"On the way my father revived lit

neck Then 1 beat him over the head
again until he was quiet. Just as
was about to throw the body into the
well he groaned and gave a long sigh.
This, according to the police, is part
of the signed confession of Benjamin
Smith, % years old, a farmer, now in
the Muncie jail. 1t was the climax of
a remarkable recital of murder.
Thursday night Smith, with blood on
his hands, staggered into the home of
Oscar Shaw and told a story of having
been waylaid by highwaymen.
Smiths father was mysteriously
missing and suspicious were aroused
which led to his arrest. Under exam

show the police where his father was.
He led the way to an abandoned
well and, pointing, said:
There he is"
From the old we'll the police took the

FOrbids Entrance of New Religious
Orders to Country Till After
Concordat Is Signed.

Madrid, Nov. 19.-Discussion Of the
paddock bill was begun in the cham
Der of deputies today. The Carlists op-
posed the measure. This bill, as orig
inally drawn forbade the entrance of
new orders until a revision of the con-
cordat had been accomplished or a def
mite law on the subject passed. The
senate adopted an amendment limiting
the period of interdictiOn to two years.
This was viewed as a concession to
the opposition by the premier.
The vatican has taken the position
that in view of the pending negotia-
tions, the government should not adopt
any legislation having direct bearing
on the difference that might be ad-
justed in a revision.

yield, insisting his program of religious
reform and liberty was matter who'll

cussion between Madrid and the Holy

One OF the latest reports received

interests of the Chicago packers in
Argentina is only partly known to
the public, but they admittedly own
two of the seven companies engaged
in the production Of export or cold
storage meat and are believed to
have at least secured a working un-
derstanding with several of the
others. They also have secured land
for the purpose Of establishing new
plants.

Storage company and the La Blanca
company. The former, since com

risen from a state Of insignificance
to that of the largest single producer
in the Argentine field.
Taken together. the La Plata and
the La Blanca companies last year
produced a third of Argentine's to-
tai output of cold storage beef and
almost as large proportion OF the
mutton lamb. Their rapid expansion
is indicated by the fact that Jointly
they have chartered all the space in

Argentine has been looked upon
