it is feared now that she may lose her

Joe Hamilton Shot by Men He Sought

Joe Hamilton Shot by Men He Sought
to Help.
Parsons, Kan, May 30.-Ex-Sheriff
Joe Hamilton of this city, was recently
killed in Great Falls, Mont, while out
after grave snatchers who had robbed
the grave of small son of Harheld
Conrad, the ghouls taking the body
from the grave about year ago and
holding it for ransom, demanding ST.
500 before returning it to the parents,
and threatening that unless the money
was paid the body would be destroyed.
The attempt of Hamilton to arrest the
body snatchers was the result of q
letter written the father of the dead
boy, Harfield Conrad, saying that un-
less the money was left at a certain
place that night the body would be
destroyed. Hamilton offered to assist
in the capture, in fact, laid the plans,
which, miscarrying, resulted in his be-
ing shot by the man he was trying to
help.
The father and his brother went to
the place designated and instead Of
dropping out of the automobile a sack
containing the money in $40 gold
pieces, dropped out a sack of iron
washers A light was to be at the
place indicated, and the two brothers
were not to stop when the sack was
dropped, but go on. The plan of the
officer was for him to follow on horse
back, which he did, but after dropping
the SACK, the DTotherS went VA anu
about half mile farther found an
other light and dropped a handker-
chief there.
After going on again they returned,
and seeing a man standing near where
they had dropped the handkerchief.
and thinking it to be the body snatch
ers, both men fired at him as the au-
tomobile rushed past. Returning, they
found the dead body of the ex-sheriff
either the father of the dead boy or
his uncle having shot the man who was
attempting to help them.

!FAv0RS ROOT AMENDMENT
Senate Finance Committee Adopts
Change in Pact.

Washington, June 9.-The Canadian
reciprocity bill was acted upon by the
senate finance committee and will be
reported Tuesday without recon-
mendation. The Root amendment to
the print paper and wood pulp provi-
sion was adopted by the committee by
a vote of to 6.
An attempt to authorize an unfavor-
able report resulted in tie vote and
another tie marked the effort to report
without recommendation before that
result was accomplished.
The vote on the measure was a
surprise to members Of the senate. It
had been generally reported that the
finance committee would shift respon-
sibility to the senate, leaving the real
fight to be waged on the floor. At
the last moment the opposition in the
committee seemed to solidify.

LONDON, July 12.-Charged with
having sold a bogus confession of DR..

physician convicted and executed for
the murder of his wife, and of having
misconducted the case, Arthur New
ton, the solicitor who had charge of
Crippen's defense. was today suspend
ed from the practice of law for one
year.
The order of suspension was made
by Lord Alverstone, chief justice of
England, and Justices Darling and
Bankes, after a lengthy investigation.
The Lord Chief Justice and the two
other jurists not only we're convinced
that Newton, two weeks after Grip
pens execution, sold to a London
paper what purported to be a con-
fession from his client and which was
subsequently proved to have been
false, but declared that the solicitor
had circulated other false reports
about the man whom he had been sup
posed to defend.
It will be remembered that Grip
pen steadfastly maintained to the last
moment that he was innocent
Justice Darling in commenting upon
the order of suspension, declared that
he was satisfied that Crippen had not
been defended properly and the de-
Tense was conducted largely with a
view of furnishing copy for the news
papers which had subscribed finan-
cially to his defense. Newton was or

CALLS RAILROAD
FATHER OF TRUST
Trunk Line Association the
Granddaddy Declares
Expert Neall
By The United Press.


WASHINGTON. July 12-"Have-
meyer said the tariff was the mother
of the trust and I'm prepared to show
the railroad is the father" asserted
Frank L. Neall, of Philadelphia, a
freight rate expert, before the Hard
wick Sugar Trust Committee today.
IF you will go back far enough" he
added. you'll find the Trunk Line As
ISOLATION is the grand daddy"
Neall said that for fifty years he has
been with the firm Of Peter Wright
and Sons, Philadelphia. and asserted
that before it was held to be unlaw-
full, he had been an extensive re-
batter
freight rate on sugar was the same
to Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash
ington.
"In other words, when they don't
want TO, the railroads don't consider
distance in making a rate" said
Neall.
Neall asserted that Philadelphia
nominally had a lower freight rate to
points west than New York, yet this
rate was merely on paper. and be-
cause of lighterage and carriage
charges returned to New York ship
pers, Philadelphia really had a higher
rate.
Until a few years ago the sugar
trust, Neall said, next TO Standard
Oil. was the greatest purchaser of
transportation, and therefore got a
very low rate.
