Not every girl can be beauty,

Win friends who will be ever true.

 douhtedly read it before he reached New York and was in position to ne gotiate his terms and deliver what he had to seii' to the district attorney when he met him en route.
 "Schepps in conversation with sey. eral witnesses here made statements Indicating his knowledge that the gang killed Rosenthal because he interfered with them, either in their white slave business or their gambling business. The testimony procured here on that subject is conclusive Schepps ire quently made the statement here, and 1t is proved in the testimony of sew eral witnesses, thaa he was the key note to the whole situation in New York. and yet on other occasions he said that he knew little or nothing of the Rosenthal murder. When ask ed the direct question by his old friend, Bereholtz, one of the witnesses, as to why they killed his good friend, Herman Rosenthal, Sehepps replied: You don't know what a dirty dog he got to be Ne had a gang of gun men hanging around his place on Second avenue anu went so far as to want a man named Louis Kaufman killed.  and further, that Rsosefitthssall thought that everybody was abusing him. This clearly shows that when Schep2s spoke to his old friend, Bercholtz. he attributed the killing of Rosenthal to the gang, whom he. Rosenthal, had offended.
 'The testimony of Mr. Hogaboom, a
The Sentinel=record., 1912-09-25

respectable and prominent citizen Of Hot Springs, that Schepps said that 'Rosenthal should have been bumped off long ago and would have been if something had not happened,' is an other piece of testimony showing that lSchepps knew the real cause of the murder to have been the hostility oi Resenthal'g associates.
 Postmaster Johnson said that Schepps said to him I don't want you fellows to think that We killed man that was any account; that fellow is a dirty eur; I will tell you the kind of fellow he is; that he went on to state he would steal another fellows girls or another fellows bank roll, or he would declare hi& in when they were losing and out when they were winning, and all that kind of business; and he said that fellow ought to have been killed. I don't want you to NhAAh VI us AS NoAhluou iihiutEtfN- Here l am, I never expected to be in this sort of situation.
 This direct admission by Schepps shows that he is an aecomplice. though he is held as a vagrant on his own consent by the district attorney, and further shows that when he made that statement to MT. Johnson. the motive for the killing was not threats or solicitations by Becker or by any one.
 The bits of testimony I have re ferred 10 show beyond question that Schepps knew and declared the true motive behind the Rosenthad murder to be gang hostility, and if the district attorney is relying upon Schepps to fasten the crime on Becker, the dis. trict attorney is leaning on broken reed

Sept. 24.-Congress not only has the authority under the con stitution. but is morally obliged to see to it that the highways of the country, both land and waterways, are not made vehicles for the dissemination of disease and death, declared Judge Judson C..

Congress having the power. it was up to the medical profession and to the people, Judge Clements added, to decide whether the time had come when pub lie health required that laws be pass ed governing the disposal of refuse from passing trains and boats.
 That farmers are the most health fully occupied class of workers was the statement made tonight by pr. Jacques Bertillion. chief of the bureau of municipal statistics, Paris, who has just made comprehensive study of mortality and it's causes among tns professions.
 "The least healthy persons" he said, fare those engaged in handling liquor. We may say that all causes of death, except accidents, are extra ordinarily frequent for this group.
