Adjoining Towns Should Cooperate
No growing town can afford to stop
planning at its corporate limits, for
just outside those limits streets are
being laid out and buildings erected
contrary to the city's interest. A lit.
tie cooperative planning now would
save the spending Of vast sums OF
money later to correct the troubles.
All the more is this true where two
or more towns are close together. The
mutual planning Of the intervening
area is of great Importance to each
town. Where they touch each other
1t is sheer stupidity for them not tc
get together in planning the areas near
their common boundaries.

Mrs. Freeman's Death

The death of Mrs. W. B. Freeman
on September 28th was a decided
shock to her many friends in this
community. Mrs. Freeman was Miss
Margaret Ellen Greer and was born
in Galloway county Nov. Is, 1860.
When quite young she came with her
parents to reside in this city where
she grew to womanhood. She was
married to W. B. Freeman Sept. s,
1884, and to this union were born
five children. Two of them died in
infancy. The other three are Clay
Freeman, of this city; Misses Emma
and Ida Lee Freeman, who reside with
their father, seven miles south Of
Mexico. She leaves also to mourn
her loss two sisters, Miss Emma
Greer and Mrs. Everett Edwards, both
of Columbia, and Charles Greer, of
Fort Worth, Texas. In early life
she became a Christian and lived con-
sistently the life she professed. She
was generous and kind, giving her.
self unstintedly to those who needed
her health. She was called far and
near in cases of sickness so well could
she minister to the suffering. She
laid her very life on the altar of hel
family, never being too tired to CONF
to their aid. She will be greatly miss.
ed by her family, her friends, he.
neighbors and her church. The
Rev. J. D. Greer conducted a briei
funeral service over the remains OF
Mrs. Freeman after which she was
laid to rest in Elmwood Cemetery

sympathy to the bereaved.

SENATOR STONE
SAYS HE'S "MAD
CLEAR THROUGH
Nothing of Pacifist When Reading
of Petition for His Expulsion
From u. S. Senate
(St. Louis Republic)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. a.
There was nothing of the pacifist
about Senator Stone of Missouri when
he read in the morning papers that
his name had been linked with Sena-
tor La Toilette Of Wisconsin in petit
tions proposing expulsion, filed in the
Senate yesterday.
Having been busy for several days
in the Committee on Finance, Of which
he is the ranking member, considering
the war insurance bill, the Senator was
not aware Of the petitions until they
were called to his attention He was
mad clear through. He was reluct-
ant to believe that such petitions
would have been offered by Vice-Pres-
ident Marshall and Senator Wards
worth, of New York.
Inquiry by the Senator disclosed
that the petitions filed by the Vice.
President had not confined his name,
but that those offered by the New
York Senator did. Vice President
Marshall presented only petitions re-
flecting upon Senator La Toilette.
Senator Stone tried to locate the Pc
| titions yesterday and finally traced
them to the Committee on Privileges
and Elections, which is expected to
consider them today.
The Missouri Senator said he would
examine them in the morning before
the Senate meets. He did not indicate
what action he would take.
The connection of his name with any
disloyal utterance, said Senator Stone
was due to misleading reports of HI:
stand on war measures. He referred
to his recent speech defining his posi-.
ton in which he pointed out that
while he had opposed the war resolu.
ton, he had voted consistently since
for every war bill.
"And | shall continue to vote blinc
for every measure that will aid L
bringing success to American arms,
said the Senator. 'My votes are or
record and only those who are mis-.
informed would have accused me Of
obstructing war legislation. an
surprised that any Senator should
have had so little regard for the pro
prieties as to Introduce a petition
falsely reflecting upon another Sena
tor. / resent such action. ge

SENATE ASKED TO EX.
. pei STONE AND OTHERS
(St. Louis Republicl

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 2. -
Petitions from New York organiza-
tions asking expulsion from the SEN
ate of Senators La Toilette of Wis
consin, and Gronna, of North Da-
kota, and Stone, Of Missouri, were
presented in the Senate Monday by
Senator Wadsworth, Of Ncw York,
and referred without action to the
Senate Privileges and Elections COM
mittee.
Vice-P President Marshall also pre-
sented another lot of petitions, let
ters and kilograms from various Or
ganizations and individuals on the
same general aabiec. Included were
printed circular petitions indicating
that many such are being circulated
and probably will reach the Senate in
great numbers. In reply to one cor
respondent, Vice-President Marshall
pointed out that while the Senate may
expel a member, the iniatitive must
come from a Senator and cannot be
forced by an individual or organiza-
ton.
The first step toward official con-
sideration of the petition was taken
yesterday when Senator Pomerene,
of Ohio, chairman of the Privileges
and Elections Committee, called a
/ meeting for next Wednesday. 1t
was decided to have the committee
/ discuss course of action. The pres
ent attitude of Senate leaders was
said to be in favor of tabling the pc
titions in the committee.

GERMAN PRISON
CAMPS TORTURE
HOLES FOR men
Prisoners Suffer Fearful Experiences
Under Teutonic Slave Conditions
Great Brutality

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. - An
other chapter is added to the story Of
the tortures of German prison camps
by a Russian soldier who escaped by
tunneling with knife under the cleo
trically-charged fence along the Ant.
werp-Rosendaal line. 1t has been
forwarded to the State Department
from Petrograd.
Brutral treatment and poor and in
sufficient food have cost Germany
the labor of thousands of prisoners
he says. One labor battalion on the
Western front, consisting Of 2,O0C
men, has been reduced by starvation
exposure, beating and death to $50
The daily rations for prisoner, HI
reported, consisted of small amour
of bread and turnip soup, the soup ell
riched occasionally by bit of hors
meat.
The unfit, the wounded and thos
who have lost members of their body
were kept in invalid camps until the,
died, but never, he says, returned t.
camps in Germany, because the Off
GERS in command feared the psycholo
gical effect upon the people of tn
sight of the MANNED men, Otter littl
more than animated skeletons.
Stern and implacable methods wer
used to compel prisoners to work
Ingenious tortures that ended onl
short of death were inflicted on som
while others were shot outright.
Punishments varied from enforce
standing at attention for day with
out food, to beatings with rifle butt'
and to hours of suspension in the ali
with ropes being tied to wrists Will
prisoners hands were held behind thei
bodies, the result being to throw tn
weight on the unnaturally twiste
muscles of arms and shoulders.
