There are six In each group and they
appear on the back of the waist, but
not in the same position. They are
midway between the fastening and the
arms at the back and extend the
length Of the waist.
The sleeves are moderately long and
roomy enough to slip up away from

two little groups of pin tucks five In

witch, an Austrian, confined in
the Southern Idaho insane asylum
here, killed his five roommates by
beating them over the heads with a
table as they lay asleep.
The dead:
Bagley, Elias, Moreland
Pede, George, Boise.
Peterson, Hirum, Idaho Falls.
Race, George. Pocatello.
Shepherd, George, Pocatello.
There was no evidence of a strug-
gle between the maniac and his vic
tins except on the body Of Peterson.
Two bruises on his arm showed
that he had tried to ward off the
blows which Bradovitch was raining
on his head.
So quietly did Bradovitch accom-
plish the killing that guards sleep

The heads of all five men were com.
pletely crushed.
Bradovitch was committed to the
asylum two years ago from the state
penitentiary, where ne was serving q

Jefferson City.-The question of
whether the public service commits

utility commissions of states en-
braced in what is known as the south
western classification will accept the
figures Of the interstate commerce
commission upon physical valuation
as the basis for the determination OF
reasonable rates, or whether they will
make their own valuation OF utility
properties, will be discussed at a
meeting to be held at Des Moines, Ia.
June 6. The Dies MOines meeting will
be participated in by members OF util-
ity commissions or railroad boards Of
the states Of Missouri, Iowa, Kanas,

gress the interstate commerce COM
mission is empowered 10 make physi.
cal valuations OF the roads in any
state. These figures are available for
state authorities in the determination
Of rates. The Missouri commission, IT.
is known, is undecided whether to
ascertain the physical valuation of
Missouri railroads itself or take the
figures supplied by the agents Of the
interstate commerce commission.
