During 36 hours of almost constant questioning Wyman stubbornly insisted that he was innocent of murdering the young woman, but admitted that he was the father of her child, which would have been born in a few days, the state's attorney announced. Say Wyman Trapped

"Wyman has been trapped in a network of lies." the state's attorney continued. "And we have gained sufficient information to warrant a grand jury investigation of his connection in this baffling case." Sheriff Charles Knox and C. J. Bogart, Hoopeston chief of police, who aided the state's attorney in the investigation, corroborated Mr. Lewman's statement. All authorities working on the case virtually have agreed upon the murder theory, although the exact cause of death had not been ascertained. CHICAGO, April 29. Miss Gertrude Hanna in 1919 was classified in the

Cook county psycopathic hospital at

Chicago as a paranoiac, it developed

today. Accompanying her record at the institution was the official remark

"She has ordered a revolver and am0 munition to protect her from a man she believes is following her."

Miss Hanna a tew years ago was placed in an institution at Kankakee,

Questioned a3 to why she came to the hospital, ehe closed her eyes, and dazedly answered: "My father does not like my friend, and he does not like my fa.ther." She suddenly closed her eyes again during the questioning and said: "I hear so many voices but I cannot understand."

The old flag, ripped and frayed, is

being carefully preserved for the eyes of Americans of today and generations to come. An emblem of the many struggles through which this young country had to go, any visitor to Washington who falls to go to see this in

old, is making a regrettable mistake. The way in which Key happened to write the hymn is interesting. Under a flag of truce, young Key visited the British fleet lying off Baltimore to dis

cuss certain features of law affecting a proposed exchange of prisoners. The American emissary went aboard the

"Minden." flagship of the British Admiral Cockburn. As it happened, the British battle plans called for a bombardment of Baltimore, the time for the opening gun set for shortly after the time Francis Key came aboard the vessel. For obvious reasons, the British navel commander decided that it would be better to keep Key aboard the "Minden" during the engagement, virtually a prisoner. According to the British plan, the bombardment began at sunrise on September 13, 1814, and lasted until 7

o'clock in the morning of the following day. During the time this was going on the ardently patriotic young Key

was forced to watch his own compatriots under fire in Fort McHenry and Baltimore. All through the night Key naturally was unable to tell which way the fortunes of war veered. The night was a rainy, dark one," and the flashes of guns from the ships and shore batter

TEACHERS SCRAMBLE FOR POSITIONS, SAYS COUNTY SCHOOL HEAD

Because of business depression and consequent scarcity in positions, and lower pay, positions'' as teachers are more sought after now than they were

a year or more ago, according to C. O. Williams, county superintendent of schools. In a statement made Saturday Mr. Williams said that the chief trouble now was to sort out the best applicants where only a short time ago the chief trouble was to find enough applicants who could meet the requirements1. , Three hundred and ten teachers are employed outside the city of Richmond. As many as 20 applicants have their names on file for one school in some places, while a total of 200 have filed their names with the county sup- ' erintendent. One year of college education is required for a grade school teacher and

teachers in high schools must be college graduates, it was stated. The monthly state examination for teachers was held at the high school Saturday with approximately 100 taking the examination. The usual number is 50 or 60, and last month 110 took the test.

mended, it still reveals the signs of age and wear, and plainly shows that It has been through strenuous times. Th old emblem of this nation has little in common with the flag of today except the general plan on which it is made, with the blue field dotted

with white stars in the corner, and the alternate red and white stripes. However, where today there are 48 stars, in 6 horizontal rows of 8 stars

each, there are in the old Fort McHen

ning at the edge which would be next

the flagpole, there are three stars in

a row, then a row of two stars, then three, then two, three more, and two more. Old Flag Has 15 Stripes In the early days, it was customary not only to add a star for each additional "state admitted to the Union, but to add a stripe to the flag as well. When the country reached its day of

real expansion, this had to be stopped.

and the stripes in the flag were reduced to 13, to correspond to the 13

original colonies which were formed into the United States of America when this country freed itself from British rule. However, the country had not gone back to 13 stripes for its flag in 1814. and there were just as many stripes as stars In the blue field and the old Inspiration for Key's poem has 15 stripes.

light, saw the Stars and Stripes still

floating proudly over Fort McHenry,: and knew that his comrades were undefeated. The experience of waiting through the long, wet night for the news of the outcome of the bombardment, and the rush of joy when his eyes saw, across the stretch of water in the first faint light of early morning, the American flag still waving over the fort, were the inspiration for the poem which is known by heart today by every school child throughout the land. Soon after the cessation of the bombardment, Key was conducted ashore, again under a flag of truce, and immediately, while the glow of inspiration was still fresh in hi3 mind, penned the immortal words of "Star Spangled Banner." At the very time that Key was putting them on paper Admiral Cockburn- ordered anchors aweigh, and the British fleet headed down Chesapeake Bay, away from Baltimore, as fast as possible. Key sent a copy of his poem to a printer in Baltimore, Captain Benjamin Edes. Capt. Edes was instructed to have the poem printed and copies distributed about the streets to the citizens of Baltimore. One Ferdinand

Durang, a young man, first sang the

song when it wa3 just off the press. The tune put to it that of "Anacreon in Heaven."

Captain Edes, who had won consid

erable reputation as a soldier, took one of the first copies off the press, and dashed with it in his hand to a little tavern kept by a Mrs. Berling. Here the soldier-printer found Captain Warner and Long, Major Frailey,

young Durang, and other friends or his. First of all Captain Edes read the

printed poem aloud, his friends cheer-

erick. His home in Washington was one of the sights of the city for a long time, being torn down not long ago in order that a big new bridge connecting Washington with Virginia might have its Washington end on the site of the old Key home. The bridge is known to Washingtonians as the "Key Bridge" because of this fact. QUEEN OF ROMANIA PROBABLY WILL NOT VISIT U. S. THIS YEAR

Durang, who was possessed of none of that false modesty which afflicts many who verge on being'vocal artists, mounted a chair and put his heart Into singing "The Star Srangled Banner" for the first time.

This singing was kept up for several hours, so great was the enthusiasm and patriotic fervor moving the people of Baltimore because of the repulse of the enemy fleet of British ships.
