Mya I terious rumors of orgies in the fash-] ionable younger set are heard in con nection with a suicide, a * young1 socially prominent jurist, who for a time was associated with the State ! prosecutors tiff ice and is known to J have been an intimate of llaarmann, j More tragedies^ are looked for. i Meanwhile, spurred by last night's] ! protests at mass meetings, five differ- 1 ent sots of investigators are at work on the affair, three sets investigating the murders, and two sets investigat ing the investigators. The Prussian ministry has dis patched special agents to probe botn the murders and the activities of the police. The State prosecutor has started his own probe independent of the police investigation. The police officials, accused of negligence and incompetence, themselves demanded that the State prosecutor investigate their work. JIaaimann, weakened by the grill ing of Tim police, has fainted repeat edly but continues to dig up further details of his crimes from a reluctant memory. According to his story he used to prowl about the! streets for the purpose of luring boys of "girlisii faces" to his lair on the promise of tea cakes and a fourteen-year-old daughter to play with. As a matter of fact he didn't have a girl. He would procure boys for his fashionable acquaintances by treating theni to wine and the opera and promising them big times in a lux urious apartment. It was from these circles he is believed to have got the money that enabled him to live on a comfortable plane, to dress well and to assume the air of self-assuranca which deceived everyone. It is also charged that these fash ionable circles procured for Ilaar- 1 maim the "friendly neutrality" of the police, many of whom are said to have fraternized with him and re peatedly took part in drinking bouts. FREAKS OF THK STORM Strange Stunts of The Cyclone Which Swept C arolina. . Columbia* S, C., July 7 *- The tor nado is one of the most terrific forces known to nature, as can be shown by records on tile with the state relief headquarters of the American Red Cross, at Columo(p) which has on file many instances of the freakishness of whirling winds of April SO. These records show heavy objects blown about, dwellings de molished and little tract' of them found, great treed shattered as by large charges of dynamite and a street car blown off the track. * ? A new threshing machine, the property of J. W. Jackson, near Horatio, Sumter county, was de stroyed and practically no trace of it has been found. Mr. Jackson's sub stantial two-story dweljjng was de molished, and he has been unable to find where the upper story went to, and only about 200 bricks of two massive chimneys remain. v Near Dixiana, Lexington county, a 1,200-pound safe was picked up with the flooring of a house and deposited several hundred yards away in a field. At Horrell Hill, Richland county, the feathers were blown off chickens and they wandered around in a state of nudity. In the Walnut Grove section, Spar tanburg county, the body of a dead mule was found with the leg of a cow driven into its side. A four-tor. electric motor used in driving spindles at the Highland mill, Ande.rson, was blown from the build ing and laid into a field 50 foot away. On River street, Anderson, a street car was blown from the tracks and was laid on its side in an adjoining field 30 yards away. A massive smoke-stack at the Highland mills, Anderson, was dis placed from its base as smoothly if cleaved by a disk saw, was lifted, and deposited again on its base two and one-half inches out of plumb. It was necessary to pull it down. In eveYy storm area trees, some of them th ree feet in diameter, were twisted and shattered into splinters and in every section dwellings and out-houses were splintored as if chopped with an axe.

ON 01' A HO Statue ?l Famou* Scout Ue?dy For Unveiling f NVithvn a few months those who travel the okl Wyoming trail to Yel lowstone Park through the little town of Cody will coim- upon a bronze statue of the famous cowboy .for 'whom the town was named an equestrian statue, mounted on a granite terrace ami silhouetted *Jf4ill&t the sky. the .rider gazing westward to the Kockiea. A remarkable figure was Col. Wil liam F. Cody, better known as Buffulo Tflaij ft man whose life was tilled with adventure. He was, at various times, a rider of the I'ony Express when that was the only connection between the ranches and the rest of the world; a stage driver, a cowboy, a hunter, a guide, and an army scout. He engaged in lights with the Indians, in buffalo stampedes, and in thrilling old-fashioned round-ups. He always wore "shootin' irons and seldom missed a target, even when it was in swift motion. He was thoroughly familiar with every nook and cranny of the Western plains, and mountains and had hunted over almost every mile. They called him Buffalo Bill be cause of his record in shooting those great beasts, the American bison. He killed more than 4,000 in a year and a half. In fact the daughter was so great that it caused a protest. The meat was not wasted, however, for si that time the Kansas i acitic railroad was in the course of con struction and the bufFalo meat was distributed to the workmen for food. Wild riding and big-game shooting pall a bit as one grows older, so Col onel Cody capitalized his experiences by organizing a Wild West show. In his later days he did his cowboying more or less by proxy. But ah, the thrill when the great Buffalo Bill himself rode out into 'the arena! How small boys adored his splendid riding and his handsome figure! The gay trappings of the show, the bucking bronchos, the gallant cowboys, the yelling Indians ? well, even grown-ups enjoyed his dramatization of the West of the pioneer days. It was the traveling show that made Buffalo Bill popular in eastern America and in Europe. That show was an education in the thrills and hardships of frontier life; it gave vivid pictures of the difficulties of the early pathfinders of the nation, ahd illustrated the courage ol I pioneers and scouts. The Fourth of July this year was the day chosen for the unveiling of, the new statue. The ceremony will be a part of the program of the Cody Stampede, an exhibition of horseman ship and the prowess of the cowboys given yearly by the people of the neighboring ranches. For three day* Main street is a mass of life and color, cowboys in chaps and ^olorsd shirts, cowgirls in broad-brimmed hats and picturesque riding clothe*, Indians in gay blankets, tor three ^ays visitors can almost believe that the spirit of the old W est has taken possession of Wyoming again, be cause all the features of the <0.-. aie present. Colonel Cody's granddaughter, Miss Jane Cody Garlow, will unveil the bronze horseman, which is the wori of Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney Standing 15 feet high and mounted at a commanding altitude above th surrounding country, Buffalo Bill guards the trail. The statue is con sidered one of Mrs. Whitney's bes pieces of work. No pains were spared to achieve perfection in every detail; a horse was sent from the old Cody ranch in order that the propei type of model should be available ? - just such a horse as the cowboy used to ride. Smoky, the model for the statue, was shipped East, and Mrs. Whitney chose the type of rider she wanted and then had the two go through their paces fin Central park, while she studied each gesture and pose, selecting and rejecting time and again before she found what she be lieved would convey best the spirit of Colonel Cody's personality. At last visualizing him as reining in his horse to listen for any sound that might be brought on the wind, she caught the desired pose. Because of the size gfl the statue Mrs. Whitney had to have scaffolds, and a revolving platform constructed so that she could move around her subject with ease as she worked. When the question of placing the statue, with a suitable background arose, it was deemed necessary to build a special granite platform, which was no small piece of engineer ing. Mrs. Whitney made a trip to Cody so that she could see the exact setting of the work when it Bhould be completed. The magnificent gran* ite terraces with their horse and rider form the center of a scene which has on one side Rattlesnake mountain, on the other Cedar mountain, both peaks snow-capped through mo*t S>f the stream of water has been directed into a channel at the bast) of the terrace as a reminder of (,'olonel Cody's interest in irrigation. The Hutfalo Hill American associa tion, which has Gen, John 'J. Pershing ft> v its chairman, is financing the plan, This association "sponsors ?u(* dooi sport ami individualism, and aims to infuse the present Reiteration with the pioneer spirit." Mrs. Whitney's model for the statue has lately been on exhibition in Paris. (JKNKHAI.
