ARREST IN POISON CASE
MAY BE MADE TODAY
NEW YORK, Aug. 8:—The arrest
of a man who at least may have
knowledge of how arsenic fsnt Into
the pastry dough at the fihelburn
Restaurant, No. 1127 Broadway,
killing six and leaving more than
tOO others 111, may he made today.
There are indications of a dis
agreement in opinion of some of the
Investigators. District Attorney Ban
ton said he was no nearer a solution
than before, and spoke of “treading
water," but Samuel Drexler, head of
the restaurant, declared:
"I have told the authorities all I
know. I don’t think they are baffled.
There la plenty in what I told them
\ to help them form a conclusion."
i Exactly what he told them ho
would not explain, but ho insisted
the poison did not get into the dough
through carelessness or accident, but
was put there through malice, and
he says he has furnished the inves
tigators with his reasons tor think
ing it. This if* why an arrest today
would not be a surprise.
A number of tlio.su made ill
through eating in the restaurant
Monday are not yet out of danger.
While some of the victims say they
did not eat pie or sweet rolls, and
that therefore the arsenic must have
been in other things also, the anal
ysis of various foodstuffs taken from
i the restaurant revealed no trace of
, it in anything else.

"LIE DETECTOR” SDYS MDN
DOTED IN SELF DEFENSE
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.—Accord
ini’ to Ur. William Alarston's "lie de
tector." Earl E. Dudding. who was
convicted and served live years In
the penitentiary for killing a man
twelve years ago. was justified In
shooting when ho did.
A teat was made at tho American
University, in the suburbs of Wash
ington, last night, with the sphyg
momanometer.
Dudding shot an uncle In West
Vtiginia in a quarrel. He contended
he shot In self-defensu and should
not have been punished. A jury con
victed him of voluntary manslaugh
ter. Since the verdict Dudding has
assorted he would ho vindicated.
flis feelings on the subject of un
just punishment were so keen he be
came a prison reform movement
leader. His submission to the “lie
detector” is one of many efforts to
clear his record before the world.
l)r. Marston explained after the test
that Dudding was justiiled in carry
ing a gun and killing bis uncle.
Tile tlrst step of Dr. Marston was
to take DuiUltng's blood pressure
ai d that was 132 millimetres in the
afternoon, but dropped first to 118
during the test and later to 116, The
high mark was charged to excite
ment Incident to the experience, and
the gauge fell at the patient calmed.
While the test was under way Dr.
Marston asked Dudding all about
the killing. Dudding held to his
story of self-defense throughout the
grilling. Thu instrument made a zig
zag line.
it consists of a long silken bag,
nu Indicator, and a bulb to pump
aw into the tube, and is placed on
tho brachial or arm artery to test
the blood pressure. The bag Is
v rapped around the arm just above
thr. elbow. Fear, pain and auger
cause the indicator to jump around.
If the patient tells a lie. Dr. Marston
asserts, the needle would jump from
50 to 60 points.

The Balfour note to the European
Allies did not arouse any adverse
comment or Irritation among sena
tors. It was promptly constructed ns
a shrewd political move on the part
of Lloyd George. Its purpose is be
lieved to be an effort to jog up the
debtors of England and prevent «.x
travagant expenditure for other pur
poses until the obligation Is settled.
In fact, the Balfour note is generally
considered by Senators as a stiff
warning to France and an intimation
that she had better use funds now
otherwise diverted in meeting her
debts.

Los Angeles Raid Resulting in
Death of One on Night of
April 22
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 3:—A night
raid by masked men at Inglewood,
a suburb of Los Angeles, on April
22, 1922, resulting in the slaying of
one raider and the wounding of two
others, was followed by an investi
gation in which the first definite,
charges were made that the Ku
Klux Klan of the present day is en
gaged in deeds of violence. Forty
three persons were indicted by the
Los Angeles county grand jury for
false imprisonment, kidnaping and
assault with intent to commit mur
der in connection with the raid.
Thirty-seven of the accused were
mentioned by name and six, uniden
tified at tho time, ns "John Does."
Those named included William 8.
Coburn, grand goblin of the Pacific)
domain of the Ku Klux Klan; O. W.
Price, king kleagle of the klan for
the state of California, and Nathan
A. Baker, kleagle, or organizer, for
Los Angeles county.
The victims of the Inglewood raid
were Fidel and Mathias Elduayen,
brothers, proprietors of a winery
near Inglewood, operating under a
federul license. A crowd of men
estimated as numbering from 60 to
160 entered tho Elduayen place,
bound the brothers and carried them
to the Inglewood city jail and asked
to have them locked up as "bootleg
gers.i’ The jailer refused. The
Elduayens were then carried to Re
dondo Beach, ten miles away, and a
similar attempt was made at the
lockup there, with the same result.
While the raiders were surround
ing the Elduayen place, Frank T.
Woerner, deputy city marshal of
Inglewood, rode up in a motorcycle
and was ordered to halt by one of
the group of masked men who were
guarding the highway. The deputy
displayed his badge, whereupon, he
testified later, several revolvers were
leveled at him. He drew his own
weapon and fired into the crowd,
three men falling. Woerner contin
ued firing until his ammunition was
exhausted, then returned to the
Inglewood police station for more.
When he got back to the scene of
the raid tht* crowd had dispersed.
The three men shot by Woerner
were carried into the town where
they were found to be M. B. Mosher
Inglewood constable: Walter E. Mo
sher, his son and Leonard Ruegg. a
deputy constable. The elder Mosher
died about an hour after he was
Meanwhile the Elduayens nad
been set free several miles from
their home.
An inquest was held three days
after the nJd, in an Inglewood un
dertaking establishment. Glake E.
Hhambeau, a traffic officer, testified
that the raid had been organized the
night of April 21, In the same room
where the inquest was being held,
and that at the same meeting can
didates for admission to the Ku
Klux Klan had been Identified by
Baker. He apd othe»* witnesses
said Baker led the raiders in the
attack upon the Elduayens. Coburn
testified he was in Inglewood that
night, declaring he went there be
cause he heard there was some kind
of trouble and he wanted to make
sure no Klanamen were mixed up in
it.
A few days after the inquest a
squad of deputy sheriffs equipped
with search warrants, entered Co
burn’s office and seized all docu
ments relating to the Ku Klux
Klan. Later District Attorney
Thomas Lee Wool wine declared the
documents contained "conclusive
evidence" that the Klan was offici
ally concerned with the Inglewood
raid and w;th other acts of violence
in its "Pacific Domain."
The Los Angeles grand jury exam
ined about 125 witnesses in addition
to checking over the documentary
evidence. Coburn and Price were
in Atlanta. Ga., where the supreme
headquarters of the Klan were lo
cated. when the indictment was filed,
but returned and furnished bail. All
the others also gave bail.

Germans Trying to Built! a Safe
Dirigible
BERLIN. Aug. 3-Facing the
fact that memories of the R-S8 and
Ronta disasters still are freshly in
mind throughout the world. Ger
many's builders of the new Zeppelin
intended for commercial use in the
United States are prepared to ex
haust every resource at their com
mand In producing the ‘‘last word"

an American official who has fig

This official pointed out. however,

Yet the builders recognize the pos

Issues In tho West
CHICAGO, Aug. 3 (By The As

forcement. soldiers' compensation,
labor questions and the Non-par
tisan League are among tho issues
involved in state and congressional
campaigns in central western stales.
Senatorial records in connection
with tho seating of Senator Truman
H Newberry of Michigan are being
assailed in some states. In Iowa, the
home of its authors, as well as in
Wisconsin, the Lech-Cummins rail
road law has been attacked, while
the Kansas Industrial Court is a
point o! controversy in Kansas. Pro
posed use of the state troops in con
nection with the shopmen's strike
and tho attitude of candidates to
ward the Ku KIux Klan are at is
sue in Texas. Vindication or repu
diation of the political records of
Senator lia Foliette of Wisconsin,
and Senator Reed of Missouri, are
the crucial questions in their re
spective slates. and are re
lated by the fact that one charge of
opponents against Senator Reed is
that the senator in 1320 violated
party regularity by going to Wiscon
sin to support a La Foliette Inde
pendent.

Senator Lodge will Be Opposed
BOSTON, Aug. 3.—(By The Asso

citizens have declared their willing
ness to wear the senatorial toga in
Washington in the belief that thirty
years' service there is enough for
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge and that
he ought to be retired next March.
But these have different ideas as to
how this ought to be done. The
matter will be submitted to the vot
ers of this state at the primaries on
September 12, and they will decide
whether Senator Lodge shall make
a sixth appearance as the Republi
can nominee in the November elec
tion and which one of four Demo
crats shall represent the opposition.
Joseph Walker, former speaker of
the House of Representatives, is
contesting the Republican nomina
tion with Senator Lodge. He was at
ope time allied with the Progressive
wing of the party. The candidates
for the Democratic nomination are
Colonel William A. Gaston, a bank
er and long active in his party:
Sherman L. Whipple, leading attor-*
ney; Professor Dallas Lore Sharp of
Boston University and John Jack
son Walsh, a former state senator.
All are Boston men.
Prussia Shows Solicitude for People
BERLIN, Aug. 3:—Prussia has
established a precedent in its annals
by granting fiscal autonomy to an
area of one and one-half kilometers
with a population of approximately
2,600. The section concerned is the
Island of Heligoland.
In order to quiet discontent among
the Heligolanders, the Prussian gov
ernment has decided to grant them
a more independent administration
than heretofore. The island will be
treated as separate from the district
of Huederdlthmarschen, and it is
empowered to regulate Its local tax
ation according to the islanders'
needs.
It will have a legislature or "land
rat” of its own, the members of
which will live on the island. In
place of the present district board
there will be a board of two Heligo
landers under jurisdiction of the
legislature. The government head
of Schleswig will maintain supervi
sion over the island.
Two Shim Duo Merc
i The vessels due in local waters
from foreign ports are: Aim from
South America, with a cargo of cop
per ore for the U. S. Metals Refining
Company at Roosevelt; Mayaro from
the British West Indies, with a cargo
of crude asphalt for the Barber
Asphalt Company. The Kram, which
recently docked at the plant of the
Barber Asphalt Company with a
cargo of asphalt, is expected to sail
shortly for South America with a
general cargo.
Reed for Senator
PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 3:—The
death of Senator Crow makes the
third vacancy in the United States
senate from Pennsylvania within tei^
months. P. C. Knox died October
12 and Boles Penrose on New Year’s
eve.
Senator Crow was appointed by
Governor Sproul to fill the Knox va
cancy until a successor was elected
in November. Because of illness he
declined to become a candidate for
the term which expires next March
and Major David A. Reed of Pitts
burgh was nominated by the Repub
licans at the May primary without
opposition, both for the unexpired
term and full term beginning in
March.
Political leaders here expect Gov
ernor Sproul to appoint Major Reed
to succeed Senator Crow because he
was the party's choice for the unex
pired and full term of Senator Knox.
