Wife SLAYER WINS
HIS PATHETIC PLEA
Convict to Get Share in
Estate Of Woman He
Accidentally Killed.

Surrogate Fowler has handed down a
decision granting the appeal of George
Fuchs, a heartbroken and health
broken inmate Of Dannemora Prison,
for his share Of the estate Of his wife,
for the accidental killing Of whom le
was convicted Of manslaughter. The
bullet that ended her life was in
tended for another man who, Fuchs
charged, had broken up his home and
family.
Surrogate Fowler has decided that
Fuchs shall have his share OF the
estate, the rest of It going to his three
children. And Fuchs maao an affidavit
in the proceeding that ne hoped soon
TO receive pardon, and therefore
wanted the money so that he could
start new" This hope, however, OF
earning a livelihood with the use OF
this fund when he gets his looked-for
pardon will be shattered, for the estate
now amounts 10 only SOB, all that is
left of $4,000 Mrs. Fuchs took when she
left her husband.
The tragedy in the Fuchs family took
place i'm 1912. Mrs. Fuchs haC LETT her
husband and children TO live with an
OF or man. mfuriated by the neon
stancy OF his wife, Fuchs went TO the
house where she and the other man
were living. Meeting face to face the
one who had violated his home, Fuchs
drew revolver, intending to kill him.
lust as the bullet left the weapon Mrs.
Fuchs sprang within the range OF iire'
She was killed instantly.
Fuchs pleaded guilty to manslaughter
in the first degree and was sentenced
by Judge Swami TO a term of from ten
to .iucteen years. He has been IN Dan
nemora prison about two years, and
now has hopes Of a pardon. He says
that when Mrs. Fuchs left him he had
a grocery store and had saved the
money which his wife took with her.

Fuchs i'm his affidavit made IN prison.

National Chairman Says
Party Will Elect Next
President.
NATION HURT BY
DEMOCRATS ERRORS
Congress Sure to Switch
TO Protective Tariff
Support, Is Shown.

"There is no doubt Of the election Of
4 Republican President and Republican
House in 1916. Nor is there any doubt
nm my mind that we shall elect Re
publican Senate
This declaration was made yesterday
by Charles d. Hiles, chairman Of the
Republican National Committee. IL rs
based not on sentiment nor hopes, but
Is the result Of careful study Of the
situation and Of talks with Republican
leaders from all parts Of the country.
Mr.. Hiles showed just how he eX-
pected the Senate would be turned
over to the Republican party IN the
election Of 1916. As result Of the
election this year the Senate stands
90 Democrats, 10 Republicans and 1
Progressive. A gain Of nine seats and
the election Of a Vice-President would
give the Republicans a wori .ng MA
jority, the national chairman figures.
These are the states in which he be-
ieves the election of q Republican
Senator i'm 1916 is practically certain:
New York, Maine, New Jersey, Ohio,
Montana, Nevada, West Virginia and
Washington. One more will come from
Maryland, Nebraska, Arizona, Missouri
or Tennessee, according to his calcula-
tons.
Discussing his reasons for predicting
the election of Republican President
in 1916, Chairman Hilles said that the
issues would be the tariff and the
legislation enacted by the Democratic
Congress.
This is what Chairman Hilles said in
his analysis Of the situation looking
forward to 1916:
"Not only will Republican Presi-
dent be elected but the party will gain
control Of both Senate and House. u
requires no gift Of prophecy TO assert
this; il is logical deduction from the
recent election.
"The issue IN 1914 was the Ca. r md
every state where the effect o' he
Underwood bin had time to be felt
went Republican. Every great manu-
featuring state and every great labor
centre repudiatcd The Democratic party
and voiced condemnation Of It's record
since 10 came into full control of the
government. The disastrous effect Of
the new tariff has not yet been fully
felt in the great agricultural states OF
tho West, but even there the reaction
against Democracy was unmistakable.
"The revolt against Democracy is
not confined to business men. Labor
indicated very clearly IN the last cleo
tion that IL understood that its own
prosperity is inextricably bound up
with the prosperity Of business and
that unemployment and reduced wages
inevitably follow Democratic tariff
tinkering.
Labor and business will unite in a
common cause in 1915, the protection
of their own interests, and will join
hands i'm returning the Republican
party TO power. The Wilson admins
tratiou has been essentially an anti
business administration, modifying its
policy only where legislation might in
clude the South i'm its adverse inhu-
once. Its attitude has not been merely
one Of distrust of business, but Of &C
tive hostility and antagonism.
There is no doubt of the election OF
Republican President and Republi-
can House in 1916. Nor is there any

Get 10-cent box now.
Turn the rascals out-the head
ache, biliousness, indigestion, the
sick, sour stomach and foul gases
turn them out tonight aid keep them
out with Cascarets.
Millions of men and women take a
Cascaret now and then and never
know the misery caused by a lazy
liver, clogged bowels or an upset
stomach.
Don't put in another day of distress
Let Cascarets cleanse your stomach;
remove the sour, fermenting food;
take the excess bile from your liver
and carry out all the constipated
waste matter and poison in the
bowels. Then you will feel great.
A Cascaret tonight straightens you
out by morning. They work while
you sleep. A 1O-cent box from
any drug store means a clear head,
sweet stomach and clean, healthy
liver and bowel action for months.
Children love Cascarets because they
never grippe or sicken.

Government to Investigate.
Washington, Jaa. 3O.-The Depart
ment of Commerce today began a
sweeping investigation into the cause
of the collision between the Nantuck-
ct and the Monroe.
There are three distinct angles to
the investigation:
First-Whether the masters of both
vessels used every possible precau-
ton to prevent the tragedy, includ-
ing low speed Roadway and con-
tinual use Of fog horns.
Second-Whether the terrible death
rate among the passengers on board
the Monroe was due in any way to
lack of discipline on board the wreck
ed ships crew.
Third-Whether the two vessels
were in their proper positions prior
to the collision.

Congressman Taylor Of Pine Bluff to

Taylor, congressman from the Sixth
district OF Arkansas, has been select
I'd as one of the five members of
Congress to go to Colorado to investi-
gate the great labor disturbances in
the mining regions of that state.
The other members Of the commit
tee selected are: Representative
Foster, Illinois; Burns, South Carroll
ma; Austin, Tennessee, and Souther-
land, West Virginia. A committee
was also selected to make similar in
vestigation in Michigan. Since
Congressman Taylor is practically
new member of Congress. and con-
sidering the importance attached to
these hearings, his appointment Is
considered signal distinction. 1t is
propasle that these committees will
go to New York first, where hearings
will be held. and then proceed to the
seat of trouble in Colorado and Michi-
gan. This investigation has been or
dered by the Heating resolution,
which recently passed the House Of
Representatives.
Congressman Taylor said today
that, although he appreciated the
honor conferred upon him. he may
not be able to accept, because Of
other legislation pending in Congress
IN which he, Is much interested
However, he added that he was in
sympathy with this investigation and
supported the resolution. Import

The value Of live stock in Arkan-
sas increased more than $16,O00,000
in the year according to a report
issued by the bureau of statistics,
department of agriculture. The valu-
alton estimates are based upon the
curren price January 1, last, with
that of January 1, 1913. In ma
Jority of instances, however, the re-
port shows that the number of live
stock in the state has decreased with
in the last year, the increase in value
only being accounted for by the in
erase in price. Horses and mules
alone show an increase.
The report says Arkansas has
1,49S.000 swine, compared with L.
$4,000 year ago. The present
value per head is $40 as against
$3.50 of last year. The total value
is given at $11,OS5, 900, an increase Of
$S41 900.
OF sheep the state has $4,000 or
5000 less than year ago. The cur
rent price of $3.50 per head on Jan.
last, is 20 cents higher than. the
previous year, with the total value
of $4,000 is $4,000 more than the
previous year.
From 100000 other cattle in 1913
the state dropped to $4,000 by 1914
but the value per head increased
from 1920 to $500 and the total
! value from $6,1O0,0O0 to $7,505,000 or
$1.4O5,0 900.
Milk cows in the state ON January
1, 1913. totaled $4,000, and a year
later the entire number had fallen to
$4,000, but the current price in
creased from $500 per head to So
90 in a year. The value of the entire
number on January last was $780,
900 or an increase of $2,8S9,00O.
Although the state has 1900 more
mules this year than last the value
has decreased. The report gives the
total number as $4,000 as compared
with $4,000 year ago. The price
/ on January last was STA per head
