CALUMET AVE. HAS
NEW RIVAL SINCE
COLUMBIA REVIVED

Now that the actual construction
of the Columbia ave. pavement has
commenced. it behoves Calumet ave
bestir themselves.
Columbia ave. will have the same
kind of pavement as Calumet ave
two 15-foot strips Of concrete with
20-foot center The contractors
expect to finish the pavement from
Standard ave to Michigan ave. this
fall and from Michigan ave to Cost
lin st. in the spring.
There Is little doubt but that the
Jones & Laughlin steel plant viii
have one of its main gates fronting
on Columbia ave. at Gostlin st. and
this Will throw a great stream of
traffic over that thoroughfare.

velopment in business corners and
residential property.

bia ave.'s greatest asset is the East

ton. of which Sam Skufakiss is the
president. That association has all
the pep and fire of gattling gun.

citation has only started.
Calumet ave. would be surprised
to see a modern office building on
Columbia ave. wouldn't It? But do
you know that back In the corner
of his head. this smart Sam Skufa-
kiss has the idea to put up a ten
story modern office building at Co.

Watch East Hammond and watch

|RREGU[AR|TY IN
THE LOCAL MARKET
Interest Centered In tho Penna
R. R. Dividend Meeting
This Afternoon

Possibly the more interesting story
of today's local market and the hap.
penings in the local financial world will
be told after this edition goes to press.
That is concerning the action Of the
Pennsylvania directors on the quarterly
dividend to be declared this afternoon.
The declaration of the extra / per cent
by the Norfolk and Western yester-
day buoyed up the hopes of those who
have been banking on the directors to
restore the long established per cent
rate. The company undoubtedly Is
sufficiently rich In cash to do 1t, but 1t
IS a question for the board to decide.
The stock opened strong at 40. or with
in 4 of the years top price. Later the
quotation fell back to 4SSs, but that
In large measure was due to the re.
dictionary condition Of practically all
the security markets as result Of the
Enthusiastically er-extent long account.
Trading in the general list during the
morning did not amount TO much. Prices
were irregular, but altogether the mar
kct showed somewhat stcadier tone
than it did yesterday. Dealings were
of n small caliber, and in virtually any
of tho local stocks did the total for the
forenoon reach material proportions.
American Stores held ground better
in fact, made n point gain on light
sales.
In some of the recent active fnvorites
Eisenlohr issues, for instance. the de-
mand was found limited. There was,
in consequence. further decline Of n
point in the common TO &c. or Just 10
points under the top prices made last
week. The preferred also lost "a at 90.

Scrubavomor, With Ne,v Murder
Version, Bursts Into Hall Case
says hector Hired Her to Care for Farmhouse and
one saw Him and Mrs. Mills Seized and Car
ried OFF; Probably Joking, Adds Lawyer

Entering the Hall-Mills murder
mystery as dramatically as Mrs. Jane
Gibson, who rode into the limelight
astride her mule three weeks ago. a
scrubwoman, or pseudo scrubwomlan,
came forward yesterday, volunteering
an entirely new explanation Of the
mystery.
So far nothing has developed to sup
port the story told by Mrs. Anna Han
ION. She says, in effect, that the mur-
der party consisted Of young Ameri-
can, coatless, hatless- and clean -shaven,
wearing sleeveless sport shirt and
o!ack tie; girl of twenty, pretty,
biue-eyed blonde no taller than five
iees, wearing a tan coat and minus
nat ,and two swarthy young men,
seemingly Italians, wearing dark suits
and caps pulled over their eyes.
She tells a fantastic story Of her
presence on tho Phillips farm on the
night of the crime, saying that she
had been employed since last March
to clean the house once or twice
month for Mr.. Hall, and woman whom
she thought to be Mrs. Hall, but now
knows to have been Mrs. Mills. She
bandit party broke IN, bound the pair
to kill them, she says.
Calls Mrs. Gibson's Story "Lies"
Mrs. Hanlon is plainly another addi-
tion to the long list of wholly extraor-
binary characters who have entered
this case from time to time. She sug-
gests Mrs. Gibson in several ways, al
though she insists that the farm wom-
ans story Is pack of lies" Like her.
she speaks German fuently. Like her,
she is vigorous personality, quick to
show signs Of temper. But where Mrs.
Gibson is cultured and educated, Mrs.
Hanlon can neither read nor write. AL.
tEs1gh she insists she was glad to earn
$3o month cleaning the Phillips
farmhouse, she is building preten-
tious house in Sherwood Avenue,
Queens Village, L. l., and is trying to
meet the mortgages that are falling
due. Her husband, James Hanlon, is
a cook on one of the ships Of the
Ccastwise Transportation Company
and is away at sea most of the time.
After her story appeared in Brook
lyn paper yesterday Mrs. Hanlon had
conference during the afternoon with
her lawyer, William c. Daily, of 217
broadway. Last night Mr.. Daily said:
Il knew nothing about all this until
reporters came to me. Mrs. Hanlon
conferred with me this afternoon and
| am convinced that the whole story
is mistake and that there is nothing
to it. She probably said something in
jest that was greatly magnifed. l am
sure she knows nothing of the Hall
case, and, as far as know, she never

To Woman Held
AS Arch Poisoner.
Bodies of Former Husbands
and Foes To BE Exlaumeti;
Chicago Neighbors i'm
Panic Over Disclosures
speesal Dispatch to 1ha Tribune

CHICAGO, Nov. PA pail of fear
has fallen over the neighborhood
where Mrs. Tillie Klimek and her
cousin, Mrs. stermer-Koulik, reside
since the revelations of their alleged
poison activities. Children scurry
home before dark, and the elders,
chiefly German and Polish people, do
not remain out much later.
The bodies Of two men and woman
we're exhumed last night. and bodies of
three children will be taken up early
Monday. The organs Of all will be ex-
amined for poison. The authorities be-
lieve the death list will run to twelve
or more. Briefly, the record of Mrs.
Klimek shows the following:
Her present husband, Joseph Xii
mex, Lies dangerously iii of arsenical
poison which she admits she admins
tered.
In 1918 she was married to her first
known husband, Joseph Mitkiewitcz.
They quarreled continually. On Jan
uary 13, 1914, he died unexpectedly,
leaving $1,000.
During the latter years Of their
marriage, the couple lived with Mrs.
Frances Zakrewski, an aunt Of the
woman. Mrs. Klimek and her aunt
quarreled violently. The three chill
dren Of the aunt, Helen, Stanley and
Stella, died suddenly.
In 1914, little more than a month
after her first husband died, the
| woman. was married to John Rusz-
! kaksky.. He died three months later
leaving 1900 in cash and $772 insur-
ance.
Immediately after his death the
widow became interested in John
Guszkowski, who took her or trip to
Milwaukee. When they returned she
asked him 70 marry her. He laughed
| at the proposition and died following
dinner she gave him.
| In 1919 she was married to Frank
| Kupczyk, and to celebrate the union
| she gave an elaborate dinner. Mrs
Chudzinski, q neighbor, spoke in a
suspicious manner of the mysterious
deaths Of the woman's former husbands
There were sharp words, but Mrs
Chudzinski remained for the wedding
feast. She was stricken by mysteri-
GUS illness that night and died three
days later. Kupczyk, the husband, died
in April, 1921. His body has been ex-
humed and found to contain arsenic
enough to kill several people.
