Needed Money To Pay Loan Sharks.

John w. Miller of Chicago, a rail-
road clerk in that city, who was ar
rested Saturday night on the charge
of attempting to kill and rob Edgar
M. Crumb, diamond broker, con-
fessed the crime to the police Sunday.
Desperation, caused by the hound
ing of a horde of loan sharks, was
given by Miller as the reason for the
crime, for which he may hang.
In his written statement of the
manner in which he lured Crumb in
the fiat for the deliberatl purpose of
attacking and robbing him. Miller,
who is slim, dark-faced man, thirty
six years old, revealed one, of the
most shocking plots that the police
have dealt with for years. Miller beat
the diamond broker over the head
not only with a stove poker, which
broke in three pieocs, by the force of
the blows, but with a meat cutter
Crumb is near death at hospital
Miller said that for a year loan
sharks had threatened him and swal-
lowed up his salary and cost him one
good position His wife, he said, was
good, saving girl, but he drank and
gambled and lived far beyond his sal
airy. An original loan of $50 increas-
ed to debts of $500. The interest was
10 per cent month, and he had TO
borrow from one man to pay interest
on his first debt to another man.
Thus the little cloud grew blacker
and blacker until it threatened to ruin
his whole life and drive him from
home
With some it would have been sui
eide. but Miller began TO plot to get
money in some easier way than bor-
rowing it. Finally he answered an
advertisement inserted in a newspap-
er by Crumb, who desired TO dispose
of some diamonds. Crumb went to
Miller's apartment to sell the gems
and the attack followed.

Goes After Ananias.

Plymouth, Ind, Sept. Is, 1907.
| Editor Tribune:
| will ask for space to make reply
TO the remark of the editor of the
Chronicle in his last weeks issue, in
which he said everybody was salts
fed that the county council had APP
propriated the fifty dollars graft to ].
w. Parks except McCrory, the mud
singer.
The Chronicle editor said that
without consulting the dear public
he loves so well, for | have heard
several good citizens express the
same sentiments | do in the matter,
and with emphasis at that. Editor
Boys is working this graft the same
as he did the road question some
time ago. 1t is senseless for any man
to advocate the idea that Mr.. Parks
was worth a cent to Marshall county
in that tax rebate matter at Indian
apolis. 1t was simply money thrown
away and besides as said before, if
any man did any good at 1ndianap-
oils, it was the county assessor; and
say this too, not because | love
Mr.. Parks the less and Mr. Leonard
more, but as matter of justice. and
information to the public.
| would be willing to wager the
best pound of coffee in the house
that the county council were not CIV
en- a full explanation of the matter
or the money would never have been
appropriated either.
Mr.. Leonard who did the efficient
work only asked his expenses to
which he was justly entitled. / am
well aware that public business can
not be run with the same degree of
economy that private business can,
and further that there are times and
places where an apparent high de-
gree of extravaganza is the very linn
it of economy, but deny this case to
be anything tut one of useless and
uncalled for gift or graft. IF this
be treason make the most OF it." No
man can show to the public where
have ever stood or wrote for any
thing that was not coupled with right
and justice and am perfectly willing
to leave it to the taxpayers whether
or Mr.. Boys is right in this mat

SENATOR DE LONGS BILL.

Senate bill No. IT'S introduced by
Senator De Long from Mesa county
should receive the support of the
fruit growers OF the state 1t in
effect provides for a reorganization of
the fruit growing industry of the
state as regards the work of the
State Board of Horticulture. As the
affairs of the board are at present
managed the state would be as well
on If there were no State Board of
Horticulture. The Office of the secre-
tary and the general work of the
board is a travesty on the intelligence
of the Colorado fruit grower. 1t is n
shame that there is so little of good
accomplished where is so much that
could be done. II is to be hoped that
the several growers organizations of
the state in their meetings will en-
dorse Senator De Longs bill and hail
the coming of a new era in fruit
growing circles. 1t is sincerely to he
hoped that the new law will be prop
erly put in force and that much good
will come from the house cleaning
that it will cause. The position OF
secretary of the state board should
not be a political job and ones abil-
ity to pull wires should not be a quail
iticaton for the position. These
things should be carefully noted by
fruit growers everywhere and they
should take the trouble to write &c
their several representatives in the
Legislature telling them that they eX
pect their help on the bill.-Colo

PRISON REFORM WORK.

itself.
Dear Madam:-The state of Colo
rado furnishes no clothing. trans
portation or expense money to men
who are released on parole from the
state penitentiary. The Colorado
Prison association receives appeals
every week from men who have earn
ed their parols in this institution.
Again: These men do not have
any change of underwear neither do
they have any overcoats. The Colo
RADIO Prison association needs at once
100 suits of mems clothing, 100 mems
overcoats, 200 suits of mems under
wear. 200 pairs of mems socks. 100
mems work shirts and 100 mems hats
or caps. As the association has no
conveniences for mending clothing.
of course only such clothing as is in
repair can be utilized"
An appeal to our citizens: This
worthy cause has been taken up by
the Woman's clubs of this city. and
all those in sympathy with the work
are invited to leave such clothing as
they are willing to contribute to the
cause. at the residence of Mrs. Edwin

AWFUL DEED
COMMITTED BY
A VAMPIRE.

Chicago. Jan. so. -(SpeciaD-A
human vampire murdered Walter
Kurpa. the 1O-year old South Chi
cago child. whose frozen body was
found in the marshes of the Calumet
river, declared relatives of the boy
today at the funeral, which was attend
ed by 800 of the victims classmates
from the Immaculate Conception
school.
Therelatives declare that this mon
ster carried the body across the
swamp and hid it. On the neck marks
made by teeth were found, and also
bruises about the head. There also
was evidence that the child had been
subjected to an unnatural crime. The
relatives believe that the little fellow
was dragged into a hut.
Last night a meeting was held at
the Congregational church, and an
anti-crime society was formed which
will assist in running down the
slayer.
A weird story of beastly looking
creature who frequented the neigh
borhood near where the body was
found, was circulated today at the
funeral. According to those whe live
in the neighborhood near the swamp,
the creatures appearance is so fear
some that even grown persons shrank
from him as they passed him on the
road.
He is described as being of heavy
build and would shamble along with
head down, with his protruding eyes
bloodshot. His lips were said to be
thick and he held his mouth open
showing his yellow teeth like tusks
When he walked he would pun and
wheeze from exertion, and he is said
TO have accosted several children in
the neighborhood and growled at
them.
This monster is said to have lived
in hut near the slough, and the po-
lice are searching for traces of him.
Since the Kurpa boy disappeared.
Dec. Is, this object of suspicion has
not been seen at his usual haunt.

STATEMENT
BYEXPERT WILEY
Regarding ALI Kinds Of Pro-
visions Kept in Cold
Storage--Oysters Not Good
an Hour After Caught.

DR.. Harvey W. Wiley, chief of the
chemistry bureau of the department
of agriculture of the national gov
ernment, testified yesterday concern
ing the deterioration of food stuffs in
cold storage before the congresion-
al committee.
The cold storage warehouses are
all at DR.. Wiley's disposal and he
gave the results of experiments with
foodstuffs
milk begins to deteriorate right
away. Fruit is improved and some
times continues to improve for three
months. Meats improve for seven or
eight weeks. But after three months
It has reached its maximum. l don t
care how hard it is frozen -
When asked for a further explana-
tion Of the deterioration of meat
froozen in cold storage, DR.. Wiley
said:
I'VE find that meats do not last as
well and they do not swell as well,
and every time the jury can pick out
that which has been kept over three
months. Take our quail We have
quail year old and we have fresh
quail cooked at the same time. We
cook them just alike, and every time
the jury can pick out the mouldy
quail"
He stated that most foods improve
when properly kept for a short time.
but said the object of his expert
ments is to inform the public, and
particularly the packers. how long
they can safely keep meat He said
'hat as yet he had been unable to
determine whether drawn or undawn
poultry keeps better.
DR.. Wiley was asked many ques-
Tons about oysters.and said that the
oysters shipped in pals and buckets
should be prevented from entering
