PDFU Oil STAGE
Public Always Enjoys Putag
ent Style of Cairns and
His Whirlwind Humor
-1 v - ' : 1
, Occasionally, it has been (said
that lecturers are no longer pop
ular. This is probably due to the
fact; that a great many people,
who have been trying to make
public speeches in recent years,
really have no right to talk In
public. Theatrical men, Chautau
qua managers and celebrity man
agers find that the public gives a
greater response than everj and
turns out in the greatest numbers
in ijistory to hear men who really
talk and who are known to have
that ability. j
Dr. Alexander Cairns, iwho
speaks on the Chautauqua to be
held here recently, Is one of the
men who tan take an audience ot
men, women or children of; any
walk of life and keep them, from
beginning to end, without losing
a single auditor. He is one of
the type that is remembered for
years after he leaves. j
Dr. Cairns isn't just "a lectur
er." He has something definite
and concrete to say and saysj it in
a way that leaves a lasting im
pression upon his hearers, j The
time of the old "mother, home and
heaven" type of speaker,, who has
a sort of "be good and you! will
be happy" philosophy and doesn't
say anything else is past, j The
public , is entirely too sophisjticat
nowadays to pay any" attention to
a general uplift kind of talk.jThe
want concrete facts and, definite
problems dealt with. j
. Dr. Cairns does this in his
"Gobse that Lays the Golden
Egg" which is a discussion of the
modern problems of the American
home and community. He doesn't
resort to stale exhorations nor
give any stereotyped cure for the
problems tiat the present century
has brought on the country! In
stead, he takes an understanding
view of the young life of jtoda?
and the changed conditions con
fronting the homes, schools and
the public generally. i
His point of view is an optimis
tic one. He doesn't think thkt the
world is going to the devil of that
the youth of today is the worst in
history, and he gives good! logic
to support his point of viewj
Dr. Cairn 8 is an Immensely in
teresting speaker Is a j witty
Irishman with a continual inn of
humor through his talk, besides
having a brilliant personality and
sparkling delivery hich aids to

BROOKLYN SUSPECT
E
Hundred-Detectives in Black j
Masks Fail to Elicit
Confession
NEW YORK, July 12. (AP)
Frem 36 hours of "third degree
ing" in which he at one time faced
100 detectives whose faces were
hidden behind black masks, Lud
wig Halverson Lee, Brooklyn cel
lar murder suspect, emerged today
with police claiming one "slightly
damaging admission" as their sole
victory.
Grilling of Lee, an athieiic Kor-
wegian of 38, was interrupted to
day by his arraignment on a short
affidavit charging him with the
murders of Miss Sarah Elizabeth
Brownell, 69 year old spinster to
whom he said he had been en
gaged, and Mrs. Selma Larsen
Bennett, 4 8 year old mother of
four children. Lee pleaded not
guilty and was .held without bail.
Today a patrolman found in
Prospect Park, not far from the
house where portions of the hack
ed, bodies of Miss- Brownell and
Mrs. Bennett were hidden, another
package of bones. It was believed
tbeae appertained , to the' same
ftiurders. Lee. was janitor of the
Prospect Place house, which
Mrs. Bennett sold to Miss Brow
nell.
The "admission" police claim to
have obtained from Lee was this:
About the thirtieth hour of his
grilling he told them, they report
ed, that be had purchased several
cans of lye from a Brooklyn hard
ware Btore, making' small pur
chases at different times. But to
this assertion Lee added that he
had bought the lye to cleanse the
sewer and pipes, of the house in
which grease had accumulated.
"He's the toughest subject we
ever handled," Inspector Sullivan
said, as the questioning of Lee
was halted in the fortieth hour,
Lee smiled at reporters when he
was 'taken 'to his cell.
'1 The investigators during the
day abandoned at least temporar
.ily the theory that Miss Evelyn
