I Jealousy Prompts Artist, 52, and Girl To Die in Love Pact Waitress, Sixteen, Persuad? ed by Man to Dress Hair j Unbecomingly and Re- ! main Away From Church EMMITTSBURG, Md., Aug. 13.?In? sane jealousy, which prompted the fear that he might lose her, is believed to have brought about the suicide pact between J. Ford Thompson, fifty-two, a wealthy scholar, archaeologist and artist, and Miss Mary Anna Sneeringer, sixteen, waitress in a local hotel, whose bodies were .found near here yesterday. It was this jealousy which made Thompson prevail upon the girl to wear the plainest of clothes and to dress her hair in a fashion that de? tracted somewhat from her beauty. Miss Sneeringer was . handsome, hav? ing large brown eyes, an unusually fair complexion and masses of black hair. Her good looks were remarked upon by the tourists who visited the hotel kept by her aunt, Mrs. Anna M. Slagle, where the girl worked. Thompson, according to the story told by relatives of the girl, was at? tracted the first time he saw her, which was about a year ago. He pressed their acquaintanceship, visited her frequent? ly, gave her piesents and in a short while she became infatuated with him. Questioned by her aunt the girl con? fessed that sho changed her manner of dressing because Thompson asked her. Mrs. Slagle said she asked Thompson about it, and he admitted he wanted her to be unattractive so that no one would attempt to take her from him. He persuaded the girl to give up her relisions beliefs and remain away from church. Thompson is said to have been an atheist. He sent Miss Sneer iiie.-r books treating on this subject. ?RU's. Sktgle said she forbade her niece sejMng Thompson and ordered him tc stay away from the hotel. The gir! told her. However, that if ghe was not permitted to receive Thompson at thf hotel she would go to Frederick, when he lived, and meet him there. The auht then ??rave permission for Thomp? son to continue calling. These visit; continued regularly, until Loth disap peared from the hotel Wednesday af ternoon. -Miss Sneeringer, according to hej aunt, worked at the hotel so that he four sisters .might be educated. Sh? | was the oldest of the family, and great iy desired an education. -. Mr. and Mrs.E. J. Berwinc Give Ball at Newpor | D?corations Are Elaborate foi !

Niece Begins Fight For Million Dollar Estate of Mrs. Cole Woman, Who Left Bulk of Fortune to Physician,Said to Have Been Incompetent and Unduly Influenced Mrs. EUn L. Riley, of Chicago, began a contest in the Surrogates' Court yes? terday of the will of her aunt, Mrs. Margaret C. Cole, who died May 14 last leaving an estate said to be valued at $1,250,000. The greater portion was bequeathed to her physician. Dr. Free? man Ford Ward, of ??16 Madison Ave? nue. Surrogate Cofealan appointed Cornelius J. Sullivan temporary ad? ministrator of the estate during the pendency of the contest. It is contended by Mrs. Riley that hor aunt was mentally incompetent when she executed the will and that for twelve years before her death shf was a paralytic as a result of injuries received in a hotel elevator accident. Mrs. Riley also alleges that Mrs. Cole, who was fifty-four years old at the time she died, was unduly influenced. In the contested document Mrs. Cole left $1,000 each to several relatives and an income from $20,000 to an? other, giving the residue of her estate to Dr. Ward, with the exception of her valuable collection of diamonds, which the testatrix bequeathed to the wife of the physician. Mrs. Riley says Dr. Ward was a very indulgent physician in treating Mrs. Cole, who, according to her niece, became infatuated with him. For a long time Mrs. Riley and two nurses looked after the comfort of Mrs. Cole, who, it is said, became ob? sessed with the belief that they were mistreating her. In this Dr. Ward en? couraged the patient, according to Mrs. Riley, telling the patient: "That is right. I am your only friend. You must tell me everything that hap? pens." The physician admitted receiving money at the rate of $15,000 a year for his services to Mrs. Cole. Mrs. Riley once prepared a statement of her aunt's finances, which showed her property had a value of $1,100,000, her collection of diamonds and other jewels being estimated at $100.00u. In the presence of Dr. Ward the niece showed that statement to Mrs. Cole. At first she seemed pleased with it. Then her demeanor changed. "Damn you," Mrs. Cole is quoted as saying, "why are you figuring out how much money I've got? I suppose you ! are figuring to get it." Doctors Used Splints in Dark Ages, Museum Finds j Remains of Indian Princess, Unearthed in New Mexico, Show Bone Setting When the surgeon binds a splint to your fractured arm or leg, or <?pplies a mechanical support to crushed or broken bones composing any part of the human frame, lie is practicing a relief measure which preceded his own civilization. That surgeons of the lost civilization bound splints on their patients just as do modern bone doctors, but perhaps ? with less skill, is proved by the un- ? earthing of the remains of an Indian j princess in the Pueblo ruin at Aztec. ! N. M., according to an announcement | made at the American Museum of; Natural History. Earl H. Morris, of the museum, who is in charge of the excavation reports i that the body shows a fractured pelvis, a broken arm and other bone disloca- I tions. The work of the primitive sur- j geon, his splints and binding; are still ? intact. At least six splints were bound skilfully to the fractured arm. It is ' evident, however, that the pelvis frac- I ture was a trifle beyond the skill of the surgeon, and that, with other in- : juries, caused death. The princess had . undoubtedly suffered terrible injury, j possibly by a"long fall from a cliff. Th?? royal remains were found wrapped in an inside shroud of*won-! derfully woven cotton cloth, next a "mantle?, of feathe^cloth, and all in? closed in a mat of plaited rushes. Paper Shortage Still Acute Strict Conservation of News? print Urged hy Puhlishers Despite importation of German and Scandinavian paper in small quanti- ! ties and the fact that domestic facto- j ries are being constructed, the short? age of news print is still acute, and can only be combated by strict con? servation, according to a statement ,issued last night by the paper commit? tee of the American Newspaper Pub? lishers' Association. The practice of conservation in the j last few months, however, the state- , ment said, has been reflected in cur? rent quotations of the spot market, j which have declined to about 11 cents | a pound, with occasional futures quoted at 10 cents. "For variously assigned reasons, cer? tain manufacturers are offering less paper for contract next year than they i sold to American publishers this year," j the statement continued. "Several j mills under course of construction j that were supposed to be in operation j soon have been delayed in completion." j -? Alimony Not Fixed by Court In Butler Annulment Suit ! Harry V. Butler asked Tho Tribune yesterday to correct the statement that | Justice Glennon had awarded Mrs. | Bertha M. Butler $500 a^- month ali? mony and ?3.000 counsel fees in the ? annulment suit brought by the hus- ? band and the counter suit for separa- ' tion filed by the wife. Instead of taking action on the ali? mony application of Mrs. Butler, Justice Glennon referred the matter' to a referee for the purpose of ascer- [ taining the financial status of Mr. j Butler. Bolt of Lightning Blows Up D? Pont Powder Mill feuilding WAYNE, N.

The Tribune Fresh Air Fund Motherly Hostesses of "Fresh Airs" Send Specifications for Little Guests A cute little flaxen hatred doll. A six-year-old colored girl. An orthodox Jewish child. A seven-year-old blue eyed boy. An orphan. An infantile paralysis cripple. An Italian boy that speaks English. Chinese or Japanese girl of five or six. This is not the beginning of an at? tempt to catalogue all?the possible per? mutations and combinations of child life, but the specifications included in the invitations of a ?ew of the host? esses .who are to entertain ?'Fresh Airs" next week. When a country host makes up her mind to entertain a Fresh Air Ruest she doesn't think "guest" in the abstract. She,sees her? self playing fairy godmother to some one o9*whom she conjures up a fairly definite picture. Usually there's a rea? son for the sort of picture she has in mind. Perhaps little Molly Smith was a "cute little flaxen-haired doll" whom her mother adored until she lost her. When Mrs. Smith determines to give a youngster from the city tenements a vacation, what was more natural than that she. should wish for a tot whe could be Molly in "make-believe" foi a while ? A hostess, sending on her invitatior the other day, wrote: "I've been mar? ried ten years and have never had i child of my own. I want one such a; I would like to have been mother to Please send me a little six or sever year old blue-eyed boy." Another wrote not long ago: "I wa: an orphan from the time I was thre? and lived a hard, loveless lite as i child. I'd like ?an orphan into whos? life I can bring a little love and sur. shine." The hostess who asked for the in fantile paralysis? cripple you migh think would have little sympathy t expend on others, but read the reasc behind her picture. She writes: " live in the country, but I see it alway from a wheel chair, and have for tc years. Wheel chair or no wheel chaii I have the birds and flowers aroun me and the clear blue sky above m? I'd love a cha,nce to make one of you little 'fellers' see. God's boautic through my eyes?. I'd be especial! grateful to you if you could pick m out one who, like myself, is a victii of infantile paralysis." The hostess who wants the Chines or Japanese girl is interested in foi eign missions; the one who wants "six-year-old colored girl" is, of cours a big hearted colored mammy who liv? on a little green farm in a valley; th orthodox Jewish child is, no doub for an orthodox Jewish family, and s oh. Next week The Tribune Fund wi send for vacations 1,400 children. Tw? thirds of them are to be entertain? by private hostesses, nnd most of tl invitations for that nine hundred o( come from women who have in mil more or less detailed pictures of tl sort of children they would like have as guests. How does the Fund select childr? who meet the specifications of the pictures? By keeping in touch with more than two hundred social welfare workers throughout the city who know all classes and conditions of children, by innumerable telephone calls, by writing countless letters, by unceas? ingly fingering a card index of chil? dren for whom vacations have been asked?from nine in the morning Until, ten or eleven at night, seven days in the week. Hard work? Yes; but it's worth while, isn't it?especially when one ?realizes that it not only results in pleasant vacations for the little waifs of the city but satisfies the longings^ of many a mother heart among the hosts who open their homes to the children.

Skeleton is identified as That of Missing N.Y. Man Uncle Recognizes Clothes ^Vi?h Bones Found Near Hartford; Police Unconvinced HARTFORD. Conn., Aug. 13. ? A skeleton found Sunday in Farmington was exhumed this afternoon and iden? tified by means of clothing found with it as that of Charles Coppola, a chaui four of South Norwalk, who had been missing since February, 1919, when his automobile was discovered in-the hands of stangers in Central Park, New York. The identification was made by ' Michael Piccione. of South Norwalk, uncle of the missing man. It has not been accepted by the authorities. Thomas F. Egan. superintendent of the state police, said that he was certain the remains were not those of.Coppola, but of a much older man. Coppola's relatives, in view of the opposite view taken by the police, de? cided not to claim the body. Piccione and Louis Coppola, father of the miss? ing man, are sure, nevertheless, that the police are mistaken. They declared that the assertion of Superintendent Egan was based on the absence of nu? merous teeth from the jaws. They visited the grave to-day and picked up many teeth, which they think dropped from the sockets when the skeleton was exhumed. The suit and belt found with the skeleton are those worn by Coppola on tho day he disappeared, according to his father ana uncle. The shoes and hat are not his, they say. One of the men found with Coppola's car is now in prison serving a term for larceny. ?-? Murderer's Life Spared Sansone Pronounced Insane; Admitted Part- in 6 Killings OSSINING, N. Y..

Later she made an appeal and at the rehearing yesterday said that she had come here to marry him and at the conclusion of her testimony she was again ordered excluded.
