DR. ]. E. KLINGBERG ID START NEW HOME Daughter Mabel to Be in Charge of Chicago
 Institution

A new children's home, modelled after the Klingberg Children's home in this city, which stands alone as the most unique institu- ton of it's kind in the world, is about to be opened in the south side of Chicago within a few weeks, according to information re- ceived here today. The home will be opened by Rev. Dr. J. r. Kling- berg, founder and superintendent of the local institution.
 So far have plans progressed that it is understood 20 Swedish churches in the vicinity of the proposed home in Chicago have purchased large residence at a price of about S12,0OO and are prepared to finance the proposition. The home will be at the corner of 63d place and Lowe avenue and will be entirely undenominational as is the New Britain institution.
 While no definite date has been announced for the opening of the iIN' ill0lltuIloLb IL 10 lllOuSuI IL will take place about September 1. Miss Mabel Klingberg, daughter of pr. klingberg, and Miss Peggy Ol- sen, both from the New Britain in stitution, will have charge of the Chicago home in addition to a hired housekeeper.
 The Chicago institution will dif- fer from the New Britain institu- tion only in the age limit of its children. While in New Britain children are taken in at infancy when necessary and kept until the girls are IS years old and the boys are 16, in the Chicago home chil- dren between the ages of three and 10 years only will be accepted.
 New Britain people are well &C., quainted with the strange and in- teresting history of the Klingberg home, and the city as a whole looks with pride upon the institu- tion and its record.
 Starting with two needy orphans more than 20 years ago. discovered by Patrolman Charles Johnson, an active veteran policeman still on the force, Dr. Klingberg, with no security for payment of his ex- penses except his faith that ''the Lord will provide" built from that beginning an institution now worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and which furnishes a home for 125 youngsters, gives them voca- tional training and sends them out into the world well fitted to make q satisfactory living.
 The Chicago home is an addt tional step in this work.

WIFE CANNOT DEDUCT MONEY GIVEN HUSBAND Tax Appeals Board Rules This Is Not Business
 Expense

Washington, Aug. [ lP-A wife who contracts with her husband to give him half her income cannot de- duct that amount as a business sex- pense from her taxable income, the board of tax appeals held today.
 The decision was given in the case of Mrs. Edwynia Appleby Robinson of New York, who explained that she and her husband, sea captain, agreed upon their marriage in 1900 that she would give him half of her income and pay half of the home expenses if he gave up the sea.
 Testimony showed that all was lovely until the husband heard the call of the sea again as result of his experiences in the navy in war time. The contract, meanwhile. had been destroyed in a fire but another was signed, reading:
 T hereby agree, for value receiv- ed and on condition that my hus- band, William Appleby Robinson, gives up the sea-faring profession, and takes up no other that will take him away from home, to divide all moneys coming to me from every source whatever, share and share alike, he to take half, and to take half, as long as we live together; all home and other expenses to be shared equally"
 Under her mothers will, Mrs. Robinson was paid s12,645 in 1920. She gave half to her husband but the board held that the entire amount was income. and taxable against her.

who, although divorced from her husband, was supported by him. She also had additional property she ir- herited.
 1onng Bearse, although he never gave evidence of insanity, was known to have violent and easily stirred
 temper. The theory has been ad- Vanced that he tried to secure money from his mother with which to set
 up in business md that the argu-
 ment when she refused led to the unbalancing of his mind.
 The torture of Mrs. Rearse appar- ently began soon after midnight. It
 was about 6:S0 o'clock, when a
 woman nefghbor, who did not make herself known, telephoned the police
 that something was wrong in the Bearse home.
 The pelice investigated but found the house dark and silent. Being
 unable to locateo the woman who had called them, they returned. Ar hour later the same woman reported again that she had heard screams. She added that the disturbance first attracted her attention at 3:30 a. m.
 Spent Week At Grove Beach
 The son was star basketball player while a student in the tech ntcal high school. In 1924 he was
 graduated from. Northeastern uni- versity in Boston as a mechanical engineer. Until July 1 he was eni- ployed by the Springfield Gas Light company. He spent last week at Grove Beach,~ Conn.,, with school friend and returned to Springfield
 a few days ago to make arrange ments for starting his own business.
 Close questioning of all neighbors of the Bearse confirmed the fact that an all night struggle preceded the death. Mrs smily Poirier said that her daughter heard cries as early as 3 a. m., but that she did not tell her until the family gathered for breakfast at 6 o'clock. They had continued for long time but so low that the girl thought them merely the moans of a sick person.
 Another neighbor Frank Mini chiello, hearing the sounds shortly after o'clock went to the Bearse
 home and shouted, What is the
 natter" Young Bearse called back,
 he said, Nothing, what is it to you?" The neighbor did not report
 the occurrence to the police until after the body was found.

Maniac Who Mua ..s p'& .sr May Have Become J,s.s,ssianced Because
 of Love Affair With Young Girl
Father of Richard Bearse Springfield Slayer Advances Opinion-Polce to Question Sweetheart Today Young Man Spent Last Week at Grove Beach,

Springfield, Mass. Aug. 2 Pl-Po- lice are relying on the interview they expect to have today with Marie Wilson, sweetheart of Richard c. Bearse to supply the motive which turned the young son of the Hamp- den county treasurer into maniac and which led him to torture his mother until she died yesterday morning. Young Bearse is in the county jail charged with first degree murder awaiting formal examination by alienists named by the court
 First Love Affair
 Although the murderer is 26 years old, his father, Fred l.. Bearse, de- clares that he believes that until his son met Miss Wilson two weeks ago he had never been involved in a love affair, and he lays to this in- fatuation the unbalance which made killer and torturer out of the young man popular in the ,city's younger set. Young Bearse returned from a call on his sweetheart just before midnight yesterday and it was dur ing the hours between midnight and 8 o'clock in the morning that he gouged out his mothers eyes and ripped her body apart with his bare hands.
 Ncighbors Heart Cries
 It became known last night that listening terrified through a night of terrified screaming, unsuspectihg reighbors let Mrs. Bearse die. Sev- eral of them were wakened by the tortured woman's moans and shrieks. but it was several hours before they became sufficiently convinced that foul play was being done to summon the police. Medical Examiner Fred eroick Jones declared after his autopsy that Mrs. Bearse had been dead but very short time when her body was found by police.
 Miss Wilson is in hospital, a vic- tim of mysteries and a nervous breakdown induced by the news of her sWeetheart's crime, but police hope that they will be able to ques- tion her today.
 Another possible motive was seen in a conversation the elder Bearse had with his son the day preceding the crime. Richard, then apparently normal, had spoken hopefully of en- tering business. It was thought he may have unsuccessfully attempted to obtain money from his mother

NEW LEGISLATION IN
 MEXICO SEEMS LIKELY
Incoming Congress May Adopt Less Stringent
 Church Laws

Mexico City, Aug. [. (P}-The i'm passe in the struggle between the government and the Catholic cnurch in Mexico may possibly De solved through the enactment of the new congress, which convenes Sept. 1, of religious regulations less drastic than those which went into effect a week ago-at least that is the hope held at present in some circles.
 Legislation on the religious sub- Ject is expected to be one of the first things taken up by the new congress. It may result in con- gressional reaffirmation of President Gales regulations, in a contest be- tween the president and congress on the subject or in the passage of milder regulations.
 r Hope of congressional modified tion is based upon an announcement by the Department of the interior that it is studying and preparing a draft law regulating Article 1S0 of the constitution, which is the re- ligious section. The department will submit this bill to congress.
 President Gales promulgation regulated the religious clauses Of the constitution, but included amendments to the penal code. Con- gress itself has not passedsa law en- acting the religious section of the constitution and can still do so. This law, if approved by the presi- dent would supplement the present regulations.
New Britain herald., 1926-08-07

Mexico City, Aug. Rl-Today brought no lessening in the strained relations existing between the Cath ollie church authorities and the Mex ican government over the govern ments recently imposed regulations governing the enactment of the re- ligious clauses Of the constitution. There apparently were no prospects of a settlement of the controversy at an early date. The priests contin- ued to absent themselves from the churches, but the doors of many of the edifiices were open for worship pers to enter and mediate and pray.
 Business circles continued gloomy, fearful that the economic boycott instituted by the national league for defense of religious freedom as a protest against the religiods rela- tions, might assume more serious proportions in the capital. The be- lief prevailed here that the move ment calling for no expenditures by the people, except for absolute ne- cessities, is being obeyed much more in other parts of the country than in Mexico City, but there were evidences of its effect here, particu- larly in the small attendances in the moving picture houses and in the purchases of luxuries.
 Little news regarding conditions in other parts Of the republic was available in Mexico City. but appar- ently, with the exception of occa- sional purely local disturbances. the fConfinuod ar Dao> faN

DISCIPLINE AND RESPECT

DO not misunderstood the rightly
and strictness of camp life. These
regulations may seem hard at first
but they are for your own good
Work with the spirit of the team
Try to adjust yourselves" So the
commander of Camp Devens adj
dressed the 1900 members Of the
1925 training camp. We have no
doubt the young men received the
suggestions in the spirit in which
they were spoken, resolved to recog-
nize the need of discipline, and found
their respect for the training en-
HANGED by the discipline attending it.
Does it not occur to mind that the
need of such conditions of discipline
is not confined to training camps >
Is it unreasonable to suppose more
respect would be had from the youth
OF today If they were compelled to
undergo more strictness, while being
kindly told why? We believe that
in appreciable degree there is in the
mind of youth inherent response to
demands which they understand to
be just and proper, though none more
