the night on the story, dropped into Center street restaurant for breakfast The truth of the matter was this:
 Bruno Richard Hauptmann, the key figure in the case, was held; his wife was merely questioned and released. The owner of the house where Hauptmann lived, and taxi driver had been questioned, also. At that time no one else had fig ured in the case.
 Yet, as waited for breakfast a dozen taxi-drivers and other night owls were discussing excitedly the greatest news release of the year.
 T tell you" screamed one cab by, ''they's got the whole gang seven men and three women. Yes sir, and they've confessed
 Say, they oughta lynch that guy" growled the waiter.
 Didn't you hear?" calculated the cabby who had given the informa- tion of the seven arrests, they al- most did. There was a mob ir Greenwich street and they almost got him. Now they've took him off somewhere and hid him."
 It Was Mrs. Hauptmann
 What really happened was that a mob of the morbidly curious crowded around a nearby restau- rant when Mrs. Hauptmann was escorted there by detectives fol dinner. It was about 10 o'clock 1T the evening. No sign of violence was in evidence. All the mob want. ed was look at her.
 The crowd did mill around ex' citedly when she made her ap- pearance, but she was whiskec across the street so quickly thai only a few really glimpsed her. A soon as she entered the restaurant the police compelled the proprie tor to bar all doors. When thii took place one gangling attempt ed to force his way upside. but an aproned attendant quickly changed

his mind for him. Instantly a shout went up, and as the word of fisticuffs spread it probably car ried the seeds of that wild lynch ing rumor that so miraculously enveloped the city.
 Hauptmann, meanwhile, had been taken up to the Bronx and turned over to the district attorney.

NEW YORK, Oct. 22-Not even scandal travels faster in New York than rumor. An hour after the cur tain fell dismally on New York s part of the 1884 baseball season there was a wild story sweeping through the streets that Prince Hal Schumacher, one of the ace pitch- CTS of the club, had socked Bill Terry, the manager, in the eye.
 I heard it in downtown restau- rant. Later in the evening while travelling with friends to a 6ur- burban community, the story had gained surprising proportions. By this time Hank Leiber, recently recruited outfielder, and Mel Ott slugging rightfielder, were supposed to have joined with Schumacher and ganged Terry somewhere in Greenwich Village.

Now wasn't Uncle Wiggily silly?
His wife had told him only to pick
black berries. But he forgot to re-

berries, so he started to pick them.
He was really picking unripe, sour
blackberries, which had been green
at first, were now red and. in lit
tie longer would be ripe and black.
But Mr.. Longears didn't know. He
filled his basket with the sour red
berries.
Nov Nurse Jane can make me a
fine berry pie" he said.
When his basket was filled with
the sour red berries, Uncle Wiggily
started to hop home. But he had
not gone very far before he felt an
other tug at his coat.
"Ha! Hal he laughed. Another
bramble briar has hold of me. But
this time l know it isn't a Police
Dog. Let me go, bramble briar!" But
when Uncle Wiggily turned to look
he was surprised. The Bob Cat had
hold of him, his claws stuck in the
bunny's coat.

THE TOLEDO SHOOTING

1t probably is unfair. without having
been present as an eyewitness. to con-
demn the action of Ohio militia in firing
into group of strikers at Toledo yes
terday, killing two men and wounding
dozen others
But from newspaper dispatches re-
porting the tragedy one is justified in be-
lieving that somebody" lost his head
somebody did not act wisely in order
ing the troops to fire directly into the
ranks of the strikers.
Indeed one of the higher officers on
the scene, Colonel William l.. Marlin, is
reported as stating that his men had re-
ceived no order to fire. Presumably he
means no order from high official and
that the shooting was the result of orders
from subordinate officials.
Other accounts of the shooting assert
that the shooting order was intended to
send a volley over the heads of the strik-
ers and that excited militiamen fired too
low
Whatever the true facts are, it re-
mains that American soldiers fired on a
group of American citizens-not pretty
thing to contemplate.
A gas bomb barrage against the strik-
ers seems to have failed because the mil
tlamen threw the bombs too hurriedly
enabling the strikers to pick them up
and send them back into the uniformed
ranks.
This, coupled with the confusion re-
garding the shooting order, indicates the
need of an inquiry into the action Of the
troops. That there was a lamentable
lack of discipline and control of the
troops is only too apparent from the in
cidentS enumerated
We hold no brief for the strikers who
were clearly violating the law, but it
does seem that cooler heads, better
trained troops and officers able to COM
mand and control the troops are sadly
needed in the Ohio National Guard
Tear bombs CAN be effective against
an unruly mob without doing any per-
nanent damage. 1t does not seem that
anything more severe than this method
of putting down a riot was needed yes
terday.
