SEEK SLAYER IN AN EYE.
Photograph of Retina Expected to
Show His IMAGE.

Aurora, Ill.-Yielding to persons who
have faith in the old superstition, the
authorities here have photographed the
eye of Theresa Hollander. State At
torney Tyer admitted this, saying that
it was the belief of many that the
retina of murdered person retained
the image of the murderer.
Miss Hollander was beaten to death
in a cemetery here a week ago. The
picture was taken after a suggestion
Of an oculist, who asserted with EN-
phasis that the retina of the slain
girls eye would show the last object
before her conscious vision.
The photograph was made the day
after the murder as the body was be
ing cared for at a local undertaker's.
The authorities rather feared they
would be ridculed for this effort, but
were anxious TO leave nothing undone
to get evidence, so went through the
performance. holding every actor in
the scene to the most profound secrecy.

AND IMMIGRATION.

The other day in New York city
there was a meeting of the Industrial
League at which the subject under
consideration was iliteraey in New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut
The figures presented were startling
and impressive. 1t was asserted that
New York has a population of more
than 100000 illiterates of more than
ten years of age. In 1910 nearly $685.
600 of this class were beyond school
age OF these 43 per cent were men
and 81 per cent were women. Nine out
Of every ten of the illiterates were
foreign born. There were 147 900
males Of voting age who were litter
ates, or one out Of every Is Of the
voters of the state. Here is something
seriously worth considering. There is
something radically and dangerously
wrong in immigration laws, or their
administration, which permits such an
influx of illiteraey year after year as
these figures indicate. These people
can learn little or nothing Of our Gus
toms, laws and habits of thought Oul
newspapers, our literature, our constitu-
ton and laws are closed to them, and
they are too old to learn. 1t is not
merely that they cannot read and
write English, but they cannot read
and write in any language. They are
absolutely and hopelessly illiterate, fol-
few adults have the energy or the dis
position to learn to read, even if they
have the mental capacity. 1t is tim,
that something were done toward es
tablishing a literacy test for the al
mission Of immigrants.

deserved and yet he found them ev-

He quit treating them as companions
and served their food each day with
great show of violence.
Then the whole matter was explain
ed. He went out to the coop early in
the morning and found that the hens
had company. In the yard were 4
dozen squirrels and a half hundred
birds. including quail, bluejays and
smaller birds. These hungry callers
were eating ravenously of everything
that remained. while the fresh egg pro
ducers of the farm stood back sullcnly
and without any show of enthusiasm
regarded the callers. The birds and
| squirrels retreated when Mr.. Gehrke
| came toward the coop. but returned
| the moment he turned his back. Tie
threw a great mass Of feed out for
the hens and almost apoloGized to them

enough food to sustain them. At one

Strengthen Marriage Laws.

Vermont has the fewest requirements
