COLONEL ROOSEVELT DECLARES
THEY ARE ENTITLED TO
RECOGNITION. |

New York, July 13.-It would be
rank injustice, in the opinion of Theo-
dore Roosevelt, for women to be un
represented at the constitutional con-
vention to be held in New York next
year. In so declaring, in letter ad-
dressed to Mrs. Lillian ID. Wald of the
woman's temporary committee, the
colonel says:
Il trust open action will be taken by
the progressive party to insist upon
the election of the women delegates to
the convention. 1t seems to me that
any discussion as to whether women
are eligible to hold public office in this
state is really academic, in view of the
fact that many women at present hold
public office in this state.
1T is, to my mind, rank injustice to
fail to have women represented in the
constitutional convention. / earnestly
hope the progressive party will give a
full representation of women on its
constitutional ticket"

More Mystery.

San Antonio, Texas, July 13.-De-
tcctives investigating the mysterious
disappearance of Mrs. Eloise Nelms
Dennis and her sister. Miss Beatrice
Nelms, of Atlanta, Ga, today visited
Mrs. Margaret Mindes, but the inter
view, it was said, failed to throw any
light upon the mystery.
Mrs. Mindes' name was mentioned In
connection with an express package
said to have been sent to Miss Be-
trice Nelms here in care of Mrs
Mindes
Mrs. Mindes told the detectives she
knew nothing about the case.
Il never have been in Atlanta" she
said. "The report that l am an aunt
of Victor Innes is untrue. | do not
know any person of that name. l do
not know why any package should be
sent to Miss Nelms in my care, for
do not know her and no such package
| ever reached me-
Today the police were investigating
the report that Victor Innes of Port
land. Ore, attorney for Mrs, Nelms
Dennis in divorce proceedings at Reno
is months ago, was in this city last
month. This was about the time Mrs.
Dennis and her sister disappeared
after sllling word to their mother that
they intended going farther west"

Eloise NemS Dennis and Miss Bea-
trice Nelms dead or alive, was of
fered here today by Mrs John w.
Nelms, wealthy mother Of the miss
ing women, who disappeared mystic
riously while on trip to Texas. The
belief grew today that the death mes
sage received by Mrs. Nelms last
Tuesday from San Francisco may be
true. 1t was signed by Mrs Dennis
name and Indicated she had killed her
sister in New Orleans and was prepar-
ing To kill her brother, Marshall Nelms,

Duluth, Mimi, July 13-"The city of
the future" was described at the con-
vention of the National Association of
Building owners and Managers here
today. Graphic pictures of slyscrap-
pers connected by an elevated system
of sidewalks across the street levels,
ventilated with washed air and heated
like the buildings of the ancient Ro-
mans, with radiators in the walls,
were drawn by speakers.
Building owners and managers con-
ceded that it was difficult to make

increased cost of maintenance for each
succeeding story are problems that
have defied the genius of architects.

STORSTAD THIRD MATE
MAY NOT Be ARRESTED

ottawa, ont. July 13.-Because Al
bert Tuftenes. third officer of the col
lcr Storstad held Il Norwegian navi-
gators certificate, the Canadian mari
time parliament, it was announced to-
day, has found itself unable to punish
him as the man held responsible for
the sinking of the Empress of Ireland,
with the loss of more than 1000 lives.
A report is being sent to the Nor
wegian authorities, however, and the
Canadian law will be altered so that
officers of foreign vessels engaged in
the Canadian trade must have Cana
dian certificates.
1t is improbable that Tuftenes will
be prosecuted as his mistake is con-
sidered more an error of judgment
than criminal negligence.

How to Make a Roast

.>Ov w w A'A~SAA~ - 1AOSAoS
Place the empty pan over low
fire flame (gas, oil, ETC., if desired
plate can be placed beneath) for
about half minute so that the
sides of the roaster become we'll
heated; then take the roast and
scar it, turning it over two or
three times in order that the meat
may retain its juices; then cover
with the other pan, have a low
flame and season when it is about
half through. As aluminium is
an excellent conductor of heat, a
roast made in this manner cuts
down the fuel used fully one-third,
and reduces to a minimum the in
tense heat Of the oven, in summer.
1t in an oven use similar to above
directions.

MEDITATIONS OF UNCLE JOSH

| wonder if the dear Republican ed
itors think the people can't read or
remember what they read.
A few days ago read that the rea-
son Knox county was listed for taxa
tion to the amount of $1,000,000 more
in 1914 than in 1918 was that it was
mo piker" but just natural increase
in wealth and the Warnes law had
nothing to do with the increase. If
Old Knox can increase at the rate of
81 100000 year under a Democratic
administration there isn't much panic
and hard times in store for a good
while to come.
Again / read "The disastrous results
which have followed the Inauguration
of the present state and national ad-
ministrations have aroused the people
to the point where they are demanding
change. In this great campaign for
the people and the return of this ma
tion to the condition of prosperity
which it enjoyed before the Wilson ad-
ministration came into power"
wonder if they mean the prosperi-
ty of 1907? Now these two contradic-
tory items appeared in the same paper
less than two weeks apart. Wouldn't
that jar your velvet?
have some ancient editions of the
same sheet dated 1912 and 1913 that
are running over with calamity, pan,
les, demlnition bow-wows and what
not, of how wool and sheep would not
be worth a red with the tariff Off
Now we've got it off. Holy horrors, il

Positively Identity Jones

Four residents of Centerburg were
admitted to the county jail on Thurs
day morning and were allowed to see
the prisoner for the purpose of estab-
fishing an Identification. All four of
the men identified the prisoner as
being Ernest Jones. Three of the
young men stated that they went to
school with Jones near Centerburg
and could not be mistaken in the man.
Another person who positively
identified Jones was Mr.. j. l.. McKin-
ley, former superintendent of the
Knox county infirmary. Mr.. McKin-
ley saw the man at the county Jail and
stated that he was Ernest Jones and
that he could positively identify the
man as he was formerly at the Knox
county infirmary.

Believe Earl Jones Captured

II is now believed that Earl Jones,
bandit, is under arrest in Chicago
Junction. A man is being held there
who corresponds exactly with the des-
cription of Jones. Sheriff WooIison
left on the 2:40 train Thursday after
noon and took with him photographs
for identification.
Shortly after noon Thursday, Chief
of Police Parker received telephone
message from an officer in Chicago
Junction to the effect that man an
swering the description of Earl Jones
has been .apprehended there. The
officer described his prisoner and his
description of the man and the suit
Of clothing that he wore tally with the
man wanted here.
The suspect, according to the Chi
cago Junction official, boarded the
morning B. & o. train at Mt. Vernon
and got off at Mansfield. He went
into the station there and purchased
ticket for Chicago Junction. Train
officials, knowing of the robberies and
having some idea of the description of
Jones, became suspicious and watched
the man. They sent a message to
Chicago Junction from Mansfield and
accordingly, the police were at the
station to take him.
When the man aligbted upon the
platform at the Junction, he was not
approached, but was watched closely
He stroIled about the platform and
then went into the station He pur.
chased ticket for Chicago, ILL.,, and
intended to board train for that city
which left at 2:1O o'clock. Knowing
his previous method of buying tickets
for only short distances at time and
then seeing him buy ticket for Chi
cago, the suspicious of the police
were doubled and they promptly ar
rested the man and got in communi
cation with Mt Vernon.
AS he will be unable to make proper
connections for immediate return, the
sheriff will not arrive home until Fri
day morning.
