OF THE MURDER
Admit, However, the Pris-

Providence, r. l., Sept. s.--Despite the
statements of the police that they have
new evidence which will help substan-
tiate the charge that she entered into a
conspiracy with three negroes to murder
her husband, Mrs. Elizabeth Tiffany Mohr
maintained her innocence yesterday and
refused to make any statement. The ef-
forts of the police to identity two OF the
negroes now held as men who were seen
pushing motorcycle in the vicinity OF
the murder failed.
Samuel Selley of Providence and Al
bert Ducharme of Nayatt, two men who
were fishing near the scene OF the muir
der, were confronted with George w.
Heals and Cecil Victor Brown, two OF
the negroes who implicate Mrs. Mohr IN
the murder of her husband. After the
two men had examined the negroes care
fully they said that while they resent
bled the men they saw on the night OF
the murder they could not positively
identify them. !.
II could not positively identify them,
said Selley. 1--WE heard five shots fired
and later we saw two men approaching.
They were wheeling a motorcycle be-
tween them. One was tall and the other
short.
my impression would be that these
two negroes We're either the men or they
are just like the men that / saw last
Tuesday evening. ] did not know about
the shooting of DIR. Mohr until | read
the papers the next morning"
The story told by Albert Ducharme is
practically the same as that of Selley.
He, too, feels certain that the men are
the two he saw on the night OF the muir
der. but he could not make a positive
identification.
An effort was made Monday afternoon
to induce Mrs. Mohr - make state
ment Certain questions were asked her
by the newspaper correspondents, but she
declined to answer them. Later the fol-
lowing statement was issued from Mrs.
Mohr's home:
Mrs. Mohr, Mr.. McCartil and Mr..
Cushing had conference and concluded
that it would not be judicious to answer
the questions propounded by the news
paper correspondents.
'They would like to clear up these
matters, but feel that it is good policy
simply to wait and allow the state to
establish its case on the 10th OF the
month"

SURPRISING Swearing.

profane as well as legal oaths have
been the subject of many parliament
tary measures In England. No fewer
than five separate bills having the pre-
vention of swearing for their object
were presented during the reign OF
James l., but 1T was not until 1923
that an enactment was finally carried
defining and controlling the offense.
In 1885 a public department was es-
tablished TO collect the fines enforced
by this law. The officials of this de-
partment, of whom one was appointed
in every parish, were allowed 2s. Sd.

Secretary Tumulty Writes
Sheriff Kinkead to
This Effect

Washington, Sept. s.-Presdent Will
son, through Secretary Tumulty, yester-
day reiterated his refusal to take any
political advantage OF the extraordinary
international situation.
Tumulty sent letter to Sheriff Kin
kead OF Hudson county, n, j., declin-
ing an invitation to attend meeting
of the Hudson County Democratic com
nIittee, scheduled for Sept. II, on the
ground that the meetings object, as
stated in Kinkead's letter, was to in
dorse the president.
at was my understanding when we
discussed this matter some weeks ago"
said Tumulty's letter, that the meet
ing you had in mind was merely a meet
ing of the Hudson County Democratic
committee, for which you were anxious
to procure the services OF Senator Lew
Is OF Illinois as the speaker.
II had talk with the president about
this matter and he deeply appreciated
the generosity Of the suggestion, but
New Jersey is his own state, the men

own personal friends, and he feels that
it might seem as if he were taking adj
vantage of the extraordinary situation
now existing TO gain some personal adj
vantage through such an expression of
confidence by them.
AS | said in my letter TO State Chair
man Grosscup. year ago, this would
be inconsistent with his whole thought
and spirit and he shrinks from it as
from something that would embarrass
him rather than help him.
Il feel confident that you will I'M
derstand the spirit in which he says this
and that in urging the Democrats of
Hudson county not TO do this he is not
evading in the least his deep apprecia-
ton. OF course, If your meeting has no
connection with an Endorsement of the
president and is one to be held under the
auspices of the Democratic county com
mittee and shall be participated in by
all factions in Hudson county, ] will
gladly aid you in procuring as a speaker
the services of either Senator James or
Senator Lewis

WHAT TO Do FOR.
ITCHING SKINS

Eczema, ringworm and other itching,
burning skin eruptions are so easily
made worse by improper treatment that
one has to be very careful. There is one
method, however, that you need not hes
itate to use, even on baby's tender
slsin--that is, the resinol treatment.
Resinol is the prescription of Balti-
more doctor, put up in the form of res
mol ointment and resinol soap. This
proved so remarkably successful that
thousands of other physicians have been
prescribing it constantly for 20 years.
Resinol stops itching instantly, and
almost always heals the eruption quick
ly and at little cost. Resinol ointment
and resinol soap can be bought at any
druggists.

There are complaints that thresh-

west counties of the state this fall. In
the several dry years since settlement
of the state there has not been any
great inducement for owners of thresh-

now that they have an immense crop,
there are not enough machines to
handle it. Threshing machine reports

Florida, too, the matter has gone as
far as the legislature.
The twenty states still unaccounted
for, all give their women minor politi-
cal privileges Of some sort, usually the
right to vote for members of school
boards. Six Of these states are now
campaign states and suffrage work is
going on in most of the others.
When we consider that in two-thirds
Of the United States. the question Of
women's voting is settled, since she is
allowed to vote for some things, the
question naturally presents Itself "If
she is intelligent enough - vote for
these things, why not other , And If
ONE vote in some states, why
shouldn't they vote in all states ?"
Logic, good sense, and fair play can
give but one answer.

RAISING o PAYS

A marked increase in the amount of
live stock on the Belle Fourche Re-
clamation Project is shown in a recent
report of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture's experiment farm
on that project. The tendency, says
this report, is to feed more and more
of the farm crops and to sell live stock
products. Pasturing hogs on alfalfa
and hogging corr are coming very
much into favor. The results of ex-
periments conducted on the govern
ment farm indicate that this is a de-
cidedly profitable way of marketing
alfalfa and corr under conditions sim
liar to those which prevail on the
Belle Fourche project. The small
amount of labor involved is an import.
ant factor. and another consideration
Is the fact that less fertility is remov.
ed from the soil than when the crops
themselves are sold.

ture at the rate of 1915 pounds of live
weight to the acre and given in addi.
ton a ration of 2 pounds of shelled
corn for each 100 pounds of live weight
They were kept on the alfalfa 121
days, gaining in the course of this
time 457.5 pounds. They were sold al
Newell, S. d.. for Z cents a pound, corn
costing at the same place $40 pei
100 pounds. Taking these prices as a
basis the net return per acre from the
hogs was $41.44. At the average
yield of alfalfa hay per acre this
means that the hogs paid $11.23 pei
ton for the alfalfa they consumed. The
local market price of alfalfa hay was
only $3.50 per ton.
The experiment was continued by
turning 4 hogs from the alfalfa OF Sep
TENDER 20 into corn and leaving then
there until all the corn was consumed
This required 20 days. during which
period the hogs made a total gain o
145.5 pounds. At Z cents a pound Thu
worked out as $40.72 per acre for TIT
corn or Silt per bushel.
