mr.. Chapman related that
these affairs were often largely at
tended and that sometimes they would
husk corn from two or three acre
piece in one evening.

Matter of Closing Arson Station

A statement has been issued by the
Public Utilities Commission saying
that notice is given that the commits
sion has summarily without notice in
vestigated the matter Of the closing OF
the Arson Village Station on the line
of the Maine Central Railroad, and has
become satisfied that sufficient
grounds exist to warrant a formal
public hearing being ordered as to the
closing of the station.
cit Is alleged that from and after
the time Of the closing Of the station,
say the commissioners, mo freight
except in carload lots will be shipped
to or from the station, and that freight
in less than carloads lots will be re-
ceived at some station other than the
one at Arson Village, and that the sale
of tickets in passenger service at the
Arson Village Station will, after such
closing, be discontinued.
ut is further alleged that as re-
suit of the closing of the station the
service of the railroad company to the
patrons thereof in connection with the
Arson Village Station will be greatly
curtailed and rendered of no value OF
usefulness.
"In the meantime and until further
order the Maine Central Railroad
Company is to continue the mainten'
ance and operation of the station fol
the conduct of it's freight and passen-
ger business"
