why did Policeman Collier kin Capt.
Mathews?''
Various answers are made to the oues-
tion. 1t is generally known by members
OF the department that a feud existed
between Collier and Mathews.
Capt Mathews was known in police
circles as a strict disciplinarian.
A story gained circulation yesterday
that Collier was only nineteen years old
when he Jeined the force. The report car
ried with 1t the statement that Collier
had given the wrong date as to his
birth.
day Have Had Suspicion
Police officials said that If Capt. Math-
ews had suspicion that Collier had
misstated his age. he would have made
thorough inquiry.
In this connection Commissioner West
last night made the announcement that
he had investigated and had ascertained
that Collier was born on January 4. 1880.
He said Collier had been appointed 10
the force when he was twenty-five years
old. The Commissioner said the effort TO
dispute Golfers age had not favorabiy
impressed him.
Collier is alleged TO have been a drink
ing man, and had been brought to trial
for minor offenses.
Policemen of the Fifth precinct. with
whom Collier had been associated for
the last four months. say he had been
called into the captains Office and repri-
manded several times for going into
saloons while on duty. These accusations
and the statement concerning alleged mis-
representation of his age give rise 10 the
theory that Collier believed his position
in jeopardy and are supposed TO have so
worked on his mind as 20 prompt him 70
do the shooting.
Night of the Murder.
On Friday night Collier was supposed
TO report TO the precinct for duty At 6
o'clock In the afternoon he sent a tele-
phone message saying he was sick. and
asking to be excused. Capt Mathews
appeared much irritated and ordered Col
lier TO come 20 the station house to see
him, and prove he was too in for duty
About an hour later the telephone rang
again. Capt Mathews answered and was
heard to answer questions in an angry
voice Hall an hour later Collier appeared
at the station house and killed Capt
Mathews

 Will Be Amply Financed.

The preliminary work necessary to | a successful session of the Seven teenth National Irrigation s congre ss which is to be held at Spokane, Aug. I9 to Ii, inclusive, is being rapidly | pushed by the officers who have the matter in charge. A copy of a letter from Arthur Hooker, secretary of the | board of control, to President George Barstow was recently received by B. 4. Fowler, secretary of the congress. In part it reads:
 March 16.
 The state legislature has passed the appropriation of $30,O0O and We have good reasons to believe the governor vii sign the same. With this assur- ance of the necessary funds with which to carry on the work, the pre- paration of a strong program, such as is now under way, and the large attendance which our correspondence with all sections of the country in diCates. We feel that the opportunities are brighter than ever for making this the most successful congress ever yet held
 Mir. Hooker has been travelling over the state of Washington in the in- terest of the congress and recently spent a week in the Yakima valley working up interest in the congress. Meetings held by him in the valley towns were attended by over 1000 peo- pie and that section of the country agreed to attend the convention in body.
 The official call to the congress has not yet been issued and the number of those from the Salt River valley who will attend cannot be success fully estimated at present.
 The officers of the congress are, George Barstow, RarstOw, Texas. president: B. A. Fowler, secretary: w. A. Beard, Sacramento. Cal, chairman of the board of governors: k. ln- singer, Spokane, chairman of the board of control: Arthur Hooker, Spokane, secretary of the board of control.

yZf- IEa- AFTER THE GRIPPE Vinol Restored This Mans
 Strength

Several years ago was attacked by 6 severe case of grippe, which left me with hacking cough, soreness in my chest, and bronchitis. I took nearly every kind of cough syrup sold on the market, besides medicine given me by physicians.
 I received no permanent relief until my druggist asked me to try Vinol. and after taking three bottles I was entirely cured.
 I believe Vinol to be the greatest blessing ever offered to the public. as it does what is claimed for it." R. l. R. Hicks. Maplesville, Ala.
 The reason Vinol cures chronic coughs. colds and pulmonary troubles is because it contains tonic iron and all the healing and body building ele- ments of cod liver oil but no oil.
 Vinol is also unexcelled as a strength builder for old people, delicate children. weak and rundown persons, and after sickness.
