Baltimore, Md., Aug. 25.—Solomon
J. Rosenbloom, whose body was foun!
in a trunk at Bellmawr, near Camder,
N. J.. Sunday, Aug. 16, was murdere! !
by his son, Alexander, during a quar |
rel at Rosenbloom’s store at Windber,
Pa., on Nov. 12 last year.
This much was made known through
a confession made by Mrs. Bonnie
Rosenbloom, widow of the murdered
man, who, with her daughter, Eva,
was arrested by the police of Balti
more, in which city they have be:.
living for five weeks.
Mrs. Rosenbloom, who 1s fifty-seven
years old, and her daughter, who i
sixteen, were arrested at thelr
home, 1526 East Baltimore street
Mrs. Rosenbloom and her daugh-
ter had lived in the house sinc:
July 14 last, having gone to Baltimore
from Windber, the scene of the mur-
der, because one of the sons of the
family, Harry Rosenbloom, had em-
ployment there.
For nearly an hour Mrs. Rosenbloom
and her daughter were “sweated” by
Detective Captain Pumphrey. At first
Mrs. Rosenbloom said that she knew
|
nothing of her husband, beyond the
fact that he had disappeared from
their home and store in Windber on
Nov. 12 last, after having a quarrel
with herself and her two children, Eva
and Alexander,
Then Eva Rosenbloom was closely
questioned, and, becoming nervous
broke down and told the detectives
enough to make them still more close.
ly question the mother. Finally Mrs.
Rosenbloom also broke down an!!
made a statement, the substance o!
which was disclosed by the detectives
Mrs. Rosenbloom said on the night
of the murder that her husband quar |
reled with her and with her son ani|
daughter.
She and her daughter, she said, wen
upstairs to their room. They hear!
loud words in the store beneath. In
the morning when they came down
stairs her husband was not there.
They as'ed her son, Alexander
where his father was. He replied that
he had “gone away.”
Later Mrs. Rosenbloom said her son
sal! to her:
*! have killed father becanse h
quarreled with all of us and beat you
and Eva.”
Mrs Rosenbloom said that she did
not know of her son concealing tie
body of his father in the trunk, an
that neither she nor her daughter evi
asked him any questions. They sid
trunks in the store, she said, and she
supposed that the son placed the body
in one of the trunks, and carried the
trunk and body into the stable in th:
rear of the store, where he kept it un
til he was ready to take it away. 1
Mrs. Rosenbloom said that she did]
not know of her son's whereabouts,
and that he went away a few days
after Nov. 12,
May Offer Reward For Murderer.
Jolinstown, Pa., Aug. 25.—Distric
Attorney John Lewis, of Somerzet
county, has asked the county commi--
sioners to offer a reward of $1000 for
the arrest of Alexander Rosenbioo:
who ig now charged with the murd |
of his father at Windber, Pa. Wa:
rants were issued for the arrest of A!

German Envoy Cancer Victim.
Berlin, Aug. 25. — Freiherr Speck
von Sternburg, German ambassador ‘o
the United States, died at Heidelbe =
following an operation for cancer, pe:
formed by Professor Czerny.
The news of Baron von Sternburz’
death was a distinct shock. He wa:
fifty-six years old and was born i>
Leeds, England. He was marrie! in
London to Lillian May Langham. 2
famous beauty of Louisville, Ky. an’
his wife was known as one of the ms!
gracious hostesses and entertainers
in the German diplomatic corps.
The only word of criticism made
against Baron von Sternburg in tho
conduct of his Washington post wa:
that his unusual friendship for Pres!
dent Roosevelt and his constant wisr
to please the latter often resulted in
a sacrifice of German interests.
Nearly Boils Baby During Its Bath.
Wilkes-Barre, Pa., Aug. 25.—Placin:
a boiler of water, containing her bab.
on a hot stove, in order to raise th
water to the proper temperature fo:
a bath, Mrs. Adams Gerhovitz, of Ma!
by, nearly boiled the infant to death
“The baby probably will die. The m»
ther found the water too cold, and
thoughtlessly put the boiler on th
stove without removing the baby. Ther
she was called out of the room for a
few minutes, and returned to find th:
water very hot and the child badly
scalded.
Agreed With the Lecturer.
During a lecture at one of the schools
on the subject of “Ventilation and Ar-
chitecture,” the temperature of the.
room rose to a very high pitch.
“And now we will turn to Greece,”
said the lecturer,
“8o we will,” said one of the audl-
ence, wiping his brow, “unless you
open some of the windows.”—Path-

Half of the Pleasure.
The youngest girl of a Baltimore
family was recently much distressed
at dessert to discover that there was
! ice cream for dinner.
“Oh, papa,” exclaimed the young-
ster reproachfully, “why didn't they
tell me this morning that we were go-
ing to have ice cream?”
“What difference would that have
made?”
“Lots!” sighed the child. “I could
have expected it all day.” —Lippincott’s
