Betty Callaghan and her bronze
Kewpie doll still are among the miss

forfeited here, her bondsman forced
to "come across" with $500. Now
there is new charge against the wo-

police here have been connecting with
other cities in the state in an effort
to locate her and Kewpie, too.
Betty was arrested here at the same
time as Morris Hubert, her alleged
partner at the time, who is now IN the
county jail awaiting trial at the next
term. of court on statutory charge
in which the woman was named. Bet
ty was also charged with statutory
offense, but she succeeded in finding
someone who gave bonds for her and
these having been secured, she skip
ped. Her attorney sought in vain to
locate her. At one time she was sure
" in Illinois; little later the at
torney was convinced that she was in
La Crosse, out she was never definite
ly located.
La Crosse Tries to Help.
Chief Logan informed La crosse OF
the charge pending against Betty here
and has been promised cooperation
This morning Chief Logan received
Lester from Chief Weber of the La
Cross police, reading as follows:
with regard to Betty Callaghan,
out detective department has searched
every restaurant and rooming house in
the city and has been unable to locate
this woman. l am enclosing a postal
picture of a woman known here as
Ruth Lee. alias Ruth Duffy, alias Mrs.
Duffy Peterson; she left here some
time ago but if she should prove to
be the one you are looking for, we
may be able to locate her. Kindly re-
turn the picture as we have agreed to
return it to the owner from whom it
was obtained"
The picture of Ruth Duffy does not
correspond with the description here
Of the lady of the Kewpie, and the
quest for Betty still continues.

EXPECT WRITS SOON

Chicago-Hearing by the grand jury
of evidence concerning the death of
Robert Franks, school boy, was re-
sumed today, and the return of indlct-
ments against Richard Loeb, Is, and
Nathan Leopold, Jr., 10, is expected
late tomorrow. States Attorney Rob-
ert E. Grove is seeking indictments
on. charges og kidnapping for ransom
and murder against each boy. Pres
entation of evidence was expected to
hold sessions of the grand jury be-
tween 200 o'clock this afternoon and
late hour tomorrow.
Richard Loeb is reported to have
said to the assistant states attorneys:
81 have money, my people have money,
don't you suppose we will have a
smart lawyer to get us out 2" With
that in mind. the state is taking
unusual precautions.
Claims Statements Signed.
The states attorney today corrected
an impression that the prisoners con-
fession was not signed. He explained
that although the stenographic notes
of the confession, had not been trans
cribed, "each page of the story was
read to the boys, corrected and then
signed by them" 1t is expected that
this confession will be read to the
grand jury after the last witness has
been called. Fifteen witnesses were
to be called this afternoon. They in
cluded the workman who found the
body, the men who took it from the
culvert and certain students named by
Leopold, according to the state, as
owning such typewriter as that on
which Leopold had written certain let
tiers compared by typewritting experts
with the ransom letter. Leopold is re-
ported to have said before confessing
! that these letters and papers were
written on borrowed typewriters. De-
inial by the students named, that they
owned typewriters, strengthened of
! fetal doubt of the boys story and the
belief that the ransom letter had been
written on his machine.
Blood Found In Car.

floor of the car the boys rented, the
day of the murder, according to De-
/ tective William Shoemaker.

COPPER DRAGON OF BEFFRoI
TwelVe-Foot Weather Vane In Ghent
Celebrates Its Five Hundred and
Forty-Sixth Anniversary.

The Copper Dragon of BefrOi, in
Client, has just celebrated its five
hundred and fOrty-sixth birthday on
the top of its lofty perch on the Beff-
rOl, over 300 feet above the ground. It
is six feet in height and eleven and
One-half feet in length, measured from
the tip of its enormous tongue to the
end of its tail.
The copper grasshOpper atop
Faneuil hall, Boston, was designed by
Shem browne, a cOppersmith of colo
nlal days. Over $50 years old, It has
had an interesting history, being pres
ent at the Boston tea party and hav-
ing survived two earthquakes.
Perhaps the public tired of gauging
the wind by the weather report in
next days newspaper; or perhaps the
ornamental possibilities of this new
idea In vane design have given a new
FLIP to the use of this time-hOnored
institution. Whatever the reason, the
weather vane Is coming back.
