SUSPECTED Of
EDDY MURDER
CONTINUED from Page one,


There is story around in the village.
to which little credence is given, TO the
effect that a certain $40 which was pre-
sented at the village store last Tuesday
by young woman was the one which
was In the Eddy woman's pay envelope
on the night upon which she was killed.
The local inspectors are investigatigat-
ing the movements of several bad men
OF this ,licnity known TO have been in
that place on the date on the murder.
There is one man living within three
quarters OF a mile OF the centre OF the
village wha seven years ago laid farm
cr out with a club on one of the high
ways OF the town, whose actions on tho
day OF the murder are under investiga-
tion. Another man. now living In Paw
tucket who has within the past few
years served Jail sentence for assault
and robbery. is known TO have been in
Greenville at the time the crime was COM
mitted.
The local detectives and Town Sergeant
Smith are following up every scrap ot in
formation and II is confidently expected
that within very few days the crime
will be fastened upon the responsible per-
son.
On account of the large amount OF rob-
berry cases reported in the state several
OF the wooden mills in the thinly popula-
ted sections ere considering the post
ponement OF paying-off from Friday night
until Saturday morning that the employees
may stand some chance OF getting home
with their earnings. The Greenville
woolen mills were this week going TO
change their time for paying-off the help,
but, Il Is said that force of private de-
tectives and police officers would be on

FEDERAL LAWS
NOT A MERE SOP

Chicago, Jan. 1.-THE real enemies to
the business OF this country, as he viewed
them, were pointed out last night by
United States District Attorney Edward
w. Sims, who conducted the prosecution
against the Standard Oil company and the
beef, drug and school furniture associa-
uons.
"There are these he affirmed, willing
to have the federal laws remain on the
statute books as a sop to- the people and
yet would permit the rich and powerful
TO conduct their business in disregard OF
those laws"
This, he held, is destructive OF all
government.
He intimated that the disclosures OF cor
ruption and rottenness In corporate
management might have had something
to do with disturbing the confidence Of the
people and interference with business
during the last few months.
Mr.. Sims was speaking on enforce
ment OF the federal laws" at the annual
banquet OF the South End Business Mems
club, at Pullman.

coach him during the testimony of the
physician on the stand is conscious of the
fact that the lawyers questions are for
mulated by the coaching physician. These
circumstances tend to irritate the medical
witness. and his answers TO the questions
are apt to be stretched and more In favor
of the plaintiff, even though he be ex-

REAL WINTER
WILL WIPE OUT
CRIME WAVE

According to Deputy Inspector Nicker-
reason for the unusual number OF assault
and robbery cases reported at this time
is the climatic condition prevailing.
"All over the country" says the depu-
ty there are many thousands of men
ly fine weather prevailing. they are on
the roads. When they meet anyone
alone on a deserted road, they promptly
hold him up and relieve him OF what he
has on him. Many women--and men,
too--are now so frightened that when a
common beggar accosts them for aims
they take him for bad man." Just
let there come a touch of genuine winter
weather and these reports will entirely
cease"

The education committee has
reported without action Mr.. Mou-
tons bill to add a normal depart.
ment to the Lafayette Industrial
Institute, and the bill will not be
further pressed. It was intro
duced early in the session and
was the subject of a spirited
hearing, at which Natchitoches
appeared in force to oppose any
legislation which might weaken
that institution.
'Of course, regret the prac.
tical defeat of the bill in commit
tee," said Mr.. Mouton. but the
action is not altogether a sur
prise. The financial condition of
the State made the committee
reluctant to act otherwise, lest
the responsibility be greater
than the State could bear. We
expected little from the State at
this4ime, and meant to make a
large contribution of our own,
but it was apparently feared
that the broadening of the scope
of the school would require the
State to provide additional funds
before the treasury would war
