GIRL’S SLAYER SEN. NEW’S SON?

MURDERER DRIVES TO POLICE STATION WITH BODY. ‘ Los Angeles, Cal., July 5.—-In his cell at the city jail tonight Harry S. New, who this morning surrendered to the police as the murderer of Miss Frieda Lesser, 21, of Glendale, Cal., his sweetheart, told this story of the killing and said that he was ready to die as he wanted to join the women he loved. New, 82 years old, who said he is the son of -Senator Harry S. New, of Indiana, drove up to the police station this morning in an automobile containing the body of the young woman. “We had planned to be married today,” he aid. “At the last moment wFrieda interposed objections and I proposed that we take an auto ride to some quiet spot where we could talk things over. Reaching a lonely spot, I started pleading with her to marry me at once. “She remained obdurate and said she would resort to any means rather than become my wife. That made me mad, and almost before I knew it, I had -snatched a revolver Which was kept in the. machine as protection against highwaymen and shot her through the head. I believe she died almost instantly. “For nearly two hours I drove with Fmaa lying beside me. Then it dawned on me what a horrible deed I had done. J decided the best thing to do was to bring the body to the police station and surrender.” He said he had borrowed the automobile from his mother, Mrs. Lulu M. Berger, of Glendale, and had driven with the girl to Venice, then through Hollywood and finally up the Tepangro Canyon road, where their quarrel culminated in the shooting. New is of slight build. He displayed no evidence of excitement and officers said he had not been drinking.* Indianapolis, July s.—Mrs. Lulu Burger, mother of Harry S. New, who today surrendered to the Los Angeles police as the murderer of Miss Frieda Leser, left Indianapolis late tohight for in Glendale, Cal. Mrs. Burger stated that New is the son of Senator Harry S. New, of Indiana, and that she was divorced from Senator New about eighteen years ago. Mrs. Burger also said she expected to wire Senator New and solicit his aid in behalf of the son. Washington, July 5. —Senator New issued a statement tonight denying that he and Mrs. Burger ever were married or divorced. When shown a dispatch from Indianapolis quoting Mrs. Burger, Senator New said: “The only thing I care to add is that the statement from any source that Mrs. Burger and I were ever either married or divorced at any time at under any name is absolutely untrue.”

FIRST BAND CONCERT OF SEASON WEDNESDAY EVENING

Rensselaer is to have her first ■band concert of the season Wednesday evening of this week, which will be good news to the people of this vicinity who have always relished the splendid music supplied by the local organization. Agitation for a band has been in evidence since early spring, but owing to the lack of a concerted effort on the part of those interested there has been no headway made. It as understood that the city council has _agreed to subscribe for the maintenance of a band at :ts rext meeting, which will be held next Monday evening. There is plenty of musical talent in the city and practically al’ of the former members are again home after their war duties, which in itself insures that the former standard will be upheld. For the present the band will be under the direction *of John Heajy, and the concerts will be held on the court house steps as before.

OH, WHAT IS SO RARE AS A THOUGHT OF JUNE?

Now that you rode “fourth” safe and sane, where shall we spend thanksgiving? It should be a trig event, for you’ll probably have that new Oakland by then and be a regular face on Gasoline Alley. • Gasoline Alley is where they call your machine a pencil sharpener, or something else that never works. Now human nature is the same in Rensselaer as in G. A. That is, if your car ain’t like mine, your a junk dealer. All cars are some trouble, but some cars are not all trouble. Meaning the Oakland is less than onehalf of one per cent “kick.” Fancy now, the good times, on those good roads, in a good car. I’m not asking you to buy an Oakland. I’m tellin’ you. HUGH KIRK.

CAN HAVE ONLY MY DEAD BODY, SAYS FREDERICK.

Amsterdam, July 6.—“ The allies can only have my dead body; I will myself decide on my life or death,” the former German crown prince is quoted as having said Friday in discussing a possible demand for extradition. This statement, reported by a British wireless service correspondent, was said by him to have been made to a Dutch official who talks daily with the former crown prince. .According to this official, Frederick Hohenzollern is in excellent health. He takes motorcycle trips daily and frequently visits both the rich and poor on the island of Wieringen.

“THE FLYING LION,” BY EDISON MARSHALL.

In the current issue of the- Blue Book magazine is to be found a production entitled, “The Flying Lion.” The author of the tale, which has its setting in- the woods of the great northwest, is Edison Marshall, of Medford, Ore., who was until a few years ago a resident of this city and a son of George Marshall, former editor of the Republican. It is one of a series of stories which Mr. Marshall is writing at the present time, the first one having appeared a month or so ago in the Blue Book. Mr. Marshall’s fame as a short story writer is steadily increasing and he has already written many stories which 'have been published in the leading magazines of the country. His stories generally turn to animals and nature, he being a lover of outdoor life, and the present series deal with those subjects. Wierd and far-fetched, though they may be', nevertheless they always prove intensely interesting and never fail to grip the reader throughout, and have placed Mr. Marshall on a plane as the leading animal fiction writer of the country today. “The Last of the Missing Seventeen,” written by the Rensselaer 'boy in 1917, was proclaimed one of the best ten short stories produced in America that year by the leading authorities of the country. . » It is a source of great pleasure to his many friends here to witness his steady rise in the world of authors and his future stories will ■be awaited eagerly by the people of this city.

SUPER ZEPPELIN COMPLETES ATLANTIC FLIGHT.

.Mineola, N. Y., July 6.—Great Britain’s super dirigible R-34, the first lighter than air machine to cross the Atlantic oeean, anchored here at Roosevelt flying field at 9:54 a. m., today (1:54 p. m. Greenwich mean time) after an aerial voyage of 108 hours and 12 minutes which covered 3,130 knots, approximately 3,600 land miles. 'Passing through dense banks of clouds, with the sun and sea visible only at rare intervals, the R-34 was forced to cruise 2,050 knots to reach Trinity Bay, N. F., from East Fortune, Scotland, and 1,080 knots from there to Mineola. The R-34 headed southwest out across the Atlantic along the coast of Maine, her nose pointed Tor Cape Cod, with the United States destroyer Bancroft hanging on her trail and in constant wireless communication with her. The destroyer stuck close in the wake of the air monster, running under forced draft until Cape Cod was reached and then the dirigible cut across lots. As she cruised over Riverhead the dirigible came within range of the wireless telephone installed at the Roosevelt field by the navy radio senrice and perfect communication was established. During the night the wireless calls from the. R-34 were received by the navy radio station in New York. Over the wireless phone it was explained to Maj. Scott that a large part of the crew assembled to assist him in landing had been sent to Montauk Point in motor trucks in the expectation that he would tie up there and that consequently preparations for receiving him had not quite been completed. The mammoth balloon was sighted in the distance about 9 o’clock and fifteen minutes later was over Roosevelt field. She cruised about in a circle at a height of about 1,000 feet until word was telephoned that everything was in readiness for the landing. ■ „ ■ . \ When the super Zeppelin amved here she had left only enough petrol to keep her moving ninety minutes longer. Her crew; almost sleepless for four and a half days, were weary almost to the point of exhaustion hut happy at the successful completion of their epoch-making trip. The return voyage will be begun Tuesday at 8 a. m.
