Other Increased Costs

But there are many other items
which have enormously increased the
cost of railroad operation which vi
cannot go into because of a lack of
space The public is constantly de-
handing a more efficient and a safer
service and hence the railroads have
had to spend. vast sums in installing
block signals, steel passenger cars, do
ing away with grade crossings,
Strengthening lines, heavier locomo-
tives, better road beds, and supplying
many other precautions protecting
both their operatives and the public
all things very necessary, yet very
Costly.
Now while labor farm products,
merchandise and manufactures and
supplies Of all kinds have steadily in
creased in price, the railroads, as
stated before, have been compelled to
reduce their rates in the face Of this
avalanche of ever-advaEcing cost of
operation-and hat all but the most
powerful lines find themselves in an
exceedingly critical condition is not
to be wondered at. The farmer, the
merchant, the manufacturer and the
laborer justly insist that they would
not be able to get along on the prices
they received ten or fifteen years ago.
How, then, ear the railroads, which
are the largest employers of labor
and buyers of material in the United
States be expected to exist on less
than they received ten or fifteen years
ago? In view Of these facts, it is
no wonder that President Wilson and
other patriotic and careful students
of the situation are speaking words of
kindly %admonition to the American
public to the end that the railroads
through whose giant arteries flows
the very life blood Of the Nation may
not be wrecked and destroyed. Adv.

Darkest Red Of Any Yet Grown is
christened BY Governor Clarke
as keokuk, HonorIns
Old Chief.
IS NEWEST OF PRODUCTS
Was Grown by State Horticultural
Department Under Supervision
Of Prof. Spencer A.
Beach.

A carnation, the darkest red OF any
carnation grown, has been christened
the Keokuk. The carnation is an Iowa
product, grown and developed by Pro
lessor Beach of the Iowa State col
lege at Ames, 1t was christened by
Governor George w. Clarke and Of
course being named after the best
city in the state Of Iowa cannot help
but be a wonderful flower.
It was at the greater Iowa conven-
ton at Ames, on December 2, that the
new carnation was formally presented
and was given its name. The flower
is originated by Prof. Spencer Am
brose Beach, professor Of horticulture
of the Iowa state Agricultural college
at Ames. 1t is said to be one Of the
big achievements OF the year for the
plant department OF the college.
The "Keokuk" carnation is de-
scribed as being dark red. The dark
est red OF any carnation now grown
is the qualifying and distinguishing
clause to the description.
Governor George w. Clarke, chief
executive Of the state was asked to
name the flower. He chose the name
Of Keokuk. This is out Of compliment
to the old Indian chief Keokuk, and
also for the city by the site Of the
greatest power dam in the world. Keo-
kuk is one of the Oldest and earliest
settlements in the state, and 1t Is felt
that the honor is a deserved one.

year old husband in a blind rage,
thinking he had failed to marry his
daughter. It is believed that Attor-
neys Frank Comesky and George A.
Wyre will base the defense on this
foundation. District Attorney Thos.
Gagan, however, claims to have pro-
duced a witness who will refute any
such claims, in the physician who at
tended the bride widow when she
collapsed after the murder. Gagan
says this person told Cleary of the
marriage on the day it took place.
This person also Is prepared to tes-
tify that Mrs. Cleary advised young
Neman to go to his brides father
with the news. Although it is tacitly
agreed that neither the prosecution
or defense will call young Mrs. New
man, she has declared she will insist
on taking the stand if it appears her
testimony will be needed to save her
father from murderer's death.

The bereaved girl has steadfastly
refused to visit her father since the

CONVICT OFFERS
TO BE SACRIFICED
Medical Men Arc Interested In sug-
gestion Made by Confessed
Triple Murderer.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Ssrvice.1
NEW YORK. Dec. s. Attorney
General Egbert 3. Woodbury., 1t was
learned today will be asked to pass on
whether John Frank Hickey. con-
fessed murderer OF little Joseph Jo-
sephs of Buffalo, Edward Morey, OF
Lowell, Mass, and young Michael
Kruck, Of New York, can give himself
up to cancer experiments in the inter
ests Of science.
Hickey made the same offer a year
ago, but his name was never made
public. The then attorney general,
Carmody, Of New York state, decided
the state could not legally accept
Hickeys offer. Hickey's second Of
fer made through Thomas Mott Os-
borne, millionaire and soctologist
warden Of Sing Sing, was made sew
eral days ago. Every effort was
made to keep the name Of the Auburn
1'lifer' secret, but 1t became known
generally, today. The offer continues
to be the chief topic among medical
men, socologists and state officials.
Many prominent physicians and 9TH
ers favor permitting Hickey to give
himself up to cancer tnnoculation.
Others are bitterly opposed to accept
ance Of his unique offer of sacrifice.
Hickey's admitted crimes were par
ticularly revolving. In many ways
they resembled the killing of little
boys by Jesse Pomeroy. the famous
Charleston prison inmate who has
spent nearly forty years in solitary
confinement for crimes committed in
Boston. The Josephs child was killed
near his home in Buffalo. and the
body terribly mutilated, found in a
sewer by police who were directed to
the spot by post card. The post
card was traced to Hickey, then in
Whiting, N. j., through Identification
Of handwriting, by Hickey's former
employer in Buffalo. After his con-
yiction OF tho Josephs murder, Hick-
ey admitted maltreating and then
staying Michael Kruck and told how
he killed Edward Morey, half-witted
boy, twenty years ago, in Lowell. He
also declared he had attacked about
twenty other little boys.
{ Hickey's plea { Of insanity saved
him from the chair. He was sem
fenced to from twenty years to life
after experts had declared him ABB
normal and irresponsible.
