NEW STAIN CLEWS
IN BALLOU DEATH
Wisps of Hair Also Found
by Police?Skirt Adds
to Mystery.
STATE TEST SHOWS
BLOOD ON FLOORING
Mrs. Angle's Father Asserts Dis?
coloration Was Caused
by Tobacco.
| From a staff Corre?t^n?i*nt '
Stamford. Conn., June 28.--.More
mystery was added to the piuiling cir?
cumstances that surround the death of
Waldo R. Ballou, by the finding to-day,
by the police, of a black skirt on which
there were blood stain? and wisps of
? gray hair, and the admission by Mr-,
Helen M. Angle that she wore the skirt
the night Ballou
Then came the announcement from i
Dr. Bruce S. Weaver, pathologist of
the Stamford Hospital, that his analy?
sis ?hows the stains on the grass WUtt
and flooring in the ?tpartment in the
Rippowan Studio Building, where Mr*.
Angle lived, arc blood stains.
Jn attempting to explain away the
stains on the skirt Mrs. Angle told
Chief of Police Brennan they came
when ?he dragged the unconscious Bal?
lou to-the street.
The place where Ballou was found
was examined again by Homer S. Cuni
mings, State l'ro-x entine Attorney
elect, who tried to reconcile the dis- !
roveries in Mrs. Angle's apartment with !
her story.
Officials investigating the mystery
are inclined to believe the skirt was
used to wrap about the heaJ of Ballou
after he was wounded upstairs. This
would have prevented tracing the body
back from the street, if it were done
carefully.
According to the police, Mrs. Angle
has changed her stories of what han- ,
pened in her apartment, particularly
in regard to what she wore when Bal?
lou went to his death. At first she told
Chief Brennan she was clad in white. ,
After the black petticoat was found on |
a chair, she said she wore that and ac- ,
counted for the s;ains by saving they
were received when carry?np Ballou af?
ter he had fallen down-stairs and in?
jured himself.
l^ourteen specimens of stains from
the mats and flooring of Mrs. Angle's ;
apartment were ana!
There yet remains the analyzation
<?? the electric flatiron, which the'au
ties hint was the weapon used on
l.allou. Dr. Weaver will make a re?
nn the flatiron to-morrow, and on
what he finds depends in a great meas
\ire the nest move of the state in re?
gard to Mrs. Anele.
Her father, Leonard Blondell. who
has said he will snend a fortune to
clear Mrs. Angle, recently reported that
he had made an analysis of the ?itaini
?.M ths- mats and found them to be
tobacco juice.
*.n in??uest has been set for 2 o'clock ?
to-morrow afternoon, when Coroner
l'lielan will hold a private hearing and
? ?amine Mrs. Angle. It is e\necte?l
she will tell much that will help to
tery.
Other witnesses will be called be
f..?-e Mis. Angle is examined. She also
> .11 h? asked about the letters found
- lat.
The letters signed "Charles" and
' ' " ?".ere traced definitely to-day to
?he battleship Texas. They were dated
lay and mailed from Vera Cruz.
1* is said they are not ardent, but
rather the letter?- that pass bt
v.nrm friends.
Mrs. Ariele is wi'h her father at the
home of Mr?, ??coree Eagle, when she
?ef'ises to talk about the case. She
spent *o-day reading every printe?!
ward about the mystery and preparing
for the hearing before the Coroner.
Mrs. Karle announced for I

that hangs over her, and was confident
of clearing herself when she tells her
?-'ory.

Dover. N. J.. June 28. The thirty
acre plant of the Richardson & Boyn
ton Company, manufacturers of stoves
and ranges, excepting the shipping do<
partment building, was destroyed by
tire, supposedly of incendiary origin,
to-day. The loss is S.OO.OOO.
Eieren hundred men were employed
before the vorks were shut
down, temporarily, three weeks ago, on
account of the heat and for repair i.
Charles Heifer, a night watchman,
says he made the rounds of the works '
at G-'IO o'clock this morning and found
everything all right. At 7:30 he saw
smoke issuing fron the trimming shop.1
Men who were in the street say the**
saw flames start from three or four
sep?rate places.
Dorer'a volunteer fire department
answered the general alarm promptly.
The buildings vere ? f wood, except?
ing the shipping building, which is of
concrete. The flames spread rapidly
in the casting ar.d cleaning, mounting,
boiler, patent filing*, drill, tress and
hopa, each in a sepa?
rate building.
Three Lackawanna Railroad box cars ?
in the yard near the shipping building
were burned. All the finished stock on
hand was in the shipping building.
For an hour or more there was fear
the flames might ipread. The firemen '
successfully defended the n?
buildings, despite the fact that the
water pressure was inadequate.
W. L R. Lynd, secretary and treas?
urer, said he could not account for ?the
tire. The engines in the plant, he as?
serted, had been cold since the shut?

HURT; ?LAD TO DIE
Ordered to Leave House, Mur
derer Planned to Kill Widow
and Then End Life.
With a bullet in his back, J. Gustave
Gehring is dying in St. Catharine's i
Hospital, Williamsburg. He was shot
by Charles Fox after Gehring had mor?
tally wounded Mrs. Anna Fox, his as?
sailant's mother, in her home, at 178 ?
Meeker av., Brooklyn. Mrs. Fox died
in St. Catharine's Hospital two hours
after the shooting. Her son Charles
was detained on a charge of felonious
assault by the police of the Herbert st.
station.
.Mrs. Fox wus a widow, forty-five
rears old. Her son live? at-27 Kings?
land er. Qehriag, who la married,
lived ai 1824 Putnam av. until two
years ago, when after a quarrel he sep?
arat! d from his wife. He then went to
board at the home of Mrs. Fox.
After the marriage of her son, about
a year ago, Mrs. Fox told Gehring that
he must either become reconcile.) to
his wife or seek another boardiu>
place. ?Cabling persistently refused to
go, and meanwhile Mrs. Fox had no?
ticed he was acting queerly. This was
particularly noticeable on Saturday
night, after he lost his place with a
lumber firm in Greenpoint.
?Mrs. Fox then ordered Gehring to
quit the house within a wtek. She told '
him she would accept no more excuses
for delay.
Early yesterday morning Mrs. Fox
was awakened by the sound of Gehring
pacing about his room. She inquired
what the trouble was, and received
surly answers and a threat. Thor?
oughly frightened, Mrs. Fox dressed
and went to the home of her son. He
calmed his mother and told her to re?
turn home, telling her he would join
her later.
When Mrs, I*'???: entered her roim she
found Gehring had gone out. Her son !
reached the at 9 o'clock, in com- !
pany with ' b Wester, of S4 Kings
land av. 1 ere all seated at the ,
ben Gehring retaraed.
His ?remark! caused Wester to depart.
In order to avoid trouble Mrs. Fox
entered the kitchen, but. Gehring fol?
lowed. She then ordered him to leave.
At this command Gehring. it is said, '
drew a revolver and fired one sho?, '
which struck Mrs. Fox in the temple.
The man was in the act of turning the
revolver on himself, when Fox dashed
into the room and, seizing Gehrin?; by
the throat, struggled for possession of
th..' gun. He was joined by Wester,
who had been attracted by the sound of ,
tue tiring
Getting possession of the revolver,
Fox fired one shot at Gehring as he
was runring from the room. The man
dropped into the hallway badly
wounded.
Wester summoned Patrolman Dillon,
of the Herbert st. station. As Dillon
was running up the stairs he met Fox
coming down with the revolver in his
hand. He turned the pistol over to the
patrolman, explaining the circum
<?f the tragedy.

last rites of the Church. Mrs. Fox and
?Gehring were taken in the same ambu?

?HOODOO" PEG POST. DOOMED
BY WOMAN SPY. TO GO
Occasional Spells of Insomnia Blamed for Policemen's
Foe Keeping Watchful Eye on Corner at 23d Street
and Madison Avenue?Her Victims Were Many
and All Are Rejoicing Now.
Policemen in the 2.".d Precinct wer?
congratulating themselves last nigh*
that ti*.?- "peg post" would be abolshed
soon alter July 4. The report, while
; unofficial, was, they said, authentic,
They had the same reasons for rejoic?
ing that all other policemen in the city
I had, and one not possessed by men in
other precinct?, their joy being based
? n 'he fact that it would abolish the
"hoodoo post" of the city, that at 23d
tt. and Madison av.
More men. who have been assigned
i to duty on that post, have been up on
charges than on all other posts in the
precinct put together, and the precinct
extends from 14th st. to 42d St.
The reason for this is not that the
post is more difficult than hundreds of
others, but that a woman living in the
I neighborhood, who suffers from in?
somnia, spends her waking nights
I watching the man on post,.and on his
?lUappearance for a few minutes, calls
headquarters on the telephone. Then
she follows up the complaint with a
litter to the commissioner.
In this wag, ?he succeeded in making
? trouble, not only for the policemen,
who, for resons of his own, might be
off post for a while, but also for a
sergeant or other superior officer, who
might be inclined to ignore her com?
plaint.
If this woman was a chronic suf?
ferer from insomnia, conditions on the
would not be so bad, but the
policemen have been unable to work
out any schedule, and after a spell of
immunity from annoyance, some one
is shocked on being asked where he
was at such and such a moment. Alibis
nre. as a rule, not hard to obtain, but
they do not always work. In any
event, the policeman is put to consider?
able troubls. |

FINDS SQUAWS' B0UD01I
Archaeologist Discovers Cav
Where Indian Women Hid.
Blairstown, N. J., June 28. One o
the most important discoveries mad
by Max Srhrabisch, the State arch?
ologist, in Warren County is that of i
cave at the so-called Devil's Kitchen oi
the farm of Mrs. Harvey Coursen, il
Frelinghuysen Township.
The cave is at the foot of a lime
stone ledge and is twelve feet deep
sis feet wide and about fourteen feu'
high.
i The archaeologist found more thar
' 200 pieces of pottery decorated witt
zig-zag lines of the so-called chevroo
design. Mingled with these were found
deer and bird bones and shells of fresh
water mussels. The floor was covered
w.th black soil, the remains of ancient
charcoal fires.
In view of the fact that the place
was so secluded, the presence of pot?
tery and the hones and the lack of
flint or arrow heads leads Mr. Schra
bisch to believe thnt the cave was a
"squaws' retreat" where the women hid
while the braves were fighting with
, foes.
BARONESS SUES
IN PICTURE DEAL
Noblewoman Seeks Court
Help to Secure Ex?
pected Profits.
Corots, Rembrandts, Vclasquezes and
the work of other masters are repre?
sented in the collection of paintings
over which Baroness Aurelia de Tonnay
has brought suit in the Supreme Court
against John W. Van Dyke, of Phila?
delphia, president of the Atlantic Re
lining Company.
The baroness acted as the purchasing
ngent of Mr. Van DyKe in Europe and
bought for him a lf.rge number of
paintings. She paid $35.000 for vari
ou. canvases, which, with the cost of
I r ngiiig them here, cost the oil man
$40,000. But from the list of values
I irniahed by Baroness de Tonnay their
real value is from $750,000 to $1,000.
000. She is snug for her share of
profits that would have accrued if the
?iifenil.'iiit had kept his alleged agree?
ment to ?-ell the pictures.
The plaintiff says that she got a
purchaser who was ready to buy ihe
masterpieces for $500,000, but that Mr.
Van Dyke changed his mind about
selling, and retains the pictures in his
home in Gladstone st., Philadelphia.
It is said that Mr. Van Dyke became
acquainted with Baroness de Tonnay,
who is an art broker, In Paris, and
that he was married at her home about
five or six years ago.
Baroness de Tonnay bought most or
some of the pictures over which the liti
?tion is brought from a daughter of
Zarachai A'tru/., painter and sculptor.
In the n.'lection owned by Mr. Van
Dyke is a Grcuze. for which, according
to the baroness, the late .1. P. Morgan
was at one time willing to pay $(50,000,
but was unable to get the picture.
The plaintiff explains that she eras
able to get the valuable collection of
paintings, of which there arc sixty
four, at the price she paid because she
bought them in 1908 and 1909, at a
time when they were not being sought
by American collectors, and also that
if they had been bought by agents
their price would have been fabulous.
Astruz left fifty-nine of the pictures
to his daughter, Mme. Isubella Doria.
She had to sell them because of press?
ing financial obligations. The most
valuable of the collection, as stated by
Baroness de Tonnay, is a portrait of
the Infanta Maria Teresa by Velas?
quez, on which a value of $100,000 is
placed. There is a specimen of De
lanyo Fragonard vnlued at $75.000,and
'?The Earthquake," by the same artist,
is said to be valued at $50,000. Other
canvases in the Van Dyke collection
and the value fixed by Baroness de
Tonnay are: "The Toilette," by
Veronese, $85,000; "Descent from tho
Cross," by Peter Porbus, $40,000;
"Bouquet de Tereus," by Rubens, $20,
000; "Maiiame du Barry." by Van Loo,
??V'0,000; "The Spring," by Millet, $10,
000; "Diaz Among Flowers," by Diaz.
ST. ,000; portrait of Comtesse Henri?
ette de Tourillias, by Niculas de Largil
liere, $20,000; portrait of Comte
Etienne Robert de Torgot, by Hyacinthe
Rigaud, $25,000; "Christ Carrying
Cross," by Murillo, $50,000; "Proces?

SANDWICH AID
IN VOTE QUEST
Suffragists Will Sell Food. In?
stead of Flowers, All
This Week.
The suffragists are going after rotes
with sandwiches this week. Last week
it was roses. The change is due to the
fact that, while Broadway liked the
flowers, it was on Mrs. James Lees
Laidlaw's dainty homemade sandwiches
that the crowd cast envious eyes.
Since Mrs. Laidlaw was going to a
nommittee meeting immediately after
the flower market, she had no time to
eat luncheon in the regular manner,
and she had brought with her from
home a neat little parcel of sandwiches.
She ate these as she made change for
the stenographers and brokers who
came to buy flowers. The spectacle
was too much for one boarding-house
?/lotira.
"PltntU, miss," he said, "is thfm
sandwiches for sale? I'd lots rather
have them than flower.?."
Notice is hereby given to that hungry
youth to be at Broadway and Park
place to-morrow at noon and get all
the homemade sandwiches he wants.
There will be sandwiches for all tastes,
ham and corned beef for the men, and
cream cheese and lettuce for those
with ladylike appetites.
In "The Screen" Daura does her
famous ?word dance for Troy alone,
and he is so overcome ??hen it is ended
that he exclaims, "Let me kiss your
lips, and by Heat en I'll do everything
>ku ask..I hen kiss me." she whis?
pers. And just then the door opens -ind
Vane Ernkine, Daura's cattish cousin,
enters. This depiction of the wonder?
ful dance makes the next instalment of
the Williamsons's serial in the Sunday
Magazine of The Tribune July 5, one
of the most absorbing of the story.
BOYLAN DRUG LAW
WILL BE ENFORCED
State Printer to Furnish
the Serially Numbered
Blanks.
SALES OF OPIATES
MUST BE RECORDED
Addicts May Be Committed to
State, County or City
Hospitals.
The Boylan anti-drug law, which
Mrs W K Vanderbilt, J^^.^?rJ
Swann, Assistant District Attorney
Eloyd H. Wilmct. Ernest h. ?--*?????'
and others succeeded In push ng
through the Legislature the l_*?t day
of the session, goes into effect on
Wednesday. Despite the fears of u?
li ?ends, the lack of an appropriation
will not affect the power of the law.
Owing to the haste and contusion
which marked the last days of the
Legislature, there was no appropria?
tion for the printing of order blanks,
which are the essential feature of the
Boylan law. Within the las', week or
so fears for its efficiency in conse?
quence became so acute that Judg?:
Swann, of General Sessions, who has
long been active in the campaign
against cocaine and other drugs, wrote
to the State Commissioner of Health,
whose duty it is 'o distribute the or?
der blanks.
Judge Swann wrote that the serially
numbered blanks constituted the back?
bone of the law. and that he under?
stood no appropriation had been made
for the printing of such blanks. He
raid that, if funds were lacking, he
had made nrrangements to get by sub?
scription money enough to cover the
initial expenses.
He suggested that, if necessary, the
local health boards to which the blanks
wan to be distributed would probably
be willing to pay the actual cost of
the blnnks and be reimbursed when ?
the general appropriation bill went
through the next Legislature.
Volunteers to Stand Expense.
A reply came from the State Com?
missioner of Health yesterday. He
wrote that the order blanks would be
?sent to the local health boards to-day.
The J. B. Lyon Company, state print?
ers, had volunteered to stand the ex
. the commissioner wrote. After
to-day deliveries will be made daily.
Last week's bulletin of the city
Health Department warned physicians,
druggists and veterinarians of the new
law. The main purpose of the Boylan
law is to make a permanent record of
trtty sale of chloral, opium or of their
salts, alkaloids or derivatives. Pre- ?
scriptions for such drugs must be writ?
ten on the official order blanks, which
?are serially numbered and duplicated. t
Physicians, druggists, veterinarians
and aentists must record the name and
address of each person for whom any
of these drugs are prescribed. The
sale, except on such prescription, is
prohibited.
Prescriptions must contain the full
name of' tie physician, veterinarian or
dentist issuing them, his office address,
office hours and telephone number, and
the name, age and address of the per?
son to whom a prescription is issued.
The date must also be on the prescrip?
tion.
Xo prescription calling for more than
a specified quantity of any of thu
drugs hall be tilled until its authority
has ! ? ?n verified by telephone or
otherwise, and no prescription shall
be tilled more than ten days after its
issuance. The name am! aiVlress of
the purchaser must be recorded. The
label on the drug nrust contain the
name and address of the purchaser,
the physician r.nd the druggist.
Record Kept Five Years.
Druggists are compelled to keep on
file the order blanks on which they
dispose of drugs. Physician:-, veteri?
narians and dentists must also keen a
record of their prescriptions. Such
records must be kept for five years.
A \Volation of the law constitutes a
misl'meanor, punishable by imprison?
ment for one year, or a tine of $500, or
both.
It is further provided in the law
that magistrates and judges may com?
mit thos.? addicted to a drug habit to a.
state, county or city hospital. If there
is no hospital available, or if the vic?
tim does not seem to need medical at?
tention, he may be committed to any
institution to which he might he com?
mitted for vaprancy.
Assistant District Attorney Wilmot
said yesterday that he thought little
or no confusion would attend the en?
forcement of the new law.
TAKES AEROPLANE
TO STUDY THE SUN
Professor Todd, of Amherst,
Will Use Novel Method at
Riga, Russia.
[Pv Tolfsraph to Th* Tri'mn? ]
Boston, June 28. With the aid of an
aeroplane above the clouds Professor
David Todd, of Amherst College, ex?
pects, on August _.">, at Riga, P.ussia,
to make discoveries important to as?
tronomers concerning the sun.
He will sail from New York this
week on his tenth astronomical expedi?
tion, and will, for the first time in
astronomical observation, use an air?
ship to aid his efforts. His success
with balloons during the observation
of Halley's comet led to tests with
aeroplnnes. Professor Todd believes
that the great ?peed of the aircraft -
120 miles an hour will make possible
a longer study of the sun. It will
1 enable him to rise above the cloud? or
mist and give him other advantages
: hitherto beyond the reach of scientists.
He will carry with him in his flights
a camera telescope and a spectroscope.
It is expected that important obser?
vations will result from Professor
Todd'l reynrrh work. Since his gradu?
ation from Amherst in 1875 he has been
actively engaged in astronomy, in
which he ha? won a wide reputation.
In 1ST-:, when only three years out of
college, he was placed in charge of
the Navy Department's expedition to
Texas to observe the eclipse of the sun
that year.

VICTIM WILL DIE;
MATE FOILS ESCAPE
Two Visitors Suspected of Giv?
ing insane Man Gun, Which
He Kept Hidden.
[By Telegraph to The Tribun?. 1
Morristown, N. J? June 28. William
Wall, an insane convict in the State
Hospital at Morris Plains, to-day fatal?
ly wounded Patrick J. Collins, a keep?
er, with a revolver of which he had
obtained possession in some manner
unknown to the authorities.
Wall, who is twenty-six years of age,
was sent to the institution from the
I'ahwav Reformatory on May 6, 1913.
He had been arrested in Paterson for
stealing from a Lackawanna freight
car, and was sent to the reformatory
on June 4. 1910. After five months he
was paroled, but was shortly after?
ward rearrested and sent back. Then
the authorities discovered that he dis?
played symptoms of insanity, and he
was finnlly committed to the State
Hospital.
According to the custom of the in?
stitution. Wall was bathed on last
Wednesday, and the cell which he oc?
cupied was given a thorough search
for contraband articles. It is certain,
according to the officials, that he had
no weapon at that time. The following
day he was visited by two men, who
are suspected of having furnished him
with the revolver, and also with a
screw driver, which he used to un?
fasten the lower sash of a window in
one of the rooms.
Owing to the crowded condition <>f
the hospital. Wall was taken from his
cell yesterday and quartered with
twenty-five other supposedly harmless
patients in a general ward.
At 5 o'clock this morning Edward
Carroll, the night guard, discovered
that the cot assigned to Wall was va?
cant and notified Collins. Th"e two
men began a search for the missing
convict, and finally discovered Wall
crouching under the bed of another pa?
tient. He made no resistance when
taken back to his bed, but shortly af?
terward his cot was again vacant.
This time it was found that a win?
dow in the room had been pried open.
Carroll and Collins were examining
the window, when they heard from be?
hind the curb a command, "Hands up!"
Collins wheeled, and found Wall con?
fronting him with a revolver. As he
leaped the madman fired, and the bul?
let lodged in the keeper's breast. Car?
roll then sprang upon the insane as?
sailant and bore him to the ground,
after which he was speedily disarmed
and subdued, with the assistance of
several other attendants, who had been
attracted by the report of the shot.
Collins was carried into his room.
.\t a late hour to-night no hope was
entertained for his recovery.
Detectives are searching for the two
men who visited Wall. Their identity
is known, and it is expected that they
will be arrested within the next twen?
ty-four hours.

VICTIMS TRAPPED
AFTER HOLD-UP
Armed Bandits Rob Four in
Store, Then Lock Door and
Flee in Auto.
Four men alighted from an automo?
bile and entered the establishment of
Joseph Kanerick, an importer of laces,
at :,I Orchard st., about S o'clock last
night. In the store was the proprietor,
conversing with three friends, Davi?!
Schurman, of 226 Eldridge st.; Jake
(lark, of 98 Essex st., and Bernar-d
Iaoibow, of the same addrc?- ?.
The visitors interrupted the chat by
a: king to be shown some laces, and as
tl.e proprietor was about to comply the
intruders suddenly drew revolvers and
lined Kanerick and his friends up'
ap-yinst the wall. From Schurman the
hold-Up men secured $16 in cash, a
lady's watch valued at $10 and his own
timepiece, worth $75. Clark was forced
to hand over a watch worth So.'? and
$100 in money, while Leibow contrib?
uted $21 in small bills to the visitors.
Kanerick, the proprietor of the place,
who had just sent home $175, had only
$7 in his possession, which was snatch?
ed from him by one of the robbers.
The thieves, upon leaving the store,
fastened the padlock, thus trapping
their four victims, while they made
their escape in the touring car. The
i-houts of Kanerick and his companions
finally attracted the attention of Pa?
trolman Kenney, who released them.
Detectives Shine and Mundow were
assigned to the case, and after inves
