SACRAMENTO, June 13.-Henry Myers
accused of the murder OF John Lowell
was brought here by officers from Te-
hachipi to-day. He had preliminary
examination by Chief Of Police Lee, and
made clean breast OF the whole affair.
His answers were given slowly and not
until after several moments OF study.
He met Lowell in Sacramento one day
and told him that he desired to dispose
of his Eldorado county ranch, sell his
stock and leave. Some one had burned
some OF his houses. THIS was two months
before the killing. Lowell wanted Myers
to sell the horses, as he knew what kind
OF stock they were. He said he told
Lowell he would take John Olsen and
Bill Dagger with him, and the ranch
would be all right. Myers could not re-
member the day on which he left this
city, but thought it was on Friday. The
murder was committed on Sunday, March
oath. Myers and his companions had
started for Lowe!l's ranch to get a job at
cutting wood.
He said the plan to kill Lowell was
formed after arriving on the ranch, Olsen
declaring to them that as they were all
poor they could easily make large raise
by putting Lowell out of the way, as he
had considerable money aud, besides,
the sale of stock, harness and vehicles
would realize another good sum. The
old man, Lowell, cooked breakfast for
the three men and himself, and all en-
gagged in pleasant conversation while the
meal was being prepared. Before break
fast was announced the conspirators went
ont and strolled about the ranch, when
the manner OF disposing OF Lowell was
discussed. Dagger, alias Liverpool Bill"
said the best time would be after break
fast, when all would start out together to
look at the wood the men pretending
they wanted to cut. This was done.
Myers said Olsen went into the house
and procured a canvas wagon cover in
which the body was wrapped and then
all three carried it into the cellar, scraped
up some loose dirt and covered it over.
Before leaving the ranch they gathered
up large quantity OF ropes and halters
with which the stock was led away. Be-
fore the interview closed Myers, in reply
to question, said:
''I guess l hit Lowell after ne FELL but
] don't know for sure"
He also admitted that he broke the
gun. The prisoner said that no one else
was in the scheme with them. Myers
and his wife left Sacramento one week
after the crime. His wife expressed great
surprise over his sudden riches. He said
he was sorry he committed the deed and
had cried about it every night since. He
also said that Mr.. Stein of this city knew
he had changed his name to Otto Schon-
field, and they exchanged letters, but
could not remember whether he had told
Stein the reason for changing it. At first
he stated the murder was proposed by
Olsen, but before concluding said it was
Myers. The men will be taken to Edo
RADIO county for trial.

said the Papal rescript was fortunate

Irish Catholics were faithful churchmen
they would not take politics from Rome.

PROOF OF THE EARTH'S MOTION

Any Que can prove the rotary motion
OF the earth on its axis by very simple
experiment.
Take good sized bowl, fill it nearly
full of water, and place it upon the floor
of room which is not exposed to shak-
ing or jarring from the street.
Sprinkle over the surface of the water
coating of lycopodium powder. white
substance, which is sometimes used for
the purpose of the toilet, and which eau
be obtained at almost any apothecary.
Then, upon the surface Of this coating of
powder, make, with powdered charcoal, a
straight black line, say an inch or two
inches in length.
Htving made this little black mark
with the charcoal powder on the surface
of the contents of the bowl, lay down
upon the floor, close to the bowl, IA stick
or some other straight object, so that it
shall be exactly parallel with the mark.
If the line happens to be parallel with a
crack in the floor, or with any stationary
object in the room, this will serve as we'll.
Leave the bowl undlsturbed for few
hours, and then observe the position Of
the black mark with reference to tie
object that it was parallel with.
1t will be found to have moved about,
and to have moved from east to west, that
is to say, in that direction opposite to
that of the movement of the earth on its
axis
The earth, in simply revolving, has
carried the water and everything else in
the bowl around with it, but the powder
on the surface has been left behind a
little. The line will always be found to
have moved from east to west, which Is
perfectly good proof that everything else
has moved the other way.

Being cheaply made these goods are sold
to the retail dealer at a price that affords
him a large profit, and the retail dealer
probably unaware Of their nature, Is in
duced to push their sale IN place of pure
powder, upon which the profits are smaller
Ia this way they are being placed in con
siderable quantities into the hands Of con

real character.
Alum baking powders have been legally

While many Of the alum baking powders
named are only known locally, others are
found in almost all sections of the country.
Those Of largest sale are made in New York
and Ohio An avoidance of the brands
named by the Ohio and Massachusetts, state
authorities, will not insure against the use
Of the objectionable articles altogether, for
the manufacturers, when the fact is pub
lished that particular brand contains al
um, will simply change the name, and the
these goods are also sold in bulk, by weight.
while there are hundreds Of different
brands put up by small dealers in different
parts of the country where the public ana
lyst is not yet known.
Official examinations like those by the
Massachusetts and Ohio authorities, which
give reliable information as TO the real
qualities of articles of food and furnish a
guide hy which consumers can determine
the pure and wholesome from the impure
and dangerous without chance of mistake
are of great public benefit.
The Massachusetts ANALYSTS have tested
the various cream of tartar and phosphate
baking powders sold in the state, and their
report that the Royal baking powder is su-
periur To all others in purity and whole
someness and contains nearly 20 per cent
more strength than any other is quite as
important to consumers as the information
relating to the alum powders. The exact
determination as to strength of the several
