imVN JIAWn, Sept. 22.
Horses' nnd hounds nro vlelnir with
each other today nt the 20th amiunl Ilrytt
Slnwr Horse Show on the polo grounds.
Tho ndvent of canines Into what has been
for years an exclusively equine event,
marks a new tlcpntturo nt Pryn Mnwr
nnd Is being regarded with considerable
Interest by exhibitors. While It Is per
fectly natural for the hnrso nnd hound
to go together, particularly In the huntv
lug class, the effect of this feature nt n
horse show will bo closely watched. If
populaily lecelvcd, naturally It will bo I
continued.
The Is the first time any show espe
cially for box and beagle hounds has
ever been attempted In this country. The I
Hound .-how Committee Included mnsters
of nil the leading hunting packs ln tUc !
united States nnd Canada. The ex
hibition Will compare favorably with
slmllnr contests held annually at Peter
boro. Kntr.
Considerable regret Is felt because
Canadian hunt clubs aro not to exhibit
at the Bryn JIawr show. Tholr non
appearance Is due entirely to the wnr
nnd tho Hrltlth embaigo on the exporta
tion of livestock. The dogs particularly
affected by this embargo were .small grey
hounds under training In England and
which were to bo used In a scries of
whippet races at tho show.
For the horses for the hnrso mini nnm.
Into his own and assume the post of
honor, as has been the time-honored cus
tomtoday's events hold out many Interesting-
fentures, which should evoke
rounds of enthusiastic applause from
gaily dressed spectators In the stand,
paddock nnd about the rail.
A horso which was watched with moie
than UBiinl interest In the llrst clnsa
judged wns Bulla, Emlcn Wood's hunter.
It was thlfl mount which yesterday figured
In tho first xplll of tho show, when a
gioom tumbled from the saddle as Bella
bnlkfd before a fence. She had already
taken two jumps nicely, and her action
nt tho third was unexpected.
SOCIETY OUT IN FORCE.
Society Wfts again out In force at today's
Judging. The same sun smiled warmly
down on tho spectators, nnd the only
cool places about the oval were tent-cov
ered stands. If nnythlng the crowd which
attended the morning session of the show
was larger In comparison to yesterday's
earlv comers.
Tho hunters and Jumpers' class always
brings out a lot of enthusiasts who prefer
the type of animals which for years have
made Bryn Mnwr shows fnmmiR through
out thp land. Watchmald. who took a
blue yesterday, was entered ln the flrnt
class of Jumpers today with Edward B.
McLean's Sir Braxton, which also cap
tured n ribbon. New Yorkers are vastly
Interested In Hohert L. Gerry's Flntrun,
entered In the same class.
The first class of hunters and Jumpers
wns confined to light weight green
hunters nnd naturnlly tho actions of
these equine debutantes was watched
with more than usual Interest.
In the second class hunters and Jump
ers, the pick of Glen Kiddle Farm
stnhles, Vnlley Hill F.irms nnd other
local hreedlng places were entered. A
Hairy IIIgsInson"H rtagtime, which made
a hit jostordny with the crowd, was also
an entrant. This Is u N'ew England
hmse. Mrs. Paul D. Mills had St. Estpch
In this class. Another well behaved ani
mal was Howard II. Henry's Goldle II.
CHILDREN AND TONIES.
Just before lunch the children with
tholi ponies appealed In various classes.
The advent upon the green of little folks
who uro always In high favor with spec
tators, occasioned a round of applause.
The ponies were Judged In harness, under
saddle and Jumping nnd In hand.
Among the ponies entered were
Dainty, Angus nnd Aberdeen under sad
dle, from Broadlawn Farms; Ynlter S.
Hnlllwell's Effle B. and colt shown in
hnnd; Edgar Y. Powell's Oxford Jewel,
and Sequel and Sequence from Broad
lawn Farms. Theso last two were shown
yesterday driven by Gladys H. Eurlo,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George H.
Enrle, Jr.
The hunters and Jumpers shown In
pairs this afternoon will undoubtedly
bring out many enthusiasts. This la al
ways a great feature at horso shown.
Tho ladles' hunters' class to be stfown
late today Is also of considerable In
terest. Among tho animals In the lat
ter class which will he put over Jumps
not exceeding four feet are Willow King
nnd St. Winifred, from Glen Blddln
Farms; F. Ambrose Clark's Sally Com
beo, shown yesterday; Miss Lomoro,
from Broadlawn Farms; three horses
of Robert L. Gerry from New York, and
E. H- McLean's High Ball.
Well-known steeds handled by well
known society folk are to be entered In
the saddle horse and horses in harness
classes. The chargers will be judged
as a concluding feature to today's
show.
Mrs. William J. Clothier, In a dainty
little (lowered frock of pink and whlto
and broad-brimmed white hat, watched
the Judging from the grandstand, when
she was joined by Christian A Hayes.
Mrs. Howard Henry, In a pongee blouse
and linen skirt, motored over during the
morning, and Mrs. R. Penn Smith, In a,
cool white frock, joined her daughter.
Miss Alexander Brown, ou the grand
stand. At U o'clock many left the boxes and
grandstand for the green of the club
house, to witness the opening of the
hound show, while many, fearing to cope
with the Intense heat of tho sun. dis
carded een their boxes for shady and
pintected corners. Children again, en
joying their last outing before school
days, formed a percentage of the spec
tators. Few of the debutantes put In an appear
ance during the morning, the majority at
tending luncueon ana arriving In the early
afternoon.

A desire to emulate the ndventurers ln
moving plctuies cnuscd IS-year-old Wll
llnm Miller to shoot and kill Constable
Henry Kolbe this morning In the pres
ence of passengera nt tho Reading Rail
way station, Doylestown.
Miller, who Is known ns "Broncho
BHIv." on account of his ability to
quickly draw a revolver, was nnested
by Kolbe Just ns he wns preparing to
lenve the town with a new suitcase.
The man know there wns a warrant
for his nrrest on the chnrgn of forging
a check In the name of Nell Stellwngon,
n coat denier, for $75. LnBt night, nc
cordlng to the police, he told friends he
expected to be arrested and declared that
no ono would bring him to Jail. He
bought n suitcase nnd packed It with
things that would come in handy on the
plains and the great desert, and then
went with a spirit of bravado to the
railroad station. He was neatly dresBed
and chatted pleasantly with somo of his
friends.
While he was talking Kolbe, who knew
Miller personally, alrlvea and grettcd him
cordially. Then he took the man nsldo
nnd told him confidentially thnt he had
a warrnnt for his nrrest.
Miller then stepped away from the con
stable and drawing his revolver, "Broncho
Billy" style, fired one shot through
Koine's heart. The constable fell dend
to the platform. Most of the frightened
pnssengcrs ran Into the station. Two men
pounced upon' Miller, but he told them to
keep cool. Then ho handed them his re
volver and walked with his captors to
the pollco station. Miller snld he drew
the revolver to frighten Kolbe.
The man who fired the shot Is the pro
prietor of n moving plcturo theatre In
Doylcstown, but lately business has been
very poor. This Is due, the residents say,
to tho fact that Miller would offer noth
ing but Western dramas. The decrease
In business, it Ih said, made Miller des
perate nnd caused him to forge the check
on the coal dealer.

PARIS, Sept. 22.
Widespread rejoicing was caused In
Paris todny by reports indicating that
the famous cathedral at Rhelms had
escaped Irreparable destruction under
tho German bombardment of the town
and can be restored, though seriously
damaged.
The magnificent windows are all
smashed, nccording to officers who ar
rived from tho front, and ruin has been
spread in tho Interior by bursting shells,
but the walls stand unbroken, though
scarred In many places.
Among the superstitious hope of ulti
mate French victory In the war Is In
ci cased by tho fact that the statue of
Jean of Arc, which stands before the
facade, escaped serious damage.
LONDON, Sept. 22.
That there Is an Intention on the part
of the German military experts to en
deavor to raze the entire city of Rhelms
Is believed here. It la claimed the Gen
eral Staff now realises the great strategic
mistake made when the Germans with
drew from that city, nnd 'that they nre
willing to go to any Ungth to retake It.
In describing the condition"! In Rhelms,
tho Dally Telegraph corespondent says
thnt thero Is hardly a house In the neigh
borhood of tho cathedral that escaped
damage. Continuing, he says:
The masonry of the cathedral Is
chipped nnd many of the carved fig
urea nnd gargoyles have been broken
off. In the doorway still stands the
crippled beggar crippled In 1ST0 who
has remained at his post through a
rain of flying spllnt-is and dust,
pebbles and glass. Fifty shells found
lodgment In the Interior, but tho stone
work withstood tho concussion of their
explosion.
The building cin probably bo restored,
nccording to this correspondent, as the
shell fire seems no longer to be dlrocted
toward It, but, of course. Its priceless
decorations arc ruined for nil time.
ROME. Sept. 22 (By way of Paris).
When informed of the destruction of
the Cathedral of Rhelms. Pope Benedict
XV said he "could not believe it possible
In such a civilized epoch ns tho 20th
contury to bo plunged back to the time
of Attlla."
The Pontiff requested that Cardinal
Forrnta ask Cardinal Amette, Archbishop
of Paris, for full particulars, as tele
grams for Rhcims are not accepted.

ABRAHAM TANDLER
Death brought on b) an attack of
acute Indigestion came to Abraham
Tandler, a retired manufacturer, In his
home ut thc Brantwond, after four daja'
lllr.tes. t Mi. Tundler had been Interested
lu the manufacture of knitted goods for
many jenrs. He retlied ten years ago.
For many ears ho had been a member
of the Congregation Keneseth Israel. Ills
widow turvhed
The commercial romance of Israel
Dlnmond, of 19th and Mifflin streets,
which stnrted lost January In New
York, ended todny at City Hall, where
the man wns Identllied by Dora Wolf
ns her sister Anna's fiance, and accused
of stealing diamonds valued at $1200
from her father. The prisoner Is also
charged with stealing $300 worth of dia
monds from Benjamin Shapiro, of S76
North Sixth street.
Miss Wolf stated that her sister met
Diamond about a year ago, when he pur
ported to bo a single mnn. She stated,
however, thnt Diamond is married. He
said he wns a rabbi and that previous
to coming to New York he had lived In
Beaumont, Tex. He was very attentive
to Miss Anna Wolf, and they were soon
engaged to be married. The date of the
wedding was fixed for last January.
Just before, the ceremony was to take
place, according to Miss Dora Wolf's
story. Diamond excused himself to take
a nap for half an hour, and went up
stairs in the Wolf home. That was the
last the family saw of him.
Wehn the girl's father went to look
for the prospective brldesroom he found
three dlnmond rings valued at $12) had
disappeared and that he was not to have
a son-in-law that dny. Mr. Wolf, who
Is a diamond merchant, hastily went
through the contents of his safe, the
combination of which was known to
Diamond, and found the thief had over
looked JIO.OOO In precious stones kept, ln
nnother compartment from the three
rincs.
When Miss Wolf arrived hero this
morning she went at once to visit Dia
mond In his cell nnd asked him to rvo
her either the three, rings or the pawn
tickets for them. The prisoner had In
his possession only one pawn ticket
which he gave to Miss Wolf saying that
ho had sold the other two. The ticket
called for f 150.
Because of the Shapiro robbery, a year
ago, detectives have been feenrchlng for
Diamond. They have kept a dlose watch
on the mall received by Mrs. Diamond
and yesterday when, with her little son.
she set out for Newnrk. N. J.. In responso
to a letter from that place. Detective
Doyle followed her nnd made the arrest
short!;, after the pair met. There was
a pathetic scene as Diamond was led
nvtitv. his wife weeping and protesting
his Innocence
Aftei his trial for the robbery here in
Philadelphia. Diamond will be turned
oer to the New York authorities for
trial In the Wolf case.

A graphic description of the bombard
ment of the cathedral was given to a
correspondent by Thomas Slldell, a New
York lawyer, who said:
On Saturday shrapnel began to
smash through the cathedral win
dows about noon, and four nuns nnd
three prisoners were killed. About ir.0
Oermnns werp closely packed inside.
They were wounded by their own
shells.
When I left, the great rose window
over the main entrance wns not much
damaged, but all the wonderful 13th
century glass on both sides was
ruined. The statue of tho Virgin was
. broken In two. while that of Joan of
Arc, Just outside, still stood, though
Its pedestal was smashed. The noise
of tho exploding shells was like a
thunderstorm.
The attitude of tho French In the mat
ter of reprisals Is expressed by Oustave
Horvo. the Socialist leader:
When we nre before Cologne with
our 75-mllIlmetre guns, our soldiers
will not need the reminder that Co
logne contains one of the seven won
ders of the world, which must not be
touched,
And at Munich, Dresden and Ber
lin a guard of honor must be placed
before every library, museum and
art gallery. We would not send
Rin.iienece.i or German art to Lou
vnln to replace those destroyed
there, but would rebuild her uni
versity out of funds contributed by
every country but Germany, and
stock It with treasures from ,-,
land but Germany, nnd found k
chair of international law to be filled
by n BelRlan or Hngllsh Jurist, who
would each year deliver lectures on
International law and respect for
treaty rights.
The Paris pres editorially calls for
the same conservation of art treasures
If tho Allies enter Germany,
TELLING THE TRUTH
"Before I agree to undertake your de
fense." said the eminent criminal law
yer In America, "you will have to tell me
the whole truth. Did you embezzle the
JlOO.Ooil you nre accused of having taken?"
"Yes, sir," replied tho accused man.
"I'll not attempt to conceal the fact from
you. I stole every cent of It."
"How much of It have you still?"
"It's all gone hut about a couple of
dollars."
"Young man," sitd the eminent lawyer,
buttoning his coat about him and putting
on his gloves, "you'd better plead guilty
and throw yourself on the mercy of the
court."
"I'll do it if (ou a so. sir. What are
jou going to charge me for the advice?"

Adolph Segal Is now ft private patient
In tho State Hospital for the Insane at
Norristown. He was admitted to th
institution nt 6 o'clock yesterday after
noon to spend the year, or less, that hl
physician says remains of his life. Th
trip was made by automobile from St.
Joseph's Hospital, where, Mr. Segal had
been virtually a prisoner since his bank
ruptcy proceedings, a little more than
two months ago, furnished the cllmaa
to the collapse of his once brilliant mlnd
Segal did not know that he was belne
taken to spend his last days ln a haven
for tho Insane. He has been feverlshlr
anxious to get back to business, ln hl
few, brief lucid intervals. Ho does not
know that his physician has said hi can
not live more than a year and may not
live more than two months. When ha
slipped from the hospital by a rear door
end climbed Into the waiting automobile)
he thought he was being taken for a rlda
for no other reason than to benefit his
health.
Dr. S. F. Miller, chief resident physician
at the Norristown Institution, said this
morning that Mr. Segal had been ad
mitted. The mental condltlton of tha
former financier he would not discuss.
He declared that Mr. Segal Is a private,
patient. The rules of the hospital for
bid giving out Information about Mich
patients except to relatives or others
entitled to know.
t'nless his creditors take action, Segal
will noxer leave the Stata Hospital alive.
The Federal Court has the authority to
subpoena him from the asylum ln his
bankruptcy proceedings, according to tha
attorney for thc trustee, but it Is not con
sidered probable that such action will bo
taken if proof of Segal'a Insanity Is ad

Mellors, tho referee In bankruptcy.
Abraham S. Ashbrldgc. attorney for Mr.
Segal, savs he knows nothing of the men
tal condition of his client. He declares,
however, that he Intends to find out. Ho
declined to discuss the affairs of Segal or
to make ani statement on the bankruptcy
proceedings.

flghtlns -was there a dull moment, and th
men fought head to head from bell to bell.
There was absolutely no science In the bout.
a both depended upon their strength and
were trying for a knockout at all timet. It
would have been hard to have given a decis
ion at the flnlali of the contest. In tho seml-wind-up,
Freddy Kelly, of Tioga, won a hard
bout from Johnny Krause. of Nlcetown. Th
bout was slow until the third round, when
Kelly npurted and won. Johnnv Mayo had a.
shmle on Youns Fulton, of New York, al
