Its man- ager was Herry Hoper, who killed frogs, birds, children, men a- women 28 easily as he played the piano or talked intelligently of art and literature. In a memorandum beok he listed the people he would “‘reo yve’’, and when they were killed, always in such away that no guilt reflected on him, he crossed off their names and placed a date opposite. _ Into his net of death fell a beautiful girl and her little brother, and a young New Yorker who dared to attempt to rescue her from her seemingly hopeiess position As =z novel, *‘The Killer’”attracted much comment and interest because of th2 power of the story, the unique and daring central figure, and the verility of the plot. Andallthe attention it attracted as a book has been transferred two-fold to its screen version, which offers a melodrama probably never before equalled on the shadow screen.

Laus nne, April 24th.—The resumed Near East Conference got under way today, with the Turks apparently in no more conciliatory frame of mind than during the previous conference, which collapsed over the economic and financial problems of the pro; osed peace treaty. The Angora delegates, the Allied spokes- men said tonight, gave no imprz2ssion during the days proceeding of an inten- tion to make concessions on any of the disputed points. The Turkish financial expert told the financial committee of the conference at its first ymeeting that the Turks wanted the whole world to understand that Turkey was ready and determined to pay her just share of the Ottoman debt, but wanted a definite un- derstanding that the provinces detached from ber territory, as a result of the great war, should also bear their just share of the total debt burden.

The Allies flatly declined to accept .the Turkich contention that the paper money constitutes a debt to be borne by the de- tached provinces, but agreed that divi- sion of the Ottoman debt shall be obliga- tory and the matter will be submitted to experts, who will work out the details. Numerous other financial guestions of an extremely technical nature were at- tacked but the majority were referred to the experts, London, April 24th.—Mr. J. H. Thom- as, M. P., General Secretary of the Na- tional Union of Railwaymen, as well as other leaders among the railwaymen in this country, depreciates the statement of Mr. Newbold, the communist member of the House of Commons for Mother- well, that this com’ng summer England will be faced with a railway strike. Many branches of the National Union of Rail- waymen have passed resolutions express- ing a determination to revise the propos- el reduction in the present standard wage, but the yolicy of the railwaymen’s leaders has been to discourage the sirike as a weapon against the employers and they remain unshaken in this attitude. Berlin, April 24th. —As a result of the depreciation of the mark, tbe 1923 bud- get, for the carrying out of the peace treaty, must be entirely recrafted and the amounts to be paid in foreign curren- cy calculated on the basis of one dollar to 20,000 marks, it was announred today. Washington, April 24th. —A clash be- tween President Harding, backed by Messrs. Hughes and Hoover, and the Sen- ate Republican leaders over entrance into the world court, may give an entirely new turn to the approaching presidential campaign. Senator Johnson, of Califor- nia, now in Europe, will retura in June. His friends predict that if republican op- position to the Harding world court plan continues, Senator Johnson, will almost certainly take the stump and becomea candidate azainst President Harding. Tralee, County Kerry, Ireland, April 25th.—Richard Hatheway, James Mckn- ery and John Greaney were executed here today by the Free State authorities. Hatheway, who was a deserter from a British regiment, was captured in the re- cent siege of a cave in which a band of le'.régulars was holding out on the Kerry cliffs. New York, April 24th.—Coney Island and Far Rockaway, two of New York’s best known seashore resorts, were visit- ed this afternoon by fires that caused damage estimated at five hundred thou- sand dollars. : London, April 25th.—The prospect of Germany making a definite reparation offer, especially with reference to a set- tlement of the Ruhr situation, is widely discussed in the Press here. The view generally taken by German newspapegs points to the likelihood that an import- ant pronouncement regarding recent ut-
