Burns, the Great Detective, Has
Found Fresh Traces of the
Murderer of Mary
Phagam!

Phagan!
COME days ago, an atrocious crime was
- committed upon a little girl in New York
City.
The murdered child bore the name of Cohn,
and | presume she was of the Jewish race
race.
1t has come to pass in New York, that men,
women and children can be slain in the day
time, on the streets, or in their homes and
the Great Detective can not trace the Grim
inal.
The police, the Pinkertons. the secret service
men, and the volcanic Burns, are utterly
baffled.
But when the Coin girl was butchered
Burns broke out into another roar through
the newspapers.
In Mr. Hearst's New York American,
Burns picture again appeared, last Friday,
and there was article written by the Great
Detective. in which he said that the "4apper"
per- qUh0 SzeaO those negro qc0noen IN AtZ0aotU
and aoho murdered Merry Phngan!
So, you see, Burns has shifted his ground
again.
When he was employed by the Haas Finance
Committee the record-evidence in the Frank
case had been made up.
Burns went over the official evidence, upon
which Conlev and Frank had both been con-
victed; and it was after he had studied this
official record, and had inspected the premises
where Mary Phagan was killed. that Burns
acquitted both the negro and the JeaO!
In other words. he declared that the per-
vert who had committed the awful crime had
never been suspected, and was still at large
lie 210aC returns to that the0ry Conse-
quently, he again acquits both the negro and
the Jew.
Burns latest hypothesis, as stated in the
New York American. will be a stunning blow
to those Thompsons, Macdonalds, ConnoIlys,
and Rabbis, who have been laying the whole
thing on the negro.
Let me give you Burns words as they APP
pear in The American, under his own sigma
ture:
The murders of Charlie Murray and Anna
Cohen the work Of distorted mind, one
of the most remarkable characteristics to which
is it's cunning. criminal of this type is almost
always Jekyl and Hyde. He effect
plete TRANSPORT alton Of individuality in an in
stGnt's notice.
The two New York murders are Of the same
kind as the murders of twenty-one colored women
in Atlanta. So completely did the perpetrator
of the latter deeds his tracks that he never
caught Although his operations extended
many months, they so sporadic and
freakish that ordinary detective methods of
avail.
The same sort Of man-if not the same man
who killed those tWenty-One Atlanta women also
murdered Mary Phagan, for whose death Frank
was convicted. That is subject however, which
/ will not discuss further at this time
The slayer CT these innocent children will be
found to be of morbid nature, which sometimes
may be detected by the books he reads, the pic
lures he buys the kind of he picks out of a
paper, or his manner of observing women.

DODGE COMPLAINT
Hiding behind a technical point,
Sam1 insult, Henry Blair and Sam1
McRoberts of New York slipped from
under a complaint filed by ]. B. Ho-
garth as a taxpayer before the ILL
nois Public Utility Comm'n. Hogarth
had filed a brief claiming that the
three money kings had manipulated [
100000 in bold bonds on mort
gage of the Northwestern Elevated
Railroad Co.
These bonds we're issued by the
Chicago Elevated Railways Collat-
eral Trust, which is controlled by the
trio, purchased by them at 80 cents
on the dollar and then retailed at
fancy prices on the bond market.
This, according to Hogarth, was a
subterfuge by which the Northwest
ern 81" evaded the state law requir-
ing permission of the public utilities
body to issue securities.
Hogarth claimed that the Collater-
al Trust was a part of the North
western 81" Co. and could be gov
erned therefore as a public utility
same as the railroad. This claim was
turned down by Comm'r Owen
Thompson who held that the trust
company was a separate body and
that the public utilities commission
had no authority.
Financial references show that the
Chicago Elevated Collateral Trust
purchased practically all of the out
standing capital stock of the North
western road in 1911.

WANTS SUBMARINE WAR
BY Carl w. Alderman
copyright, 1915, by United Press)
Berlin, via The Hague, June rs
The preliminary draft of the German
reply to the second note,
subject to change, l am authorita-
lively informed, contains the follow
ing representations:
THAT Germany is fighting for
the freedom of the seas, but does not
desire in any way to jeopardize the
interests of neutrals.
2-An expression of appreciation
of the friendship of America.
Acceptance of President Viii
sons suggestion of willingness to
mediate between Germany and Great
Britain to obtain a modification of
the British blockade in return for
modification of Germany's methods
of submarine warfare.
Am indication that Germany
probably was misinformed in her
contention that the Lusitania was
armed.
5-An indication that Germany is
willing to negotiate with America
along the lines laid down by Presi-
dent Wilson in his humanity plea,
without entirely giving up submarine
war on enemy merchantmen, which
many regard as Germany's most eff
fective sea weapon.
6-An indication that any compro-
mise to which Germany may agree
regarding belligerent ships must Sc
cure to Germany the safety of her
submarines from their attacks. In
this connection the death of Com
mander Otto Weddigen and the crew
of the U-29, who are alleged to have
lost their lives when a British tank
steamer flying the Swedish flag ram
med the submarine, probably will be
cited.

Doctors Who Operate on the Field
Under Fire Require Nerves
That Are Steady.

In the fighting area Red Cross work
have yer done In past campaigns.
Those who succor the wounded do not
now wait until the end Of a battle be-
fore they commence their humane
work, neither do they remain in safety
some distance at the rear. The num-
are too great for that, and assistance
must be given to them on the battle
field itself, with shot and shell whis-
Ting around. Surgeons now make
their way along the trenches under
heavy fire, carrying small surgical
cases which contain a number of abb
solutely necessary medicines. These
include pain-killing drugs, such as
morphine, a~ntiseptics and syringes. On
the wounded soldier himself a first-aid
outfit can be found, as every military
man carries in his knapsack a little
packet of antiseptic gauze and a roll
of bandages. The surgeon makes his
patient as comfortable as possible and,
If he can, drags him to a point where
the bursting shells are not likely to
injure him. Then, on his hands and
knees; the plucky worker makes his
way along the rows of dead and
wounded, taking as many, if not more,
risks than the 'Tommies' themselves.
OF course, working under such try
ing conditions the surgeon cannot do
all he would wish for the wounded.
BY means of injections from his hypo-
dermic syringe he temporarily alleyi-
ates their pain, and in serious cases
stops bleeding by tightly knotted
bandages placed round the injured
limb, while broken bones he puts in
a "splint," provided, in many instances,
by the stricken soldiers bayonet.

Is also a great educator. Places we
had never even heard of previously

distances r apt to be somewhat con-
fusing unless understood. 1t ought,
however, to be quite easy to remember
that a meter measures about one and
o~ne-twelfth yards, or more exactly,
1887 inches. A decameter is 10 me-
ters, a hectometer is 100 meters, and
a kilometer is 1000 meters. or a little
more than three-lfths of a mile. The
Russians express the length of their
marches or the distance from place to
place in versts. A verst is rather
more than a kilometer, the exact dis
lance being 0.66288 of a mile, or be-
tween three-ffths and four-1fths of
that distance.

An Accounting Demanded.

After the widow of the late Samuel III.
Chambers died there was a suggestion
that Mrs. William L.. Butterworth, sister
Of Mrs. Chambers, had received more
from the estate than she was entitled to.
There was quite q little friction from the
time the inventory of the estate was
taken. Representing his step-children,
Joshua E. Borton insisted upon every
article in the house being put on the list.
This was done, and some articles were
sold that might otherwise have been
passed over to members of the family.
After the sale Mr.. Borton contended
that Mrs. B~utterworth should make an
accounting of all her dealings with her
sister. 1t was insinuated that Mrs. But
terworth had taken advantage of the
fact that her sister was blind and had
become possessed of articles of jewelry
and other valuable property and that
the bulk of her personal income was de-
| rived from undue influence over her
| sister.
In order to have the insinuations prop
erly investigated and to discover whether
there was any foundation for them, John
B. Davis, as executor of the Chambers
estate, was compelled to apply to Vice
Chancellor Leaning for an order to COM
pei Mrs. Butterworth to make an ac-
counting Of all her transactions with her
sister. The case was commenced Tues
day before the Vice Chancellor. Mr..
Davis was represented by v. Claude
Palmer and Thomas E. French. Joshua
e. Borton, as step-father to Mrs. Cham
bers' grandchildren, and Captain Walter
A. Barrows, as the maternal grandfather
of the children, also appeared in the
case with Messrs. Palmer and French.
Mrs. Butterworth was represented by
Senator White and George M. Hillman
In reply to the charges made against
her Mrs. Butterworth said she had sold
a hotel at Manasquan for $500. By
careful management she had been able
to add 50, 500 to this sum, making her
total possessions $4,000. While living
with her sister she was not charged any
uliliAS " bOdld, dl10 ACA CAObltuS QAb
not cost her much as her sister gave her
much of it. In substantiation of her
statements Mrs. B~utterworth had several
witnesses.
At the conclusion of the testimony
the Vice Chancellor said he could not see
how he could compel Mrs. Butterworth
to make an accounting, as she had nc
data or tangible accounts on which she
could make a showing. All of the trans
actions were merely matters of memory,
without any written accounts to be
shown. 1t was then suggested that the
matter be referred to a Master in Chan.
Gerry to further investigate, but the Vice
Chancellor said as long as he had begun
the work he preferred to continue it. He
was perfectly willing to continne the
case in order that the complainant
might produce additional testimony il
they could discover any that would aid
them. AS this appeared to be the best
that could be lone the case went ovel
until next Thursday.
