CHILD IS DRIVEN
INSANE BY TROUBLE
13-YEAR-oLD GIRL, MOTHER
MURDERED. FATHER HUNG
BREAKS UNDER STRAIN.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Dec. 22.-Her
mother dead, her father hanged for the
crime, In her mind the memory that
her testimony had helped send her
father to the gallows, the Ave little
brothers and sisters to whom she had
been little mother scattered in diff
ferent homes and herself without a
home; these are the reasons why
Erie Sprouse,, 13 years old, was yes
terday found to be of unsound mind
and today will be committed to the
state hospital for the insane.
Last summer the body OF Erie'a
mother was found on an abandoned
farm in st. Louis with the skull
crushed from hammer blows. On July
16 William H. Sprouse was hanged
at Clayton, Mo-, having been convicted
OF the murder OF his wife. Probably
the most damaging testimony against
him were the words of Erie and her
brother, Roy, IA years old.
Papa took mamma away from our
home in East st. Louis and brought
back another woman, who he said
would be our new mamma" the chill
dren said.
Sprouse later attempted to get q
marriage license to marry this wom-
an. which with other circumstantial
evidence fastened the crime on him.
After the execution of Sprouse, homes
were found for all Of his children ex-
cepting Erie, though she seemed to be
the brightest.

COUNTRY REACHES
ANOTHER RECORD
GOODS SENT OUT DURING THE
MONTH OF NOVEMBER
WORTH HALF BILLION.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 22.-For-
eign trade of the United States in No
vember jumped to the unprecedented
total of half billion dollars. A de-
partment of commerce statement is
sued today shows that imports as well
as exports broke records for the
month. A record Of five billion dol
lars for the last twelve months ex-
ports and imports was set.
November imports were $164,319,-
1863, more by S11.000000 than the pre-
vious November. record, made in 1912.
November exports of $33f,144,527
were the greatest of any month in the
country's history The best previous
month was last October when exports
were $32S,030,2S1.
Twelve months imports to Novem-
ber 80 aggregated $1,730,243, ,229
against $1,s5S,645,027 for the preced-
ing year. The years exports were
$3,437292,533, one and half billion
dollars more than the preceding year,
and nearly one billion more than two
years ago.
The great amount Of gold pouring
into the United States Is shown In
the statement that sci 1,000,000 in gold
arrived in November. Only $7,000,o0O
reached this country in November,
1912. Twelve months imports Of gold
aggregated $41O,650,s76, compared
with $5S,352,035 in 1914. November

lease of the thirty Americans detained
at Chihuahua by General Villa, it be-
came known today, was condition i'm.

was manifested after receipt Of advices
that additional Villa troops were NOV
ing towards Juarez, but government
