SUSPECT HELD
IN POLICEMAN
DEATH RIDDLE.
Man Arrested in Tulsa Is
Charged With Miller
Killing.
IMPLICATED BY CONVICT
Governor Signs Papers Ask
ing Prisoners Extradition
to Indianapolis.
IMPLICATED BY CONVICT

Long sought in connection with
Staying OF Motor Policeman Paul
Miller in Brightwood the night Of
July IT, 1923, Thomas J. Mcknight,
81, was held today by Tulsa (Okla)
police for Indiana authorities.
Detective Sergeant William Miller
this morning prepared to go to
Tulsa with papers from Governor
Harry c. Leslie asking Meningitis
extradition to Indianapolis.
A constables memory and cour-
age to act on a bunch resulted in
Meningitis arrest, Saturday night.
The policeman had viewed a photo
graph of the alleged murderer and
seeing a man in a pool room who
appeared to be the one in the pic
ture, arrested him.
Mcknight, working in Tulsa as a
steel welder, denied any connection
with the murder. A second man is
being sought. When he learned that
he was reported to have confessed to
the murder, Mcknight went into a
rage.
Shot Down on Street
Miller was shot down as he left
a police car near Twenty-fifth and
Station streets and approached
two roughly dressed men lurking In
the shadows of a .darkened store
front.
He had been dispatched with
Motor Policeman Roy Banks to in
vestigate reports of two suspicious
men lettering around group of
stores in the neighborhood.
Banks entered a pharmacy to
make inquiries. Miller drove fifty
feet ahead, where he spied the two
men at the entrance of a grocery.
Slip Through Police Net
AS he stepped from the auto, one
Of the duet fired. Miller fell to the
sidewalk. The gunman, said to
have been Mcknight, fired another
bullet into Millers body as the po-
liceman numbered his own gun.
Miller fired at the men as they fed
down an alley, and Banks ran
from the store in pursuit of the
gunner, firing at them as they
Sprinted down the dark alley.
Miller died in city hospital several
hours later. Despite close net of
police squads that combed the vi
cinity for several days, the slayers
slipped through and escaped.
Last December the convict told
prison authorities in Oklahoma that
he witnessed the shooting from
across the street. Sergeant Miller
went to Tulsa and interviewed the
prisoner, and orders were issued for
Meningitis arrest.

BABY WEDDING :
RITES RUSHED
TO BEAT BAN
Hundreds of Hindu 'ChiIdrei
Being Married in Last
Hours of Old Law.
ENGLISH EDICT is SPUR
Raising of Age Limit Ends
Custom Nearly as Old
as India Itself.

BU united Press
CALCUTTA, India, March 81
Hundreds of Hindu boys and girls,
some of them less than 10 years old,
and few of them still at the cradle
age, have been married within the
last twenty-four hours in "ortho-
doX" circles of India.
Hundreds more, before midnight,
will have been bound by their par
ents to involuntary marriage, in an
endeavor to beat the new British law
forbidding child marriages, which
goes into effect Tuesday.
One of the most amazing customs,
to western eyes, and one of the most
sacred to Indians, comes to an end
with the operation Of the act.
The new British rule, which Is
certain to be disobeyed quietly,
raises the manageable age of "wom-
en-" to IA years, and that of men"
to Is.
Old as India
Recommendation contained in
the bill for enforcement and pun
ishment appear modest and cau-
tious to the western world but to
the ORTHODOXY Hindu and Moslem
they seem colossal.
There has been no intense re-
sistance.. as in 1891, when a weekly
Hindu newspaper became one OF
midas most powerful dailies simply
through support following a strong
editorial campaign against raising
the age limits of manageable chill
dren.
The new act is considered to con-
tain great educational and psyche
logical values. 1t is the result OF
outside pressure, a great amount OF
which is credited to the United
States, and the vigorous work OF
E%'2n women.
The act takes away a religious be-
lief ard custom almost as old as the
races of India.
Early child marriage was pract1ced
in the days before Christianity. 1t
is one of the most revered and anti
quated of laws.
Yet. little trouble is anticipated.
British governmental officials expect
few individuals may break the
law, but as a whole, they believe,
the new piece of legislation will re-
ceive little opposition.
Married to Objects

RACES. which have been performed
in the past every ten years, will be

The last time the ceremony was
held there we're more girls than
boys, so thousands Of the little

objects.

pants less than three months OF age

colorful ceremony was taking place.
now will grow into young manhood
and womanhood as single individ-
uals with the right to choose for

With single sweep of the law,
cradle marriages are ended for
ever.
According to the census of 1921
there were 100000 wives and widows
of an age not exceeding 5 years in
India; 100000 of 10 years or less,
and 40 per cent of the girls between
/ 10 and IS we're married.
The latest survey Of India shows
100000 girls under the age Of Is
now live as widows due to conditions
resulting from laws which existed
in the past.

C. A. Pope, 1867 Broad10ay,
SergeaBt-majOr in the Three
hundred seUenty-SeUenth aero

kOaC the Wyoming cO1Opuncb-
+ gaze Queen Mary the
book of her life.
T was a bright morning in early
Il May, 1918, in Merrie Ould Eng
d. All was quiet in the Eagle
.ls, the American Y. M. c. A. in
London. The large general hall was
crowded to capacity with Yanks on
leave of absence.
Suddenly there was a commotion
at the Strand street entrance. All
eyes were turned in that direction.
The crowd snapped to attention as
If by command. 1t was an informal
visit of inspection by the king and
queen of England.
King George, in a jovial manner,
motioned the soldiers to be seated,
while he. Queen Mary and other
royal visitors passed among the
boys. The king smiled in demo-
cratic manner and seemed very
much at home. The queen ap-
peared to be struggling to blend her
royal reserve with the common
placeneSs of the Hut"
All went we'll until the royal Wis
itorS had gained the center Of the
long room. Then the unexpected
happened.
A tall, gawky Wyoming cow
puncher untangled his 6 feet 2
inches from the wooden bench on
which he had been seated, leisurely
walked up to His Majesty and asked:
"Are you the king?"
George v informed the Yank that
such was the case.
Put 'er there, old top" said the
cowboy. thrusting his hand toward
the king. ct always wanted to shake
hands with the chap ats back Of the
whole push"
a broad smile of amusement
mingled with appreciation spread
over the kings face as he accepted
the extended hand in a most hearty
embrace. a response almost true
Yankee in its fashion.
But it was too much for the queen
Her reserve was shattered. She
caught at the arm of an attendant
and it seemed for a second that she
would Swoon from the shock.
