UNCLE SAM ASKS AID
OF THE LOCAL POLICE
Department Of Justice Wants
Chief to Keep Eye Out for
Ammunition Stores.
TO WATCH ALIEN MEETINGS

Chief of Police Dunn states he will
cooperate with the Department Of
Justice according to the requests EN-
bodied in the following letter re-
ceived from the attorney general of
the United States, T. w. Gregory:
"While the department appreciates
the fact that, in common with all
loyal American citizens, you and your
force are doubtless fully awake to
the possibility of efforts being made
in the event of war by agents of
foreign governments and other per-
sons unfriendly to the United States
to injure its interests, it feels 1t to
be its duty at this time to especially
direct your attention to these mat
tiers in order that no possible pre-
caution may be overlooked.
Among other things, the depart
ment believes that very careful in
vestigation should be made to ascer-
tain the location of any stores of
arms or ammunition in the hands of
or accessible to possible alien enc
mics or their sympathizers, to dis
cover and keep watch upon meet
ing places of bodies of men in SYM
pathy with enemies of this country;
that diligent efforts be made to see
that careful guard is kept over all
supplies of dynamite and other ex-
plosives; to keep careful check on
the sale and transportation of ex-
plosives; to see that every possible
precaution against incendiary fires is
taken; to see that especially per-
nicious agitators are restrained inso-
far as the law will permit, etc.
SIN connection with all of these
matters, the department requests your
continued cooperation with it or its
local representatives and will appre-
ciate your keeping it informed at all
times of matters of this character
which seem to be of importance"

WOMAN
COURTS DEATH
CEDAR RAPIDS RESIDENT USES
FOUR INSTRUMENTS TO
END LIFE.

Cedar Rapids, Sept. Predetermined
that death should come to her, Mrs.
William Augustine, 81, wife of a
wealthy farmer of the Cedar Point
neighborhood, used four sharp bladed
instruments on her body to end her life
last night.
A pocket knife, case knife, safety
razor blades and finally an old-fash.
Toned razor were the instruments EN-.
ployed. Mrs Augustine cut both great
veins in her legs, the main arteries in
her arms, slashed her throat at each
ear and finally severed the jugnlar
vein before fatal wound was inflict-
ed. She attempted the act in her bed
room, went below stairs where she
used another instrument of death and
finally crawled back upstairs, where
she completed the deed. The walls
and stairs of the house were spattered
with blood when the husband reached
home at night and Mrs. Augustine was
dead
Insanity is believed to have been the
cause. She left an incoherent note. A
husband and two children survive.
