SHOP GIRL MEETS
FR|GHTFUL DEATH
Illinois Woman FOuliy Murdered BY
Thug After Having Terrific
Struggle.

CAIRO, Ill, Nov. 9.-Evidence that
Miss Annie Pelley, a Cairo shop girl
was brutally murdered after terrific
struggle with thugs last night, was
discovered today. Torn clothing and
tracks upon the ground extending over
a distance of two blocks indicate that
the girl did her best to save her life 4;
while carefully prepared gag and
heavy cloth bags indicate that her
murder was carefully planned.
Miss Pelley was a country girl, and
had unusual physical strength, so the
more than one were concerned in her
murder. She often left her home to
spend the night with her sister. so her
absence last night was not considered
as anything to cause alarm. This
morning evidences of the crime were
found within two blocks of the police
station.
Bloodhounds have been placed upon
the trail of the murderers, but 50 far
no success has resulted, and the girls
body has not yet been found. 1t is be-
lieved it was thrown into some
stream.
Four negroes. w"rnf,l named
Green and three men, VIII James Ar
thur Alexander and win Thomas
were arrested tonight and ara heing
held on suspicion of bern; i.np'icat-
ed in the murder.

DEFALCAT|ONS
BREAK RECORD
Big FOUR RAILROAD OFFICIAL
May Have EmDezzied Over a Million
DOllars-State VIII Prosecute
Black MaiIers.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 9.-Alleged
blackmailers of Charles l.. Warringer,
former local treasurer of the Big Four
railroad accused of embezzling $643-
900 will be dealt with by the state au-
thorities County Prosecutor Hunt
stated today that he has investigated
the charges made by Warmer Against
man and woman and that he W Oul6
proceed against them if able to collect
sufficient evidence. In the meantime,
maintain that WARMERS defalcations
are substantiated by the fact that rail-
road officials caused WARMERS ar
rest on a charge of embezzling S54-
500 and when pressed admitted the
amount was at least 100000 ani
later the sum was raised to more tha n
100000. 1t is practically assured
now that the total embezzlement will
reach a record breaking figure.
Whatever may be the culpability of
other persons, it appears as far as
railroad officials are concerned they
have no intention of proceeding
against any other than the defaLlting
treasurer.
The defalcatiOns may be far in eX-
cess of the sum mentioned by Vice
President Harris and they may ex-
ced $1,000,000 and may possibly
reach $4,000, 00G.

hit her just the same; though they
declare that this was due to bad

The man was given general bath
in eggs that he will probably rcmcm-

thoroughly drcnchcd with eggs that
should have been used long ago
while hc was on the stage; but AS he
was leaving the theatre he was given
a second dose Of the same medicine.

CAR OF SPITZFINBERGS
Sclah Gr0vcr Spends Month in select
ing and Packing Exhibit OF Fruit
for Spokane.

e. G. Hill, of Selah. has completed
packing his carload of apples for eX-
hibit at the national apple show at
Spokane and leaves this week for that
city to take charge of the display
there. Four weeks have been consum-
ed in selecting and packing $50 boxes
of Spitzenberg apples which make up
Mr.. Hills carload.
The apples We're taken from 10
trees covering slightly more than two
acres of land. Great care was taken
in the selection to get well cola'ed
apples and as nearly perfect as pos
sible in otherways.
At the suggestion of II. NJ. Gilbert,
it is likely that Yakima valley ex-
hibt will be made up of two displays
which Mr.. Gilbert will have at the
show, one from his Mob Hill orchard
and one from Richey & Gilbert. The
local commercial club may send a man
to represent it if such a display is ar
ranged. w P. Romans, probably will
go for the club.

This drainage ditch has been under
discussion for some two or three years

for the reason that machinery Is need

operators have hitherto presented
themselves prepared to essay the task.
The ground is pretty wet and very
bad in sections and it would be inn
possible to work horses to advantage
there. Another reason is that the

their ballots so as to get the full bene-
fit of their choice, though some cross

number of people voted for all the

TAFT TOCUT
TAX IN TWO

Washington, July 12.-President
Taft and the cabinet lawyers have un-
dertaken to save a tariff conference
over the corporation tax amendment.
II is conceded that the measure as
passed by the senate must be redrafl-
ed in order to remove constitutional
objections and the President has told
the senate and house leaders that as
the administration would be charged
with the responsibility of collecting
the tax and defending the act in The
courts, the administration should re-
draft the measure. Attorney General
Wickersham is now working out Ihe
legal problems involved in CONNECTION
with Knox, Root and the President
himself. If the measure is changed at
all after redrafting, the tax on net
earnings may be cut in half.
The customs court amendment pass
ed by the senate will probably be ac-
cepted by the house confereeS. An ef-
fort is being made to fix the judges
salaries at $4,000.
PlInging into their labors with en-
thusiaSm, the conferees took up the
metal and wool schedules, disposing
of many minor amendments.
