DOGS REAL DETECTIVES.
Two BIoodhounds Trail Murderers
of Family of Five.

Odessa, Sept. 21.-After vainly trying to
trace the murderers OF Hebrew family
of five persons named Fridmann, at a
village five miles from Kishineff, the local
police obtained the Odessa policies two
famous dogs, Spitz and PrinZ. Though
six days had elapsed since the crime,
Spitz picked up a trail. This led to a
temporary barrack occupied by a COM
pany of the Fourteenth Infantry Regi-
ment.
From beneath a straw sack Spitz
dragged out a bloodstained pair OF trous-
ers and tunit. Two soldiers then con-
fessed to the crime. This is the eleventh
murder case In which Spitz has tracked
down the culprit after the police lad
failed.

admiration to thr man who has done so
much toward the upbuiding of the au-

the finest monument that can be erect

himself built during his lifetime-a dis

perfect business organization, such as
that Of the Overland. And SO IT comes

MAY IMPROVE FRENCH TOBACCO
Conference Is Called to Consider
Protests of Consumers.

Paris. Sept. 2l.-There has been so much
grumbling about the tobacco and cigars
supplied by the State that something like
a crisis has arisen, and those function
aries who control the monopoly have
been Obliged to take action. They have
invited the tobacco sellers to kind of
conference. where they will give their
views on the demands they receive from
their customers and their opinions on
certain cigars and cigarettes and also on
the State matches, which, as every smok-
er knows. are far from perfect
1t is expected that, as a result of the
deliberations of this tobacco parliament,
there will be significant reforms. Smok-
ers argue that, as they pay dearly for
the products of the monopoly. some notice
should be taken of their requirements.
The conference will be renewed every
three months.
