After the police took possession OF

knew nothing of the murder, but ad-
mitted that Mr.. and Mrs. Torchirito
with their months old child stayed at
his house Monday night. The police
think they were there also on Friday

years old and weighs about 140 pounds.
The CHASTITY burden he is supposed to

KILLS AND DISSECTS
Young italian Dies Perhaps
Through Jealousy

SAN FRANCISCO, April S.-The
mystery of the murder of Biaggio VII
lordo, the Sicilian, who was killed with
a cleaver Wednesday evening and
whose head, arms and legs were hack
ed from the trunk, has been solved.
The crime was committed in the house
of Pietro Torchirito. also known as Pc
ter Torchi, who is in hiding. Torchiri-
to's wife, Rosa, as well as Phippo Fe-
retta, Salvador Morando and Rosario
Domino, wanted as witnesses, have
been arrested. The bloody cleaver with
which the man was cut down has been
found and in the basement of the house
were discovered the missing bones of
the victim.
Biaggio roomed in the place and
boarded with the family. On Wednes-
day Mrs. Torchirito went out while her
husband and Villordo were at supper
When she returned at night she missed
the young man and asked what had be-
come Of him. Her husband cut her
short with the remark that it was none
Of her business. He then went out and
has not been seen since. A search of
the house showed that Villordo's room
had been the scene of a terrible trag-
edy. 1t bore the appearance of q
slaughter house, all efforts to remove
the signs of the crime having proved
unavailing. Under a sink human bones
not yet dry and a blood covered cleaver

COUNTRY ROADS BAD
Autoists Obliged to Confine
Themselves to Pavements

The country roads are still in execrable
condition and TO date have been an ef-
fective bar to any preliminary touring on
the part of the enthusiastic automobilists.
Some of them are in a condition that
would make the famed highway leading TO
Dublin look like an oyster shell track.
One enthusiast who resides in Stillwa-
ter purchased q car in st. Paul and
planned to launch it and start for home.
The car buzzed out of the garage with all
sorts of promise, but one look at the
roads was enough. The agricultural dis
tricts are not the only sad places on the
autoist's map. Right here in st. Paul
there are some spots that wrench forth
the strong automobile vocabulary Sum-
NIT avenue, the show street, is one OF
these. and probably the worst in the city.
Once the auto passes Victoria there is
nothing but trouble ahead. The clay has
become deeply rutted and any attempt to
travel faster than a state funeral walk
would result in jerking the best car to
pieces.
University avenue to Minneapolis is
passable, that is, the trip is possible, but
it is at present far from being one that
will be called to mind with the marshaling
of past pleasures. The heavy teaming has
cut it up and progress is made by a Sc
ries of jumps and wiggles from one rut to
another. 1t is drying fast, however, and
improving every day.

ton and at the same time lessen the
cost to the public has thus far not been
formulated with that exactness which
is essential to giving it practical effect.
The interest of the wage Garner is un-
doubtedly to get the highest return for
his labor which the conditions of the
business will justify. The owner is en-
titled to a reasonable return on his in
vestment.
I'VE are not the owners of the mines
and plants which We are called upon to
manage. The owners are many scat
tered all over the country. They have
selected us TO manage their business.
From the highest to the lowest worker
among us we are servants. The respon-
sibility is upon us to manage this coal
industry honestly and fairly so as to
make it profitable to our masters. We
can only pay such wages as the con-
ditions of the business will permit. We
must make the business profitable to
our masters. We cannot sell coal to
the public on any charitable basis. We
must sell II at a reasonable profit. ]

LIKE CODE AUTO LAW
St. Paul Motorists Satisfied
With the Provisions

The autoists of the city are friends OF
the new code, even if there are no others,
or to be more exact, they are in favor of
that section of the code relating TO the
royal and exhilarating pastime of auto
MODELLING. Those whose most poignant in
terests is in gasoline and electric vehicles
are anXiOusiy awaiting the finish OF the
session in the hope that it will be con-
cluded without the passage of any law
that viii discriminate against the auto
ist and curtail the scope of his pleasure
and business in his car.
Since the leap into prominence of the
motor car, legislation for the control Of
autoiSts and their machines has become
an important duty of every legislature in
every state in the country. On the whole
the autoiStS are satisfied with the laws
that have been passed. There are in
stances where the autoist Is unjustly
treated, but the grand average of legisla-
tors appears to have done pretty well by
the automobile.
What the autoist most fears are laws
designed not for the protection of the pc
destrian or himself, but for the financial
uplifting of some device maker. This
sort of thing has been frequently tried in
different legislatures. and the bills have
been SO cleverly drawn that even the
sponsor was not aware of their true i'm
port. Once the bill is passed requiring
the use of some device the maker is well
pleased while the autoist groans in an
guish at the additional expense he is
put to.

FRENCH CARS ENTER
Fourteen Already In for Big
Automobile Race

PARIS, April S.-Preparations are 60
ing steadily forward for the interna-
tional automobile cup race to be held
in July or August. Fourteen French
cars thus far have been entered for the
eliminating trials and others are ex-
pected, although the final list is not likely
to equal the number that would have
competed in the Grand Prix had ii been
held. Some manufacturers feel that a
poor showing in the trial, competing
against French cars only, would stamp
their products as unworthy, especially
side of France. Failure to take part,
however, will have only a negative ef-
feet. Again, the expenses involved are
immense, and the element of luck enters
largely into all calculations where an
automobile is concerned. The entry fee
for the elimination trial is 1000 and the
cost of building the cars, paying drivers
and making other preparations aggregates
an amount that is far out of proportion
to the advertising value of the race.

AUTOISTS ARE EAGER
TO GET THEIR CARS
Garages Are Daily Stormed
by Purchasers of
Motors

The automobile garages are busy
places these sunny afternoons. and there
are to be found many more men standing
about than machines. In fact the garages
have the appearance of a gathering place,
with the stray machine in the background
to lend realistic color to the scene. The
situation is simply that all the cars on
hand have long since been sold and it is
now question of delivery for the garage
manager. The year 1905 has been picked
as a boom year and the outlook lends
truth to the prediction.
Every day there is a mad demand has
my car come yet?'' and no sooner is one
satisfied by the receipt of his motor than
another begins storming the garage and
heaping maledictions on the factory that
is so slow in filling orders. The auto go
Ing public is not the most patient in the
world, and having heard of the trouble
about deliveries each member there
OF is out to get his car and pay no atten-
ton to the plight of his fellow autoist.
4. This condition of affairs prevails
north and south, and the factories where
the standard machines are turned out are
working to their fullest capacity night and
day to satisfy the demand One feature Of
the trade is the sight of many about the
garages who have long been confirmed in
the horse habit, and still another is the
number of novices who are taking a keen
interest In the auto. The medium auto
mobile has reached a medium price and
many many who have not dabbled with it be-

In stock. The demonstrating cars could
be readily sold, but the dealers so far
have been able to exercise sufficient self
restraint to cling to them. In this con-
nection Characteristic scene was enacted

The public has not high appreciation
Of either our incompetency or of the
difficulties confronting us, but is ever
advising us how to manage our busi-
ness. There are our friends, the news
paper fraternity, who to meet public
expectation, are compelled to be at all
times oracles of wisdom as to the many
things they know nothing about They
are expected to know all about mining
and selling coal and to be always
amazed at the stupidity of the manage
ment
Then there is the disinterested al
truist-walking delegate-who though
he tolls not, neither does he spin,' is
delighted to exercise a benevolent su-
pervision over both capital and labor.
We receive little praise, but much
censure from the big and little states
men and politicians, who give no en-
ployment and pay no wages, but ex
change sympathetic talk and promises
for votes.
Hits IdeaIists
There is still another class of wise
men willing to aid us, the emotional
reformers and idealists, each one of
whom believes himself competent to
make better world than he who in the
beginning created Ii and pronounced
it good. If We could eliminate all these
we would probably find a remnant of
people of good common sense to judge
our acts with righteous Judgment
In general because coal is a neces-
Sity of our modern life the owners of
coal are under some kind of obligation
to do all within their power to supply
coal to the public I'm reasonable guam
titles and at a fair price. The sugges-
ton that coal being a natural product
in some mysterious way this public
ioof &c oh fhor he drrfxr tn
volved in the supply of any other ne
cessity of life is utterly untenable.
Relatively coal deep in the ground
is of no more use until it is mined and
prepared for consumption than is the
waste field which needs to be plowed
and sown to produce food. AS there is
no obligation on the farmer to culti-
vate his field and produce food to be
sold at loss because the public needs
food, SO there can be no obligation on
owners of coal mines to operate them
at loss because the public needs
fuel.
But some one will say that the natu-
raj products like coal and oil should
belong to the state for the benefit of
all the people. Has it ever occurred
to you that If the state owned the coal
mines the work incident to mining the
coal and marketing it would still have
to be done exactly thetsame way as we
are doing it and at a greater cost I?
How much more per ton would the
public pay for coal if government off,
cials with political pulls and the ac-
customed graft and notorious ineffi-
cheney of state and municipal manage
ment conducted the work which you
are doing?
