BERLIN MURDER
STILL UNSOLVED
BACHELOR RECLUSE IS FOUND
DEAD FROM BRUTAL ATTACK
AND POLICE UNABLE TO Lo3Alt
CATE SUSPECTS OR MOTIVE

BBERLIN, Jan. 2.-More than a
score of clues have been followed up
by the Berlin police in connection
with the mysterious murder of Herr
Max Lehman, but none of them
has proved successful. The crime
is one of the most mysterious that
has taken place here in years.
Herr Lehman, the victim, was
bachelor of considerable means, who
in addition to other speculations,
lent money at low rates of interest
to small tradesmen. He lived alone
in a fiat, did his own cooking, and
was very reserved in his ways. He
had lived in London several years.
spoke fluent English and was we'll
known to the American and Eng
lish colony in Berlin.
Lehman's landlord having seen
nothing of his lodger for more than
week reported the matter to the
police, fearing that something was
wrong. The door was broken open
and Lehmann's body was discovered
in pool of blood. Nearby was an
overturned chair. The dead mans
skull and jaw were battered, and he
had bullet wound in his cheek, be-
sides deep gashes in his face and
neck. The walls were despatched
with blood, and everything indicat~
ed that a terrible struggle had TAX
en- place. Near the body was a
newspaper
The authorities concluded that
the murder was committed while
Lehman was reading. 1t is sus-
pected that the motive was robbery,
but owing to the fact that the VIC
tim had never taken anyone into his
confidence in regard to his business
or financial affairs it has been
found impossible to definitely deter
mine the cause OF the tragedy, The
dead mans papers and correspond
ence were found apparently un-
touched. a.

TAFT AND FORAKER FORCES

TRIAL COMMITTEE MEETING
OVER TIME OF CONVENTION


COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 2.-The
first skirmish in. the night between
Secretary Taft and Senator Foraker
to get the Ohio Endorsement is ex-
pected to come this afternoon, when
the members of the republican state
committee get together at the Neil
house for the purpose of selecting
the time and place for holding the
state convention and the method of
choosing delegates.
If the Taft influence prevails it is
likely that the state convention will
be held before the middle of Febru-
airy. in order that the Ohio indorse-
ment may have its full effect on the
conventions in other states, nearly
all of which will be held later
1t is believed that inasmueh as
both Taft ana Foraker have indi-
Gated preference for the districi

CARING FOR DISH CLOTHS.
How One Young Housekeeper Solved
Kitchen Problem.

Dish rags are the great difficulty that
beset the careful housekeeper in her
efforts to keep a clean and tidy kitch-
en-. They are drying on the hook and
hanging on the sink. and somehow a
towel used for pots and pans is always
damp. Then time must be taken from
the general work to wash them out
and dry them. and altogether they are
most extremely annoying.
All these things and more. too. were
discovered by a careful young house
keeper. so she arranged to have a dish
in the outer kitchen filed with good
clear water and some washing soda.
and into this mixture the cloths were
dropped Immediately after using and
there they were left till evening. when
they we're hung up where they might
dry over night
OF course. enough towels must be on
hand. SO that the same one need not
be used more than once a day. but
at. ieast they are always clean and the

1t was so bad that he did not think he
could cure it, and did not come again.
Then we tried Sloan's Liniment and
it cured 1t up nicely.
"One day last spring I was plowing
for a neighbor who had horse with
sweeny. and l told him about Sloan's
Liniment and he had me get a bottle
for him, and it cured his horse all
right, and he goes off now like a colt.
I'VE had a horse that had sweeny
awfully bad and we thought it was
never going to be any good, but we
used Sloan's Liniment and 1t cured 1t
up nicely. told another neighbor

HOW TO TEST LINsEED OIL

There is nothing that will make
paint go wrong on the house more
quickly than poor oil. 1t is as bad in
Its way as adulterations in the white
lead. Petroleum oil cheapeners may
be detected by placing drop of the oil
on a black painted surface. IL one sees
the characteristic iridescence or play
OF colors which kerosene exhibits. 1t
Is evidence of adulteration. Corn and
fish oil can be detected by the smell.
Adulteration in white lead can best
be discovered by the use of a blow

desired stiffness. 1t is usually neces-

beauty and fineness OF the fabric is
hidden behind a paste OF varying
thickness. which not only destroys tie
appearance. but also affects the wear

Defiance Starch. as 1t can be applied
