NEGRO UX0RIClDE
 INSANE: AND MAY
 ESCAPE 1hf CHAIR
Robert Earle of Desh Coun- ty, Will Be Examined
 by Commission.

Little Rock, Oct. 11.-Insanity ln- duced by fear of death may rob the electric chair at the state penitentiary Of man scheduled to be it's fourteenth victim. Robert Earle, Desha coun ty negro, sentenced to be electrocuted at 7 o'clock Friday morning, appar- ently has lost his sanity, and Capt. John T. Burkett, secretary of the com- mission, today summoned physicians at the two state convict farms to Lit tie Rock to conduct an examination.
 Prison officials were undetermined whether Earle was feigning insanity. If the penitentiary physicians give credence to the belief that Earle is in sane, Captain Burket said he would ask Acting Governor Moncrief for a 10-day stay of execution to enable more thorough examination. If the physicians are convinced that Earle is shamming, he will be electrocuted at ' o'clock Friday morning.
 Earle killed his wife, shooting her through a door at their home in De- sha county. No appeal was made to Governor Brough to commune the sentence, and recently the governor said he would not interfere with the execution. However, should it be de- termined that the negro is insane, his sentence probably will be commuted and he will be transferred to the state hospital for nervous diseases.

 WRITTEN REPLY

 The committee also received the stenographic versions of his address from the Minnesota public safety commission, varying in no important particular with the one submitted by Senator LaFollette.
 Tomorrow the committee will meet to determine future action and prob ably will temporarily halt the inquiry for weighty statement from MT. Bryan who already has denied pub- licly that he knew the Lusitania car riad ammunitions.

 of Judge Brown.

Philadelphia, Oct. 11.-Mayor D. Smith today was held under S1O.O0C bail by Judge Brown in the municipal court to await the action of the grand jury on serious charges growing out Of the murder by imported gunmen of a policeman in the Fifth ward here on primary election day.

Associated Press Summary.) )

Comparatively little fighting activ- ity is in progress on any of the battle grounds, except in the nature of re- curing bombardment. In Flanders Thursday both the British and French troops held to their trenches neither as saying attack or to sustain outer offensives against new positions they hold as a result of the drive Tuesday.
 Big guns on both sides. however, are shelling; those of the allies in a work of destruction, and those of the Germans in the nature of disturb CTS of the peace of the allies in their new trenches.
 It will probably be several days be- fore the British and French jointly unleash their men for another raid against the Teutons.
 Wednesday night the French repu1s- cd a heavy counter attack at Draei- bank, the Germans during this time let the British severely alone with in- fantry, but hurled masses of lead into their lines with their Tasschendaele. Along the southern front in France, the Germans again have met with de- feat in attempts to capture Frencn positions on the east bank of the Mouse on the Verdun sector. The attacks, however, were not made in force, being more in the nature of trench operations.
 The prospects, of a return of heavy fighting in Armenia with Russia ag- gressive, seems good. On the Ruman- ian front the Russians heavily bOm- barded the positions of the Germans but the Germans in reprisal shelled the important Danubian town of Ga latz. their shells causing several fires.
 On the northern sector of the east ern front, near Aiga, the Germans, after heavy bonn bardment. pushed back the Russians in the vicinity of PskOff Pynre.
 There have been no further devel- opments of mutiny on German ships at Wilhelmshaven. Emperor William. during the political turmoil that had been created by the revelations of disaffection in the navy, is visiting King Ferdinand of Bulgaria at Sofia.

This campaign is one of several features cnaracteriz- ing the food situation in Greater New York. Retail merchants, hotels, and restaurants are cooperating in food conservation, and distributors as sociation has been formed.
 The practical features of economy and conservation expected to result from the various activities are two wheatlCss days, two meatless days
 and one fireless day. In the house-to- house canvass each housewife is to be asked to sign a pledge card agreeing to obey the rules of the food admin istration. The campaign is to be con ducted entirely by volunteers.
 In cooperation with this campaign more than 300 retail merchants have unanimously agreed to give part of their advertising space and store and show window room for the propaga- ton of the national food administrat- or's campaign for food saving.
 The food administration has asked the retail merchants to bring clearly before the consumers the great bene- fit that will be rendered to the gov ernment by wise and sensible econ omy in the use and disposal of foods. It urges the retail merchants to or ganize into a great patriotic corps. w int hn co nf their country and of humanity and speak on the value and importance of conserving the nations food supply in order that American men and wOm- en and their allies may fight with strength and valOr the battle of de- mocracy.
 In line with this request from the food administrator the New York Food Distributors association has been formed, composed of authorized representatives of 27 business and trade organizations engaged in the sale and distribution of food commod- ities in the state and city of New York. The association seeHs, it is stated, to concentrate action on all matters relating to the production, transportation, distribution and sale of such commodities with view of promoting the general welfare not only of it's members but of produc- CTS and consumers as we'll
 The associations aims further, it is said. to unite it's efforts with grow CTS, shippers and consumers: to col lect such information as may be deem ed helpful in handling food commodi- ties; to study and put into practice improved methods of distribution; to cooperate with and assist such off cials as may be apointed to adminis- ter the food problem of the country; to assist in framing and in carrying out necessary legislation in such manner that it will actually accom- plish such changes as appear advis- able; and to cooperate with other agencies having similar objects.

WAR BETWEEN MAYORS OFFICE
AND PUBLIC WELFARE HEAD


Open hostilities exist between the
mayors office and that of the com'r
of public welfare, it is reported from
City Hall today.
The cOm'r of public welfare, Mrs.
Louise Osborne Rowe, seems about
to step out Of her nice fat job, for
council has already cut off her sal
ary, and it is said the mayor has de-
CHned to inteTcede in her behalf. This
is the reason, so the story goes:
Marks & Co., 848 w. Madison, had
a dicker on with the city to sell a lot
at Randolph and Morgan SITS. as a
site for a municipal lodging house. It
was a $4,000 deal. Word came to
Marks & Co. that it would be well for
it to see Jacob H Osborne, loan
agent in the Fort Dearborn bldg.
They did.
Jacob H. Osborne is the father of
Mrs. Rowe, and Louis Marks told the
mayor of the part he appeared to be
playing in the deal So it is said, its
all off, between Big Bill and Louise.

Don't let valuable surplus fruits
and vegetables go to waste. Adults
and children in very few hours,
with little other home equipment than
q wash boiler and cans and jars, can
preserve much valuable perishable
food for next winters use. Succulent
vegetables. and fruits are important to
health the year round. See that your
table Is supplied.
The simple one-period cold-pack
method described is that taught by
the U. s. Department of Agriculture
for the boys and girls of the canning
clubs in the Northern and Western
States. With this method thousands
of boys and girls each season put up
vast quantities of fruits and vegeta-
bles. With this method practically
every vegetable and fruit grown in
this section can be canned.
The wash boiler method described
below Is entirely effective. Those
who desire may purchase home-size
water-seal, steam pressure or pres
sure cooker canning outfits which
save time and fuel.
Preliminary Preparation for Canning
Provide a false bottom of wooden
lattice work, cross pieces of wood,
or coarse wire netting for your clean
wash boiler or other large, deep yes
sci to be used for sterilizing.
Fill the vessel with clean water SO
that the boiling water will cover the
tops of the jars or cans. Begin heat
ing the water so that 1t will be boiling
