The first step in the making of

This is done by insulating machines.
which wrap the paper tape around
the wire in the form of a continu-

These machines put on about 2.40o
wraps" or turns in minute. Each
wire must be completely covered
with paper throughout it's entire
length. so that it cannot touch any
other wire in the cable. If two of
the wires touch each other even at
a single point, telephone circuit
is ruined. Various colored papers
are used in order to identify the
two wires of each pair. and also GER
tain groups of pairs in the finished
cable.
Wires Made Into Core
The insulated wires are then twist
ed into pairs. After the wires are
paired. they are formed into cable
by the stranding machine. This ma
chine consists of number, of re-
volving drums. which look like
enormous skeleton spoolS. On the
outer part of these drums are ar
ranged the reels containing the pairs
of wire. The center pair or pairs
of wires are drawn into the mach

rotating in opposite directions, apply
the remaining pairs in reverse lay

LOVE TANGLE ENDS
IN DOUBLE KILLING
Husband Stays Wife, Wounds
Two in Locked Bathroom,
and Kills Himself.
BY the Associated Press.

RANDOLPH, n. Y, December 25.-
Two elopements, a divorce and an alb
duction, in all of which the same girl
figured, were disclosed today in con-
nection with a domestic tragedy here
yesterday. Peter McLarney killed his
young wife, shot her mother and
brother. then killed himself.
Mrs. Grace Anderson, mother-in-
law OF the slayer, and her son John
are expected to recover from bulle
wounds inflicted by McLarney while
he had them locked in bathroom
after he had taken the life Of his
wife, Dorothy Anderson McLarney.
McEsarney and the girl were sweet
hearts Ave years ago. She was the
17year-old daughter Of the late
Clarence A. Anderson, then president
of the Randolph Furniture Co. He
was the son of Owen McLarney
superintendent in the furniture
works.
Marriage Is AnnulIed.
In September, 1920, they eloped to
jamestown, married and kept it a
secret. The girlwife went to Dana
Hall, a Massachusetts, School, to pre-
pare for Wellesley College, and her
21-year-old husband remained in
Randolph.
But the secret leaked out Mrs.
Anderson had the marriage annulled
because her daughter was under age.
BY the time of the Christmas school
holidays, however, the girl was of
age, so she and McLarney again
eloped to Jamestown and again were
married by the same clergyman who
performed the first ceremony.
Within a year the romance faded.

placed in the care of its maternal
grandmother When a divorce was
granted Mrs. McLarney last fall she
entered Pratt Institute as a student.
Abiuets Former Wife.
McLarney found her in New York
several weeks ago. He urged her to
remarry him. When she refused, ac-
cording to authorities, he forcibly re-
moved her to a hotel in New Jersey,
kept her there all night and left her
the next day, a prisoner IN the hotel.
He was charged with Mann act vio-
lation for that episode. and was out
on $4,000 bail, pending the action OF
a Federal grand jury at New~York.
The former Mrs. McLafney came
from New York to spend Christmas
with her mother. While the young
woman WAS CdbiHs dl tHc hoiho u
Mrs. William Atchison, McLarney en-
tered andl>s shot his former wife to
death with five pistol bullets.
Then he went to the home of his
and shot her and her
son after locking himself in the bath
room with them.
Deputy Sheriff Bragg appeared and
ordered McLarney to surrender. A
shot through the bathroom door was
the answer. 1t started a duel, which
ended when Bragg crashed the door
and found McLarney dead with a bull
let through the head. q pistol in one
hand and a stiletto in the other. The
coroner filed a certificate Of suicide.
The authorities investigation devel-
oped that McLarney used narcotics
and recently had an operation for ap-
pendicitis.

LINERS, RAIDED, YIELD
LIQUOR AND 8 ARRESTS
Silk Valued at $15O,OOO, Lottery
Tickets and Curios Seized on
President Cleveland.
BY the Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, December 25.-
Two liners were raided at Pacific
ports yesterday by Federal agents
and a quantity of liquor and other
articles seized and three men ar
rested.
Federal agents seized 80 bottles Of
whisky aboard the President Cleve-
land when the ship arrived at Homo
lulu from the Orient, according to
reports received here. The agents
also seized silks valued at $150,OOO,
Chinese lottery tiok cts, shawls and
curios valued at $4,000, which it was
alleged were not on the ships mani
fest. E. NJ. Burian, chief steward,
was taken into custody.
The raid is believed to be the out
growth of the recent indictment of
four customs officers, two of whom
have pleaded guilty on charges Of
receiving $500 each for permitting a
trunk to be brought ashore without
inspection last May. The other seizure
was on the coastwise vessel Ruth
Alexander of the Pacific Steamship
Co., in San Francisco harbor. Pro-
hibition officers seized a quantity of
liquor and arrested Frank B. Hale,
ships electrician, and Nathan Sherras,
q civilian.

DENVER, Colo, December 25.-Mil-
ton Henry Hall, two decades ago one
of the best known of the black-f faced
minstrel comedians and the man who
wrote Down Where the Cotton Bios
SONS Grow" and the Cuban Star
March," was buried here yesterday
with only four mourners at his grave.
When Hall stepped down from his
pinnacle of fame 90 years ago amid
the plaudits Of admiring thousands
who had laughed at and with him, he
began a new career which left him
at the bottom Of life's ladder,
The last IL years he spent as a
dishwasher in a Denver hotel, and
when he died Monday. in the Gem
eral Hospital, there was none at the
hospital who knew of his early career.
Not until he was buried yesterday
did his identity become publicly
known. At one time Hall was an in
innate friend of the late Lew Dock
stader and A. G. Fields.
