They have also arrested and persecuted a large number of AIban- ia-ns who recently returned to Koritsa from America and other foreign coun- tries, releasing them from detention only when the AIbanians had prom ised to join in the agitation for the incorporation of the district of Greece The British consul at Monastir has made a protest. with the Greek gov eminent on behalf of Americans. The whole affair forms part of the Greek terrorization of the Albanian popuIa- ton with the object of compelling them to agree to the inclusion of the whole of southern Albania in the Kingdom of Greece.
 Last week. Greek officials at Kor-, ftsa endeavored~ to take forcible pos. session of the American mission school, building but the housekeeper in charge refused to hand over the keys whereupon the Greek soldiers carried her off to prison.

 c. T. Erickson, who was in charge of Koritsa, returned to this country a few days ago, on leave, and is now in Boston. He and his wire were ex- pc1ied from Albania at the opening of Possibilities. Later they returned, to be arrested by the Greeks and imprisoned at SaIonika.
 Dr. Smith said that a girls school existed ot Koritsa for several years un- der native Christian auspices About five years ago the institution was talk en over by the Congregational Mission Board

ROCHESTER MUIR
 DER ADMITTED
Tragedy in Cemetery in f0Go- Remorse of Conscience Com pels Statement From Man Arrested For Larceny in Philadelphia.

The identity of the murderer of An ma Catharine Schumacher, a young girl, in Holy Sepulchre cemetery, Ro- chester, N. r., August+7, 1909, was es- tablished at Philadelphia last Satur- day night, it is believed, when ac- cording to Capt. Cameron of the Phil adelphia detective bureau, Jacob Wolf sohn, arrested for larceny, comics sed to having committed the deed. After his arrest in Philadelphia for larceny, guards say they noticed that he paced his cell and seemed remorseful and finally Saturday night wrote a note to the district attorney containing the simple statement that he had killed q girl in cemetery at Rochester and that her name was Schumacher.
 Relieved of this weight upon his mind, according to the detectives, later on gave them details of his self confessed crime. His alleged confes- sion as repeated by the detective was substantially as follows: WoIfsotn after saying that he had worked in a suburb of Rochester, said to be Bar-' nard, declared that he had to pass the cemetery on his way home each day, and that several times he saw the girl at a grave laying flowers upon it.
 1T firted with her and she smiled back at me- Wolfsohn confessed ac- cor6fng to the detectives The next = ther's grave and went up and spoke TO her. She did not try to run away from me and we agreed to see each other there the next day. She kept her ap-I pointment. I walked up to her and held her hand. I tried to kiss her. but she resented this and tried to run away. I grabbed her by the arm and began choking her. She screamed but no one heard her, and then grabbed her around the throat and strangIed her. She then died"
 Continuing his story as brought out by questioning, according to the detec- lives, Wo1fsohn said: EI then attacked her and after that dragged the body to the woods in the cemetery. I was going to cover the body with leaves, but found a gravedigger's spade and dug a hole large enough to place the and leaves. No one knows how suf- fered for doing this. I could keep 1t secret no 1onger.''
 wolfsohn was left alone for the re- mainder of the night, and the detec- tivee questioned him yesterday. They said he stuck to the story substantial ly first related, except that he re- tracted the statement that the girl had ffirted with him This he said, ac- cording to Capt Cameron, was not true

Y., four years ago. -r telling the truth.

TO CHANGE THE NAME OF

argument in support of scheme to
change the name of Snake to Lewis
river, his idea being to give additional
fame to the already famous explorer
whose adventurous career is so closely
identified with the early history of the
northwest. 1t seems rather late In the
day to give serious consideration to
such a proposition. The names of
Lewis and Clarke are already perpetu-
ated In every state In the northwest
by cities, counties and rivers named

/ Those who are framing new
tariff law may well pause to conten-
plate the stupendous interests at
stake. Twenty billions of capital and
five billions In wages annually are in
volved In American manufacturing
enterprises.
In the race for the world trade this
colossal industry is out stripping
every other, even including the pro.
ducts OF Americas matchless farms.
When the Civil War began over 81
per cent. of all exports from the
United States was labeled agriculture
and only IL per cent manufactures
Since then the American manufac
turer has fairly outrun the American
farmer In contest for the world mar
kets And today, magnificent as are
the exports of agriculture products,
they are completely overshadowed by
the output of the mills. Manufactured
exports are now third greater than

THE COST or LIVING.

Many countries are represented a,
the tenth international congress Of
agriculture, now in session at Brus-
sells. A leading topic is the cost OF
food throughout the world A former
French premier NJ Meline occupied
the chair and delivered the inaugural
address, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. He gave figures showing
that the population OF the world is in
creasing while the production of GER
calls is declining even In the most fer
tile countries. He was emphatic on
the need Of stopping the rush of peo-
pie from the rural districts to the
cities. AS he views the conditions
food prices will go higher. 1t may
surprise some of the democrats who
insisted last year that the American
tariff Is responsible for the advance
in the cost Of food that the subject
has not been mentioned at Brussels.
Such a claim would be treated by this
scientific gathering as too fantastic
to be worth attention The United
States, under protective system, has
been selling larger surplus of food
than is raised by any other country.
and its tariff rates have no special
bearing on the market basket prob
lens of other nations.
Democratic papers are trying to
break the force of the impending dis
appointment In tariff revision. BE-
fore the election they promised imme-
diate relief. They know now at least
that the pledge can not be fulfilled.

HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES.

| The fact that some of our most sue.
cessful business men had nothing
more than common school education
and some Of them not that, should moi
be taken as an argument against
college training. In fact the men who
have succeeded without college edu-
cation are the ones who thoroughly
recognized it's value and Importance.
Most Of them began their careers at
a time when the educational advan-
tages Of the country were compar-
atively limited, otherwise the deter
mined spirit which won for the bust
ness success would have first won for
/, them an education
Compared with the schools of forty
or fifty years ago, the high school of
today offer liberal education, but 1t
should not be accepted as sufficient
by the ambitious young man and
woman when course at the univer-
sity Is within reach. And 1t is within
the reach Of those with the determi-
nation to so after it. OF course there
are cases when a graduate from the
high school finds 1t necessary to go
to work to help support his family,
and in doing SO he is performing his
first and highest duty. But when not
incumbered with this responsibility,
he should not permit the lack OF means
to deprive him of a university course.
Both young women and men In Idaho
can generally earn enough during the
summer to go long way toward
carrying them through the year at
college and means can be found
there to make up the deficiency. 1t is
therefore up to the high school gradu-
ate himself whether he will stop at
what seemed to be the summit, or
whether he will take up the higher
course which will fit him for a wider
field of usefulness and activity in
whatever direction his ambition takes
him.
