AUTO THIEVING is
HALTED BY DEATH
Alpheus Moore, 81 Years, Shot
and His Brother Arrested
in Detroit Holdup.

Detroit, Mich, Feb. 23.-The career
of two brothers as robbers using an
automobile to search for victims came
to a sudden end Saturday night with
the~aippotins killing of the older
one and the capture and confession of
the younger boy. The dead robber was
Alpheus d. Moore, 81. His brother,
Wesley, aged 10, is locked up in a po-
lice station. One year ago they came
from Saginaw. Mich, and have since
been living in the fashionable Marl-
borough apartments on Second avenue.
Early Saturday evening, after steal
ing an automobile, they held up two
suburban stores and took nearly 5000
cash, but at the third store, a small
grocery, the elder brother was shot
through the head by Meyer Rapenport,
grocer. Wesley Moore was captured
a few hours after the killing of his
brother and his confession includes
practically all the "auto bandit" crimes
in this city during the last few months.
It is believed the brothers may have
been implicated in the killing of Patrol
man Madden a few weeks ago. Bring
ing their stolen automobile to halt in
front of the Rapenport store, the rob-
bers entered just as the proprietor was
putting his days receipts into money
bag.
1--WE got here Just in time. before
you cleared out with that money. Hand
it over quick" said the older brother.
Instead of complying with the re-
quest Rapenport, as two shots were
fired at him, shot and killed Alpheus
Moore.
The aged father and mother OF the
groceryman witnessed the killing and
covered the dead body with a gunny
sack. Upon hearing the shooting Wes-
ley Moore jumped into the auto and
but was trapped in his
apartment soon after midnight
Mr.. Moore. father of the two boys,
claimed the elders body yesterday.
To his other boy he said: "Your
brother is lying on a slab in the
morgue. have come to take the body
home. and my one regret is that you
are not returning in a rough box with
him"

Teller. former cabinet officer and for
more than 80 years United States
senator from Colorado. died this
morning. aged So. He has been i'll two
years His death was not unexpected.
Teller was one OF the Original sill
yer republicans" Many OF his sup
porters contended he was the first.
He left the republican national con-
vention at st. Louis in 1898 because
he did not agree with the gold stand
ard plank in the platform. and ran
again for the senate as an independent
silver republican. He was selected
with "a votes out OF 100 and after serv-
that term the silver republicans OF
Colorado merged with the democrats
and Teller returned to the senate that
time as a democrat. He served one
term as such and retired in 1903 to
make a place for the late Senator
Hughes OF the same party.
In 1883 Teller entered President Ar
thurs cabinet as secretary of the in
terror and in 1885 he reentered the
senate. Teller was one OF the first
two senators elected when Colorado
came a state. He was born in Allie
gheny county. New York. practiced
law in Binghamton, went west to Illi-
nois in 1858. and TO Colorado in 1861.

UNIVERSITY IS TO
SUPPLY ADVISER
DIR. r. E. heterogeneous Is Ap-
pointed to Aid in Work of
Betterment.

Urbana, Ill, Feb. 23.-Cities, towns
villages and country neighborhoods in
Illinois that desire to better them
selves have a new aid-the. -commnn
ity adviser"-a position recently Great
ed by the University of Illinois. DR.
Robert E. Hieronymous, former presi
dent of Eureka college and until re-
Gently secretary Of the educational
commission of Illinois, has been ap-
pointed to the position and has begun
his duties
While the university formerly aided
communities in betterment work, it
was necessary for them to come to the
university. Now the university goes
to the community in the person of the
"adviser," whose time will be oceu-
pied in travelling over the state. The
position is said to be unique in the
United States.
The movement is based on the prin-
ciple that every community contains
the means of it's own hcttcrment and
that social welfare is to be evolved
from within. The first step in obtain
ing those betterments which cannot
come from individual enterprise alone
will be an attempt to develop commun-
ity consciousness. There is to be
nothing of the "highbrow" in the move
ment 1t is designed to be intensely
practical.
The adviser" will cooperate with
local organizations-agric COM
social and civic, in utilizing
local educational resources for the pro-
motion of vocational education. Local
school boards and teachers will be en-
listed in this campaign.
The adviser" will be first aid" to
that desire to improve
in various lines, bringing
them in touch with the proper spe-
cialist at the university.
The new official will work jointly
with the agriculture extension depart
ment and the school of commerce.
classes in commercial study.
using local teachers but calling on uni
versity experts when their aid is neces-
sary, will be urged upon communities.
The adviser" will be ready to study
local business and social conditions
and give such advice as he can.

Man Who Fled Aurora
After Attack Seen Again
Day of the Crime.
WITNESS DISAPPEARS
PetraS' Wife Is Barred From
Jail in Effort to Make the
Prisoner Talk.

Aurora, Ill, Feb. 23.-The myster-
ious disappearance OF negro thought
to be an important witness against
Anthony Petras. held by the Aurora
police in connection with the murder
OF Theresa Hollander, yesterday turn
ed the investigation from the prisoner
and into new channels.
In connection with the search for the
witness the police learned yesterday
that another negro. known 10 them

fed from Aurora about year ago fol-
lowing an attempted attack ON a young
woman, had reappeared in Aurora the
day before the murder, remained in
the city two days and again disap-
peared.
Witness Has Fled.
The first negro was thought by the
police to be able to corroborate the
statement of Walter Hickman. who tes-
titled that Petras had left the street
car at the next block after Miss Hol-
lander and had run back. Yesterday
the police learned where the man had
resided and went to his home. to learn
that he had not been seen there after
leaving the street car. He did not go
TO his own home that night and no
word has been received from him.
He is known as Giant" standing
more than six feet tall, and is of mus
cular build He came to Aurora only
short time ago.
The negro's disappearance has led
Chief Michels to believe that he might
have had some connection with the
crime which preceded the finding of
Miss Hollander's body in st. Nicholas
cemetery in Aurora Monday night.
Search for Negro.
The other negro for whom the po-
lice have started a search knew Miss
Hollander. He was at one time a por-
ter in the Coulter block, where Miss
HoIlander worked a year ago. At that
time he was accused of attempting to
attack a young woman in one Of the
offices in the building. and left Aurora

OF the attempted crime.
