Kirch ner. He came in. Ardor ran all over the place. Kirehnef clasped her in his arms. Miss Ingles testified, and kissed her fully 20 minutes. His violent kisses were responihle for three tooth marks that stayed on her lips several aays. Miss Ingles was so distraught by the event that she was compelled to spend a recuperative day in bed. Kirchner testified that for three years previous to August 22, the day of the alleged protested embrace, he had kissd the unresisting Miss In gles on the lip, forehead and the back of her neck without a single "don't."

From magnificently furnished of fices occupying the entire eleventh floor of No. 251 Fourth avenue, en thusiastic stock salesmen, recruited through the medium of want ads in the daily papers, have been emerging in the past few weeks, armed with glowing prospectuses and well fortified with "facts and figures," to dr-- the attention of the investing: public to the moat Stupendous aircraft enterprise yet announced in America. These salesmen, working on a 12 per cent commission, are mak ing a determined "campaign" skill fully directed by the manager of the enterprise, to sell the stock of the Aircraft Construction Transpor tation Corporation of Delaware, cap italized at $100,000,000. The backbone of the selling argu ments placed in the hands of the salesmen and later of the investor is the- assurance that this com pany, sometime in the future, when it sells enough stock, will build and operate three monster airships, each 300 feet longer than the longest .eppelln of record, to operate a passenger, mall and express carry ing service between New York and Chicago. Nfw Patents Claimed. The attractively arranged pros pectus, which sets forth all of the details of the company's aspirations, also states: "Our patent situation is most un usual, and with patents on hand and patents pending we believe we ought to control the aircraft situation in America." Below the lithograph Is a table giving the dimensions and earning capacity of the Aurora and her planned-for sister ships. They are as follows: Length, 1000 feet; diameter, 107 feet; helium gas capacity, 5,600,000 cubic feet; engines, six 600 horse power; speed, 80 miles an hour; cruising radius, 30,000 miles; dura tion flight, three weeks; gross lift, 200,000 pounds: useful load, 100.000 pounds; passengers, 300 per trip; mail-and express, 25,000 pounds; trip, 10 hours; fare to Chicago, $75. The Aurora and her sisters will cost, it is stated, $7,425,000 apiece; the hangars, repair shops, etc., $4,325,000, and equipment at landing fields and terminals, $250,000, mak ing a total equipment cost of $12, 000,000. By operating the $12,000,000 equip ment described above, the company, again quo'ing its official prospectus, estimates that its annual gross earn ings will be $17,350,000 on the basi of 600 trips a year with 300 pas sengers a trip, plus the revenues from mail, parcel posts and "fast express." Expense to Be 95,015,100. The operating expenses are fig ured at $5,015,100, of which the largest single amount is $2,375,000 for "depreciation." Samuel C. Morehouse, New Haven lawyer, is president of the Aircraft Construction Transportation com pany, and was president of-the Con necticut Aircraft corporation, now a subsidiary company. The Con necticut Aircraft corporation has been in existence nine years and has built during that time 186 airships and balloons for the navy and army. The Aircraft Construction company, which bought the other company, is still conducting this business in a factory on Chapel street in New Haven. The offices of the Aircraft Syndi cate, Inc., when visited toy a reporter were scantily populated. J. P. Byrd, president of the selling corporation. occupiea tne president s office, con taining mahogany furniture and rugs, very soothing to tread upon. The walls were adorned with pic tures of flying boats. Fresh flow ers filled the vases on the desks. Mr. Byrd explained that the elabo rate offices which his concern occu pied were' more or less an accident. They had been occupied by the Fed-, era.1 Adding Machine company, which had moved to another floor in the same building. "Some of the furniture and rugs are mine, but most of them belong to the previ ous tenant. I have a monthly lease on these offices," he concluded. Asked for a biographical sketch of himself, Mr. Byrd said: "I have been an actor and a the atrical man. I played with Nat Goodwin when I was a young man. I then bought and sold theaters in Salem, Or. I started one of the first moving picture theaters in this country the Fay theater on Lin coln avenue, in Chicago. I have bee a traveling man for about 25 years. When a young man I sold candy. I was the first to make salt water taffy at the seaside. When 19 years old I had a concession at Atlantic City on the board walk. Before selling this stock, in which I have the greatest faith, I had offices at No. 2 East Forty-second street. While not actually engaged in the brokerage business, I applied for a brokerage license. I live in Hack ensack, in fact, am a property holder there and a great friend of the mayor." DUTIES DECLARED THAT OF SECRETARY TO SOCIETY. Optimist Said to Assign Moral istic Mission Pessimist Some times Doubts Truth. FRANKLIN, Ind.. Oct. 29. The at titude of the modern newspaper is that of a secretary to society, or a historian, and it assumes no more responsibility, George C. Baslian, as sistant Sunday editor of the Chicago Tribune, said in an address to In diana college and high school stu dents here last night. Giving a demonstration of what he termed news arithmetic Mr. Bas lian said: "One ordinary, man plus one ordi nary life equals zero in news. "One ordinary man plus one ex traordinary adventure equals news. "One ordinary man plus one extra ordinary achievement equals news. "fine chorus girl plus one bank cashier minus $100,000 equals news. "One man plus one auto, plus one gun, plus one quart, equals news." The optimist mistakenly assigns to the modern newspaper a moral istic mission while the pessimist makes the mistake of regarding the newspaper as untruthful and super ficial. The real newspaper, he said, records news events impartially and without favor in its news columns, reserving comment for its editorial columns or signed articles. The newspaper, he observed, does not create events, but merely chron icles them and the ideal reporter is the fair impartial observer. The newspaper, he said, spreads a com plete record of today's problems, vic tories and defeats before man, that he may, if he will, pass judgment on himself and determine to be a little better tomorrow. SILVER FISHRUN HEAVY Cannery Finds Demand Slack and Supply Largest in Years. HOQUIAM. Wash., Oct. 29. (Spe cial.) Grays Harbor fishermen and cannerymen are facing a strange and unprecedented .. situa tion, according to Gus Strand, can nery operator. At the time of the usual end of the silver run the fish are entering the harbor in greater numbers than he has seen in 15 years, he declares, and are crowd ing out the chums which have be gun to run in heavy schools. The silvers present an unusual problem for the canners, since there is al most no market for them canned and little market for them fresh. Owing to the fact that the fish are also running now in great numbers in Alaskan - waters and along the Oregon coast the harbor run suffers, since the Alaska fish are considered of a better quality. AUTHOR DESCRIBES DDY-SOUL SCHEMI Physiology of Reproduction Is Studied. SENSATION IS EXPECTED RAILROAD WORK ASSURED Idaho Central Expected to Be Completed Within Year. TWIN FALLS. Idaho, Oct. 29.

"The road is being rapidly surveyed, andT construction operations will be car ried on within a very short time." MUTE KISS FOSE ASSA.CL.T AXE BATTERY, AS SERTS MISS OF 25. Right or Wrong of Protracted Embrace Put lp to Judge In Michigan Court. (By Chicaeo Tribune Leased Wiro DETROIT, Mich., Oct. 29. While a minute hug may be a moral delight and a sterilized elixir, is a 20-min-ute embrace to, be construed as as sault and battery, or merely an en ergetic tribute to the wooed? Bessie Ingles, a recipient of the extended caress, put the delicate problem up to Judge Heston in court Saturday. She tacitly took sides with the Pennsylvania censors, who, measur ing right and wrong by yardage, have ruled that any film kiss last ing more than 10 feet is out of bounds and gets the disciplinary ehears. She's for that, Indeed. Miss Ingles, who is 25 years of age, was fixing her hair in the YOUTH'S BODY IDENTIFIED Michael J. Schutzman, Not Sher man, Was Young Man Drowned. PASCO, Wash., Oct. 29.

Conan Doyle Declares Critics Will Have Strong Case Against New Textbook. Our American Adventure, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. (Copyright by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, for the United States and Great Britain. Released by 'orth American Newspaper Alliance.) ARTICLE VI (Continued). The manuscript has to do with the physiology of reproduction and tne connection Between soui ana body at the time of birth. There are numerous and complex illustrations, and it is impossible to doubt, pre suming that the work is by Bacon. that he had a micros-cope and a good one. Cells and even nuclei are shown, and the whole relation ot ovum and Fallopian tube3 is cor rectly set forth. If his occult knowledge is as accurate as his an atomy, the old Friar knew a good J oeai, out the text is disfigured by a good deal of license so far as Pro fessor Newbold has been able to translate, it. The book should make a sensation when it appear, thougTt I can understand that the critics will have a strong case. Talking of curious manuscripts, 1 spent at morning in Mr. Morgan's famous library in New York and had an interview with the famous finan cier, a tall, ruddy comDlcxioned man, less melancholy than most mil lionaires whom I have met. He was just off to meet the British delega tion and try to settle up the affairs of poor, distracted Europe. Miss Green, his' learned and pleasant liDrarian. showed us round. I was particularly anxious "to see the old manuscript upon which Mr. Bu chanan had founded his claim that he had discovered a version of the Scriptures older than any known, and possibly dating from the first century. His published story was that while he was examining a twelfth century Gospel he perceived writing underneath the text, and found upon closer examination that the parchment had been used before and that he had come upon this re markable old version of the Scrip tures. Only Correction Understood. If the parchment which I saw was the same as that of Mr. Buchanan, and the librarian assured me that it wa so, I must confess that my eyes or my Imagination are duller than his, for I could make out nothing save an occasional correction by the scribe superimposed upon his own erased writing. It would, indeed, be a glorious thing if we could real ly come upon a set of Gospels of the first or even of the second century, for they would give us a pure text and avoid those pernicious addi tions and falsifications which were brought about before Jerome col lected the Vulgate into one volume. We have had to drink ever since from a tainted stream, and we need to get some spot nearer the springs and before the poison was intro duced. I have Just been reading Mrs. As- quith's remarks upon the American papers, and especially upon the greater intelligence shown in the reporting than in the editing. The same thing lias struck me many times. The editors seem to place the intelligence of the public very low and to imagine that they can not, be attracted save by vulgar, screaming headlines. It has been quite a Pleasure very often to. talk to the reporters, and next day 1 have often seen the result of the talk in a dignified, rational inter view disfigured by such caption as "Do Spooks Marry?" or "High Jinks in the Beyond," utterly out of keep ing with the report and evidently introduced by the man in the of fice who had not been in contact with me at all. The American papers have a strange way, also, of endeavoring to compress the whole meaning of some item into a few words of head line, which, as often as not, are slamg. Thus you will read, "Patrol man Smith Shcots Up Con Man Hop kins and Recovers Wad," or "Mud Hens Toss Off a Double Header" (this is baseball), or "Senator Smith Hands the Dope to the Committee." All Not Sensational. All papers are not sensational. however, nor can we afford to preach much in the matter. There are some American journals, such as the Boston Transcript, which could match the Scotsman for demure sobriety, and would announce the Day of Judgment in small type. The American press is a live thing and deals strenuously with living1 issues I cou.ld not conceive of any American organ behaving as the London Times has done with regard to spiritualism. Right or wrong, it is notorious that English thoue-ht has been intensely exercised upon this subject for the last five or six years, yet the only references which I have ever seen to it in this great paper, whioh is supposed to mirror the doings of the nation, is one bsurdly inaccurate report of a speech of mine, and one. leader in which the writer said that he would embrace spiritualism when he was shown that he could get more win ners in a hcrse race than in a nor mal fashion. I don't'know whether he judges the truth of Christianity in a similar fashion. But an intel ligent boycott of this sort would be unthinkable in the broad-minded American Journals a fact which may well condone many quaint head lines, clownish and undignified as they often are.

Prosecutor. Os trander and deputy sheriffs of Lake county tonight announced they were going to question a young woman living near the woods where the mutilated body of Mrs. Hazel Burns was found late Wednesday, buried in a shallow grave, regard ing a report that the woman had heard screams from ' the direction of the woods early Wednesday morning. A neighbor who gave the information to the sheriff said the girl had told of being awakened by shrieks of terror. Cleveland detectives at the same time announced they had begun a search for the diary of Mrs. Burns, reported to contain passages which would give a clew to the motive of the crime. Lake county authorities also were searching the scene of the murder for a shovel and gun which are thought to have been used in the murder. Search also is being made by Lake county authorities for $2700 which Burns claims he hid in his Cleve land home and which was not found in a search by authorities, and for diamonds which Mrs. Burns was said to have worn. Authorities now inclined to the belief that possibly Mrs. Burns might have had the money and diamonds in her posses sion Wednesday and may have been the victim of highwaymen.
