Assistant Librarian Of the St. Louis

He Has Confessed That He Took the
Money to Help Meet the De-
mands of Big Family.

| ST. Louis, Jan. 20.--Public Librarian
Frederick M. Crunden and Frederick
W. Lehman, president Of the public
| library board, met in the rooms OF the
public library to discuss startling dis
closures made with relation to the
boards funds by ]. +. Langton, assist
ant librarian, whose books show dis
crepancy of $4,429
This amount is said to have been OBJ
tanned from public library moneys by
means of dual bank books kept by
Largan.
knowledge of the discrepancy came
to Librarian Crunden first in confess
sion made by Mr.. Langton at Mr.. Crun-
den's residence, 3947 Washington 'bou-
levard, last Sunday.
anticipating a general overhaul
ing of his books, which was to have
begun this week" said MI Lehman,
land which was not prompted by any
suspicion of wrong-doing on the part
of Mr. Langton, but purely as bust
ness precaution. Mr. Langton went to
the residence of Mr.. Crunden last Sun
day and confessed that ne had used
SA,429 of the library's funds.
His salary during the last few years
has been 5000 month, put was much
smaller than that when he was COM
PEELED to assume the burdens of his big
family, and he is now only 40 years
old. He said that when his growing
family made extraordinary demands
upon him which his salary could not
satisfy he began to pecu]ate.
LAS the family increased and the de-
mands grew larger and larger, he took
more, hoping that he could return the
money and square his accounts. But
the time never came, and when he
learned that his books were to receive
thorough overhauling, he confessed
In his confession Mr.. Langton said
| that he had been heavily weighed down
by his family expenses. He has wife
and six children, and has for years
had to support an invalid father and
sister.

existence,

Reno, New, Jan. 21.-An attempt to
lynch an unknown negro was made
here Friday; the negro being suspected
of having tried to kill Mrs. James E..
Harper a prominent woman of this
place, who is so seriously injured that
she can not recover. Mrs. Harper's
assailant broke into her house and,
with an AK, struck her as she lay in
bed with her two children. He then
dragged her body into a woodshed and
was preparing to sever her head from
the body when he was frightened away
by the children's cry for help. A
strange negro was arrested by citi-
zen, and the sight of the man taking
his prisoner to the county Jail at the
point of a shotgun caused the forma-
ton of a mob of thousand people.
The negro barely escaped lynching. He

FOR SARAH SHAFER'S MURDER
Two Arrests Made For the Murder of
Sarah Shafer, Year Ago, Mt
Bedford, Ind.

Bedford, Ind, Jan. 19.-Frank Evans
and William Elmer Browning have
been arrested on warrants sworn out
by John H. Underwood, an attorney,
charging them with the murder of Miss
Sarah D. Shafer on the night of Janu-
argyll, 1904.
The arrest is due to a story told by
Mrs. Cox, the divorced wife of Brown
ing. According to her story her hus-
band, from whom she was at the time
separated, told her that he and Evans
had killed Miss Shafer. In his confess
sion she says he made to her he said
that he and Evans planned to assault
Miss ShafeI The two men met at the
alley, and as the girl passed, Brown
ing struck her on the head with
slungshot, stunning her. Evans caught
her and carried her into the cab shed
where, with a rock he struck her a
blow on the forehead with resulted in

LITTLE KATIE EDWARDS.
Her Mother Is Under Sentence to
Hang In Pennsylvania for
killing Her Husband.

Reading, Pa, Jan. 21.-Mrs Kate Ed
wards is preparing for death in the
county Jail here. Her baby is with her.
The woman will be hanged on Thurs
day, February 16, for the murder OF
her husband, John Edwards, 31a years
ago. The gallows is stored in the base
ment of the prison and Mrs. Edwards
and her associate in crime. Samuel
Gceason, will be hanged together.
While under terrible mental strain,
Mrs. Edwards bears up well. She was
greatly disappointed when the Penn
sylvania Federation of Women's clubs
refused to make an appeal in her be-
half. Her greatest concern is for her
child, Alma, 31a years old, born in her
cell, who has never been out of prison,
and has never seen the outside world.
This makes it most pathetic case.
Alma will be taken from her mother in
two weeks and sent to southern state
where she will be placed in a. good
home. Mrs. Edwards five other chill
dren have been sent to the west. When
a correspondent visited the prison, the
little prison child had taken seat on
stool in the cell. She looked at her
weeping mother in wonder. her dark
eyes mutely asking: "Why does man.
ma cry so much?" She got up from her
seat and going to her mother tried to
comfort her. She stroked one of her
hands and leaned lovingly against her.
Then the mother clasped the child in
her arms.
When Alma is taken away from Mrs.
| Edwards forever it is feared the moth
er will collapse. From then on will
| come the most miserable period of her
| existence.

surpassed by that of two other coun-
tries. The United States. outside OF
Alaska, and Great Britain each pro-
duce about S45 100000 worth annually
and Japan produces about s30,OO0,O0J
worth. Japan leads in the proportion
of the total population engaged in the
fishing Industry, in the actual number
of people living by the industry, in the
relative importance of fish products in
the country's domestic economy, and
in the support given by the government
to the industry.

suicide have increased in this country
during the last 20 years faster than

protect society from manslaughter and
self-slaughter have weakened notably
and the problem of crime is becoming,
in an increasing degree, problem of
