NEWTON UNDER GRILL
IN STIELOW INQUIRY

ALBION, N. Y, Dec. 26.-George w.
Newton, private detective of Buffalo,
whose work in the famous Stielow
murder case resulted in the convition
of Stielow, appeared today before the
grand jury and State Prosecutor Geo.
r. Bond, appointed by Gov Whitman
to investigate the guilt or innocence of
Erwin King, now charged with the
the crime.
He was on the stand the greater
part of the day, under a fire of ques-
tioning that frequently caused the de-
tective to reply in tones pitched high
enough to bear in the courthouse
corridor, Newton was grilled longer
than any four previous witness com
bined.
Should the grand jury indiet King
at this time, it is expected the meth
DDS used by Newton in obtaining the
conviction of Stielow and Green will
be thoroughly aired.
Attorney David A. White, who de-
feedpd Stielow during the trial in 1915
and caused his execution to be stayed
until the Humanitarian Cult and others
became interested in Stielow's fight
has spent much time in the courthouse
during the last few days. 1t is rumor-
ed he is expected to be an important
witness.

not come to a close before next Tues

FARMERS ADVISED TO
HOLD BACK THEIR HOGS

CHICAGO, Dec. 26.-A warning to
farmers not to ship hogs, but to hold
them back for the present in order to
avoid falling prices, was sent out to,
day by ]. c. Cotton, head of the Meat
Division of the Food Administration.
In a written statement he adds:
ION Nov. l stated that the prices
of hogs, so far as this division could
affect, would not fall below about
$15.l5 per hundredweight for the
average of the packers droves on the
Chicago market until further notice
That statement l make a gain.
THE packers inform me they are
doing their best to aid us in that
policy, but largely owing to trans
portation difficulties there is now a
glut of hogs on the Chicago market
and more hogs than the packers can
kill and handle
THE farmers and commission men
in this territory must help by holding
back hogs temporarily, especially
from the Chicago market. If there is
cooperation the minimum will be
maintained Do not sacrife your
hogs by dumping them on an over
Crowdede market"

GERMANY HAS BEEN PRE-
PAIRING FOR MANY YEARS

A Council Bluffs woman whose
parents and all of her brothers and
sisters were born in Germany. but
intensely anti Hohenzollern Ameri-
cans, has been reading some old let
tiers written by her sister who in
1904 was making her first visit to
the Fatherland, after leaving it as
a babe many years before. Some of
the near relatives are still living in
Germany. and for their protection
the Council Bluffs woman does not
dare permit her name to be used.
In the spring of 1904 the older sis
ter went to Germany and remained
there until the winter of 1905. Writ
| ing in the fall of 1904 she SAYS:
There is a great movement on in
Germany which no one seems to un-
derstand. The whole country is
preparing for something big, and
only the emperor and his advisors
know what it is. Everybody is com
manded to can and preserve food,
and thousands of government agents
are going through the country giving
instructions in preserving processes
which they say will keep food for
years"
Later in the summer of 1905 she
says in one of. her letters: Every
man, woman and child in Germany
is impressed with the tremendous
preparations being made for some
thing that no one seems to under
stand. There is a soldier on every
corner and all of the gun and am
munition plants are working to the
limit. / am told that Germany now
has 100000 trained, armed sol
diers, and that the number is to be
increased to 100000. Everybody
seems to be excited and whispering
about new and terrible war inven-
tions that they say could extermi-
nate whole nations. They have Ger
tainly solved the problem of con.
serving food. I ate for dinner to-
day food that was preserved fifteen
years ago and 1t was as fresh as II
it had just come from the garden
They are working out a formula now
that will keen many kinds of food
for thirty years. Adams County

GANG ARRIVES FOR
TELEPHONE WORK

A. r. Clark, construction foreman,
and R. Pierce, gang foreman for the
Mountain States Telephone Company
arrived in Cokeville Sunday morning
with gang of II men and will start
the erection of poles and construc-
ton of the telephone line between
here and Montpelier
Work on the local exchange is ex-
pected to start very soon and it is
probable the local system will be fin
ished about the same time or perhaps
a little later. 1t is believed that I'M
less something unforeseen happens we
will have both the long distance and
the local exchange in working order
before another winter sets in.
1t is hoped that the system will
be completed by the time the sheep
leave for the winter range as it will
prove great convenience to the
sheep men and enable them to keep
in closer touch with their sheep on
the winter range and also during
transit to the Omaha and Denver
markets.-Cokeville Register.

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. 15.-Uncon-

is LATE Young's answer to the pope's
peace proposal. Young, former Unit
ed States senator from Iowa, and
publisher of the Des Moines Capital,
speaking editorially but not in his
columns" told the Iowa knights of
Pythias convention that Pope Bene-
diets peace proposal should have Of
fered absolute surrender for the
Teutons.
In flaying the hyphen, Young told
the delegates that Iowa was no place
for the un-American.
The state of Iowa doesn't grow a
cow big enough to get hide large
and strong enough to make a shoe
great enough to kick a man far
enough if he isn't with the United
States for all he is and all he has. ;"
said Young. IF you don't want to
be an American, get back to your
