TEACHER SLAIN


TOLEDO, Ohio, Oct, 26-(P-A round
up of mentally deficient persons was
ordered by Chief of Police Harry Jen
nings tonight in the search for the at
tacker and slayer of Miss Milly Dale
Croy, %, Toledo school teacher.
The tactics $of the murderer, who
brutally beat the teacher to death in
school yard two blocks from her home
last night, so resembled the operations
of the notorious Toledo clubber of
year ago that police prepared for an
other wave of hysteria.
Women's frightened by the attack
upon Miss Croy, remained within their
homes.
Keep COOL" advised Chief jennings
in a public statement this afternoon.
He pointed out that the clubber who
murdered three women in August, 1925,
produced such hysteria that the police
were hampered in their investigation.
Authorities are convinced that the
slayer of Miss Croy is degenerate.
The mentally deficient persons taken
in the promised roundup will be sub
jected to rigid examination, Chief Jen-
nings said.
By this method during the reign of
the clubber last year, police succeeded
in sending a number to hospitals for
the insane, although the clubber's iden-
tity remained mystery. Rewards to-

HaN-MilIs Grand Jury
And Prosecutor in Row

SOMERVILLE, N. j., Oct. 26 OP)--A
bitter quarrel between the Somerset
county grand jury and Special Prose-
cutor Alexander Simpson, which rele-
gated to the background the Hall
Mills case itself, was climaXed today
by an invitation from the prosecutor
to indict him and his exclusion from
the grand jury room by resolution.
Fhe grand jury clerk was put out
by a second resolution
The jury met in opposition to the
wishes OF the prosecution and re-
ports had reached Simpson that it
was to Investigate the investigator
After the heated session Simpson
announced he would probably turn to
Hudson, his home county, for indict-
ment against two of the alleged ac-
cessories, which he had been seeking
from the Somerset county body
These two, he said, would be Felix
hi Martini, private detective who was
employed by Mrs. Frances Stevens
Hall, and Ralph v. NJ. Gorsline, ves-
tryman of the slain mans church,
who, after being questioned 21 hours,
admitted he was at the scene OF the
slayings with Miss Catherine Rastall.
Gorsline was also accused OF spying
upon the trysts of the slain couple
with Mrs. Minna Clark, whose indict-
ment as an accessory was asked of
the Somerset jury.
Gorsline was not arrested, the state
of New York refused to surrender Di
Martini to New Jersey authorities,
and Mrs. Clark is free in $4,000 bail,
pending further action.
The prosecutor said he learned that
Di Martini and Gorsiino once met in
the Manhattan transfer, Hudson coun-
ty, and that there was talk of brib-
cry" After investigation, he said,
he would ask Prosecutor John Hilton
to go before the grand jury for in
dictments against tnam.

is to establish the full extent of

Hoosier state. Evidence presented at
Kansas City yesterday, was that SEN
stor Watson, republican, who is
seeking recollection next Tuesday, hac
sat in at conferences OF high Of,
fic:als of the Khan at Washington
when the resignation of Walter F,
Bossert of Indianapolis, as granc
dragon was demanded and received
because he would not go down the
line for Senator Watson, the senior
Indiana senator
( Senator Watson, in formal state
ment, denied this whole story and it
was for that reason that the Miss
oursan decided to reopen the inquiry
Before doing so he announced that
both Senator Watson and Senator
Arthur F. Robinson, republican, who
also is seeking denomination, would
be given full opportunity to submit
affidavits in rebuttal.
After making this announcement
| Senator Reed read statement pub
lished here and attributed to Senator
Watson in which Tie senior Indiana
senator said that if the committee
chairman wanted an affidavit he
could have one but that he was not
going "to rush out and hunt him up
and stick it under his nose.'
Il regret exceedingly that Senator
Watson takes this view," Senator
Reed said. when I concluded the
Investigation at Kansas City,
thought I was through with the
Indiana situation dnd it seems to mo
only fair that Senator'S Watson and
Robinson should be permitted to state
their side of the case for the record
and, therefore, I announced that any
affidavit they filed would be treated
as evidence.
II did this solely tc afford the
senators an opportunity to refute the
statements made at Kansas City that
might have injured them. 1 have
been trying to conduct this hearing
as fairly as possible and neither
bluster nor abuse can cause the
slightest deviation from the coursa 1
have laid down"
Senator Reed added that at Thurs
Gays hearings Senators Watson and
Robinson could be present in person
If possible or else could be repre-
sented by counsel, who will be per.
mltted to cross examine witnesses"

CHE WHY of
SUPERSTITIONS
BY H. IRVING KING
TOUCHING FOR WARTS

IN A BIG bank, in a big eastern city,
L. there is porter who has reputa-
ton all through local banking circles
of being able to cure warts by touch
ing them.
Now and then is found a man who
is thought to possess the same cura-
tive powers of touch which are ac-
credited to the bank porter of the big
y. 1t appears as if to certain hum
e individuals had descended the mi
lculous powers which formerly, and
lor many centuries, were supposed to
be possessed by the kings of France
and England-especially of England
when they touched for the kings
evil" otherwise scrofula. The custom
Of touching for the kings evil" in
England can be traced back to Ed
ward the Confessor definitely, and is
probably of a much older date. 1t
was continued by the British mon
archs up to and during the reign of
Queen Anne and the ritual for the
touching" was retained in the Eng
L
the middle of the Nineteenth century
The touching of the bank porter
and his corgeners is apparently an
echo of this old-time royal practice;
upon investigating the methods of the
porter in effecting his "cure" it was
found that his touching" consisted
in rubbing the warts with his fingers
from right to left-or sunwise, which
action clearly indicates a survival Of
sun-worship. The chief value of
study of modern superstition is in
patching out our imperfect knowledge
Of the past, says Maspero. and as in
the touching of the bank porter for
warts there is clearly lingering rem
nant of sun-worship; the facts point
to a similar origin for the royal touch
to a similar origin for the royal
touching for the kings evil"

KIDL)LlEl> KlA1'YDlL) < - 1
G2Arth1r Scott Bailey %Sp

On warm, dry, midsummer nights
the Katydids all made a terrific
racket But there wasn't one OF
them that outdid Kiddie. He always
had the best time when he was MAX
ing the most noise. And since he liked
to station himself in a tree near
Farmer Green's house, his uproar
often rose plainly above that of the
other Katydids.
Lying in bed in his little room IN
der the caves, Johnnie Green some
times wished that Riddle would keep
quiet long enough to let him go to
sleep in peace.
To be sure, the balmy breezes
through Johnnie's open window. From
nearby came Chirpy Cricket's cheerful
piping. And in the distant swamp
the musical Frog family held a sing
ing party every evening. Johnnie
Green liked to hear them. But he OBJ
jected strongly to the weird hooting
and horrid laughter of Solomon Owl,
who left the hemlock woods after
dark to hunt for field mice.
AS for Riddle Katydid, he paid lit
tie attention to any other of the night
cries. No matter what anybody else
said, he solemnly hurled back at him
that never-ending refrain, Katy did,
Katy did; she did, she did!
You would have thought, if you had
heard Riddle, that somebody had dis
puted his statement. But such was
not the case at all. Since no one ex-
cept the Katydids knew anything
about the mysterious Katy, nobody
was able to say truthfully that she
didn't do it. In fact, the whole affair
was a great secret so far as outsiders
were concerned. And one night John
ME Green even thrust his head out
of the window and cried impatiently:
"All right! All right! 1 admit
that Katy did it. And now do please
keep still"
OF course, his plea failed to silence
Riddle Katydid But it relieved John
ME Green's mind and made him feel
better, anyhow
Riddle told his own people about
Johnnie's outburst. And they all
agreed that it was a rude thing to
do.
Doesn't he know they asked,
that the night belongs to us?"
