Of His Alleged Victim Are Exnumed
to Learn Cause Of Death.

Muskegon, Mich, Dec. 20.-Frieda

She was murdered by blows on the
head administered by dull weapon.
This was the verdict Of three physi-
clans who examined the body here

Harry w. Jackson ordered 1t exhumed.
While the body was being taken
from its wicker casket. where it had
lain since May, 1917, Milo H. Piper, sus-
pected bigamist-murderer, was nervous
ly pacing his cell. He has been accused
of the crime that brought such a tragic
ending to the romance Of the former
Chicago tennis player.
The verdict of murder, in the opinion
of the authorities, is the most Inn
portant link in their chain of evidence.
This was the first autopsy of the body.
1t is believed the crime was COM
mitted in September, 1916. The body
was not found until May Of the follow
ing year. Identification was made sew
eral weeks ago by Mrs. F. w. Klinke

MAY SINK HUN NAVY
U. S. AND GREAT BRITAIN AGREE
TO END PERIL.
Action Would Result In Avoiding Con-
tention and Support the Presi-
dents Declaration.

Paris, Dec. 2O.-The American del
egates to the peace congress have re-
solved to advocate the sinking of the
surrendered enemy warships and resist
any proposition to distribute them on
the basis of naval losses.
This announcement is made by those
in close touch with the American rep
resentatives, who, it is added, feel that
such a position would result in avoid
ing contention and materially support
President Wilson's declaration that the
war was not based on aggression or
the acquisition of property.
England, through Sir Eric Geddes,
first lord Of the admiralty. had pre-
viously acquiesced in the American
plan to destroy the captured or sur
rendered warships, and, it is declared.
will continue to support the United
States, although it is expected that
some of the lesser naval powers will
demand that the prizes be distributed.
Washington, Dec. 20.-A resolution
asking the stEte department to inform
the senate whether the American
peace commissioners are advocating
destruction Of German warships or
other enemy property, and, If so. by
what authority, was introduced by Mi
nority Leader Lodge, and, without dis
cuSsiOn, was left on the table.

HUNS MUST PAY U. S.
DEMAND IN SENATE FOR A FL
NANcIAL RECKONING.
Chairman Of the Finance Committee
Simmons Urges Action to
Tighten Taxation.

Washington, Dec. Is Germany
should be compelled to, pay, so far as
possible, the cost of the war to the
United States, Senator Simmons of
North Carolina, chairman of the
finance committee, declared on the
floor Of the senate.
In the opinion Of the senator the
American bill Of costs presented to Ger
many should include not only repara-
ton for the killing Of noncombatants
and destruction of ships but the ex-
pense to the United States Of the con-
duct of the war, reimbursement for,
which, if only in part, would go far
toward tightening the future burden
of taxation borne by, the American
people,
While Senator Penrose, in an adj
dress on the revenue bill, was discuss
ing estimated expenditures for 1919
and 1920, Senator Simmons interrupt
ed to suggest that while the govern
ment, among other things, would have
heavy damages to pay for war con-
tracts, still there would be a consid-
cradle salvage on work already done
that would bring in an appreciable re-
turn.
Besides that, Senator Simmons said.
there was to be reckoned $4,000, O0O,-'
600 Of money advanced to the allies,
which would make ''the best possible
security and be an asset to this gov
eminent" Those bonds are markets
able, Senator Simmons said, and could
be utilized toward relieving the peo-
pie of taxation.
More than that, ! want to say that
don't believe the people Of this
country will consent to the central
powers escaping without properly re-
imbursing this country for the great
losses that have been inflicted upon It
by the methods they have pursued in
this war" Senator Simmons said.

Breeding stock for Europe

1t is quite generally understood that
at the close of the war we will be
called upon to replace the depleted
dairy herds of Europe. According to
recent reports the supply of milk a1d
its products in Great Britain and
France is only two-fifths normal, while
for many months we have been receiv-
ing reports of excessive slaughter of
dairy animals for food purposes This
growing scarcity of dairy animals is
not confined to Great Britain and
France. but undoubtedly is gene al
throughout Europe. Every contry must
realize that necessity of milk supply
and will try and retain a minimum
number of milk cows on the farms.
However, under urgent demands for
food every surplus animal will be
slaughtered and in many instances
whole herds will go to the butcher
We have no definite ideal as to just
how much breeding stock We shall oe
called upon to furnish and at what
prices, yet a casual survey OF condi-
tons would indicate that the demand
viii be large and the price good.
Reports are received that buyers Al e
already arriving with orders for dairy
cattle for Western Europe. European
buyers will want our best, or in other
words, only animals that have proven
their worth as shown by careful pro-
duction records. They will want orly
well developed animals. and so il be-
hooves every dairyman to feed. de-
velop and care for his stock so that
when the time arrives he viii be able
to compete successfully in the sale of
stock to Eurpoean buyers.-Week,y

live stock interests will be in position

Tompkins office and Mr. Bcsee, the
local representative is desired of the
live stock growers. Every effort is
needed on the part of the farmers and
stockmen to keep up the meat supply,
and in order that this can be done
some adjustments of the prevailing
system are needed. Mr. Tompkins will
do all in his power to make the live
stock industry more safe. While every
business man is anxious to make
profit, that feature must be put in
second place when our men need food
stuffs and everyone is directly or in
directly responsible for their existence
it is our first duty TO see that their
food is produced. II is unfair to the
producer to lose and every effort will
be put forth TO make the producer

WHAT BECOMES OF THE STENo.
eRAPHERS AND BOOKKEEPERS?

Thousands graduate each year-yes
and thousands of men and women re-
tire from business each year. Girls get
married, young men are promoted TO
go into business for themselves BRIGHT
Intelligent, ambitious people move into
the better positions and new recruits
are needed TO fill up the gaps in the
ranks.
At present the war is drawing on
thousands and thousands of clerical
men and the natural condition is that
that there is more good positions VA
cant than there are competent people
to fill
Hoel's Business College of Grand
junction is equipped to fill up these
ranks as rapidly as they can get the
material and they are urging all avail
able men and women to enroll and
qualify as rapidly as possible.
