PRIEST SLAYER

OF CARY CHIEF
Self : Confessed Slayer Of
Rev. Kayser Goes to West
For Trial.

Chief of Police Rambo, of Gary,
Ind, arrived in Bridgeport today and
will return to the Hoosier city to-
morrow morning with Mike Schramm,
the confessed murderer of the Rev.
Father kayser in the steel mill town
nearly three years ago.
Chief Rambo was loud in his praise
of the excellent work accomplished
by Captain Edward o. Cronan an
clearing up the mystery surrounding
the killing of the priest and comph-
mented the entire staff of the local
detective bureau for their efficient
work in capturing one of the two
bandits responsible for the crime.
Chief Rambo is thoroughly familiar
with not alone the Father Kayser
case, but with a large number of seri-
GUS crimes committed in Gary, Kanka-
kee, Hammond. City, Valparaiso, In
glewood, South Chicago and La Port,
all adjacent to the western metropo-
lis and suffering from the violent
crime wave which swept over that
| section of Illinois and Indiana, that

tective Captain Cronan in further

1t will be remembered that some
! years ago there was an epidemic of
| fractional fights, race riots and hold

participants in the outbreaks were, as
a rule, the scum of the Polish, Hun
garian and Slav colonies which
| abound in that section of the coun-
! try.
Even the prisons were not free
| from outbreaks and there are some at
large who are wanted for murder and
jailbreak, melting to riot, and other
| desperate crimes. Captain Cronar
believes a strong light can be shed
upon some of those gentry when he

the murder of a city marshal a short

Actress Tells Secret
A Well Known Actress Tells How
to DarEen Gray Hair With a
Simple Home Made Mixture.

Joicey Williams, the we'll known
American actress, who was recently
playing at the Imperial Theatre in
St. Louis, Mo-, made the following
statement about gray hair and how
to darken it:
ANYONE can prepare a simple
mixture at home, at very little cost,
that will darken gray ~streaked or
faded hair, and make it soft and
glossy. To half pint OF water add
ounce OF bay rum, small box of
Barbo compound, and "a ounce OF
glycerine. These ingredients can be
bought at any drug store at very
little cost, or any druggist can put
it up for you. Apply to the hair
twice a week until the desired shade
is obtained. This will make a gray
haired person look 20 years younger.
This is not a dye, it does not color
the most delicate scalp, is not sticky
or greasy and does not rub off.
