-STEAL CHERRIES AND CAUSE MURDER Soys Tell Tale of Wealth of Woman Who Owned Fruit and Polish Laborer Sees Chance to Rob. Hempstead, L. I., June 28.? Three boys stealing. cherries Wednesday in Mrs. Minnie S. Bartlett's orchard were the cause of her mur. der that same day. For when Lawrence Kulbal, 36, a Polish laborer, who happened to pass by asked them if they weren't afraid of being arrested, they replied: "Wa fttv? not afradi. Those cher ries belong to a rich woman who lives alone in that house over there." And that, according to Kubal's confession to the police, gave him the idea of robbery. "I was out looking for work that morning," he said, "and had no idea of committing crime. And then I met the three boys. That was aibout D o'clock. "I decided to go to the house. When I walked up the front step I saw a "for sale" sign on the house. A good-looking woman opened the door. I old her I wanted to 'buy the house. After some discussion as to the police, said he left ostensibly to consult with a relative. When he returned at 1 o'clock, carrying a sharp chisel in his pocket, he, gained admittance to the house. " I had decided if she let me in I would make her give ine ?500," said Kubal. "When she started to , open the front door again to let me out I told her I was Muffing and was a poor man. "She started to scream. I had a chisel in my pocket and took it out and told her if she didn't give me the money I'd kill her. She tried to open the door and I struck her across the face with the chisel and put my back to the door. "But she was a stronger woman than I thought, and began to fight. I struck her several times on the face and head with the chisel and knocked her down. But she dragged me into the dining room and tried to stalb me with a fountain pen she packed off the table. Then I knocked her down and made up my mind to kill her. All the time she was screaminj? and I thought "Will she never die?" So much did she seem to "be suffering.' f That ended the unequal battle and Mrs. Bartlett soon died, whereupon Kmbal threw some rugs over her and began a search for loot. Kubal's arrest followed his confessing to his wife that he was the slayer of Mrs. Bartlett. Panic-stricken, she ran to her brother with the news, and through him the information became known to the police. According to the police, Kubal admitted having been in jail at Albany, N. Y., Springfield, Mass., and New Jersey. He has been in this country eleven ' years and is the father of two children. 666 cures Chills and Fever. W. A.

I Col PRESIDENT HARDING ORDERS CREDIT SURVEY Washington, June 28.?President Harding has requested Secretaries Mellon and Hoover and Managing Director Meyer of the War Finance Corporation to conduct an investigation into credit facilities in the South with regard to the carrying over of| present cotton stocks until they can be marketed in an orderly way. j ; Announcement of the credit investigation was made today by Mr Hoover who said the committee named by the President would begin preliminary investigation of the subject im-' mediately upon the return of Mr. Meyer, who is now absent from the ' city. He said he had no definite program in mind as to what lines the in- ^. vestigation would follow, but explain-' ed that there had been many com-' i plaints about the insufficiency of : credit for carry over purposes. 1 The President seemed to have in mind, according to the commerce secretary, a desire to make credit avail- i r.ble in order that the stocks of cot- r ton from previous years, now stored . throughout the South, would not act , n rfpfcerrent to the crrowth of a full crop this year.

Milwaukee, June 28.?Are American women the worst gossips in the world? Do they love to shred each other's reputations and gloat over the remains? Are they "poison tongued?" Opinions differ. Some women admits the cacusation frankly and score their sex; some say that women are no worse than men. Judge John C. Karel believes American women are notorious gossips; Judge John J. Gregory says emphatically that they aren't. The discussion was provoked first by a statement of Judge Gehrz at the Evans divorce trial, in which he ararig-ned gossips who break up families, and now 'by the statement of Mrs. Katherine Clemens Gould, fashionable Nerw York divorcee, that American women love to dissect each other's characters. "If public sympathy was with Mrs. James Stillman in her divorce suit it wasn't due to women," said Mrs. Gould, former wife of Howard Gould. "American women stand together less than their sisters anywhere in the world. They are too narrow-minded." Mrs. Maude Kennan, prominent Milwaukee clubwoman and delegate to the Democratic national convention, admits Mrs. Gould's accusations. But she sees a change coming on. "There is no doulbt that there are many gossipy women," said Mrs. Gennan. "But I "believe as their lives broaden they grow more sincere and square like men. "Women are gossips, but no more than men?only in a different way," said Mrs. Milton H. Umbreit, for ten years a vice president of the Wisconsin Congress of Mothers. "The idle gossip. But the woman of today whose life is filled with outside interests will find no time for petty gossip. Men gossip, but in an indulgent, more charitable manner. "Nonaese," said Judge John J. Gregory, who tries hundreds of divorces every term of court. "I do not believe American women are worse gossips than other women. I don't believe gossiping causes divorce any more than it causes separation of friends." "Yes," Judge J. C. Karel said', "I t>elieve American women gossip more than others and the reason is quadruple?they are more intelligent, they have more time, they have telephones to gossip over and clulbs to go to, to hear and repeat gossip. "In Germany, for instance, the women devote themselves to knitting, cooking and other household duties. They have neither leisure nor clulba, and they do not sit down to half-hour telephone conversations." 666 cures a Cold quickly. BUYS A NEWSPAPER Ne-wbern, N.

OHIOANS PROTEST PIE DISTRIBUTION Washington, June 28?A complaint regarding the present distribution of civil appointments among the states was made to Preisdent ! Harding today by Senator Willis, I Republican, Ohio, and several Ohio J representatives. They asked that in | the government reorganization now I under way, each state be given as nearly as possible its proportionate share of federal appointments. According to figures compiled by Senator Willis and placed before the president, Ohio, is entitled to 2,388 civil service appointments and actually has only 1,505, while various other states are far in excess of their quotas. He called particular attention to the figures in his table showing that Virginia is entitled to 957 places but holds 2,484, that Maryland is entitled to 601 and holds 2,412. ^uiniiiiiimiiimmu^'^uiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiim*" U.
