Crosby committed to the state asylum

today the murder Of John Bell and
his wife in Red Oak, Iowa, in August,
1914. In response TO a telegram from
Sheriff r. A. Dunn. Of Montgomery
county, Iowa, the officials here are
holding Crosby.
Crosby, who is % years old, and
also known as Roy L. Clark. said
that because he felt" the elder Bells
believed he had been on too friendly
terms with their daughter, he con-
cluded TO kill the whole family. They
had made no accusations, he said,
but he could not stand feeling the
way he did. Finally one night he
shot Mr.. and Mrs. Bell and would
have killed the three daughters, but
their pleas touched his heart.
For their sakes', he said, he also
refrained from killing himself. help
ed them call the police and neighbora
and gave himself up. Lawyers ex-
pected him to plead guilty, but with
a saw smuggled into the Jail by q
visitor to another prisoner he ea-
capped after three months confne-
ment awaiting trial, and went to
IeNas. There he worked for farmers
in Sherman county, returning east 20
Illinois in the fall Of 1915. Later he
went to International Falls, Mimi.
where he married Mildred HiIlstrom.
Crosby next went to North Dakota
as a harvest hand, where he re-
mained until last month.
Then, while in Yellow Medicine
county, he feared detectives were
after him, told his wife OF the affair.
and through his actions was declared
insane and brought here.

Means That General Bliss

Washington. Feb. 2.-Major Gen

spare him from his present duties az
chief Of artillery of the expedition.
ary forces. No reply has been re-
ing. = 81
The selection of General March
means that Major General Bliss
chief Of stan, is to remain per
Ihanently In Europe as the Ameri-
can military representative at the
France. 49,
No official statement was avail
able as to the action contemplated
but If is expected that General
March will undertake his new duties
In the near future.
The permanent assignment of
General Bliss to the war council
may result in a request to congress
for authority to appoint an addi-
tional general. AS General March
will be in fact head OF the army. IL
is regarded as probable that he will
be given both the rank and title of
chief of staff later, General Bliss
being continued in similar rank
but relieved as chief of staff to
permit him to devote himself ex-
to his work abroad.
Young Man Needed.
The qualifications of General
March for duties have been highly
spoken Of by officers OF General
Pershing's staff. Secretary Baker is
known to have had under considera-
ton for some time the urgent neces-
stty OF putting a young and vigor-
BUS man at the head of the STAFF
to eo-ordinata all the military
branches Of the army. Several Of
the general officers have been dis
cussed for the post but the decision
10 name General March was reach
I'd only within the last few days.
Major General John Biddle, as
sistant chief of star and now act
ing chief. In the absence Of General
Bliss, will continue as an assistant

Of thrift will be one of them.

The main idea of Thrift Day is for every man.
