MAY SOLVE FOUL CRIME
Two Suits In Waverly Courts
Likely to Develop Facts of
Mysterious Case
DELllLAH FAILS CONFESSION
n. C. Bunn's Startling Claims = Comes
Into Collision With Girls Father =
Possible That Identity of Jerome
kern's True Murderer, Will be Re.
vealed Thru Disclosures.
,ac,a1 - rimes-Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
1yayerly, May 1.-Two cases were
filed in the local courts which may
lead to developments of statewide IN
terest. Rose Fails filed a charge OIL
threats to kill" against her husband,
John Fails, and John Fails had H. =:
Bum arrested for carrying concealed
weapons. John and Rose Fails are the
parents of the famous Delilah fa1ls.
who was sentenced to serve twenty
years in the penitentiary for the muir
der of Jerome Kern in 1897.
H. C. Bum is the mysterious factor
in the problem. He came to the John
Fails place in the big woods about six
weeks ago. He is alleged to claim to
be a lawyer by profession and that ne
has just been liberated from the Ana
mosa prison. That while fellow
prisoner with Delilah he became smit-
ten with her charms. That she reclp-
rocated his affections and confessed to
him the name OF the man who insti-
gated the murder of Jerome Kern.
That his present mission in Waverly
was to bring this man to justice, to
establish Delilah's comparative inno-
cence, and to secure her freedom and
make her his wife.
In an interview yesterday Bum
stated that he can name the man who
hired Delilah to commit the crime, that
he can name the store where this man
purchased the revolver for her, and
that he can locate the exact spot where
the revolver still lies buried. He claims
to be able to establish the motive which
prompted this man to take this heroic
method of silencing Kern forever.
The trouble which led to the present
arrests is claimed to be the opposition
of John Fails to the presence of Bum.
Fails thought Bum had worn out his
welcome by his prolonged boarding
stunt in comparative idleness. Mrs.
Falls thought differently and conflict
ensued. 1t is said that both men drew
revolvers, and for a moment it seemed
that the big woods list of bloody
crimes would be increased.
Just what the result of the present
encounter will be can not be foretold. It
is in incidents like This that the secrets
of hidden crimes are often disclosed.
There are many people who firmly be-
.ieve that the confession of Delilah
Fails does not contain all the truth.
That behind the dastarily crime was a
keener brain than that of either the
misguided girl or her halfwitted as
sociate. and that some day this mys-
terry would be entirely solved. 1t is
quite possible that in the present trial
disclosures may be made which will
throw light on the identity of the
true perpetrator of one of the foulest
crimes in human history.

PEASANT WOMEN IN JAPAN.
They Not Only DO the Homework,
hut PlOw the Fields.

They Not Only DO the Homework,
hut Plow the Fields.
The sewing in the kimono consists OF
one small and one long stitch, species
Of artistic basting. There is reason in
this, for whenever the kimono Is wash
ed 1t is ripped to pieces. This Is per-
haps why the japanese, who bathe
daily, wear such dirty clothes, while
the Chinese, who battle sometimes.
wear such clean clothes. The kimono
strips are dabbed up and down with
out soap, scrubbed with brush and
are ironed by drying them carefully on
boards. One of the sights OF q town
are these boards, with their strips OF
silk leaning against the sides of the
houses.
The peasant women not only do the
homework, but out Of door work as
well. Like the coolies, they wear trou-
sers and stand knee deep in the slush
OF the rice paddles, guide the water
buffaloes at the pillow or bind up the
straw to dry on the trees. This is the
Japanese idea Of haystack and makes
the trees look as If they were wearing
skirts.
One of the novel sights is the old
women mowers, clipping the lawns
with scissors as neatly as lawn
mower and stopping now and then
to gossip over their tea. Both In China
and Japan the tending Of silkworms
is not only done by women, but Is re-
carded as an elegant duty. In China
each year the empress inaugurates 1t
ceremonially, as the emperor does the
spring blowing. In each country the
other important industry-the tea
growing-is largely in the hands OF wo-
men.

GAVE HIM A START.
The wsy Mark Twain Helped .

many years ago, and the then young
physician had just hung out his
single Mr.. Clemens knew him quite
well, and SO did l, and we both be-
lieved that he had the real stuff in him,
but the people hadn't learned of him
yet, and his office was empty. One day
Mark was in my place talking when
banker Of social and financial promi-
nence came in. incidentally he NEIL
toned the fact that his physician had
died the night before with heart dis
ease and he needed his services that
very minute. Mark at once suggested
that he give our friend trial.
"'What kind Of man is he? tnquir-
ed the banker.
".None better, should say respond
ed Mr.. Clemens. He has never lost

""That sounds good enough. Give
me his address, and I'll go to see
him.
when he had left the Office, look

".Oh, that's all right he said with
sly smile. I said he had never lost
a patient

asked reprovingly.
