j SUICIDE DEEPENS SCANDAL
Highest Social Circlet* in Hanover,

j 1
Honever, Germany, July 12.?
l-i teat developments. in the investiga
| tion into the wholesale murders by
| the "human vampire," Fritz Haar
1 mann, promise to make this case the
j biggest unprintable scandal in (ier-|
J many .since the affair of Fringe
1 Kuienberg, which was revealed by |
i Maximilian Harden.
| The highest social circles in the
aristocratic town of Hanover are
threatened in the revelations. 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.
Carrier pigeon "R.H. 5157" reached'
Brooklyn, N. Y., Thursday evening
from Tampa, Fla., after flying a dis-J
tance of 1,300 miles.
"Cut her down lean!"
NINETY per cent of cars run right along
on too fat a mixture/' says the Fleet Boss.
"Adjust your carburetor to a leaner mixture and
you'll get more pick-up and power. You'll get
less dilution of crank case oil, less carl>on and
more mileage. Your motor will stay in better
, condition. Sure, a rich mixture will start you
quicker, but you pay too much all day long for
the seconds you save, and your rich mixture
leaves a stinking exhaustjhat makes folks hate
to see you coming. Cutfier down leant"
At least ninety per cent of motorists are care
less also about buying motor oil by brand. But
not experienced fleet superintendents. Most of
them pick one brand by practical operating
test and Stick to it. It may surprise the average
motorist to know that the percentage of com
mercial fleets using "Standard" Polarine exclu
sively is much higher thin that of private cars.

BUFFALO Bill. 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.
