NEWS NOTES

Rev. E. H. Molony of St. Peters church also had a letter from Dublin this morning but it was dated March 20. long before the outbreak. 1t has been opened by the censor, however. One bit of news contained in it is that property in the Irish capital now is taxed actually more uthan fifty per cent of the valuation because of the war. Some property is taxed ten shnHngs and Dinepcnce in the pound and other property is taxed over eleven shiuiugs. In Seward that would mean that a man having a thousand dollars worth of property would have to pay more than five hun dred dollars a year in taxes alone.

CHICKEN JOE," SLAYER
 OF WARDEN'S WIFE, HANGED
Special to Gateway by United Pressj

Special to Gateway by United Pressj
 JOLIET, H., April 2l. - Chicken Joe" Campbell, convicted slayer of Mrs. Odette B. Allen, wife of former warden Edmund M. Allen of the state peniteatiary here and victim of the honor system, paid the penalty for his crime today by being hanged.
 Mrs. Allen, "angel of Joliet" was found dead Sunday morning June 20, 1915 in her bed in the Wardcn's suite at the penitentiary. Her skull had been fractured and her body fearfulIy burned.
 The bed in which the body lay was still in flames and the room thick with smoke when the prison fire depart ment broke in upon the fearful scene.
 From the first it was believed Mrs. Allen was murdered by a product of the "honor system" she and her hus- band built up.
 The only persons who had access to the warden's apartments were trusted cOnvicts who acted as household ser wants, by virtue of the honor system.
 On one of these honor convicts, Chicken Joe" Campbell, convicted of staying his employer who discharged him in Chicago five years ago and sentenced to serve an indeteminate sentence of from one year to life, the investigators centercd their attention.
 So far as was known, Campbell, chosen as Mrs. Aliens personal ser want by the warden several months before the crime, was the last person to have seen Mrs. Allen alive.
 Bits of a broken jug that had con taired wood alcohol were found in the wreck of the chaIred bed.
 At the time of the crime Warden Allen was in West Baden, ind Be- cause her dressmaker had failed to finish new dress, Mrs. Allen, who had expected to accompany her hus- band to West Baden, stayed in Joliet.

necessary product of conditions which
exist in society and that therefore society
has duty to perform in trying to re-
claim these unfortunates. 49,.
Great interest is being shown in these
directions all over the country. In

Temple is to help the man who is down
