MURDERED
Cleveland Girl Once Resided
In Mansfield
Where She Was Employed
In Cigar Factory
Mansfield News.)

Before moving to Cleveland and
becoming, It's said, a butterfly in the
city's night life, Dolores Evans,
known to others as Elizabeth Meyers
and also Mary Meyers, who 1t is al
legged was brutally murdered by Louis
Bianchetti, alias Louis Whits, resided
in Mansfield for period of nearly
two years.
During her residence in this city,
the unfortunate girl, who was known
as Mary Meyers, lived at No. 1913 w.
Sixth street with MIR. and Mrs. Wilson
Truman.
Mr.. Truman, now resident of De
troit and according to the morning
papers positively identified the girl,
was her uncle.
Always of vivacious disposition,
Mary Meyers made large circle OF
friends during her residence in Mans
field. While in this city she was EN-
ployed at the American Cigar factory
and was considered the prettiest Of
the large number of girls there EN-
ployed.
| The life of the murdered girl was
| far from being one of sunshine and
roses. Several relatives bymarriage
who live here, stated that the girls
father and mother separated wher
she was only thirteen years old. A
that time they lived in Oil City, Pa
Discontinued with domestic rela
tions at home, Mary wrote to hel
uncle in Mansfield and later came
here to live. At that time she was
about fifteen years old.
While residing here Mary had sew
eral photographs taken and last weel
when her picture was published in {
Cleveland paper, her Mansfield rela
tives, possessing her pictures, a
once recognized her as the victim o
the gruesome murder.
Although she was ever eager 70
excitement and liked pretty clothes
Mary Meyers was of saving dispC
sition and during her two years res
dence in this city banked sufficien
funds to go to Pittsburgh where sh
studied hair-dressing
Soon following her departure fror
Mansfield, her whereabouts becam
unknown to her relatives and it wa
not until the story of the girls tragl
death appeared in the newspaper
that they were aware of her residenc
in Cleveland.
Mr. and Mrs. Truman only recentl
moved to Detroit and when the girl
picture was published, the uncle vi
tied Cleveland and established he
identity.
To many of the girls now emplo
, ed at the American Cigar Factor,
Dolores Evans, or Elizabeth or Mar
Meyers was well known and the al
nouncement of her tragic death hs
been learned with deep regret.

REFUSAL
TO INDORSE.
Willis Administration BY
Republican Committee
Not Only Unkind, But Poor
Brand Of Politics

Willis Deserved Better At
Hands of Committee
Foraker Appears To Be Get
ting Into The Game
For Delegate-a Large and
United States Senator

Columbus, o., Jan. 19-Refusal OF
the Republican state committee to in
dorse the administration of Governor
Frank B. Willis, was not only unkind,
but it looks like a mighty poor brand
of politics. Willis deserves better at
the hands of the COMMITTEES. The Re-
publican. party in Ohio as well as the
administration of Governor Willis will
be up for approval or disapproval at
the next election. From an opposing
party standpoint it creates laugh to
see the mess Republican leaders are
in, but it indicates nothing of profit.
The people now know the fraud that
was perpetrated on them in 1914. Will
lis exemplifies that fraud, but his party
is blamed for it. Frank B. Willis was
nominated by the Republican leaders,
who offered him and traded over him.
The deals in which he featured were
worked by Republican hands. The lies
by which he profited came out of Re-
publican mouths. Spellbinders of the
Republican committees talked side by
side with Willis and they vouched for
him. Republican reputation at this
late date of the Willis administration
comes at face value-it is recognized
as a difference over the division OF
spoils. But it will avail nothing.
The quarrel of Republican leaders
and of Willis brings to mind the old
saying: when thieves fall out hon
est men get their due"
1t seems practically certain that
Former Senator Joseph Benson For
aker will be candidate for member OF
the Ohio delegation-at-large to the Re
publican national convention. If he is
successful in his hopes it seems prob
able that he may then become can

States senators.

publican contest for delegate-at-largt

The farmer who fails to plant plenty of corn, hay, peanuts, etc,
and raise all the hogs and cattle possible, may well stop and ponder
the inevitable result of the above caption.
No European war can affect the security of the maj who owns
torty acres and a mule, one or two COWS, a halt dozen shoas and a
dozen hens and a red rooster. Far less of this worlds goods have
been the nucleus around which substantial rural fortunes have been
built up.
If men, situated as Indicated above, raise all things for home
consumption possible and a moderate cotton crop, pick, gin and
store same and sell it in a years time instead of all at once, we will
never have any worry about the price of cotton.
If we do not raise enough corn and meat to run our farms we
barn the candle at both ends by creating big demand for corn and
meat and Cutting the market for cotton.
If the cotton acreage is increased more than FIVE per cent over
last year W e may see cotton under ten cents and corn over 81 and
meat so high that only rich people and dining car walters can afford
10 eat it.
The one horse tagmer is not the man who gluts the market with
cotton and creates the biggest demand for meat, corn and mules be
cause he does not raise them. 1t is the large cotton planters of
Georgia, the Mississippi Delta and Texas, who plant for fifteen cents
and IT the seasons hit right get SC or &C for most of their crops.
At this writing cotton is a drug on the market, while you cannot
get enough corn, meat and mules, even at advancing prices.
He who is wise will raise something to eat and some cotton
1e who isn't wise will raise all cotton and expect to pay for his sup.

yourself hard questions about yourself.
Ascertain, from original sources, if you

if you always tell the square, perfect

You May Save Your Boys Life.

The Sentinel has been requested TO
admonish those parents whose bows are
grabbing the rear Of freight trains
about the depot in Grenada and taking
q short ride that they had best see that
the practices are discontinued at once,
otherwise history will repeat itself and
some home will be in sorrow and sad
ness over the death of a dear little boy.
1t is needless to say that it is a very
dangerous practice and while it is
know that the boys do not appreciate
the danger, nevertheless the danger is
there and the parents of the town
would do well to see that their boys are
kept away from the depot and off NOV
ing trains.
1t might be proper to say that the
boys are violating the law and are sub
ject to arrest every time thew board a
freight train.

Let Us Have Ships to
Carry Cotton 10 Market.

Cotton is commanding fancy price
in England and European countries.
If shipping facilities were adequate
it would be worth more in our marke
than it is today.
President Wilson, with the clea
vision of craftsmanship, foresaw tn
urgent necessity for an enlarged mer
chant marine and he offered to Con
gress the Ship Purchase Bill.
If that bill had been enacted into Law
its benifcent operation would o be
gin to be felt in the reduction of ocear
freights and marine insurance and cot
ton would be several cents higher e.
this time. A few obstructionists ir
the Democratic majority in Congress,
nine in all, allied themselves with the
Republicans and defeated the measure.
| What the action of these nine men has
cost the South in depressing the price
Of cotton cannot be determined accu.
rately. But it unquestionably amounts
to hundreds of millions.
England has been transporting the
bulk of our cotton across the oceans.
Her merchantmen have been taken
from ocean-carrying m and
have been converted into armed cruis-
ers or battle ships.
The scarcity Of merchantmen is SO
great that freight room is not avail
able for transporting cotton and it now
costs fifteen dollars a bale to ship
cotton to England. Had President
Wilson's Ship Purchase Bill been passed
by the last Congress, it is reasonable
to estimate that this charge would now
be reduced one-half to the benefit OF
u cotton growers. But President
Wilson is no gutter. He has had an.
other ship purchase bill introduced into
this Congress and it will take more
than a half dozen recalcitrant Demo.
