SLAVER-PRIEST SANE
POLICE ABANDON THEORY PAS
TOR IS INSANE KILLER.
Minister Confesses He Slew N. Y.
Woman—^Declares He Was Infat
uated With Her.
New York, Sept. 18.—Discovery of
a counterfeiter's den which Hans
Schmidt, priest and confessed slayer
of Anna Aumuller, admitted was fit
ted up by him to make spurious
money, led the detectives, Coroner
Feinberg, and other visitors to his
Cell in the' Tombs Tuesday to express
the opinion that Schmidt is sane and
that further investigation will develop
that counterfeiting was only one of
his "side linee."
They declared it as their belief that
Schmidt is feigning insanity after
carefully thought out plans of' a
master criminal mind.
To Rev. Father Evers, chaplain of
the Tombs prison to his attorney and
to other callers, Schmidt admitted his
connection with the flat in West One
Hundred and Thirty-fourth street,
where detectives found bundles of imi
tation $10 gold certificates.
Dr. Ernest Arthur Muret, thje den
tist arrested after the raid upon the
counterfeiters' flat, was held in $5,000
bail on the charge of having in his
possession a revolver in violation of a
state law. Through his knowledge of
the law Muret forestalled the plans of
the federal secret service agents wait
ing to arrest him on a warrant charg
ing counterfeiting. By waiving pre
liminary examination Muret, for the
time being at leaqt, escaped the more
serious charge.
Bertha Zech, "the servant girl em
ployed by Doctor Muret and token to
police headquarters with him, was re
leased, the detectives telling the court
they Mad no evidence upon which she
could be held.
With the arrest Sunday of Rev.
Hans Schmidt of St Joseph's Ro
man Catholic church, charged with the
murder of Anna Aumuller, a servant,
the mystery surrounding the finding of
the dismembered body of a girl In the
Hudson river was solved. Schmidt
according to the police, has .confessed.
He attempted to commit suicide by
cutting his throat
"I killed her because I' loved ber so
much," he said. "She was so beauti
ful, so good, I could not let her live
without me. I had made up my mind
that she and I could live together, I
was a priest and must remain with
my church. I could not let her go
away from me."

BOMB PERILS OTIS
PUBLISHER OF LOS ANGELES
TIMES SENT INFERNAL MA
CHINE BY MAIL.
BLAST PREVENTED BY JAP
Servant C^ls General's Attention to
Package and Police Expert Dis
covers Heavy Charge—-Second At
tempt Made Upon Editor'a Life.
Los' Angeles, Cal., Sept. 18.—The
life of G,en. Harrison Gray Otis was
threatened for the second time on
Tuesday when he received an infer
nal machine through the malls. Gen
eral Otis is publisher of the Los An
geles Times which was blown up Oc
tober 1, 1910, by the McNamara
brothers.
That he escaped injury probably
was due to the watchful eye of his
Japanese servant, who received from
the postman an infernal machine
mailed in this city and called his
employer's attention to it.
The first Infernal machine directed
at the life of General Otis was found
at his residence a few hours after his
newspaper plant had been destroyed
through the efforts of the McNamara
conspiracy.
The latest attempt, on his life was
attributed by the general to agencies
friendly to those whose conspiracy
eventuated in the destruction of his
newspaper plant and the killing of
twenty-one men three years ago.
But the police and postal authorities
believe something might be devel
opend from the theory that the Mexi
can question had a part in it, pointing
,to an lnsurrecto demonstration
against a ranch company in which
General Otis is heavily interested.
In lower California two years ago
Industrial Workers of the World
joined the "direct action" element of
Mexicans In an effort to establish a
Socialistic commonwealth in a dis
trict where General Otis owns much
property.
A few weeks ago there was an out
break caused according to report by
the employment of Chinese in the
places of Mexican laborers in lower
California, but General Otis asserted
at the time that none were employed
by him.
Capt. E. B. Foltz, a powder expert
in the police department, took the
machine to a sparsely inhabited sec
tion of the city, near the Los Angeles
jiver, and, there exp!odedi the bomb
which tore a great hole in the ground.
Chief of Police Sebastian inclined
to the theory that the bomb had been
sent by some person violently op
posed to General Otis' newspaper pol
icy. with regard to the Huerta admin
istration in Mexico. "It is possible,"
he said, "that some of the disgruntled
Mexicans sought to kill the newspa
per man whom they believed to be
supporting Huerta."
General Otis, who is a close friend
of former President Porflrio Diaz of
Mexico, is largely interested in the
California and Mexico Ranch and Cat
tle company.

When a woman suffering from some form of feminine
disorder is told that an operation is necessary, it of course*
frightens her.
The very thought of the hospital operating table and the
surgeon's knife strikes terror to her heart, and no wonder.
It is quite true that some of these troubles may reach a stage
where an operation is the only resource, but thousands o£
women have avoided the necessity of an operation by taking
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. This fact is
attested by the grateful letters they write to

HANDLE MONEY AND HATE IT
Peculiar State of Mind That Comes
of Employes1 of the Most. Noted
Gambling Resort.
Probably no one hates the sight ot
money ae do the "croupiers at Monte
Carlo, through whose hands thousands
and tbjousandB of pounds pass every
year.
It is not everyone who can be a
croupier. Fingering and counting
money at the casino requires special
training, and, accordingly, there is a
school of croupiers in Monaco. Here
there are tables similar to those used
in the gambling rooms, and each
V'scholar" is taught by a "master"
how to become a croupier.
The "master" and the "scholars"
personate players, while one "scholar"
takes the part of croupier. The money
used is sham, metal discs being sub
stituted for coins and slips of paper
•for bank notes. Within a given time
the croupier-scholar must calculate
and pay but the winning stakes, and
he must make no mistakes. He has
to learn how to' pitch money from
ope end of the table to a precise spot
at the other end, and a good many
other things.
The Method.

graph message if we* have no cash."
