PLAN TO HELP BOYS.

PhiIanthropist viii Give Gent q Day
70 All Young Iowa Tsotstaiers.
To every boy in Iowa who. win take
q pledge to use neither tobacco or hq-
nor Samuel Saucerman, a wealthy
Des Moines resident, win give q dol
lar, a cent a day for three years and
another dollar at the end OF the three
years, says Des Moines dispatch. At
the same time he urges the boys who
accept his proposition to save the nick
els and dimes they would otherwise
have spent for tobacco and alcoholic
drink and put them with their account.
He has figured out that II the boys will
do this none will arrive at the age OF
twenty-one years without having
enough to take them through college
or give them a good start in life.
Mr.. Saucerman is reputed to be
worth $1,5OO,OO0. The new organixa-
ton he is perfecting to help boys is to
be known as 1.-THE trimmer band" To
demonstrate his earnestness he has de-
posted In the name of 1.-THE trimmer
band" 5000. which is drawing inter.

The plan as outlined by Mr.. Saucer
man y to take boys from the age Of
nine to sixteen and organize them into
plants or companies Of fifty or a hun
dred. He would have these boys hold
monthly meetings, at which time they
would discuss and be taught economy,
finance and how to earn money, clean
living and everything In line with In
dustry and morals. Each boy on join
ing the club viii receive 81. The boy
must deposit with his dollar 80 cents
to show good faith. Starting his bank
account with $3.50. each boy win 70
ceive penny per day for three years,
and at the end Of that period he win
receive an additional 81. This win
give him $12 IL he has not saved a
cent himself. He urges all boys to
save their nickels and dimes SO as to
be prepared to start life right.

go'ng to be content with accepting the
boys who win come to him. On the
contrary, he has hired out Of his own
pocket a state organizer, who is to
travel all over Iowa inducing boys to
do away with their bad habits and
start bank accounts at the Des Moines
philanthropists expense. J. b. Ham

were an inventive race, especially In
the matter Of labor saving machines.
Recognizing the drudgery Of hand
mills, they invented those whose mo-

into all the countries conquered by
their victorious armies. There is no

ASSAILANT ENDS OWN LIFE
AFTER SHOOTING WOMAN
DEAD-DISPUTE OVER BUSI-
NESS DEAL.
(By United Press Leased Wire.)

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
Los ANGELES, CAL, March 81.
Mrs. Mary Austin, a widow 80
years of age, was shot and killed
in her ranch home two miles south
of Burbank, early today by Au-
gust SchrOemer, farmer, 80
years old, who then took his own
life. The double tragedy is be-
Ieved to be in some way connected
with their business dealings.
Schroemer was married and the
father of several children. He
had made arrangements to enter
partnership with Mrs. Austin in a
dairy venture. He called at Mrs.
Austin's home early today, while
the widow and her son were eat
ing breakfast.
After breakfast young Austin
went to the barnyard to milk the
cows, while his mother and the
farmer engaged in an earnest con-
versation inside the house.
A few minutes after the youth
went to the barn he heard a shot
and his mother staggered out OF
the front door, crying, I'm shot
I'm shot,"
Schroemer followed her out OF
the door, gun In hand, and taking
careful aim, fired second bullet
into her body.
The second shot killed the won.
an instantly. Rushing back into
the house Schooner placed the
gun at his head and pulled the
trigger.

Funeral Services.
Promptly at 2 O'Clock the casket
was taken to the house chamber,
which was packed to the ceiling
with mourners. Rev. c. e. Todd
of the Methodist Episcopal church
of Olympia delivered the funeral
grafton. The services in the
house chamber lasted half an
hour and at 1880 the coffin was
borne out in front of the capitol
building where the guard was lin
ed up in waiting. Upon the ap-
pearance of the casket the order
"present arms" was given, the
band played and arms were
brought to order.
The procession formed with the
band in the lead, followed by the
military escort Of the coffin, the
clergy, the hearse, pall-bearers,
the members of the Cosgrove fam
lily In carriages, the eight COM
panies of the national guard, dele
cations from the various secret
orders, mourners in carriages and
those who followed the cortege on
foot.
The march to the cemetery was
slow, the band playing a solemn
dirge. Arriving % the grave, the
guard formed on one side facing
lit. The coffin was then carried
along in front of the guard to the
grave. The guard presented arms
to the coffin while the band play
ed an appropriate air. When
the coffin was placed on the grave
the music ceased and arms were
brought to order. At the COM
mand parade rest" officers, priv
ates and civilians bowed their
heads while the coffin was low
cred to its resting place. The
guard resumed attention and fir
ing squad, consisting Of one COM
pany, fired three rounds OF blank
cartridges over the grave, with
the muzzles Of their pieces ele-
vated.
Then came taps. The soldiers
quickly formed in columns and
marched time back to the capitol
building, The mourners follow
ed slowly in long struggling lines.
The march to the cemetery was
brilliant in It's colors of army and
secret society, but those who stood
and watched the long defile past,
lost all eye for the brightness with
a feeting glimpse of the black
gowned figures Of the mother and
daughter. There the sadness of
it all rang loud and clear. hearts

And so they laid Governor Co.'S

living could do for the dead was
done.

gathering at the depot. They

MISTER Y
in KLEIN
CASE

The belief that JOsua Klein will
never be sentenced was further
strengthened today by the state
ment OF Attorney George who de-
Tended Klein, to the effect that all
intention Of appealing the case has
been abandoned.
Attorney George stated also
that he did not expect any further
action to be taken in the case un-
til both the Tacoma girls, Miss
Rose Karasek and Miss Dora Sau-
vageot have returned home. As
was stated exclusively in the
Times Monday, both girls are now
en- route to Tacoma, and It ID be-
lieved that Klein sent the message
which started Miss Sauvageot on
her way homeward.
Klein was closeted with Judge
Easterday of the superior court
for nearly an hour yesterday in a
secret conference, and this is taken
to indicate that the court is in
terested in the return of the girls.
The whole affair so far as any
official statement is concerned Is
mysterious and even Prosecutor
McMurray seems to be in the dark
as to the meaning Of the delay
in sentencing Klein. Il
Mrs. Anna Karasek, mother of
Rose Karasek, who was staying at
Klein chalet at Amden, Switzer-
land, stated today that she had
not heard from her daughter for
several days. and that she did not
think Rose would come to Tacoma
until Saturday or Sunday next.
Miss karasek was in Spokane two
days ago, and dispatches say that
she left that city Sunday night.
Her present whereabouts is a mys-
terry. .

Capitol ThrOnged.

A guard of soldiers stood at at
tention about the flag draped
coffin and the long procession to
view the remains soon began.
Slowly they marched by, an un-
ending stream in two long lines,
that mounting in procession up
the steps on one side of the capitol
slowly crept forward to take a
halting step and one quick look
and Governor Cosgrove passed
forever from their view. All day
long the halls of the capitol
echoed with the shuffling of thou
sands of feet upon the tile floor,
while like statues In blue the
guard stood as immobile as he
over whom they stood guard.
Floral Tributes.
The floral tributes were the
height of the florists art and
their numbers were lost in their
Iprofusion. 1t was utterly impos-
sible to bank them about the
casket and they were piled in
heaps in the rooms Of the state
board of control.
All day yesterday children
brought their offerings Of wild
flowers caught almost as they
peeped above the sod. The for
ests were drawn upon for their
floral treasures in default of do
mestic flower beds. Potted palms
and set pieces filled the corridors
of the capitol. They came from
the friends of the family, the state
Iofficials, house and senate, the
lfraternal orders, the civic and po-
litical organizations of the state
until their disposition became one
of the most serious problems in
the arrangements.
G. A. r.. Veterans Attend.
About the capitol building there
was an air of gloom, that hush
that death requires of those who
live. The corridors were hung
| in black through which peeped
the folds of the flag under which
Governor Cosgrove as a patriotic
boy served during the Civil war.
and not the least conspicuous
among the dark clothed mourners
was the blue of '61 and '65. The
gray old veterans with their decor
ations on their breasts stood in
silent pathetic groups communing
over another old comrade who was
now marching with that vast army
under the black banner of death.
