PUEBLO, April 19.-The CONNER
ciaI travellers who visit Pueblo regu-
larly are organizing a crusa1s against
rf iler towels and in Kansas they have
iocn so successful in their Efforts that

ard an investigation is beir conduct
I'd in their liability to cont,in and
hold dangerous bacteria.
The roller .owels of puolic p!ae es
according to somc who have looked in
to the subject at length often con-
ts in germs tlia, are menace to the
public health. The complaints of the
commercial men in some partJ Of the
country have been carried to such an
extent that boards of health arc tax
ing up the matter with view to in
vcstigating in a scientific manner.
They are frequently the means Of
communicating disease, it is said.
According to travelling men who are
at present in Pueblo If the investi-
cation of the Kansas state board Of
health reveals that the towels show
the presence of dangerous germs an
order will be issued at the next meet
ing of the board in June condemning
them and suggesting the use of pa

DESERTED HUSBAND AC-
CUSED OF FATAL ASSAULT

DENVER, April 19.-Stabbed and
probably fatally wounded by the for
mer husband of the woman with
whose son he boarded, Jack Holzer,
of 1863, Ninth street, a railroad
brakeman, lies at the point of death at
the county hospital. His alleged as
sailant, Charles Worth, 46 years old,
was arrested at his home, Ninth and
Wazee streets, soon after the finding
Of Holzer, probably mortally wounded.
Worth's address was not known at
first, but he was found by Patrolman
Henderson.
From what the police learn Holzer
was stabbed sometime yesterday aft
ernoon, and, after staggering to his
home and to his bed, was alone in the
house until found by Edward Swan
son, step-son of his alleged assail-
ant, at $3.50 o'clock last night, when
Swanson went home and discovered
the man dying from loss Of blood
The seriousness of Holzer's wounds
were not at first apparent, but when
Police Surgeon McGillivray made an
examination at the county hospital, it
was found that one of the two knife
wounds on the left side Of the back
was so deep as to have penetrated the
lungs.
The investigation by the police OF
the stabbing reveals rather peculiar
and unusual story of jealousy and the
carrying out of threat which is said
to have bten made long ago by Worth
that he would kill Holzer, the man
who had, he believed, usurped his
place with the woman from whom he
had been divorced.

WIFE CONSPlRED TO SHUT
HER HUSBAND IN MADHOUSE

PARIS, April 1.-THE trial of
Nine. Brunei, the wife of a Paris
chemist, on charge of criminal con-
spiracy against her husband, was con-
tinued before the ninth chamber Of
the Paris correctional court. M. Bru-
net, a chemist in the rue Saint Paul,
Is the inventor Of patent medicine
which is said to bring him in $25, 900
year. Nine. Brunei is alleged To
have conspired with M. Guillievic, her
husbands assistant, and NJ. Raymond,
his pupil, to have him shut up and
seize his business.
Evidence was given to show that
force was employed to oblige M. Bru-
net to return to his home when he
left Ville-Evrard asylum, and that DR..
Meynot, who was called in at in
the morning to give certificate that
M. Brunei was insane, refused to do
so after two hours examination.
The president of the court read re-
ports from four experts who although
they found that DR.. Benon, who gave
a certificate for M. Burnet's eonnns-
ment, acted in good faith, neverthe-
less found that the chemists condi-
ton did not warrant.
In the year of 1909 M. Burnet was
treated at Epinay for mental trou-
BILE. Some time after be was seen
for fifteen minutes by DR.. Benon, who
signed certificate in consequence Of
which M. Burnet was taken by foree
to the asylum at ville-Evrard. Hero.
however, the authorities could iind no
trace Of mental disease and ordered
him TO be taken back to his house,
which M. Burnct refused to re-enter.
As the result the police intervened.
At the police station NJ. Burnet
brought the charge against his wife
and assistants which led to their ap-
pearance before the correctional court.
Experts nominated by the examin-
ing magistrate declared M. Brunei to
be sane. Before the court NJ. Brunei
and M. Raymond could only give
vague theories to justify their asser-
tions that M. Brunei was made. It
was also stated that Mme Brunei de-
sired to marry her daughter to n.
Guillevic and place him at the head
Of the business. In order to do this
she wanted to get rid Of her husband
by confinement as lunatic.
