Power Of Starlight

Astronomers now say that the total
light of all the stars seen from the
earth is about one eighth Of the light
Of the full moon. The brightest of the
stars is Sirius. The blotting out of any
of the orbs of what is known as the
sixth magnitude" that is the smallest
would lessen our starlight by one
twentieth, which indicates how much
the brilliancy of clear evenings is in
debted to billions of these mere points
of light.

GH0STLY FRANKS IN
HOUSE ROUT BRIDE
Bed Covers Pulled Of Pair
by Unseen Visitor.

that Is pulling the covers of sleepers
here these cold nights, and the people
of Marion are very much astir about 1t.
Perhaps little attention would be paid
to the reports thar are so current as
to what is taking place were 1t not for
the fact that they come from q family
of such high standing in the con-
munity as the Mehl family, who are
early settlers in the county and who
have accumulated fortunes untfl tlaeix
land holdings Include many acres of
immense value.
Out on the lone Kansas prairdes, four
miles east Of here, stands an old stone
house built 40 years ago BY yeff Terry.
an early settler. At that time the fine
two-story structure was the pride Of
the community, but today 1t is perhaps
the most talked OF house In that part
Of the state
It is said that the builder Of this
house, who lived there a number Of
years, accumulated a great deal Of
wealth He was close In his dealings,
and before his death left the county on
account Of heavy taxation. It Is also
rumored that tragedy occurred near
the home In an early day, the MUIR
derer never being apprehended.
Through a very peculiar circumstance,
the farm was sold and 1t Is said that
Terry realized but very little from the
sale.
Bride FIees 20 Mother.
A few years ago the farm came into
possession of the Mehl family. A year
ago Jay Mehl, one of the younger boys
of the Mehl family, was married to g
prominent young woman Of the county
and this stone house became their
home. They have lived there ever
since. Mehl does now, but his bride
has fed to the home Of her mother-at
least when 1t comes time to sleep.
All went well until a few months
ago when strange sounds arose from
the basement. This worried the Mehls
and they took particular pains to see
that all doors and windows were Sc
curely fastened before retiring. The
strange sounds, although faint, as Il
footsteps In the basement, caused the
young couple many sleepless nights.
''NEe will cemeN the basement ioor,"
young Mehl told his wife This was
done and 1t only made matters worse.
sWe win move our bed to the sec
end floor" said Mrs. Mehl. This was
done and arrangements made to lock
the door from the inside SO that there
was no possible chance of anyone en-
tering. Yet, night after night, ''tha
Invisible something" would appear Co

and pace the floor.
Struck on Head With Fist.
The climax came recently. After
Mr.. and Mrs. Mehl had retired late the
ghostly footsteps seemed to ascend the
stairs and approach the bedroom Mehi
said he was struck on the head with
fist.
Mehl arose and flashed on the Hight,
expecting to confront some great giant
of unusual strength, but nothing more
than four walls and familiar ceiling
were revealed. Nothing could be
found. He again retired. When conn
parative composure was gained. the
solace Of sleep again was sought, but
almest Immediately the covers were
pulled from the bed Both Mehl and
his wife are positive on this point.
Mehl again arose and turned on the
light ana replaced the covers. This

SPEEDING UP WORK
Consideration Of Revenue BilI This Week Will Probably Receive Prefer ence Among Legislators.

Washington, March s4.--Intensive work to speed up consideration of the revenue bill was in prospect for the senate finance committee this week when it took today some of the few remaining administrative provisions with the likelihood of reaching the rate within few days.
 The income tax rates win be the first of the schedules up for action by the committee, and both republican and democratic members hurried their plans today for the contest expected to develop on this section. Republican members with the exception of Rep resentative LaFollette of Wisconsin. the insnrgent leader. have indicated that they favor the Mellon proposals, while the democrats are working out new compromise which follows somewhat, the general lines of the Garner plan supported by house dem ocrats.
 Secretary Mellon had added his voice to the movement 10 separate the provision for 25 per cent reduction in income taxes payable this year from the revenue bill and bring about it's approval in a separate resolution.
 In letter 10 Representative Acker- man, republican, New Jersey, Mir. Mellon said he favored from a practi- cal standpoint the plan embodied by the house in the revenue bill allowing 9 per cent deductions on each quar. terly installment as 1t falls due rather than elimination Of the September in- stallment payments.

NORWALK MURDERER
 SUBMITS ID ARREST
Divorced Wife Slain When She
 Refuses to Return to Him

Norwalk, March 24.-George Weeks 42, an oyster packer employed by the North Atlantic Oyster Farms Co., of this city was arrested aboard his houseboat at the company's dock shortly before o'clock this morning on charge of murdering his divorced wife Elaine Blauvelt Weeks, by shoot ing yesterday.
 Weeks made no resistance when police who had sought him for IS hours finally discovered him on the house boat. He sat in a chair and alongside him on the table was a load cd .32 calibre revolver.
 According to the police Mrs. Weeks secured divorce about ten months ago and early Saturday night Weeks went to dance and asked her to re- turn to him. She refused, ii is said, but invited him to breakfast yester- day morning. Mrs. Weeks went to a dance late in the evening and con fided in friend that she was afraid to return home because her husband had threatened her.
 Yesterday morning Weeks was seen to leave the house boat in which he lived with Smith. He went directly 10 his wife's house. There. police be- lieve, Weeks became infuriated be- cause of his wife's refusal to make her home with him and drew re- yolyer. Mrs. Weeks in attempting to get into the yard to call for help was shot down on inc back stairs and bullet entering her temple and the other a cheek. A third was found lodged in the wall.
 George Flynn. who lives on the first floor of the house, heard the shots and summoning Steve Bonis, Mrs. Weeks nephew. living nearby. entered the apartment where they found the body of the woman huddled at the foot Of the stairway.

DAUGHERTY HEARING RESUMES ON. WED.
Illness of Sen. Wheeler Occasions
 Delay in Scandal Case

Washington, March A. - Further hearings in the senate investigation Of Attorney General Daugherty to- day were postponed until "Wednesday.
 The postponement was due to the illness Of Senator Wheeler democrat, Montana, the committee prosecutor, and to conflicting engagements by other committee members.
 Senator Wheeler is confined to his bed with severe cold. Another member, Senator Moses, republican, New Hampshire, was engaged with the opening of a new investigation into Rio Grande land transactions. Still another, Senator Jones. republi- can, Washington, was called out of the city.
 Chairman Brookhart said that the inquiry would proceed on Wednes- day, even if Senator Wheeler cannot return.
 When the committee resumes We'd nesday it hopes to conclude with the testimony and cross examination of Miss Roxie Stinson, divorced wife of Jess Smith, dead friend of the attor- ney general.
 Much to Be Sifted
 A variety of alleged deals" invol- wing whskey permits, fight film distri- button, narcotic drugs and political support, remaining the principal items on the Daugherty investigating committees program.
 Tn addition, the committee has on its hands the dispute with the attor- ney generals brother, Nj. s. Daugh- erty, over its attempt to examine all accounts amounting to more than s25,000 on the books of the Midland National bank of Washington Court House, Ohio, of which he is president. The banker has insisted that the ex- animation be confined to accounts known to be relevant 10 the inquiry.
 The possibility that Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, assistant attor- ney general. might cross-esamine Miss Roxie Stinson, divorced wife Of the late Jess Smith, on behalf of Daugherty today helped to pack the hearing room early with more than usually curious crowd. Miss Stinson had not completed her direct testi- tlmony when she left the stand Sat- urday. but was close to the ordeal of ross-examination with indications pointing to duel of feminine wits if duties before the federal grand jury did not prevent Mrs. Willebrandt from appearing for her chief.
 Besides Miss Stinson, William A. Orr, who has been mentioned in con neetion with the alleged fight film and whiskey permit deals" and Fred c. Qulmby. producer and part owner Of the Carpenter Dempsey pictures were under orders 10 appear for re-eNam- ination.

 The Sunday Times says it is time people cased trying to play grand mother to the prince, Although he has too much humor to be disturbed by objurgations that are half lecture and half cackle."
 The Sunday Express declares that if the premier interferes he ought to devise q method whereby Wales could take a more active part in public life.
