ROAST BEEF MARKET FOR
BRIT0NS SHIFTS SOUTH

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-Britons are
ceasing to look for their SUPPLY of "the
roast beef of old England" and are
turning more and more to Argentina
for meats and cattle.
r. N. Bartlettan, consul general at
Buenos Ayres, informed the depart
ment of commerce and labor today
that the traffic in beef from Argentina
to England was growing rapidly. He
also reported that prominent English
ship owners and Argentine cattle rails
ers have organized a company which
will undertake to ship supplies of
chilled meat regularly each week from
the River Plata to London and Man
chester. This trade, it is expected.
eventually will cut heavily into this
country's meat exports unless the mat
ter is Immediately taken up by the
interested concerns.
That the new British Argentina cor
poration is in earnest is evidenced by
the fact that work has already begun
on nine fifteen-knot refrigerator
steamers which will be added to the
fleet already at it's disposal.

GIRL FIGHTS TO
AVOID ASSAULT
YOUNG WOMAN OF CAIRO Is
BRUTALLY MURDERED
EVIDENCES SHOW STRUGGLE WAS
TERRIFIC ONE
Authorities Believe More Than One
Person Was involved in Deed
Which Cost Victim
Her Life
[By Associated Press. ]

CAIRO, ILL.,, Nov. 9.-Evidences that
Miss Annie Pelley, Cairo shop girl,
fought through a terrific struggle be-
fore succumbing to brutal assailants
last night were discovered today when
the authorities were confronted with
the task of solving the mystery of her
murder.
Bits of torn clothing strewed the all
leyway in which children found her
disfgured corpse, the mute evidences
of the girls love for her life and pur-
ity revealing she fought against her
murderers for two blocks.
That her fight was destined to be a
losing one was evidenced by the care
fully prepared gag and the heavy
cloth bands with which her cries for
aid were stifled and her strength over
come.
Miss Pelley was a country girl Of
unusual strength and the authorizes
are inclined to believe that more than
one person was involved in the attack
on her.
Four negroes, woman named
Green and three men-Will James,
Arthur Alexander and viii Thomas
were arrested tonight and are being
held as a result of bloodhounds fol-
lowing a trail to Mrs. Green's house.
The first two dogs on the scent fol-
lowed the trail to the negroes house.
On a second trail they ended at the
same place. Three bloodhounds
brought over from Wickliff, KY, were
put on the scent later and wound up
at the Green cottage and for six sue
cessive trials the dogs went to the
same place.
Two more bloodhounds arrived mere
tonight and will be placed on the scent
tomorrow. Mayor George Parson, who
offered a reward of 5000 early in the
day, increased 1t to $1,000 later, and
a large fund is being subscribed by
the citizens in addition.
Evidence indicates Miss Petty was
attacked in front of her home and
dragged nearly block and half to
an alley. y
The victim of the crime was "a years
old, She came here a few months ago
from Anna, ILL.,, and has been living
with a married sister. Because she
frequently passed the night with girl
friends there was no fear felt by her
relatives when Miss Pelley failed to
return home last night She was on
her way to take a car home from her
work in a dry goods store when last
seen by friends, and 1t is thought the
crime was committed early in the
evening. at least twelve hours before
the body was found.

BERLIN, Nov. 9.-Count Won Bern
storff's address on Germany's world
policy before the American Academy
of Political and Social Science at Phil

That portion of the declaration re-

Of the imperial policy than had ever
been made previously authoritatively

takes this step in America, it is de-

PENSION
BILL FOR
TEACHERS
City and County School
superintendent, in Con-
vention at Capital, Con
slider Introducing Such a
Measure in Legislature.
TIMES BUREAU
IN STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis. Nov. S.-The city and
county school superintendent of In
diana. who are now holding their an
nual convention in this city. are con
sidering the idea Of introducing a bill
in the next legislature providing for
the creation of a pension fund for
school teachers. The plan has been
under consideration by the superin-
tendents for year having been placed
in the hands of a committee at last
years convention, and the committee
has made its report at this meeting.
Under the proposed plan fund would
be created by accepting gifts. devisees.
requests and such other donations as
might come to the fund; and also from
the levying on all school teachers in
the state of an assessment. This as
sessment would be fixed at one per cent
of the annual salary of the teacher
and one per cent of any pension receiv-
ed from the fund by any teacher. The
fund would be further supported by an
apportionment out of the regular state
school funds.
The benehciaries would include any
teacher. teacher-clerk, supervisor or
superintendent in any school supported
in whole or in part by public moneys
This would include presidents of state
educational institutions and county
superintendent
The amount Of pension paid to any
beneficiary would be one per cent of
the average salary of the applicant for
the FIVE years Immediately preceding
his application multiplied by the num-
Der of years he has been in the service
This would be an annual pension To
obtain disability pension the teacher
must have been in the service at least
fifteen years To get a retirement pen
sion the applicant shall have been
teacher for at least thirty-five years
at least so years of age
There is some opposition to the pen
sion plan, but it is believed some ac-
ton will be taken looking to the in
production Of bill at the next session
Of the legislature.

Fire Engine Purchased for
Protection.



Clark Station, Ind. Nov. 9.-The big
and beautiful forests are almost con-
tinuously ablaze. not because of their
beautiful autumn colors but because of
real fires that rage in them.
The origin of most of these fires are
unknown although it is believed that
some OF them are started by sparks
from trains. Others are undoubtedly
due to camp fires which are made
nightly BIZ tramps and hobocs So
frequent have been the fires that the
people, especially those in the outlying
territories, are apprehensive of great
danger. Several houses have already
been seriously threatened ana were
saved only by the utmost efforts of
neighbors.
Those In the outlying districts are
not assured of this protection as a
fire is likely to start at any time in
the night and burn down the house
without tie neighbors being aware of
the disaster
Owing to the constant danger in
which the community finds itself there
has been some talk Of buying chemi-
cal fire extinguisher and organizing a
volunteer fire department.
