Not for "Pork Barrel"
At the same time Mr.. Taft made it
plain that he would not stand for any
plan to make a pork barrel" of the
project. He said he opposed any
such general bond issue of $500,O00,-
900 or $1,O00.OOO,OOO for waterways
improvement, the money to be cut
up and parceled out to different sec
tfons. He declared that the improve

It's a grand thing if it is true, but
there are enough Swedish people in
this city to see that any person OF that
nationality who may die in destitute
circumstances is properly buried.
The story from Des Moines is as
follows:
carl A. Anderson Of Chicago has
written to all of the coroners through
out the country notifying them that
he has established a. fund fo- the
burial of all Scandinavians whose rel
| atives are dead and whose bodies are
doomed to be turned over by the state
board of health to some medical col
leee for dissection. Coroner Newlen
+ received the letter from the Chlcagoan

/ reason for this move.

/ he. in company with his twin brother,
had come to this. country to make
! living and earn name for them-
selves. They had staid by each other
! for several years when dispute be-
tween the two sent his brother to the
far west. Anderson remained in Chi
cago. where in the course of time ne
has built fortune that has made him
more than independent. Only a few
J weeks ago he received a letter from
a coroner. or man having the sane
name as his brother, was about TO De
turned over to some medical schoc.
Andersop's first act was to telegraph
message claiming the body, but for
some unknown reason the message
never reached the authorities and the
BODY was turned over to the medical
school Receiving no answer TO MS
message, Anderson determined TO N
vestigate for himself. When ne ar
rived at the little Wyoming town he
was only q day or two late. The BODY
! had been turned over to the msdica
school and was being used by the stu
dents for their own uses.

of the fund is perhaps the only on
of its kind in the entire country ant

WHAT BECAME
OF HIS WHISPERS
Another Mystery in the Carmichael
Case Which May Never be
Solved.

Burlington Gazette: Another mys-
terry, perhaps as deep and impene'
trable as the motive for the murder OF
Gideon Browning in the little church
near Battle Run, Mich, is contained
in the question OF what became of
the murderer's whiskers, or where did
Rev. John Carmichael lose his beard?
BARRIERS in four different towns, with
several other shops To hear from, pos
itively declare that they separated
Carmichael from his whiskers on last
Thursday and Friday. They are so
positive about it that they would go
on the witness stand and swear to the
truth of their statements.
In these shops the Police Gazette
lies unread, and the current gossip is
neglected for the all-absorbing topic

of the Carmichael shave.

of the Carmichael shave.
S. E. Sharkey, barber in the Ho-
tel Keokuk shop in Keokuk, says he
is positive that he shaved Carmichael
last Friday morning about 81 o'clock.
Carmichael came into the shop and
placed his suit case against the. wall
and while he was being shaved, made
enquiries about trains leaving Keo-
kuk.
Kelley Shambeline. barber en-
ployed in Jones barber shop in this
city. when shown a picture of Car
michael said that he was the same
man who had been shaved by him last
Friday morning. Mr. Shambeline
said there could be no mistake about
it: 1t is claimed that Carmichael
stopped at Wagner's hotel last Thurs
day night.
Another story comes from Chicago
that the fugitive was shaved in that
city. The name of the barber who
performed the job or the location of
the shop could not be learned.
Cotton Calvert, a barber of Joliet.
Ills, will stake. his life that he gave
/ Carmichael a clean businesslike shave
/ last Thursday afternoon. He has three
4 witnesses to prove his assertion, ac-
I cording to statement in an Aurora
| paper, which claims Carmichael pass
! ed through that city on train No. IS
| last Friday morning
A report comes from Quincy that
Carmichael was seen in that city last
| Friday morning. He stepped into the
| Quincy Wing office and asked for a
morning paper which contained story
of the murder for which he was want
/ ed. While. there is no positive evi
dence to that effect, II is quite likely
i that he stepped across the street to a
barber shop and read the paper at his
leisure, while waiting to be shaved.
/ As it was shown that Carmichael
was in Donnellson and Mt Pleasant
news from the barber shops in these
towns is eagerly awaited
This all leads up to the theory that
Carmichael, having spent the missing
s1S5 referred to in his note as being
pinned to his night shirt, in a vair
attempt to get satisfactory shave
tried it himself and accidentally cui
his throat. This clue is respectively
submitted to the press auxiliary of the
local detective department
