TR|ES ID PROVE MURDER
RAZOR WITH WHICH MAY SAPP'S THROAT WAS CUT IS IN
 EVIDENCE.
NEIGRBORS ON THE STAND
Swear That If Miss Sapp Had Been Meeting Anyone, They'd Have Seen Her-Held in
 S10,0Oo Bond.

lola. Kas.. Oct. eG.- Samuel F. Whit low was held in $lo0oa bad Friday for trial for the murder of Miss Max Sapp who was cut to death with Il aazog in her fathers yard at Moran. kas- on Sept 27, and who. Whitlow says. committed suicide because of her in fatualton for him. WhitloW was m certain as to whether he would be able to furnish the bond
 The prosecution introduced strong evidence 10 show that Miss Sapp had been murdered and proved that Whit low attempted suicide soon after he was arrested
 The prosecution began laying the foundation to disproyc Whitlows story of his meetings with Miss May Sapp at her home at the preliminary hear ing of Whitlow Mir and Mrs l.. Kinne testified that they had never seen any one l0itering about the Sapp home at night. They live across the alley from the Sapp residence. They said that during last summer they sat in their own yard almost every night, often as late as II o'clock, when they could see almost the whole Sapp premises.
 The razor found in the Sapp yard was introduced in evidence after ob- jections from counsel for the defense. The attorneys for the defense are not satisfied with the rulings of Justice Potter. In every instance but two since the beginning of the hearing he has ruled in favor of the prosecution.
 There has been no evidence sub mitted yet by the prosecution to show Whitlow's connection with the razor.
 Whitlow was even more cheerful than usual when he came to the court room Friday morning. He shook hands with his acQuaintances and talked of the fine rain" that was falling.
 Mrs. Whitlow was at the hearing again. She listened closely to every witness and talked very little to her father, G. w. Garner who sat with her. Only two other women, Mrs. Kinne and her daughter, were pres ent A heavy rain has been falling all day.
 Clew to Razor Peddier.
 Another clew to the razor peddler was received by c. J. Peterson, county attorney. He got a telegram from a woman living near Tulsa, l. T. The telegram simply said that the razor peddler was there and admitted be- ing in Allen county last summer, This, together with several other telegrams of similar nature from Oklahoma towns, will be investigated at once.
 Calvin L. Morrison, city marshal of Moran, who found the razor, was the first witness Friday morning. He said he arrived at the Sapp home a few minutes after the tragedy.

LORAIN (OHIo) DYNAMITE STORE HOUSE IS BLOWN UP
 BY HUNTER.
WRECKS METHODIST CHURCH
Pieces of Nimrod's Body Are Found. One Man Missne-Damage Done Will Amount to Thousands
 of Dollars.

Lorain, O., Oct. 28.-An explosion of dynamite which rocked the city to it's foundations occurred here. in which one man was killed, another is missing and every building at South Lorain, including the big plant of the National Tube Co, were damaged to the extent Of thousands Of dollars.
 The explosion was felt in Berea, Elyria, Lakewood and ill Huds6l, and the eoncussi0n was SC tremendous that every building in the city rocked. The people were panic-slricken and the police and fire department were called upon to quiet the citizens.
 The explosion was caused by a man shooting into 1000 pounds of dyna mite in a storage plant at Seventeenth avenue and Pearl street. Small pieces of his body and the remains of shot gun were found near the wreck of the building. It is believed that the man who caused the explosion had been hunting in the vicinity, as shots in the woods were heard shortly before the explosion.
 An immense hole was torn in the ground and big oak trees were up- rooted and driven several feet into the earth.
 The force of the explosion was felt mostly on Pearl street, the central commercial throroughfare of the city. Store fronts were demolished and ev- cry pane of glass in town was broken. The stacks of the big foundries were thrown out of plumb, and ill the dis trict near the scene of the explosion people who were walking in the streets were thrown to the ground.
 Church Is Twisted
 The Vincent Methodist Episcopal church was badly twisted. Several Of the haIf-hundrcd stacks of the Nation al Air Tube works were blown down, and the big brick stacks of the Thew Shovel works, the Lorain Casting and Foundry and the Baltimore X Ohio railroad shops were damaged.
 Outside of the steel plant district, the force of the concussion was felt most on Penfeld avenue. The fronts of stores were shattered. The north ern part of the city escaped with noth- ing but broken windows. Windows at Berea and as far east as Olmstead, near Cleveland, felt the effects of the coneussfon. The damage done the big steel plant will amount to thousands of dollars.

Unfair Tariff Concessions.

ways been a fine market for American
goods. II has been suggested that

but their failure is easily accounted
for by the fact that. as President Har-
riman said. they are students Of
maxims rather than of markets."
Tariff reform cannot be successfully
achieved In a students closet. 1t Is
not the dootrinaire teacher OF political
economy in colleges or essay writer
who is to blaze the way Of revision
along lines that will benefit instead
of harm our Industries. Before a So
luton Of the right kind can be obtain
ed the business men must be consult
ed, and whenever they are brought
into the discussion the Democrats ere
compelled to retire.
The success OF the Republicans in
dealing with these matters Is due to
the fact that they have pursued a
practical course. They have consulted
tho great commercial and m%anufactur'
ing interests, and thereby they have
promoted the welfare of the whole
country.-Denver Republican.

The Democracy OF the north has al
ready repudiated Bryan and bryan
ism. The south is becoming suspi-
cious. Either the western meteor Is
losing its dazzling brilliance or the
political star gazers are realizing that
they have been looking upon a false
light.
There Is something of humor In the
spectacle Of political gymnastics pre-
scented by the one time idol. Govern
ment railroad ownership having been
SO emphatically repudiated, we have
had the theory of ultimate owner
ship, with pronounced regulation in
Tie meantime.
This theory. too, having failed to
rally the d"isintegrating factions, we
have had from Mr.. Bryan the theory
of the initiative and referendum,
based upon the apparent success in
the cantons OF Switzerland. But all
except the socialistic element of the
party has laughed in the face of the
peerless leader" To-day he stands
high and dry on the lone mount, as
one who has climbed to unstable
heights of theory and cannot find a
way to retrace his steps.

with nature. contact with men.
Time as when the public school concerned itself chiefly with teach
ing how to read: to-day the problem is more one of teaching what TO read
how to get that out of books which will help the individual to make a
living and TO live.
TIE work of the school should project itself into that of the library.
The need of a fuller understanding between teachers and library work
ers is becoming more and more obvious. Librarians should understand
the school and the needs of the children; a general knowledge of the
library and its methods should be one of the requirements for receiving
a teachers certificate.
The library should be truly a university of the people and should
have the same fostering are of the state rs the public school. State sup
port and control of the library does not repress local initiative and inter-
est. As in its aiding of the public school, the policy of the state with
regard to the public library would be to help those communities that help
themselves. The free school book system and the travelling library are
powerful allies in the library movement. There should he a central
authority exercising such control in the purchase of books as would mean
the getting of only the best and the frustrating of the manipuatons of
mere book agents. All Librarians, educators and phnanthropists should
cooperate. A campaign for the broader culture should be carried on
from legislature to remotest district. This is a time-saving age. How
will al the time saved advantage us if We ire ignorant of its value and
unable TO spend it proftably? The school must teach how to save time
in getting the gst of the nCTspaTsr Although valuable, newspapers
cannot take the place of more purposeful and. large literature. 1t is ours
by Sc OF present opportunity to open highways to fullness Of life in the
future.

A Suggestion.

The Brooklyn Standard Union, re-
marking on the fact that the National
Association Of Manufacturers favors
tariff revision and is raising 81, 900, 900
with which to carry on war against
organized labor, suggests that IL the
tariff should be ripped to pieces la
Dor would be reduced to such straits
that there would be no need of that
million dollars. This is worth con.
sidering. Why not use that million
dollars In breaking down the tariff?
That would be killing two birds with
N stone. The tariff would be re-
vised downward "at the earliest prac-
ticable moment" and so many wage
earners would lose their Jobs that
unionism would go to pieces In the
general scramble for work and wages.
The brilliant statesmen who control
the organized manufacturers may find
herein an easy solution of a difficult
problem.
