morrow. This may be so, but 1t seems
hardly proable in view Of the tact that
Bcekman has some easy homicide cases
and other matters that he can put be-
fore the Grand Jury first and thereby
disposed OF for the time being
Georse Tottan the detective, made
brief statement Tonight, in which he
said:
"This afternoon I examined three
women witnesses in this case. One OF
these was never examined before. OF
the two others l will say nothing. The
Two others were not questioned III
Somerville because they would have
been quizzed by reporters. l questioned
them in a secret place l have for that
purpose, and stenographers were present.
The new witness is not the eye wit
ress. She took me to the Philips
farm, where we went over the ground
She called my attention to some things
there. Beyond that / will say nothing.
This enlightening statement is re-
garded as indicating that there is still
something about the Phillips farm that
Totten and Beekman have not learned,
although the place has been visited py
thousands of people, the farmhouse
ransacked and the ground trampled
beyond recognition. The statement IN
regard to the new witness does NOT
however. refer to Mrs. Addison Clarke
Mrs. Mills's friend. who has been eN-
amined four times, her husband said
to-day.
Rifle for Willie stevens.
II appears now that Willie Stevens,
who lives at the Halls, was able on oc-
casions not long ago TO produce rifle
authorities
after searching the premises found only
Willie's revolver, and that had the nam
mer filed down so that it was useless.
Willie found the rifle when the cats
began to worry him.
Some months ago. according to his
story. a number Of cats began 10 make
the Hall lawns a playground day ana
night, to the annoyance of the Iamily'
Another annoyance was negro on q
motorcycle, who used TO drive along the
Hall sidewalk instead of staying IN the
roadway. One day this negro was riding
by when Willie appeared with rlile
over his shoulder and demanded to
know what he means by driving on the
sidewalk. The negro stopped ana shouted
half laughingly; Don't shoot" The IN
cident is entirely unimportant except as
it raises the question Where did Wine
get the gun and what became or II AFTER
ward?'
Mills asserted again to-day that he
saw Mrs Hall four times the day atter
the disappearance Of the rector ana the
choir singer He now SAYS that on one
of the occasions Mrs. Hall said to him.
when he asked her what she thought had
happened: II don't know. but think
he must be dead" meaning Hall.
On another occasion Mrs. Hail an
swered 'I think they mus: have met
with foul play
1t will be noted that Mills's stories
vary in their details frequently. AS a
matter OF fact, he has been interviewed
so much he cannot remember what he
has said from one time to another. and
frequently uses phrases he has heard
from his interviewers.

Bronx Zoo Animal May Be Father
to New Race of Super
Apes.
USES TRAPEzE AS A LEVER
Actually Discovers the Principle OF
the Lever and Fulcrum as Truly
as Did Archimedes, the Gre
clan Philosopher.

New York.-Scientists, who pay fire.
quent visits to the Bronx zoo, marvel
at Gabong. an orang-outang or super
ape. For in his cage he has actually
discovered the principle of the lever
and fulcrum as truly as did Archi-
modes, the Grecian philosopher.
He not only discovered 1.-THE APP
piled it practically. and ripped to
pieces a steel-and-iron cage that the
strongest man could not have escaped
from without the aid of tools.
DIR. Wundt has said that If you
could give an animal the power to
think originally and thumb, he
would be building steam engines in
20 generations. He added the thumb
because without thumb 1t is impos-
sible to handle tools or weapons.
This thinking ape has not one
thumb or two thumbs like human
being-it has four thumbs!
Suspended from the top of Gabong's
cage was a trapeze on which he used
to take his exercise. Gabong's Shout
ders are broad as mans. and 1t had
TO be strong trapeze. The bar was
a three-foot length of heavy iron-a
short crowbar in fact-fastened by
chains that would hold an elephant.
Used Trapeze as Lever.
One dag, Gabong got the end of the
bar through a link of the chain and
began to twist. He twisted and
twisted. clinging to the chain with
two of his "hands" and pulling with
the other two.
Then Gabong put his weight into It,
His powerful shoulders bulged. There
was finally sharp snap as the link

Keeper Dick Spicer, Curator Dit
mars and DR.. Hornaday, general d.
rector OF the zoo. happened to be
watching him. Gabong's work of de-
struction was too interesting to inter-
rupt, SO they let him go on.
Again the hairy shoulders bulged,
again the chain snapped. and Gabong
fell second time to the floor, but
this time he brought with him three
foot length of iron. He had converted
his trapeze into crowbar-a tool
a weapon.
He Rugged. and patted and fondled
his new possession.

he seemed to say. AS the two men

cage, ana getting the lever into
convenient niche, began to tug and

The orang now fully conscious of
the new power he welded. ripped the
running board from the wall, and be-
gan to demoish his cage. With a con-
venient crack for purchase, and a
bolt-head for fulcrum, he tugged and
twisted until he had loosened steel
plate from the wall. Next he turned
his attention to the powerful cage

In another minute the huge ape
would be free-a great. hairy, think

L tee gave the navy another severe
jolt last week, reducing the deficiency
item for naval fuel for the remainder
of the fiscal year to $4,000, 000-little
more than half what the navy depart

predicted that Secretary DENLY would
be forced to issue orders forbidding all
naval ships to operate under steam for
the rest of the year. This would mean
that the vessels must remain at anchor

D EPUBLICAN members of the house
IN ways and means committee hav-
ing rejected the sales tax plan for f.
nancing the soldiers bonus, the COM
mittee went on trying to devise other
schemes, with the alternative of adopt
ing a bill that contains no financing
feature. A subcommittee suggested one
plan which would not involve heavy
drain on the treasury during the next
two years. This contemplates the elm
nation Of cash bonus. Adjusted
service certificates would be issued
equal to the sum of the adjusted serv-
Ice pay of the veteran Isl day for
domestic service and $1.25 day for
foreign service, less the $50 bonus paid
at the time of discharge), increased by
40 per cent, plus interest thereon for
twenty years at the rate of Az per
cent year, compounded annually. The
total face value thus would be APP
proximately 1888 times the amount of
cash that a veteran would have re-
ceived under the cash feature
Immediately after the certificate
obtain from bank an amount equal
to 80 per cent of the total of the adj
justed service pay If at the expira-
tion of three years the sum thus OBJ
tanned, plus interest, had not been
paid by the service man, the bank
could make demand on the federal
treasury for the amount due. The gov
eminent thus would take over and
carry the loan.
Some members feared the borrow
ings under this plan might affect the
financial situation harmfully, so treas
ury experts were called in to advise
the committee on that and other
points. If the scheme Is feasible and
goes through the government would
not have to pay any cash for two or
three years except for administrative
purposes.
