RESPONSIBLE For Death Of 1e-Ysar-

Fix Identity Of Person Responsible
Other Iowa News.

Davenport, March 31.-That 19-year-
old F'reda Schwake, the waitress
whose death occurred Friday after the
most frightful physical torture, was
made the victim of unscruplous prac-
titioners or bungling medical men who
covered up their tracks at the cost Oh
her life was the one important dis
closure at the coroner's inquest. rouf
hours were taken in the holding OF the
inQuisition and after the various WIZ
nesses had been examined the jury
came in with an open verdict. Inc
coroner had failed to bring out eVi-
dence OF a conclusive nature.
What are you going to do about
it," ne was asked.
Il don't know was the answer.
Are you going to continue this
prosecution?'
Il wouldn't care to say.
Conflicting stories were told by two
important witnesses and the coroner
seemed bewildered in labyrinth OF
statements, intricate and involved.
Girl Was Tortured.
Principal witnesses testified in COM
monplace phraseology, and told OF the
excruciating pain which the girl must
have undergone during tee last days
Of her suffering. With all this there
was not a friend of the young victim
presen, to take up her cause. That
she had suffered physical fortunes IN
the extreme was evident from the
statement following the autopsy Her
body was drawn and convulsed, heE
feet and hands We're distorted with
muscular contraction and the very
foundation of natural resistance had
been crumbled Even a constant use
of an anodyne had failed TO give the
girl rest and during the last Few
DAYS of her suffering she seemed to
lose mental control probably due to
the bitter results Of the operation and
the opiates administered.
DR.. ]. r. Burkhardt was the mos'
important material witness in the
case, in that he had seen the Cir

tina, she had told her nurse that she
had gone to Clinton TO consule ply

not corrooorated because of the fact
that it was shown in the testimony
OF DR.. Burkhardt that she had beer
in his office on the day she had said
she had gone TO Clinton.

Des Moines, March 30--In state
ment issued by Mr.. w. b. Barney,
dairy and food commissioner, attention
is. called to the fact that IL Is the Few
wintered lover flies which we see at this
time of year, that are responsible for
countless millions that are menace
to our health in mid -summer.
1t has been clearly shown that such
maladies as typhoid fever, dysentry.
summer complaint, tuberculosis and
many other diseases are spread by
permitting the housefly to deposit the
germs which cause these diseases, up
on our food supply
Numerous methods Of preventing this
contamination have been devised. but
none is as effective as swatting or
trapping the fly before the eggs are
deposited and by destroying iy-breed-
ms places.
Careful study has shown that 80
per cent of the house flies are bred III
stable manure and the other 10 per cent
in the various filthy places about the
premises. Flies are truly signs OF care
lessness and filth.
The old saying that IAN ounce OF
prevention is worth a pound of cure
holds true in the case of flies. few
hours spent now in swatting and
cleaning will save US many hours OF
labor later on. 1t is only when we per-
