Seven Workers Slain and 36 Injured at Krupps Plants in Essen
International News Service
ESSEN, March 31—The worst flare up of violence Essen has known since the French and Belgians seized the Ruhr took place today at the Krupp works when six Germans were killed, three fatally wounded and 36 others injured. The seventh victim died this afternoon, and two more are certain to die physicians said.
It is undertood that all of the victims were either employees of Krupps or affiliated plants.
French troops have had Krupps under guard ever since Essen was occupied and relations between the French soldiers and Krupp employees have been growing more strained.
The trouble first started at 2 o'clock this morning when a French detective entered the Krupp private hotel Essenhoft to interrogate two German officials, Dr. Rorbert Grelsch and Baron Von Mutton, who are here as government spokesmen in the present crisis.
After questioning the officials, the detective proceeded to runack their rooms.
The scene at the Krupp hospital was pitiful. Thousands of men, women and children, clamored for entrance to identify the dead and wounded. Lines were established by the police to maintain order.
As soon as she learned of the battle, Bertha Krupp, who is the chief owner of the plant, rushed to the hospital, and assisted in dressing their wounds. American relief workers assisted in caring for the wounded.
March 31—German workers in the Krupp factory at Essen attacked a detachment of French forces with steam, according to an announcement made by the foreign office today.

HERBERT Wilson, Millionaire Minister-Bandit, Confessed, say Officers
LOS ANGELES, March 31.-Herbert Wilson, millionaire minister bandit and convicted murderer, may be able to solve the mysterious New York bomb explosion which destroyed approximately $1,000,000 in property, injured 200 and took a toll of 39 lives.

Wilson has confessed, the authorities claim, that he sold thirty quarts of nitroglycerine to Wolfe Lindenfeldt, suspected of the outrage and now in Poland.
Wilson also admitted that he designed the bomb which wrecked Wall Street, but explained that he did not know what it was to be used for.
Wilson later learned the details of the New York catastrophe and morse caused him to make his statement.
He is known to the police and federal agents throughout the nation as an expert maker of explosives used in blowing safes.
The famous cricket was first arrested for participation in a million dollar mail truck robbery here in March, 1921.

UNDERTAKER FINDS WATER
IN LUNGS OE LOST YOUTH
(By International News Service)
ISAN BERNARDINO, Mar. 31.—Little Dean Meecham, 4, who with "Dickey" Jensen, 6, was found smothered in a large wooden box in a store room after the greatest search ever made in California for missing children had been drowned and then placed in the death crypt it was discovered early this morning.
The discovery was made by Harold D. Shaw, undertaker, as he embalmed the bodies for burial and practically substantiates the theory of the authorities that the boys were kidnapped.
Convict Loses Life
Trying to Aid Other
The discovery was made by Harold D. Shaw, undertaker, as he embalmed the bodies for burial and practically substantiates the theory of the authorities that the boys were kidnapped.
The undertaker found nearly a pint of water in the youngster's lungs, he told the police.
Police immediately reconstructed their previous theory and declared Dean was probably drowned by a field, who stifled the cries of "Dickey," carried him to the store room with the body of the other boy and stuffed into the box, springing the lock behind them, and fied the city.
It was learned this afternoon that a suspect had been found and was being trailed by officers. In event he is captured, he will be rushed to a place of safekeeping.
In attempting to establish the exact time the boys were placed in the box they learned from J. A. Aguasser, who lives above the room where the bodies were found, that he was disturbed last Tuesday night and again Wednesday morning by unusual sounds in the room below. He did not investigate the noise, he told the police, thinking it perhaps was rats.
H. Talbert, also a roomer above the location where the bodies were located, said he heard children's cries last Saturday night and Sunday and on Monday morning, but paid no attention as he thought the cries were of children who lived in the same building.
The death chamber was a peculiarly constructed wooden box about fifty inches high, four feet long and four feet wide and shaped like a stairway with a small door about 10 inches wide and a foot high on the side, with a spring latch on the outside.
The door had been sprung from the outside, which led the authorities to believe that the youngsters had been trapped in the box by a third person.
Another theory of the boys disappearance and death is that they wandered into the building, which was under construction, and were lured into the box by its strange appearance. After they were in it one of them is thought to have unconsciously shut it on themselves.
However, there are several circumstances which led the investigation to believe the door was shut on the boys by someone else. When officer Joseph was attracted to the building by a peculiar odor and later to the box, he declared the door on the case was so tight it was only by extreme effort that he managed to open it after some minutes work.
