YOUTH OF MORCANTOWN
CONFESSES GILLIS MURDER
Says He Shot Old Man When
He Was Refused Money At
Terra Alta Home Friday
HITCH-HIKED TO OAKLAND

Arthur Raymond Teets, 20, of Nor
gantown, W. Va, confessed slayer of
Jimmy ellis, 72, Terra Alta land
owner and greenhouse proprietor, was
held by the grand jury, now in session
in Preston county, W. Va, on an in
dictment of murder, yesterday.
Teets confessed Tuesday evening
that he killed ellis at Terra Alta on
Friday after the latter had refused to
give him money, Sheriff Charles
Brown, of Kingwood, announced
yesterday. The confession was OBJ
tanned by Captain Harry D. Schmidt
and Lieut.. L. E. Shrout, of the B. &
o. police force, who investigated the
crime.
A warrant charging murder was
issued against Teets and his case was
presented to the Preston county grand
jury yesterday.
The announcement of the youths
confession came about fourteen hours
after his arrest at his home in
Morgantown, where he was trailed by
the B. & O. police. According to
Captain Schmidt, Lieut.. Shrout no.
ticed Teets in the vicinity of the Gil
lis home on the day of the murder,
but was not sure where he lived. He
and Capt. Schmidt finally located him
at his parents home Tuesday evening
and he was taken into custody and
questioned. The confession was signed
in affidavit before Prosecutor Melville
Snyder, of Preston county.
Identified By NeighbOr
Capt. Schmidt said Mrs. Elsie V.
Smith, neighbor of ellis, was taken
before Teets and named him as the
man she saw running from the slain
mans home twenty minutes before
she found ellis body.
Sheriff Brown said Teets admitted
he had made several trips to ellis
home, having heard that he had money
and was very benevolent. He said he
talked to ellis about buying some of
his property, in the hope of getting in
his good graces and persuading Gil
lis to give him a job.
Gives Details Of Crime
The sheriff quoted Teets as explain
ing he and ellis were alone in his
home Friday and the following
conversation took place:
81 said, have you got any money!
and the old gentleman answered,
yes, SIR
"'Well, give it here"
The sheriff said Teets told him Gil
lis refused and started toward him
with his fists clenched.
81 backed toward the door, pulled
the revolver and shot him." Teets
was quoted as saying.
Found Only SIG
GAS soon as l shot him, l searched
him and found a $40 and SIS bill in
his wallet and 81 in a change purse.
1 took both. Then I searched the
house but didn't find anything else"
The sheriff said Teets asserted
that after leaving the house he threw
the money bag into field about half
way between ellis home and the

AWeS to Shoe College Styles
at Tea Monday Afternoon

Economy, smartnesS and correct
ness are the three keynotes in the
school wardrobe and simplicity in
line, interesting fabrics and rich
colors prevail throughout all the
outfits. Clothes are designed to give
the youngsters confidence, so es-
sential during their growing up
stages"
Toddlers and beginners in kinder
garten still cling to the coat sets of
leggings, coats and bonnets, and
the brother and sister sets in knit
and in wash fabrics. Perky shirring,
box pleating and puff sleeves will
be popular.
Growing boys and girls will find
the jackets in leather and suede
appropriate for many outfits. par
ticularly smart with corduroy knick-
ers and wool skirts. Bright scarfs
and ties and jaunty berets and skull
caps top of the outfits, and sturdy
oXfords, bright sweater sets and
three-quarter-length socks continue
to be approved by even the critical.
The beret and pancake hat, so
fashionable for mothers, will be
worn by older sisters in high school
and college with their smart wool
dresses, best coats and party dresses.
Plaids and Buster Brown ties finish
some Of the outfits, and detachable
jackets still are popular. Corduroy
and wool Stacks to be worn with
broadcloth shirts and the tweed
suits are the choice Of the young
men. Even rainy day and play
clothes are essential.

cal or even legal procedure so

to reside in state which would
deny the decree. 1t should strike
even the simplest mind that the
marriage codes were made to be
: obeyed quite as much as those
which apply, let us say, to auto
mobile traffic.
Common, everyday honesty then
declares a divorce must be OBJ
tanned in the state where the
couple are registered as voting
citizens. To marry under one set
of rules and be divorced under
another, entirely dissimilar, is not
conducive to the development OF
a national integrity, or even the
proper personal attitude toward
government.
In short, the man and woman
who vote in New York should, by
all the rules of arithmetic and
all the dictates of conscience, be
divorced in New York. The same
is true of the residents OF any
other state.
Another and quite as unpleas-
ing aspect of the present sltua-
ton is that all our rules leglsIaUe
against the poor and in favor OF
the rich. Only the wealthy can
travel whenever they wish to the
ports of liberty. The toilers must
20 on enduring matrimonial woes
or resort to trickery and lies TO

Reno with her pocket change. IL
seems to me this discrimination
constitutes one of our most ol1Il-
cult social problems.
Why should the rich man be
allowed to purchase relief from a
nagging tongue by sending his
wife west, while the poor one,
lacking the price of a ticket, en-
dures that which his more for
tunate brother does not have to
tolerate?
Our submission to such a messy
condition is laughable to one who
can see humor in tragedy. 1t
seems reasonable to believe that
a self-governing people might be
able to change their laws to suit
their habits.
And is there any sense Of justice
in allowing one city or locality to
fatten upon the unhappinesS Of
those who live in other regions?
So long as we recognize the exist
ence of certain universal mar
rage troubles, and so long as we
permit divorces, why not have a
federal law and save ourselves
endless expense and humiliation?

Auction Play
A T auction, the hand was played
n at one heart in the South. A
diamond led by West would make
game impossible, but it is consid-
cred bad practice to lead away from
an ace-queen tenace, and West had
no bidding to guide him, so we
can not blame him for not open
ing a diamond.
Perhaps a club would be the
logical opening, but West elected to
lead the jack of spades.
East won with the ace, and re-
turned trump, fearing that
dummy's singleton club would en-
able the declarer to establish
cross-ruff. Unger won with the ace
of hearts, entered dummy with the
king of spades, and took the club
fineSSe.
When the queen held the trick,
he followed with the ace, and
small club, which was ruffed in
dummy. He then played out the
remaining trumps, discarded his
last club on dummy's long spadSA
and conceded a diamond trick at
the end.
Playing in this manner, Unger
made five hearts. with go honors,
top score on the hand.
Contract Play
A T contract the hand should be
N played at four spades. This is
a far safer declaration, for five
spades can be made against any
defense, while the heart game re-
quires a favorable opening.
Some North players bid spades
even at auction, but the results
showed that the pass by Mr.. ING
er's partner was justified. for the
extra honor count at hearts enabled
his team to win the match.

Solution to Previous
Contract Problem
BY w. E. M'KENNEY
Secretary American Bridge League

NTANY people believe that con-
Iva tract is basically the same as
auction bridge. except that games
and slams can not be scored unless
bid. True enough, both games are
members of the whist family, but
that is about all they have in COM
mon.
The bidding is radically different,
and information gained during the
bidding usually has material effect
on the play.
Today's hand will show how the
same cards would be played at total
" different declarations in auction
and contract, with a corresponding
difference in defense. The hand
was played in the auction event at

STEEL OUTPUT UP 4
POINTS DURING WEEK
Operations Reach Sc Per
Cent of Capacity.
By Times Special

By Times Special
CHICAGO. April 27.-Steel out
put increased 4 points last week
to Sc per cent of capacity on the
basis of the influx of specifications
against contracts placed prior to up
ward price revisions, according to
Iron Age. BY next week the opera
tons rate is expected TO surpass SO
per cent, which is the high point of
last year.
Chicago mills last week rose 5
per cent to SO per cent of capacity,
and Pittsburgh mills rose an equal
amount to As per cent of capacity.
Several steelmakerS are so heav-
lily booked that it is doubtful
whether deliveries can be completed
by the end of the present quarter
Some of the pressure is being
caused by structural steel awards
which last week amount to 20,500
tons against 1860 tons in the pre-
ceding week. and new projects call
ing for 49,100 tons, the largest total
since August. 1t is predicted that
shipments of pig iron in May and
June will be the largest in two
years.

NEW YORK. April 27.-The Beth
lehem Steel Corporation today re-
ported a net loss for the first quar-
ter of 1902 ,O44, as compared with a
net loss in the first quarter of 1888
of $5,769, 451.
Current operations are at 55 per
cent of capacity, against an aver
age of 1877 per cent in the first
quarter of the year. and 1858 per
cent in the final quarter of 1888.
Eugene Grace, president, said cur
rent operations are being fully sup
ported by incoming business, and
he felt certain the average rate
of activity in the second quarter
would be above the current SIS per
cent.
Value of orders on hand, March
81. totaled SIC, 345,878, against $751;
684, TAG on Dec. 81 and 1880 COL on
March 81, 1888.
Shipments in the first quarter,
Grace reported, we're about $4,000
tons less than IN the last quarter
of 1888. He explained this by say
ing there was some cleanup bust
ness in the last quarter last year
which resulted in the net profit for
that period.
In the first quarter of 1884 op-
erationS were a little higher than &C
tual shipments and some of the
