Next to the "boozer'' the overly fat

RICH COUPLE SLAIN;
HOME IS SET AF|RE
John P. Becker and Wife of Ma
son, ILL.,, Victims.
$4,000 TAKEN BY THIEVES
Bodies Found Partially Burned on
Farm-Pair Distrusted Banks and
Kept Large Sum Hoarded
in Residence.

Peoria, H., Dec. 19.-John +. Becker,
one of the wealthiest farmers Of south
ern Illinois, and his wife have been
murdered on their 3,0OO-acre farm near
Mason City.
Robbery was undoubtedly the mo
tive. The police know that the couple
had Just received $4,000 rent money,
which has disappeared. In addition, n
large sum, said to have been boarded
for years by the couple, has disap-
peared BloodhOunds are on the tran
of the murderer or murderers.
The Beckers lost heavily some years
ago in bank failure at Pekin and
since then it has been known to all
their friends that they have distrusted
banks and have been boarding their
money on the farm.
The murderers set fire to the farm
house for the supposed purpose OF
making the crime appear an accident.
But the trick failed, for the fire went
out and the bodies were found with
marks of violence.
Hundreds of farmers and many
sherifTs' deputies from the country
side have formed posses and are
searching in all directions.

PEACE VOTE ASKED
SOCIALIST FEDERATION OF PARIS
PASSES RESOLUTION.
Immediate Action Sought to Have the
Proposal Submitted to Parliaments
of the Entente.

Paris, Dec. 19.-The socialist FEEDER
alton of the Paris district has passed
resolution. almost unanimously, Civ
ing favorable consideration to the pos
sible resumption Of international so
CialiSt relations. The resolution EN-
phasizes the possibility of these rela'
tons with special reference TO peace
negotiations on the condition that
clear proposals on an exactly defined
basis be submitted by Germany and
her allies.
The entente governments are invited
in the resolution not to reject any
peace proposals without serious con-
sideration, and to submit such pro-
posals to their respective parliaments.
1t is argued that n summary refusal
would be probably counted upon by
the ententes enemies as serious
blow to the allies cause, and might
diminish its moral force while increas-
ing that of its opponents.
1t is further urged that the more the
proposals of the central powers are
unacceptable, the greater is the duty
of the allies to denOunce them to the
" World and to show by immediate coun-
ter-proposals what they regard as the
indispensable objects of the war.
The governments intention to pro-
hibit the consumption of alcohol in
France has aroused strong opposition
among the large wine and spirit deal
ers. The syndicate of the wholesale
merchants of Bordeaux is sending o
deDutation TO Paris to demonstrate
with Premier Briant.

TWO SUSPECTS HELD
BROTHERS ARRESTED IN CON-
NECTioN WITH BECKER CRIME.
Bloodhounds Lead Posse to Homes of
Charles and John Thomas at
Mason City, III.

Mason City. H., Dec. 19.-Charles
Thomas, twenty eight years old, and
his brother, John Thomas. fourteen
years DID, are prisoners in the Mason
county Jail at Havana in connection
with the mysterious murder of Mr.. and
Mrs. John =. Becker, at their home
near here. Their arrest followed day
try, led by bloodhounds.
The Thomas brothers, Charles, n
farmer, and his brother, lad known
here as an incorrigible, protest their
innocence. They will be held pending
further investigation, and another ar
rest is expected to follow within "A
hours. The two men were taken to
Havana by Sheriff w. S. Close and
States Attorney Nischwitz No effort
was made to obtain their release on
bond.
The clues which led to the arrest of
the two brothers are as follows:
Bloodhounds, placed on the trail
early in the morning, went from the
scene Of the murder to the home of Il.
X. Thomas and then to the residence
of Walter Mangold, where John
Thomas was believed to have gone.
The dogs then went to the home of
Charles Thomas, who resides on the
Becker land, short distance from the
scene
Discharged cartridges found at the
Becker home Tailed with shells used
in 14shot 72-caliber rifle found in
the home of Charles Thomas.
Lead pellets taken from the bodies
of the victims also tailed with three
cartridges found not discharged in the
gun. Eleven empty cartridges were
found. The rifle was owned by Charles
Thomas and had been used by John
Thomas while out hunting.
The suppoSition of authorities who
the Thomas brothers. if they are guilty,
went to the Becker home and killed
the aged couple, then ran from the
scene of the tragedy, after failing in
an attempt TO burn the home, to hide
their crime, and went to the North
western tracks some distance away
They separated, it is believed, John
going TO the home of his father, Il. II.
Thomas, and Charles returning to his
home.
Robbery is now assigned as the mo-
tive for the crime. 1t is believed the
slayers escaped with at least $4,000
of which no trace has been found.
The aged people were made to suf-
fer horribly before they were killed is
the belief of officials investigating the
case. Both the bodies of Mr.. and Mrs
Becker were mutilated and bruised.

WILSON PUSHES FOOD QUIZ
President Considers Nationwide In
vestigation Has Accomplished
Much Good.

Washington, Dec. 19.--At President
Wilson'S direction the nationwide in
vestigation of the increased cost of
living will be continued with all pos
siblc vigor. 1t was said at the White
House that the president considers
that the investigation has already ac-
complished much good. He has not
given his approval to any Of the many
bills introduced in congress to meet
the situation. The president believes
it is difficult to solve the question
through federal legislation, for the
reason that it Is virtually impossible
for federal statutes to meet local con-
ditons.
