FARMER HELD As
SLAYER or THREE
Body Of Missing Hired Man Found
Others Sought-Own Son Is
Chief Accuser.

Fowler. Ind.-RiyaIing in many de.
tails the notorious Guinness case at
LaDorte. year-old murder was dis
closed here. and John W. Poole. a
wealthy farmer, is under arrest
charged with the crime.
Emory Poole, the eighteen-year-C,d
son of the accused farmer, discovered
the dismembered body of Joseph KEN
per, a farm hand, who disappeared
months ago, and is leading the search
for the bodies of two other farm
hands, Charles Clark and Charles
Mack, who disappeared mysteriously
about two years ago.
Poole's wealth is variously esti-
mated at from $4,000 to S75, 700. I'm
til last Saturday he lived with his
wife, son and daughter at his farm,
about four miles southeast of Fowler.
At the time Kemper disappeared
he had gone hunting with young Poole,
who is his fathers accuser. Kemper
returned to the farm ahead of the
boy, and when the latter arrived he
found his father in a state of high ex-
element and spattered with blood.
The following day the elder Poole
is declared to have butchered two
hogs in the kitchen, scattering more
blood around the place The son sus-
pected Poole. and about a month ago
caused his arrest fearing that he
would murder members of his fam.
lily.
Failure to find the body caused his
release because proof of Kemper's
death was lacking, and the son has
been searching for the body ever
since. He found it in a field half a
mile from the house and the offal
from the hogs killed in the kitchen
was found on top of the body.
About fifteen years ago Poole shot
another farmer, named Quigley, but
escaped the penitentiary by being de-
clared insane. The son notified Sher-
if Shackleton and the latter, accom-
panied by Town Marshal John Bow
man, arrested Poole near his other
farm at Rensselaer,. Mrs. Poole and
the daughter, Grace, have lived in ter
ror of the father.
Poole is being closely guarded in
the Jail here because of repeated
threats of lynching

TALK LEGISLATIVE RECESS
Possibility of Present Session Ex-
tending Into July Brings Plan to
Rest from May 20 to Jan. II.

Madison.-Leaders of the assem-
bly, and senate are discussing the adj
visibility of a legislative recess from
May 20 to Jan. s, 1912.
1t is the general opinion now that
it will take the legislature until we'll
along in July to finish the business
now before it.
The theory of those who favor the
recess is that the two houses now
could act on appropriation bills that
would tide over the government I'M
til next January. AT that time, they
say. the real appropriation bills
could be handled easily. Opponents
of the recess say that it will take
weeks. neAt year, to get the legis-
lature to point where it can get
through the work before it.

THE SOCIETY TEST.

Know mere people and know then,
better, was the means suggested by
Professor ZuebHn in his last Chicago
lecture for attaining the ultimate in
human relationship. He spoke Of
wealth, position. sex. religion and race
as the obstacles to the true social
situation, which. should have an intel
Iectual and moral basis. He ascribed
the socialistic movement Of the age
largely TO the insistence Of modern
society upon such petty distinctions
as wealth, family, position, etc. OF
course. the real social status Of a
community is based upon intellect
and moral purpose. says the Ohio
State Journal. Money and vanity
make more of a show, but they do not
constitute the social influence Of q
community. A person who has moth
ing but his money to depend on, is
ordinarily condemned and SO is the
society where he reigns. He can
make a display, but sensible people
zee through it all. We speak Of this
TO encourage the idea that culture,
with Its aspiration and its impulse, is
.he only test of a real society,
society that is a benefit to the world
and an upllft to the individual. This
IS not an objection to wealth. for real
ly that Is a great good when it shines
in culture and refinement, but when
for its own self it sets itself up as a
social aristocrat, then it is to be pitied
and avoided.

Gary, Ind.-A long line of de-
