tions of the detectives. Brannon and Macke charge that Turner was the ne- gro who kept watch outside the AL exander store while Todd went inside and killed the proprietor and robbed the cash register.
 Detectives Brannon and Macke will appear before the grand jury this morning and present their case against the negroes. The detectives hope to indict them immediately and 1t Is un- derstood that a speedy trial in ths criminal court will be arranged.
 Last Tuesday night. two negroes entering the store of J. w Alexander. a well Known merchant at 906 North Nineteenth street. under the guise of customers struck him over the head with an iron bolt and robbed the cash register of s17 and escaped just as Mrs. Alexander entered the store. AL exander died two hours following the murderous assault.
 At the time of the killing. it was the general opinion that the murderers would never be caught, as the police had absolutely no clue to work on, not even good description. Tn speak ing Of the case. Detective Brannon said:
 Brannon Talks of Case We painstakingly investigated the
  ighborhood of the Alexander store last Tuesday night. We let nothing escape and investigated thoroughly evcrything-every little scrap of possi- ble information and by gradual pro- cess of elimination we arrested the two exconvicts Todd and Turner. We will present our case to the grand jury in the morning and hope to indict the negroes and convict them within a few weeks"
 Commissioner A. o. Lane stated last might that 1t was exceptionally quick work on the part of Detectives Bran non and Macke and further said: Detectives Brannon and Macke de- serve the thanks of the community for their excellent work in this case. I be- 1 lieve that they have arrested the guilty parties and this when they ap- parently was no possible clue for the police to work on. It was good work and those boys merit thanks" Commended by Eagan 1 Chief of Police Martin Eagan was high in his praice of the work last night.
 'I can't imagine how those boys ever gor onto the negroes" said Chief Ea- gan, q had all the other detectives on the case and their reports showed what a complete puzzle 1t was. Yet in | five days Brannon and Macke worked | up the affair to a successful conclusion | and this I consider very remarkable. They deserve the highest praise" l At the city jail last night the ne- | groes Todd and Turner. were iinpris- oned in the hospital ward under special guard to prevent the possibil- fly of escape.

MISS FANCY IS AS
 POPULAR AS EVER
Visited by Hundreds of Kid dies With Dainties Yes
 terday Afternoon

Despite the enormous crowds visiting the fair grounds yesterday. there were many visitors to the zoo, and Miss Fancy" came In for a fair share of pea nuts, popcorn, apples, bananas and conn pllments. Many little ones visited her ladyship and paid tribute to her gentle ness by depositng carefully in her ca pacious trunk some dainty which they had brought expressly for her.
 Since the beginning of school there has been a crowd of little ones in the park every afternoon at the playgrounds, but the lady elephant misses her visitors dur ing the morning hours, when all are in school. many of them just beginning in the Kindergarten She Is philosophical however, and seems content to wait until Sunday, when all can visit her.
 The wading pool yesterday afternoon was not so popular as it has been mothers doubtless having enjoined the kiddies as to the necessity of keeping feet dry during the fall. The afternoon was warm and pleasant enough, but as the shades of night began to fall it began to get chilly. So, the wading pool was idle except for a few bold spirits, who ven- tured in for a wade. and hurriedly re- turned to shore, willing to wait until spring before again attempting to enjoy the wetness.

THE PUBLICITY AGENT

Whatever Colonel Henry Watterson,
publisher of the Louisville (Kv.) Cou-
rier-Journal, says is of interest to the
American people in general. When he
speaks of matters that concern the
newspaper publishers he appeals to a
body of men who regard him as one of
their own and who eagerly listen to
his words.
Colonel Watterson does not like the
press agent, another sentiment that
binds him closely to the newspaper fra
ternity, and he says so ina recent issue
of the Courier Journal. He spoke to
his readers as follows:
A Spanish grandee once observed
that all royal and noble Spaniards
agreed that the public was an ass and
should be ridden. The only point upon
which disagreement was possible was
who should occupy the saddle.
All special interests agree that the
press of our country is an ass, but
there is no disagreement about who
shall ride it. The various interests are
in hearty agreement that every one
who has need of free advertising. or
publicity" as it is called, shall make
free and unlimited use of the news
columns. 1t is due to the folly of the
press that the burden OF free adyertis-
ing has been long and patiently borne.
1t is time. surely. to rebel. The inter-
est of the newspaper as business en-
terprise, the conscience of the press as
a gatherer and distributor of news, the
reasonable demand of the reader that
advertising shall bear label, are IN
fluences which should combine to put
an end to the riding of the ass by
everybody and anybody who wants
publicity"

Community Mausoleum"

The bodies of the rich and fa-
nous are frequently placed in pri-
vate or public "Mausoleums."
Generally speaking, burial in a pri-
vate mausoleum is expensive. For
this reason Community Mauso-
leums" are being built, in many
places throughout the country, in
order that people of ordinary means
can have the same form of burial
as that accorded the rich and fa-
nous. This is in keeping with the
spirit of the age and the Progress
of the times. This form of burial
is first of all, humane and sanitary.
1t is also a loving and tender dis
position, of the bodies of our loved
ones. 1t moreover demonstrates a
thoughtful care for the health of
the living.
Years ago: Sir Henry Thomp-
son" of England, denounced the
graveyards and said: mo dead
body is ever placed in the ground
without polluting the earth, the
air and the water above and below
it," The time is surely coming
when cemeteries will no longer be
permitted to exist in the neighbor-
hood of thickly settled communi-
es. The Community Mausoleum"
at Perrysburg answers completely
the demand for a safe, sane and
sanitary form of burial.
There are few choice crypts yet
to be taken. 1t would be wise to
make your arrangements NOW.
Admittance to the building on
week days by the sexton or COM
pany representative any day by
appointment.
