The Girl's Story.

The girl told Police Captain Collins the following story: "I met Burr first two years ago. I was just fifteen. He had obtained a llvorce for my mother. One night he told me he would i.ke me to see a cabaret. We saw several. It was late when we finished. He told me he would take me to the homo of his Bother, "I trusted him and went. I spent Q»e night there. Burr treated me nicely for some time, providing me With money and 'clothing. I became tired of doing nothing, however, and pot a job in a grocery. I lived at the fileanor club. "Burr would often visit me at the rlub. Occasionally he would take me to his home. His mother was an invalid. Then I learned that he was not true to me. He had obtained a divorce lor my half-sister, Mane, and he pought to pay her attentions. She told toe about it. I learned of other women. I I Tells of Blonde Rival.

That made me wild. I pleaded with ktm. laughed at me. Then one day showed me the picture of a blonde girl on his desk and said tauntingly: *"That*» the girl I'm going to Jnarry.' "I decided then and there I would Iboot him."

Margaret has been a ward of the favenile court since last November, when her mother disappeared, leaving her without a guardian.

Assistant State's Attorney Robert )&. Hogan made the following statement: "Margaret was taken under the care if the court when it was shown condilons at her home were not proper for ler. She was placed on probation in k private home, where she did general housework. "When Margaret first appeared In kmrt Attorney Burr was her counsel. Sometime later she told me she was •tog with him. I told her I saw notliwrong with that so long as their ktions were proper. Later she told

graduate of the Chicago

Kent College of Law. He joined the Chicago Ear association in 1913. He was engaged to marry a young divorcee, Elsie Sauter, daughter of a wealthy attorney. Since the murder another "Mrs. Burr" has appeared with a four-year-old child.

Burr among his friends posed as a bachelor He was unusually successful in his profession, and his complicated love affairs were a shock to his acquaintances.

MAKING OF SOFT DRINKS.

Water, Flavoring, Sweetening and Carbonic Gas Used Mostly. Have you any idea what things are in the bottled soft drinks you consume—those three billion bottles that, unhampered after July 1 by strong competition, may grow to more billions? .Well, some contain one thing, some another, but all contain water, flavor, sweetening and carbon dioxide gas. Those four things are the basic essentials of a bottled soft drink. There is likely to be some coloring matter and there may be an acid—usually either the citric acid found in lemons or tartaric acid found in grapes, though some times mineral acids are used. Frequently, there is a condiment, such as red pepper, cinnamon, allspice, cloves or nutmeg. There is almost certainly a trace of alcohol. And that just about covers what is likely to be found in soft drinks, according to specialists in the bureau of chemistry, United States department of agriculture.

Prior to 1914 the sweetening used

was almost universally granulated white sugar. When the shortage of sugar began to be felt, however, large use was made of such substitutes as corn syrup or glucose, corn sugar or commercial dextrose, maltose syrup, refiners' syrup and honey. Such substitutes were encouraged as a war measure by the department of agriculture, which now thinks it probable that some of these substitutes will be used regularly. The department is even of the opinion that the use of certain substitutes Is frequently desirable. A larger quantity of the substitute is ordinarily required to secure the same treasure of sweetness. Thus the drink is given more body and has a higher food value.

Food value in a soft drink is ordinarily not considered by the person who consumes it, his object being the delectation of tho palate or the quenching ot thirst but the fact remains that good soft drinks do contain considerable food. Such products as ginger ale, the phosphate drinks, the grape drink* and lemon sours contain from three-fourths to one and a half ounces of sugar to each half pint bottle, which is equal to or double, approximately, the sugar ration allowed to a meal under war conditions, One hundred thousand tons of sugar are used each- year in the soft drink industry.

SNOW PUDDING.

One tablespoon granulated gelatine one-fourth cup cold water, one cup boiling water, one cup sugar, onefourth aup lemon juice, whites of three eggs.

he says is still more important and the only thing he fears—facing his mother. Mrs. Lulu Burger, the mother, reached her Glendale home today from Indianapolis while the funeral of Miss Lesser was in progress. Seeking to avoid the curious, she left the train at Pasadena and was taken by automobile to her home.

Fears to Meet Mother.

Hearing his mother would visit him before night. New apparently was steeling himself for the meeting.

Mrs. Burger is expected to immediately begin the work of formulating a definite defense.

Already Dr. L. O. Sawyer has made a mental examination of New. He declares he believes New does not know the real difference between right and wrong at all times'—that he Is not a sane man.

There are rumors that New's defense has been financed from a source which will not come to light immediately.

New Trembles at Inquest. New admits that yesterday was his hardest day thus far. He eat during the inquest, recoiling as if from a physical blow when detectives

presented in evidence the gun which New gave to them during the cold dawn of Saturday when he drove to the police station with the body of Frieda Lesser in the back seat of his sedan.

Again he recoiled when P. A. Wagner, county autopsy surgeon, testified the fatal shot probably was fired from a distance of not more than six inches.

Following the inquest. Dr. Louise Auerbach, who represented Miss Leaser's mother at the autopsy, declared it had been revealed that New's story of Miss Lesser's condition was correct and that the girl had £een an expectant mother.

CHTLDIEN TRAMPLED TO DEATH

Panic Over False Alarm Resulted In 130 Losing Their Lives. Valence-sur-Rhone, in the Drome department of France, where the terrible motion picture theater panic occurred recently, is in mourning. The bells of the cathedral and the churches two days after the tragedy were toiline the death knell of the victims, mostly little children. All the flags on the public buildings were draped with crepe. The theaters stopped their performances and many shops closed.

More than 131 deaths resulted from the disaster. Hundreds were injured,

but the majority are rapidly recovering, as fortunately their injuries were generally slight.

The disaster took place at a concert and motion picture entertainment given in connection with the Joan of Arc* festival at the Sainte-Madeleine hall, a theater with three galleries, standing in some fine garaena.

It accommodates four thousand people, and was crowded, the second and third galleries being thrown open free to children, many being accompanied by their mothers or grandmothers. There were not more than eight hundred in the building.

The entertainment was nearly over, at a quarter to five, when flames shot out of th® motion picture operator's box where a film had caught fire. Shouts of "fire!" arone, anu an the children and women rushed from the galleries to the stircase.

Before those who first reached the exit doors had time to open them they were knocked down and trampled or crushed to death by the hundreds following, many of these sharing the same fate in their turn. Similar piles of struggling and shrieking women

and little ones were formed at some of the turnings in the staircase. The bishop, who was sitting1 in the front row of the pit, made stentorian appeals to the audience to be calm, but in vain. Then, by a happy inspiration, he ordered the orchestra to play the "Marseillaise," and its strains gradually allayed the panic.

In reality there had been no danger. The fire was confined to the operator's box, where he manfully extinguished the flames at the cost of severe burns.

But death had done its ghastly work among the panic stricken, and when the men, who had behaved well throughout, went to the rescue, many of the little ones were past help. Their tiny faces showed that they had suffered terribly. Their little arms were stretched out in many cases as though imploring aid. Blood was spattered on the walls and steps. Tiny baby shoes torn to pieces were strewn about the stairs, as well as srtreas of frocks, crumpled hats, umbrellas and women's handbags.

All the doctors and ambulances of Valence were called out and the dead and injured, were removed to the hospitals.

When the news spread through the town anxious parents ra,n to the hall and the hospitals, ana tnere were many heart-rending scenes as the little ones were identified. Some mothers refused to believe that their children were dead, and carried them home in their arms. This fact made it difficult to compile a complete list of the dead, as the heart-broken parents would not at first go to register the deaths.—From the Continental Edition of the London MaiL
