Obituary..


at z, p. M. A. H. Judd, well
known and highly respected citi-
zen passed peacefully away at
his home, Cane Valley after an
illness of about three weeks, at
age of SO years. Everything
was done that loving hands could
do, but the Master saw fit to re-
move him from our midst so we
can only say, "Thy will be done. T"
His sons who were working in
Monticello, were called home
when he first became i'll and
stayed by his side night and day.
When thinking he was better
they returned to their work, but
on the date mentioned above he
became worse and before any of
them could arrive he had passed
out into the great beyond. Those
dear ones he left behind have
one consolation in knowing he
was ready and even anxious to
60 as he expressed that desire to
his daughter not long before his
death. .
He was married about 81
years ago to Miss Martha DAM
rom and has been a very devoted
husband and father and a man
who loved his home and family,
and was seldom absent from
them.
In early life he became a Ma
son and has always been true and
faithful, letting nothing come
between him and his Masonic
duties. He was a member of
the Christian Church and in his
younger days took great interest
in church work always leading in
the song service as he was a
greac lover of music.
About one week before his i'll
ness, the writer, (who lives about
$50 yards from him) sat and list
ened to him sing some of his favo-
rite songs, two of which were,-
"Will there be any Stars" and
"There'll be no dark valley" "
and it was wonderful to hear a
man of his age sing with such a
rich, clear voice. He was at one
time merchant and Post Master
here and was liked by all who
knew him.
All Of his children were most
attentive to him and even his
little grandchildren, if they could
do nothing more would keep
fresh flowers in his room each
day, for they loved grandfather,
and wanted to feel, they were
doing something for his COM
fort.
He is survived by his wife, six
children and a number of grand
children all of whom were with
him during his illness.
The children are Messrs. ]. H.
R. L., Grover and Sam Judd, and
Mrs. T. l. Smith, ST., this place

 VETERANS OF WAR
tRepubllean A. p. Leased wireI

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Sept. Il. A message to former service men was delivered today by President Harding during his Sabbath activi- ties at the oceanside. which included attendance at church, an address to veterans of the Fifth division, A. F. F., and an hours stroll along the boardwalk.
 After attending the Chelsea Bap- tist church with Mrs. Harding and his guests, the president found sev- eraI hundred Fifth division veterans assembled in front of his hotel
 Standing on a chair. he urged that they aid in solving the problems of peace as they have those of war.
 "There is nothing too good in America for Its veteran defenders. he said. All America is proud of what you and your division did at the Mouse All America is proud of what our soldiers did in the war"
 Apparently referring to the sol diers' bonus bill, the president said:
 ''The man who came back wounded and impaired deserves the fullest aid in our power to give, and I propose to use all influence I have to see he gets it. But I am not so much con- cerned with those who came out un- impaired. They have the compensa- tion of supreme service and experi- ence You may be disappointed with matters of legislation, but I want you to know we are interested in your welfare.
 q am not unmindful of the job you did over there. I am not unmindful of the service you rendered under your former commander, and I ask that you render me the same faith ful service. There is still greater service to be rendered in establish ing national lines of peace It is up to you to help solve the problem that has been thrust on us by the enemy from within"
 At o'clock, despite a drizzle, President Harding tramped a mile on the boardwalk and was given an enthusiastic reception. With diff culty he waded through crowds. He shook hands with hundreds. mostly children, was bombarded with flow CTS, and finally the crush became so great he was forced into a side street.
 The president may end his vacation here tomorrow and motor along the coast and pick up the Mayflower for a cruise in return to Washington.
 President Harding tonight shook hands with scores of persons at an informal reception arranged by the guests at his hotel.

IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wirel


 CHESTER, Pa, Sept. 11-Twenty four persons were drowned and five seriously injured in the collapse last night of the bridge spanning the Chester river at Third street, in the business district. Police announced tonight that divers had definitely de- termined no more bodies remained in the water.
 A small wrought iron gusset plate, part of the support for a foot path along the structure, which had been half eaten by rust. gave way under the weight of nearly a hundred per- sons, who were attracted by the cries of drowning boy
 The last body to be dragged from the river mud was that of eight year old Charles Apostolus the child whose death was the inadventant cause of the accident. It was recov- cred shortly before noon today.
 All the dead were residents of Chester. Charles Apostolus was with children on the river bank in the rear of theater. watching a tame bear when knocked into the river by an excited playmate.
 The victims were caught in a veri- table death trap. At the point of the accident, the water is 16 feet deep. The river is scarcely more than 25 feet wide, and walls of buildings line it's edge. Those who could swim found it impossible to scale the slip pery walls.
 A minute after the accident half a dozen men dove in and pulled half drowned men, women and children out of the tangled mass of humanity. Several boatmen aided in the rescue.
 Three investigations will be made, 1t was announced.

TRepubIIcan A. p. Leased Wlrel

CHICAGO, Sept. 11.-Harvey w.. Church, the 20-year-old youth ac- cused of slaying B. J. Daugherty and Carl Ausmus to obtain a S4.500 auto mobile broke down after F hours of questioning today and made a com plete confession. according to the po- lice.
 The youth, who was brought back last night from Adams, Wis, his for mer home, where he had driven his mother in the car Friday, tiie day after the murders, was quoted as ad- hitting he alone had planned and executed the tragedy.
 The terrible beatings shown on the bodies and the trussing of both was merely ito be sure they were dead, according to the alleged confession, which in part follows:
 "Ausmus waited in the car outside my home at the curbing while I went inside with Daugherty. I told him l would give him the money in the parlor. When I got to the parlor drew a pistol. He held up his hands
 q pulled out the handcuffs and told him to hold out his hands one at a time. He looked like a powerful man and l wasn't going to give him a chance.
 aI took him to the basement. When we got down the stairs l took the baseball bat in one hand. but I kept him covered. Turn around I said He started to turn. I swung the bat with all my might and it caught him across the head. He went down, bu, tried to strike back.
 q kept beating him until he didn't move. I hit him with bat and with a hatchet. Then I cut his throat. was afraid he might come to while was upstairs to get Ausmus. Ther I went upstairs and waited. I knew Ausmus would come in. He did a few moments later. I went through tho same thing then.
 T waited until dark and put Aus mus in a hole in the garage. TheT I bound up Daugherty in a quilt anc dragged him to the automobile. dumped him in the river. Then drove around in the car.
 Tt didn't seem so terrible to me I wanted the car and I thought would get caught if Daugherty ol the other fellow got away"
 The body of Daugherty was foun6 in the Des Plaines river a few blocks from the Church home, Fri day. Rope was twisted tightly abour the lHIOdl, WHICH was cut lIOiIl cal to ear. A pair of handcuffs danglet from one wrist.
 Yesterday a search of the garage behind the Church home revealed the body of Ausmus, who had beer buried while yet alive, according tC the coroner
 Church, following his arrest, as. serted his innocence and returned tC Chicago. He was accompanied bl 1 his aged parents and drove the cal for the possession of which he wa. accused of killing the two men. Later Church was said to have ad. mitted another person was implicat. ed in the two slayings, but refused to reveal any name The police, how. ever, declared that they were con. vinced that the first story he tolt was correct.
 Coroner Peter Hoffman tonigh l declared Church's alleged confession was a tissue of lies" He said i would have been physically impossi l ble for Church to have killed the twt men in the manner described. He as serted a belief that the double mur, der was the work of several men.

 American interests in the proper ties had it's origin in Switzerland in 1919, when Archduke Frederick met Mir. Fielder. Operation of the indus tries had been paralyzed by the war. Arrangements were made in October, 1919, whereby the archduke was to transfer his properties, except those in new Hungary to Corporation or ganized in Switzerland, to take over the administration of the estates.
 Mir. Fielder was to form a syndicate in America to acquire substantial interests in the new company, which he did. Differences a.ose between the archducal family and the syndi- cate. These have now been adjusted, The syndicate and the archduke will enforce what they believe to be their rights against the several govern ments now withholding possession.
 A complaint is about to be lodged before the mixed tribunals of the league of nations. before which new states will be summoned as having acted in defiance of treaties with the allies MT Fielder said that before the syndicate undertook the transac- tion. if communicated with the Amer ican state department and with French authorities and were assured that there would he no objection.
