abuse.
He said that after being kept in a
cell "a hours without food, drink or
sleep he was taken before the head
of the Homicide Bureau and mauled

stand.

MILK
As PFeSGrVatiVe To Keep
Things Fresh

Chicago, ILL.,, April S-Fresh, ripe
ags from California served on the
breakfast tables of Chicagoans and
dead bodies so preserved as to shame
the efforts of the ancient Egyptians
with their mummifying process are
only two of the results promised
from preparation of skinned milk
which the originator, DR.. o. Henry
Nowak of Austin, calls "Galo" and
which, he declares, will revolutions
ize many industries. Some of the
other qualities claimed for the pre-.
paration are:
Railroad ties treated with 1t be-
come imperishable.
Applied to patent leather shoes, it
prevents the patent expiring, not a
crack ever appearing on the smooth
surface.
The most porous brown paper be-
comes water tight under its action.
An indelible writing fluid imper-
yious to acids, is a product of the
preparation.
Evaporated and compressed it be-
comes an artificial ivory, which de-
fies detection.
AS a glue, it is without an equal
for it's adhesive qualities.
DIR. Nowak, whose laboratory is at
5707 South Boulevard, Austin, has
served both the Austrian and the
United States government. He de-
clares that, after twenty years re-
search, he has progressed so far as
to be positive of what he claims. In
his laboratory yesterday he exhibit
ed specimens in proof of some of his
assertions.
In DR.. Nowak's laboratory hang
large pieces of beef, leg Of lamb
and fish which were dipped in the
skinned milk last Wednesday. The
temperature in the laboratory has
been that of the outer air, but each
piece has the appearance and odor
of the fresh meat.
Every day the chemist dips doz-
en- eggs, laid in the same day, and
marks each with the date. One of
these, marked Jan. 8, 1909, being fif-
teen months old, was opened yester-
day. 1t could not have been distin-
guished from an egg laid yesterday.
DIR. Nowak displayed Spanish mack
erel which had been preserved for
weeks. Fish eaten six weeks after be-
ing dipped was said to retain it's or
iginal flavor.

DON'T WORRY
Won't Know When We Pass
Through Comets Tail
Cincinnati Astronomer Says
No Need OF Alarm

Cincinnati o. April S-"There need
be no apprehension on the part of the
earth'5 inhabitants that any disas-
trous results will follow our passing
through the tail of Halleys comet on
May 49," said Professor ]. G. Porter,
astronomer at the Cincinnati observ-
atory, yesterday. in fact, nobody
can tell whether or not the tail will
be long enough to reach the earth.
AS near as astronomers can get to it
the tail of Halley's comet is composed
of very rare gas, or air, and even
if this should envelope the earth there
would not be any knowledge of the
fact by the average person"
During the past several months,
Professor Porter and his assistants at
the observatory have been working
constantly in an attempt to compute
various conditions relating to the
comet. They have found that it will
pass between the earth and the sun
on May l8.
This phenomenon" said Professor
Porter, will occur sumo time during
the afternoon in this part of the globe.
do not think there will be any per-
ceptible feeling to our senses that
anything strange is taking place. Even
If the comets tail were warm, we
should attribute this to the natural
heat of the day. II the head of the
comet, which is composed of solid
particles and gas should strike the
earth, there would, indeed, be dis
aster. This, of course, is not to be
feared. In 1861, the earth passed
through the tail of comet, and there
are some records which declare that
there was a peculiar phosphorescence
apparent in the air at that time. be-
lieve this is all imagination. At the
observatory we are making prepara'
tions to photograph the comet when
it comes nearest to the earth"

PreSt. PeirCe Announces Plans
Are Under Way
Ground Will Be Broken On
The Afternoon
OF Commencement Day In
Month Of June

Gambler o.. April S-Since the
burning of the library on last New
Years day, considerable conjecture
has been indulged in by the student
body as to what action would be TAX
en- to replace this loss. This conjec-
ture was put at rest last night when
President Peirce of the college in an
address before the student assembly
unfolded tentative plan for new
library, which had been agreed upon
at a recent special meeting of the
board of trustees in Columbus.
Mr.. c. F. Schweinfurth, Kenyon's
consulting architect, has presented
elevations and floor plans showing
what the new building will be like.
It's exterior is to resemble Hanna hall,
one of the dormitories, and will be
built of stone. The floors will be
steel and tile and the whole struc-
ture tireproof throughout.
The first floor will be taken up by a
hall, an Office for the librarian, a
reading-room for reference work and
magazine reading-room, which will
be used also as students trophy
room On the second floor will be
two seminary rooms, where professors
may meet advanced classes, and a
larger room for meetings of the board
of trustees, faculty, student organiza-
tions and the like.
The cost of the proposed building
will be between $4,000 and $4,000.
OF this nearly half has been secured.
Eight thousand dollars has been col
lected from insurance on the old
building; Andrew Carnegie has prom
ised $4,000 provided the college raises
certain amount and the remainder is
counted upon from the alumni. Rather
half of the required amount has al
ready been subscribed and as Presi.
dent Peirce is bringing every influ.
ence to bear upon the alumni, the re-
naming dollars are expected before
very long.
1t is planned to break ground for
the new building on the afternoon OF
commencement day, next June, and
the new structure will be known as
Alumni Library"

care to live any longer, James Neville,
aged 20 years, living at the home of
A. 3. starner, near 8addow Pass, four
miles north Of here, died Thursday

the laudanum failed to work he would
cut his throat with the razor Death
at last resulted about nine o'clock

EXCITING
Runaway Occurs On EaSl
Vine Street

An exciting runaway took place on
East Vine street Friday morning at
about eight o'clock when a horse,
standing near the Guaranty Savings
Bank and Trust Co. took fright at
some object and started to run. The
animal started out e. Vine St and ran
into the Adams Express wagon which
was standing in front of the office.
The shafts on the express wagon were
both broken off but the odd feature
of the accident was that neither the
frightened horse or the horse hitched
to the eXpess wagon were injured in
any way. The horse was caught by
by-standers and the only damage done
was the breaking of the shafts Of the
express wagon The buggy drawn by
the runaway horse was only slightly
damaged.

JUMPED TO DEATH
When Told He Had An InCuFabIe
Disease

New York, April S-Despite the fact
that he was closely watched by his
mother and two sisters, Harry Cohan,
43 years old, diamond broker, who
learned last week from his physician
that he could never be cured of loco
motor ataxia, dived through his bed
room window on the fifth floor OF the
fashionable apartment house at SAG
Lenox avenue today and was dashed
to death in the areaway.
Cohan tried to jump from his win
dow on Tuesday, but his mother and
sisters restrained him. Mrs. Cohan
and her daughters were all in the
room with him To-Day. The girls
went to see some one at the front
door, and Mrs. Cohan jumped up to
answer the telephone.
She had no sooner left the room
than Cohan arose from his chair and,
standing a few feet from the window,
made leap that carried him crashing
through the window and headlong
through the air shaft to his death.
AS she placed the telephone receiv-

noise of breaking glass, and, letting
the instrument drop from her hand,
she rushed into her sons bed room.
