But the honorable's dignity had re-

What Is Rser2-Entering the illus

What Is Beer2-Entering the Illus
{rious names of Heroditus, Caesar,
Plato and other ancients as earnest
drinkers of beer, barley growers and
brewers from throughout the country
began testimony before the board OF
food and drug inspection at Washing
ton yesterday to determine the long
disputed que stion, What is beer"
DIR. Harvey w. Wiley, chief chemist,
who heads the board, shared honors
with the ancient convivialists by an
nouncing early that his chief COM
plant was that too little beer was
found in the ordinary glass Of COM
merce sold to the thirsty.
John r. Mauff, representing the
National Consumers league and the
Wisconsin board of the American So
ciety of Equality, argued that most
people were under the impression that
all beer was made Of barley malt
hops and water, when in reality infe-
rior grades or chemical preServa-
tives' were substituted.
The United States Brewers associa-
ton, represented at the hearing by a
committee, offered a statement an
swering various questions as to the
manufacture of beer and suggesting
that beers were substantially alike and
needed no labelling to differentiate
them.
Mr. Mauff exploited the merits of
beer, but charged that the public does
not get enough for it's money. He re-
ferred to the fact that the consumer
when sold a "pint" or quart" In
reality was given what is known on
brewers invoices as small" or a
large" and that since the Spanish
American war the five quarts to a
gallon measure" had never been
changed.

Cotton Bill Denounced.-Though all
of yesterday in the house was supposed
to be devoted to Republican speeches
against the Underwood cotton tariff
revision bill, about half the time was
taken up by demands for pension leg
islation and an Intellectual attempt to
secure the passage Of the senate
amendment to the deficiency appro-
priation privilege for an extra months
pay for employees Of congress. Aban-
doning a practice Of thirty years
standing, the house voted down the
amendment 1S1 to 25.
Representatives Austin of Tennessee,
Utter of Rhode Island and Green of
Massachusetts denounced the Under
wood bill, saying that If passed 1t
would utterly destroy the cotton man
ufacturing industry in the United
States. They urged that there be no
tariff legislation without report from
the tariff board and Mr.. Austin de-
clared that the Underwood bill had
been drawn by lot Of lawyers who
knew nothing about the tariff.

AFTER DICK DUNN

Before starting out again IN search
for more victims of his deadly aim,
the arch henl in human flesh ex-
changed horses. his own being near
IL exhausted. and then before COM
pleting the final act of the shocking
tragedy, rode bareback to the ranch
of Dick Dunn on Parrot creek, a
distance of about twelve miles from
the Thompson ranch, intent APP
parently upon killing Mr. Dunn
with whom he had been on un-
friendly terms for some time. He
arrived here at exactly one O'Clock
a. m. lie entered the house and
after asking Mrs. Dunn why they
had a light burning extinguished it.
He then asked Mrs. Dunn what she
knew and when she said nothing.
he replied that she would know
more at that time tomorrow. lie
then blinded the window using a
table cloth and bed sheet, doing a
very thoro job. and lighted the lamp
again. During this time he laid
the gun, cooked, on the table with
II easy reach. He then engaged
Mrs. Dunn, who was his daughter
by his first wife, in conversation,
talking perfectly Intelligent at all
times. and like a man possessed of
all his faculties. He made the re-
mark to her that she should save
enoug h out of the estate to take
care Of herself and children as
something was liable to happen to
Dick at any time. From his talk
and queer actions the Dunns quick
" surmised that he had committed
some crime, being ignorant of
course of the true state of affairs.

Houeardv ranch on Goulden creek |
one Of the Thompson children hav-
ing walked there after Mrs. Thomp-
son had been killed. Sheriff Fisco,
Under Sheriff Baldwin, Deputy
Young and Coroner Brissenden left
Immediately for the scene Of the
murders, altho at that time they
were under the impression that only
Mrs. Thompson had been killed, no
word having been received from the
other places. However, on the road
they were informed of the shooting
of Andy RAIDER and Jimmy Bridges
but the killing Of Mrs. Roots and
the suicide OF the murderer was
not known until eight O'Clock yes
terday morning when they found
the bodies.
Roots was a man of about forty
five and owned small ranch on
Half Breed creek. He came here
about twenty years ago and has
been living here ever since with the
exception Of few years when he
went to South America. He was
always considered bad man, hay-
ing at various times threatened to
kill people. 1t is thought that he
was mentally unbalanced, and that
the wholesale murder had been
planned days before. Tuesday of
this week he was in tie city with
his wife at which time he purchas-
ed two boxes of shells loaded with
buck shot at the Newton Hardware
& Implement Co., being very
anxious at that time to explain to
f. F. Parriott that he wanted them
to shoot jack rabbits. He also
purchased several boxes loaded with
smaller shot. Roots had only
been able to be about for few
weeks having been confined to his
bed since last January with a
broken leg. Family trouble of long
standing is said to be the cause of
the shooting. W. S. Thompson,
husband of one of the dead women,
committed suicide about two years
ago by shooting himself.
All of the five bodies were brought
to this city yesterday and placed in
Marshall's undertaking parlors,
where coroner's inquest is being
held over them today. The bodies
will be inferred in the city cemetery
here.

WRITES LETTER

At this time horse stamped out
side and Roots blew out the lamps
and went out to investigate, return
ing shortly. He then asked Mrs.
Dunn for some writing paper and
a pencil which she gave him, and
then sat down and wrote the let
ter which was found beside his dead
body. With this finished he took
off gold ring from his finger and
gave it to Mrs. Dunn and kissing
her. left the house. He waited
outside about fifteen minutes ap-
parently expecting Mr.. Dunn to
come out when he would have a
chance to shoot him. 1t is almost
a miracle that Dunn escaped with
his life. and it is thought the only
thing that saved him was the fact
that he was with his wife and child
rem. Had he been alone or come
outside out of sight Of his family it
is very likely that he would have
been numbered among the dead.
While at the Dunn home they
noticed the forked stick. which he
used in discharging the gun when
he killed himself, in his hand and
hey guessed the purpose of it. This
would indicate that Roots was pre-
pared to do away with himself at
any tim, should occasion necessi-
tate.

MURDERER SHOOTS SELF

Roots returned to his home abou:
four O'Clock Thursday morning, and
in keeping with his pre.arranged
plan as stated in his letter, he now
braced the stock of the gun, which
already had the blood of three
persons on it, against fence
post near his home, and holding
the muzzle against his heart dis
charged it with the aid of a forked
stick, thus drawing the curtain on
a tragedy such as perhaps never has
been enacted before in this state.
