THREE WOMEN ARE HELD
IN vENEZio TAxIcAe MURDER
CASE At PUEBLO.
Slain Driver Reported to Have Aroused
Jealousy by Attention to One OF
the Suspects.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Pueblo. Colo.-Six arrests were
made by the police in the killing OF
Nicholas Venezio. a taaxicab driver.
here. Venezio was shot to death. pre-
sumably by one of two passengers In
his cab. just as he stopped the car
near the entrance to the Colorado
Fuel & Iron Company's Bessemer
plant.
Three Of the suspects held are
women. The prisoners gave their
names as May Manning. Elnora
Young. Sylvia Martin, George John,
Carlo Albrica and M. A. Jones.
The shooting, the police believe.
grew out of love affair between the
taxi driver and one of the women ar
rested. 1t Is said one Of the men sus-
poets was jealous of Venezio's atten-
tions to the woman.
A telephone message summoned
Venezio to Northern avenue, where
he picked up two fares. He presum-
ably had driven the passengers to
spot near the steel works fence,
when the shooting occurred. The po-
lice found footprints leading away
from the cab, and the driver dead In
his seat. when they arrived on the
scene. Four bullets took effect In
Venezio's body.

Writer Complains That Too Few Are
Properly Familiar With the Pages
Of the Bible.

Bible-quoting Is all the more effec-
live nowadays, rs an influence In lit
erature or oratOry-at kast when 1t Is
pat and clever-for the fact that fewer
people know the book than formerly. In
spite of the Sunday schools and the In
ternational Lessons, familiarity with
the Bible Is becoming rarer.
Boys and girls go to Sunday school
all through their childhood and some
how come out Of 1t unable to quote q
line from the Bible. And yet they are
sufficiently familiar with it to be able
to feel the force of a quotation or an
Illustration, and the rare individual
who knows his way through the pages
Of the book can easily catch their SYM
pathy.
Why should almost universal instruc-
ton in the Bible result in a genera
ton that does not know the book? Why
should rote lessons on Hamlet" and
1.-THE Tempest" make the same genera
ton hate Shakespeare? Why does
everything that is required" go in at
one ear and out at the other? Why
are the set words Of the wise as odious
goads, as nails fastened by the masters
of assemblies, while bread eaten In
