The eaves-droppers are carpenters

The third hung onto the caves with the

nothing else to support him and the

which he suffered. Wednesday night.
Hospital authorities, realizing tina
Griffin could live only short time
notified the police of his condition
and Assistant Prosecutor Harry
keidan and Detectives Highland Good
visited the dying officer. Thursday
afternoon, TO take his ante-morten
statement of the affair.
/ There has been considerable eie
ment OF mystery about the shooting
which has baffled the police. and there
was lurking suspicion that Griffin
could throw more light on the affair
than he had done, but in his dyinl
statement, he stuck to his origina
! story OF shot from the darkness. az
he accosted young man in the alley
thinking the latter a disorderly per
| son.
! Griffin was told that he had only 8
few hours To live, and was informed
probably be his last
The only new light he threw on the
mystery causes the detectives TO sus
pect that robbery was the motive o.
his assailants, as Griffin remarked
that 1t was pay day, and that many
persons in the neighborhood knew
him, and knew when he carried money
with him.
Griffin said that he was passing the
alley on his way home in citizen
clothes, when he saw man lurking
near the alley mouth. He approached
the man. questioned him, and was talk
ing with him, when a figure OF another
man appeared from the darkness, far
Their up the alley, the man leveling q
revolver at Griffin and saying. Throw
up your hands" Both Griffin and the
man 10 whom he was talking. obeyeC
the command, but Griffin, thinking the
man was blutflng, whipped out his OWL
revolver, and was just raising it wheI
the stranger fired the fatal shot.
Griffin was still standing up, with
the revolver In his hand, and not &
cartridge empty, when Patrolmar
Joseph Thiery entered the alley
Thiery first grabbed Griffin, not know
ing that the latter was an officer al
the first glance. Seeing his mistake
he went after a suspect held by a
citizen.
Griffins description Of the two men
who figured In the case does not tally
with either Of the suspects who were
held for d while, and later released.
Police declare that the offer OF a
regard is the only way they can think
Of to get some clue to the policeman &
slayer. They figure that several per
sons know who did the shooting, and
that offer or a substantial reward may
cause someone to tell the secret.
Detectives High and Good went to
see the county auditors about offering
reward, Friday morning.

WASHINGTON. March 21.-The

on the friedman treatment of tuber-
culosis, to be published tomorrow.

said Or. Rucker, assistant surgeon
general, today. Work in the hygienic
laboratory is being carried on with all
possible expedition. The organism
used in this treatment is being studied
in every way. The study will neces-
sarily take a considerable time.
I'VE realize that sufferers from tu-
berculosis throughout the country are
waiting impatiently for any WORD
which may be given confirming Or.
Friedmanns claims. We regret to be
unable 10 give them any definite facts
Any scientific investigation worth

long our board will require to feel alb
soltuely sure in its conclusions, no
one can prophesy. Or. friedman
may have n whole truth: he may have
half truth; he may have no truth at
all"
The government will warn tuber-
culosis sufferers against travelling TO
seek treatment from Dr. friedman.
The federal bulletin will declare that
only special cases, selected by the
public health surgeons and Or. Fried
mann, will be treated. Warning will
also be made in the bulletin against
placing unfounded faith IN the er-
, ficacy OF the Friedman "cure" until
the federal experiments are con
cluded

cap. With fve swings. three see

providing amusements for the child
rem. about l50 OF who are in attend
ance At the grounds during the morn
ings. every inch of the space is
utilized. The rear yard Of the Settle
ment building is being used for the
Fairgrounds. and as the
space in use is but thirty by sixty-six
feet the need for more room is very
apparent.
No definite playground work has
vet been started, but, later classes

given instruction in useful work of
various kinds.
Miss Sarah Pyle, the Settlement
head worker, and a number of others
interested are desirious of obtaining
the vacant lot adjoining the Settle
ment building, which is much larger
than the present quarters, the ground
space being so by 900 feet, which
would make an ideal playground with
plenty of room for the necessary
equipments used in the work. The
possession of this lot would mean
much to the Settlement workers. who
are I'm hopes that their desire Of OBJ
tanning it will be gratifed in the near
future. Lack Of funds is the chief OBJ
stacle in the way Of fulhllment
