turned he was bent, white-haired and
crippled with age. Relatives in the
west set Mrs. Howard on his trail
three years ago and he was found in
Dodge City, Kansas. In the meantime
the Howards-mother and sons, had
moved to Jackson.
1t was a strange reunion. Howard
was unable to remember Mrs. Howard
as his wife. But he remembered La
porte and was able to tell of his wan
derings. From this and from frag
ments of speech he dropped as he sits
and dreams day by day, the family
have been able to piece together some
of his history.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 81
Data gathered by the local chamber
of commerce for it's special committee
on flood prevention shows that in
many cities stricken by the floods OF
last March steps have been taken to
prevent a repetition of the disasters.
A logged determination was shown in
the replies to the chambers queries to
wipe out all danger of such floods at
any cost.
This was the spirit evinced in the
Dayton and the Columbus replies and
the officials of these two cities appar-
emily believe that they would get the
bond issues to back up the prevention
plans. John Basel, general secretary
of the Columbus chamber of COM

Want Bond Issue.

when these plans are received it
is the purpose of the city to vote a
bond issue, and, no matter what the
cost may be, meet for all time the is
sue that will present itself. We will
not continue with such a menace con-
fronting the city. In this mind the
people stand as a unit"
Edward A. Deeds, member of the
Dayton flood prevention committee,
wrote: 1.-The Morgan Engineering
company has been at work three
months in the field making complete
survey. They have instructions to
prepare complete plans which will
guarantee our city against another
disaster, and expect to have within
year the plans complete and the work
started"
Hamilton, Ohio, which lost over 100
lives and over $9,000,000 in property,
reported through G. R. Greer, secre-
tary of the citizens committee, that a

view that will be an absolute guaran-
ty against a second inundation."

For Sex Hygiene.

FOr Sex HyBlSHcs
DR.. Thomas NJ Ballot, dean of the
school of pedagogy at New York Uni
versity; President William Trufant
Foster, of Reed college, Oregon, and
DR.. Hugh Cabot of Harvard Univer-
sity, spoke on the subject of instruc-
ton for teachers and preparation OF
text books in sex coures. Attention
was called especially to the report OF
the American federation for sex hys
giene which favors the use of nature
study and biology as medium for
sex instruction and which opposes in
struction in the schools by sex special
lists. 1t was argued that the sex
specialists not trained to teach children
could not satisfactorily go into the de-
tails necessary without possibility OF
offending sensitive natures of the
children. On the other hand, it was
pointed out, teachers specially trained
in sex hygiene could, with their know
ledge of instruction, be made to be
better fitted for this somewhat delicate
task
One of today's features was the di-
cussion of oral hygiene in sympos-
ium arranged by the National Hygiene
association. Attention was called to
experiments worked out in the Cleve-
land schools where, it was declared,
very good results have been obtained.
Classify the Pupils.
DR.. j. E. w. Wallin, of the Univer-
sity of Pittsburg, called attention to
the need of municipal provision for
clinics for the purpose
of classifying school children mental
ly only thus" said DR.. Wallin, can
we economically and scientifically
train all the children of all the peo-
ple"'
Under the topic, Health Direction
in the Public Schools" DR.. Clinton T.
McCord, medical inspector of schools
'or the city of Alabny, remarked that
he health director should be the Of
icer to keep the physical needs of the
child before the public and education

expert for the board of education

SUICIDE

Morgan. the suspected murderer OF
Walter Irwin, may have committed
suicide fearing to come to trial for
the Irwin murder.
The Cripple Greek Times-Record
says:
by a statement from a former pa

the mystery around the death OF
Charles Morgan. the escaped convict
and boy bandit charged with the
murder OF Walter Irwin. was cleared
up. Morgan committed suicide. that

soon after he died. but where he OBJ
tanned the poison was not known until
few days ago when Sheriff Won
Phul obtained a confession from one
OF the patients at the hospital. Nor
gan stole the poison and added a lit
tie morphine to 1t each day from his
ration.
Morgan committed suicide by taking
an overdose OF morphine. when he fiu-
ally realized that the authorities had
a clear case against him and that he
would have to stand trial. Rather than
face jury he calmly prepared for ais
death writing farewell notes 10 bis

he took the large dose OF morphine
which he had kept hidden through the
many weeks he was in the hospital.
Morgan originally stole the poison.
He took small brown bottle OF NOR
phine from a case of drugs when the
nurse had gone from the room for a
moment. This was when he first went
to the hospital and when his craving
for the drug was the worst. When the
doctors began to cut down the doses,
Morgan also cut them more than the

Since Mr.. Huntoon sold out his in

Recently he took a trip back to

find no place SO desirable to live in
and to invest in as Canon City. SO he
came back few weeks ago with the

TAXES FOR

FULL VALUE

Denver, April 9.-Taxes for 1914 will
be paid on a full cash valuation AS
sessments on all property will be
made for 1918 on a full cash basis,
the assessors OF Colorado's sixty-two
counties decided at yesterdays session
at the state capitol. They agreed
without exception. that this plan will
aid materially in solving the states
financial problem. and at the same
time will place every property holder
In the state on the same plane.
1t was brought out that while 1t
has been generally supposed assess
ments have been made on a one-third
valuation, in some counties assess
ments have been made on a valuation
OF less than one-fifth. The revenue
was sufficient for county needs, but
the contributions toward the operating
of the expenses OF the state were less
than their just proportion. Assess
ment on full cash basis eliminates
all unfairness. tax experts say.
The livestock basis used by the
0tero county assessor. was voted the
most complete submitted. Copies will
be furnished all county assessors. In
Otero livestock is assessed as follows:
work horses. $50 to $40; range horses

It is beautiful sight and being form

sight for tourists and others visiting
the city. 1t is just short trip an
there and would make n splendid
