CHARGE MURDER TO GREGoRIS
Mysterious Killing Near Perry Last
June May BE Cleared Up
at Last.

PERRY, Ia, Oct. ~10.-(Special Telegram
Jim Gregoris was arrested this morning
for the murder Of George Colomoskos, last
June. They had been running a candy shop
together here and were supposed to be the
best of friends. One morning Colomoskos
got up early and taking his gun went out
en- the river a mile west of town to hunt.
He woke Gregoris and asked him to go
along, but Gregoris said he did not care
to go. This was the last time Colomoskos
was seen alive, except by a train crew of
the Milwaukee road, who were oming IN
on a train and saw him going toward the
river. Not returning that day his partner
began to be anxious about him and spoke
about his absence. Nothing was done,
however, until the next morning, when a
searching party, including Gregoris, went
out and found his remains with a bullet
hole in back Of his head, his gun twenty
feet away with stock broken and the barrel
bent as though 1t had been struck against
a tree. Gregoris was arrested on suspicion
then, but he told such a straight story
and the evidence was so clrcumstantia
that the grand jury failed to indict and
Gregoris went free. Colomoskos was known
to have several hundred dollars in cash,
which was the supposed motive for the
murder.
Since the affair happened, Gregoris has
enlarged the business and has seemed to
be very prosperous. Both men are Greeks
and have no relatives In this country. Greek
friends of the two men in Des Moines are
said to have given information that Gregoris
confessed the murder to them yesterday.
On this showing, he was arrested this morn
ing and held without bail. Should this al
legged confession prove correct, it clears
up a very mysterious affair. Gregoris sold
out the other day and was preparing to
leave the country and his confession comes
as a surprise to the community. although
there is a we'll defined suspicion he is the
guilty party.
The confession was secured as follows:

FORM CROCERS' TRUST NOW
New York Nan Proposes to Combine All
Wholesalers in This Line,
RETAItS WILL BE ARRANGED NEXT MONTH
TO Meet in Detroit to Fix
Prices and Definitely Organize New
National Concern, with
Offices I'm East.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 10.-The Interstate
Grocer OF st. Louis, will tomorrow say that
combine, to include every wholesaler OF
groceries in the United States, is In the
course of formation. S.
The details II alleges of the plan will
not be made public until after November
8, when the initial steps toward forming
the combination will be taken in Detroit.
George d. Hanford. of New York city,
is engineering the deal. In a few days the
entire wholesale grocery trade of the United
States will receive invitations to this meet
ing. Already a large number of the leading
wholesale grocers in the east have been
personally seen by Mr.. Hanford or his rep
resentatives, and nearly all Of them have
expressed a willingness to be present.
1t is proposed to take over the businesses
of the wholesale grocers in the United
States. One great corporal ion will be
formed which will buy outright the business
and good will Of all the firms. A central
of1ce for the accommodation OF the officers
Of the company will be maintained, prob
ably in New York. This central office will,
on all Of the leading grocery products, do
the buying for all the houses in the cor
poration.
1t is not proposed that the company will
go into the manufacturing of grocery
products, but rather hat the business be-
tween the large manufacturers and the
company will be through one general ONCE,
1t is expected that this will enable the COM
pany to buy in such large quantities as to
greatly reduce the first cost of the goods.

EFFORT TO POISON BURNS
sensational Episode Of Famous Portland
Case Which Was flushed Up.
ATTEMPT is MADE TO BRIDE A WAITER
Police Get Hold Of story and Put Him
in sweatbox, While the Alleged
P~OIsOner Makes His
Escape.

A belated story Of an alleged attempt to
poison James F. Burns, president of the
Portland Gold Mining company, while in
this city last fall attending the trial OF
the suit brought by James Doyle against
him was made public for the FIRST time yes
terday.
Mr.. Burns was stopping at the Grand
hotel when II is said a Granger we'll
dressed and bearing the marks Of refine
ment and wealth about him, approached one
Of the colored walters employed in the din
ing room. The stranger evidently await
ing his opportunity, accosted the waiter at
the entrance to the freight elevator, which
is used by the employees, and asked lin IL
he did not want to make a nice little sum
OF money. The waiter replied that nothing
would suit him better.
Then the stranger offered to pay the
waiter $500 If he would place something in
Mr.. Burns coffee the next morning at
breakfast. OF this sum the stranger, pro-
ducing a roll of bills, offered to pay $3.50
and the balance the next day after the
waiter had complied with his end Of the
transaction. The waiter, 1t is said. told
the stranger that he had evidently mistaken
him for someone else and walked away.
The waiter told of the strangers offer
TO a waiter IN an Omana motel Wnere Mr..
Burns stopped part Of the time while at
tending the trial of the suit. This mar in.
formed the Omaha police and they in turn
notified the authorities in Council Bluffs.
Accompanied by Omaha officers the waiter
whom the stranger had sought to bride to
poison Mr.. Burns was brought to Council
Bluffs at midnight and an investigation
held at police headquarters. one Of Mr..
Burns attorneys, who had been sent for,
being present. The investigation held by
Night Sergeant Burke, 1t is said, lasted the
entire night. The waiter stuck to his story
and gave an excellent description Of the
man who had offered him the money but
the latter could not be found. It is sup
posed that when the negro refused to con-
slider his offer he at once left the city.
According to the walters description of the
fellow he was wearing a false moustache.
The whole matter and investigation was
kept a profound secret and only leaked out
yesterday through one Of the officers en-
ployed on the case who has since left the
force.

CHALLENGE TO JOINT DEBATE
Republican Chairman Cannot See
Any Good to Result from
Acceptance.

F. P. Fetter of Oakland. chairman of the
prohibition central committe of Pottawat-
tamie county, is anxious to secure a Joint
discussion Of the issues between the re-
publican and prohibition parties In this
county and with this end In view has for
warded a challenge to Chairman Wright Of
the republican county central committee.
Chairman Wright OF the republican
county central committee. In his reply de-
clined to entertain the proposition.
This did not satisfy Chairman Fetter and
in a letter received by Chairman Wright
yesterday he makes a suggestion for a
three-cornered debate between the repub-
lican, democratic and prohibition parties In
this county. He say that prohibition is not
only q state, but a national question, and
refers to the Hepburn bill. To this Chair
man Wright answered yesterday, again de-
clining.
Senator Allison will be unable to speak
In Council Bluffs this campaign. County
Chairman Wright received word yesterday
from Mr.. Dawson of the state central com
mittee's speakers bureau that owing to en-
gagements in the First, Second, Third and
Sixth districts Senator Allison would be I'M
able to make q date for Council, Bluffs as
previously suggested. Chairman Wright,
however, is planning for two rallies in the
county near the close Of the campaign. One
is to be held at Nicola, at which Colonel G.
G.. Saunders, candidate for state senator,
will be the principal speaker, and one at
Underwood at which Congressman Smith
will speak.
Reports from the several county pre-
cinct committeeman indicate an increased
republican majority this fall and that no.
where is there any dissatisfaction appar-
ent with the entire ticket or the party
platform.
A. E. Kinkaid. postmaster at Walnut, has
resigned as member Of the republican
county central committee in view of the re-
cent ruling of the department regarding
federal officials taking an active part in
politics, and Frank Hanna has been APP
pointed In his place.
