Special Dispa tch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 16.-It takes
a good deal in these days of re-
curing crime waves to shock the
police of the city Of New York, but
they are shocked today. They are
shocked at the revelations of the
man. Frank Benner. who has con-
fessed to strangling one young
woman to death in this city and
attempting to kill another young
woman in Philadelphia. Frank Ben
ner is a low type. Most of the crimes
in the metropolitan district recently
have been traced to degenerates.
Th police, however, have not been
shocked by the revolving details con-
tanned in Benner's confessions.
What has made them gasp is the
readiness with which Benner has OBJ
tanned employment in city after city
without his employers ever having
made any inquiry into his past.
Got Jobs Easily.
This confessed murderer, this
stranger, this madman-even the
police believe him deranged-actu-
ally obtained employment as a cook
In a girls school in Bryn Mawr, Pa
Benner has told the police that
when the impulse comes to him to
attack victim, he is utterly unable
to resist 1t. That is his only excuse.
He says he is fully conscious of the
wrongdoing afterward. but when the
fury Is upon him nothing can stop"it.
While at the school in Bryn Mawn
Benner evidently had the run Of the
place, but fortunately for the women
and girls in the building the only i'm
pulse he had while there was one of
robbery. He entered one Of the girls
rooms and took s125 he found among
her possessions. With this petty
crime accomplished, he left the place.
Beat Nurse Brutally.
Benner's next employment was al
most as amazing. He took a place

Academy and naval proving grounds

tween. the government and the school
authorities of Charles county, was
saved from destruction. as 1t was
built during the war and under exist
ing Law wartime buildings must be
destroyed or otherwise disposed of.
Representative Mudd in endeayor-
Ing toSsave this school obtained a de.
ctsion from the controller general au-
fhorizing the conduct of the school

Forable recommendations for a per-

Charles Mcdowell returned to Daw- son recently from trip to Miller and Glacier Creeks. He reached Miller creek just in time to share in Christ mas festivities there, and was invited to join in the good cheer prevailing. After an elaborate dinner a whist tournament was arranged between the people of upper and lower Miller, in which William Barry and Pat Owens, the upper Miller Creek champions, were the winners.
 In speaking of the mining activities on Miller, MT. Dowell said to a rep resentative of the Dawson News:
 William Barry and Michael Dulin have struck good pay on some bench ground on the upper end of Miller and are taking out good dump.
 Collins and Weinberg are working a crew taking out satisfactory pay, and another crew of men is engaged by them in doing prospecting and de- velopment work.
 "Pat Owens and partner, MT. Gay, are mining on upper Miller, and also have satisfactory pay.
 John Paul, who owns a large block af ground on lower Miller, is making preparations to work it on largeer scale, and is making preparations to install hydraulic plant in the spring. He also contemplates the purchase of Ia Holt caterpillar tractor
 "Jakie Debold has number of claims on Big Gold, near the mouth of Glacier, and is taking out fair pay this winter. He contemplates install ing big scraping plant on his prop erty next summer. Jakie welcomes all corners to his hospitable home and his place is called the "Skinner's Par adise." He is splendid cook, and it is a pleasure to partake of the good cheer he provides.
 "Mr. Greenburg is prospecting on Big Gold. He has not struck pay as yet, but has found encouraging pros poets.
 John Spradley at the old roadhouse near Glacier has mined successfully for several years at that place. He op- crates with a scraping plant and handles large quantity of pay dirt each season.
 Middleton, Bungate and Hunter al- so are operating on Glacier Creek, and are doing we'll on their property.

 "J. T. E. Bridgewater, accountant for Collins, Weinberg and Collins, has nad great success swith his radio re- celv ng set, having picked up messag- es, music, etc., from thirteen broad casting stations. The only serious difficulty he experiences is that his batteries become drained and he is forced to send them to Dawson to be recharged.
