Up Tier body and Extracted hem. NTOST men consider pearly white WI teeth one of woman's greatest
 charms. Fortunately, however, few of them are so fascinated by the beauty of their girl friends incisors and molars that they insist on pulling them out for cherished souvenirs.
 Yet it was just such a fantastic ma mia for extracting attractive womens teeth that recently caused the arrest and subsequent suicide of eccentric Liwyn Bentley, a wealthy retired
 Edgar Allan Poe's weird story, "Berence," tells of man who falls in desperately in love with a womans teeth that when she died he digs up her body to worship them. Bentley's pas sion for feminine teeth though con- fined to the living, was of similar nature.
 In New York and throughout the Middle West, his arrest created a sen sation, for Bentley, a bachelor of sixty, was widely known for his an omalouS interest in two amazingly diff ferent hobbies - philosophy and dancing.
 But his arrest in St. Louis on Mrs. Mildred Rankins charge that he had extracted one of her front teeth with out either her permission or dental license revealed an oddity far more astonishing.
 Under police questioning, Bentley readily admitted that he had performed similar dental operations on two hun dred other women. Without much urging, he detailed how he had traT- eled all over the country for ten years searching for women whose gliStenng white teeth he might add to his large collection of perfect specimens.
 "To me-" he explained, "the most beautiful thing in the world is per feet set of teeth. presume l must stop pulling them," he added, laugh ingly, flor it appears that some ot my patients don't appreciate my skill. It is frightfully ungratetul of them to complain, for l never charged them anything for my services"
 His amusement at his prcdicamcnt proved, however to be only brief gesture. A few days before he was to be tried, Bentley cheated both Justice and the tremendous public curiosity his case had aroused by putting bull let through his brain.
 If those who did not know the danc- ing philosopher were startled at his peculiar obsession for women's teeth, his wide circle of friends was utterly astounded.
 Bentley, despite his eccentricities, they had known as kindly, sweet tempered, middle-aged man, with pro- found, philosophical mind, which time had meilowed instead of souring.
 He had possessed everything in the world bachelor of his age could de- sire. Besides his luxurious home he owned several motor cars, yacht and one of the most extensive libraries in Missouri.
 Among his friends he numbered both good looking women and many men of intellect. Professor John Dewey, of Columbia University, considered by many Americas greatest living philoso pher, was reputed to be one of his in inmates.
 In Springfield, where he had lived since boyhood, Bentley had been con

REALTY MAN REPLIES
TO DAMAGE ACTION
Fulton r. Gordon Files Answer
to Suit Asking $250,000
Damages.

Fulton r. Gordon, millionaire real
estate operator Of Chevy Chase, yeSter-
day filed in the District Supreme Court
an answer denying the charges in O suit
for $25O,000 damages brought against
him by Oscar G. Thomas, o lawyer, for
alleged conspiracy to extort money, mis-
use of court process and for false ar
rest. Gordon claims that no damage
accrued TO Thomas by reason of any
act performed by him.
Thomas charged that Gordon with
Carrot L. Brown caused him to be ar
rested on false charges April 8, 1929, in
order that Brown could collect $13l
from Thomas, which Thomas claimed
he did not owe. Gordon, he said, ac-
companied the policeman serving the
warrant and pointed out Thomas to
the oficer. Gordon denies that he had
anything to do with the charges and
only accompanied Brown to Police
Court at Browns request and because
he considered 1t to be his duty as q
good citizen to lend his aid when re-
quested to do so in the prosecution Of
criminal and unlawful acts"

learned that there might be untoward

The ambassadors conference has de-
cided that the hangers must come down
and that the two small ones at Neustadt

The of1cial view Is that the ambassa-

the hangers to the Germans provided
they were not used for military purposes

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct 28--
Ann Burlak, one of the six workers
indicted in Atlanta for organizing
Negro and white workers into mill
tant unions without discrimination
as to color, has just completed the
most successful trip under the aus
pices of the International La~oor De-
tense, ever undertaken in New Eng
land territory
Factory towns in these various
states responded with large meetings,
enthusiastically greeting Ann Burlak
who spoke on the Atlanta "insurrec-
ton" cases and other prosecutions
going on at present throughout the
country.
At all her meetings, the halls we're
packed to capacity and the workers
responded in a fashion which left
no doubts in anyone's mind as to the
determination of militant workers
to guard against repetition of the
Saco and Vanzetti murder. Even the
capitalist press was forced to pay at
tention to these meetings, and in
places where the police we're always
known to break up mass meetings
they kept their hands off because of
the fighting spirit of the workers.

pressed in cable dispatches from

here that Kanchow, city of 100000
