JUDGE'S TRAGIC DEATH
REDOUBLES MYSTERY
IN ONCE QUIET REGION
Providence, R. I., Amazed by Its
Sudden Transformation From
Staid Cottage Town to
"Murdpr City"
TRAGEDY BAFFLES POLICE
PnoVIDKNCn. R I. Sept. 7 From a
atnld old cottage town, where a runnwoy
was on event, thin city has become Now
Lnglands "mutder city." Two murders
Hint of Dr C Frunklln Mohr, physician
to New port nnd Rhode Island society, nnd
of Judge Willis Knowles, of the nighth
District Court, both prominent-have
nindo tho city and surrounding country
n seething mass of theories, gossip and
mjstcry Neither of the killings is
clrnred ud.
Tcdav the city Is oerrun with strong
era detectives mostly. The murders, nnd
thu possible apprehension of the slayers,
aro tho sole topics of conversation.
The mjstery surrounding the shooting
of Judge Knowles yesterday In front of
his summer home In daylight was as
complete today nB It was n. few hours
after ho was killed All tho police knew
all anybody knew was that three shots
suddenly rang out, a voice shouted
"Now, 1'vo got you, jou ," nnd the
Judge fell dead with two bullets In his
back and ono In his Jaw
The local police, confronted with two
baflllng murdcra, were going round In cir
cles todn. Two nriests were made after
the Knowles killing, but thoy were two
Italian's and were almost Immediately ex
onerated. Of one thing there seemed no doubt
that the Judge was killed by some per
son whom he hnd punished. He was noted
for his rigorous methods In dealing with
criminals, and threats hnd frequently
been made ogali st his life. He alwas
went nrmed when he walked or rode In
the country
There wero ugl rumors nfloat today
that the illegal liquor selling Interests
were behind the killing. It wns pointed
out that Judge Knowles was one of tho
stanchest prosecutors of "bootleggers."
Tomorrow there were to have been ttlals
of liquor cases In his court.
Harry Rodwcll, a former clerk of Judge
Knowles and one of his closest confidants,
could throw little light on tho mastery
today.
"I do know, however," he said, "that
Judge Knowles was disturbed by storlett
thnt had como to him concerning peoplo
who had suffered from some of his decl
rlons particular!) the liquor ones,"
One of the most perplexing phasee of
the mjstery Is the rapidity with which
the slajer made his escape. The Judge
was shot so close to his home that hl
housekeeper for he was n bachelor
heard each of the shots and the voice.
Vet, by the time she had run to the scene
only a few hundred feet there wasn't a
person In sight and she heard no one
running nway.
CALL FOR PRETTY GIRLS
LOUD AND INSISTENT
Theatre Manager Urgent
Demand, But Doubtful as
to Results
in
Has Philadelphia lost It reputation for
having the prettiest glrla In the country7
Manager McSween, of the Chestnut Street
Opera House .thinks so. 'For the last two
weeks he ha b$en advertising for six
pretty ushers, and It was specified that
their figures must be in keeping with
their looks, as they would be obliged to
wear short silk pants or knickerbockers
while performing tho work of directing
patron to tlielt seats.
Fully 300 girls, who thought they wero
pretty, applied for the Job today. Some
came from Haverford avenue, other from
Manayunk, some from Oermantown and
many from Kensington, but there were
defects In nearly all. The applicants were
seated In the theatre and the spotlight
was turned on each. They smiled back
confidently and had vision of Immediate
jobs, but the Inspection ,nded gloomily,
Fluall), Hi despair, Mr. McSwten se
lected eight of the best of the bud ones
and took tneir names, He may be com
pelled to take six of the eight a a laat
resort.
"I thought this city boasted of It pretty
girls," hu said. "Perhaps many of them
are engaged and others are married. Real
pretty one probably prefer other kind of
work. '
It la possible that another crop of
peaches expected tomorrow will pan out
better, but Mr McSween Is skeptical
So If there'a a pretty girl out of work
he can go up tomorrow and be the tar
usher of the aggregation All will have
to tell their age without hesitancy, a
the new law provides that no girl shall
work late at night unless she I :i year
old.

game nnd brought the eoore to five nil.

Upon returning to tho court, Johnson,
on his service, forced McLoughlln to
place four returns out of court, lie con
stantly outmaneuvered McLoughlln, nnd
but for a few breaks would have taken
tho second game as well. Several well
directed returns went out by but a few

JohnMon drew level again b breaking

with a victory In the ninth he regained
the lead. Johnston wns within n point
of tho match nt advantage In tho 10th
game, and after a fiercely waged bat
tle McLoughlln pulled It out of the fire.
Johnston won his service, but failed to
break through again, nnd It was G all
Upon winning the 13th game to 15, on a
beautiful combination of cross-court shots
and volleys, he was ngaln within a game
of the title at 7 to 6.
McLoughlln evidently determined to
wear his opponent down nnd force him
to throw points away, kept Johnston in
deep court In tho 14th gtiinc, nnd al
though he forced It to deuce, Johnston
lacked the vital something that would
win the deciding point.
In the next game McLoughlln was the
comet of old Ho kept Johnston run
ning to nil corners of his court and drew
into tho lend at 8 to 7.
Johnston, given n few chances nt the
net In the 16th gnme, flashed over a cou
ple of half volleys and won, bringing the
games to deuce nt 8 all. A deuce gamo
