Leigh Rhodus, the candy bandit,

Rhodus. who is wanted in Chicago
as the slayer Of DR.. Michaelis and Of

station the first story which he has
made public of his early years.
IL was not a story OF poverty and
priVatiOns. or of obstacles greater than
the ordinary man has to overcome.
Leigh RhOdus appears to have had a
good home, so far as food clothing and
shelter went. But what he did make
clear was that no one seemed inter

pleased because no one seemed TO care,
and that. finding others Indifferent to

Then I saw how easy it would be TO

Of jobs here and started the police

daytime and look for work, and it was
too late to quit"
Asked about his fondness for candy,
RhOdus remarked, "Oh, / only took
box here and there. when there was
plenty OF time TO take it"
To Chief of Detectives Ryan he has
explained that he found the candy
pilfering a good way TO win a dis
tinctiVe reputation. and to make fu-
ture victims more likely 10 yield to his
demands.
''The declaration that his wife never
knew of his crimes does not agree
with what the wife herself has told
the police. She says she knew what
he was doing In Chicago and here. but
was unable TO prevail on him 10 stop,
and loved him too much to inform on
him.

WATER PRESERVES
ALL KINDS OF fruit
English Use No Chemicals in
the Cooking for
Preservation.

London. Nov. 13.-Preserve your
fruit in pure water only. 1t is by far
the simplest and best methOd-and
also quite new.
A magnificent display OF all sorts
of fruit preserved in this way, with
out sugar or any chemical preserva-
tive, is the chief novelty OF the dahlia
exhibition which has opened at the
Royal Botanic gardens.
There can be seen and purchased
glass jars containing the most luscious.
appetizing fruit. all of which has been
bottled with water as the sole pre-
! servative. Yesterday E. F. Halves,
secretary Of the National Dahlia sOcie-
" explained the secret of this sim
pie yet extremely effective process.
The great beauty of this new
method is its simplicity.
How TO Preserve Fruit.
First select your fruit, taking care
TO pick it when nearly ripe-just be-
fore il becomes soft. in fact.
TOP and tail the fruit when neces-
sary Then, after thoroughly clean
ing it, place it gently in glass jar.
on no account must the fruit be
pressed down or crushed.
Now fill the jar with ordinary pure
water and place il, uncapped, in a
large saucepan or similar vessel. which
should contain sufficient water to
reach but not cover the rim OF the
glass jar.
Now heat gradually-over a gas
fire for preference-untila tempera-
ture of $50 degrees Fahrenheit (52 de-
grees below boiling point is reached.
Keep at this temperature for from If
teen TO twenty minutes (the harder
the fruit the longer the time) then
remove the jar and cover at once with
an alright cap.
This is done by placing a ring OF
India rubber on the top of the jar.

it,

denses the pressure OF the outer air

Chicago. July POL G Rawn, presi-
dent Of the Mono Railroad company.
2 well known railroad man, was shot
and killed by burglar at his home
in Winnetka, a suburb Of this city, this
morning. The assassin escaped.
Rawn was awaked by his wife and
despite her protests he went down
stairs to Investigate the noise. Two
shots were heard and Rawn was found
dead. Jimmy" marks were found at
the door.
The discovery Of blood stains on the
sidewalk and the fact that one shot
was fired from Rawn's revolver lead
the police to believe that the burglar
was wounded Mrs. Rawn said she
heard two shots. She thinks her hus
