Spark Alone Needed to Set Off Another Conflagration in Europe, Says House

By RALPH H. TURNER United Noes Staff Correspondent (Copyright, 1922, by United News) LONDON, Aug. 29. —Only a spark is needed to set off an explosion as terrible as Europe witnessed In 1914, Col. E. M. House warned In an exclusive Interview with the United News, following his arrival here from a two months’ trip on the Continent. “No one knows what may happen ir. Europe, such is the gravity of the situation there at present,'* Colonel House said. “There is a process of gradual disintegration going on,” he added. “Only an ignition spark such as the

‘LEATHER BOTTLE,' FAMOUS DICKENS lI,JOB SILT Souvenirs of Author's Life Make ‘Certain Liveliness on Markets. LONDON —There Is a “certain liveliness" In the Dickens market at the present time. The house where Dickens spent part of his boyhood has been turned into a children's library; the house where he spent the first part of his married life is to become a museum. Now comes the news that the famous Leather Bottle at Cobham is to be sold. The Leather Bottle, lying in a charming village In one of the loveliest parts of Kent, has this distinction, that, while Mr. Pickwick went there once, Dickens went there very often. He was familiar with the village when a boy at Chatham; he renewed his acquaintance while he was spending his honeymoon at Chalk, hard by; he took Maclise and Forster there for two or three days on their way back from Rochester; he slept at the “Leather Bottle” occasionally; and when he was living at Gad's Hill he would often wander across to the scenes' of his youth. “Round Cobham,” says Forster, “skirting the park and village and passing the ‘Leather Bottle,’ famous in the pages of ‘Pickwick,’ was a favorite walk with Dickens.” The village today is pretty much as Dickens knew it; the Leather Bottle is more Dickensian than when Mr. Pickwick went there in search of Mr. Tracy Tupman, who had retired from the world after his disappointment at the hands of Miss Rachel Wardle. Pickwick, Winkle and Snodgrass found Tupman at Cobham. seated in a long, low-roofed room, furnished with a large number of high backed leathercushioned chairs of fantastic shapes and embellished with a great variety of old portraits and roughlycolored antique prints. Mr. Pickwick took him over to the neighboring churchyard (the church, by the way, contains one of the finest collections of monumental brasses in the country), and talked him into reason. The original sign now hangs inside the Leather Bottle, and its place over the door is taken by a picture of Mr. Pickwick addressing the club. The old-fashioned shutters, the red-tiled roof and the small windows are there. So, too, is the low-roofed room, with its high-backed, leather-cushioned chairs, where Tracy Tupman was discovered. The antique prints and por* traits have been supplemented by a vast collection of Dikens portraits, 6cenes from the novels, and other relics associated with the great novelist, until the place has become a veritable museum. Here summer by summer come thousands of visitors to whom Mr. Pickwick Is as real as Dickens himself. There can be only one future for the Leather Bottle; it must be knocked down to a purchaser who will be as sympathetic as the present owner has been during the last thirty-five years he has held It.

Slain Mountaineer’s Wife Escapes Like Fate Through Snores of “Collie Jim”

By XEA Service SAN DIEGO, Cal., Aug. 29.—A faithful dog, lying outside the door of a lonely mountain cabin, is credited with saving the life of Mrs. Florence Kester and bringing about the arrest of a man, accused of slaying her husband. A snore from “Collie Jim" and the woman’s quick wit drove the slayer away. And then Mrs. Kester, halfclothed, escaped by running barefooted In the night across three miles of the San Diego mountains to the main highway. The man, fleeing because he thought the noise the dog made was the husband, reviving from the clubbing he had received, was caught with the aid of the Scotch collie. He is in Jail, and is said to have confessed to the sensational "moonshine murder.” Police say the two men had been engaged in the illicit whisky traffic at the mountain cabin and that in a quarrel the man under arrest killed the husband, Tom Kester, by beating him over the head with a pick handle. Then he attacked the 20-year-old wife. The prisoner told police that before the murder he feared the dog would get him into trouble and he asked Mrs. Kester why she kept the "cur.” "Oh, I don’t know,” the girl replied. "but you know sometimes a dog will save a person’s life.” Came the night of the murder—midnight. Said Mrs. Kester: “Just after the murder of my husband, I was in the hands of that terrible man. I wondered then where the dog was. "Finally I heard him breathing, just outside the door. He was snoring like a human being. I thought for a moment how I could make the most of that. My husband was lying outside, beaten to death. “Then I thought if I could make that man believe Tom was coming back I could escape. The dog gave me the very chance. I waited until he gave a loud snore. \ “ ‘Tom's coming back.* I screamed.

Youthful ‘Matrimonial Agents' Discover Lucrative Employment

“Mister, watcha give fer a good-look-ing girl? Ja gimme a nickel for ’nordinery dame? ’Nen, p’raps, on a special order wee can bring ye a strikin’ beauty fer a dime.” Messrs. Jack Stearns and Gus Singleton, ages 7 and 9, respectively, found this brief spiel the most lucrative of any scheme they thus far tried this summer. Existence in the Cambridge Apartments for boys, they say, has been woefully drab, and, following suggestions of their mothers, Mrs. Edna Stearns and Mrs. Brooks Singleton, they started out on a venture which bids fair to outrival any the boy clan has originated. Their mothers simply suggested that the boyß make their own spending money, and I

ACTION OF FORD PUZZLES BIG FINANCIAL INTERESTS

Other Motor Manufacturers Have Sufficient Fuel to Keep Going. By United Financial NEW YORK. Aug. 29.—The action cf Henry Ford in closing down his plants on Sept. 16 because he is unable to obtain coal at a reasonable price, puzzles the financial district here. In the first place Ford has always been counted the most powerful as well as the most resourceful of the motor makers. The coal shortage which Ford says has forced him to close Is not having the same effect on motor manufacturers who might have been expected to have been hit before Ford. A number of companies are reported to have sixty to ninety days* coal supply on luind and even though their electrical power were cut off. they could resort to gasoline engines. Motor manufacturers generally are reported less concerned about fuel than about the prospect of delayed deliveries through the rail strike. May Be Huge Gesture Because of these considerations many believe that Ford is indulging in a huge gesture to awaken the country to the problem of settling the current strikes and of acting against the profiteering which has arisen because of them. This would be an unusual action, but Ford has shown In the past that he does not hesitate to do unusual things if he believes they will accomplish the results he Is after. Meanwhile the conditions In the coal market here show that the prices asked several days ago have been cut and that consumers feel they can be more particular about the kind of coal they are getting. MULE PRICES UP Woman Calls Police and Complains of “Logger.” Failure to keep pace with the rise In white mule prices caused Agnes Monday. 1238 Brooker St., to call the police and complain she had been robbed.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Europe back on its feet. This program. the result of Colonel House’s numerous trips to Europe and his conversations among the wide circle of European statesmen with whom he >s on intimate terms, can be summed up as follows: Summary of Conclusions 1. Reconvening of the International Bankers conference to take up the whole reparations and European financial situations simultaneously. 2. Revitalization of the League of Nations by new non-aggression pledges among its members. 3. European disarmament both physical and mental.

the boys—well, they did it. Saturday their earnings totaled 90 cents. They were dividing the money, recounting their exploit, as one would say, "remember this old fellow? He gave us a dime. Wasn't he foxy?” Selling papers didn’t seem to be in it for Jack and Gus, specialists In juvenile ready money. Something new, they saw, was what the public wanted. Something with a kick, or, as Gus said, "with lotta snap.” Talk about psychology of salesmanship, Is there a man in the world that wouldn’t give 5 cents for the choice girl of Indianapolis, and 10 cents for a prize beauty? Certainly not! They just picked the man, sold their product and said, “There's your girl. Mister, Take her if she satisfies.”

Industry Generally Is Going to Continue Operations Without Change. By United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 28.—Industry in general does not plan to follow the lead of Henry Ford in closing down plants because of the coal shortage and prevailing high prices of fuel, a survey made by the United Press showed today. Some plants, however, have already curtailed operations or plan to do so soon. The packing plants, largest Industry of Chicago, report that they are operating sixty per cent on oil and forty per cent on coal. The manager of Armour & Cos. said that In case of total lack of coal he could operate the plant entirely with oil. This same condition, he stated, applies to other packers. There has been a slight curtailment of subway service in New York, but Industry is not suffering much, owing to the Influx of Imported English coal. Industrial leaders at both Clncln-! nati and Chicago claim they have suffi-1 clent coal supplies on hand to guarantee operation. Tho large manufacturing plants in Milwaukee, including the Palm Olive Soap Company and the Allis Chalmers Motor Company, see no imme- i dlate prospect of a shut down or cur- j tailment. From Harrisburg, Pa., comes the re- ' port that tho steel industry there <■ curtailed not only because of the coal | shortage but also due to the railroad strike. Other than the Ford plants there ■ will be no shut down and very little curtailment In Houston, Texas and Oklahoma City, Kansas City, another packing city, is operating on a slightly curtailed basis. $4.50 FAIR COAL PRICE Federal Fuel Distributor Wire* Price Is Accepted. John W. McCardle today received a telegram from H. B. Spencer, Federal fuel distributor, to the effeot that a base price of $4.50 a ton for run-of-mine coal for West Virginia, Kentucky and Tonnessee mines has been accepted in Washington as a fair price for coal.

4. American assistance if Europe thus disarms. 6. Reduction of the German reparations, balancing of budgets, and stoppage of paper currency issues. Colonnel House indorsed the plan of James M. Cox for sending Herbert Hoover to Europe as a sort of unofficial arbitrator but he was doubtful if the suggestion would be adopted at Washington. “The trouble is that we tell Europe what to do without a willingness to do our part, whereas Europe asks our aid without showing sufficient inclination to do her part,” he said.

WOODSHOBTAGE SLOWS MAKING OF NEWS PRINT Future of Paper Industry Depends on Replenishing Supply of Pulp. NEW YORK—Tho future of the newsprint industry in the United States depends in good measure on replenishing the depleted pulp wood areas near the mills, according to the National Bank of Commerce in New York. Production of newsprint has been at a standstill for some years and tho economic effect of having to ship raw material over long 'distances Is beginning to be felt. “In tho East, where the principal mills are located, It has been estimated that present supplier of pulp wood will be exhausted within twenty or thirty years,” the bank says in the September number of its magazine. Commerce Monthly, “although by the extensive practice of reforestation the cut-over areas near the mills could, within thirty or forty years, be made to yield more than the present consumption requirements of the United States. Import Half of Supply "Already the pulp and paper mills of some States are Importing more than half of their supply of raw material. While considerable quantities of pulp wood are imported into the United States from adjacent freehold ! lands of Canada, the newsprint manufacturing Industry in tho United States is beginning to feel the economic effect of having to ship raw material over long distances. "More than eleven and a quarter billion copies of dally newspapers are now printed annually In the United States. The gravity of the position i of the news print Industry In the United States is emphasized by tho fact that production of news print in the United States for some years has been practically at a standstill while production In Canada has trebled, j Only two news print plants have been I established In the United States since ! 1909. Pulps Too For From Mills. “There are supplies of pulp wood In the United States and its posses- j sions adequate to satisfy the require menta of the news print industry for years to come. These supplies, how- j ever, are in the western States and in j Alaska while ninety per cent of the news print mills of the United States are In the Eastern States which are also the main consuming centers. It Is Impracticable to ship pulp wood a long distance since transportation oosts rapidly diminish the margin of profits. “Apparently the most feasible plan for protecting the source of raw material Is to adopt a policy similar to that of many European countries in reforesting out-over and waste areas and conserving present supply. More than 60,000,000 acres of potential forest lands accessible to the present established pulp and paper mills In tho United States are now producing nothing. A production of one-third of a cord of pulp wood annually per acre on the waste areas would yield 20,000,000 cords or three times the present consumption requirements In the United States."

TICKLE ALIBI'OF SHOPMAN FAILS TO ME JURIST L. J. Mann Sent to Jail for Contempt of Federal Court by Judge Baker. The “Tickle Alibi,” one of the most novel ever presented in Federal Court, failed to save L. J. Mann, striking shopman of Peru, from being sent to Jail lor contempt by Judge Francis E. Baker in Federal Court yesterday. Mann attempted to explain an alleged attack upon a non-union shopman at Peru by offering the excuse that he was extremely ticklish and had leaped into a group of non-union workmen when one of his friends, standing behind him, tickled him suddenly. He was charged with violation of an injunction recently granted the Wabash Railroad. He was released on bond last night. Charles F. McKahn and Walter Hayes, both of 1326 Fletcher Ave., former Big Four employes, were ordered detained in custody of their attorney, James E. Deery, for violating the picketing clause of the Injunction. The case against Thomas F. Farrell, 227 S. State Ave., charged with throwing rocks through the windows of the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. Urick, 1624 Bates St., was ordered dropped by Judge Baker. He ruled the Big Four Railroad had failed to make its case. An agreement between seventy-two strikers at Logansport *%nd the Pen isylvania Railroad was approved by Judge Baker and the contempt proceedings ordered continued Indefinitely. The men agreed to obey the Injunction.

MUSICIAN DIES FOR LOVE German Music Master Commits Suicide Following Sweetheart's Death. NEW YORK —A strange story of an elderly German music master's Infatuation for a youthful protege that led both the master and the girl to suicide, has been unfolded to the police by the wife of Louis Koernmenlch, a noted composer and conductor. A week ago Vera Lehmann, a young petress known on the stage as Vera d’Artelle. was taken to Flower Hospital suffering from poisoning. She had been found unconscious on the floor of her mother’s costume shop In the Rialto district. She died the next day. Twelve hours later the body of Koemmenlch, clad In silk pajamas, was found on the floor of an apartment off Riverside Drive. The gas cocks of a stove were turned on. Koemmenlch had been asphyxiated. At his side was found a note, apparently scrawled In haste. It was not signed. "Just received word that Vera committed suicide. This being a great loss to me, there is nothing else left for me to do.” Koemmenlch was 50 years old, had been married thirty-seven years, and was the father of a son and two daughters. In 1912 he reached the height of his career, succeeding Walter Damroach as conductor of the Oratoria Society. As director of a Philadelphia Maenncrchor he won the Emperor William prize three years ago.

KANSAS CTTL, Mo. —One thousand letters, 300 of them proposals of marriage, have been received by Marie (Peggy) Beal, the black-eyed bobbed hair beauty awaiting trial for the murder of Frank Warren Anderson, her “perfect” lover,” she revealed. Miss Beal shot and killed Anderson in a downtown hotel two months ago v hen she suddenly discovered she was his “fiftieth love.” The men who want to marry Peggy are from all walks of life. A Detroit minister knows she Is “not all bad,” and would “lift her up." A Galveston sea captain would take her far out on the briny so she could forget the past. A widower of San Delgo Is certain she would make a “good pal,” while a convict in San Quentin prison writes he is doing “fancy work” and will soon have S9O, enough to get a divorce. Social workers and business men have also bombarded her with mall. But Peggy, who Is slowly recovering from a self-inflicted bullet wound at the time of th tragedy, says "love has gone from her life for all time and she has no intention of ever man rying again.” Six hundred of the letters, she said, are from heart-wrecked girls who see a similitude In their cases to hers. “These girl letters touch my heart,” said Peggy. “I know Just how the poor things feel."
