was delivered by E. S. Clark of

present from all the towns along
the Santa Fe line from Holbrook

OF Flagstaff is agin the law and

covered the other day, when he

the people had only been awake

PARIS. June 19-The throngs which
invariably haunts the Rue Constantin
in front of the spot where a great
American flag marks the headquarters
Of Major General Pershing, got new
thrill today ana a new chance to
cheer the American commander.
Marshal Joffre, who had been con-
ferring with Pershing for more than
an hour, emerged from the building.
There was an immediate craning OF
;nec.ss. Behind papa" Joffre the
crowd discerned the tall, erect figure
OF General Pershing. The two idols
of Paris walked together to the curb
where Joffre's automobile waited. And
there Pershing swept aside the crowd
and himself opened the automobile
door for his distinguished visitor The
two saluted formally, smiled informal
ly and Joffre speeded away. Cheers
greeted the incident and the crowd
talked excitedly long afterwards over
Pershing's democracy and his courtesy
to the elder soldier.
The American general is now work
ing on a dawn-to-dusk schedule Of Of
fee hours. Scores Of conferences are
scheduled daily and between these
Pershing approves reports of his sub
ordinate STAFF officers, consults with
them and personally familiariZes him
self with every detail Of the arrange
ments for disposition Of the army he
will command when it shall arrive in
France.

Keep on Laughing.

Kansas City Times: 1t has been
suggested in this country that the
press and platform confine themselves
to serious things; that anything with
a smile in it be banished as not in
keeping with the carnage and priva-
ton of war 1t is pointed out that
Paderewski has ceased to play his be-
loved instrument because of the suf-
fering and despair in his native Po-
land. Harry Lauder, whose son, serv-
ing in a Scotch regiment, gave his life
for Britain, has stopped making peo-
pie laugh and now is preaching 70

One day when Lincoln's cabinet met
the president asked one Of the mem
bers If he had read Nasby's latest.
Mr.. Stanton-austere, stern, dignihed
took the president to task, saying
he ought to be thinking Of sterner
things Mr. Lincoln replied:
Stanton. think have the burdens
of this nation on my heart. but laugh.
ter is my safety valve. l am sure that
if l couldn't laugh sometimes I'd
bust"
If laughter (Which is so closely
akin to tears) will better fit us to
bear our load, then we cannot do with
out laughter. Sometimes a tightly
wound spring snaps. That could be
avoided by loosening the tension of
the human system. 1t is needed es-
pecially now.

MURDER MYSTERY
BEING SOLVED
Arrest Made In Case Of University
Student Whose Burned
Body was Found.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., June 10.
County authorities this afternoon
claimed to have cleared up the baff-
ling murder mystery Of how John V.
Piper met his death, in the arrest
at Chattanooga, Tenn, today of DR..
VIM. j. Condor, a captain OF the
United States army medical corps.
Condor, formerly resident Of New
Brunswick, is socially prominent here
and the news Of the charge of MUIR
der against him created sensation.
Piper was University Of Vermont
graduate and a student at Rutgers
Saturday his body half incinerated,
but still recognizable, was discovered
near road by gang of workmen.
Piper, who lived in a suburb. was
working his way through college by
tending furnaces and doing odd jobs
for prominent New Brunswick fami-
lies. Among the families for whom
he worked was that of DR.. Condor.
The physician was in active practice
and was well esteemed here. The
last home at which Piper was seen
to call on the night of February IT
was Condon's.
When the body was discovered
Saturday, physicians found hole in
the breast made by a bullet OF
the same caliber as that carried By
a weapon found on the SpotswooI-
Tnslishtown road earlier in the day
The badly decomposed remains had
apparently been tossed from wagon
or an automobile In the bushes.
Piper's disappearance had babe
fair to become an unsolyable mystery
up to the time the body was found.
Pipers wife always maintained that
her husband had been murdered. al
though for time his friends thought
the young mans mind had become
deranged from overstudy and over
work.
Captain Condor is about thirty
eight years of age. His home life
was entirely happy. County officials
refused today to explain the reasons
why they believe he committed the
crime or the theory of the motive
for the murder.
Captain Condor left New Bruins
wick last Thursday enroute for Fort
Oglethorpe, Ga. Dispatches received
today said he was being held by the
military authorities at Chattanooga
pending arrival of a representative OF
the state Of New Jersey. Prosecutor
Strickle this afternoon asserted
authorities were now In complete
possession Of evidence showing how
piper was killed, including how his
body was disposed Of and who drove
the automobile from which the stu
dents body was thrown.

wheat lost more than the futures in

outcome Of the food bills now before

influence.

AEROPLANE BILL
FOR NEXT WEEK
Asks Six Hundred Million Dollars to
Build 10000 Machines
and to Man
Them

limited Press Leased Wire Service.
WASHINGTON, June 19.-The first
war aeroplane bill, carrying an a2-
preparation of $500. 100000 Is nearing
completion and will be introduced In
congress probably Friday. 1t will
carry an urgent recommendation from
the secretary Of war for prompt and
favorable action.
Meantime congress wants to know
exactly how $600.00O,0O0 can be put
into air craft when aeroplane con-
Germs heretofore have not been able
to deliver 100 machines year to the
war department.
The plan of the new bill calls for
production of 10000 new machines
for the first year. over 1000 month
within few months.
Aware of these mutterings by con-
gress the administration will render
a detailed statement as to contemplate
ed expenditures. This will show:
Millions for aeroplane engines, hun
dreds of thousands for wings and the
like; tens of thousands for equipment
and training Of aviators, and yet more
thousands for supplies.
This statement is being prepared
under the joint direction Of the sig
nal CORPS, war ana navy departments
and the air craft production COM
mittee Of the council of national de-
Tense. 1t will explain that auto
plants will tender forty per cent of
their producing equipment to manu-
featuring aircraft engines at reason
able profit.
Other factories will be utilized by
the government to produce planes,
etc. The statement will suggest that
congress choose between government
operation of the few real aeroplane
factories of the country or granting
contracts for machines with these
paints, allowing unusually high profits
SO that the plants may properly equip
themselves to expedite the enormous
work demanded of them. The ques.
ton OF reasonable profit probably
will be the biggest bone OF conten-
tention on the bill. The statement
will further explain expenses fo.'
maintaining training camps, schools
for mechanical education and the
like.
Aviators are now being turned out
Of these schools ready for practical
training at the rate of about two hun
dred week, but this is not sufficient
and call for volunteers is under
consideration. There will be twenty
training camps.
