CHARGED WITH
AWFUL CRIME
YOUNG GIRL MURDERS LOVER
COOLlY DELI5ERATlNG TO
PROFIT BY HIS DEATH
THROUGH FORGED WILL SHE
HAD sEcRETEO IN HIS EFF.
FECTS.

BERLIN, oct. SO.-Confessior Of a
crime of the most brutal character has
been caliously made by Crete Reier, n
good-Iooking girl of %, the daughter
OF the late mayor of Brand in Saxonv
For cool elaboration on the part of
the perpetrator, who shared her vic
TIM with a joke, the story is one a..
most without parallel in criminal an
mails.
ON May IA a chief engineer named
PreSSler was found lying dead in the
furnished room which he had rented in
the great industrial center of Chem
nltz. bullet had passed through his
mead by way of the mouth, the re-
Volver from which it had been fired
was at his side. and appearances
pointed to suicide His landlady, how
ever, insisted that the dead man had
never possessed a firearm. but the DO
lice scoffed at her assertion, and came
to the conclusion that he had taken hi
own life
There the matter was allowed to
rest 1t was remarked at the time, as
an especially sad feature of the case,
that Pressler was shortly to have been
married and among his papers was
found will leaving his entire possess
siOns to his fiancee, Crete Beier.
She, however, soon consoled herself
with another lover, a merchant named
IT,,
ly her father died, and few days ago
she, her mother, and her new lover
were all taken into custody on a
charge of forging the will of a citizen
of Freiburg. In connection with the
accusation the house was searched,
and number of papers were discov-
cred which suggested that the girl
must have had a hand in the death Of
her former lover.
On being confronted with these evil
dences of her crime the girl confessed
to it in the most heartless manner,
telling the story as though it was a
good joke. She said she had called
upon Pressler, and, with great show
VI dIllIlldNiOIl dllu SPililSB loLN AlAiAi
that she had just been to the fair
and bought him a beautiful present
1t was, however, to be surprise, SO
he must allow himself to be blindfold-
ed" To this he good-naturedly sub
mitted. Then she told him to open
/ his mouth, and this he also did. The
girl then whipped out a revolver, and,
coolly placing the barrel between his
teeth, blew out his brains. She had
taken with her on her visit to the un-
fortunate man the will that was found
leaving everything to her, and secreted
It among his papers.
After the GIRLS amazing confession
further Investigations were made, with
the result that she has been charged
with a number of other crimes. 1t Is
alleged that she murdered several chill
dren and buried the bodies In hel
fathers garden. She is suspected OF
series of forgeries and has confessed
to a charge of embezzling a friends
savings bank account of large sun
4 of money.

Chugach Forest Reserve

ChuEaCn FOfeSC KeSefVe
 The PRosPEorOR is indebted to Mir Langille, Supervisor. Forest Reserve, Department of Agriculture, for the following facts relative to the Chugaoh National Forest Reserve:
 The Chugach National Forest was created by President Roosevelt's pro- clamation dated July 23, 1907.
 It includes all the territory bounded on the east by Copper River from It's mouth to the summit of the Chugach these mountains to the portage between Portage Bay and Turnagain Arm; thence along the shores of the Kenai Peninsula to Cape Puget, and includes all the islands in and adjacent to Prince William Sound, an approximat 6 area of 4,90O0,O0O acres.
 The purpose of the Government in setting aside this area as a national forest is solely to retain the tim Der under it's control, thereby perpetuating permanent timber supply available at all times for all people, to the exclusion of those who would attempt to acquire and hold the timber for speculative purposes.
 There is general erroneous impress sion that the creation of national for est prevents the use of the land or forest products within it, when the re- verse is the case Laws and regula- tions provide for tie use of the lands, and all dead and mature green timber IS for sale at a reasonable stumpage price, which IS based on the economic conditions of the region at the time of purchase. Mine owners within the forest may use without charge all tim Der within the bounds of their claims, tim Der taken from outside these lines are subject to the following charges
 Saw timber, all kinds, 50 cents per M. Filing of all kinds 1a cent per linear foot. COrdwood all kinds, twenty five cents per cord. All stumpage is pay able in advance, and cutting without permit, constitutes trespass
 Twenty-Five cords of firewood and 10000 feet, board measure, of saw logs, may be cut each year by any citizen for personal use. Homesteads and other valid claims within the forest in- itiated previous to the proclamation will not be affected.
 A forest officer will be stationed at Valdez who will furnish any desire ed information, and to him all applications for the purchase of timter should be made.

RENo,s LATEST CAMPAIGN.

The sheriff and district attorney of
Reno have discovered statute forbid
ding the conduct of brothel within
four hundred yards of a school or
church and have served notice upon
the unfortunates occupying the tender
loin district to vacate by Saturday
next. The ''red light district of Reno
has long been a shame and disgrace
to the town, owing to its proximity to
the business district. Such places may
be a necessary evil, but certainly
should be relegated to some remote
part of the town where they can be
avoided or where one could not un-
consciously stumble upon them.
The best feature of the Reno cam
paign, however, was taken up last.
The sheriff has issued an edict that IF
any of the owners of the houses, which
includes the names of several promi-
nent men, should reopen the houses or
allow them to be run after Saturday.
they will all be thrown in jail. .
Good for Reno's sheriff. That's
where he struck the nail on the head.
Our only criticism is that he should
have used his persuasive powers on the
prominent newcomers" the first
crack out of the box. If the tender
loin is a necessary evil all very well
and good, but let their own kind re-
ceive the revenue. We have more
sympathy for them than for the prom
inent men" that reap large profits
on their invested capital. These cam
paigns would all be more successful if
the guns were turned on the property
owners first.

COUGHING IN CHURCH.

The Muse of History has not felt
it beneath her dignity to record the
fact that in 1927 Paris was visited
by an epidemic of influenza of such
severity that sermons had to be
given up because the preachers voice
was drowned by the coughing of the
congregation. We do not know
whether the modern churchgoer has
a respiratory mucous membrane of
greater sensitiyeness than his
medieval homologue, but it is GER
tain that he often browns the voice
of the speaker without the excuse of
influenza.-British Medical Journal

WATER JUGS ARE PRETTY
New crockery of the Season a De
light to Those Who Have Fad
for Collecting Pitchers.

Have YOU a friend who collects
pitchers? If so, you will win her to
you for life If you give her one of
the new little crockery water jugs
that are so much admired this sea-
son.
The shape is fascinating-very
squat and fat, with unusually wide
mouth, The only coloring is three
inch wide bands of deep, almost
Irish green, about the bulge of the
Jug, and touch of the same shade
on the handle. The contrast with
the creamy tint of the crockery is
particularly striking.
OF all Collecting fads this of
pitchers is one of the most pleasant,
while less costly than many. Of
course, indefinite amounts may be
spent on a single specimen, especial
ly if it is an antique; then again it
is perfectly possible to pick up
quaint, really artistic jugs and wa
ter bottles for a mere trife. For
some reason both shapes and color
ing in the cheap earthenware pitch
ers are often really good.
Apart from the interest of mere
collecting, pitchers are very useful
fad. They make a charming deco
ration, either arranged on high
shelf molding in a dining-room or
hung from plate rail. Then, pitch
ers, especially the low, wide
mouthed ones, are invaluable to
hold great punches of garden flow
ers in the summer.
They are also attractive to use for
drinking water in guest rooms IN
summer homes, where a different
one may be placed each day, thus

collects: at close range. Naturally
the rare or costly specimens are not
wise seleotions for this purpose; nor
is it advisable to set them around
on small porch tables or tabourets,
where they are easily broken.

propriated by the legislature to trace
and arrest Goebel's murderers would
be paid as bribe for letting Taylor go
to trial.
Ex-Gov. Taylor himself, firing of en-
forced exile, is understood to be ne
gotiating at long range with the
Kentucky authorities kind of extra
legal treaty by which he may return
and stand trial if specified judge and
jury of six democrats and six republi-
cans can be assured him-a quite UNI
constitutional proceeding.
No one blames Mr.. Taylor for keep
ing out of Kentucky, or successive
governors of Indiana for protecting
him by refusing extradition. The cir
cumstances were for years and prob
ably still are such as to make fair
trial unlikely. No proof of Taylor's
guilt has ever been brought forward.
He had no motive. Common sense
would have enabled him to forsee
how Goebel's death would blast his own
prospects.
Caleb Powers, his secretary of state,
has been thrice tried on a similar
charge, twice sentenced to life i'm
prisonment and once to death, has had
in each case the verdict reversed by the
state court of appeals, has applied to
the federal courts and is still nominally
waiting trial, practically prisoner of
state, as much a victim of admins
trative process" as if he were in Russia
Goebel was shot Feb. 8, 1900, from a
window of the state house in Lexington
during the bitterest election contest
even Kentucky has ever known. TAYLOR
had received an undoubted majority of
the votes. Goebel, himself brawling
fighter with a notch on his revolver
stock, was trying to have himself
counted in by a partisan returning
board constituted by a law whose pas
sage he had secured while a senator.
Taylor committed a dangerous error
of judgment when he brought down
thousands of armed mountain men to
Lexington to show the legislators their
deep interest in the conflict, as he put
it; to overawe them, as his opponents
said. But to plot murder would have
been for him as great a blunder as
crime.
The result of that one rifle shot was
to elect Beckham Governor, to put Joe
Blackburn in the senate, to defeat a
promising movement for the reform of
the democratic party from within and
to prostitute the lower courts to an
unworthy thirst for feud vengeance. So
much for the baneful results of murder
in politics.

THE FAT ATHLETE.
New York World

The visit of the japanese wrestler
Hitachiyama is of interest because of
the bearing his generous physique may
have on the question of weight and
athletic fitness. A champion athlete
who tips the beam at $50 pounds is cal
culated to upset established notions of
training.
Have Anglo Saxon trainers been
wrong in insisting on the removal of
the last ounce of superhous flesh as a
preliminary to successful competition?
Too often athletes under the double
strain of exhausting exercise and a
rigorous diet have gone stale at the
moment when theoretically they were
in the pink of condition. College oars
men have benefited from the liberal
ization of the training table, but they
still have something to learn from the
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1907-01-25
