ILLNESS DRIVES HER INSANE
Mrs. Mary Schneider, Living Near
DotyvilIe, Kills Three Chill
dren and Herself.

Mrs. Mary Schneider, wife OF Mich
olas Schneider, a farmer residing
two miles east of Dotyville, killed her
three children and herself, using
razor and butcher knife as weapons.
The children were John, five years
old: Norbert, three years old, ana
Florence, two years old.
When last seen alive Mrs. Schneider
was occupying a chair in the kitchen
of her home, holding her boy John IN
her lap.
Her sister-in-law, Ida Schneider, who
has been her companion, left the house
on m errand. On returning some MIN
utes later she found the room vacant.
Not finding Mrs. Schneider or the
children in adjoining rooms she went
out doors again and still finding no
trace of them went to the upper cham
bers.
Pushing open the door OF back
bedroom a CHASTITY sight met her gaze.
There in the cradle lay the baby, FLOR
ence. with it's head almost severed
the bed, while Norbert, his head hang
ing by q ligament, lay on the floor
Near the three lifeless children was
the body of the mother. A bloody razor
was I'm the bed and butcher knife lay
BIZ the side of the woman.
Miss Schneider made an effort to re
vfve the victims, but life was extinct
She then rang the farm bell and
summoned the husband of the dead
woman from field a quarter OF
mile away.
Mrs. Schneider had been i'll for about
a week and had expressed fear lest
she might become insane.
From appearances it would seen
that John, who was awake at the time
OF the crime, was placed between two
sheets and his head severed with the
razor. The other two children evl
IDENTITY were slain while they slept.

Washington, June 14.-Beet sugar
interests and their efforts to retain

The extent to which public docu-

pies. He knew of no improper in
fuences or lobbying methods during
four years in the house and twenty
two years in the senate.
Gallinger took exception to test1
mony of Senator Hollis of New Hamp
shire, in which William Whitman
Winthrop l.. Marvin, Herman F
Straw and other New England textile
representatives were referred to as
lobbyists
Chairman Overman asked Senator
Gallinger for his opinion on the

senate. 1t developed in testimony
that such a thing had been done in a

Senator Gallinger's statements in

Senator Reed asked a final question
What do you think of a public of

From my own inability to define

LOGS FOUGHT OVER NO GOOD
Timber Which Caused Detz War at
Cameron Dam Worthless.

A huge hill of white pine logs, over
which John Deitz, the defender of
Cameron dam, fought a civil war,
which cost several lives and for
which Deitz now is serving a life
term in the state penitentiary for
murder, has been declared worthless
by timber inspectors.
Ten years ago the Weyerhaeuser
company had gathered the logs and
they were forced upon the DeitZ farm
by backwater. The backwoods farmer
refused to allow the drivers to re-
move them until he had been paid a
royalty on every log, to repay real
or fancied grievance against the lum-
Der trust.
