the indicting of Dom NJ. Roberts.
Shortly after noon the big guns"
included in the indictment marched
from the Indiana Trust building where
a conference was held regarding bonds
to the court house, where the sheriff s
office resembled stock exchange.
Thomas Taggart gave bond for S..
900; Mayor Bell and Perrott for $1O,-
900 each. Former Police Chief Metz
ger furnished $4,000 bond. The larg.
er bonds were signed by prominent
men.
Thomas Taggart after furnishing
the necessary $4,000 bond declared he
had no statement to make regarding
the indictment except that he could
see no reason in the world why he
should be involved in the indictment
He appeared much surprised. Mayor
Bell promised he would have some
sharp things to say in a statement
which was under preparation and
would be issued late this afternoon
Most of those indicted took the situa
ton good naturedly but those more
prominent in political life maintained
a serious attitude.

Adolph Blickwedel Receives
Letter From Relative De-
scribing Conditions in East
ern War Zone.
Germany Has Large Food
Supply and no Fear of
Italy's Entrance Into The
War.

Thousands of unburied corpses left
to lie in Russia's SHOWS last winter
and now exposed to summers sun
are feared as the origin Of pestilence
in Poland and Galicia by the German
government. according to a letter
which Adolph Blickwedel received
from a relative in Berlin yesterday.
The letter sets out that sanitary
conditions in Poland and Galicia,
where the heavy fighting took place
last winter and spring, are awful ana
that plague is feared as result OF
the negligence Of Russians in burying
their dead. The letter is one of the
most interesting received from Ger
many in this city for long time. A
translation follows:
England has succeeded In buying
Italy and enlisting her in the cause of
our enemies. We accepted Italy's
declaration of war with composure
and are not afraid. We will settle
with Italy. although it will take many
lives and prolong the ending of the
war Hostilities will not end this
year.

PIT SILOS IN THE WEST.

They Are Particularly Profitable In
Drier Farming Districts.
Scattered over the drier farming
districts in Colorado, Kansas, Okla
homa, Texas and New Mexico there
are something more than 2,O0O big
holes in the ground, dug for the spe-
cifc purpose Of fighting the effects at
drought along lines that have already
been proved successful, writes Robert
81. Moulton. These holes vary from ten
to twenty feet In diameter and from
twenty to fifty feet in depth. They
are lined with concrete. Some of
them have concrete extensions above
the surface Of the ground
They look exactly like what they are
holes in the ground. They suggest
great cisterns, but their distance from
any roof shed which might catch sufh-
Cent water to fill them even if the
rains were heavy enough proves they
are not cisterns.
They are pit silos, and into them is
packed the silage made from corn.

fall and through the winter not only
keeps live stock alive, but fattens beef

their number is increasing rapidly. 1t

HONOR TO

tine and the Boulevard st. Marcel.
English and Alsatian pastors were
among the speakers at the exercises.
a group OF young girls of Pans
placed a bouquet on the statue in the
Rue Des Pyramides, III the names OF
their fathers who are serving at the
front. There were many British and
French soldiers in the professions.
Yesterday was the first time that
Protestants and civic groups have

about her cruel death. has not APP

the French girl was myth and that
no such person as Joan of Arc ever
lived. That she did live, however,
and put Grape upon many British
