APPLETO MAN HELD
IN ST. PAUL, REPORT
John HitChler Declared Confessed
Church Bomb ThrOwer.

John K. Hitchler is held by the po.
lice charged with throwing the bomt
which wrecked the parish house OF
st, Agnes Catholic church in ST. Paul
Mimi, recently. The police say
the man has confessed and said his
act was compelled by hatred for the
Catholic church. He is said to have
a wife and four children in Appleton
Wis. The St. Paul Dispatch said:
"Chief of Police Prim of Appleton
up to a late hour Wednesday night
had no official report from the ST
Paul police OF a charge against Hitch
Ter.
Records show he was born in Osh-
kosh forty-five years ago and has been
separated from his wife and family,
now residing in Appleton, for the last
four years.
He served one year in the Northern
hospital at Oshkosh-and several years
in hospital at Wausau, according to
information from Appleton.
A letter received by his wife about
Oct. "a is said to indicate mental de-
feet
He is a laborer."
Upon investigation in this city it was
found that Hitchler was sent to Wau-
sau about year ago. The second
day after his arrival, he dropped his
mackinaw from his room in the sec
ond story to the ground below. This
was a few moments before being
called for dinner. When he was called
he went to the lower floor; went into
a closet and jumped out of a window
and escaped. His father lived in Mer-
rill and he went there, and together
with his father and the district at
torney of Lincoln county, came to
Wausau, and seemingly, being sane,
and with the assurance that they
would take care of him and be re-
spOnsihle for his acts, he was allowed
to depart.

to speak Spanish.
Now, have received only one letter
from you since | left home. What
seems to be the trouble? 1 suppose
the mail got lost. Send me the Pilot

think of it. We have a nice place to
sleep and eat here, and | like it fine
so far. l am going to see Christopher
Columbus grave today; he is buried
here. We have it very easy here; one
concert week and one dance a week
to play for. We have rehearsal every
morning and have all afternoon and
evening off. They say this place is
something like Mexico City, so it
would look like home to you. 1t is

is happening to the telephone in
Washington. Last year was an unpre-
cedentedly busy year with 300 more
messages than in 1915, but the traffic
this year is reaching still higher levels
with increases of from I49o to $3.50
over the corresponding months last
year. We are handling twice as many
messages as in 1913.
Washington is the center of the
