TRACE CLEW TO AK MURDER
Iowa Man Will Confront Henry Lee
Moore, Suspected Convict, at
Missouri Penitentiary.

Villisca, IoWa.-That Henry Lee
Moore, the Missouri convict, who
is now said to be the notorious ak
murderer, may be the nan who killed
eight people in Vil1isca last summer,
is believed in Villisca SO strongly that
an officer will at once be dispatched
to Missouri to see Moore. With him
will go Joseph S%tillinger, father of
two of the murdered children. 1t is
thought possible that Moore was en-
ployed by Stillinger for a week a
short time before the murders, and
that at the time went under the name
Of Hellum. Villasco officers believe
Moore's study of crime induced him
to assume another name and that his
own initials, pronounced rapidly, &C.
counts for the name Hellum. The Vii
lisco officers will go to Missouri ear
ly next week.

BABIES SOLD LIKE ANIMALS
Illinois Legislator Scores President of

Peoria, Illinois.-Dr. d. S. Adams,
president of the McDonough Coun-
W Orphanage at McComb, was
reprimanded when he appeared before
the Illinois house committee invesri-
eating baby farms" Adams pro-
fessed to know little about the af-
fairs of the institution and said he
forgot to bring any books bearing on
its financial conditions.
They think of hay and horses
in Illinois than they do of Children"
said H. E. Lloyd, acting chairman. Il
am absolutely amazed at the condi-
tons we have discovered. We found
that babies have been bartered and
sold like animals, that they have been
sent out of the state without any
chance that their parents, ii they are
known, ever finding them again In
other words, they are disposed Of
without any reference whatsoever as
to their future"

PARLIAMENT CHEERS KING
RULER DEFENDS ACTION IA
CALCULATING SCUTARI.
Declared AnnihiIation Inevitably
Would Have Followed If Monte
negro Had Not Yielded.

Cettinje.-King Nicholas person
ally went before the Skupshtina,
the national parliament, and de-
Tended his action in giving way to
the powers on the question of evacu-
ating Scutari. He declared that an
Inhalation inevitably would have fol-
lowed If Montenegro had not yielded.
He added that Russia had promised
to protect Montenegro's interests in
the ambassadorial conference in Lon
don and elsewhere. The statement
was well taken and Nicholas was
cheered.
Later the appointment of Gen. Jan
ko Vukotitich to be premier and min
lister of war was announced. He led
a wing of the arnA in the investment
of Scutari.
Nearly all the Montenegrin troops
have now left Scutari, the evacuation
having begun. The formal surrender
will not take place until Sunday. An
Austrian steamer will convey the
commanders of the foreign warships
blockading the M~ontenegrin coast to
Scutari, where the formal ceremonies
will occur.
M. ~Plamentatz, special commission
er OF the Montenegro government,
has been sent by King Nicholas to
confer witfr Admiral Burney, comman-
der-in-chief of the international block
aiding squadron.
King Nicholas feels keenly the hui
initiation of losing Scutari and it is
again reported he will abdicate in
favor of Grown Prince Danilo.

The organization, the detectives
have learned. is known as the "Y. H.
B." Investigation, they say, brought
forth the information that the women
are called the young hot bloods."
Inspector Lawrence of Scotland
Yard says that when the union head
quarters were raided, documents re-
lating to the secret organization were
found. He revealed this information
at the trial of the suffragettes charged
with making inflammatory speeches.
A Scotland Yard detective testified
that in the union headquarters raid
he found eight bottles of benzine con-
cealed in a travelling bag in the office
used by Miss Kenney.

TAFT RULE IS REsGINDE0
CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATIONS
ARE ORDERED.
A~ppolntees Of Fourth class Postof-
fees Must Pass Test, Postmas-
ter General Announces.

Washington, D. C.-Postmaster
General Burleson announced Issuance
by President Wilson of an executive
order in effect resembling. President
Taft's action putting f~ourth-class
p~ostmasters in the civil service and
requiring henceforth that all post
masters of this class must pass COM
petitlve examinations. Burleson also
made public two postal regulations
covering the plan.
The presidents executive order
specifies that all postmasters in the
fourth class receiving more than $3.50
annually must hereafter pass exam
nations under civil-servicee rules.
This means that the Republican post
masters of the fourth class must pass
such a test to keep their jobs, and,
moreover, must pass higher than 9TH
er applicants.
Burleson's regulations propose that
applicants must meet qualifications
for fitness laid down by postal in
speetors who, according to the new
rules, are to visit cities where there
is a vacancy. The inspectors report
is to be transmitted to the civil SER
vice commission for its information.
Discussing this new plan, Burleson
said:
Il feel that President Taft's order
did not go far enough in that it failed
to apply a merit system to the entire
service it was aimed to cover. 1t had
the effect of placing within the classi-
fed service a large number of post
masters who had not been required to
demonstrate their fitness for such ap
pointments."
