ALLEGED SLAYER OF
WOMAN FACES TRIAL
John B. Koettsrs, Captured After
Years Search, to Be Arraigned

Chicaeo. ILL.,, March li.-J"hn H.
cHandsome Jack'D kocttors, who was
captured in san Francisco recently al
ter a country-wide search extending
over more than a year, will be arraish-
e1 in court here Monday to stand trial
for the alleged murder Of Mrs. Emma
Kraft. "A we'll to- do widow whose home
was in Cincinnati.
Mrs. Kraft was murdered on NO
vember II, 1912. The crime was com
mitted in her room in the Saratoga
Hotel. where she was Il guest. ne
weapon used by the murderer was an
ordinary hammer. with which the VIC
TINS skull had been crushed. Ihc haih'
mer was found wrapper in man

I'm their efforts To unravcl the mys-
terv of the murder the police Were
baffled for some time by failule L"
identify the victim. Not until nearly
n week after the tragedy was 1t estao-
lishcd that the WOman's name Was
Mrs. Emma Kraft and that she had
come To Chicago in response to let
ter written To her by Koettcrs.
Further investigation tended To snow
that the woman had long been lnia'-
uated with Koetters who was many
,eors her junior. From what could be
learned Koetters was addicted l"
gambling and fast living and was us
ually looking for easy money He was
supuoscd To be telcSrapher bat was
seldom known to work at That or any
other calling.
Amateur Detective Makes Capture.
When the police learned of the rela
tionship that had existed between MIS-
Kraft and Koetters the theory was
formed that Koettcr had committed th'
,urdor either to rid himself of tho
woman or To obtain a considerable SUN
E of money which SHE was known t'
have had when she left Cincinnati Al
: toches of the hotel where the traSe'A
occurred identified a photograph o

The annual report of the Tamarack
Mining Co. for the year ending Dec.

Plans are being considered says the
report, for the construction of re-
crushing mill to treat the sands in
Torch Lake. 1t has been estimated
that a mill Of capacity of 1,J00 tons
a day will treat the available sands in
2i wears, saving about 1 pounds ~
copper out of l2.l pounds in ton ol
sand. at Il cost of about cents, Civ
ing a net profit, If sold at 13i9 cents
rcr pound. slightly over $500 900, less
the cost of the plant.
Experiments that have been car
ried on AT the Calumet and Hecla
stamp mills indicate that leaching
process has been developed which If
applied To a portion of the tailinGs Of
this rccrushng mill, will result in an
additional profit from the sands Ok
about the same amount, or total
profit of S5,O0O,OO0

RUSSIANS CHANGING. CAMPAIGN PLANS
 SAYS MAJ. MOUL I

Berlin, Dec 3-Ma5or Moraht, the military writer. in discussing the east ern situation in the Tageb1att, says:
 sThe operations around I5odz seemed to foreshadoW the st1rrounding and annihilation Of the Russian main body but the Germans themselpes were sur rounded by strong Russian reinforce 1nents. The Germans, however, Ib-5 serated themselves with heroic energy from this enve1oprnent and resumed their attacks with indomitafle per- sistence. The gigantic offensive move rnent Of the Russians from Soldau to Cracow has already failed.
 .sThe plan of campaign originally made in Paris in the interest of France and England, was that Rus sia should throw her chief strength against Germany in order to relieve the pressure on the western front. The intention was to make an irresistible offensive and compel the withdra wal of such large forces from France as to make possible Angio4French success.
 Russia, however. threw her chief forces against Austria believing that she would be able to effectually crush that country in a short time but in a four months, struggle this has not been acccmp1ished because the Aus trtanse and Hungarians are lighting ] as in the time of Field Marshal Ra- detsky, showing a steady recuperative force.
 Russia already has been compel1ed to change her whole plan of campaign which often enough decides final vic- tory in favor of opponents What has already occurred means an enor- nous weakening of Russia's military power. Germany and Austria have captured about 400, ,oo6 unwounded pris- onerss. at least an equal number must have been killed or wounded and the losses through sickness must reach 1 300, 900. This means one-third of Rus sia's best troops.
 "The newer formations are lacking 1 in military qualities necessary to change Russia's destiny and the failure
 of the plan of operations, therefore, means the irretrievable impairment of Fussia's offensive power"

Mrs. Story, Ex-President Taft and Governor Baldwin Among
 the Speakers.

Manson, regent Of Mary Clapp woos- ter chapter, of New Haven, the en- tertAining chapter Mrs. John Laid- law Bueb state regent of the D. A.

 Peace, was the keynote of every one of the addresses. Governor Bald win directed his talk to women. and urged that they bend every effort in the support of a movement for set4. ting international differences. not by war, but through ju dicial methods.
 Professor Taft spoke on the hor- TOTS of war and said 1T emphasize the remarks of Governor Baldwin to- wards some means Of settling inter- national difficulties, and while he and [ do not agree on everything, in this matter sincerely endorse shis vfews..s
 Mrs. Minors subject was "The Pa triotisn of Peaee.'s and she urged that patriotism consist rather in a mans living for his country than in dying for it.
 An important part Uf the afternoon d gents of gifts from the various chap- ters toward paying off the S5, ,OOO bond, Connecticut's share in the erec- ton of Continental hall at Washing ton. At the meeting $2.771 was pledged, now making the entire mon ey raised by Connecticut ss,ss170.
 The musical pregran arranged by Mime. TeaIdi, was a feature Of tho oc- easion. One Of the most effective numbers WAS the singing of the ssStar spangled Banner, by Mrs William P. Lynch of Wallingford assisted bv a chorus of thirteen girls. Mrs. Lynch was goWned as the Godd dess of Lib- erty and the chorus represented the thirteen original states. The chorus also gave smother number, the new national anthem My Own United States, when one of their mum I3ers Miss Ola Rankin. was the soloist

fulIness of their own abundance fll- ed the Christmas stockings and stock ed the Christmas 1arders.
 And seeing these things, realized how tremendous was the need for or ganfzed and systematic aid then and how enormously that need would grow when winter cane-when the soldiers shivered in the trenches and the hospital supplies ran low, as in- deed they have before now begun to run low, and the winds searched through the holes made by the can non balls and struck at the women and children covering in their squa1- i'd and desolated homes. From my own experiences and observations I knew that more nurses. more sur geons, more surgical necessities, and yet more past all calculating, would be sore1y needed when the plague and famine and cold came to take their toll among armies that already were thinned by sickness and wounds.
 The American Red Cross, by terms of the Treaty of Geneva, gives aid to the inva1ided and the injured soldiers of any army and all the armies. If any small word from me, attempting to describe actual conditions, can be of any value to the American Red Cross in it's campaign of mercy, write it gladly. I wish only that I had the power to write lines which would make the American people see the situation as it is nov-whieh would make them understand how infinitely worse that situation must surely become during the next few months.

An examining physician fer one Of fAe prominent Idfe Insurance fCona- panies, in an interview on the sslb- ject, made the astonishing statement that one reason why, so many appi-s caEts for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble is 50 common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose appli- cations are declined do not even sus-s pect that they have the disease
