BY DEMENTED YOUTH
aaENRY jacob, A PALE FACE
=. INOFFENSIvE LAD CONFESSES
HE KILLED HER BY, HITTING
HER ON HEAD WITH HAMMER
FRACTURlNG SKULL.

London, March 21.-Henry Jacob,
10 year old pantry boy at the hotel
where Lady Alice White was fatally
injured last Monday night was ar

mans hammer. She va found I'M
conscious In her room Tuesday morn
ing and died the next day. Her skull
had been fractured.
Lady White was the widow Of Sir
Edward White, late chairman of the
London county council and was be-
tween 50 and 60 years old In a lucid
moment after her injury she declar-
I'd a burglar had entered the room
and struck her.
Jacob is a p~ale-faced youth, quiet
and i~noffensive in appearance. he
had been employed in the hotel only
a few days prior to the murder. H1
work consisted principally Of wash
ing crockery and cleaning plate. In
his spare time, he said, he read a
number of cheap novels, many of
the detective type. :
Since the death Of his mother thir-
teen years ago he has been mainly
cared for by his grandmother, a'frail
little old lady who lives in the East
part Of London. His father is en-
ployed as a bar man.
No evidence was revealed in court
to indicate the reason for Jacobs
act. The detective who arrested him
testified, and then the youth offered
to pick out from the number>of ham,
mers brought into court the one
with which Lady White was killed.
He picked up one, saying he recog-
mixed it by a dent which he observed
while washing the blood from it. he
was rennanded for one week.

The proposed merger, it was said,
specifically aims at elimination Of
needless building of new theaters,
overlapping of existing ones and ex-
hibitions in the same city of similar
types of attractions simultaneously.
The theaters would be booked under
centralized management I'd avoid
such conflicts and resultant heavy
losses. Smaller cites would be allow

said. J

Washington March 17.--This CON

Democrats charge, as result, that
this is a "do nothing, congress.
But in some respects, it is ex.

there is the matter Of bill introduc.
tions. Not many bills Of importance
have been enacted, but many have
been introduced. G
Here is the score:
House bills, 10,765; house joint
resolutions, 1882; house resolutions,
2s9. The total is 11,s45. Each mem
Der, if the average be allowed, has
sponsored 81 attempts at legislation.
This is a record for a session Of no
greater length than the present.
But the senate outpoints the
