acquired one by his own efforts, Iii;
books are worth reading by anybody.
They inculcate the doctrine OF thor,
oushness in all things and il was this
principle that he applied when elected
to Tuskegee In 1881.
Washington knew his own people.
His theory vas that they were child,

WOMAN AND MAN
HACKED TO-DEATH
Former wife of Creatore and Com
pani0n Are Believed Victims Of
Memphis Negro,

Memphis, Tenn. Sept. 22.-After a
+ battling search all day for the perpe-
TRAITOR of the ghastlfest crime perpe-
trated in Memphis in years police hold
to the theory that an unknown negro
killed Marguerite Favar, an Austral-
ian. formerly actress on the Orpheum
vaudeville, hacking her body almost
to pieces; killed her companion, J. C.
CrowelI. a wealthy planter of Green
wood, Miss, and then set ire to the
fashionable apartment occupied by
Miss Favar and fed.
She formerly was the wife OF Gre
atore, celebrated bandmaster.
The police are putting through the
third degree the negro house boy, who
yesterday discovered a stream Of
smoke emanating from the apartment
known as the Benham fats, occupied
by Miss Favar.
He is said TO have declared he saw
another negro leaving the house Just
before he noticed the smoke
The skulls of both persons were
crushed Win q laf5G manner SGCuI Ell
from a garage in the rear OF the house
Blood was scattered throughout the
rooms and when the apartment was
broken into the bodies OF both victims
were partially burned.
Crowell's friends in Greenwood
claim he always carried considerable
money with him. This report caused
the police for a time to advance a the
ory that robbery might have been the
cause of the killing, but it was doubted
when it became known that the Favar
woman wore part of her jewelry The
rest was in a case. The mans dia-
m0nd stud was in mis- tie.
While some evidence of robbery was
discovered, it is believed the assassin
ransacked the place for other things
besides jewelry or money. vet, say the
police, no money was found in Gro
wells pockets and only Is cents in the
dead woman's purse.
