POLICE BAFFLED
BY MURDER OF
OHIO PHYSICIAN
Dr. Harry Lorenzo Chapin Is
Killed by Unknown Assail- .
ant in Room of Cleve
land Hotel.
Cleveland, O., Nov. 9. The mys
tery surrounding the murder of Dr.
Harry Lorenzo Chapin, physician,
author and traveler, by an unidenti
fied assailant in a room at a down
town hfitel last night, remained un
solved today, although order! were
issued 'from police headquarters for
the arrest of a man who was known
to have been in Cleveland yesterday.
The skull was fractured by a blow
on the back of the head, and. ac
cording to Coroner Byrne, the fact
that the skin was not cut suggest
that the doctor was struck from be
hind with a heavy weapon, probably
a section .of lead pipe or a paper
weight wrapped in, a handkerchief.
Mrs. Chapitu the widow, told po
lice that her husband went to the
hotel yesterday afternoon to meet a
man who recently cime from Chi
cago, with whom he had had busi
ness dealings in the past .
Shreds of paper found on the floor
of the room gave the'police clues be
lieved to suggest a possible motive
for the crime. . .
Some of the scraps, pieced to
gether, were found to relate to an
express package shipped to Cleve
land, by a man in Chicago and which,
the police believe, was to be deliv
ered to Dr. Ckapin on payment of
$100. Police investigation developed
that Dr. Chapin within the wetk had
withdrawn $100 from a bank. On
the pieced-togtthtr scraps of paper
the police discovered the name of a
man for whom search immediately
was1 instituted. ' ,
Dr. Chapin, known to a wide circle
oMrienda as the "blind doctor," was
47 years old and had , spent the
greater part of his manhood in travel.
It All Depends on
How You Read It
Martha Powell and Bell Ryan,
president and secretary, respective
ly, of the Nebraska State Teachers'
association, believe an indignation
meeting should be held.
At the Union depot is a sign
which reads: "Welcome, state
teachers. BEWARE OP PICK
POCKETS AND THIEVES."
Misses Powell and Ryan, after
conferring with several authorities,
agreed that the underlined warning
wai ambiguous as to whether it was
directed to those who might read
the sign, or to the teachers themselves.
He had been blinded by the glare of
the desert sands when, shortly after
leaving college, he visited the ruins
of Babylon, in Mesopotamia, and
neglected to wear a turban or dark
glasses.
Later an operation restored his
sight and he was able to find his way
about without assistance. He had
written several books and was the
author of a number of photoplay
scenarios.
Strangely, "Twilight and Death" is
the theme of one of the ooems fea
tured in his last published work. This
poem, entitled "The Soul of the Sun,"
contains such seemingly prophetic
stanza as these;
thi Anrelus ringing reminds me
That th evening or life in at hand;
D'nth takes ma awar ai ha finds ma.
TIma loaned I am to par on demand;
Oh, death's like tha aun In Its sinking;
W live, hut to duet we have a-one.
Of tha cup of life we're through drinking,
Than the sun-setting aoul must pasa on.
When Dr. Chapin left his hotel yes
terday he told his wife, she stated to
the police, that he was going to an
other hotel to keep an appointment.
Attendants at the latter hotel heard
two men excitedly discussing business
affairs in ft room on the third floor.
Late in the afternoon an inspector
at the hotel discovered a. man lying
midway between two windows in the
room, with blood streaming from his
head.
The room clerk at the hotel told
the police that he resigtered a stranger
at 8 o'clock yesterday morning and as
signed him to the room in which Dr.
Chapin was killed. The visitor carried
a small black grin and signed his name
and city in an almost illegible scrawl.
Police believe both name and city to
be fictitious.

s
Camp Funston, Kan., Nov. 9. Many
of the national army men in training
here arc obtaining an education in
other than military subjects and prov
ing that posters hung in' postoffices
which urge young men to "join the
army and receive a liberal education"
were making promises which are to
be realized. Night classes are being
conducted here for the benefit of any
men desiring to improve their educa
tion, and, as nearly' every man aspires
to be an officer, the classes are popu
lar. -
Elementary subjects, such as read
ing, writing, arithmetic and spelling,
have attracted the most students, but
small groups of students all through
the camp are studying such topics as
telegraphy, wireless telegraphy and
salesmanship, while prospective can
didates for artillery commissions are
plugging on' mathematics all the way
up into Calculus. Aside from the
elementary classes, the French classes
are the largest with an estimated total
of 900 enlisted officers and men
studying to greet their brothers in
arms in their own tongue.
G. C. Dot ur, former principal of
the Lyons (Kan.) High school, and
prior to that connected with the
University of .Kansas, is divisional
educational secretary, working under
the auspices of the Yung Men'a
Christian association. Many of the
classes are taught by men who were
teachers in civil life.
A class for "seamstresses" has been
opened by Captain Ingram D. Hook,
a former Kansas City lawyer, who
pities the men in his company be
cause of the difficulties they encoun
tered irt simple jobs of sewing and
patching. He undertook to teath
them how to sew on buttons and
patches and the class made fine
progress, but some of the men finally
asked for instruction in knitting. Cap
tain Hook's "degree" did not cover
that subject and no knitting class has
so far been formed.
