the purpose of giving important teeti-
mony in cases against John Filshaw and
Leslie Webb, charged. with robbing a
stage of $500 and letters on the 9th of

1t ia believed that Dowdle, who was
convicted for the Angels Camp robbery.
and who has been in prison for several
months, will be able to give very i'm
portant testimony in several stage rob.
berry cases now pending in Arizona.
ut is supposed that Dowdle was pres-
ent during some of these robberies," 4"
said Inspector Waterbury. ''and that
he will divulge some valuable facts con-
oerning the robbery trials now pending
in the Arizona courts. The courts at
Florence are very busy with federal rob.
berry cases. We have on hand Just now
six stage and three train robberies, most
of them of quite recent occurrence. If

few days whe ther Germany might not
be substituted for the United States in
the offer of mediation. As there is to
be no mediation, Germany's proposition
still remains favorable to an ad-
juntment along the lines sug.
gestsd by Japan. Italy has already
notified the allied powers that she can.
not consent to forcible interference,
which Is equivalent to a declaration ia
favor of peaceable settlement, such as
would come through China's offer to
Minister Dun. 1t can also be stated
positively that Great Britain has ia
vored the recent offer of mediation by
the United States, on the ground that it
is presumed that it would save China
from utter destruction and thus preserve
the British trade with China. Under
these circumstances, it 10 believed by
officials and diplomats who are familiar
with all the correspondence that the
European powers cannot, with proprie-
ty, interfere with any offer which China
wishes to make directly through Minis-
ter Dun.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2l.-The Pitzsl
mystery deepens IS time wears on. To-
day many theories in regard to the mys-
terry we're knocked in the head by the
announcement that B. F. Pitzsl. the
supposed murdered man, was seen in
Chicago less than two weeks ago. Pres
ident Fouz of the Fidelity Life Insurance
company said today:
This morning my Chicago represen-
tative telegraphed me that Mr.. Bryan,
who is q business man in Chicago, called
on him and said that B. F. Pitzel was
in that city less than two weeks ago.
Mr.. Bryan says he has known Pitzel for
many years, and had frequent business
transactions with him, aud it is impos-
sible for him to be mistaken. When
they met, Bryan did not know Pitzel
was supposed to be dead, and the two
greeted each other cordially and re-
paired to a nearby saloon where they
had @ drink together. Then they sep
arated and Bryant says he does not
the city or not. However, our men there
and the Pinkerton detectives have taken
up the clew, and it ia my opinion that
Pitzel will be produced within a few
daye."
President Fouz called on Mrs. Pitzsl
and her daughter at the Central station
t,day. and received valuable informa
ton from the daughter in reference to
her father. The daughter said she re-
msmbered while walking with her ia.
ther one Sunday in Chicago that that
latter had said to her. IF you ever hear
through the newspapers or any othel
way that have been found dead, do moi
believe it. will be all right"
! Later on. while in Boston. she reac
! the story OF her fathers death in q news
paper. As coon as che had finished tkt
story, Holmes said to her: "Do you re-
mem ber what your father told you tht
afternoon you were walking in Chi
cago?"
During Mr.. Fouz's interview with the
daughter, Mrs. Pitzsl grew excited ano
exclaimed: They have all deceived me
even my own daughter"
Mrs. Pitzsl said she remembered re.
ceiving letter from her daughter Alice
in which she related her experience
while coming east for the purpose ol
Identifying her fathers body. Alice
stated that Howe and Holmes accom-.
panied her and both we're socisble with
each other on the trip eaet. This sets
at rest the claim OF Howe that he never
met Holmes until introduced to him by
President Fouz on his arrival in this

AT fNDIANAPOLIS,

Al lNDlANAfOLlS,
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Nov. 21.-It devel.
oped here today that Ii. H. Howard,
the insurance swindler, known as
Holmes and Mudgett, has been here
often. On September Oath he brought a
young girl with him, whose name he
wrote on the register Of the hotel as
Eta Pitzel of st. Louis. Howard ex.
planned to the clerk that she was the
daughter of an old friend OF his Tho had
just died, and he was taking her home.
The clerk says he believes he has seen
her or the streets since the time she
was supposed TO have left. She WAS
about 13 years old
Lawyer Albert W. Wishard was in.
structed by telegraph from Philadelphia
to file suits tor the recovery of money
obtained by H. M. Howard, now under
arrest at Boston, part OF which is on de-
posit in bank In this city. The title
Of the complaint filed is the Fidelity
Mutual Lie association against H. H.
Howard, alias II. M. Holmes. alias Her
man Nudgett, and Georgiana Howard.
The plaintiff alleges that he is engaged
in the business of life insurance and
that he Issued q policy on the life of
one B. F. Pitzel for $4,000, and that
by mistake on the part of the
plaintiff and deception and fraudulent
representation on the part OF the de-
fendant the aaid Howard received the
sum OF $4,000; that afterward the
plaintiff discovered that B. f. Pitzel
was still alive. proofs of the claims were
spurious and fraudulent and made for
the express purpose of cheating the
plaintiff out OF insurance money that
the defendant fed the country, turning
over and paying to his co-defendant,
Georgiana Howard, a large portion of
the sl0,0 900 which the defendant depos-
tied in the bank in this city. An affida-
Wit for a writ Of attachment 10 also filed.
ANOTHER WOMAN VICTIM.
CHICAGO, Nov. 81. Following close on
the story Of the mysterious disappear.
ance of the Williams sisters at the hands
OF Holmes, the life insurance swindlsr,
comes third woman victim namely
Miss Kate Durkee. Miss Durkee had
property. Documents representing the
property came into the hands OF H. II.
Holmes by theft. The woman mysteri-
ously disappeared, and Holmes showed
title to the property. Miss Durkee was
not Miss Williams; she had dark eyes
and hair. while Miss Williams was q
blonde. A year ago today 25 creditors
OF H. Ii. Holmes met at the office OF
George B. Cham berlain and made des.
perate effort to find out who and where
Miss Durkee was. 1t was supposed she
was an accomplice of Holmes; that
property illegally obtained was being
transferred to her name. The creditors
wished to reach it. Suddenly Kate Dur
kee dropped entirely from sight, like
the Williams sisters, and left no trace
behind.

Here is dream q society young wom- an had the other night after registering and then attending swell military wedding: She dreamed she had been at a wedding and picked up n paper and read this account. which was dated May 20, 1920:
 ''The bride looked we'll in the conven- tional wedding gown of the usual white satin, but all eyes were centered on the groom. His suit of dark cloth fitted per fectly the manly form. and a large bon tonniere ornamented his coat lapel, and in his daintily gloved hand he carried a bunch of flowers. His hair was cut in the very latest style, and the delicately scented oil which plastered it in place left a dainty perfume in the air as he passed The girls all envied the bride for carrying of such prize. and he will be sadly missed now that he is married He is most popular in society, his many accomplishments, his tender graces and winning ways having won him many friends He has done well in his mar riage, as the bride Is mayor of a western town, before which time she drew a good salary as n brewers agent He will therefore miss none of the luxuries to which he is accustomed A crowd of pretty and attractive young men show cred the couple with rose petals as they drove away. ."-Chicago Evening Post

 When the honey bee wears heavier husks and the silk is late in tasseling out, look for Q hard winter.
 When the honkcr goose constructs less substantial houses than usual, the winter will be cOrrcspondingly open.
 When the moon is out of its sphere from 1000 to ,, 900 miles, there will be no cool weather during the tidal wave.
 When the bears do not lay in a winter $ supply, but are neighborly in the farm. yard, the winter will be very open.
 When the wild ducks remain late at the extreme north and shed their feathers in the fall, there will be an open winter.
 When caterpillars build their dams with oak timber and lay in an extra supply oi acorns, the winter will be most severe.
 When goose bone spots are plenty on the sun in the fall, less heat may be expected and the temperature will fall like most predictions.
 When the groundhog sees his shadow during foggy days in February, he knows the back of winter is broken, and it i. safe to root hog or die.

The Chinese Son of Heaven.

In Pcking is the residence of a monarch who k still the son of heaven to 35O, GOO, GOO human beings, whom n bare score of living foreigners have even seen, and who at tEC end Of the nineteenth century leads an existence befitting the yelled prophet of khorassan. He is viccgcrCnt of heaven, himself all but n god, and lives a prisoners life. To the inncrmost palace no man is admitted, and the imperial per son nnd hnrrm arc surrounded by n vast body Uf CunuChS estimated at from s, ,OOO to in.0uu. When the emperor goes out, nobody is allowed in the streets, which arr very likely paved for the occasion. while tll" Ecuscs nrc barricadcd or closed with mats.
 Tho ceremonial functions of his lifo are manifold and CngTossing, and his cduca. tion in the native classics is not neglected. Kuang lieu, thc present emperor, takes q dc,p interest in everything English and receives daily lessons in our language from two Chinese students, who, unlike the ministers, arr allowed to sit in his presence. but with the sad routine of his official life, rigidly prescribed by m ada, mantinc etiquette, and the temptations of the harcm. it is unlikely that an emperor of China can develop forcc of character or learn lessons of statecraft. should a strong sovereign cmanCipatc himself from the pctriIlcd traditions of the palace tho phan' tom of imperial power would, it is said, SOllaDgC
