Miss Mary Ruthven, who held UP
two branches Of the District
Supreme Court yesterday when she
failed to appear for hearing IN
connection with lunacy proceedings
against her, was returned to
custody of st. Elizabeth's Hospital

tests and demands that they leave
her alone

surety, who hae tried frantically
throughout the afternoon yesterday
to persuade their client to leave
her room in which she was locked
at Sixteenth Street Mansions, and
come to court.
Miss Ruthven recently filed q
petition for writ Of haheas corpus
asking that she be released from st.
Elizabeth's Hospital, declaring that

to dismiss the lunacy proceedings
which had attacked the jurisdiction
of the local courts. Both cases

Kansas Typists Must

put it to use.
This was the solemn ruling Of
the state executive council which
lent learned and interested ear
to the problem.
The emergency" is nothing
more serious than the busting Of
the state typewriters. It has
been the custom to supply the
youthful stenographers with ma
terial from a laundry for this
purpose. salyaged union suits.

gnarled frames of tramps and

Stenographers shuddered when
they handled these relics, even
though they had been through
the washing machine.
The whole esthetic case of the
stenographers was blasted by the
edict of the State House Gus
todian, who informed the council
that renovated underwear costs
just half the price of nice new
cheese cloth, ordinarily used for
busting.

Panzram said, according to Lieut..
Edward Kelly, who took the con
fession.
In his latest confession, Panzram
gives details that have never been
published and which he would have
no means of knowing about unless
he had been present at the slay-
ings. Kelly said.
The confession is described by
Kelly as the most revolving he has
ever taken from a prisoner. PAM 2,
ram declared that he assaulted all
Of the youths before numbering
them, Kelly said
After going into details Of the
Staying of the three youths, PAM
ram said:
~ have been going around muir
dering people for the past 10 years,
and noWI think it is time some
one murdered me-"
He refused to discuss any other
murders, declaring that he would
talk about them in court, Kelly
said.
The Staying of the Luszock and
McMahon boys baffled police of
Salem and Philadelphia until PAM
ram confessed. Detectives from both
cities have talked with the prisoner
at the Jail and have returned to
their home cities to secure indict-
mcnts and papers for the extradl-
ton of Panzram.
Thus far police have not been
able to End a record of an I'M
solved murder near New London or
New Haven. but PanZram is insist
ent that he murdered youth there
in 1922. He said his victim was
about 16 years old and wore heavy
eyeglasses. lie lured the boy, whom
he met walking on the Boston Post
Road, into the woods on promise
of giving him something to eat.
The youth said that his father
was policeman in Brooklyn. PAM
ram said he assaulted him. choked
him to death with belt, and left
the body in the woods.
Story Was Doubted
About three weeks ago Panzram
called NdJUI w hIldIH Sdhe, ISdu
of the Jail, and confessed to the
murders in Philadelphia and Salem.
Police at that time expressed the
belief that the man was either in
sane or was trying to be taken out
of the District and escape trial on
charge of housebreaking against
him.
Two Massachusetts detectives
came here Wednesday but Panzram
refused to talk to them and when
they left they said that they
thought he was taking. Last night,
however, Kelly said. Panzram talked
at length about the Salem murder
and spoke of the incidents which
the Massachusetts detectives said
no one but the murderer and them
selves knew.
The confession was typed and
Kelly will ask PanZram to sign it
some time this afternoon.

Tests

Mere than 1000 children attending
four northeast schools may be given
the Shick test tl determine whether
they are immune from dfphtheria
following the death of four children
and the spread of the disease to
many others in that community.
DIR. William G. Fowler, health Off
Ger, today detailed an inspector and
a nurse to watch the development
Of the mild epidemic Of diphtheria in
the northeast. He also is having
them make a survey of the COM
munity and seek consent of parents
for the Shick test to be given their
children.
In cases where natural immunity
from the disease is not found, the
health department proposes to ad-
minister a toxin-antitoxin against
the disease.
Five more carriers have been
found among children in the Blair
School and five more in the Hayes
School, the health department an
nounced today.
DR. Fowler is cramped by the
small appropriation from Congress
in carrying on antitoxin work at
this time. he said today. Year after
wear the department has asked
Congress for a more liberal appro-
priation for this work, but with
out satisfactory results.
The department is not alarmed
over the situation in the Northeast.
Since October /, there have been
four deaths, there are now 16 elm

children have been taken from
