BIC COLLECTION
Of BEASTS BURN
Flames Sweep Geological Arena at
Independence. Causing Loss Of
sf50.000-Six Buildings De-
Stroyed-BIrds Saved.

Independence, Mo-, Oct. 21.-Jungle
beasts were burned In their cages
when fire swept through the animal
buildings OF the Horne Geological
arena here early today, causing dam
age estimated at $150,0O0.
The fire, believed Of incendiary
origin, destroyed what is said to have
been one of the rarest collections Of
wild animals in the United States.
The exhibit had just been gathered
by Sherman Horne for sale to circus
owners at the annual display in Chi
cago.
The collection of rs wild animals
included tigers, lions, bears, leopards.
monkeys and many rare specimens.
None was saved except inhabitants
of the bird house, valued at many
thousand dollars, according to Horne.
Investigators were puzzled by the
fact that terrifying cries from the
animals trapped by the fire did not
accompany the blaze as 1t ran
through the six wooden buildings.
This led to the belief that the ami
mails had been killed or rendered
unconscious before the flames broke
out.
The fire was discovered by Mrs.
E. p. Horne, mother of the owner of
the collection, who was awakened by
the bright flare and the smell Of
smoke and burning animals.

one block from the point where the
three children were picked up.
Names of the driver of the automo-

"Prayin' COIOnels"
Clash With Crimson
By HENRY L. FARRELL

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 21.--Filled
with faith and fight, the "Prayin'
Colonels' from Old Kaintucks ia
nous Centre College went against
Harvard's finest here today in the
first big game of the 1922 football
season.
Banged up by injuries earlier and
with a bunch of colds and sore
tEroats caused by the change from
the sunny south to the frigid east
ern coast, Centre figured that pray
ers would be needed to get the de-
cision in the rubber game with a
powerful team pointed and primed
for victory.
Beautiful weather and ideal all
around conditions prevailed. The
sun beamed brightly from clear blue
skies but it lacked the force to take
the chilly bite out of the wind that
blew in from the bay.
Out-of-town crowds began to pour
in on all the morning trains and the
colors Of Centre mingled with the
Crimson Of Harvard that glared out
from the shop windows and beamed
off the breasts Of Harvard men.

New Brunswick, N. j.. Oct. 21.--
The Woman in Grey-the murderer
of DR.. Hall and Mrs. Mills, is no
character of fiction, but a real flesh
and blood woman of New Bruins
wick, about whom our net Is slowly
closing.
Here Is the detailed story OF our
search for her.
She was seen, this woman In the
long grey coat, at the crab apple
tree on Phillips farm on The after
noon before the murder. This much
told before. But ! am now in a
position to disclose where she went
from there, and the identity of
people who could name her II they
dared.
The woman in grey, after pacing
the little lane apparently to dlscov-
er the exact spot where the county
line cut through the field of golden
rod, crossed the little creek that di-
vides Somerset and Middlesex coun-
ties and disappeared into one Of the
little houses of a foreign colony
about half mile from where the
bodies of the rector and the sections
wife were found.
The day after the discovery OF
the bodies, two men from this col
ony were taken from their homes
under arrest and were examined by
the authorities. A long knife was
taken from the home of one OF them.
Their houses were searched.
rhe one whose knife was taken
was freed Of suspicion.
"They kept my knife. How can |
stick my pigs?" he roared as he told
his story to the little colonists who
gathered in excitement about him.
Eventually the other man was
freed.
This much is known publicly. But
what / have learned is that while
the men still were under arrest,
their wives were heard to say that
if they were not released the wo-
men would tell all they knew.
My investigators went to them to
find out what it was they had to
tell, and they told of the woman in
grey the murderess - disappearing
into house Of neighbor of theirs
and never being seen to emerge.
They said that the woman, into
whose house the woman Is grey
vanished had named her to them.
But when my men went to that
