this room the murderer opened the
connecting doors. Mrs. Lacombe stood
with her back to him. Without a word
OF warning, he swung the AK high in
the air and crushed his daughters
skull. Her whole head was mashed in
from the blow.
Mrs. Duffy fed through a rear door,
closely pursued by the maniac striking
at her with the ak. She succeeded in
eluding him. her cries attracting the
attention Of neighbors who came to her
aid.
Duffy then walked to the street
where he drew a razor from his pocket
and slashed his own throat inf1icting
frightful injuries, which will doubtless
cause his death.
Mrs. Duffy was severely gashed on
the elbow by blow from the ak as
she was fleeing from the murderer.

probably not start until the middle OF
September, according to the present ar
rangements.
In the paving plans the city contem-
plates enlarging the present asphalt repair
plant to about twice its present capacity.
The plant has proved more of a success
than was ANTICIPATED. the average cost OF
repairing the streets being IS cents per
square yard as compared to the $40 to
500 per square yard paid by other cities
for similar work to contractors. The plant
costs now to maintain about $3.50 to $500
per month, including cost of material and
labor The experiment has come out so
well that the city may attempt to extend
its efforts beyond mere repairing and act

ROOSEVELT HELD UP.
Charity Raiders Levy on the Presi-
dent and His Guests.

Oyster Bay, N. Y. Aug. 13.-While
playing his morning game of tennis
today President Roosevelt was sur
rounded by a score OF young women
and young men on horseback wearing
on their sleeves white bands with red
crosses. They informed the president
they were holding up people in Oyster
Bay and collecting funds for the
benefit of the Nassau hospital at
Mineola. The leader then let the
president know that he was their vic
tim. The president quickly produced
his contribution. He said he wished
the riders success in collecting a large
sum. The young people are all MEM
bers of the Oyster Bay riding academy
and come from the wealthy families
in the vicinity. When appeals were
made to all the towns in Nassau
county to contribute to the support of
the hospital at Mineola. the only
one in the county, the riding academy
members decided to devote today to
tagging" every one they met whether
in automobile or carriages or on foot.
The presidents sons, Archibald and
Kermit are members of the riding
club. but contrary to expectations
they did not go out today to assist in
the hold up.
The party started out early In the
forenoon and after visiting President
Roosevelt's home on Sycamore HILL
they rode along the country road and
stopped every carriage and auto
mobile that was met.
The party collected large sum of
money before the arrival of the 1919
p. m, train on which several of the
presidents guests were expected.
When the guests had entered the gov
eminent automobile to go to Saga
| more Hill and had driven from a short
! distance from the station the auto
| mobile was held up by the charity
workers, some of whom had added
long muskets to their equipment.

Cablegram From Sperry.
President Roosevelt has received
| the following cablegram from Ad-
! the Atlantic fleet now at Auckland, N
| a., on its way around the world:
"The government and people OF
| New Zealand are according TO the
| fleet remarkably enthusiastic and
| cordial welcome. Members of the
executive council acting for the peo-
| pie of the dominion have presented
President Roosevelt through me g
beautiful token and message of ad-
miration and regard for him and his
! life's work, concluding with an earn
est and cordial invitation to him to
visit New Zealand"
The president today sent the fol-
| lowing reply:
! "Oyster Bay. August Is, 1903.
! Admiral Sperry, Auckland, n. e..
| Am greatly pleased with your tele-
| gram. Please convey to the prime
minister my hearty thanks and the ex-

TOBACCO CAN BE SOLD
If Purchaser Will Agree to
Keep 1t in the Pool.

In order to relieve the tenant to-
bacco grower from his present en-
barrassed financial condition the
Franklin County Board of Control
has taken steps in the direction of
permitting him always to sell this
tobacco. There is a restriction re-
garding the sale however that must
be taken into consideration both by
the purchaser and the seller. The
tobacco must remain in the pool,
and the person purchasing it must
agree to keep it in the pool. At the
last meeting of the members
of the Franklin County Board Of
Control it was decided to permit the
growers to sell if they would agree
to get purchaser who would keep
the tobacco in the pool.
A resolution directly to the oppos-
lite had been adopted by the board
on a previous meeting but there
was so much complaint at this ruling
that it was decided to make the
change. 1t will soon be the time OF
the year when the children of the
tenant must go to school, and they
must have books and clothing to
wear to school, and this arrangement
of the board will relieve their wants
as they will sell their tobacco
