"By what means we're these fearful
atrocities perpetrated?"

sons drunk, and then suffocated them
by holding the nostrils and mouth
and kneeling on the body
ieDid you recetye any encourage

these atrocities?" alta
Eyes, we were frequently told by
Paterson that he would take as many
bodies as we could get for him. When
we got one he always told us to get
more"

"To DR.. -. We took the bodies

10 Ills house 10 receive the money for
them. Sometimes he paid us himself;
sometimes we we're paid by his as
sistants. No questions were ever
asked as to the mode in,which we had
come by the bodies. We had nothing
TO do but to leave body at the rooms
and to go and get the money"
The victims selected, Burke added,
we're generally elderly persons, since
they could more easily be asSassinat-
cd than those in the vigor Of youth.
Although Hare had been arrested
after the trial upon charge OF hav'
ing committed other murders, the pub
lie authorities eventually decided that
the charge should not be proceeded
with. This decision was partly a mat
ter OF nublic faith, but partly in view
of the fact that conviction would
have been difficult to secure. HareA
OWE confession was a privileged com
municatlon which could not be FRO
duced in evidence against him; thai
Of Burke would be equally useless, for
he would suffer the extreme penalty
OF the law before the case could come
up for trial; Hare's wife-for he
seems to have married the woman
I.aird-could not, in law, give EVIL
dence against him; while the test
mony Of the Mac Dougal woman, preju
diced as it must be through vindic
tiveness at the loss of her paramour
could not be relied upon. Great ex
element was created by this deter
minatIon Of the authorities. A peti
ton was presented to the High Cour'
of Justiciary' in the name of The
/ mother and sister Of DAFT jamie
the idiot, for warrant to detain Hare
in iail to answer the charge of hay
ing caused his death; but the cour
declined to interfere, the right o
prosecution lying in the hands of thu
Lord Advocate.

What Cadillaqua
Will Mean to Detroit
ay w. q. JARVIS.

Much has been said by others about
how Cadillaqua will increase the pres
tigc OF Detroit abroad, but believe II
will accomplish more good by bring
ing us here at home TO the full real
ization OF unequaled advantages OF our
beautiful city.
For many years we have been pay
ing out railroad fare to enjoy the pic
turesqueness OF the Hudson, the won
ders OF the Colorado. the fascination
OF the Nile and the historical Rhine,
all the time entirely overlooking the
fact that right here we have a river
offering water facilities far superior
TO anything found in any other coun-
try.
And Cadillaqua will open our eyes,
when we see hundreds OF thousands
of visitors going into OBSTACLES over
our own Detroit river and Lake st.
Clair. We will have here the most
wonderful array Of water sports the
world has ever known-being rivalled
only by the Olympic games In Stock
holm. Visitors will see for themselves
and make us realize also that the
splendid facilities OF the river and lake
fer water sports have much to do in
really making Detroit the city where
life is worth living"

College Boys Seab

JohnD. Rockefeller's school, the
University of Chicago, acted as a
strike-breaking institution during the
recent strike OF the Chicago press
men, The University has an "em-
ployment" bureau that furnishes sit
uations for students who are working
their way through school, and when
the Chicago newspapers found them
selves without men when the press
men struck, they applied to the bu-
reau for assistance.
"The University is not interested
one way or the other in the strike, .
declared the manager of the bureau
in an interview" at is interested
in helping its students to get an ed
ucation." About thirty Of the students
accepted work in the strike-bound of

However, many of the students
have expressed their opposition to
scabbing by the students. A severe
of the strike-breaking
was contained in the Daily Maroon.

SOCIAL UNREST.

In practically every country in the
world there is at the present time
more or less social unrest which is
viewed with alarm by the so-called
conservative class, who have gone on
for years with the conviction that this
world and the people thereof were
brought into being solely for their
use and benefit, and that this condi-
ton was to continue as long as time
But fortunately for the world a.
large the people are beginning to
learn that conditions as they have ex-
listed are not essential to the welfare
of society, and they are slowly but
surely making up their minds that a
change of some kind is absolutely nee
essary for the future well being of
the race and are taking steps to bring
about this change, the only question
being how best to bring about the
change with the least disturbance to
society. :,
The day when mne can be killed
and MANNED and their wrecked bodies
thrown on the industrial scrap heap
in order to furnish steam yachts and
automobiles for the 'better element"
of society without any consideration
for those who create wealth is fast
coming to loose; when society shall
continue to be practicallys inverted
by having children of tender years
compete on the industrial field with
their parents; when the courts, legis-
lative halls and officials in high place
are the puppets Of "big business"
when women are forced into life of
shame in order to keep body and soul
together; all of these conditions have
aroused the people to point where
they have determined to call halt
and inaugurate new era embodyi4g
the square deal" in fact as well as in
theory.
This social unrest, to our mind, is
one of the most potent factors for
good that could possibly occur and
the patience and wisdom of the people
in their Inauguration is healthy sign
that better things are in : store for
future generations.-Bulletin of the
Clothing Trades.

Legion Hits
Methods

"a situation such as now exists in
Chicago, where one large union in
any one industry remains at work
while the smaller ones strike or are
locked out, would never be possible
in Germany" declared Karl Legion,
president of the German trade unions
who is now touring America study
ing the American trade union move
ment, in an interview in Chicago,
wherethe pressmen of the Chicago
newspapers were locked out by the
publishers association.
If there is a lockout of any one
craft in Germany" said Legion,
there is a strike of eevry one in the
entire country working in that in
dustry. All the printing trades are
practically in one union, with the
exception of the bookbinders and
helpers, who are also strongly al
lied.
In case of strike, such as exists
in Chicago, all the single men are or
dered out of town and are given their
travelling expenses. They tour the
country from city to city, and there
by secure an education The paying
of travelling expenses amounts to no
more than the strike benefits would.
"This method of sending the men
through the country is greatly feared
by the employers, because when they
wish to open their shops they often
find themselves without enough men
to operate their plants"
