LINDSAY CONFESSES TO SWINDLINC
WOMEN OF MONEY in STOCK DEALS
Dapper New Yorker Forms Mythical Pool and Ganers Nearly
$1,000 900 From CreduIous Victims

New York, Feb. 2S.-Alfred f. Lind,
say, accused of swindling society
women out of nearly $1,000,000 in fake
stock deals, today confessed that many
of the charges against him were true,
according to Richard c. Murphy, as
sistant district attorney. Lindsay, a
former stock broker, was arrested last
night at Overbrook. Pa, on an indict-
uent charging grand larceny and was
brought to New York by detectives
Lindsay accepted all blame for the
transactions, Mr.. Murphy said, and de-
clared that when he was exposed in
the newspapers he and his wife dis
cussed the possibilities Of a double
suicide. He broke down and sobbed
while debating his confession to a
s.enographer in the presence of de-
tectives and others in the district at
torney's office, according to Mr.. Muir
ply.
Mr. Murphy said Lindsay frankly ad-
mitted taking money from Mrs. w.
H. Arnold and Mrs. Dorothy Atwood
which he was unable to pay back and
also said he had received large sums
from Mrs. Lillian N. Duke, divorced
wife of Benjamin F. Duke, "the tobac-

PROFESSOR MAY

Decatur, ILL.,, Feb. 2S.-That the 120
million tons of corn cobs and stalks

United States can be made into cyprus

dyes, made into motion picture films,

Darling only recently caused nation.
wide comment by his announcement
that he had been able to obtain alco-
hol from illuminating gas. The alhohol
was obtained in laboratory test To-
day in his address he declared that
alcohol is the fuel of the future, that
the supply is exhaustible while petro-
leum will grow scarce, gasoline high
in price and the coal situation and
supply doubtful.
II am intensely interested in the pro-
ducts to be derived from corn cobs. T"
said Prof. Darling. 1.-THE production
of syrup of xylose from cobs is not
an experiment. 1t is a practical thing.
Xylose is the sugar in the corn. It is
what the cattle and stock want when
they eat corn. By eating the cob they
get but five per cent of the xylose-
the syrup which is for animals,-and
made by treating the cob, gives 25
per cent more. 1t seems practicable
to me that this added syrup should
be used when the cobs are going to
waste.
II expect to simplify the process of
extracting this syrup so that the farm
er can make 1t on his farm. | have
carried my experiments far enough
to know that cattle like it and want
it,"
Referring to the production of dyes
from corn cobs, Mr.. Darling exhibited
a black dye that he had obtained from
furfurol. chemical obtained from
cobs. 1t is a sulphur dye, deep and
fast, and he said that it can be made
profitably.
That cobs have many other uses
was shown in his statement that the
cellulose from them can be made into
material that will serve as a filler
for phonograph records, can be treat
ed and used in the making Of motion

The parade, consisting Of twenty
gorgeous floats, depicting "Romances

residential streets. One hour after the
Rex pageant the Druids' parade of
seventeen floats entitled every mans
heaven" was started.z
In addition to the Rex and Druids
pageants there were numerous small
er parades of carnival organizations.
Today was declared a holiday and
1t was given over to promiscuous
masking and merry-making from early

Kan, March 80, 1920, and testify in
an investigation of a controversy be-
tween employers and employees relat-
ing to working conditions in the coal

ties. The refusal was brought to the
attention of the courts of Kansas and
upon application of the attorney gen.
eral OF the state OF the Crawford
county district court issued an order
requiring them to appear forthwith
before the court of industrial relations
and testify. Howatt and his colleagues
asserted they received no notice what
ever of the order. and therefore we're
given no opportunity to appear. On
the day the order was issued the at
torney general in the state court au-
thorizing the order filed an affidavit
in which he charged Howatt and his
associates with contempt of the order
and with conspiracy to violate it,

Pawnee Indian boy, and one OF Paw

gridiron stars was 80 seriously In
jured yesterday by the accidental dis-
charge OF n pump gun that the acct
dent nearly proved fatal.
Stacy and three companions were
out hunting. The boys split In pairs,
Howell and young Hyson. another
high school football star, being to-
gether. These two returned to their
car for a lunch, Stacy placing his
gun SO that the butt rested against
the right-hand door and the barrel
against the other door. The right
hand door was not fastened securely
and the weight OF the gun forced
II open. As the gun fell out OF the
car the hammer evidently struck
the running board and the discharge
so shattered Howell's right arm that
amputation Just below the shoulder
was necessary.
Hyson called the other two mem.
bers of the party TO his assistance
and Howell was rushed to town
where he was attended promptly by
Doctor Waggoner. but the boys were
delayed by car trouble and Howell
lost so much blood on the way that
his condition was critical when he
reached Pawnee. No complications
developed after the amputation
however. and he is now considered
out OF danger.
