POLICE SEEK TO •
FIND MOTIVE IN
CHAPIN KILLING
Story of Financial Trouble
Lacks Candor; Probe
His Night Out
-New York., Sept. 20.—At the dis
trict attorney's office Interest con
tinued to-day In the case of Charles
E. Chapin, who was city editor of
the Evening World and who yester
day was indicted for the killing of
his wife, whom he shot while she
lay asleep last Monday in their
apartment at Hotel Cumberland. He
will be tried for murder in due
course unless before he is brought to
trial a commission should declare
him insane.
The commission, if one should be
appointed, will pass only unon his
sanity at the time he is examined
and not upon his mental condition at
the time he killed his wife. If it finds
him insane he wifl be committed toj
the State Hospital for the Criminal
Insane at Matteawan and if he is ever
released from there as cured, he will
be brought back to this county and
placed on trial.

LEMON JUICE I
TAKES OFF TANJ
Girls! Make bleaching lotion
if skin is sunburned,
tanned or freckled
Squeeze the juice of two lemons
into a bottle containing three ounces
of Orchard White, shake well, and
you have a quarter pint of the best
freckle, sunburn and tan lotion, and
complexion beautifler, at very, very
small cost
Your grocer has the lemons and
any drug store or toilet counter will
supply three ounces of Orchard
White for a few cents. Massage this
sweetly fragrant lotion into the face,
neck, arms and hands each day and
see how freckles, sunburn, windburn
and tan disappear and how clear,
soft and white the skin becomes.
Yes! It is harmless.

FRIDAY EVENING,
atatant District Attorney Magee, -who
were inclined to doubt his sanity
when he first talked to them on Tues
day, are not so sure now that he Is
not perfectly sane. Bince Chapln's
arrest the police have rocetved con
siderable information touching his
habits and friendships. They have
begun an Investigation Into his life
during the last several years eud
already have come upon facts which,
they say, negative his statement that
he was devoted to his wife and that
their marrtod life was Ideal.
At the district attorney's office it
was said to-day that Chapln had
lacked candor concerning his debts,
which, he declared, had so preyed
upon his mind as to drive him to the
Idea of murder and suicide. He has
refused to name any of the persons
or firms to whom he owes money or
to tell how much money he owes.
The only debt of which the police
have Information Is an unpaid ac
count of $84)0 at tho hotel where he
lived.
i Under the law, according to his
! own confession and if he is sane, tho
| killing of his wife was premeditated,
I and premeditation without any mo
| tlve Is sufficient to support a prose-
I cutlon for first degree murder.
It is with the idea of discovering a
possible motive underlying the ad
| mltted premeditation that the police
I are checking up his private life and
friendships. They talked yesterday
with a t.axicab driver, a hotel clerk
and persons who knew him when he
kept a yacht in Gravesend Bay and
gave entertainments on board. In
vestigation is also being made into
the statement that he spent the en
tire night wandering in parks after
! he had killed his wife.
So far he has not retained other
, counsel than Joseph B. Keating who
appeared for him when he was ar
raigned in a magistrate's court.
Brown & Co. Take Over
Another Building to Care
For Expansion of Trade
Among the Important business an
nouncements of the season is one
from the uptown furniture house of
Brown & Company, who state that
they have Just secured the building
formerly occupied by the E. L. Rink
enbach jewelry store, at 1215 North
Third street, and will shortly occupy
it in connection with the adjoining
buildings at 1217 and 1219 North
Third street, thus giving this pro
gressive firm three connecting build- j
ings on Third street, and another
building communicating with them
on Verbeke street.
Owing to war conditions in the
building trade, no improvements on
the property just secured at 1215
North Third street, will be made at
the present time except the placing
of a new front adapted to the proper
display of furniture and the opening
of archways through the wall sepa
rating the buildings, in order to
throw the buildings all together into
one store.
When the firm of Brown & Com
pany opened its doors for business
nine years ago only part of the
building at 1217 Third street, was
occupied. This last addition to the
floor space used by the firm is the
fifth such enlargement which has
been made during the intervening
| years, until now. with this last ex
j tion the firm has the largest mercan
: tile establishment uptown and one
■ of the largest stores in the city.
The rapid growth in business
l which has made such extensions
I necessary, is, due to the progressive
ness and untiring efforts of the man
agement, the members of which have
always been identified with Harris
burg's civic, and commercial pro
gress.
Spirits of Pennsylvania
Boys High at Front
The boys of the Twenty-eighth Di
vision can stop fighting now and come
back home and yet command the riot
ous homage of Pennsylvanians, ac
cording to Captain E. A. Nicodeums,
of Harrisburg. just over from France,
j The Captain had this' to say about the
| "Twenty-eighths" last evening:
"All the Harrisburg boys I have
seen in the last three weeks—and
that is a very large number have
been well," said the Captain. "The
local boys are in the Twenty-eighth
Division, and I have been handling the
pay and a large part of the supplies
of that division. All of them have
been doing exceptionally fine work in
France. Harrisburg can Justly be
extremely proud of them."
On the way "over there," his boat,
the Mt Vernon, was torpedoed by a
German submarine, when hardly a
day out of Brest, killing thirty-five
of the crew outright and destroying
the after-deck of the ship. Captain
Nicodemus, who has seen almost
twenty-six years military service,
speaks well of the morale of Pennsyl
vania's soldiers in France, commend
ing their "pep," at the same time
which, he said, was responsible for
imbuing their British and French
brothers in arms with renewed cour
age and zest. The American troops,
he said, harmonized well, in all re
spects, with their allies abroad.

RAIN HOLDS UP
FARM TRACTOR
DEMONSTRATION
Six of Fifteen Machines Per
form According to Cata
logue Qualifications
There was vast disappointment
this morning when It was found that
the steady downpour of rain would
prevent the continuing of the trac
tor plow contest at Marsh Run. De
spite bad roads magy motored over,
but only to find that the State Agri
cultural Department, having taking
counsel with all hands, had decided
to postpone the exhibition until to
morrow. |
The husky farmers from Dauphin
and many nearby counties being ac
customed to the adversities of weath
er, came in Just the same and had
the machines operated they were
game to look- on. The program now
is to start early to-morrow, unless
rain continues, but whatever the
weather it is certain the tests will
be completed.
To Work To-morrow
Yesterday six out of fifteen con
testants finished on time, that is, I
within three hours. The greatest
caution was taken by the official ob- I
servers to carry out regulations to j
the letter. Each tractor was given a
space to plow, in accordance with
what it is claimed the machine can
do in the catalog issued by the man
ufacturer. The space was allotted in
measure of plowing speed. Each of
the six machines which finished
made a different width, some armed
with three plows; others with two.
If the entire squad of contestants
had lived up to the claims made in
their catalogs all would have fin
ished within three hours. The plow
crs, accompanied by a government
expert, got away to an even start at
precisely 3.30 and six finished on the
second, almost, of 6.30. The nine
which could not meet their own re
quirements were to return and "plow
out" this morning, but now they have
the chance to-morrow.
Regulations are practically under
government surpervision and there
is no evasion. The United States De
partment of Agriculture gave the
territory which embraces nearly 250
acres and the prime condition is that
the whole of it must be cultivated
and seeded with wheat when the
tests are finished.

Resinol
aids poor complexions
If your complexion is rough, red, or
pimply, don't try to cover up the de
fects with cosmetics which do not con
ceal, but usually attract attention to the
reason for their use. Begin today to
clear your skin with Resinol Ointment
and Resinol Soap.
This treatment not only cleanses the
skin and enables it to breathe, but
usually removes blotches, redness and
roughness.
Ask your dealer for Resinol Soap and Ointment.

Have you a cold?
Breathe Hyomei.
Hyomei Is the one treatment for all
nose, throat and lung troubles. It
does not contain any cocaine or mor
phine and all that is necessary is to
breathe it through the little pocket
inhaler that comes with each outfit.
A complete outfit costs but little at
druggists everywhere and at H. C.
Kennedy's, and Hyomei is guaranteed
to banish catarrh, croup, coughs,
colds, sore throat and bronchitis or
money back. A Hyomei inhaler lasts
a lifetime and extra bottles of Hyomei
can be obtained from druggists.—Ad
