Miss Rappe at the Palace hotel
Sunday afternoon, while he was reg

name, but commented to a friend on
her beauty. .

to the St. Francis to see Fishbeck,

talking in the lobby, Miss Rappe
came up and they were introduced.
This, he said, was his first informa

were acquainted. Fishbeck, he stat-
- ed, then informed him that . there
was a party on toot m AroucKics
rooms. They talked , awhile, then
went upstairs and" took part in the
affair. He- related that he saw noth
ing suspicious, and did not know
that Arbuckle and Miss Rappe had
beert, at any time, alone in a room.
He was there. he said, until 4:30
o'clock, at Which time some on in
the crowd ' started the word around
that reporters were coming to in

partment will also have a single pur
chasing and a single selling agent.
Tells of Write.
'The econmy lhat will follow such
a consolidation is indicated by an in
cident which was revealed by my
committee investigating exoenditurcs
in the War department. The army
had on hand after fhe armitiee, 10,-
000,000 pounds of froreir beef, which
we had declared surplus and ordered
sold. The army disposed "of it for
approximately 9 cents a pound,' while
?t the same time the navy purchased
from the packers several .million
pounds at 20 cents a pound. A single
purchasing agent for the two de
partments would have saved this
"The army and navy are constant- '
ly competing with each other in the
open market for supplies and are Bid
ding in competition with each other
almost daily. This will all be .obvi
ated through the proposed consoli
dation. ..
"I am privileged to say that Pres
ident' Harding approves this plan,
and' the objections originally en
countered by the heads of the de
partments have largely subsided.
"It will be necessary' to get this
bill through congress after all its de
tails lfave been agreed upon by the
committee. 1 . . ,
Officials Rebellious.
' "Army , and navy officials are re
bellious over the consolidation and
have started propaganda against the
measure, but I do not believe the op
position will get anywhere."
..It isv believed, bwever, that con
gress will approve the measure when
the bill is reported.'' - In this connec
tion it is interesting to. recall that
the first public suggestion of the
proposed consolidation came in. the
course of a running debate ' in ' the
house some three months, ago be
tween Representative , Wood of In
diana and Congressman. Reavis,
wherein Reavis suggested thai such a
plan was under consideration, by the
joint congressional committee;-' Mr.
Reavis was vociferously applauded
when he made the observation, there
by snowing the temper of , -the house.
" Continuing his analysis of what is
being considered, by tha? Committee,
Mr. Reavis said : "In'-rthis consolida
tion' Of the Afmy and Navy depart
ments every activity not in harmony
with war will be taken out -of thJ
liepartmcnt ot f national letense.
Rivers and harbors being cared fo:
by army engineers will probably be
located in a' department of public
works, which will be created out of
a reorganization of the Interior de
partment," the army engineers being
detailed td the department of public
work for such service. "
Question of Railroads.
. "The last war developed-that the
engineering problem relates almost
exclusively to mobile armies. It
was a question of railroads, good
highways and rapid transportation,
with such indicentals". as' drainage
and sanitation. '
'.. "Our army engineers have been
spending '-their time . on rivers and
harbors ' and none of them are
equipped for modern warfare. With
out exception they were relieved
from engineering duties and the
whole problem- placed in the hands
of' civilian engineers, under General
Atterbury of the Pennsylvania rail
road. General Seibert, who partici
pated in buildingthe Panama canal,
was kept in Washington at the head
of the chemical warfare service. Gen
eral Newcomber was asigned to duty
in Washington as assistant to Seibert.
General Kuhn was placed in the line.
General Harts was provost marshal
of Paris. General Biddle was com
manding troops in England. General
Kutz was in charge of Camp
Humphreys, Va. General ' Taylor
was kept in America on rivers and
harbors. These are the. topnotch
men in the engineer corps.

Hitchcock Makes Statement.
' Senator, Hitchcock of Nebraska,
ranking democratic, member of the
foreign relations committee, gave out
a statement to the effect that Hughes,
Root, Lodge arid Underwood con
stitute "a strong committee," but
he added: '
"Some of us would have been glad
to see upon the committee, men ot
more, advanced- views , on disarma
ment than President Harding is sup
posed to hold, v For instance, ir
Borah could have been named his
selection would have been a guar
antee of a very earnest and deter
mined effort to produce immediate
results. In the very nature of
things, however, the American mem
bers must represent the president
and they cannot properly go beyond
his program, which is supposed to
be a very moderate one. ',-..
"In my opinion, ' it should be the
policy of the democrats, as well as
republicans, to give moral support
to the effort being made by this con
ference to promote armament reduc
tions. President Harding's program
does not go far enough to suit me,
but it goes m the right direction." .

murdered Ucrnard
Carl A. Ausmus,
men, in Lhurclis home last lluirs
day alternoon, the confession was
branded by Coroner l'cter M. ilolf
man as a "tissue of lies."
Church made a second confession
tonight to Chief Investigator Den
Newmark of the states attorney s of-
fice involving several other persons
whose names were not made public.
.Church s first confession was made
voluntarily '-in-the presence of two
prominent physicians and a well
known business man brought to the
state attorney s office for that pur
pose. in his coniession. Uiircli says that
he held Daugherty up at. the point
of a gun in the basement of
Church's home, that he handcuffed
him and afterwards tied a cord
around. his neck; that this cord cut
through the flesh. He thcu admit,
ted that he struck Daugherty with
a base ball bat. Ausmus, Church
said, came to the basement in search
of -Daugherty, that he held Ausmus
up in the same manner as Daugh
erty, tied his hands behind his back
and strangled him to death.
Says Statement False.
"Church's statement, is false on the
face of it," Coroner Hoffman de
clared. "It would be physically im
possible for him to have hilled these
two men in the manner he describes.
i Daughcrty's throat was slashed with
a razor or a sharp knife. I he cord
did not cut it; it was slashed clean
through the windpipe. Daughcrty's
jaw was broken on each side, proof
positive of terrible blows which
Church says he did not deliver.
"Ausmus was first strangled with
a rope, then by a piece of cloth shov
ed down his throat. If Church had
pushed that piece of cloth down Aus- reach the precinct from the county
inua' throat in the manner he de- scat one must travel a distance of

Following the confession, State's
Attorney Robert E. Crowe announc
ed that steps would be taken to bring
Church to an immediate trial. He
will be booked on charges of mur
der. Church's confession was witnessed
so that there might be no pleas later
on that the confession was obtained
by force and to dispose likewise of
a possible insanity plea. '.
Church's admission came after
nearly 10 hours of constant question,
ing. And after he had been brought
face to face with the body of Daugh
erty; after he had been taken to the
blood smeared basement of his home
where each step of his crime was
pointed out to him; after he had
kneeled on the spot where he had
buried his second victim in cinders,
coal dust and refuse.
Prisoner "Comes Through."
Thirty minutes after he had been
brought back to the state's attor
ney's office, he "came through.'
The story that he told bared two. of
the most brutal killings ever known
in the crime annals of Chicago.
The crimes, he said, were comr
mined on the spur of the moment.
He had no confederates. His mo
tive was to gain possession of a
$5,400 Packard car, ostensibly pur
chased by him from the Packard
company and which waS in process
of delivery. ' JJack. of the aV.osey to
pay for the. car was the primary
cause of the murders,.. Church de
clared. ' . 1 .' ' '';
Following his jconfession, Church
dropped into a deep sleep. His
aged parents, who since their arrival
here have been secluded in ail office
in the criminal court building, have
not been told of their son's self ad
mitted guilt. The officers believe the
shock will be too great if the news
is brqkeri to them directly. .
."A man I don't know who he
was called me on the telephone 10
days ago! He told me he'd kill my
father and mother and myself if I
didn't get him a big "carl I went to
the Packard company! I bought
the carl" Church said in his confes
sion. '.
