WOMAN MURDERED
IN NEW YORK FLAT;
MAN FOUND SLAIN
Janitor Is Arrested on Sus
picion After Leading Po
lice a Chase Says He
Hid From Wife.
NEW YORK, Jan. 27. Miss Marlon
Franklin, a stenographer of Wllkes
Barro, Pa., and a man believed to be
John Christopher, an engineer, were
beaten to death with a hammer in an
apartment 'nouse at 115 East 111th street.
The police arrested Joseph Krlegleer,
Janitor of the apartment, on suspicion.
He denied knowing anything of the
murders.
Miss Franklin had been in this city
for three months and lived with the
Krleglegers. A birthday party was ar
ranged In honor of Miss Franklin's 30th
birthday anniversary, and this party
ended with the murders.
Tho body of Miss Franklin, fully
clothed, was found on the floor of a bed
room. Nearby was a blood-stained ham
mer and hatchet. The man's body was
found in tho basement near the furnace.
The police believe that It was tho mur
derer's Intention to burn Christopher's
body, but that he was frightened away
before he could hide the evidences of his
crime. The man's body was found in an
ash pit in front of the furnace. In a
corner was a heavy iron shaker used in
the furnace. Blows had been struck with
it.
Mrs. Krlegleger came out of the house
early this morning and said to Policeman
King, according to tho bluecoat:
"My husband beat up a woman in my
apartment. You'd better call an, ambu
lance. I think you'd better come down
stairs first and look at a man there."
Since then the woman has been unable
to make any coherent statement,
Krlegleger, when caught after a pur
suit iin which shots were flred. Bald he
had been hiding from his wife. Mrs.
Krlegleger, the police say, said she had
applied peroxide to the woman's wounds.
The man and woman had been dead
many hours. Mrs. Krlegleger said she
"must have fallen asleep," when asked
to explain.
In the dead man's pocket was found a
letter written to him by Miss Franklin.
It reads:
I must see you alone. I tried to get .
you on the telephone, but could not.
She was terribly beaten up, He has
the heart and soul scared out of her,
Something must be done. I think there
is a way to help her, and I will do all
I can.
Though the letter was unintelligible in
the main, the police believe that it re
ferred to the relations between Krleg
leger and his wife. She Is said to have
been often beaten by her husband.
Christopher, the male victim of the
double murder, was a resident of the
Union Course Section of Queens, where
he was active In the Ladies and Knights
-Of Honor and other organizations. He
was married and had five children. It
was stated by one of his sons today that
Christopher had recently been working
tn New York and nothing was thought
of his failure to arrive home last night.

coherently when arraigned for a hear

walked through tho street. He thrust his
fist through the plate glass window of
the front door nt tho house of Mr. Moss
nnd "raged through tho house," accord
ing to Mr. Moss, to tho fourth floor.
"I think it Is an outrage," said Mr.
Moss. In describing the occurrence, "thnt
Director Porter can't pay more attention
to his policemen. If ho'd do this nnd
pay less attention to politics It would bo
a good thing. It is nn outrage.
"Two other persons, neighbors of mine,
telephoned to tho police, but It took be
tween 15 nnd 20 minutes for them to get
here, and In the meantime the fellow was
raging through the house.
"He smashed un thlnes ami leff n.ii.

be a good thing If they'd stop filling up
their columns with that slush and print
news, I'm sick of It.
"It's a pity this street can't have police
protection, and I'm going to write a
letter about it."
Mr. Moss then wanted to know if Mc
Cnskey was a white or a Negro. On
being assured the man was white, he con

It Is behoved tho walk-out will spead
along tho entire water-front. A largo
fleet of vessels would be tied up should
this happen. At present about 10,000 men

the Scandlnnvlan-Amerlcan Lino steam
ship California, at Pier 23, North.
WAR BROUGHT ON TROUBLE.
Ever since ocean rates have begun
soaring, the longshoremen have been
dissatisfied. While the scarcity of ves
sels has worked to the advantage of the
steamship ownern. It has been disad
vantageous to the longshoremen. In
stead of regular employment, many of
them have had on the average of but
two days a week work for the past sev
eral months.
At present the men are paid 30 cents
nn hour. This was received as a result
of tho strike two years ago. They now
demand an Increaso of 10 cents an hour.
The men employed as grain levelers are
asking more. They claim their work Is
exceedingly dangerous and exacting.
They base their right to nn increase on
the rate being paid per bushel for grain
transportation on the steamship Kather
Ine, This rate of 31 cents a bushel Is
the highest for a similar Bhipment in the
history of shipping. Under normal con
ditions, the rate is about eight cents a
bushel.

"Devil Playa in Backyard Whifo
You Sit in Pow," Ho Shouts,"
Urging Charity to All.
"Tou sit in your fine homes and see
the town going to hell without raising
a finger to save It" These cutting words
wero only a few of tho caustic remarks
"Billy" Sunday hurled nt Indifferent,
church members during his sermon in the
tabernacle this afternoon. Ho was preach
ing on "Pcrsonnl Work" for the third
tlmo since ho came here, and never here
tofore hns ho boon more severe In his
criticism of those who "sit still In their
pews whllo the devil plays in the back
yard."
He urged nctivlty, enthusiasm nnd sin
cerity In tho lives of church members, .
"You need courage," he said. "It's hard
to do personal work, and you enn always
count on It that the old devil will be
around the corner trying to head you off
every tlmo you drive a spike home for
Christ's church.
"It will surprise you to see many per
sons lie to get out of personal worjc
That's the devil In them that makes thera
try to evade helping us. It's a shame so
many persons who want to shine tn buspi
ncss, In piofesslonal life and In society'
nre In hiding when they are called upon
to do something for Jesus Christ
NEED OF ENTHUSIA8SI.I
"You'll never accomplish anything"
worth while for God without enthusi
asm," he shouted. "Formality! Is chok
ing religion to death. You want to get
awake, get allvo for Christ and to keep
your friends out of hell."
"When a man knocks a base hit nnd
drive homo a winning run and breaks
tho tie score, you yell like a Comanche
inuian anu carry the hero from the field
on your shoulders. But when a prodigal
sen makes a base hit for God and j
nomo run from the hogpen of hell to
heaven wo put him In the Ice Lox. It's so
foolish. Drop-your dignity nnd be true."
Again Sunday asked all to help make
Philadelphia a better city. He declared
the tabernacle (was erected to ma)to the
city purer, soberer and more moral, and
insisted thatT'it Is going to' -do this U
Christians will come out for the cam
paign and help to boost it
"After you do your best you'll feei
like doing better. I always do, I always
want to preach a better sermon, than I
have after I stop talking, God expects
ou to get busy. The man who lives for
himself alone will have the privilege of
being mouiner, and perhaps Bote
mourner, at his own funeral."
He urged Christians to be sympathetic:
not with tho sins ot the non-Christian,
but with the Individuals.
"God hates sin and the devil," he said.
"He will not compromise. Have sym
pathy with tho girl who Bins, but not with
the sin that ruined her. Get down on the
ground where the others are and help
lift them up. You're not much of a
Christian yourself if you sit up on a
pedestal and consider yourself above
everybody else and watch men and women
go to hell."
A delegation of clergymen from New
ark, N. J was present In the tabernacle
this afternoon. The visitors urged Mr.
Sunday to conduct a campaign, In their
city within the next 12 months. They ore
to meet the evangelist for a conference
this evening.
The Rev. George G. Vogel, a district
superintendent for the Methodist Episco
pal Church, heads the delegation.
Officials of the Sunday Campaign Com
mittee, following an Investigation of the
excitement In the tabernacle lost night
when several thousand persons caused a
disturbance when they wero unable to
get to their seats, said today reports ot
the excitement had been exaggerated. The
matter was discussed at a meeting of the
officials in the campaign headquarters
this morning.
The excitement developed when per
sons holding tickets were admitted to
the special entrances on 19th street and
then preented from going to their seats.
Doors IS and 19 are set aside for the
admission of persons having tickets for
party reservations.
The police and ushers were unable to
control the crowd clamoring for seats,
and it was only after the women began
to faint and their screams caused the
