SAW MURDER IN AUTO.
A Farmer Tells Police He Witnessed
Mysterious Tragedy Near
Lemont, Ill.

Chicago, Nov. 23.-John Hennes, a
young farmer near Lemont, Tuesday
told the first story purporting to come
from an eyewitness Of the automobile
tragedy last Saturday, in which ]. w.
Bate. Jr., was the known victim.
If Hennes' story is true, he saw the
automobile speeding along the lonely
road Friday night, and at point a
mile north Of where the machine was
finally found saw a man rise from the
back seat and fire twice straight ahead
Of him. Then the machine sped on.
Although Hennes does not know how
many persons were in the machine, it
is assumed by the police that Bate at
that time must have been unhurt; that
he was murdered later to seal his lips
and that, therefore, the theory Of dou-
BILE murder holds water.
Meantime search for "Mr. Dove" the
supposed murderer, is progressing in
Joliet and nearby towns. It was
learned that the supposed "Mr. Dove"
while staying in Joliet boarding
house. bought benzine to clean the
light overcoat he was carrying instead
Of wearing.
A later report said the murderer OF
Bate was reported to have been cap
tured ct small station on the Rock
Island railroad between Minooka and
Morris.

Statement in Des Moines - Cues

Especial Correspondence

Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 21.-State
Dairy Commissioner HI. R. Wright has
filed with Gov. Cummins his annual
report, showing the condition Of the
dairy industry in Iowa during the year
ending July 30. The significant part
OF the report is the showing that a
large number of creameries have dis
appeared during the past three years.
These are mostly creameries of small
patronage, which did not pay for OPP
Grating under the present conditions.
With nearly every farmer of any i'm
portance owning separator Of his
own, the cream is being transported
much greater distances than formerly,
and the manufacture of butter is done
on larger scale and in fewer places.
This is considerable saving of ex-
pense in the industry and creameries
doing very large amount of bust
ness can afford to pay more for cream
than those making only small
amount of butter. The commissioner
says in his report that the creamery
with less than 500 COWS is certain to
fail. This condition is shown in the
gradual increase of the size of cream
cries in the state. The average prod
uct Of each creamery during the past
year was 120,5S6 pounds of butter,
while the year before the average was
97,770 pounds. The farmers of the
state now own 25,SS7 hand separators,
and from these about 25,00O,000 pounds
of butter were made the past year.
The farmers have become convinced
that it pays to own hand separators
and retain the sweet milk in better
and more useful condition. The cream
cries average 1913 cows and 100 pa
irons. Some of the creamery statis-
tics collected by Commissioner Wright
are as follows:

Mormon Declares for Polygamy.
A Mormon missionary elder by the
name of G. F. Lloyd, of Idaho, has
been working in Des Moines to secure
converts, and in a statement in Des
Moines paper he declared boldly for
polygamy, saying: 1.-THE scriptural in
functions declare that man shall re-
plenish the earth with his kind and
teach that it is right and proper that
he should have more than one wife
Joseph had two wives and u children.
who later became the leaders of the IL
tribes of Israel. No one regards virtue
more devoutly than we do. We be-
lieve that to disregard 1t Is to stain
our lives with fatal blot that we can
never eradicate. Man should not mar
~ to satisfy his lust, but should mar
ry for love. We believe in the ideal
home life and in the sacredness OF the
freside.
New Primary Law Opposed.
The new primary election law passed
at the last session Of the legislature
requires that judges of election In
cities where the law applies, must ask
each voter as he votes with what party
he wishes to affiliate in the future.
The law applies only to Des Moines, and
was intended to put a stop to the dis
graceful scenes that have occurred in
primaries in this city. The object OF
this effort to classify the voters was
to prevent man voting in the pri-
mary of party to which he does not
belong The list of voters belonging
to each party are to be used by the
judges of the primary next year, as
the list Of voters entitled to vote
therein. The questions were obnoxious
to some voters, and in one precinct
the judges refused to ask the question
of the voters. Many men objected to
stating to which party they belonged.

among the poor is to charge 1T to the

80 much of the summers working
time. Early in the spring the labor
unions Of this city had conflict with
employers, which resulted in idleness
especially in the building trades, fol
