work. An immense masonry dam was
thrown across the American river at Fol-
som, creating a reservoir three miles
long, and furnishing a flow of $1,000 cubic
feet a minute. The water after passing
through four horizontal shaft double tur-

supplied The turbine wheels develop

HOLMES IN BURLINGTON.
The Story of His Stay Here Last Fall
The Dynamite Package.

Holmes came to Burlington late last
fall and rented of Mrs T. G.. Richardson
the house at 26 North Winooski avenue.
He was accompanied by Mrs. Pietze and
a blonde woman of striking appearance.
Soon after his arrival here an insurance
man and detective from Philadelphia
came on in search of him. They learned
from Postmaster Wheeler that there was
Il postal card for him at the postoifice.
The insurance man then went to Chief
Dumas and told him they wanted Holmes.
He started to give a description of him
when the chief interrupted him and said
let me describe the man. jerome then
gave an accurate description of Holmes
whom he suspected of being an accom-
plice of Larney's. 1t was arranged that
the insurance man and detective should
shadow the postOflice while the chief
should watch the depot. Holmes called at
the postoffice and the two men saw him
but he suddenly cluded them and escaped
from their sight in a mysterious manner.
They came to the chief in CONSERVATION
and he located Holmes at the opera house
with the blonde woman before mentioned.
They were followed to the house at q
North Winooski avenue. a little later
Holmes went to Boston where he was ar
rested A detective then came here with
money and told Mrs. Pietzcl that Holmes
wanted to see her in Boston. She was
easily induced to go there where she was
also arrested. After his arrest Holmes
admitted that no had left bottle with
highly explosive contents in the house on
North Winoski avenue. The chief went
out and obtained this bottle which is now
buried at a spot in the city known only
to himself.

an indictment for murder was also found
against him.
Holmes story regarding the children led
him to disclose number of chapters of
his devious career, and now that the bod
les of the Pietzel children have been found,
1t may be possible to fasten another
double murder upon him. one of Holmes
| stories is that he had lived in Chicago with
young girl named Minnie VILLAINS. Min
ME had Il sister. He told how Minnie
discovered his relations with her sister,
and how She, in a fit of jealous rage, killed
her sister with a chair. Holmes said that
to conceal the crime he carried the body
off and threw it into Lake Michigan.
one of Holmes stories was that the
Pietzel children were in London with Min
ME Williams.
| That Holmes connection with the Will
liams sisters was not an entire fabrication
is known positively and, as both girls
have vanished from view, it is possible
that he murdered them.
Holmes, Howe, and Mrs. Pietzel were all
indicted for conspiracy. Howe claims that
he acted innocently as an attorney in the
case and was duped.
A few months ago Holmes was arraigned
upon the conspiracy charge, and, proba-
bly, In the hope of escaping the penalty of
his darker crimes pleaded guilty. Sen
tence was not passed, and he has been in
the county prison since that time.
"A few weeks ago Howe was arraigned
upon the conspiracy charge, and his trial
was postponed until October, and he re-
turned to st. Louis on bail
The charge against Mrs. Pietzel was
abandoned, and few weeks ago she was
released and left Philadelphia.
AS nothing has ever been heard of Pet
eel since he came to this city in company
with Holmes it is probable that the corpse
found in the house al 1919 Callowhill street
was his, and that Holmes killed him.
An effort was made to see Holmes in the
county prison tonight, but the Jail Off
| Gals refused to allow him to be seen, and
stated that he had especially requested
that no newspaper men be admitted to his
cell.

GndeDendent Herald

A story was recently told OF how a
preacher tested the effect of the hard
times upon his congregation. At the con-
clusion of his sermons he said:
Let everybody in the house who pay
their debts stand up"
Instantly every man, woman and child,
with one exception, arose to their feet. He
seated the crowd and then said:
Let every man who is not paying his
debts stand up"
The exception noted. care-worn,
hungry individual, clothed in his last sum-
mer suit. slowly assumed a perpendicular
position and leaned upon the back OF the

them is evidence of prosperity. but the
number OF such is less than it was ten
years ago. The people of the world
know better. They know that when the
year closes n they have earned more
than they have expended they have been
prosperous. On the other hand, they
know that when all they have earned
will not pay what they have expended
for living. that they owe debts here and
there which they must pay, they are
poorer in reality by the amount they
owe IL IL has been expended in living.
In this case we have expended In
Europe millions of dollars this year for
all kinds of fabrics, pottery. glass, wool,
ETC., which in former years has been paid
for the same kind of merchandise made
at home. And now gold and securities
must be sent way to pay the balance
owed abroad.
This increased consumption of foreign
merchandise, as indicated by the hostile
trade balance, is the first fruit of the
Democratic tariff law. The later fruits
will come in due time.
