Maryland hills, the girl was muir
dered.
Such, at least, is the theory upon
which Sheriff George Werner. OF
Westminster county, and more
than score of deputies and de-
tectives worked today.
Miss Kaufman came to New York
a year ago. She wore the ill-fitting
garb Of her religious faith. Here
she sought to earn $500 borrowed
to complete her education.
Zone can easily imagine the girl
ish embarrassment she felt as she
saw other girls-girls not so beau
tiful as she," Mrs. Oscar Harn1er,
closest friend Of the slain girl. said
today. Miss Kaufman bought 4
new dress.
1T was a vivid chrome, sleeveless
and low cut.
Dorothy appeared so beautiful
in it, too" Mrs. Harmer added.
Beauty Enraged Fanatic.
It was this beauty, Sheriff Wer-
ner and his aids believe, which sent
q religious fanatic, crazed with
jealousy by his thought that others
might win her heart, into the rage
which blinded him into plunging q
seven-inch knife blade, eight times
into the girls neck and back.
The theory is heightened by the
finding OF a number Of ardent love
letters. written in language couched
in deepest religious tone.
Miss Kaufman never received
attention from a man here" Mrs.
Harner said. IT do not believe
she loved any man. Her whole
mind was set on first earning
enough money to pay off her old
debt, and then to secure a place
as a teacher in the New York
schools"
The original theory Of the author
tiles here that Miss Kaufman was
slain by a negro fiend-a tramp re-
ported IN the neighborhood some
hours before Miss Kaufman met
her death-has been dicounted, fol-
lowing a post-mortem examination
of the girls body.
Garments RiddIed.
Her under garments-they were
Of silk, and like the vivid colored
dress violated the tenets Of her
faith-were ripped to shreds, how
ever.
Nothing was taken from the

ables lay at the, slayer's hand.

The hunt for q possible negro

FRIGHT OR

The office deputy and bookkeeper
of Jack Owens, Nye county's $780,
00e defaulting sheriff, the latter hav-
ing been in hiding in Australia since
1910, publishes a quotation from Edi-
tor Booth, of the Tonopah Bonanza,
saying Booths sympathies are with
him, fright or wrong" Why, err
tainly. Nobody can dispute the word
of such an authority. Where in those
days did Booth borrow the money for
his payroll every Saturday night"
Why shouldn't his sympathies be as
he says they are? And, by the way,
was he the only borrower from Sher-
if Owens? We are inclined to think
that this will sort of end that phase
of the discussion.
But. speaking of dirty articles"
how about that one written by Mr..
Booth when Frank Golden died, say
ing that ii was a good thing he was
dead and it was a fine radiance, all
printed because Golden had sued
Booth for libel?

forty years ago the immigration was

nationality seeking such employment

Under the law there is NJ restric-

are not affected one way or another

Leather pieces that are not badly

oil on fine cloths. Portraits that are
exposed may be wiped very carefully
with q damp cloth, then with a fine
cloth with a wee nit of almond oil.
They should be wiped carefully with

be done quickly and very lightly. Some.

all that 1t is safe to use in cleaning

Religion is o the only purpose for
which people frequent London's great
shrine, st. Paul's cathedral. Many go
there to sleep. When turned out at
six they can go on to st. Martin's-ln-
the-Fields, which is open all night.
Only devotional books are supposed
to be read, but the Sergers are con-
stantly finding visitors reading pop
ular novels. Others try to eat their
lunch there, which is also forbidden.
A number of lunatics wander into the
building from time to time. Most Of
them are quite harmless. Sometimes
visitors try leaving their luggage there
for an hour or two and are upset to
find it stolen. One of the attractions
of st. Paul's is Holman Hunts picture,
'The Light of the World" which was
once exhibited in Canada. In the
crypt underneath, near the tombs Of
Nelson, Wellington, Roberts and Scott,
Is a bust of Sir John A. Macdonald,

OLD GUARD QUARREL
carson Appeal)

While the republican press of the
state is frantically trying to disrupt
democratic good feeling at the capital
by the creation OF stories regarding
the state prison board, Carson social
events and whatnot, it is overlook
ing a splendid fight in it's W back
yard.
There is seemingly no attempt by
United States District Attorney
George Springmeyer on one hand and
Prohibition Director Donnelly and
United States Marshal Jake Fulmer
on the other to hide the discord that
saturates the federal departments of
which they are the heads in Nevada.
Their attractions are not ~sideshows.
They are main tent performers.
Nothing has come Of Springmey-
er's trip to Washington so far nor of
his threat that either Captain Don
nelly or he should resign his posi-
ton. The attorney recently called
upon the marshal to police some re-
sorts that were suspected of selling
Liquor in Reno, however, and the
marshal literally snapped his fingers
in Springmeyer's face, for now he has
handed the district attorney ar opin-
ion from Attorney General Daugher-
tvs office to the effect that Fulmer
doesn't have to police the resorts, and
if any one is to do it it must be the
federal prohibition director for Ne
vada or his deputies.
And that's that.
Mr.. Donnelly will probably hear
from Mr.. Springmeyer regarding the
policing of certain resorts in Reno.
Maybe he will not.
