Tegucigalpa, Honduras, April 29.— A week of Imprisonment without a change of linen or the toilet aids so dear to the feminine heart, a week of worry and sparring with the authorities of a strange country has wrought a change in “Mrs. Jesse t'arsen," the woman under arrest here on suspicion of being Clara Phillips, the hammer murderess’’ of Hos An geles. Her sullen defiance and seeming nonchalance are disappearing. To day she almost admitted she is Clara Phillips. All this week, cooped up in a bare loom above police headquarters, whose windows looked down on sun baked streets and the drowsy life of this Spanish-American town, “Mrs. .!esse Cat-sen” has had only silence or contemptuous disregard for those who sought to question her. (*Today she appeared almost eager to talk. This was especially marked during n visit paid her by John Ewing, former American minister to Honduras, and now one of the few Americans resi dent here. Ewing is confident “Mrs. A'arsen" is Mrs. Phillips. Knows About Clara Phillips. Why don't you admit your idem t ty?" Ewing asked. "Not yet, not yet,” was her reply. "Many things may happen between now and the time I am forced to go back to Los Angeles. You may tell the W'orld I deny I am Clara Phillips and that it is for the smart detec tives who trailed me here to prove that I am. If I am dragged back there I will tell some things which some people in authority there may not wish to have exposed. "I know about Clara Phillips. 1 probably know more about her than anyone else in the world.” Ewing confronted her with some newspaper pictures which bore strik ing resemblance to herself. She looked at them curiously and then shrugged her shoulders. "You may draw your own conclu sions,” was all she said. Given Fresh Clothes. Liter she was allowed to get some fresh clothing and cosmetics from her baggage. She had brightened up considerably when F. Egan, clerk of the American consulate here, officially questioned her, together with her companion, "Mrs. R. M. Y'oung.” Egan informed both the women that if one of them w'ould admit to being Airs. Phillips the other would he re leased. They looked at each other. "No," said Mrs. Carsen shortly. "No,” said Mrs. Young. The chief concern of "Mrs. Carsen” today was over getting a lawyer here. She will tight extradition to the last ditch, she said, despite the fact her supposed husband. Jesse Carsen, also held here, has indicated he will waive extradition and go back to Los An geles to face an arson charge.

By l niversal Service. New York, April 29.—Virginia Law son, 10, Brooklyn, wanted to be an actress so much that she learned by heart the entire leading feminine role of a current Broadway production, just hy hearing the play over and over. She was rewarded by Morris Ciest, producer, with a contract star ring her eight years from now in a part specially written for her. It was the first time in theatrical history that the announcement of a new star was made so long bofcre her actual debut. The fact that the con tract is a long-time gamble on totally undeveloped talent is also unique. It happened this way: Virginia and her mother, Mrs. Cath erine Lawson, attended the matinee every Saturday for six or seven weeks. Virginia was enraptured with the play—all eyes and ears. The manager of the house noticed the beautiful blonde child and her eagerness and he finally interviewed her. "Why, I kn<5w every bit of tiie i part,” she told him. "I learned it by I just listening. Want to hear it ?” So the manager called together the istar and the producer and had Vir ginia “speak her piece.” ''The child is remarkable,” declared Mr. Oest. "How did you happen to do It, Virginia?” “I want to be a big actress some day,” she replied modestly, blue eyes aglow. Then Mr. Oest drew up the con tract and It didn't take the ambitious lass many minutes to sign on the dotted line. "Her's is true talent.” he said. "It is evident that Virginia will one day be well known on Broadway.” So far. the child has had no dra matic training. But she seems to have inherited histrionic ability from her mother, who once did musical comedy. Between now and the time the girl will star for Mr. Oest she will he given tho best possible dramatic In struction, completing her education abroad. All at the behest of the producer. : Burgess Bedtime Stories Mr. Blacksnake Decides to (jive Ip. Wise Is he who In defeat Knows when and how best to retreat. —Mr. Blacksnake. Mr. Blacksnake. coiled around a branch just above the entrance to the new home of Drummer the Wood neckcr, made himself as comfortable as he could, and prepared to wait. He felt sure that when Drummer and Mrs. Drtimtper returned he would be able to catch one or tne other. "Ib will never enter their heads to suspect danger right at the door way of their home.” thought Mr. Blacksnake. "Never in the wide world will they think of me.

He had for gotten that he might be seen r>y sharp eyes that might chance to come that way. So he was both surprised and very much upset when suddenly Sammy Jay began shrieking at the top of his voice, “Snake! Snak"' Snake!'' Sammy was in that very tree above his head, and it seemed as :f he couldn't keep still a minute. The fact Is, he was too excited to keep still. He kept Hying from branch to branch above Mr. Blacksnake and well out of his reach, all the time shrieking as only Sammy can. Of course, other birds came hurry ing over to find out what Sammy was so excited about, and the instant they saw Mr. Blacksnake they, too, began making a great racket. How Mr. Blacksnake did wish one of them would come within reach! But pone did. All were too smart for that. Mr. Blacksnake became so angry he could hardly contain himself. He knew that if those Woodpeckers should come now, and with all the racket go ing on they would he pretty sure to come, they would see him at once and keep out of his reach The last thing in the world Mr. Blacksnake desires is attention from others, lie prefer* to go aliout his business un , seen. So after darting his head at sev ; eral of his tormentors he decided that that was no place for him, anil 'uncoiling started down that tree. As soon- as he reached the ground he gilded away.

Presently he slipped (in under some brush and disappeared. The birds hung around a while, but Mr. Blacksnake didn't even put his | head out. Now as a rule out of sight is out of mind with Sammy Jay and his feathered friends, so It wasn't j long before they had all scattered to ! attend to their own affairs.
