SEE THE HAND OF GOD
IN THE DEATH OF THREE

Hopkinsville, Ky, April cit
developed here yesterday that Hen
ny Jones, who was fatally injured
here Tuesday night while attempt
ing to board a moving train, and
Minor Seay and George Smith, who
drove into the high water of Red
river at GAINESVILLE. Tenn, and
were drowned, were fellow-horse-
traders, and residents of the same
neighborhood near Clarksville.
They were. here Monday and
Tuesday and rather than ride the
80 miles home, crowded three in
single buggy. Jones decided to go
by train. About o'clock he fell
under the steps of the train he at
tempted to board. and died about 8
O'Clock. At about the same time he
died, Seay and Smith reached
GAINESVILLE and in the kness got
off the road and into deep water
where Red river had overhown the
approaches to the bride, and they
and the horses they were driving
were drowned.
Two horses they were leading
got out safely. Superstitiously in
clined people are commenting on
the fatality which pursued the trio.

THINK SHE'S ENGAGED IN
"WHITE SLAVE" TRAFFIC

Lexington, KY. April Upon
her arrival on the l.. & +. train
from Jackson this morning. accom-
panied by two young girls. Evelyn
Martin, a woman connected with a
resort in this city, was arrested at
the Union Station by Detectives
Veal and Thompson on suspicion of
white-slavery.
The woman was taken to police
headquarters and locked up, while
the two girls, aged nineteen and
twenty, respectively. who said they
lived near Jackson, are at the De-
tention Home.
The girls admitted to the detec-
eives that the Martin woman pur-
chased and gave them articles of
clothing in preparation for the trip
to Lexington. The Martin woman
is well known to the local police
who expect to bring out at her ex-
aminaing trial some damaging tes-
timony, identifying her with the
immoral traffic which, it is alleged,
has been going on for some time
between this city and certain sec
tions of the mountains.

LARGE SAVINGS
OF A LIFETIME
Shrewdly Taken From An
Ohio Farmer. ..
SIX SMOOTH CONFIDENCE MEN
Work Old Game-Make False
Representations on
Canada Land.
VICTIMS WERE QUITE EASY

Detroit, Mich, April Six con-
fidence men cleaned up $4,000 in
one deal in Detroit to-day, and but
for the foresight of country bank
er they would have made il an even
$4,000. Al Schrock, of Shanes-
vile, Ohio, farmer, put up the $4,-
600, and his brother William was
ready to part with the $4,000, and
would have done so but for the viii
lage financier.
AL Schrock made his $4,000 in
Arkansas real estate, and went
back to work on the Ohio farm
This reached the ears of come on"
men. One day a stranger accosted
Al on the village street and sold
him what he said was a lottery tick
ct for a land drawing in Canada. AL
paid so cents for the ticket Some
days later Al received a telegram
from the man saying that he had
won a prize. Others entered into
the conspiracy, and they all got
worked up over Canada's possibili-
ties. One of the men represented
himself as a land agent, and said
he had just the farm AL wanted.
The price was $4,000.
Then another stranger came into
the plot. He wanted the land, and
was willing to pay $4,000 for it.
The first conspirator, however, said
they wanted to be honest with AL
and would let him have the land
for $4,000, and he could at once
resell it to the sixth individual for
the $4,000, thereby making a
clean profit of $4,000.
AL didn't have $4,000, but his
brother owned property worth
enough to make up the difference.
AL let William in on the deal. Will
liam went to his banker, Charles v.
Shepfer, of Sugar Creek. to borrow
the money. ..
Meanwhile Al went to Cleveland
and deposited his $4,000 In a bank
there. This morning he met the
confidence men in Detroit and turn
ed over the certificate of deposit to
them. William was to meet the
crowd here and turn over his &c.
600. But Banker Shepfer wasn't
so easy He insisted on accompa-
nying William to Detroit, and ar
rived soon after AL, but was too
late to prevent the six from getting
AIS certificate of deposit.
Mr.Shepfer and the Shrock broth
ers went to the First National
Bank, and the officers promptly an
nounced the whole affair was
swindle and notified the police. The
men "smelled a rat" and
skipped before they met Shepfer.
The Cleveland bank was notified
not to honor the certificate, but it
is said the conspirators can cash
it almost anywhere, therefore the
police have not much hope for AL
ever getting his money
The Shrocks didn't even ask for
the names of the swindlers.

RED CROSS ISAIDING
STRANDED AMERICANS

Washington, April 6.-There are
'211 Americans stranded, some of
them in absolute want, in Vera
Cruz, on the East coast OF Mexico,
in Mazatlan. on the West coast and
in Manzanillo. in the interior of the
State of Jalisco. The American
Red Cross here to-day dispatched
$500 to the American Consuls in
those places to aid in their relief.
The Red Cross says it probably will
be necessary to issue a national APP
peal for aid.

Leipsic, Germany, April S.-A re-
markable operation has been per-

FRIGHTFUL TORTURES
INFLICTED UPON CHILD

Oroville, Cal. April 6.-Mrs. EN-
ma Rumbull pleaded guilty to-day
to manslaughter in connection with
the death of her step-daughter,
Helen Rumbull, IA years ODD, who
was found July 3 last with her neck
broken in two places. Mrs. Rum
bull was sentenced to two years in
the penitentiary. Her brother, Ar
thur Lewis, is now serving a SEN
tence of 10 years for murder.
For trifling untruth her mother
alleged she had told, Mrs. Rumbull
confessed that on the hottest day
ever known in the Sacramento Val
ley, she had bound the Ngirl hand
and foot to joists in the attic of the
Rumbull home, where the Their
mometer stood at 1870 degrees.
Nearby an incubator Matching out
chickens added to the heat of the
sun. There the girl was found
dead, her neck broken.
Mrs. Rumbull and Lewis were ar
rested. Experts testified that the
girl did not die of suffocation. Wit
nesses testified that Lewis, pow
erful man, bad boosted his ability
to break the neck Of steer in just
the manner in which Helen Rum
bulls neck had been broken. Lew
is was sentenced to 10 years on a
verdict of manslaugh-
ter. Both Mrs. Rumbull and Lewis
set up the theory that the child had
hanged herself.

VIII the people of the South ever get
in position where they can keep a fair
per cent of their hard earnings at home
instead of sending it all to the North
and West for maintenance on which
to make the next crop? Yes, when
they discontinue the one-crop system
and take up new methods which in
clude live stock, and will lead to sue
cess.
The longer l study the situation
here, the more l realize how depen-
dent this great section of country, with
its various resources, is upon other
less favored sections for bread, meat
and other necessities. Think of the
people of single state paying out
forty million dollars each year for
meat! Such is the case, am told, in
one Southern commonwealth. At
recent Farmers Institute held near
Uniontown, Ala, heard a prominent
speaker make the statement that Ala
bama spent between seventy-five and
eighty million dollars annually for
grain, hay, meat and dairy products.
This may be in excess of the actual
amount expended for these staples, but
at any rate the sum is enormous, as
is also that paid out for mules, horses,
cattle and other live stock. l do
know that during 1911 1899 mules
were shipped into Alabama under
health certificate permits, and in 1910
1898 were brought in. This is an
average of over 10000 mules
annually for this one state.
Estimating their cost to the
planters at 5000 each would mean
four million dollars. Fifty Southern
cities consume twenty-five million dol
lars worth of dairy products annually,
most of which comes from the North.
1t may be said of the South that it
is the fertilizer market of America,
and there is certainly no country
where humus is so needed in the aver
age soil. much of which live stock
would furnish.
These are the conditions that are
keeping the South poor and making
her land poorer. 1t is not that she |
does not raise enough of the one crop |
cotton, and it cannot be said that the
crop does not bring a vast amount of
money into the country, but it goes
right out. having already been expend-
ed for necessities to make the crop on.
The great need of the South is to
raise enough for self-maintenance in
addition to cotton to sell as a money
crop. To do this would, of course, cut
down the acreage devoted to cotton
and 1t would also cut down the aggre-
gate yields, from which no one would
suffer and many would be benefited.
Many will say: I'VE know we should
10 this, but we cannot grow feed and
'aise live stock in our country sue
and proftably" | say you
IAN, and it is being demonstrated that
most live stock can not only be pro
