BIND AND
GAG AGED GROCER
After Threatening to Burn
Him Alive, He Reveals
Location of $o18.
(National News Association

ELKHART, Ind, Aug. 15.-Jacob
Topper, aged So, suburban grocer
was assaulted, bound and robbed ear
ened to burn the bed in which Topper
had been tied unless he revealed the
whereabouts of his money.
Topper lives in the suburbs and was
found in bed at O'Clock this morn
ing when a customer came for milk.
Topper had been assaulted and rob-
bed of 1913, of which about 5000 was
in checks and the rest cash. Topper
awakened some time after midnight
to find that a man had jumped on
him, with knees on his stomach and
hands about his throat, and that an
other robber was in the room.
They tied his hands under his left
leg, the right leg being partly paralys-
cd, and ordered him to reveal the hid
ing place of his money or they would
kill him. He was struck twice on
the temple when he made an outcry
and the robbers, after obtaining a can
OF kerosene, were about to pour oil on
his bed and threatening. to burn him
when he gave up and told them the
money was hidden in a flour chest in
the kitchen.
Five minutes. after the robbers were
supposed to have left the house Top
per called for help and one man
re-entered the room and said that if
he made any more noise they would
kill him. He then remained quiet un-
til the customer called. Topper's wife
is visiting in Cincinnati and he was
alone. 1t is believed the robbers are
residents of Elkhart, as they were
acquainted with the fact that Toppers'
right leg was paralyzed. The police
have no clue.

| LIVERPOOL, Aug. 1.-War be-
tween British soldiers and strikers,
frenzied with the spirit of mob viol-
ence, ragged here today. Five thous-
and picked trops, armed with ball car
tridges and bsyonet, under command
of General MacKinnon, patrolled the
streets and taught the strikers and
their sympathizers.
The fiercest fighting which has
marked the course of the great strike
broke out early in the day in Homer
street. The soldiers fired upon the
mob and then charged with fixed bay
onets.
Many of the soldiers were wounded
by flying missiles. Hundreds of the
rioters were hurt, some by flying bull
let's. In hand-to-hand fight the riot
ers were finally driven from their po-
sition, but they concentrated again in
another quarter and attacked ship
ping property.
Ten volleys were fired by the York
shire regiment and it was officially
reported that no strikers had been
wounded but this report was merely
based upon the fact that no wounded
men were found in the streets. It is
believed that the wounded men were
carried off by their companions when
they were forced to retreat before the
bayonet charge.
Just before dawn tod9y the more

piled the torch in an attempt to burn
property of the members of tho. ship

were held at bay.
A general walkout of all transport
and railway workers was ordered to-
day and the strike-leaders asserted
that within short time Liverpool
would be bottled up tight"
Aside from the terror of violence,
famine fears were accentuated today.
Strike, leaders dispatched bands OF
men to intercept provision vans
which were pressed into service to
distribut foodstuffs from the various
railroad terminals.

CoLoRADo's NEXT SENATOR

There is great to do in Denver
where the state legislature is now
in session over the question OF who
shall succeed the late Charles j.
Hugnes as United States senator.
The political forces are lined up in
solid phalanx for this candidate or
that, the legislators are kept busy
listening to the oft told virtues OF
the respective candidates, and the
aspirants are sending out carefully
worded acquiescences to the impor-
tunities of their friends. 1t is in
deed portentious time for the sena-
tor makers.
| Meanwhile the common people are
awaiting the result with interest.
Although they have the most at
stake, they can say the least. The
legislature is absolute in its power.
Mayor Speer is a formidable cam
didate. He is known to Denverites.
but is little known IN the state eX-
cent for his official acts as chief exc
cutive OF Denver. Former Cover
nor Alya Adams is also in the run
ming. and strong following favors
taking Governor Shairoth from the
gubernatorial chair 10 place him in
the senate as the junior member
from Colorado. Former Governor
Thomas has coyly admitted that he
would serve the PEOPLE as success
sor to Hughes. and others whose
bump OF hope oyershadows their bet
ter Judgment are standing where the
general assembly will have no trou-
Bile in finding them should the race
develop into choice OF q dark horse.
If the legislature wants to act in
the best OF faith and extend to the
people a voice, the members might
delay the election until such time
as q canvass OF the state be made
and the qualifications OF the various
candidates be passed upon by the
people they will represent in the ma
tional congress. within a brief
time indeed expressions could be
had from all parts OF the state. If
the legislature cares Tor Tree eX-
preston of preference. IT could have
one by sending out call. or even
intimating that it was willing to lend
an ear to suggestion.
There is but little hope. however.
of this move being made. The poll
ticians will fight the battle tor the
PEOPLE. pat them on the back wneh
the smoke clears away and assure
them the masses got the best OF the
deal all the way through. And some
OF the people will believe these as
surances while others Will continue
to wonder.

Protecting Colorado Potatoes
tDenyer Republican,


According to more or less COM
monty accepted theory the potato
beetle started uron its migration OF
destruction from this state. At any
rate 1t bears Colorado's name. But.
although glad to get rid Of II, Colo
RADIO did not send 1t out. 1t went
OF its own accord. Colorado was not
responsible. 1t cannot Justly be
blamed
innocence of Colorado in this partic-
ular. lest other countries-Germany
for instance-feel justified In retail
ating by sen1ing to this state the
dangerous rotate scab. the menace
OF which Eugene Grubb discovered
when. as a special commissioner from
the department OF agriculture, he
made his recent tour of investigation
through the rotate districts of Ger
many and ether rarts of Europe.
There is real danger in the possi-
bility that the rotate disease men
tened may be brought into the Uni
ted States through importation
potatoes from Eurore Enormous
though the rotato- wing power o.
this country is. the fact remains that
the United States does not produce
enough potatoes to supply the de
mand in America Hundreds o!
thousands OF bushels are imported
every year rom Europe. But this
would be needless IL American farm
ors would produce enough potatoes
to meet the home demand. and then
all danger from possible importn-
tion O. potato scab would be removed
Senator Guggenheim in the Senate
and Representative Taylor in the
House have introduced bills to en-
rover the secretary OF agriculture
to exclude diseased potatoes from
Importation. and to take whatever
other steps may be needed to pre-
vent the introduction or spread
the scab and other diseases affecting
the potato plant. Since legislation
OF this kind Is needed, the matter
should receive prompt and favorable
consideration.
The possibility that new diseases
Affecting potatoes may make their
appearance In this part OF the coun-
try supplies additional reason for the
establishment In Denver of the pro-
posed botanical laboratory with au-
thority to investigate all plant dis
eases in the arid regions.
