PRIEST SLAYS GIRL

TO FULFILL VISION E (Continued rrom Pago One) ixn idnight, Sunday, summoned the fpriest from his room, where he was .preparing to retire, and got him down to the reception room. Staggers at Picture. Hardly had the priest stepped into the roorn when Inspector Faurot, waiving X picture of the murdered girl befoj he priest's eyes, demanded: "Where is that girl?" Schmidt gave one quick glance at the picture, staggered and almost fell. Then he said: "I killed her; I killed her because 1 loved her. Then I drank her blood." Fear Suicide. Schmidt was ordered to dress and accompany the officers to the station. He wanted to go alone to his room, Ibut detectives insisted upon accompanying him. Schmidt asked permission then to go to the bath room, but he was searched first and a razor was (found on his person. "What are you going to do with that kill yourself?" Schmidt was asked. "Yes," he answered calmly. "I made lip my mind to kill myself if I ever "Was arrested. Hut I never thought I tyould be." "I become infatuated with her," declared Schmidt. His infatuation, he confessed, led to his having illicit relations with the girl and when he learned about a month ago that she was to become the mother of his child, lie decided to rent a flat for her. Rents a Flat. He rented a tiny place at 68 Proadhurst avenue, paid a month's rent in advance, bought a few dollars worth of furniture and established the girl there. Schmidt's confession in concerte form, follows: "I met Anna Aumuller two years ' ago at the Parish house of St. Boniface church. I killed her because I loved her so much.' Details Murder. "I made up my mind that she and I could not live together. I was a priest and must remain with my church. So 3 opened the door of the flat. She was asleep in the room. I awakened her end to' her I had come to fulfill my threat. Then I drew the knife across her throat. "St. Elizabeth of Hungary, my patfon saint, had come to me one night bnd told me tlyit a sacrifice had to be made and that it must be done in blood. Just the same as Abraham was ordered to slay Isaac. Drinks Victim's Blood. . "So I killed Anna. After I had killfed her, I drank her blood, because blood was the sacrifice and then I threw her into the water because the Sacrifice called for blood and water. "I cut the body into six pieces. I rnade trips to the Fort Lee ferry each time with part of her precious body In the bundles. When the ferry boat reached the middle of the stream I would throw a piece into the water. JvVhen the boat reached the other side bf the water I would return, go back to the flat and get another piece of Jher body. I think I made about five br six such tripB. "After I had disposed of the body f wanted to destroy all evidence of the crime. I took the mattress on which J had slain her and carried it to a Vacant lot. There I buried it. "I am guilty and that is all I can Past Is Clouded. Schmidt when asked today concerning his past gave somewhat incoherent answers. At first he declared he was ordained by a European Bishop framed Kierstein. Later he declared that St. Elizabeth, his patron saint, bad ordained him. The Rev. Luke Evers, Catholic chaplain in the Tombs prison secured today from Schmidt the admission that he had been arrested in Munich. Mr. Schmidt Is insane," declared Father Pvere. A dispatch rfom Mainz, Germany. feaid that Johannes Schmidt belonged 10 that bishopric and had long been Under suspicion iiy 4he bishop. He was later arrested at Munich on the rharge of committing a number of frauds. He was acquitted by the tourts. and immigrated to New York. With a view of clearing up the mystery surrounding the murder of Alma Ivellner aged 8, whose mutilated body was found in quicklime in the basehient of St. John's Catholic church in jjouisville, the police today attempted lo obtain from Schmidt some state-1 fcnent of what he might know of that crime. Schmidt was in Louisville from August 190!) until March 1910, when the Kellner girl was murdered. John Weddling, janitor at St. John's church, is now serving a life term in the state brison for that crime but steadfastly flenied his guilt. Intellectual Humor, The reyion of intellectual humor. Which may be roughly illustrated by each sayings as that of George Sand that nothing is such a restorative as rhetoric or the claim advanced by a patriot that Shakespeare was undoubtedly a Scotchman on the ground that his talents would justify the supposition. The humor of George Sand's epigram depends npon the perception that rhetoric, which ought to be based npon a profound conviction, an overwhelming passion, an intense enthusiasm, is often little more than the abandonment of a personality to a mood of intoxicating ebullience, while the hnmor of the Shakespeare story lies In a sense of the way in which a national predilection will override all reasonab'e evidence.

4. arc ir' m DAVIS ENTERS HIS DENIAL TO CHARGE (Continued from Page 1.) could not depend upon public opinion to support him in such action. "When Dr. Bond retired from office he had about sixty Ccws tested for tuberculosis," said Dr. Davis. "When I J went into office I continued this work J and by the influence I brought to bear on the dairymen I succeeded in having over 200 more cows tested, and was congratulated for my work by the I state authorities. However, when the j bill passed practically placing a ban on such tests it was useless for me to continue my efforts, for the people in I this city had not insisted on tuber-! culine tested milk and the big majority of the dairymen did not want to furnish it. The loss of each cow, found to be infected with tuberculosis under the tests, had to be borne by the dairymen and they are just human enough not to want to meet such a loss if they are not required to do so." "How about the report that after you became health officer and before the law you mention became effective vou nassed the word around to dairy men that the Bond policy would not ! be continued under your administration?" he was asked. "That is absolutely false. I never did such a thing, nor did Dairy Inspector Flook." Dr. Davis replied. This is a flat contradiction made to a charge made by a dairyman last week.

Few women can be so familiar with the king of tb,e wilderness as Mrs. Fred Maturin (Edith Cedl-Porch). whose "Adventures Beyond the Zambesi" contain many thrilling lion tales. One evening she met a lion in a forest of impenetrable brass. She was quite alone her gun bearer, Lang Wan. having disappeared two miles from camp. "Through the long, dry grass a large male lion stood gazing at me. I stood as still as be. All my blood appeared to rush to my head. . 1 could not have stirred had I wished to. 1 stood still. L don't think I even breathed or that my heart gave one faint beat for some seconds. I must stand quite, quite still, and stare back. It was perhaps my only chance. In all her. terror she was conscious of the animal's great beauty. She watched him draw a step or two back: "I thought he was about to spring, but I took care not to move, mastering my terrible but fatal instinct to turn and run. Then be dropped his head and with obvious fear slunk quickly away." That waa at Dam river.

Fire Prevention Day Lesson Found In Summer "Flue" Fires

From May 15 to Sept. 1, a season when heating stoves and furnaces are not in use, there have been in Indiana 178 fires and a resulting loss of $101,427, due to defective flues. This fact based on figures tabulated in the office of the state fire marshal, emphasizes the necessity of a thorough inspection of all flues, before stoves and furnaces are lighted for the winter season. And, this inspection is one of the duties now being urged upon the people of Indiana as a part of Fire Prevention Day, Thursday, Oct. 9. Delay Is Dangerous. "In this, as in other vital matters, we realize the necessity for action, but we are apt to delay and postpone." said Fire Marshal Longley. "It is merely a question of getting the thing done, thereby avoiding the more frequent and more numerous fires arising from defective flues when the winter season sets in. "Fire Prevention Day sets a time when the citizens of the state may take proper measures for their safety. It fixes a certain day makes the time definite. When our people determine to do a thing, they do it. The time is chosen. All they need to do is to say 'I'll do it' and it will be done." Upon the showing that $100,000 was lost by fires from defective flues during three summer months, the yearly loss caused by defective flues would be 400,000 nearly half a million dollars. Reports from fire marshals in other states show that in the course of a year, the most frequent cause of fires ;s the defective flue. It causes more dwelling house fires than sparks from the chimney. Floes become defective, frequently, because the chlmaey la bail in the boose in such a way that It must bear

Lecture Platform

Miss Isabel Greus, a Gypsy violinist, e tar member of the Tyrolean Alpine Yodelars, who performed on the same platform with William Jennings Bryan, Secretary of State, at Media, Pa., where he delivered one of his Chautauqua lectures. Considerable comment was caused over the fact that the Secretary of State was advertised for this lecture as the chief attraction with a "one ring circus" which included as another main attraction the Tyrolean Alpine Yodelers.

For Fall Festival Mr. Bundy has completed his new studio at his home in West Richmond and Mr. Baker will work with him throughout the winter. Local Group Busy. The other members of the "Richmond Group" have not been idle and will contribute to the display some ex ceptionally good work. The annual general art exhibit at the galleries will not be held until the latter part of next month, Mrs. Johnston says. It promises to be the best ever shown here, including the best works of many of the most prominent American and foreign artists. Mrs. Johnston is now preparing her report as president of the Richmond Art Association for the year ending October 1. This report will show the finances of the organization are in a flourishing condition, that nine exhibits have been held during the last year and that the galleries were visited by over 11,000 people during that period, showing the interest taken by Richmond persons in the local art movement. The president's report in full will be published within a few days. part of the structure's weight. This causes the flue to crack when the hoase settles. Chimneys should be built from the ground up, and should never rest on wood supports. Bricks, blown down by the wind in the summer time, often result in defective flues. And when no inspection is made in the fall, the first knowledge of the accident comes to the householder when his home is in flames. Inspection is Preventative. An inspection on Fire Prevention Day would disclose such conditions, would reveal cracks where they exist, and would permit repairs in time to prm-ent a future fire. This inspection should be made particularly in the attic, and care should be taken to see that no inflammable material is kept near the chimney. In addition to the loss in dollars and cents, there is another hazard al ways present in the burning of a (home. In Wisconsin, in one year 28 j persons lost their lives in houses fired j by defective flues. Even Lambs May Turn. It appears that the lamb can tarn as well as the proverbial worm.

GIVES DISCOUNT IF! COURSE IN PR1HJIHG Typographical Union to Give Credit for School Hours on Apprenticeships.

Students taking the practical print ing course in the high school will have the time in hours spent in this vocational study discounted against the time served as an apprentice in any Richmond print shop, according to President Harrison, of the Typographical union. George O. Ballinger announced that the printers' outfit has been ordered and that it is one of the best to be secured. It will arrive in a few days. The outfit purchased -for the local school consists of a 10 by 15 power press with individual motor, paper cutter, stitching machine and full equipment of type. As necessity requires additions will be made from time to time to meet the number of students in this course. The cost of the out lit was about $850. Mr. Ballinger will install the equipment and have charge of the work until this department requires an instructor who may devote his full time to the class. At the start l1 hours three days of each week will be devoted to instruction. EXPECT BIGJIEETING Democrats to Elect Delegates This Evening.

It had not occurred to her that he might impulsively say goodby and go out of her life forever, but apparently she had misjudged him. and now he was gone, gone, alas, and she was left alone to nurse a vain regret. Half swooning, she sank into a chair and covered her face with her bands. Tears trickled between her lingers. and bitterly she reproached herself. "Why." she sobbed, "did 1 let him go? I have lost him! Oh. foolish girl that I was, not to have put my arms around his neck before it was too late and asked him to forgive me!" But hist! Suddenly she raised her bead and listened. Yes: there was some one at the door. It is he! Hastily dashing the tears from her eyes, she assumed an uncompromising look. He had returned to sue for peace. She must compel him to humbly admit that be bad been wrong. It was be duty to herself to lusist that he must surrender unconditionally. He rang the bell, but she did not rush to let him in. Not until be rang again did she go to the door. For a moment they stood facing each other. Proudly she waited for bim to begin his plea for mercy. At last he spoke. "I'm sorry to trouble yoa," he said, "but 1 forgot my rubbers." Chicago Record-Herald. CALLED HIM A MAJOR. And a Major He Remained, For the Emperor's Word Had Passed. Emperor William I. of Germany prided himself upon the fact that his subjects considered his word as binding as the "laws of the Medes and Persians." An amusing incident in Mrs. Hugh Fraser's "Reminiscences of a Diplomatist's Wife" shows that the people's confidence was not misplaced. One day the emperor's adjutant. Count Seckendorff. presented au officer to him upon the latter's promotion to major. "Congratulations, major." said the emperor. The otScer glanced at him an instant with an expression of astonishment and delight, then bowed and withdrew. Presently, to his dismay. Count SeckeBdorff discovered that the officer thus promoted was on of two brothers and that it was the other one. the elder, who bad just reached bis majorif v Th o rnnn?r hri f b pr n hn h i just been presented to the emperor.
