CoNFEssEs TO Staying GIRL

Philadelphia, Jan. 26.--Having con-
fessed that he strangled and disEiem-
bered Miss Anna May Dietrich, David
l.. Marshall, chiropractor, was being
held without bail today
Marshall, married and the father d.
a 12-year old daughter, made sec
ond confession last night in which he
admitted strangling the woman whose
cabaret complex" he said, was prov
ing financial strain upon him.
Miss Dietrich, 34-year old MILL,
ner, had ambitions to be modern
girl. Early yesterday, having readily
told Of his acquaintance with Miss
Dietrich and of having treated hen
professionally, Marshall confessed that
he had cut up the body but steadfast-
~ denied that he had killed her.
The first confession, however, did
not satisfy the authorities, particular
ly that part wherein he said that the
women had drank poison because a
wealthy New orker with whom she
was in love had Tilted her. After much
mere questioning he suddenly shouted
late last night:
"I'm lying! It's all lies. I'll tell the
truth now!" Then he said he had
straneled Miss Dietrich because she
had threatened to inform his wife OF
their relations unless he gave her
more money.
1t was because, he did not want to
be charged with murder, he said that
he dismembered the body and dispos-
ed of it by throwing the torso and
legs in field at Media, and hiding
the head underSa railroad trestle .
short distance from his home at BY

PLANT LIFE WIZARD SEES
NO HOPE AFTER DEATH

SANTA ROSA, Cal, Jan. 18.-Lut

prospect Of life after death.
The man who has created new spe
cies of flower life, who has studied
flowers and men for his philosophy
of life, took issue today with Henry
Ford's belief in reincarnation as ex
pressed through Frazier Hunt in the
FEBRUARY issue of Cosmopolitan Mag
azine. Mr.. Burbank said:
Il do not believe in REORGANIZATION
| have read all my life, to certain
extent, on the subject of life after
death, or of reincarnation, but |
found no proof of this reincarnatioa
theory as it is commonly accepted.
and nothing to induce me to accept
the theory.
1T seems to me to be material
istic conception to think that once we
die we return to life again in another
body.

mo doubt there are millions of in
visible and undiscovered planets that
are enhabited by some form of life,
not necessarily human life as we we
know it, but by life developed to suit
its environment.
"But we cannot know that after
death we shall live again on one Of
those planets"

The snow storm spread it's ivory
wool"
The third blanket of snow for this
winter descended last night. At
midnight the snow was two riches
deep. The day had been warm and
it had rained from early morning
until dark when temperature dropped
and the rain was turned into snow.
The streams, high from the rains
earlier in the week, were swollen to-
larger proportions but there was no
places reported to be suffering from
flood condition.
The lines Of the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company were
reported last night TO be intact. The
Western Union Telegraph Company
reported that it was not experiencing
any trouble on account Of the snow.
The trains on the Baltimore hnd
Ohio railroad were being operated or

wish to submit the following
query from the CHICAGO HERALD
and EXAMINER to my friend and
all other League advocates. What
kind Of dispute could we have with
another nation that we should be
willing to submit for adjudication
by the world court of the league of
nations which we should not be will
ing to submit to the already exist
ing Hague tribunal for international
arbitration---and why"
| will ask my friend a few ques-
tons Would you be willing to
leave the question of citizenship to
the World Court? This was done in
the dispute between Tunis and Nor
COCO. Would you be willing to let the
World Court order us to admit Chin
csc and Japanese, to citizenship?
Would you be willing to submit the
question of whether or not we
should build dam across the Color
ado river for furnishing water to
our citizens?
Would you be willing to permit
the World Court decide what ships
should pass through the Panama
canal? The above questions. were
settled by this court, in the cases Of
the water works in Jerusalem and
Kiel canal in Germany.

U. S. ENTERS THE

Jehnson's Plea Ignored as He Flags

gramme in 1920; Entry Now Only
Fermality.

WASHINGTON, Jan. PA fate
fnl hour in the history of the
american Republic struck as the big
clock over the Vice-President's desk
pointed to 6:45 o'clock tonight and
the Senate began the vote that
plunged the United States into in
tsrnationalisn.
Seven minutes later, the strident
voice of vice-President Dawes rasp-
ed out that the vote for the World
, Court was rs to II. 1t was all over.
Thus did the Senate advise and
consent to Americas turning her
back on the traditional policies of
no entangling alliances that have en-
Cured since the birth of the Republic.
All that now remains to be done
for the United States to become a
full-fledged member of the tribunal
created by the League of Nations is
the exchange of ratification between
this country and other member ma
tons.
President Coolidge has signlfed
his acceptance of the reservations
written by Senator Swanson of Vir-
einia, Wilsonian Democrat These
we're adopted without change, des-
rite terrific onslaught by the r-
reconcilables.
The final vote was taken in sui
len silence, tinged with sadness.
A day filled with drama that grip
ped the galleries and stirred the
veterans of the Senate was climaxed
nv the speech of Senator Hiram
Johnson, of California.
just before the final vote was call
ID, the sturdy foe of International
ssm arose like an avenging spirit of
pronounce malediction upon the
World Court. Ripping out his words
with the rapidity of a trip-hammer,
Johnson said:
Il shall detain you but moment
The deed is almost done. / congratu-
late my Democratic friends.
If this deed is to be done, twere
well it were done quickly. For this
IS an historic day in the annals of
the republic.

A Tribute


Robert Calvin Thornhill, Born Nov.
81, 1924-Died Jan. "a, 1926.
Just as the shades of evening were
falling on a peaceful Sabbath day,
an angel silently entered the home
Of Mr.. and Mrs. J. w. Thornhill, and
gently gathering their baby son in
his arms, folded him closely to his
breast and bore him swiftly back to
the Father who had loaned him to
this loving family for such a little
while.
All trough the long, dark hours
of the previous night: on through
the stiffness of the Sabbath Day
the angel kept his vigil, patiently
waiting and gently reckoning one
more of the Masters little lambs
back to his Fathers fold. And thus
as the day was waning into the
dusky twilight hours, this little, fair
haired laddie answered the final call
not of Death,- but of Life;- Life
without sorrows or tears;- Life, with
out burdens or cares;- Life, filled
only with eternal happiness and
peace with the Heavenly Father.
For only two quickly passing
years did this little flower bloom,
scattering the fragrance of baby
hood everywhere but the happiness
in his sunny face; the trustfulness
mirrored in his deep blue eyes, will
forever blossom in the memories Of
all with whom he came in contact
Only baby yet lives have been
made better by the touch of little
hands:-rough and stormy paths have
been smoothed BY trembling baby
feet heart-aches have been eased
and burdens lifted by childish laugh
ter; memories have been made
sweeter by the love. of a little lad.
And SO, while we bow our heads in
sorrow; while our hearts ache and
yearn in sympathy for those whose
burden today is heavy and hard to
bear,- yet would we offer this mes
sage of comfort, trusting it may
bring peace in the knowledge that the
memory of their wee lad loaned just
for day brought joy and gladness
to countless human hearts.
