Tell True Story of Killing.
Omaha, Neb.As the result Of con-
fession made by another man on what
he supposed was to be his deathbed
Charles Kotf of Vallejo, CAL, is to be
brought back to Nebraska and tried
for the murder Of Julian Buhuard, q
miner, of Julian, Neb., fourteen years
ago. On a charge Of being implicated
In the same crime Fuller Shellenberger
of Burlington, Kan, also will be tried,
the prosecution being based on the con
fession, made when he thought he was
dying, last July after being Frustrated
by heat.
In questioning Kotf about the muir
der the authorities will use very deli
cate instrument known as the electro
cardiograph, which records on mo-
ton picture film the electric impulse
generated by the human heart under
the stress of emotions. Evidence thus
recorded would not be admitted during
a trial of person for murder, but the
record will be valuable for. scientific
reasons.
There are only five electrocardio-
graphs in America, four being in the
east and the one to be used on KOtf
being at the University of Nebraska.
The instrument records the hearts
fluctuations through fiber so delicate
It cannot be seen by the naked eye.
The movement of the fiber is therefore
passed through small telescope, and
by the aid Of an electric arc lamp its
shadow is recorded on, the fllms The
instrument was invented by Professor
E1nthoven of Leyden, Holland.
According to Shellenberger's confess
sion, Buhuard kept his money in tin
can, which was cut open with a hatch
ct after the aged miner had been slain.
In removing the money from the can,
Shellenberger says, Kotf cut one Of
his hands so badly on. the jagged tin
that scar was left and may be seen

thorities will show him can like the
one described by Shellenberger and
without letting him know Shellenber-
ger has made confession will refer to
things Of which shellenberger spoke
concerning the crime. Scientists say
he may be able to control his facial ex-
preston and appear perfectly cain
but that the electrocardiograph never
theless will record the telltale varia-
lions in the beating of his heart as he
hears or looks upon things associated
with the murder. sE7
Shellenberger has repudiated his con
fesston, saying he was delirious when
he made It. He is in a Nebraska Jail,
however, and must face trial. Kotf
has been employed at the Mare Island
navy yard at San Francisco for the
last nine years. After Shellenberger
confessed detectives took up Kotf's
trail and arrested him.

BOYS CORN CLUB
TO ORGANIZE

In accordance with the plan agreed
upon for the organization OF a boys
corn club in Cooke county meeting
of all boys and men interested in corn
raising is called for Saturday, April
10, at 10 o'clock a. M, in the court
house at Newport. This meeting is
called for the purpose of organization
and election of officers, and 1t is hoped
that every boy who is interested In
corn raising, whether he expects 70
enter any OF the contests or not, will
present. Those boys who expect to-
enter the contest should 60 to work at
once preparing their acres for planting
before the time of this meeting. The
work Of this club will in no way inter-
fere with the Journal and Tribune con-
test, but will be of great advantage to
the boys entering for the prizes offered
by that paper, and every one in that
contest should be member of the
Cooke county club. The officers are
to be elected from among the boys
themselves, and they will work under
the supervision of an advisory COM
mittee.
Prof. Driskill, who was asked Tor
take charge Of the work, and superin-
tendent McMahan have asked the fol-
lowing gentlemen to act as organizers
in the various districts: First, Will
Jones, Del Rio; Second, T. +. Ellison,
| ParrottsvilIe; Third, Chas. Lowell, By
bee; Fourth, w. A. O'Neil, Newport,
Il. No. / Fifth, Field Large, Cosby;
Sixth, John Stokely, Newport; Seven
tn, David Brooks, Bridgeport; Eighth
Samuel Sisk, Newport, r. No. a.
Ninth, John Jenkins, Cosby. These
men are urged to take up the work Of
organizing club in each district and
| to see that the boys come to Newport
for the meeting of the county club.
! Gentleman, you could not be called
upon to do q more important work
than this, and it is your duty TO give.
some time to it, and this be of great
service to the boys and to the country.
Ii you cannot find enough boys In
your district to form club, you can
at least urge and encourage any you
may find TO come to the Newport meet
INC. We should have IS boys in Cooke
county interested in this work.
| 1t is sometimes asked il this work IS
really worth while. In answer to this,
one instance may be cited that is snf-
! ticient proof that it is worth while. In
Mississippi the average yield per acre
for the whole state has been increased
| four bushels as direct result Of The
corn club work. Just think what an
increase Of this much would mean TO
our country.
| Let every one interested in farming
get behind this work aud push it.

| The Board of Aldermen met with
the school board Tuesday night and as
a result the school board will be given
more latitude this year and many inn
provements will be made. In the ep
preparation bill the school board will
be given $500 which together with
$1,000 now on hand will make total
sum of $7700 for school purposes this
year. OF this amount $4,000 Will be
paid in salaries, il being the entention
! of the board TO raise the salaries of the
teachers of some of the grades and thus
improve the quality of the teaching.
A heating apparatus isto be installed
in the building at an approximate cost
of 81 900 and two rooms are to be fitted
up for school purposes thus doing away
with the primary school now main

the speaker packed the rules commit

trolled by the fusion forces, up to a
stand-pat, regular, back-taN, whiskey
organization. The :'gag" rule was then
adopted whereby this committcecould
set any bill for special order by the
will of the majority instead of by n
two-thirds vote ofthe house, as was
provided by the original rules of the
house and which Is the custom in all
parliamentary bodies. These law en-
torcement bills are in the hands of this
committee. Following this disposition
of the law enforcement bills the new
election bill was called up and passed.
Other bill were introduced and shot
through the house. In the number Of
such retaliatory measures was the
auditors bill repeating the act creating
a state auditor, which passed early in
the session. This bill was the most i'm

SHOW CAUSE

Continued from Page y
of the first part of the session when
the law enforcement bills were recon-
mended for passage by the judiciary
committee. 1t came when republicans
and independent democrats members
of the judiciary committee, called up
the law enforcement bills for the ac-
ton of the committee. Present at that
meeting were Representatives Bryant
of Gibson; Taylor, of Jefferson; both
regular democrats, and they aided The
republicans and independent uernocrats
in calling up these bills, and they
voted for their recommendation for
passage apparently taking great de-
light in so doing. The bilswerc recon-
mended for passage by the committee.
This action struck CONSERVATION in the
hearts of the Shelby coun,ians, but
the rupture between the republicans
and the independent democrats and
Shelby countians did not come until
the following day. On the following
day Jno. 1. Cox, of Sullivan county, a
former back tax attorney, called uD g
law enforcement bill for the inter-
change Of judges which nc gathered
from the committee. With his face
flushed and tears streaming down his
furrowed cheeks he spoke on temper
ance, detailing his experiences as a
barefoot country boy with the demon
strticn, saying that lie bad determined
to turn over new leaf and fight for
what the people wanted. lie said he
wanted his bill set for special order
for that day lie pleaded for q chance
to prove his sincerity to the temper
ance and law enforcement people OF
the state. His bill, along with other
law enforcement measures, were not
set for special order that day because
they lacked a two-thirds vote which is
necessary, but they were all set for a
special order March 20 at eleven
o'clod.
During the debate on the question
Speaker Stanton attacke ed John l Cox,
charging him with almost every crime
on the calendar ana with being the
representative of every pefarions in

with Cox for setting The law enforce

The Income Tax in France

Washington Post: French bankers
are now protesting with great earn
estness because the new American in
come tax implies upon them the per-
sonal obligation of fulfilling formali-
ties which they detest-the opening of
their hearts to the American authori-
ties and the revelation of the very
things they refuse to reveal in their
own country.
Frenchmen are impatient under
fiscal inquisition, and have already
made it plain that they prefer to sell
American securities at a loss rather
than make a quarterly confession.
The income tax on bonds, mortgag-
es, receivers certificates and other
similar investments is now levied on
foreign citizens. The foreigners must
file certificates to prove their citizen
ship in the foreign country and to
prove the ownership of the coupon. If
they buy or sell American securities
they are compelled to go through
formalities which are distasteful to
them, and the consequence is that the
sale of American bonds in France is
falling off.

RECEIVER HOLABIRD PLAYS
SHREWD TRICK ON NO. 8

Brawley News: Failure of Receiv-
er w. II. Holabird, of the California
Development Company, to press
strongly request for court order
authorizing him to expend funds in his
possession for the enlargement of the
Brawley main led to denial by the
court of such permission.
The receiver asked permission to
increase the capacity of the Rrawley
main sufficiently to carry the added
supply needed by Water Co. No 8, if
/ the new fume across New river, near
Brawley, is constructed.
He urged the court to grant the
order, but at the same time, according
to Secretary Neeley of the No. 8 Co.,
who was present, laid little stress
upon the matter. The petition was
denied.
Suggestion was made that the re-
ceiver and the No. 8 company COM
promise law suit involving the pos
session of 1920 shares of stock.
Should this be done, it was proposed
that the proceeds from the sale at
$15 share, be devoted to the extern
sion of the No. 8 system as we'll as
the work proposed to be done by the
receiver.
Hitherto the directors of No. 8 have
refused to accede to any such terms,
claiming that the receiver should
furnish sufficient water at the deliv-
cry points, while the amount re-
ceived from the sale of stock should
be applied to the completion of the
system.
In view of the necessity for the
delivery of a larger supply of water
to the No. 8 system, it is possible
that the directors may be compelled
to accept the receivers terms, out
rageous though they believe them to
be.
Save for the authorization of the
expenditure Of $4,000 for a dredge,
the other phases of the hearing were
