Despite the veil of secrecy which investigators suddenly surrounded the case when the grand jury started its probe, Mrs. Mason related a frank narrative of her relations with Schick and Clark, declaring that she had nothing to conceal. She returned here voluntarily from Mexicall, in company with Burns operatives, to tell her story to the officers and grand jury. From her story, it developed that she had met Schick first when he called upon her in response to an advertisement in a newspaper, wherein she stated that she wished to sell her millinery shop here. Schick told her, she said, that he did not wish to purchase the entire ownership in the shop, but that he would like to secure a half interest, on condition that Mrs. Mason remain in the business as a partner. "My curiosity was aroused by his attitude," Mrs. Mason said, "and I questioned him as to his motive in buying into a millinery business." Schick told her, she said, that he was really buying the half interest in the business for his wife, in order to give her something to distract her interest and get her away from the influence of a man named Clark and Clark's wife. The upshot of the first interview was that Schick gave Mrs. Mason $500 on account and agreed that if the deal went thru, he would deposit $3000 to the joint account of himself and Mrs. Mason to be used for the purchase of stock for the new undertaking.

Cold Meats For Luncheons Haudens Delicatessen Sam Seelig Market 139 W. Center St. Phone 700 THE PLAIN DEALER: ANAHEIM, CALIF TACES FOUND OF DINOSAURS WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.—Carnivorous dinosaurs once roamed over the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, believe government scientists are investigating the discovery of huge footprints in a sandstone quarry at Lisburge, Va., 50 miles from here. The discovery was made on the Old Hill estate, one-time residence of former President Monroe and now the property of a retired New York stock broker. The present owner, wishing to lay a hardstone walk around the estate, decided to obtain the stone from an abandoned quarry upon the property. After the stone was quarried and laid it was noticed that many slabs had deep impressions upon them, and closer examination disclosed they were the footprints of a hure animal. Speculation became rife as to the probable identity of the animal, and word was communicated to the Smithsonian Institution, and Geological Survey here, both of which immediately sent scientists to the quarry. After a careful investigation extending over two weeks the scientists were unanimous in their opinion that the tracks undoubtedly were those of a prehistoric animal, supposedly of the extinct dinosaur, several years will be required to excavate the quarry before the absolute identity of the animal may be learned. By using a column of water instead of a wire to transmit electricity an English scientist claims to make use of about 80 per cent of the generated power. LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE Anaheim, Calif. Oct. 19, 1923 Orange County Plain Dealer. My deep sense of appreciation of constructive thinking in the right direction prompts me to offer you congratulations on your editorial of last evening apropos of the California Real Estate Convention held at Sacramento recently. Your editorial comment herein referred to goes directly to the point, and should be appreciated by all thinking people. The newspapers are the only medium through which we will ever be able to reach the general public with our doctrine of the golden rule in real estate dealings, and it is a real treat to read what you have to say. Could you have heard high state officials come before that convention—men who put the reality laws through the assembly—and praise the unselfish manner in which the realtors of this state have asked legislation regulating their own business in the interest of the public at large I am sure you would agree that they deserve such support as you were pleased to offer last night. With kind personal regards, I am, Faithfully yours, A. E. HARGROVE. President; Anaheim Realty Board and Director; California Real Estate Assn. WATER POWER ON ISLAND At three places in the principal island of New Zealand, hydro-electric developments are under way. They are: Arapuni Rapids, 96,000 horsepower; Lake Walkeremoana, 40,000 horsepower; and Mangaliao, 24,000 horsepower. With other smaller stations they will be joined in a huge triangle, 1100 miles of electric current transmission, at 110,000 volts, to supply electric service to every section. PLANE CATAPULTS ON U. S. WARSHIPS LOS ANGELES, Oct. 19. That hydroplane catapults will be installed on all U. S. vessels of war within the very near future was the revelation made at Los Angeles harbor recently by Lieut.-Commander Newton H. White, aviation officer of Admiral Robt. E. Coontz's staff, commander of the Pacific fleet. The feasibility of the catapult, which was only an idea a year ago, was clearly demonstrated by Lieut.-Commander White when, with his fellow pilot, Lieut. Council, he shot from the catapult aboard the USS. Oklahoma into a cross wind, flew out to meet the California as that man-o-war steamed into the harbor and returned again to the Oklahoma without the slightest mishap. "She was rolling worse than a vessel of her size would at sea," said the aviator, "and we taxed up to her stern, hooked on and were holsted aboard without the slightest difficulty." "Orders have been issued now for every vessel of war, including submarines, to equip themselves with catapults the next time they call. NORWAY USES ELECTRICITY So generous was nature in providing waterpower sites in Norway that today electricity, water-derived, is in very general use. With less than 2,000,000 inhabitants, Norway stands second to America in the prevalence of electric cooking and heating. The consumer buys his electricity at so much per year instead of on a current consumption basis. MORNING IN NEW YORK NEW rests on nectarery coombsh circles. Elevated at the stated Attorney One. J.

MORE ARRESTS NEAR IN BEER CONSPIRACY NEW YORK, Oct. 19. More arrests were expected today in connection with the alleged beer bribery conspiracy which burst like a bombshell in political and financial circles of New Jersey. Eleven men were apprehended, following a raid by federal agents at the Hotel Pennsylvania, it was stated at the office of U. S. District Attorney Hayward today. One of those held in the case was J. Harry Foley, state superintendent of weights and measures in New Jersey, former secretary to Governor (now U. S. Senator) Edward I. Edwards and potent in fraterial circles. Four New Jersey brewers also were seized. Hayward said he had in his possession $84,500 paid to government agents for "protection." KENTUCKY'S NEW CAMPAIGN SLOGAN "Please pass the gumdrops," may become the by-word in the Kentucky state campaign now in progress. It has developed that Congressman Fields, the Democratic nominee for governor, once attempted to decorate Doc Cook, the fake discoverer of the north pole, with "the thanks of Congress." That appears to be the one act which gives Candidate Fields his fame as a member of Congress for the past 13 years. It was in 1915, long after Congress had officially recognized Admiral Robt. E. Peary as the real discoverer of the north pole, that Congressman Fields came forth with a resolution proposing that the thanks of Congress be "tendered to Dr. Frederick A. Cook for his Arctic explorations, resulting in his reaching the north pole." Whether Candidate Fields will again rush to the defense of Doc Cook, now under indictment for alleged misuse of the mails in promoting alleged oil frauds, is doubted. He is most too busy explaining his earlier defense of Doc Cook. The suggestion is being made in Kentucky that Candidate Fields substitute gumdrops for candidate cigars in distributing his favors among Kentucky voters. CURRENT IN BOMBAY Artificial lakes in the high mountains of western India impound water from which comes the energy that, flowing through mountain tunnels, is made to drive water wheels which transform the force of the water into electric current. The latter is sent from 40 to 60 miles to Bombay, India's Industrial seaport.
