POLICE SCENT MURDER
Body of Asylum Inmate Be
lieved to Have Been Placed

It is believed, led the assailants to place
the body Of Peter Lewis, an employe Of

dered during a fight with some one whom
he met on his return to the asylum.
Every effort will be made to find the men
with whom Lewis spent the early part of
the night, and II was learned that they
had definite clues In this direction

had a check for Si0.67, but when the dead
mans clothing was searched only 40 cents

tective John Carrlgan, who is making an

QUAIL THRESH WHEAT CROP
Pennsylvania Farmer Tells How the
Birds Get Enough to
Eat

Ebensburg, Pa.-John Newton, a
farmer living at Munday's, near Eb-
ensburg, tells a remarkable story of
the sagacity of a flock of quail.
Following the instructions of Doc
tor Kalbfus, Newton has been placing
grain in his barnyard for the benefit
of the birds. Apparently the amount
was not sufficient to satisfy the needs
of a flock of quail, which fed at the
farm daily. Inside the barn was a
quantity of unthreshed wheat, the
heads of which are closed tightly.
Other birds pecked at these heads
unsuccessfully, but the quail solved
the difficulty.
According to Newton, wise old
quail flew out of the barn on Sunday
with a stalk of wheat in it's beak. Lead
ing into the barn is a wooden bridge.
The quail stuck the lower part Of the
stalk through a crack in the bridge.
Three quail seized it on the other
side and tugged away Justify. The
stalk was stripped clean. Newton
says the quail took turns carrying
out wheat and threshing it. until all
were satisfied; and that since they
have repeated the performance daily.

MADE BLIND in WAR

horizontal, the root of the nose being
also shattered.
Appalled, by the great number OF
blinded soldiers, the Hungarian spe-
cialists, Professors Grosz and Silly,
have started subscription for the
erection of a special institution des-
tined to assure livelihood for these
unfortunate victims of the war. There
they would be taught occupations
suitable to their infrmity.
On the other hand Professor Blesal-
ski of Berlin and Professor Lorenz of
Vienna are concerned not only in car
ing for the wounded soldiers, but in
preparing the numberless war cripples
for their future tasks of gaining live
lihood. Every time Professor Blesal-
ski visits his patients he endeavors to
bring it home to their minds that they
will have to follow their former occu-
pations. A teacher who had lost his
right arm has learned to write with
his left hand and each day he becomes
more and more convinced that he will
again be able to exercise his profess
sion. A gardener who lost his lower
limbs was convinced by Professor
Blesalski that he will be able to re-
sumo gardening; farmer that he will
be able to NOW and to rake. A mason
was made to understand that despite
the loss of his right forearm he would
be able to do brick and mortar work
with the aid of an artificial hand.

SOLVES TRAMP EVIL.
Federal TreSpass Law Prom
ises Best Results.
Would Keep Hobo OFF Railroads ano
Force Him to Go to Work-Has
Worked Well in England
and GERMANY

WashingtOn.-It begins to look as
though the travel days of the original
"See America First tourist-the
tramp-are now numbered. Chiefs of
police, sheriffs, constables, town mar
shals, chief special agents of railways
and other peace officers of the coun-
try, quick in recognizing the effective
ness of the proposed federal trespass
law as crime diminisher, are bend
ing their efforts to get. congress to
pass the measure at the present ses-
sion. At last, these men declare,
there has been discovered the real So
luton of the hobo problem. The tres
pass act is a federal measure, carry
ir3 a penalty that is calculated to
keep tramps and all other undesir-
ables off the rights of way of rail-
ways throughout the United States.
With such a "block system" it is
said there can be only one result
the passing of the nations greatest
nuiCance. Police officials say that
with the sidedoor Pullman means of
transportation cut off from Weary
Wraggles, but one thing will remain
for him-go to work. Officers of mu
inequalities announce that with their
means of travel taken from them, the
rounding up of the country's undesir-
ables will be an easy task. They will
not be able to get from place to place.
No community will tolerate them as
Migrants; consequently they will have
to go to work.
pass law is the outcome of the recent
conference of the United States gov
ernments Industrial commission held
in Kansas City. Among the men in
vited to appear before this commits
sion and give views calculated to bet
ter the conditions of industrial life in
the country was Al G. Ray, chief spe-
cial agent of the Great Northern rail
way, st. Paul. Ray outlined to the
commission the federal trespass law
as the only real simon-pure remedy for
the tramp evil. He announced that
he advocated this measure after %
years of police work He said he had
studied similar systems in countries
of the old world and they worked eff
fectively. In those countries, he said,
especially England and Germany, the
traveller never sees a tramp on the
right of way of railway.
Ray told the commission that he is
certain, from the study of statistics
gathered on the transcontinental line
he policies, that the passage of a fed
eral tresI @ss law would decrease
crime in the United States IS per cent.
