CALL FOR MORE CHICKENS
Poultry Supply Seemingly Has Not

City folks who move to the country

profitable, and anyhow there is some
thing fascinating in the idea, to wom-

wreck that it was loose wheel and
whirled off in the wreck.
They claimed they found evidence
Of oil in certain parts of the bearings
which could not have got there had
the wheel been perfect. This was in
line with their contention that de-
fective equipment caused the wreck,
which resulted in the death of two
trainmen. B. L. Bugg, receiver for

DR.. Dumas declared the explosion
was caused by a mixture of chlorate
of potassium, and sugar, fred by a
dynamite detonator. He said this was
shown by chemical tests of the soil
where the wreck took place, and add
ed he found pieces of copper wire,
rubber insulation and specimens Of
parafn paper and tinfoil, which, he
said, was customarily used to wrap
high explosives! Nearby residents
said they heard an explosion from a

so the story Of the sisters went, they
encountered Rothman at Second
Avenue and Second Street and pro-
ceeded to "pitch into" him. His face
bore the marks.
The trouble began back in July.
Early in that month";, said Miss Pearl
Gre6nger, Rothnaan gave her a
worthless check for $50 and another
for $40, after he had told her that
he was a millionaire, underwear
manufacturer, temporarily short of
funds"
Miss Greinger had got that far
when Miss Elizabeth Rogers, who
said that she was an actress, living
in the Hotel Braddock, entered the
proceedings. She identified Rothman
as millionaire casket and furni-
ture manufacturer Of Detroit" who
she alleged had given her two bad
checks, one for s32 and the second
for $35, on August %.
Mrs. Grefnger, continuing her
story to the Magistrate, said that she
met Rothman in hotel in Long
Branch on July z, where she was
spending her vacation.

MOTHER is UNMOVED BY
;, SONS MURDER STORY

Chicago, Sept. 16.-Harvey W..
Church, confessed slayer of Ber-
nard Daugherty and Carl Ausmus,
automobile statesmen, early today
was brought face, to face with his
mother for the first time since his
arrest, and in her presence in the
state attorneys Office, he repeated
the details Of the two crimes.
He reverted largely to the first
of his many confessions and indicat-
ed, officials declared, that he plan
ned and executed the murders with
out assistance.
Neither Clarence Wilder nor Mil
ton Walker, named by Church as ac-
completes, officials said they had been
convinced, had any part whatever in
the crimes and they also expressed
doubt whether Leon Parks assisted
Church, despite his detailed confes-
sion.
Officials pointed out that Parks
stoutly maintained his innocence
until confronted by Church, who
then supplied most of the answers
to questions put to Parks by the in
vestigators.
Mrs. Church sat apparently un-
moved today throughout her sons
recital of the details of the muir
ders. At the close of his story she
remarked:
81 cannot understand why Har-
vey buried the man (Carl Ausmus)
in the garage. There is vacant lot
next door where all the dead cats
and dogs in the neighborhood are
buried. Why didn't he bury, him
there? Then they never would have
found him."

The gate keeper called out to know
who it was and receiving no re-
sponse took his gun and passed
around the house to the front where
he saw figure on the porch. Still
getting no reply, he fired, the charge
entering the boys left side and pass
ing through the kidney. He was
found by the roadside some distance
later by his brother, who had re-
turned in search Of him. Smith was
arrested. His preliminary trial is set

MISS RAPPE'S FIANCE
THREATENS VENGEANCE
Henry Lehrman, Producer Here,
Says He Would Kill Arbuekn
-. If Freed.
New York Times.

At the request of Henry Lehrman'
the fiance of Miss Virginia Rappe,
the body of the screen actress will be
buried in Los Angeles. Mr.. Lehrman
was overcome by grief in his apart
ment at rs West Fifty-frst Street
Yesterday and he declared that ne
hoped Roscoe Arbuckle would speed
ilv answer for the alleged wrongs to
the girl.
"From information I received from
San Francisco" he said, 81 believe
Arbuckle is guilty. For his sake
wish that he will receive full meas
.ure of Justice so there will be no
other crime necessary. You know
what the death of Virginia means to
me. I will not attempt to express it.
She died game, like a real woman
her last words being to punish Ar
buckle, that he outraged her and she
begged the nurse not to tell this, as
she did not want me to know.
81 am making arrangements for the
funeral in Los Angeles. She loved it
so much, and want her near me-"
Mr.. Lehrman and Miss Rape had
been engaged about year. They met
FIVE years ago in California and mo-
ton picture work brought them to-
gether. y 49,.
81 had known Virginia ever since
she came to the Coast. about tlve
wears ago." he said. "Arbuckle had
been a friend and we had visited
him at his home. Her death came as a
terrific shock to me. first heard OF
it about / o'clock on Friday after
noon. The telegram just told me that
she was dead and I had no inkling as
to what had happened until l sa"
it in the newspapers.
=, "Later I got word from a friend
that it was all true. Would l kill Ar
buckle? Yes. feel just as would any
other man with red blood in his
veins. l will not deny that l have
said I would kill him if we were to
meet. 1 hope the law will punish
him and that he will receive fuf1
justice for the crime.
"Arbuckle is the result Of ignor'
ance and too much money. He was
originally bar boy, although he has
been in the chorus and done other
things. I directed for him for a year
and half, and I had to warn him to
keep out of the , women's dressing
rooms. There are some people who
are a. disgrace to the film business

They get enormous salaries and have
not sufficient balance to keep right
They are the kind who resort to CO.
caine and opium and who partlcl'
pate in orgies that are of the lowest
character. They should be driven out
of the picture business. am no saint
but ] have never attended one OF their
parties. Virginia's friends were de-
cent people, and I know she would
not have associated with any one she
knew to be vile"
Miss Rappe, Mr.. Lehrman said was
born in New York but brought up
in Chicago. Her parents are dead and
she had no relatives so far as he
knew.
