SULPHUR is BEST
TO CLEAR UP UGLY,
BROKEN OUT SKIN

Any breaking out or skin irritation

quickest by applying Mentho- Sulphur,

of its germ destroying properties, Moth

place of this sulphur preparation that
instantly brings ease from the itching,
burning and irritation.

MILLION INV CLAIMS LIKELY

CITES LOEB-LEOPOLD 7.
 IN ASKING CLEMENCY
Condemned Chicago Youth Says He Was Only 19
 at Time of Crime

Chicago, Sept. 16.--Shortly before Bernard Grant, sentenced to hang October IT, for murder, was asked to sign a petition to Governor Len Small, pleading for clemency, his attorney received 8 telegram today from Dr. Agnes Lewis of St. Cloud, Minn., stating that the citizens of St. Cloud would petition the Illinois governor to spare Grants life.
 The movement was started after Judge John R. Caverly sentenced Nathan Leopold, Jr., and Richard Loeb, to life Imprisonment for mur- der.
 The petition which Grants lawyer will ipail to the governor probably tomorrow. will not be simply senti- mental appeal based on the action in the Leopold-Loeb case, but the at torney said he would cite the facts in the esee. that Walter Krauser, un- der a death sentence with Grant for the murder of Ralph souders, a pol iceman, had repudiated his first statement duplicating Grant and now states that Grant had nothing to do with the holdup of tea and coffee store in which souders was killed! n
 Grant claims he was 1s when the crime vt canmitted-the same age as Leopold and Loeb. Krauser also asserts he was only 19. Grants ap- peal to the supreme court was re- fused. and his only hope for escape from the gallows Is action by the governor. KrAuser has an appeal pending before the supreme court
 Grants mother Is q widow. He was reared in the district near the stock yards. It is not charged that he fired the fatal shot--that was charg- ed against Krauser-but he Is alleg- cd to have participated.

Victim Is Friend of Mur- dered King and

New York. Sept. 16.--Edith Bobe, designer of frocks for the murdered Dorothy King and Louise Lawson, Broadway Butterflies" early today was robbed of s25,O00 worth of jew els by four bandits who operated similarly to those who victimized her one time patrons. ''
 The bandits waylaid Miss Bobe and an escort whose name has not been divulged when they returned to her apartment in the fashionable East Sixties after g. cabaret party. Thep previously had trussed up and gagged Miss Bobe's maid, negress, and ransacked the apartment. When the womans' escort protested as they snatched a $10,000 necklace from her he was hit over the head with a pistol but and robbed of his watch and s200. 1T A
 A veil of mystery waS tlifown about the affair by the couple, Miss Bobe refusing, to give the police a description of her stolen gems and her escort hiding himself in anony- mity, merely declaring that he was a member of the Lambs club and Miss Bobe's friend"
 The bandits, armed but unmasked greeted the pair as they entered the apartment. They led them to the kitchen, where they found the maid Marie Caspen, securely bound and with the end of blanket stuffed into her mouth. After silencing the escorts protests, the four stripped bracelets and rings from Miss Bobe's arms and fingers, told them to ''keer your mouths shut" and leisurely walked away,

Special Investigation Committee Reports lmpossibiity Of Re-
 organizing Institution Wrecked By Gilpatric.
Actual Defalcations About Half Million, With s2OO,-
 900 More Lost on Worth.
 less Notes.

Putnam, Sept. 1e.--Reofganizatio ton of the First National bank of which G. Harold Gllpatric was the cash fer, Is deemed impractical and very impossible, by a subcommittee of the protective committee of stock holders in 8 statement made today to the full committee. There was also in statement an expression of belief that when the affairs of Gill; patric are brought up for court re- view 1t will be found that the claims will amount to or exceed a million dollars. The subcommittee, how ever, says that the defalcations in the bank are not likely to exceed $b00,000 with an additional $2O0, 900 represented as shortage through bad loans and worthless notes, mak- ing the total involvement of Gilpat- ric in the banks finances $7OO, 900 as previously stated.
 Sub- Committee Personnel
 The subcommittee which made the report to the full committee was made up of John B. Byrne, the state bank examiner, Nathan D. Prince, president of the Windham County National bank, yice-preNdent of the Hartford Connecticut Trust Co.,, and personally a stockholder, and John F. Carpenter. The statement says in part that the schedule of notes was submitted to the representative of the comptroller, H. H. Mckee of Washington D. C.. and in the opin- ion of the committee the defalca- tons toegther with worthless loans amount to such sum that 1t win be unwise for the stockholders to make the venture of taking over the assets of the bank, especially as there may. be further liabilities which have not yet been disclosed. Defalcations Staggering
 The statement goes on to say that the actual defalcations seem to be greatly in excess of the doubtful and worthless loans. A very considerable recovery might be realized from the questionable loans but the defalca- tons are staggering" The committee says 1t is inform ed that the estate of Gilpatric may be turned over to the bank ruptcy court for the benefit of his creditors including the bank. The committee does not believe 1t prac- tical to find purchaser for his es- tate subject to the equities as sug- gested by the representative of the comptroller.
 By examination of the bank the statement goes on to say it cannot be seen that the defalcations as re- lated to the bank will exceed the $7o0,0O0 previously mentioned. The committee believes more than $60o,- 600 additional funds would be re-
