TWO DIE IN MURDER MANIA
Wife and Daughter Are AsphyXlated
Hinder HaiIucinatiOn.

Under haIluclndtiOH-
Allentown, Pa, April 19.-The To-
cal police have instituted rigid IN
yestigation into a double tragedy
which was revealed yesterday even
ing, when the bodies of Mts. Oliver
Peters, So, and her 10 year old daugh-
ter, Norma, were found dead at tnell
home ON the outskirts of the city.
Peters is laborer, and when he
left home this morning for the Beth
lehem Steel plant his wife was ap-
parently happy, and the daughter
the only other member of the family
preparing to 60 to school.
Yesterday evening, when he re-
turned home, he found the doors lock-
ed; but he forced his way in, and de-
tecting the odor of gas, he found the
bodies of his wife and daughter in
bed. They had been asphyxiated, the
gas being turned on full force.
On "a table near by was a note
generating the husband, and stating
that inasmuch as someone would
murder the family, she might as well
die now"
Mrs. Peters has been in ill-healtf
some time, and is believed to have
been suffering from mania that she
would be murdered.

FEDERAL LOANS AND TICKS.

Not only do farmers get less money for
meat skins and milk in tick-infested terri
tory, they also are able to borrow less
money on their land Before condemning
ctr bankers too severely for shying at cat
tie loans, we should remember that tick
ridden liabilities are risky proposition.
Not only is the death rate high, but there
is no Improvement. Ticky cattle don't
thrive; ticky farms don't produce; ticky
farmers don't take up mortgages.
'',The man or community which harbors
cattle fever ticks says Vice-President
Guion, of the Federal Land Bank at Col
umbia, S. c., the source Of land loans for
Florida will have hard time borrowing
any money from our federal land bank for
the purpose of investing in any kind of cat
tie, either tick-infested ones or those free
of ticks.
Mr. Guoin goes on to tell why he con-
Siders such loans unsafe. If the stock is
tick-infested, it cannot make the proper
growth If it is new cattle brought into
the territory, it is liable to the infection
and death in three weeks time
On the other hand "any member of a
local farm loan association" says Mr.
Cuoin, in whose territory the ticks have
teen eradicated, can easily get the sapc-
ton Of the federal land bank directors te
use such money as is necessary to buy bet
ter cattle
But though the federal bank will take nc
chances on loans for cattle in tick
smothered territory, Mr.. Guoin says il
won't be hard to "get the money necessary
for building dipping vat.

FRIGHTFULNESS TURNED ON
ITSELF

Over efficiency in one direction means
under development in another. For in
stance, dogs that are sharp on scent are
short of sight A man whose artistic sense
is highly developed has little conception of
business. And the Germans, past masters
at wreaking frightfulness, go all to pieces
under their own atrociousness.
Note the torpedoing Of our allies hospi-
tai ship, Lanfranc, without warning-one
OF the tavorlte pastimes of an insane Prus-
slanism. She was crowded with wounded,
among them many Germans, and the
moment the torpedo struck, the Prussians,
who, no doubt had wrought similar deeds,
or deeds equally unspeakable-madea mad
rush for the lifeboats. Ordered to await
their turn, they showed abject cowardice-
dropping to their knees and imploring pity
of the crew.
The crew and staff-but let the official
report speak:
''The and STAFF went to their posts The
stretcher cases o
while in response to distress calls, vessels
nurrylng to our assistance Even while wounded and
helpless Tommies lay unaided in their cots the
ardly prisoners attempt managed
TO crowd into life boat which, however toppled over
directly as it was lowered Then they fought with
each other to reach another boat containing some
gravely wounded
But maybe it is unfair to compare whole
men with wounded men-men whose suf-
ferings may be expected to have under
mined their nerves How did the wound
ed British bear up?
Let the same report answer:
