Priest Lured to
Death by Call
OF Dying Man
Father Belknap, Summoned
From Lead, S. d., Rectory
in Night, Found in Road,
Heart Pierced by a Bullet
Stranger Escort Missing
Told Clergyman Last Rites
We're Needed by Friend;
Auto Secretly Crippled

LEAD, S. D., Oct. 26.--The body OF
the Rev. Father A. B. Belknap, rector
Of St. Patrick's Cathedral here, was
found to-day on Poor Mans Gulcf
highway, near the city limits of Lead
A bullet from large caliber revolver
had pierced his heart. The priest had
been lured to his death by man who
a few minutes before, had appealed to
Father Belknap to come with him to
administer the last sacraments of the
Church to sick man.
Tonight the authorities of Lead were
without clew to the identity of the
slayer. Bloodhounds were on the way
from Mitchell, S. D., and when they
arrive gearch for the murderer will
start. Throughout the Black Hills
scores of men were ready tonight to
form posses.
Awakened at 3 in Morning
1t was about 3:15 o'clock this morn
ing when a man rang the bell at the
door of Bishop ]. J. LAWYERS residence
where Father Belknap lived. The
young priest answered the call. Father
, Thomas Hoben and Father Belknap's
parents, also living at the Lawler
home, heard a man ask Father Belknap
to come with him to the home of a sick
friend who was about to die and who
desired the sacrament of extreme unc-
tion administered.
Father Belknap went to his garage
to. get his automobile. His visitor &C.
companied him; The starter on the car
would not work and the two men de-
parted afoot.
That was the last occupants Of the
bishops residence heard of the priest
until his body was found half an hour
later. 1t lay in the roadway, face
downward. A large bruise on the back
Of the priests head indicated he had
been struck from behind with blunt
instrument. Residents OF the vicinity
told the police they had heard three
shots.
Bishop Lawler declared tonight
Father Belknap had no enemies anc
never had received any threats.
No description of the man who calico
for the priest was obtainable, authori
ties say.
Car Had Been Crippled
An examination of Father Belknap's
automobile indicated it had been tam
pered with. according to his friends, &
switch connecting the starter having
been removed.
Rewards totalling $500 for appre
hension Of the slayer had been Offered
tonight.
Father Belknap was born in lowe
July a, 1891. He was ordained in 1871
and entered upon his work as parish
priest of Lead on January l, 1919 Ht
was popular not only with Catholics
but with people of the city generally.
The killing resembles in many de
tails the murder of the Rev. Fathel
Patrick E. Heslin, O. Colma, Calf, wht
was lured from his home August L
last, and whose body was found late,
buried in sand at the base of a cliff
near Salada Beach. Cali.

United Stores
Negotiates for
Schultz Firm
Deal, if Completed, Will In
volve Taking In Various
Retail Branches by an Ex-
change of Stock i'm Former
Basis To Be Agreed Upon
Rise in Stock Started Ru-
mors OF Mergxr; Both
Concerns Do Big Business

D. A. Schultz, head of the Schultz Re-
tail Stores Corporation and affiliated
companies, including the Schultz
chain of retail cigar stores, confirmed
yesterday reports that negotiations are
under way with the United Retail
Stores Corporation, the Whelan-Duke-
packed combination controlling the
United Cigar Stores Company and the
United Retail Candy Stores, Inc, for
the absorption of the Schultz orgari-
zation. The deal, if consunfmated ac-
the taking in Of the various Schultz
companies by the United Retail Stores
Corporation, holding company, on an
exchange of stock, the basis of which
is yet to be agreed upon. The Schultz
retail cigar stores chain is the biggest
rival of the United Cigar Stores in
this particular field, and there has
been keen competition between the two
organizations for many years.
The Schultz Retail Stores Corpora
tlon IS holding company which owns
all the stock OF D. A. Schultz, Inc,
Schultz Realty Company and the Mu-
tual Profit Coupon Corporation. D. A.
Schultz, Inc, operates retail cigar
stores in most Of the large cities Of
the country, to the number of about
200. 1t has 244,8O0 shares of no par
value common stock and $5OO,OOO of
preferred stock outstanding. The COM
pany was originally organized in 1888.
when its first store was opened in the
Pulitzer Building, and since then its
founder has seen it grow to an organi-
zation which in its cigar business alone
swung sales of approximately $500, ,O0O,-
600 last year.
Recent strength of the Schultz stock.
which has advanced in the unlisted
market from $50 to $43 a share this
year, gave rise to rumors several weeks
ago of an impending merger with the
Whelan-Duke combination, but officials
of the different companies would not
, confirm the reports. Yesterday, how
ever, Mr.. Schultz admitted that the
negotiations had begun, but would say
| nothing further.
The United Retail Stores Corpora
ton, which will take control of the
through, was organized in 1919. Since
its organization it has acquired either
control Of or a large interest in the
United Cigar Stores Company Of
America, u. r. Candy Stores, Inc.,
Fuerst & Graemer Company, Gilmers,
Inc, Montgomery Ward & Co., Inc,
and the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Com
pany. George J. Whelan, the organizer
Of the original United Cigar Stores, is
president. while j. 3. Duke is among
the directors.
1t was reported yesterday that the
basis of the merger Of the Schultz Re-
tail Stores Corporation and the United
Retail Stores Corporation would prob
ably be an exchange of stock of the
former for the latter. share tor share.

Liner, Pershing Aboard.

George Washington, Carrying
American, Expected to Arrive
Tomorrow Ahead Of Paris

According to radio advices received
yesterday from each of the two steam
ships 1t is likely that the George Wash
ington, from Bremen and Cherbourg,
and the French liner Paris, from Havre,
will arrive here together tomorrow
The Washington, on which General
Pershing embarked, is much slower
than the Paris, on which Marshal Foch
is travelling westward. The Washington,
however, had two-day lead off the
French coast, having left Cherbourg,
October %. Steam ng on her regular
schedule she should be in port to-day,
but bad weather, according to the radios
received from her yesterday, has held
her back.
Meanwhile the Paris, which left
Havre October %, is making good time
and has gradually gained upon the
Washington. Both vessels are expected
to dock tomorrow, but it is likely that
the Washington will come in before
noon and the Paris later in the day.

PARIS, Oct. 26.-Premier BRAND will
depart for Washington on Saturday at
the head of the French delegation to
the Conference on Limitation of Arma-
ment. The last obstacle to the Pre-
mier's voyage was removed tonight
when the Chamber of Deputies, by a
vote of 3S1 to 1856, affirmed its conf
dence in the government Previously,
after a vigorous debate, in which Bri-
and had been called on for the second
time within week to defend the gov
ernment's policies, the Deputies voted,
339 to 17S, an order of the day voicing
confidence in the governments firmness
in accord with the other Allies in its
efforts to assure a realization of the
rights to which France is entitled.
and in continuing to defend the pres
tige of France cnergctically abroad and

By virtue Of to-night's vote the
Chamber gives Premier BRAND carte
D'aHCne W speak at washington as he
sees fit and to decide vital questions on
the spot in the name of France. 1t is
expected that he viii have his last con-
ference with the Cabinet on Friday.
In the session tonight BRAND threw
down the gauntlet after he had listened
to attacks from several orators charg-
ing him with conducting the govern
ment in weakened fashion. BRAND
demanded that the chamber Judge the
governments on the basis of it's acts
Hitting at the weakness of the wh ie
campaign against him, BRAND said:
DO not overthrow the government
without realizing that any other policy
would be harmful to the country"
Thus far none of his critics had sug-
gested policies counter to those of the
government being content only to
criticize. The Premier said that even
though his baggage was packed ready
for the trip to Washington the Cham
ber .'eed not feel called on either to
send him to the United States or keep
him at the head of the government
II it did. he warned the Chamber. it
must deliver to him clean vote of
