New York, July 13-Two white girls,
neither more than nineteen years old, and
a youth OF the same age were gathered
into the Chinese murder net to-day as
witnesses likely to know about the mys-
terious killing Of ing Cow, Chinese laun-
dryman. and possibly also OF Elsie Sigel,
the murdered sweetheart OF Leung Lin.
The three were held as material wit
nesses in the Ung Cow case and were
questioned at headquarters to-day, de-
tectives being satisfied that the laundry
man was slain because he knew too much
about the killing Of Elsie Sigel and the
fate OF Leuns Lin The police have come

fugitive. may have been killed and his
body hidden by another Chinaman who
was Leung's rival

both OF s. Second street. The youth
gave the name OF John ]. C2-io, sales

The prisoners were taken from the
Elizabeth street station TO Headquarters
where detectives OF the homicide bureau
piled them with questions hour after
hour. taking advantage OF their weari-
ness TO extract unguarded replies or con-
tradictions, and continuing the inqulsi-
ton increasingly.
Carlo protested that he knew little
about the girls. although found in their
company. and that he knew nothing Of
their Chinatown friends
Both girls admitted visiting ing Cow

the day before he was murdered. Two
Chinese are said 70 have pointed out the
Miller girl as the blond who visited
ing Cow the night before his body was
found. Both white and Chinese witnesses
told the detectives Of the visit OF the
blond woman. Some Of the witnesses
stated that the blond woman was ac-
companied by a young white man.

tain to-day that they had captured the
long-sought murderer Of Elsie Sigel when
Detective Herbert nabbed a man who

showed that he conformed in every way
with the exception OF his height, which
was an inch shorter. and his teeth. A
ring vas found on the little finger Of his
left hand similar to the one which Elsie
Sigel had given 20 the Chinaman. The DIFF
ference in important details led the po-
lice to free him.

Treasurer Lombard Charged with
Forgery Pleads "Not Guilty"
While Lying in Bed.

birmingham, Mass, Oct. 20.-Prop-
ped up on pillows in his bed at his
home here, Town Treasurer John B.
Lombard pleaded not guilty to a
charge of forging two instruments,
purporting to be notes of the town,
amounting to $4,000, and waving the
reading of the complaint, was held in
$4,000 for the superior court.
Lombard, who has been i'll for sew.

courthouse, so the brief session OF
court was held in his own bedroom.
The two Boston brokers arrested in
connection with the case, Charles S.
Cummings and Edward A. Mead, were

spectively on charge of larceny.
The total outstanding securities Of

COLD STORAGE OF APPLES.

BY far the larger part OF the apples
grown in Iowa are of the fall varle-
ties. These do not keep well in ordi-
nary storage. As result the market
is glutted during the fall, while when
winter comes apples must be shipped
in al higns prices. For several years
the Horticultural Section of the Iowa
experiment Station has been expert
imenting with different methods oil
handling apples in cold storage
These experiments have shown that
fall apples when handled properly can
be kept all winter in cold storage. me
cost OF cold storage is not very high,
and by this means the season lor
home grown apples may be extended
until well along toward spring The
results of the experiments along TINS
line. together with full directions for
handling apples in cold storage, are
given in Bulletin No. l0S OF the Iowa
Experiment Station. Copies may be
obtained by addressing Prof. {. f.
Curtiss, Director. Ames, Iowa.

rHE BEST FED NATION.

Uncle Sam has "let out" his belt.
He is getting fat. Perhaps in sympa'
thy with President Taft. Perhaps be-
cause he is making more money.
During the present year the United
States has consumed more food OF all
classes by far than during 1906. This
is brought about chiefly by food con-
.servation by natural means. Basing
per capita statistics of the United
states and the biggest countries of
Europe on the consumption of canned
goods. the United States is pointed to
as the best fed of all nations.
Since the recent finding of Or. H.
wv. Wiley, Chief of the Bureau OF
Chemistry at Washington. and mem
Der of the Federal Board of Food and
Drug Inspection, that American can
ned goods contain no artificial color
ing or preservatives, the impression
many had gained through the agita-
ton against benzoate OF soda has
been corrected and the use of canned
goods has greatly increased.
Taking peas, tomatoes and corn as
the three leading vegetables, the sta
tistics show that during 1909 America
win eat close to S00.000000 cans OF
these varieties, while during 1906.
1907 and 1908 the average annual con-
sumption was only about 600,000.000
cans.
Return of prosperity TO all classes
in the United States is shown in a
measure by the fact that canned vege-
tables are gaining in popularity. Not
only do the figures point out that the
United States leads in the quantity of
food consumed, but it is also shown
that the sort of edibles now going to
the laboring and middle classes is
above the average in quality.
Relative to the preserved foods.
canned products and the like, the in
crease in their use IN the United
States during recent months is due to
the general spread OF the knowledge
among housewives that chemical pre-
servatives are not employed by the
American Gamers and that steriliza-
ton by heat after the products are
placed in air tight cans is the only
preservation plan in use today.
Thus having confidence in the pur
ity of the food it bays, the American
nation is now consuming greater
quantity and a better quality of edi-
bles than ever before.

plTTSDUaG IS BASEBALL MAD
HAS BIG PARADE CELEBRATING
THEIR TEAMS VICTORY.
Forbes Park Is Taxed to Its Full
Capacity-Ali Classes Of Citi-
zens Participate.

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct 19.--Pittsburg
was baseball mad last night, the time
officially set for the great celebration
in honor OF the Pittsburg baseball
club, winners of the worlds champion
ship.
Traffic along Fifth avenue in the
downtown section of the city was
abandoned early, the street car COM
pany running their cars by other
routes.
The various divisions of the great
parade began to gather early. Such
a parade was never seen In Pittsburg
before, and perhaps not in any other
city of the country. Led by Mayor
Magee and the members of his cabinet
and all the members of the Pittsburg
baseball club, the Fourteenth and
Eighteenth regiments OF the National
Guard of Pennsylvania, formed the
vanguard of the most unique assem-
blage that ever traversed the streets
of this city. Practically every polit-
ical club of Allegheny county was in
line as were also about 100 athletic
organizations, the members marching
in uniform. Each section of the city
constituted a division of the parade,
while the business men and various
trades unions marched in another
class. Every 'rooter" in this section
of the country had been publicly in
vited to participate in the celebration,
the newspapers of the city furnishing
bands and attending to the formation
of the baseball enthusiasts.
Forbes field was taxed to its capac-
ity, the great amphitheater being I'M
able to seat the multitude which COW
cred the playing field. Mayor Magee,
Congressman James Francis Burke
and other prominent citizens of the
city were among those who made ad-
dresses, each member of the ball club
being introduced to the vast crowd
sort. Mayor MCGEE presented each
player with a check for his share of
the receipts of the worlds series. and
pandemonium reigned at the park as
each man stepped to the platform to
receive the award. Charles (Babe)
Adams, the pitcher who led his team
mates to victory three times during
the great series, was the recipient of
a great ovation and beside the check
as his share of the receipts, was
given a purse of over $1,000 as testi-
monial of his great work.

lRfOaN:R EaaTlA MISSING
HE REPUDIATEs HIS CONFESS
SIoNS, THEN DISAPPEARS.
Man Who Revealed Operations OF
Graft Ring Was on Wayman's
Vas PAYROLL.

/ Chicago, Oct. 20.-A city wide
search for Nicholas ]. Martin,
private secretary to Alderman
Michael ("Hinky Dink") Kenna, who
disappeared following his reputation
of confessions made to States Attor'
ney Wayman, is being made by sleutss
from the prosecutors Office.
Additional revelations of the scope
of the confessions made by Martin ex-
plain the anxiety of States Attorney
Wayman to keep Martin in Chicago,
as well as the fright of the cabal that
is said to have raised $4,000 to In.
duce Martin to fee.
According to these revelations, Mar
tin in his confessions not only barred
the whole jury-fixing conspiracy, but
took the lid off the cauldron of First
ward graft and ballot frauds.
He is said to have spent several
weeks in the employ and on the pay
roll of the states attorneys office, go.
ing over in detail with Mr.. Wayman
and his aids the operations of the
graft ring that has been levying more
than 100000 annual tribute on the
all-night saloons, the resorts and the
concert halls of the Twenty-second
street vice district and in exposing the
operations of the election frauds by
which the First ward bosses have in
trenched themselves in power.
Mr. Wayman declared that he was
we'll satisfied as to the identity of the
men responsible for Martins disap
pearance and that if he did not soon
reappear he would take steps to have
the responsible parties, who are said
to be well-known politicians, indicted
on charges of interfering with. Justice
A quarrel over the division of graft
money collected from gamblers and
dives in portions of the First ward
precipitated Martins confessions, &C
cording to attaches of States Attor
ney Wayman's office. In fact, the
complete history of Martins comics
sion was revealed for the first time.
