GIRLS DEATH BRINGS MYSTERY
MURDER OR SUICIDE?

A mystery bearing a likeness to
murder confronted the police when
the body of Anna Johnson, %, of Lud-
ington, Mich. was found in the resi-
dence of Mrs. E. S. Shaver, midwife,
1920 Sedgwick St, with bullet in the
head.
The fact that the bullet was in the
right temple and the revolver found
with the body was clenched in the
left hand led the police to believe
that the girl had not suicided.
Although the body was found at
o'clock by a roomer in the Shaver
house the affair was not reported to
the police until the corpse was sent
to the undertaking parlors of Edward
Shute, 328 w Chicago av.
A buIlethoIe in the wall and an
other in a dresser confirmed the sus-
picion of the police that the case was
not a suicide. Theh coroner is in
vestigating also.

AURORA DIVIDED AS TO GUILT
OF SCHOOL HEAD
The town of Aurora is evenly di-
vided on the innocence and guilt of
Albert S. Kingsford, superintendent
of schools, accused of improper con-
duct by several women and girls and
defended by many prominent officials
and close friends.
Two more accusers, young girls
both, were added to the list. Their
names are held from publication.
One of the girls, according to
Frank Thielen, theater manager, tells
in an affidavit that the apparently re-
spectacle school head locked her in
his Office one day and allowed her to
leave only after she threatened to
make an cutlery.
The accusation of the other, which
Theilen says he can back up with a
written statement, is even more Sc
rious. The girl complained of an in
suit from Kingsford while he was sit
ting next to her in a moving picture
show.
The other side of the story is that
the saloon interests are responsible
for the tales which have f1oated about
the town and that the affair was put
up to discredit Kingsford, an ardent
dry worker.
The school board has announced
that a private trial would be given
the superintendent when all of the
charges have been subjected to a
quiz.

MINERAL OUTLOOK
 TO WESTWARD GOOD,
 SAYS INSPECTOR SMITH

Sumner S. Smith. United States mine inspector, returned on the Ad- miral Farragut from the Westward where he visited the Ellamar mine, and other properties on Prince Will liam Sound. Inspector Smith who was accompanied by Territorial Mine Inspector William Maloney, said this morning that business in connection with the Westward mines ls looking very prosperous. "The increased de- mand for copper" said Mir. Smith, "has enabled great many of the smaller properties to begin shipping, and those in Prince William Sound are doing especially well, especially the Dickey and Mcintosh properties.
 During their visit at Ellamar, the inspectors investigated the two acci- dents which occurred in the mines there about six weeks ago, in one of which one man was killed, and in the other. an explosion. two men were badly burned. No report in connection with these two matters has yet been made.
 Inspector Maloney Is at Valdez, but will return shortly.

In the case of the Arabic all the
evidence IS in support OF the torpedo.
1t was seen as it was coming through

They have not as yet adopted such
method of attacking commercial
vessels under whatever flag they may
be flying, while the torpedoing of the
Arabic was in full accord with the
methods which Germany has been US
ing in the past. There is nothing in
the facts thus far disclosed which
does anything but fasten the, blame
entirely upon Germany. Its reputation
in that very particular is against it
while the evidence obtained doesn't
cause the least doubt.

INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS.

After Iaboring for a long time and
with much of its work receiving sharp
criticism because of the methods
adopted by its chairman, the indus
trial relations commission, named for
the purpose of investigation and re-
porting on conditions existing between
capital and labor for the purpose of
remedying those which are detrimen-
tai, has rendered its findings
As might have been expected the
commission is unable to agree upon
any one report. The members not only
disagree upon conditions as found,
but they disagree upon the action
which should be taken to promote bet
ter relations and to bring about re-
lief and industrial peace. Three re-
ports are submitted as the result of
the work which has covered period
of three years and which has cost
upwards Of half a million dollars
These reports are made for the pur-
pose of guiding congress in such steps
as it may consider it advisable to
take as the result of the investiga-
TONS Just how much benefit will be
derived therefrom remains to be seen.
The conflicting character of the find
ings and recommendation, including
those of a highly radical nature, can
be depended upon to confuse as much
as they are calculated to assist. The
one point on which all appear to agree
is that there is need of an adjustment:
of industrial conditions, but that was
recognized before the commission was
named. If, however, their work re-
suits in something being accomplish
ed, it will be worth the money spent
otherwise it will be a waste Of time
money and effort.

Personal Liberty.

Mr.. Editor:-Of recent years it has
been the fashion for certain editors to
scott at personal liberty" in connec-
ton with the movement to prohibit the
manufacture and sale of liquor but l
wonder if these same scoffers viii ap-
prove of the peculiarly offensive form
of attack on personal liberty to buy
and use liquor that is described in the
following Associated Press item from
Mason City in the dry state of Iowa:
THE seizure of 119 barrels of beer at
local railroad freight house caused
the city authorities today to decide on
the appointment of an official to be
known as liquor censor 1t is to be
the duty Of the censor to determine
what citizens have temperance records
sufficiently good to entitle them to re-
ceive liquor from wet territory
This item may OF may not be true.
But its truth is not essential, because
the main point is that just such
wretched medliug with other peoples
business is the logical outcome Of the
prohibition propaganda
The ideal temperance law from the
dry standpoint would be to give to
a prohibitionist the power to sit in
Judgment on the fitness of his neigh
bors to select the articles of their diet,
But why stop with a censorship on
diet?
Why not pass officially on the moral
fitness of each of the women of the
community to adopt certain styles Of
dress?
Why not have an official censorship
on each mans fitness to handle money,
or to take unto himself a wife, or to
have more than one child?
1t would seem that our civil liberty
is in greater danger from reform
than it is from any other source, for
it is only in the name OF goodness
that our freedom is being curtailed
The leading prohibition organiza-
ton calls itself the Church in Action"
and. as such. IS attempting to assume
control of the political and moral af-
fairs of the people, and if the So
called Church in Action succeeds in
getting control. then the Liberty Bell
| might as well be thrown into the
melting pot and be recast in the form
| of a church surmounted by a cannon,
or more properly perhaps, the image
of the thumbscrew used for the con-
version Of heretics.

RAISING WILD CARROTS.

Reports indicate that il is a big
year for crops and they are well sur-
ported by a little observation. Moth
Ing, however, appears to be growing
better than the wild carrots and it
makes little difference in which direc-
ton one goes, there is to be found a
prolific growth of this persistent plant
which soon drives out all others and
takes full possession of the land. In
some instances so little attention is
given to the suppression of the wild
carrot that field at a distance gives
the impression that it is a well cul-
tiYated patch of buckwheat.
This discloses not only a disregard
for the worth OF farmland and the
property of neighbors, but it shows a
contempt for a state law which for
bids the allowing of this plant to go
to seed. No one pays any attention
to the law. Many property owners
are careful to cut orSpull the carrots
wherever they are discovered because
they know the plant to be a detri-
ment to the land and other crops, but
as far as the law is concerned it
might as well not have been enacted.
The wild carrot is a pest and once
it. gets chance to live ard spread
ts quickly becomes hard task to
eradicate it. 1t is generally recog-
EZed as being no good, but even then
too slight thought is given to the fight
which should be made against it The
fields that are white with it show that
same spirit of don't care on the part
Of the owner which is indicated by the
orchard filled with tent caterpillars
1t is one of the little details of farm
ng which is seriously neglected. The
crop this year couldn't be any better
f the plant was being cultivated.

FACING DIFFICULTIES

In a country village away down in
Maine young teacher had taken her
first school 1t was hard one, as
most country schools are Many a
teacher had tried to fill the place and
failed The last one who attempted
it had been turned out of the school
by the pupils and the door locked
The one before that had left in de-
spair. No one could keep the school,
the people Of the village affirmed.
But not a word of this was said to
little Miss Wade. She came fresh
from the normal school, with bright
hopes and high ideals which she
meant to carry out IF the scholars
don't learn it'll be my own fault, was
one of her pet theories.
The new teacher selected her daint-
lest gown for the opening day of
school. a pale blue with lace at the
! throat Smiling and happy, with con-
fidence, she approached the small
of greeting to the group OF girls who
stood staring and snickering outside
the gate. But no one responded to
her greeting and the snickering grew
louder and boisterous-
The interior of the schoolrooom
would have discouraged a heart less
brave and hopeful than Miss Wade's.
A huge stove stood in the middle of
the room, with a. long pipe extending
the length of the ceiling The desks
were dIngy, with deep cuts Wnere
they had been hacked by the jack
knives of generations past. The
black-boards were grimy, and the
walls and ceilings black with dirt and
smoke of the past years The win
dows were covered with mud and
cobwebs.
The prospect was not encouraging.
but Miss Wade walked over to one of
the windows and threw it wide open,
letting in the fresh morning air and
sunshine and the scent of sweet
brier and, cedar. Looking out she
saw a view of field and wood that
gladdened her heart. She tried the
other windows but they stuck fast
Turning toward the door she saw a
motley group of children lodging in
and out. pushing each other and
giggling.
Next Miss Wade looked about for a
buster but could find none. What was
to be done2 Everything was covered
with dirt; she couldn't let the children
come into the room in that condition.
At last she found a rag and with 1t
busted desks and chairs and window
sills. There were no pictures How
she wished she had brought some
from home-she would send for them
at once. The few maps on the walls
were yellow with age and out of date
| Visions of all she would ask the COM
mittee 70 do for her came into heI
mind. The bell was large and heavy

RUssIA's NAVAL VICTORY.

Though the details are meagre 1t
cannot help being realized that the
naval victory in the Gulf of Riga fur
nishes encoura cement of no small i'm
portance to the Russians. 1t comes at
a time when they need it following the
serious losses which have accompanied
the drives of the German and
Austrian armies into and through Po-
land and into Russian territory at the
north With a carefully planned cam
paign against that seaport and with
preparations apparently underway for
launching large forces against Petro-
grad the Russians were in need of
such victory for the influence which
it will have upon it's defensive oper-
atoms.
Whether the Russians operated
alone in that sea battle or had the
assistance of British submarines it
matters little. They put up a fight
which resulted in a serious loss to
Germany and accomplished the des-
truction of q naval unit which Ger
many is in no position to lose without
some adequate gain, and this it failed
to make. 1t was q repulse which
stands out to the credit of the Russian
naval commanders, and weakens the
strength of Germany in the Baltic
Riga is a point Of vantage which
the Germans might well covet. 1t is
a port which is necessary for the
conduct of whatever operations they
may have in mind for further cam
paigns in the north. Equally true is
it that there should have been no
expectation that it would be an easy
nut to crack. Russia knows its value
and its defense of the gulf and Port
was in accordance Herewith.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Graves of Winter Green and
Others.

Mr.. Editor: In letter signed "One
of the Ramblers," which appeared in
this mornings issue of your paper,
inquiry is made concerning Spy Rock
in Griswold and the graves of Win
ter Green and others found upon its
crest Spy Rock is interesting topo-
graphically as the north side of the
noble gateway through which the Pa
chang valley enters the valley of the
Quinebaug. Across the Pachaug river
over against Spy Rock stands Geer
Hill, forming the south side of the
gateway The crests of these hills are
each $50 feet above sea level and
are the highest points in this imme-
date vicinity. From both lovely views
can be obtained
In August. 1898. the late DIR. George
j. Holmes and this writer carefully
examined the stones marking the
graves on Spy Rock and found five
graves marked with the following in
scripions: In memory of Mr.. Winter
Green, who died Nov. q, 1909 in the
18th year of his age.
Attend an offered grace today
Nor loose the blessing by delay"
e l. G. died the Sth day of jan
uary, 1735": e. B. 1751"; Il B. HAS"
Wv. G. 1854
In 1903 when the local chapter of
the Daughters of the American Rev
olution placed a boulder on the green
'TqMthe memory of the seventeen Rev
oluuonary martyrs of ancient Pa
chang" historical research revealed
that one of these men, Caleb Green,
was the son of Winter Green, whose
grave is on Spy Rock, and that an
other, DR. Eben Robinson, was prob
ably his nephew. Winter Green mar
ried Borrodil Bennett and lived on the
ancestral farm at Spy Rock where
his father, John, and his grandfather,
William, had lived and died before
him. The Bennets, to which family
his wife belonged were his neigh
bors and it is probable that this place
of graves on Spy Rock is the family
burial ground of the Bennets and the
Greens.
No one knows just why the hill is
called Spy Rock, or when it was so
named.
