THE EDITOR AND COMMUNITY
The late. United States Senator
Davis of Illinois, in speaking OF
newspapers value to community
made these truthful remarks:
"Every year each local paper
gives from 1900 to $1,000 in free
lines to the city in which it is lo-
Gated in boosting, praising, and Tor
lodges. churches. schools. societies,
etc. No other agency can or will
do this. The editor, in proportion
to his means. does more for his
town than any other man and he
ought to he supported. not because
you like and admire him and his
style, but because local paper Is
the hest investment community
can make. To-day the local papers
are doing more for less pay than
anything on earth, and it's fact in
many cases of free notices, an
nOmcements, etc. they are not
even thanked foe what they do"

Can it be possible that Mr.. Roose-

and was soon carried beyond his
depth.
Freeman claims that when he saw
that Roberts was running toward the
river he called to him telling him to
come back and get his hat and to 90
with him to the house and he would
pay him for his work, but that Rob
erts rushed on into the water and was
carried out of sight.
This is practically the story If
Freeman, but officers say that is only
one side of the story and a self serving
statement at best. They are interested
in knowing whether Roberts was stab
bed during the hand to hand conflict
and this cannot be known until the
body of Roberts is found.
1t is said that Bruce Ikelcr, son Of
ii. b. lkeler saw the encounter from Il
distance, but the boy is now at thu
-fakcs on fishing trip and may not be
home for several days.
When Sheriff Jessup was called to
the scene of the tragedy Wednesday
afternoon, just before putting Free
man under arrest, he found blood on
the rocks near the river which would
indicate that Roberts had suffered CON
siderable loss of blood and that if he
plunged into the river himself he might
have been dazed and Irresponsible.
Mr.. Trumbor says Freeman is a good
farm hand and apparently a peaceable
citizen and he is inclined to believe
his story. Freeman was at once placed
in Jail and has not yet been given a
preliminary hearing as it is hoped tha..
the body of Roberts may be found in
a few days and in the meantime Free
man will be held by the sheriff.

ney Whitman tonight
This form of immunity is conditional
upon Schepps' willingness to corrobor-
ate the stories of Jack Rose aud
9" Bridgie" Weber, charging that Po,
lice Lieutenant Charles Becker was the
instigator of the murder
Mr.. Whitman does not believe
Schepps took any part in carrying out
the murder plot, but he thinks he knew
what was going on.
The fugitive is expected in New
York Thursday in the custody of As
sistant District Attorney Rubin and
Detectives Stewart and Thomas, whom
the district attorney sent to Hot
Springs today.
Bernard Gambler, schepps' attorney,
anxious that Schepps tell his story to
no one but Mr.. Whitman, telegraphed
Schepps yesterday "not to talk" and
today received from him telegraphic
reply promising "to obey instruc-
tions.'
The district attorney has unearthed
more interesting facts about Police
Lieutenant Becker. The latest revela-
tion is that since December Becker has
rented safe deposit vault for the de-
posit of securities. The prosecutor re-
garded this as important in view of
the allegations that Becker has grown
rich out of gambling graft.
Although it has been reported that
Detective William J. Burns has been
working on the case ever since the
murder, Mr.. Whitman said tonight that
Burns had been on the case less than
two weeks. The detective, who is
working on the general graft feature
of the case, will report to the district
attorney daily.
