Fisherman Pulls Up Dollar Bill Rolled Around Line Duncannon, Pa., July 18. —When fishing laws were not quite as strict as they are at the present time, the old fishermen about the town claim jto have accumulated a sufficient store of experiences to bear retelling for many years. A recent one not duplicated even in the olden times occurred when Russell Kiner, better known as "Fuzzer," drew up his fishing line to find a perfectly good dollar bill wrapped about it as care- I fully as if placed there by intention. The bill was In good condition, but I had evidently been in the water for some time. Kiner says that any up ! river fisherman who was attempting to catch the wary bass by the ap plication of dollar bills Instead of the time-honored "silver hook" can have the dollar fl"ovided he can fur- 4 j nish the number oJ the bill and is I willing to admit the manner of los ing It. 2,001,000 Acres Planted to Peanuts in Nation Washington. The peanut is com ing into its own. according to of ficials of the food administration. It is regarded by them as rapidlv reach ing an .important place' in the dietary, especially with the working classes, in tht form of peanut butter.' The value of peanut butter.

POLICE FIND ONLY TOMPKINS' TRACKS NEAR CAR Believe Tale of Holdup Shat tered by Latest Develop ment Johnstown, Pa., July 18.—With statements of authorities that no other arrests will be made, clearing up of the mystery shrouding the deaths of Edmund I. Humphries, Phil adelphia coal operator, Mrs. Humph ries and their son, Edmund Jr., on a country road near here last Sunday, ; is' expected to depend on the comp!e tion of the chain of circumstantial evidence which it is declared has con nected George C. Tompkins, a former business associate of Humphries, with the triple tragedy. Tompkins, who Is held in the Cam j bria county jail charged with the l murder, was the only other occupant |of the automobile in which the Humphries were riding when, he de clares. the party was 'held up by masked highwaymen. Mrs. George Naylor, whose husband yesterday identified Tompkins as the man whom he sa wrun out of a corn field near where an automobile was standing on the Ebensburg-Carrell ton road, Sunday, will be asked at ' the jail to-day, it is expected, to oor | loborate this identification. In the ! automobile at the roadside Naylor de j dares he saw the bodies of a woman I and a boy. Tompkins' attorneys are said to be preparing a defense, the basis of which, it is understood, will be me suspect's hold-up story. IdeutlHeM Tonipkinn Naylor, the first man to report the Humphries triple killing on the Kbensburg-Carrellton road, who told Ebensburg officers that he had seen the body of a wqman and a boy in an automobile, and a man zigzagging through a cornfield toward the car, cohfronted Tompkins in the Ebens burg jail, took one look, walked out and said: "That is the man I saw Sunday morning coming toward the car in which I saw the bodies." Tompkins, by counsel, has waived a hearing. Mrs. Tompkins, when in formed she could see her husband only once a week, prepared to return to her home at Philadelphia. George Tompkins Sr., and his son. Morton Tompkins, of Chester, Pa., brother of the accused, visited Tompkins at the jail to-day. They advised Mrs. Tomp kins to do no talking. She merely smiled. Her self-control has been re markable. The authorities are confident they can prcve a serious disagreement be tween Tompkins and Mr. and Mrs. Humphries relating to business mat ters, involving among other things his note to Mrs. Humphries for SI,OOO, upon which payment had been asked and which was carried by her at the time of the murder. Not a scrap of evidence has been secured to support the story Tompkins told of three masked highwaymen holdinst up the party and killing his friends. Kind Th'o Teetn Two hyman teeth picked up in the State highway some distance from the automobile occupied by the Philadel phians have been turned over to the authorities by Adam Smith, a Patton hotelman. At first it was believed that the teeth had been knocked from the mouth of Mrs. Humphries by the bullet which penetrated at the lobe of the left ear and passed out ~neur one eye. The two teeth may have an important bearing in the trial of the Tompkins case. The State main tains that ilrs. Humphries was shoe while she sat in the automobile to the right of her husband, who was driv ing. This would be on the right side of the road toward Ebensburg. The j teeth were found toward the left mar- I sin of the road. They are somewhat | splintered, so that it might be hard to determine whether they came from the mouth of a male or a female per son. Edmund I. Humphries Sr., who was badly beaten up when his dead body was found, had several teeth knocked out. No teeth were found at the fence where he must have been clubbed with the revolver, after hav ing been shot through the brain. If the two teeth belonged to the elder Humphries, then the State is pre i pared to believe that a terrific strug | gle must have taken place at the, car, possibly before any shooting was done at all. The two teeth have been turned over to Sheriff W. E. Mulho,- len, who has them locked up in his safe. A Model I'riftOner Tompkins is not insane. Keepers at the county jail declare him a model prisoner. He has given no trouble and while under natural men tal stress, has exhibited no signs of a breakdown. He has even encour aged his wife who to-day heard tier husband reiterate his innocence and with tears streaming down her face advised him to "pray and trust in tne Lord." Despite his persistence in a tale of a hold-up by three masked men, Tompkins' story has been shattered by developments. The county officers have covered every bit of ground about the scene and the only foot prints found were those made by shoes similar to those worn oy Tompkino and by Humphries. There were no marks of any other struggfe than that between Humphries and i.i murderer at the fence, where the body was found.
