INSISTS STRONGLY HIS
WIFE WAS MURDERED
Philadelphia Starts for New York to
Identify Dead Woman's Body.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 16-
Benjamin J. Lang, of this city, left here
tonight for New York for the purpose of
viewing the body of a woman reported
found in the woods Of Hempsted l.. I.
Mr.. Lang, who is a violin maker, said
his wife left home last Sunday, ostensibly
for New York, taking their boy Today
Lang said he received a letter pos narked
Chicago, purporting to be from his wife,
and in which it was stated that she had
gone away from him and that he would
never see her again. He asserted the
letter stated that his wife had been ar
rested in Chicago. The letter was signed
with his wife's name and that of his boy.
II unhesitatingly declare Lang said,
chat the writing is not that of my wife.
1t is mans writing, and I know the
man. He met my wife on East One
Hundred and Twelfth street, New York.
I will give the police information to show
why my wife was murdered, and the
motive was to get her out of the way.
My wife had a $4,000 interest in a house
in Brooklyn. I had $4,000 in it also, and
third party had money in it. If the
woman is my wife, of which 1 have no
doubt there will be an arrest very soon.
l will point out the man who murdered
her, or had her murdered. She would
never commit suicide"

Food With Certain Elements Requirec

IN the Brain.
Poor memory means an ill-nourished
brain. The proper food to help and
nourish the brain will thus help the
memory, as in Ne following case:
Il have not known what 1t is to en-
Joy real good health, not having seen
a we'll day In over twenty years, and
taking medicine most of the time, I'M
til about year ago.
Eat that time I was suffering greatly
from nervous prostratiOn and general
debility, the result of several severe
illnesses, from which 1 never expected
to fully recover.
my memory was also so poor that
1t caused me much chagrin at times.
Il had often heard how Grape Nuts
had helped other peoples memory and
that 1t was a brain food. Finally was
put on Grape-Nuts for my meals.
1T was so pleasing to the taste I
enjoyed eating 1t, and after a time +
saw such an improvement in my health
generally that / gave up medicine al
together. Am not even using Iaxa-
tives now that had been unable to do
without for years. Grapefruit helped
my nerves, gave me strength, increased
my weight ten pounds and l can now
work and walk better and enjoy life
as never expected to again.
when my friends remark how we'll
1 look and act tell them It is all due
to GrapeNuts. My doctor never sees
me but he smiles with genuine pleas

me perfectly well, knowing how long
and how much 1 have suffered" Name

JAPS SELL BOGUS
EAGLE FEATHERS
State Audubon Society Hears
Strange Bird Tales at An.
nuaI Meeting.

can interesting illustration Of the
habits of birds in migrating was
brought to my attention not long ago
at Midway isle, a small speck in the
Pacific ocean west of the Hawaiian
group" said William A. Bryant, cura-
tor of the Bishop museum of Honolulu,
yesterday afternoon at the annual
meeting Of the Minnesota Audubon
society.
"a golden plover, evidently from
Alaska, met with an accident at the
isle several years ago by getting it's
leg broken, and it was taken care of
by an old German who resides there.
Being of humane disposition he am
putated the birds leg and after the
bird had recovered from the operation
set 1T free. During the following years,
at exactly the same day and hour each
year, the man saw the one-legged
plover standing upon a sand heap in
front of his house. The bird would re-
main for while, but would pass on it's
flight after paying a brief visit to it's
benefactOr. That bird annually crossed
over $500 miles of ocean and never
lost track Of the spot on which it rested
on Midway isle"
'The native birds Of the Hawaiian
Islands are rapidly becoming ex-
terminated" said Mr.. Bryant. 1.-THE
removal Of the underbrush in which
they made their homes in the forests is
largely responsible for the depletion.
The Japanese have made serious dep
relations among the birds of the Pa
c1fic isles, which furnish large feathers
that are sold as eagle feathers in the
European markets. Whole islands have
been depopulated Of their feathery in
habitants by the enterprising though
heartless Japs."
THE work Of the Minnesota Audu-
bon society had been greatly increased
during the past year." said President
j. w. Taylor, in delivering his annual
report. THE larger interest that is
being taken in the protection Of bird
life is indicated by the establishment Of
branch organizations at Duluth, Red
Wing and Grand Rapids. Branches are
soon to be organized at Minneapolis
and st. Cloud. The movement is slow
ly but steadily going on. We have
larger demand than ever for our
monthly bulletins which are sent
throughout the state"

MAYOR is UNDECIDED.
May Veto the New Gas Franchise
After All.

Mayor Bergundthal announced to-
day that he would not take I'D the
new gas franchise for consideration
until after his return from st. Louis.
He still has a strong desire to veto
the measure, but unless some new
condition develops to change his plans,
he will not do so. He said this morn
ing:
Il have talked to half a dozen bust
ness men about it this morning, and
they are all opposed to it. They tell
me to veto the ordinance. I am not
prepared to say just what I will do.
but the matter will lay quiet until my
return from st. Louis. The franchise
does not protect the city properly, and
we Will be sorry one of these days
that 1T was passed."
If the mayor should decide to veto
the ordinance, 1t will probably be done
for the purpose of giving the council
chance to change some of the pro-
visions which were allowed to slip
through Monday night in a sort of
half baked condition.

The fact that the renewal of the
meat strike is bringing many cities
very close to a famine seems to again
illustrate that in all great collisions be-
tween capital and labor the consumer
is the chief sufferer and must stand the
brunt of it.
The packers are picking up a good
profit at advanced prices on the meats
they have in storage Provision dealers
are exhibiting a foresight equal to their
regard for profit and are disposing of
their meats in stock at prices that
place them beyond want. The strikers.
though losing wages now, expect to
get as good a thing out of it in the
end as the packers. dealers and retail
ers are getting now.
Even the politicians are wide awake
to the advantage of the situation and
are busily making hay while the sun
shines. Democrats hope to make much
of the prostration of business, while the
administration is preparing to obtain a
decision in the beef trust cases before
the November election.
There is just one element that is
getting the worst of il from every
viewpoint. and that is the innoce- =,
