the following article about her:
Little Janet Pierce, the l3-year-
old daughter OF Frederick l.. Pierce, set
a pace the other day at the dairy show
which II would be hard for some country
maids to emulate.
"She was standing before the stall where
some fine looking cows comfortably
chewed their cuds. Frank d. Hopkins was
with her, pointing out the beauties Of the
bovines. and asked her II she didn't wish

Searchers Unable to
Find Axe Murderer

ELLSWORTH, Kan, Aug. H.--Private
detectives and county officers who have
been searching since last Monday for
the man who murdered the five MEM
bers of the Snowman family say to-
night the outlook for the capture of the
slayer is gloomy. They believe the muir
derer has left the vicinity.
Every report save one. that the man
detained at Newkirk. Okl., resembles
Charles Marzyek, who Is under suspicion,
has been investigated and no light shed
on the mystery. An officer who knows
Marzyek was sent TO Newkirk tonight
to attempt Identification.
For a time today officers thought they
had John Smith, the mysterious man
who left bloody clothes at the Baker
house here on the night OF tho murders
and who was found by a coroner's jury
to be responsible for the killing. At
Kanopolis today John Smltherman. a
laboring man from Junction City, was
arrested by local officers. However,
Sheriff John Harbes of Junction City
came here tonight and practically con-
WINGED the authorities that Smitherman
had nothing to do with the Snowman
case.
A private detective today found finger
prints on bucket in which the murderer
washed his hands before leaving the
Snowman house. A message has been
sent to Lansing prison requesting copies
OF the finger prints OF Marzyek.
DENVER. Oct. 20.-That Charles
MarEyek, sought as a suspect in the
Ellsworth Kan. quintuple murder case,
was In Denver a week prior to the SEX
tuple murder of the Wayne and Burnham
families in Colorado Springs September
II, was the statement made to police Of
flclals today by Patrolman Louis Kratke.
According 90 Kratke. Marzyek. whom he
knew as a boy. hailed him on the street
here about September 10, Kratke being
unable to remember the exact date.
Kratke's statement conflicts with the
assertions OF Marzyek's relatives here
that letters had been received from
Marzyek in Alaska 80 recently as 70
make II impossible for him TO have re-
turned In time to have committed the
crimes.

sion against the various railroads by the
live stock markets of Missouri river
cities began Saturday morning in the

federal building, with Special Examiner
II. w. Mackley presiding.
Efforts on the part OF the railroads TO
cancel a freight rate for live stock which
has been In effect for many years and
which has heretofore been satisfactory.
and to substitute in its stead ono which
Is 1915 per cent higher, led to an organized
protest from the live stock markets OF
Omaha, South Omaha, Kansas City, st.
Joseph and Sioux City, who assert that
the increased rate proposed by the rail-
roads is an attempt to add to their reve-
nues at the expense OF the public. The
live stock men were unanimous in their
appeals for the retention OF the old rate
on cattle and feeder sheep. which is rs
per cent less than the rate on fat stock.
Representatives from st. Joseph, Sioux
City, ST. Paul, Omaha and Kansas City,
together with shippers from Illinois, Iowa,
South Dakota and Missouri were present
TO testify against the proposed new rate
The increased freight rate which was
TO go into effect has been ordered sus-
pended until the close of the investigation
which will be some time in December
The inquiry was continued in Omaha
throughout the day, and Monday morning
will be continued In Kansas City. From
Kansas City the investigation win pro
coed to Sioux City. and then to ST. Paul
in order to get in touch with local con-
dltions.

crease is allowed to stand, 1t will have
