PAGE TWO VAMPIRE KILLED 30 YOUNG MEN (Copyright, 1924, by I. N. S.) HANOVER, Germany, July 18. "No emperor, no king ever was paid so much attention—isn't that so? Is it true that my name has gone all over the world and that people everywhere are talking about me!" These were the words of Fritz Haarmann, "vampire murderer," charged with putting to death at least 30 young men, ranging in age from 12 to 25, in the most kindish manner known in crime小说 in the world, then cutting up their bodies and selling the flesh. Twenty-one murders already have been proved against him, the authorities say, and half of these he had confessed. Haarmann met an International News Service correspondent with an unsteady, albeit pleasing gaze. He fixed two large blue eyes on the correspondent and in a soft, well modulated voice, implored the latter to answer his queries. Haarmann was flanked by two giant guards. He was standing in the office of the chief of police and facing the correspondent, giving the first and only interview recorded any reporter since the discovery of the horrible crimes. The only thing that seemed to matter to Haarmann at the moment was his importance in the world's limelight. His eyes, which for one minute appeared frank and harmless like a child's, the next were like those of a man at least partly demented, capable of indescribable cruelty. He evidently was experiencing conflicting emotions. But above it all was vanity—pride—notoriously. To him it seemed like fame. He feels he has done something no human being in the world's history ever did before him or ever will do again. He already is speculative on what the scientists will say when they analyze his skull after he is executed. He has discounted that sort of death—indeed he courts it. OVATION FOR IRISH REPUBLICAN CHIEF DUBLIN, July 18.—Samon de Valera, Irish republican leader released from prison yesterday by the free state government after he had spent a year in jail, conferred with republican hisders today before he left for his home in Graystone. De Valera looked cheerful and well despite his confinement. At Graystone he was enthusiastically greeted by friends and neighbors. At republican headquarters here he was given an ovation. The republican leader declined to make a statement altho it is known he plans to make his first public appearance in two weeks addressing a meeting at Claire. He indicated he would continue his work for the republic. Liam Dessy, former republican quartermaster general, who also has been confined in jail, probably will be released at once. He at one time was under sentence of death. The government probably will release all other prisoners tonight. LA HABRA LA HABRA, July 18.—Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Chauster entertained the Whittier avenue Whist club at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Proud on Saturday evening. Whist was played during the evening with high honors going to Mrs. C. L. Crumrine and Dr. Milliken of Whittier, while Mrs. George Mitchell of Whittier and C. L. Crumrine received the second prize. Delicious refreshments were served after the game. Mr. and Mrs. Chester Hamilton of Whittier and Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Leuhm, substituted for Mr and Mrs. James H. Walker and Mr. and Mrs. Clark Hinshaw. Members present were: Dr. and Mrs. Milliken, and Mr. and Mrs. George Mitchell of Whittier; Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Proud; Mr. and Mrs. SIDNEY GL owner and buyer seventeen store the KAFATERIA STORES, says: before have I made wonderful purchase peculiar condition shoe market gave most marvelous cl buy new up-to-the footwear of the grades at savings phenominal. Cu He evidently was experiencing conflicting emotions. But above it all was vanity—pride—notoriously. To him it seemed like fame. He feels he has done something no human being in the world's history ever did before him or ever will do again. He already is speculative on what the scientists will say when they analyze his akull after he is executed. He has discounted that sort of death—indeed he courts it. He does not want to live. If he had a chance to kill himself he would do so, but that has been rendered impossible because of the armed guards who are watching him in his cell day and night. He is heavily chained and in order to prevent him laying hands on himself to inflict bodily harm, an iron bar has been placed rigidly beneath his chin. Haarmann's eyes gleamed when the correspondent assured him his crime was unique. He eagerly inquired: "There has never been anything like it in America, was there? You had the Franks murder, yes. I read about it, but that is nothing like what I have done, is it?" The conversation that followed convinced the correspondent that no matter how sane and rational Haarmann may have been when he committed the crimes—and the cold calculating nature of his procedure indicated the cunning of a rational mind—this man is not normal at present. No human being in full possession of his senses could discourse as Haarmann did on the details of his fiendish butcheries. Haarmann even enacted the scenes showing the last minutes of his victims' struggling in his grasp. He showed by graphic gestures with his hands, arms, teeth and fingernails how he put his victims to death; how they lay extinct. "You certainly did a scientific job," the correspondent remarked, leading on Haarmann to describe more harrowing details of his grewsome tale. He told how, for five years, while sometimes working as a stool pigeon for the Hanover police, he plied his "terrible" trade without leaving a single trace sufficient to convict him, until the fatal June 2 when he was arrested with a youth who refused to follow him to the slaughter chamber in an attic in Hanover's underworld. "Yes, do you think so?" Haarmann queried to the reporter's comment. Suddenly he grew serene, almost morbidly grave, as he added: "But it wasn't easy—I assure you it wasn't easy." He nervously felt at his throat, then fumbled his face, felt his temples as if they were bursting. "No, it wasn't always easy," he said. Milliken of Whittier, while Mrs. George Mitchell of Whittier and C. L. Crumrine received the second prize. Delicious refreshments were served after the game.

If there were no cows in your country what would you eat? With milk you contrive a those delicious and nourishing soups on which the children so rightly dote. Milk-mixed bread is to be had at practically every baker's now; it is so much more tasty and worthwhile than bread made with water. Milk enters into almost every dish you prepare on the range—puddings, baked dishes, cocoa—on the list is limitless! Then butter! Forhaps you think you could do with substitutes, but all the near-butters which are in good repute owe their reputations to the milk in which they are churned. Surely we could never spare butter—perish the thought! Then cream for coffee, and the indispensable whipped cream for every kind of fancy dish we know. And cheese without which man would be completely float! As for ice cream, were that banished life would hardly be worth living! No, we simply don't appreciate the cow in our eating scheme of things, for without her help our mutus would become poor, broken things, our meals but forces. There is no substitute for the dairy cow, tin or otherwise. There never can be a substitute for nature's juxtaposition. Mrs. M. A. Blackman and family who were guests at the Harry Kenney home on Lois Street for the past week, returned to their home in Merced Sunday. They were taken to Bakersfield by Herman Kenney, where they were met by Mr. Blackman, who accompanied them home. Miss Edith Kenney returned home with them and will spend the summer months there.

Little Venus Young was the honoree at a dinner given by her mother, Mrs. Vernon Young, at there home on Francis Street on Sunday.
