Liberty Bonds Preferred Stock

Likening the United States to a
great corporation with more than a
hundred million stock holders and
with capital stock and resources OF
more than Two hundred fifty billions
of dollars, and an annual income of
fifty billions of dollars, each Ameri-
can citizen is a stock holder in this
great corporation. Even those whose
only assets are their earning capacity
own shares in our public domain and
property and are working on profit
sharing basis with a vote and a voice
in the mana cement of the corpora
tion and with the right to acquire
more stock at any time.
A Liberty Loan Bond may be lik-
ened to share of preferred stock III
this gigantic corporation. Like pre-
ferred stock in other corporations, it
may not return, at times, so large a
dividend as common stock, but the
dividend from it is certain and sure.
1t is stock that pays 3 u per cent.

The owner of Liberty Loan Bond
holds written tangible evidence of
being a preferred stock holder in the
United States, the greatest, the most

being a citizen willing to support his
government and to lend money to
his country when it needs it and
calls for it.

the crime after being grilled throu-
ghout the morning by Marshal Car
ter, Deputy Marshal House and the
detectives.
SnoWden. who was arrested late
last night in Annapolis, was tremb-
ling and ashy pale when taken be
fore Marshal Carter for few NC
ments before being locked up at the
Central Police Station for the night.
Two significant features which de
veloped today strengthen the feeling
OF the authorities that the death of
Mrs. Brandon was caused by q negro.
The first is the report which reached
them OF Il negro boy who is employ
ed by a groceryman in Annapolis. who
is said to have told OF seeing a man
whom he thought to be negro in
the Brandon home about II O'Clock
on the morning that Mrs. Brandon
was found dead. The boy was de
livering flour in the neighborhood at
the time.
The,other instance which may add
another turn-that of ngeance-to
the case was the theory advanced by
John H. Redmond. 1903 MoreIand
avenue, brother-in-laW of Mrs. Bran
don, who came to Police Headquar-
ters this morning to see Marshal Car
ter NIr Redmond stated that while
living in Washington Mrs. Brandon
had caused the arrest of several ne
gro men who had been lettering
about her home, and he was of the
opinion that Snowden might be one
of them. Out OF revenge because OF
the arrest, Mr.. Redmond thought
that possibly some negro might have
committed the deed.
Snowden's actions on the day OF
the murder were the subject of the
cross examination by Marshal Carter
and Deputy Marshal House Time
and time again they fired questions
at him hoping to trap him in his
statements, but, according to Mar
shall Carter, during one of the short
recesses, in which the negro was left
alone in his office under guard,
Snowden has not yet broken down.
He shows the effects of the ordeal
to which he was being subjected. He
was nervous and appeared to be on
the verge of collapse
After questioning Snowden for
short time Detectives Dougherty,
Kratz and Pohler left for Annapolis
to run out some of the struggling
clues which they think will fasten
the net Of evidence about the negro.
Somewhat composed after a rather
titful night in his cell. Snowden was
taken from the police station shortly
after s O'Clock this morning to the
Bertillion Bureau, where he was pho
tographed and his "measurements"
taken. The negro is about feet 10
inches tall, of dark, ginger-cake
color and appears to be OF a rather
low grade of intelligence, judging
by his looks. He is of powerful
build.
Snowden was confronted with all
the facts which caused his arrest
the statements of three negresses OF
good reputation who claim that they
saw him come from the Brandon
home on the morning Mrs Brandon
was found dead, but he steadfastly
denied his guilt. In a statement yes
terday however, he admitted, ac-
cording to the detectives, to being in
the nsighborhood of the Brandon
home about the time she is supposed
to have been murdered.

SIX CAMPS ESTABLISHED ALONG
 LINE IN TALKETNA DISTRICT

different camps for use of the gangs now at work, and some of the sup plies for the section between stations 974S and 9S25 have been placed, in anticipation of the seasons activity at those points. Because of deep snow and the poor condition of trails much of the hauling was done by dog team, especially between Camp 245 and the engineers camp at Mile 255. The hauling of the bridge engineers par ty at the bridge site at Susitna river crossing was also done by dog team, as it was practically impossible to use horses on that work.
 The telephone line in the Talkeet- ma district has been extended to Mile 255. A wire has also been hung across the Susitna river at the crossing. This has not been connected with the main wire as yet, it having been deemed advisable to stretch the line across the river, while the stream was still frozen over. Later in the spring, when the through wire reaches this point the connection will be made.
 There are at the date of this report three residences organized within the district. By May 1 it is planned to have two additional organizations completed, and upon the opening of navigation a third residency. This will make a total of six residences to care for the engineering work between Sheep creek and the Susitna river crossing.
 On April 21, the total force employ ed in the district was 27O, classified as follows: Stationmen 10S, laborers 97, mess house help l5, corral and teamsters IA, engineering 24, admin istration 12.

Camps are established ih the Tal- keetna district as follows:
 Camp POT, Montana creek, which has been operated during the winter as cache, has been enlarged. Two station gangs and one bling contrac- tor are directed from this camp.
 Camp 22I, just below Talkeetna' is used principally as base for station gangs. An engineering party, time keeper and mess house force are lo- cated at this point. A commission gang of six or seven men is at work snootng the bluff above the crib.
 At Talkeetna the mess house has been reopened to accommodate the freighting outfits and the large num- Der of transient commission employees passing up and down the line. No mess house was operated at this canlp during the winter. A large barn is available at this point for stabling freight teams.
 At Dead Horse hill a camp was cS- tablished during the month to handle the work in that vicinity. This camp. known as Camp PAP, at present con- sists of three tents for the engneer- ing party, three bunk tents, a meos and office tent. Two gangs are work ing out of this place.
 Camp 245, just above Dead Horse hill, has been selected as headquarters for next seasons work in the Talkeet- na district. Fifteen office and other commission buildings and five dwell lings were erected during the past fall and winter. It is planned to build two or three more buildings for of- flee purposes, and possibly three m'"e dwellings, social hall and two bunk houses. With the exception of one dwelling, cottonwood lumber, cut by the local saw mill, was usei. approx imately SOO,OOO feet b. m. When the logs now on the skidway and yarded in the woods are sawed there will be available for proposed construction purposes about SO,OOO feet of lumber.
