Grifted into day of quiet and pur-

When none of the expected decisions
was handed down there was some ex
preston both of surprise and disap-
pointment; for it is now exactly two

the tendency of prices was toward re-

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April 14.-Lea
Gierlaski, roomer in the home OF Ga
briel Schwartz who wss murdered
Wednesday night, was held without
bond today following his testimony at
the coroner's inquest. Mrs. Schwartz
was held on high bond charged with
completely in the murder.
The theory is that the woman and

Schwartz and did so In manner that
would Indicate suicide.
Gierlaski was the first one notified
of the death by Mrs. Schwartz, and
the two did not notify the police I'M
til the next morning.
Although warned by Coroner Rhodes
that he need not testify unless he
choose to, Gierlaski readily agreed to
take the stand.
He was in saloon a block from
the home when the shot was fired, he
said. Sharp questioning failed tc
shake the story.

New Company Formed and Ice VIII
be Made In keokuk This Sum-
mer Beginning About the
Middle of June.
EIGHTH AND JOHNSON
Latest Type Of Machinery VIII be In
stalled for Manufacturing Ice
and Work Begins This
Week.

Announcement was made today
from the office of Charles s. Pond
that an artificial ice plant was assur-
ed for Keokuk and that 1t would bs
in active operation by the middle of
June. The machinery is ordered and
part of 1t is enroute to Keokuk
The plant will be located at Eighth
and Johnson streets, In the old ice
house and work is now in progress,
cleaning up the place and preparing 1t
for the reception of the machinery.
Among the men included in the
company, which is not incorporated,
are G. H. Kane, of Chicago, H.,
F. A. Fowler, OF Chicago, Harry Irwin,
of Keokuk and several others. Al.
though all the men interested in the
project are stockholders in the Swift
company, it is stated that the plant is
not Swift holding.
Mr.. Anderson, who operated two ar
tiflcial ice plants in Chicago, was in
the city yesterday and conferred with
the stockholders in the new company,
who asked that he assist them In the
matter.
1t Is planned to manufacture a
quality Of ice that will be unsurpass
ed for purity. Unlimited capital is
claimed for the new company and the
plant, which will be originally built
with capacity of twenty-five tons
daily, will be enlarged as the bust
:, ness of the company warrants. 1t Is
also said that cold storage plant viii
be added later.
1t is thought that the coming OF the
factory to Keokuk will result in the
lowering of the price of ice in thu
city, which was threatened to be high
or due to the small ice harvest from
the river by the natural ice dealers
here. and the consumers will welcom
the plant.
The machinery for the plant is o
2 the latest type and will begin arriving
> at Keokuk by the latter part OF tn
week. Work on the building is nov
going on and the installation of tn
machinery is matter OF only a few
! weeks.
Mr.. Pond declared this Afternoon
$ that the company would drill wei

about year ago the newspapers told
how an eruption of Chiriqui volcano
had flung death and destruction far
over Western Panama. This proved
to be newspaper story, for the
last explosive outburst Of the noun
tain did not occur in 1912, but many
hundreds Of centuries earlier.
"The majestic Chiriqui Peak stands
as a king among mountains. Towering
over 1000 feet above sea level, it
overlooks all the other rugged crests
Of Western Panama. From its sum-
NIT, on clear day, one can see the
wide coastal plain Of David meeting
the lowlying shore of the Pacific, forty
miles away. Streams, like loose-lying
silvery threads flung oceanward, tie
the mountains to the sea, and on their
banks here and there, are distant
specks Of little native villages. Scat
tered grazing herds dot the nearer
plains, and tiny dust cloud, barely
visible in the blue haze Of the distant
valley, tells Of a train of bull carts
toiling from David out to the coffee
plantations, near the foot Of the
mountain.
Turning then to the northward,
one may behold lessening waves of
mountains dimming in the distance,
where they meet the wide embay-
ments Of the caribbean shore. In
the bays and beyond the headlands
dark inland spots are scattered along
the landward margin of the sunlit
sea. These remnants of submerged
mountain group stand like a strug-
Cling rearguard protecting the main
shore line against the foamcrested
trade wind waves.

Slightly shocked when he realizes
that he is only on the top Of an ash
heap, for this mighty peak was built
up by emanations of volcanic ash and
derbis, blown out during long cen
turies from a crater, or group of
craters. The last explosion, or series
Of explosions, was more violent than
the rest, for it blew the top off the
mountain, and scattered the derbis far
and wide, burying the surrounding
country under some hundreds Of feet
OF volcanic ash and ejectamenta.
Later, streams formed on the new sur
face, and these slowly entrenched
themselves in the new volcanic forma-
ton. The Caldera river thus exca-

Shawl Women Of Mexico

Writing of Mexican drawnwork, the
Craftsman says that in Mexico anc
all Spanish-speaking countries drawn
work makers are known by the prett,
name Of "perfiladoras." They are
mainly women in the middle class
familiarly known as "black shawl
women to distinguish them from the
lower class, who wear a blue cottoI
robozo over the head and about thc
shoulders instead Of the black WOO
shawl. In certain sections Of Mexico
nearly all women and children anl
some of the men are engaged in max
ing this lacelike fabric.
Imperial Valley press., 1913-09-27

Interesting in connection with this
industry is that fact that not long
ago each Mexican state, and some
times rich parish, claimed it's de-
signs as private property, and the
tacit copyright was not to be infringed
upon by neighboring communities.
Drawnwork was not 50 common then
as now. 1t was then used chiefly as
altar cloths in churches and for the
decoration Of the shrines in homes.
The pattern known as the Gross
and Crown is one Of the oldest and
most valued of the historical stitches.
Many Of the stitches have Biblical or
religious names. Senator Porfiro Diaz
founded school in the City of Mexico
for teaching and encouragement IN
the art Of drawing linen.

According to the article in the

According to the article in the
Craftsman, one Of the centers Of man
ufacture is Aguas Calientes, and for
number Of years American tourists
bought the finest work there, but all
the skillful fingers and bright eyes il
Mexico have suffered comparative
idleness during past two years. With
the breaking out Of revolution the
tourist travel ceased and thriving in
dustry was cut short The writer
predicts, however, that it will be re
vived when the country is pacifed,
but those who have good collections Of
drawnwork in different patterns may
congratulate themselves, for the
reason that the old skilled workers
who knew the history Of the various
stitches are passing away.
