BL00DH0UNDS TRAIL
ALLEGED MURDERER
Police Are Encouraged To Believe They
Will Get Man in the Brutal Al
bany, N. Y, Case.

Albany, N. Y, Dec, l5.--The authori'
ties renewed their efforts to-day to APP
prehend Edward Donate, the Italian
farmland, who is wanted in connection
with the quadrupie murder at Defreest-
vile Tuesday, when Mrs Morner, hes
daughters, Edith, aged 20, and Blanche,
eyed IL, and her son, Arthur, were slain.
The mans description was sent broad
cast
This morning a suspect was picked up
Mt Buffalo and another at Abba near
Troy. Bloodhounds traced the Italian
to short distance from Troy, where
the scent was lost The officials believe
that Donate has gone to Pittsfield, Mass.
Sheriff Cottrell left this morning for
Pittsfeld in the hope Of running down
the man.
Sheriff Cottrell Of Rensselaer, county
yesterday secured bloodhounds and put
them on the scent at the Morner farm
with some of the missing mans clothes
and pair Of his shoes. The dogs took
up the trail Immediately and followed
1t along the hard, dirt road to West
Sandlake, where they stopped at the
trolley tracks of the New England Rail-
way company. Here it is supposed the
man boarded car and went to Troy.
The sheriff and his men returned to
Troy, disheartened by the loss of the
scent, but their hopes were raised again
by word from the Hudson chief of po
lice, who said one of his officers talked
with the man at five o'clock Wednes-
day morning. An investigation was
made and Officer Martin of Hudson said
that he had met the Italian, whose eyes
were bloodshot and who seemed nervous,
and talked with him. The officer says
he has known him for two years The
description tailed with that of the miss
ing man, which was not sent out until
Wednesday night, even to the striped
suit and oyercoat, which he wore when
last seen.
Officer Martin says the man asked how
soon he could get train for Pittsfield,
Mass, and when told it would be few
hours he said he would go and see a
friend in Hudson. At the friends house.
the police learned that Donate, if it were
he, left his overcoat, but had disap-
peared from the city.
An autopsy performed upon the bodies
of the murdered women and girls yes
terday disclosed, the coroner and physi-
clans assert, that the younger girl,
Blanche, had been ravaged. This, the
police say, furnished the motive for the
quadruple crime.

Story That King George Was
ASSaSSinated Today
TO Be UNTRUE
However, Report from Delhi Was Such
as to Stir London and New York
Very Greatly-was Probably
Due to Nearby Fire.

New York, Dec. l5.-The rumor that
King George had been assassinated in
the royal camp at Delhi, circulated
broadcast in London this morning, which
created tremendous excitement, was
discredited both in London and here.
That the rumors were baseless was indi-
Gated by dispatch received by the Asso-
eiated Press this morning from Delhi,
filed in that city at noon to-day. At
that hour the king was well and proceed
ing with the official program. The Lon
don officials declare the rumor probably
arose through the sensational reports Of
a slight fire last night in tent adjoin-

Crime in Vermont.

Yermont's record of twenty murders
last year is the full quota of our state
in making up a percentage of homicides
for bhe union quite beyond anything
that any other civilized country can
show. we hold human life cheap here
in America. I'd the increase in the crime
Of murder is .Norrifying, when we stop
TO think of it. Scores of causes figure
toward 1.-THE pace We live; the high
strung temperament OF our people; the
influx Of undesirable immigrants; the
decadence of the native stock IN many
localities; the use of stron. Z liquors, etc.
We should add also the not Qrlety gwen
high crimes in newspapers md other
wise; the uncertainty of discov, NY; the
greater uncertainty of conviction md ul-
innate punishment of whatever 'orm.
Crime begets crime, murder begets m, "
der. The more prevalent it becomes, the
more it will increase, by force of emula-
tion and suggestion A Society for the
Prevention Of Murder would sound badly
enough in this Christian state and ma
tion, but it would find plenty to do from
the start.-Rsndolph Herald and News.

Americus got together" yesterday
as she has not done before in three
years and, unitedly, won a victory at
the POLLS that again puts the wheels
OF progress in motion and means the
making of a Greater Americus. Old
scores were put aside, old enmities
we've forgotten, and with one accord
the people of Americus came unitedly
TO the front and won a sweeping vic
tory
The fact was announced not only TO
Americus, but to all of Sumter county
when, at Clio o'clock, every steam
whistle in the city Joined in a noisy
chorus of exultation.
Every factory, a score of locomo-
tives, the fire whistle and even the old
fire bell which has not been used in
years, mingled their discordant notes
in a medley the like of which Americus
had never heard before. And it was
worth it. for she had never achieved
. greater victory.
For nearly an hour pandemonium
prevailed in this whistletic celebration
of the bond election.
bonds had carried the day, and the
growth of Americus would be no long
er retarded. The sewerage syste Il
would be extended for miles in the
residence sections, thus permitting the
building of hundreds of homes.
The needed additions to the water
works plant would be provided in the
expenditure of $25, 5,OOO-a need so gen
orally recognized.
A"d lastly, but very important in
connection with these improvements,
the c ty's business streets will at last
be paved in the expenditure of the
proceeds of $4,000 of bonds voted
unanimously four years ago. The
councilmen have promised this, pro
yidrd the bond election yesterday was
carried. There was no equivocation
and tie issue is now sQuarely up 70
them
And the voters believed yesterday
in casting their ballots that the coun-
eli majority would be as good as their
words; that there would be no dupli-
city. That a square deal would be
given.
If this be true, the result Of yeste'
Gay's election means that Americus
Will go forward this year by leaps ana
