REMAINS ARRIVE
FROM ABERDEEN
Body Of Louise Cushing, Murder
ed in Aberdeen, Taken to
Parents Home.

The remains OF the late Louise
Cushing of this city, who was murder
ed by William Vogt at Aberdeen, S. d
last saturday, arrived in the city last
night. The body was taken to the
home Of her parents, Mr.. aid Mrs
John Buckmier, of, South Eighth
street and the funeral will be held
from there.
The body Of William vogt, who
committed suicide after numbering
Mrs. Gushing, will likely be inferred
at Aberdeen. Vogt's father is said to
live at Drake, and he also has a sister
living in Detroit, MINI. g.
The death of Mrs. Gushing in the
recent tragedy was instantaneous, 40.
cordlng to reports from Aberdeen.
The bullet, entered over her right eye
and entered the brain. Vogt then
held the muzzle OF the gun ever his
left ear and sent'a bullet into his own
brain, which caused instant death.
A %coroner's jury returned a verdict
in the case in accord with tile facts.
Jealousy is given as the motive lsr
the crime. Mrs. Porter Of Aberdeen,
in whose home the tragedy occurred,
and who was also shot bv Vogt. is
still in a verv serious condition. The
woman is in an Aberdeen hospital,
and unless complications set in will
soon be out Of danger.
Aberdeen is still very much
wrought up over the crime, which was
,committe ! in one of the quiet residen.
tial parts of the city.
The funeral will be held Wednes.
day morning, but the final arrange
ments have not been made as yet.

Inhabitants, has maintained the en-
tire population Of a nation for almost
a year. " Ser
A remarkable feature of the report
which has hitherto received but little
notice is the effort being made by the
Belgians to hep themselves. Over
fifty percent of the money expended
by the commission in. D~enevolence :,
being furnished by Belg:ans abroad,
and a large amount also is; being sup
pied by Belgians in Belgium.
In discussing the report Herbert
C. Hoover, chairman of the commits
sion, said: 1T may cause mere sur
prise among Americans, who believe
that the United States is, provision
ing the Belgian and French people in
the track of war, that only something
ever six million dollars in food,
clothes and money have come from
the United States. However, tle
American public should realize that
the commission in its organization,
working personnel and political as
poets is distinctly American. The
American charitable support, SO early
and promptly given, came at the very
inception CT the movement when such
backing was vital to the success Of
the organization in giving it time to
build. This support gave the com
mission it's foundation, from which it
acquired the moral prestige that en-
abled it to secure vitality necessary
concessions from the various beliger-
ent governments. Nor is the necessi-
tv for this valued support at al over.
The problem becomes more difficult
every day, for ethe number of desti-
tute has inceased from 1 ,0J0, 900 last
October to 2,750,OO0 in June, and now
grows at the rate ct 2O0,Ol0.a month.
And our resources, large as they are.
cannot keep pace with the! need il
the charitable public loses interest in
cur work. Moreover the continued
support of America is necessary to
provide the commission with the ,Trcr-
all prest ge as an American institu-
zion which it now possesses in The
sight Of the warning powers, and the
maintainance of this prestige can on,y
be secured by the continued sentimen-
tai and practical backing OF the
American people"
