Latest Word From Missouri
Says Wounded Girl Is
Near Death.
TANGLED LOVES INVOLVED
Sister Here Named in Divorce
Suit in Which Protector
Is Defendant.

A bullet alleged to have been
fired from a revolver in the hands
Of Roy Harper Kuehling probably
has stilled forever the voice Of
his bride of ten months, but has
revealed-a sordid tale of heroism,
romance, the eternal triangle,
divorce and tragedy.
Spurned by the girl with whom
he eloped to Rockville, Nd, on
December Is, 1921, Kuehling shot
her early Friday morning, it is
alleged, while she lay asleep at
the home of her parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. John Whitesell, ten miles
south of Eldorado Springs, Mo.
Kuehling fled the place and hid
beneath a pile of hay in a barn.
He was found some hours later
by the county sheriff and feeling
ran so high that he was spirited
away to the Nevada, Mo-, Jail to
prevent violence.
Jealousy Seen AS Motive.
In the meantime his bride, be-
lieved mortally wounded, lies at the
point OF death in the Eldorado
Springs Hospital. She has made no
statement.
All statements from the girls
family have been that the shooting
was caused by the husbands jeal-
ousy, but no one appears to be able
to name the man concerned and
Kuehling has declined to make any
statement whatever.

SHORTAGE Of COAL
A MYTH. SAYS FORD
Hoover, |. c. c., and Brokers in
Conspiracy to SwindIe Peo-
pie, He Charges.
BY ALLAN L. BENSON,
Staff Correspondent Of the International
News Service.

Service.)
DETROIT, Mich, Sept: 23.-
Henry Ford returned from the coal
regions along the Ohio river today
with the scalps of the coal brokers
hanging to his belt.
"We bought coal from the
brokers'" he said, "for 81 a ton less
than they paid for it, and could have
bought it for less if we had cared
to jam them"
Ford blames the brokers, the
Interstate Commerce Commission
and Secretary Hoover for the coal
situation that caused him to shut
down.
No Shortage, He Says.
There Is no shortage OF coal"
said Ford. nor has there been. On
the contrary. there is enough coal
above ground to last the country
a year, with economy. Coal brokers
simply engineered a squeeze in
an attempt to plunder the country.
There was so much coal above
ground that in order to prevent
competitors from battering down
prices, the conspirators obtained an
naIA hn Int NoN
merce Commission that restricted
the shipment of coal to automo.
bile industries on the ground that
such Industries were 'non-essen-
tial.'
"As soon as we closed our plants
public sentiment began to concen.
trate upon the coal situation, with
the result that those who control
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion caused the ban that had been
placed upon coal shipments to be
removed. The moment the ban was
removed the price of coal came
clattering down. We bought coal
at $3.50 ton, and were offered
all we wanted at $3.50 II we would
make a contract for n year. But
we make no contracts for coal.
Coal will be less than 81 at the
mine within a year.
Anybody who buys more coal
than he needs for the moment is
a fool. and this applies to house.
holders as we'll as to manufac.
turers. People who fill their Gel.
lars in the fall help the brokers to
maintain robber prices.
THE mine owners are not to
blame for the coal situation. The

Mystery Girl
In BrysOn Trial
Not Identified

HUNTINGDON, Pa, Sept.23.
THE trial of DR.. Bryson
= was concluded without
establishing the identity Of
the mysterious blonde woman
who created such a furore
when she first appeared In
the court room the opening
day.
Throughout the trial she
sat within a few feet of DIR.
Bryson. Whether she came
to the trial out of the past.
or was brought in by the de-
fense as part of a theatrical
setting, may never be known.

HUNTINGDON, Pa, Sept. %.
DIR. Herbert J. Bryson, former
Washington physician and war
hero, was found guilty of MUIR
der in the second degree on the
charge of Staying Mrs. Helen
Irene Haines, wife Of a Washing
ton chauffeur.
The jury deliberated two hours
and twelve minutes. The verdict
was reached at 4:30 o'clock. The
verdict carries a penitentiary
sentence of not more than
twenty years. DIR. Bryson is
forty-one years old. 4
Bell Announces Verdict.
When the Verdict sealing DR.. Bry'
sons fate was reached. the town OF
Huntingdon was appraised by the
tolling of the courthouse bell.
Seats in the courtroom filled
rapidly.
DIR. Bryson was at the Jail when
the ringing OF the bell announced a
verdict had been reached.
His aged mother, Mrs. Elizabeth
Bryson. and his sister. Mrs, Laura
B. Randall, were among the first
to arrive at the bar Of justice.
The mother struggled to remain
calm in spite Of the emotions OF
fear and hope which clutched at her
heart.
As the jury filed in, the court
was called to order.
Have you reached a verdict7"'
the court asked.
1--WE have" the jurors replied.
Thomas Brant, the foreman. then
arose and announced the verdict.
Numerous Ballots Taken.
Such a verdict indicated that the
jury did not believe DR.. Bryson
insane at the time Mrs. Haines
was slain.
Numerous ballots were taken be-
fore the twelve men agreed.
II DIR. Bryson expected acquittal
because of insanity, his manner did
not indicate it when the verdict
was announced.
He remained slouched forward in
his chair, with eyes downcast. He
did not even look at the men who
held his destiny in their hands.
His mother put her hand to her
eyes as the verdict was given. The
dread which had been clutching
at her heart was gone and there
was only sorrow and her memories
as she gazed wistfully at the bent
figure Of her boy, gray-haired and
broken, as the sheriff led him
away to prison.
Mrs. Bryson and Mrs. Randall
have not given up their fight for
DR.. Bryson's acquittal.
Motion For New Trial.
William Wallace, Chisholm and
Harry W. Petrikin, counsel for the
defense, filed a motion for a new
trial.
DIR. Bryson cannot be convicted
Of a higher crime than murder In
the second degree, and his mother
and sister believe that a new trial
would lessen the sentence.
In addresses to the jury States
attorneys attributed the crimo to
jealousy. But Judge Bailey, in
charging the jury, called attention
of the jury to the fact that there was
nothing in the evidence to indicate
such a motive.
Mrs. Bryson and Mrs. Randall, tho
physicians mother and sister, would
make no statement tonight concern
ing the outcome OF the trial, but Il
was evident that they are relieved
now that the specter of the electric
chair has been dispelled from theh
minds.

MINEOLA, N. Y, Sept. 23.-Six
persons in a Martin bomb plane wert
killed here tonight when the aero.
plane struck the ground at the end
OF a nose dive.
The machine carried n pilot and
five passengers. The accident came
as a climax Of a flying circus here.
The pilot Of the machine was First
Lieut.. Raymond E. Davis OF the
regular army.
Machine Bursts Into Flames.
The machine burst into flames
when it struck the ground.
Lieutenant Davis, with the big
twin.motor bomber, the heaviest
machine here, had participated with
the attacking forces in n night air
raid over theoretical Notifications.
The attack was made with dyna,
mite bombs and was successful. The
theoretical Notifications were de.
molished.
AT the conclusion Of the maneu.
vers. before a gallery of $4,000
persons and including many motion
picture operators, the flyers en-.
gagged in a flying circus lighted by
the huge searchlights. After this. "A
number OF planes took up passen.
gers. selected principally from
among the five hundred reserve Of.
ficers of the Second Corps area, for
whose benefit the war problem
was being worked out.
Both Motors Wide Open.
Lieutenant Davis took up five
passengers in his big machine.
While some distance up, the ma.
chine went into a nose dive out OF
which Davis apparently was un'
able to pull it. The machine struck
the ground with both motors wide
open. Instantly 1t burst into
flames.
Following raid" over theoreti.
cal Notifications in which the at
tacking party demonstrated how
easy aircraft could destroy fortifi.
cations, the planes descended and
offered to take up passengers.
Lieutenant Davis selected five men,
all of whom are believed to be
members of the second corps re.
serve, and quickly scared out OF
sight although several powerful
searchlights were trained on him.
Identification Is Difficult.
Suddenly his machine turned into
a nose dive. Positive Identification
of the passengers was made diff
cult due to their burns.
Lieutenant Davis was known as
one OF the most expert Of fliers
here. It is believed he lost con-
troll Of the plane when he hit un
"air pocket" which turned the ma
chine on end. His plane was the
heaviest in any Of the hangers
here.

The Washington times., 1922-09-24

The Greeks in their day, the
Fungarians at Budapest, the
French under Charles. were all
true servants of civilization, as
each in turn kept Asia out of
Europe.
And England, taking up the
challenge Of the new Turkey,
with her old familiar, "We've
got the men, we've got the
ships. we've got the money,
too" puts herself on the side
of civilization and Of the
worlds progress.
If there is any cause outside
this continent in which this
nation should take an interest,
It is the cause Of England as a
defender of Europe against
Asia.
Asiatics or Europeans will
rule this earth. Asiatic rule
would mean mental death and
stagnation. European rule
means science, civilization and
progress. And they are worth
whatever they may cost.
Our stock exchanges. re-
membering how they were
closed when the last war start
ed, feel shivery about a new
war, don't want it, seem in
clined to put away money
rather than buy stocks.
That seems foolish, for this
war, if it comes, will be a
war entirely for good.
In the last war civilization
fought civilization, wealth
destroyed wealth, our friends
all suffered.
Barring the uncertain Rus
sian element, a war between
Turkey and England would not
last long or interfere much with
the world.
The Turks would learn that
the English had added a com.
manding fleet in the air to the
fleet on the water. Both fleets
at once would be busy with the
- Turks, and the thing should not
last-BARRING Russia.
In Russia lies the danger.
England, at first, like this and
other foolish countries, did
everything to injure Russia,
starving her people, antagoniz-
ing her government. 1t seems
too much to hope that Russia
will miss the opportunity for
revenge.
But British diplomacy is real
diplomacy. England knows how
to negotiate, how to promise.
What spectators in panic will
do, nobody knows. But the
chances are ten to one that Eng
lands war against Turkey in
defense of European civilization
would not injure anybody here,
or in England either.

Why Jews Succeed. Il
BY ARTHUR BRISBANE

War between England and
Turkey is still probable. Turks
are hard fighters, have always
the same leader, Mohammed, and
actually BELIEVE in him. They
believe he wants his religion
spread over all the earth, and
that sword and torch are his
favorite propaganda.
Trying to. cover the earth
with the Koran, which an intelli-
gent Jew is said to have written
for him, Mohammed has had
many setbacks. England, luck
lily for the world, seems deter
mined to check Mohammed once
more.
The history of the last $500
years has been a history Of
struggle between Asia and Eu-
rope.
At Poictiers in 1872, Charles
the Hammer struck a blow that
gave Europe safety for CEN
turtles. Then came the Crusades,
which Guizot interprets as Eu-
ropes effort to carry back into
Asia the war that Asia had
carried into Europe. In that
effort the Christians were badly
beaten and until recently the
Turks ruled in Jerusalem and
Incidentally kept the different
kinds Of Christians from FIGHT
