-FOUR JAILED FOR
WOMAN 5 MURDER
School Teacher Is Shot Dead in Her
Home by Burglar-Companion Is
Seriously Wounded.

SPRINGFIELD. Mass, April AL.
though four suspects are held in the
central station on suspicion of having
guilty knowledge OF the murder OF
MISS Martha b. Blackstone, 80. and
the serious wounding OF Miss Harriet
DOW, 20. at the Dow home on Round
Hill last night. II Is by no means
certain that the guilty man is In Gus
tody. The murder, which followed an
attempted holdup and robbery, was
one OF the most brutal in the city's
history, but there is absolutely no
clue TO the identity OF the man. The
women are so frightened that none
OF them are certain they could identl-
~ the murderer II caught. The po-
lice have ordered that all unknown
men found in the city be rounded up
ana compelled TO give an account of
themselves, while all surrounding
towns have been asked to aid In the
roundup.
Mrs. Sarah X. Dow. her two daugh-
ters, Harriet and Lucy. and Miss
blackstone, were seated at a table In
the parlor when masked man walked
In from an adjoining room. He had an
automatic revolver in his hand and de-
manded money.
Mrs. Dow gasped that she had no
money. Miss Blackstone rose, scream
Ing, and started 10 run from the room.
AS she did the man fired, the bullet
entering her left breast, penetrating
the heart. He then fired at Miss Har-
riet Dow as she started toward the

seemingly not more than 81 or 22 and
his face was covered with black
handkerchief, and SLOUGH hat drawn
over his eyes.

present on any account be told of the
deception and an occasional visit from
Clifford would be we'll So Clifford
was sent for. He came and went and
came and went a number of times.
Mrs. Wilkinson improved rapidly, hav-
ing, as she supposed, her son with her
again, but the matter of breaking to
her Elmer's death and the deception
that was being played upon her was
put off from time to time. Mean
while she was consulting an oculist,
who told her that as soon as she had
recovered sufficient nerve vigor to
submit to an operation he could re-
store her eyesight. She told him that
she wished the operation performed at
once
The position for Dora and Captain
Clifford was becoming critical Dora
dreaded the consequences of her act
OF mistaken kindness on her own and
her mothers account, and Clifford
dreaded it through sympathy. The
doctor would not permit them to make
q confession before the operation
since it would render Mrs. Wilkinson
the less able to bear up under the
surgeon.
Meanwhile Harold escaped from his
aunt and suddenly appeared at home.
Captain Clifford would rather have en-
countered a regiment of Spaniards,
and Dora would infinitely have pre-
fered a mad bull. To make matters
worse, Harold surprised the suppositi-
tious brother and sister by bursting
unQnnnllnNad into tho xxyH&o
they happened to be when he arrived.
A common object, a secret sympathy,
had done their work Clifford was
sitting beside Dora with his arm
around her waist.
ooh, sisg cried the boy. 'Tm going
to tell mamma on you"
Clifford caught him half way up the
staircase and brought him back.
How would you like to go to camp

Selling the boys hand, the captain
drew him to the front door.
Keep him as long as you can"
whispered Dora.
MAY 1 drown himY' asked the cap
tain In return.
The case was too serious for even a
smile from Dora, but she wished that
the boy might be temporarily rendered
inanimate.
Clifford had Harold with him half
a day when it occurred to him to take
him back to his aunt. A telephone to
Dora secured the address and her ac-
quieScence.

Senator Reveridge,s Great Speech

Senator Beveridge's Great Speech.
Senator Beveridge, at the Indiana
state republican convention last week
made q noteworthy speech. He is one
Of the most prominent insurgents in
the senate, as well as one Of it's ablest
orators, and his prominence and In
fiuence in his own state are beyond
all question.
At the state convention Beveridge
came out boldly in denunciation Of the
present tariff law, not mincing his
words nor qualifying his criticisms of
the vicious act. And, what is more,
his speech was applauded enthusiastic
ally by the convention. the sympathy
of the audience being clearly with the
speaker. AS strong as was the desire
for harmony in the republican ranks,
there was no disposition on the part
Of Beveridge to allow that piece Of
legislation to go unrebuked.
Although the Payne-Aldrich-Smoo
tariff law was ignored in the platform
that was adopted, and the administra-
IiOA VI dlI NGo
in a general way. the prominent feat
ure of the convention was the insur-
gent speech denouncing the principal
thing that has been done during the
present administration, that which has
received the largest amount of atten-
ton throughout the country
The democrats who voted for high
schedules and helped to push the tariff
law through congress came in for a
share Of the senator's criticism, and
they deserve it beyond all doubt. Dem
ocratic principles are in direct antag.
onism to the protective system and
there is no excuse for and can be no
justification of the action of those
democrats who, disregarding true DEM
ocratic doctrine, helped the standpat
republicans to put through congress
this most restrictive and injurious
tariff bill

For q Sane Fourth.

A commendable and very sensible
agitation has been begun in the state
of Missouri by Governor HadIey. He
advocates a sane celebration of the
Fourth IN his state.
Other governors might well take
this matter UP and at least issue proc
lamations giving timely warning that
insane Fourths bring not only destruc-
ton of property, but appalling loss of
life and personal injury.
The glorious Fourth would be far
more glorious if far less CORY.
The idea that we must have a
Fourth of July celebration which
wrecks property and sheds blood is
barbarous.
To make the celebration sane would
not detract from its meaning, but
create interest in it. # would teach
more Of the glorious history which the
celebration celebrates. 1t would incul-
cate in the minds OF the young not
thoughts Of meaningless tumult, noise,
destruction, fires and explosions, but
drive home lessons of liberty and pa
triotism
The movement started by the gov
ernor Of Missouri should become ma
tion-wide.

Dora made one grave mistake. She
failed to inform the oculist of the all
important secret. Mrs. Wilkinson told
him that she would like to surprise
her son and daughter by having the
operation performed without their
knowledge and appear to them en-
dowed with her natural eyesight. He
fell in with her plan and assisted her
to arrange matters to that end. Mrs.
Wilkinson suggested that her supposed
son and her daughter should visit
Dora's grandmother, who had heard OF
the young soldiers return and was
anxious to see him. Dora, realizing
that she could explain matters to her
grandmother, accepted the invitation
for herself and Clifford. The visit was
made and the grandmother let into the
secret.
AS soon as the pair had gone on the
visit Mrs. Wilkinson telephoned her oc-
ulist, who sent a nurse and a carriage
for her. She was driven to his Office
and an operation successfully perform
ed. The patients eyes were bound up,
and she was told not to take-the band
age or till the next afternoon. Then
she was sent back home In care Of the
nurse, who was to remain with her till
the bandage was removed.
The next afternoon the surprise that
had been planned by Mrs. Wilkinson
was to take place. The couple that
at 4 o'clock, and Mrs. Wilkinson was
to take of the bandage upon their ar
rival. A few minutes before 1t was
removed, and when a carriage rolled
up 10 the sidewalk Mrs. Wilkinson was
near the front door ready to spring
into her sons aEms when he entered.
Suddenly the door was thrown open,
and the young officer and Dora enter
ed. Mrs. Wilkinson was about 70
spring into Clfford's arms when she
saw that he was not her son. She
drew back.
"why, motheri" exclaimed Dora,
turning white.
"who is this gentleman expected
operation and can see quite well. 1
wished to surprise my boy"
Clifford saw that the time had come
for him TO rise to the occasion.
Madam he said, 81 am your sons
friend. / am more than that. am,
I trust, to take your sons place. to
love you and cherish you as your own
boy would do were he here with US.
But he is not here. He died for his
country and asked me on his deathbed
to tell you that his last thoughts were
OF the one he loved best in all the
worid-his mother"
1t was a sad ending to the poor wo-
mans surprise. The blow, If not sof
tened at the time, was rendered in the
end more endurable by a devotion on
the part of the young soldier to his
friends and his wife's mother that last
ed until that mother was called to join
her own son.

A pastor at Atlanta, Ga, has re-
signed his charge In disgust because
two of his deacons advertised that
they would engage in prize fight in
the church as a prelude to the serv-
ices, his Indignation not being moli-
fed by their subsequent explanation
that they never meant to fight and
had made the announcement merely
to draw a crowd. 1t really mattered
little whether they meant to fight or
not. A selfrespecting minister has no
business in a church which has such
persons for deacons.

The Tariff and Beef.

Judge Samuel H. Cowan, who is at.
torney for the Texas Cattle associa.
ton, and speaks as an attorney In its
interest, says: 1.-THE American people
need never hope for cheap meat
again. Yet in the next breath he
admits that if the tariff were taken off
Mexican cattle it would open the
southern country to the importation of
the Mexican products" This, he says,
would break the market, but it would
also "break great many men in the
cattle business" This dreaded break
age could not occur, of course, with
out cheapening the price of meats.
Then, again, If the tariff were taken
off the cattle of Canada and Argentina
a further cheapening of meats would
be the certain result.
Besides, the attorney of the cattle
association overlooks the fact that
there are vast regions of this planet
fit for pasturage that as yet are hardly
trodden by a hoof of cattle and that
at no distant day promise to be COW
cred by immense herds. At the same
time the tendency to substitute other
wholesome food will be to lessen the
consumption Of meat and diminish its
cost. This globe of ours and its pro-
ductive capacity are by no means so
small as many wise people of the type
OF Judge Cowan appear to imagine.
But for the laws that encourage
greed and rapacity, meats would be
much cheaper than they are now with
out breaking" cattle raisers in Texas
or anywhere else.
