PK1EST LED DUAL LIFE Served at the Altar as a Saint in a Catholic Church and Acted as a Devil When Not Officiating at Ser vices or Hearing Confessions of People. When the New York police ran down and arrested Father Hans Schmidt, a Catholic priest connected with one of the churches of that city, they seem to have caught a master criminal, whose deeds of crime may have extended across the ocean to his homeland. In addition to the mur der of the young woman, Anna Au- muller, which he confessed, the police have connected Father Schmidt with several other crimes and arrested at least one of his pals. He is known as Dr. Ernest A. Muret, a dentist In the day time and a counterfeiter at night. He was ar rested aftt-r detectives, ransacking S huiidt's apartments, had uncovered evidence to show Schmidt was a coun terfeiter This evidence led them to ted h\ a man under the SHOULD GO TO FARMERS THEY NEED CROP El ND Ml Cll WORSE THAN IU VEILS. a "at r< I itne ef Vk ere ' 11; terfet’er I I ttlg .I- XT' .eorve Miller.

Sullivan, who waa ill, eluded his nurses in the early npornlng of Au gust 31 and a few hours after waa struck and killed by a train at Pel ham Parkway. With no identifying marks on the clothing or articles In the pockets the body lay in Fordham morgue for thirteen days awaiting identification. Saturday morning it was sent to Bellevue morgue. There was station ed Peter Purfleld, a policeman, who had known “Big Tim” Sullivan and liked him before his mind became clouded. Something about the ex pression of the features stirred Pur- fleld’s memory. By and by, after he had pondered an hour or bo, Purfleld remarked to & reporter: “That looks a little bit like ‘Big Tim’.” Peering long at the mutilated and discolored face the reporter thought so too The telephone brought ‘‘Big Tim's ’ Eastslde friends in groups to th«* morgue, but none recognliod In the changed features the man they had know n In jiia prime.

In the delegation there were be sides Senator Smith, E. W. Dalibs, president of the South Carolina Cot ton Growers’ association: J. H. Pat ten, also of South Carolina, general counsel for the association: R. M. Cooper of South Carolina and J. C. Kennett and S. H. Hobbs, the two latter large cotton planters in North Carolina. As explained by Mr. Pat ten much of the money that is being loaned by the government is not dis tributed according to the way the cotton growers would desire. It is learned that much of this mon^y is going into the hands of the actual buyer, w hile a very sin til part of P is being loaned to farmers who need It now to get their <ott<>n picked at.

Moving in a northeasterly direction and hewing a course about one-half mile wide, a terrific cyclone swept North Conway Thursday afternoon at three o’clock and left ruin and deso lation in its wake. While no lives were lost, several persons escaped as though by a miracle. The littlo daughter of W. W. Russ, while on her way home, encountered the storm and was rolled about In the street. She was rescued by a lady and re ceived little Injury. Mrs. T. J. Bell had just left her home when the roof was torn away. She escaped uninjur ed. There may be others who receiv ed injuries about a mile from Conway where it is reported several negro houses were demolished. The rain fell In torrents, causing the property loss to reach into the thousands.

No man of Schmidt's varied pur suits could be insane, the New York detectives say, and they look upon him as a criminal master mind—a man trained in many things which he turned to account in his operations. Schmidt’s explanation of everything ■—of the murder of Anna Aumuller, and of the counterfeiting—is that he did it at the command of God. These declarations, the detectives say, are part of a plan to feign insanity. That Schmidt did pose as Dr. Mol- lere, a physician, as he is said to have admitted, was indicated by the finding among his effects of medicines and drugs. » ♦-♦- Aviator’s J^atal Tumble.

Obi Man of Erie, Bn., Coimiiit* Sui cide by Drowning. A man, believed by the police to be John Hawkins, GS years old, of Erie, Pa., committed euii ide Monday afternoon by jumping into the Niagra river from the lower steel arch bridge which spans the river just above the start of the whirlpool rap ids. It is 2 00 feet above the water. Two women standing on the Canadian cliff saw the man climb on the railing and sit asride of the rail several min utes, looking down at the turbulent waters, then lurch forward. His body shot downward and struck the water headforemost. He came to the surface once before the white foam of the hlg drift closed over him. The suicide was the first from the lower arch in three years. Hawkins was pulled from the bridge railing Saturday night, but convinced his captors that he was not bent on suicide. A dispatch from Memphis, Tenn., says former Governor Paterson, In a signed statement declares that he would henceforth fight for prohibi- tlon and the strict enforcement of the Tennessee Liquor law. The for mer governor in a statement, said he had lived an evil life, but had exper ienced an entire change of heart and henceforth will live a Christian. He recently became a member of the Praabytartan church. a .■a 1 p.-nr *• • * AO’*** rtf" * ’ n x: t *: ‘ of m* '.. • ’i ar. ! ;>■ ’a’ v M by Mr I'> •: > a r• a 1 v ■ no rf t h• kind who B v.* *' r < :;•• and In a 1 !:uon to that ; o a . > I !. a i o Ho t!y a: •irt of tho crop that will bo markolo 1 and turned into money has lots of other stuff that he will use at homo, spend ing only a very small amount for sup plies ( f any kind.

The curing of rabies by the use of quinine was the subject of an address by Dr. L. E. Harris, of St. Louis, be fore the American Health Association Wednesday at Colorado Springs, Col. Dr. Harris submitted the results of a treatment with quinine in accordance with the theory of Dr. Virgil H. Moon, recently announced, and gave as his opinion from exhaustive re* search that medical science within a short time will have been entirely revolutionized with respect to the treatment of this malady. He tdtd of administering injections of quinine to a patient a short time ago and said that within a week the patient was discharged from his care.
