CITIZENS MAP PLAN
TO HONOR RUDOLPH
Robert v. Fleming Accepts
Craftsmanship of General
Committee for Testimonial.

A movement has been launched
to provide an opportunity for the
citizens Of Washington to express
their appreciation of the long public
service of Commissioner Cuno H.
Rudolph, who will shortly retire to
private life.
The group Of prominent men and
women who are sponsoring this
testimonial intend to make the occa-
sion the largest and most impressive
of it's kind ever held in the Capital.
At the request of this group Robert
V. Fleming. president Of the Riggs
National Bank, has agreed to serve
as general chairman. Within the
next few days announcement will be
made of the date upon which this
celebration will be held and the
names of the committee chairmen
and others who will assist Mr.. Flem-
ing in arranging the details and
otherwise in making the affair a
notable success.
Form Is Undecided.
1t has not been determined yet just
exactly what form the testimonial
will take, but it is thought that it
will be held in the Washington
Auditorium. Although no date has
been fixed. it has been suggested that
one be set not later than five weeks
hence.
1t was first suggested to hold a
banquet at which eulogies and other
impressive tributes would be paid to
Commissioner Rudolph. but this idea
was abandoned because 1t was feared
1t would be impracticable because of
the thousands of persons in this city
who would want to attend as a
means of expressing their love for
Mr.. Rudolph as well as their high
estimation of his character and his
successful career.
Rudolph is Affected.
While discussing this point today
Mr.. Fleming intimated that the tes-
timonial committee will no doubt
have some difficulty in determining
just what form of celebration to
hold. 1t has been suggested, he said.
to hold a banquet to which certain
intimate friends and associates of
the Commissioner would be invited,
and to follow this with a reception
for the public at some large audi
torium
These details, however, will be
worked out in very short time and
the machinery necessary to execute
the plans for this big affair will be in
smooth working order. Commissioner
Rudolph was today informally ac-
quainted with what was on foot and
appeared deeply affected by this kindly
interest on the part of his friends.

BROCKTON, Mass, October o.
James Stoddard, a laborer, battered to
death with an ak three of his four
daughters as they slept in cherries
little third-story apartment here this
morning.
Stoddard, SO years old, with a long
police record for intoxication arrests,
recently was charged with failing to
support the children. His victims
were Mildred, Z; Edna, IL, and Flor
ence, 13.
Marion. the fourth daughter, who
was in bed with Edna, awoke as her
father struck her sister and grappled
with him. Breaking from his grasp
trian gave the alarm that brought
police.
Looks for Fourth.
A squad Of officers found Stoddard,
AK in hand, apparently about to leave
the house.
Il just killed my three kids and I
want to get the other one" he told
them as they disarmed him.
Stoddard declared he had been
drinking for two weeks prior to last
Sunday, when he had decided to quit.
A hallucination that q former en-
ployer had chased the children home
and was preparing to burn them or
otherwise cause them harm, made him
resolve to kill them himself, he as
serted, in an incoherent narrative at
police headquarters.
He had been chopping Woo6 with
the ak in the afternoon and in the
evening his mind became dazed.
I'm order to save the children from
being burned the thought came to me
while I was sitting in the rocking
chair by the stove that I had better
kill them myself" said his rambling
statement
Clasps Rag Doll.
Il got up out of the chair and went
to the outside of the porch and got
the AK hanging there. Then 1 went
into Marion and Edna s room and hit
Edna with the ak. Marion got up
ana ran away and l went INTO the
room of Florence and Mildred and
killed them. Then 1 went and got a
glass of water and 1 thought I might
have made a mistake and did not
know what to do"
Police discovered the bodies In the
blood-spattered beds Of the cheaply
furnished rooms. Little Mildred still
clasped a rag doll to her bosom. The
three children apparently had died
instantly.
Stoddard submitted quietly to ar
rest and interrogation. but when con-
fined to a cell tore off his clothing.
He was overpoWered by officers and
then fell into a coma.
The man was arrested last Summer
on a charge of failure to contribute
TO the support of his children, but an
aunt of the girls promised to help
keep the household together. Stod-
dard had not worked recently.
His mother is said to have died in
an insane asylum. Stoddard himself
had been under observation for sanity
several wears ago.

TURKS, INDIGNANT,
INVITE HAREM HUNT
Deny Charge, Attributed to
Bishop, That Christian
Women Are Held.

BY the Associated Press.
CONSTANTINOPLE October ga
A statement attributed to Bishop Will
liam T. Manning of the diocese of
New York that evidence has been pro-
duced showing that thousands of
Christian women are kept imprisoned
in Turkish harems has just come to
the attention of the Turkish press,
whose reaction is a mixture of amuSe-
ment and anger.
Bishop Manning, speaking before
the Girls Friendly Society on May 2
in New York, called attention to a
pamphlet issued by the American
committee opposed to the Lausanne
treaty as containing matter subStan-
tiating charges that more than 1OO,-
600 Christian women and girls are at
this moment held in vile and loath-
some captivity in Turkish harems."
Emphatically denying the truth of
the bishops statement, the we'll known
publicist and deputy, Yunous Nady
Bey, has written an editorial in the
ministerial organ, d Jumouriet call
ing upon interested Americans or
the League of Nations to send an un-
biased commission of inquiry to Tur-
key to hunt for harems. He states
that the Turkish government would
gladly pay the expenses of such a
commission.
While no statistics are available,
students of Turkish conditions say
that cases of polygamy in Turkey
have been rare for many years, due
to economic conditions, and that
women had abandoned the seclusion
of the harem, even before the new
government threw open the doors OF
activity and opportunity to them.
At the present time it would be
difficult to find a single harem In
Constantinople or any of the larger
towns of Turkey. they say.
AS for the villages and country
places of Anatolia, the harem in the
western sense never existed, as peas
ant women, instead of being secluded,
have always worked in the fields side
by side with the men.
