continued as the chief figure in the
RosenthaI conspiracy case today when
he appeared before the grand jury,
prepared to repeat the story he told
District Attorney Whitman, in which
he corroborated in many essential de-
tails the confession of Bald Jack"
Rose This implicated Police Lieuten-
ant Becker in the killing of the East
Side gambler. 1t was this story of
Schepps that Mr.. Whitman desired the
grand jury to hear before returning
further indictments in the Rosenthal
case.
Schepps has told the district at
torney that he talked with Lieutenant
Becker a few hours before Rosenthal
was shot and with others went out to
get an affidavit from Dora Gilbert,
RosenthaPs divorced wife. Schepps
then told of the ride up town the night
of the killing, of the gathering of the
gun men and how he and Rose waited
for the news of Rosenthal's death.
1t was after the murder was com
mitted that Schepps played his most
important part in the Rosenthal af-
fair. That was as a go-between for
Lieutenant Becker and the panic
stricken Rose, who was hiding in an
uptown apartment house. Schepps said
he made several visits to Becker to
consult with him as to what course
Rose should pursue Becker, he said.

Charles B. Platt, described as Becker's
press agent, also testified.
An unexpected witness before the
grand jury this afternoon was big
Jack Zelig, who is now out on bail
awaiting trial for carrying concealed
weapons. It has been previously re-
ported that Zelig was told that the
indictment against him would be
quashed if he furnished the gunmen to
make away with Rosenthal. 1t was to
learn of these reports that Zelig was
brought before the grand jury.
The appearance at the court house
of Zelig caused a sensation. Former

leased on bail, revealed the fact that

Washington, Aug 2o.-Representative
Norris, of Nebraska, introduced a
resolution today requesting the presi-
dent to send to the house all the in
formation in his possession or that
of the state department in regard to
the killing of James Wood Rogers, an
American, by British soldiers in
Africa, and to inform the house what
action has been taken or is contem-
plated to investigate the affair.
The resolution was referred to the
foreign affairs committee.
Norris said he regarded the shooting
as an outrage on American citizens,
but that the killing on Belgian soil
complicated the case. His unofficial
opinion is that the United States
might have to look to Belgium in
stead of England for justice, leaving
Belgium to seek reparation in turn
from Great Britain.
The death of Rogers, who was al
legged to be an elephant poacher and
Illegal ivory hunter, followed a search
of months by Capt. Fox and several
companions, who were instructed not
to return without the alleged outlaw,
dead or alive.
Dramatic in the extreme is Can't.
Fox's description of the death of Rog-
ers. In the jungle into which they
had descended from the mountain his
party came suddenly upon a camp. A
native approached the English officer
and said:
The commander wants you to come
in. He is sick and cannot come out"
Entering the hut Capt. Fox found
himself in a room dimly lighted by
candle. A white man was lying on a
couch and beside him sat companion,
also white. For a time there was a
dead silence, Capt. Fox believing he
had been led into a trap. Then he
asked:
TRAPPED AT LAST.
which is Rogers?"
Mr.. Rogers has been shot," replied
the outlaws companion.
Yes" interrupted Rogers, "and by
your men,"
Come, stand right here so I can
look at you," Rogers continued. His
eyes were blazing and from beneath a
blanket he drew a revolver and pointed
IT at the officer.
Il am dying man, / guess" he said.
| I didn't think they could kill old Rog-
ers, but they got him this time"
still you are in Belgian territory,
and you stand more chance for arrest
than / do"
Fearing that the revolver which
menaced him might be discharged at
any moment, Capt. Fox argued with
the outlaw to gain time. Finally Rogers
turned to his companion whom he
addressed as doctor, and said: 81 want
you to witness what / say, doctor.

Sore Shoulders.

- =
If Indifferent and careless driv.
ers were compelled to endure a
fractional part of the suffering
borne by horses with sore should
ers, it is certain that much better
care would be taken of the horses
of the country. 1t is certain that
a man would pull few loads, if he
had a pair of sore shoulders.
In nearly every instance the
sore shoulders of the work horse
can be traced to an improperly
fitted collar or hame, or, still
worse, to poor care of the collar
which may fit the horse. The
collar worn by the horse should
have a bearing surface that is
smooth and pliable, and that fits
the shape of the shoulder accur-
ately. Over this collar the hame
should be adjusted so as to prop
erly locate the draft of the load.
If, in addition, the collar and the
shoulders of the horse are cared
for, the chances of sore shoulders
have been reduced to minimum.
Care should be observed in the
use of sweat pads. They should
be used only when the horse loses
flesh and the neck shrinks. In
that case another collar may be
advisable.
A collar, to fit accurately,
should conform to the shape OF
the shoulder and should be neither
too large nor too small. The
opening at the bottom of the col
lar between the collar and the
neck should admit the fiat of the
hand, and no more. The collar
should fit the sides of the neck
without pinching. A new collar
may be fitted the first time by
soaking the face of it in water.
It should never be used generally
on any other horse.
The draft of the tug should lie
about one-third way up on the
front of the collar, and, in every
case. the hames should fit the
collar when buckled snuglY.
The name oftEe horse should not
be permitted to work in under
the collar, and accumulations of
sweat on the collar should be re-
moved carefully every morning.
In the case of sore shoulders, the
owner should always remember
that IAN ounce eff prevention is
worth a pound of cure. 20. M.
Olson.

Owning An Auto.

Teere would seem from the out
side to be no good reason why a
farmer who owns a quarter sec
tion of good Kansas land and a
bank account should not also own
an automobile, if his taste leads
that way, says Kansas Farmer.
1t is trve that there are many who
would prefer a high stepping
team of horses for their motive
power and would really get more
enjoyment out of their care and
use than they would out of an
automobile. But a large num-
ber, perhaps a large majority,
would find the greatest pleasure
in the automobile. The modern
farmer is of a necessity a machin-
ist and the regulation and care OF
the automobile would be his first
pleasure in its ownership. The
fact that this machine practical
ly obliterates distance and brings
him hours closer to town, to
church or to social gatherings,
has money value as well as a
pleasure value, and most farmers
who have acquired a competence
in Kansas through their own ef.
forts, are men who are approach
ing middle Lie or have already
papped it. The years of hard
work which lay behind them war.
rant them in looking forward to
some relaxation of effort and
some pleasure for pleasures sake.
Instead of sacrificing the old
home ties, the keen interest in
life and large share of the finan-
cial income by renting the farm
and moving to town, the compar-
atively small investment necessa-
ry to the ownership of an auto
mobile will enable the farmer to
remain among his old neighbors,
retain his position of independ-
ence and activity on the farm,
keep hif boys and girls at home
and get eveh a keener enjoyment
Of the sights and scenes of town
or city life than he could possib-
ly do by dropping his old habits
of life and the activities which
serve to keep both mind and
body alert, and moving to town
where he has nothing to do but
acquire a ''grouch. 1t takes
years to build up friendship, as
vel! as habits, and, where these
are good, it is neither satisfact-
ory or safe to abandon them for
new and untried ones. With the
automobile belongs the good road,
the improved appearance OF the
farm and a new lease of life to
the farmer. There is nothing in
modern invention which so be-
longs to the farmer as does the
automobile unless, perhaps, it is
the rural telephone and the rural
free delivery. AS a business in
vestment, the automobile is more
valuable to the farmer team to
any other class of citizens except,
perhaps, it be the physicians.
