AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING
TOBACCO TO MAKE 1T BETTER

For good many years The American
Tobacco Company have been conducting a
series of experiments having as their
object the improvement of smoking
tobaccos.
And it IS interesting to know that one
of the greatest of their discoveries was one
of the simplest and that was, that cooking
or toasting tobacco improved it in every
way, just as cooking most foods improves
them.
They took real Burley tobacco. grown
in this country; toasted it as you would
toast bread; moistened it to replace the
natural moisture driven off by toasting:
made it into cigarettes, called them
LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette"
and offered them to the public.
Theresult has been the greatest demand
ever created for any tobacco product in a
similar length of time.
The change produced by toasting is not
only most wholesome, but the flavor is
greatly improved, just as cooking improves
meat. for example.

Murder and Arson
In Ward Six

In ward six, four miles north
Of Colfax, Dallas Brown killed
young Walter Lasyone about four
O'Clock Sunday afternoon, Feb.
16, by stabbing him in the left
breast over the heart, from which
he died almost instantly.
The evidence before coroner's
jury showed that Brown owed
So, so to Lasyone, who demanded
payment. Brown replied that
he didn't have .th e money.
Lasyone then said he had to pay
now or take a beating, and began
to pull off his coat. Brown then
stabbed him, and he only went
about twenty feet before falling
dead. Brown is II, and at the
time of the killing had his
younger brother Willie, aged
about Ia, with him. Jesse Smith,
another young man, was with
Lasyone, and it was his unbiased
testimony mainly that establish
ed before coroner's jury the
manner in which Lasyone was
killed, these only being present
at the tragedy. Brown was ar
rested and jailed.
Dallas Brown is charged jointly
with O. B. Brett and Ebert Hat
taway with having burned a
large farm residence in that
neighborhood two weeks ago.
He was jailed with them and had
been out under bond only a few
days when the killing occurred.
This charge of incendiarism is at
tracing a great deal of interest
in this community, and young
Brown is being used against
Brett and Hathaway. The court
house on last Monday was packed
with more than two hundred per-
sons to hear the preliminary trial
which took up two days. Judge
w. F. Blackman presided and
and District Attorney Carter was
assisted in the prosecution by
John R. Hunter. Attorneys John
Overton, John Blackman and C.
H. Mccain represent the defense.
Thirty witnesses or more were
summoned by two sides, but only
part of them went on the stand.
1t is suspected that the killing of
Lasyone may have grown out of
the incendiary charge, but so far
no connection between them has
been established.
Tuesday the preliminary trial
was brought to a close, and Judge
Blackman had Ebert Hathaway
committed to Jail without the
benefit of bond, while O. B. Brett
and Dallas Brown were permitted
to give bond in the sum Of $1,000
to appear at district court for
trial. They gave bond and have
been released.

State Will Elect Governor,
u. S. Senator and Four
Congressman
Millikea Runs Again
Democrats Attacking Him on
Distribution of Fund for
Soldiers Dependents

Maine will choose a Governor to-
morrow to serve two wears, United
States Senator and four members Of
Congress.
Republicans have been preparing for
the election ever since March 2S, when
they induced Colonel Roosevelt to go
to Portland and make them keynote
speech. The leaders of Maine know
that the Democrats Of the nation, as
we'll as the Republicans, are watching
the outcome Of the battle to-morrow,
for every two years the grayheards
hum the old jingle, "Maine went hell
bent for Governor Kent, Tippecanoc
and Tyler, too"
Going back to the '40s is reaching
too far into history for the younger set,
however, and they are waging the fight
On strictly up-to-date grounds.
This is the first general election held
since Woodrow Wilson'S election two
years ago. Maine in that election gave
Charles +. Hughes a maj joritv of 5.475,
while Governor Carl L. Milliken, whom
the Republicans have renominated, de
fcated former Governor Oakley c.
Curtis. OF Portland, by 1880 votes.
I he principal fight is on the Governor
ship. For this office the Democrats
have nominated Bertrand C. Mclntire,
Of Waterford, who has been a candidate
before
Governor Milliken is running on his
record. The Democrats are attacking
him because, they say, the people do
not like the way he has distributed
state military funds, as provided by
statute passed in 1917. These moneys
are first paid by the various munich
palites to near relatives of soldiers
who may have become dependent. In
the case Of mother the law was not

District Attorney
Delves Into Past of
'Mystery Woman
Mingling of German Sailors
With u. S. Troops at Elks'
Club Investigated

Further Investigation yesterday by
Assistant District Attorney James L.
Smith into the alleged activities of
Mrs. Margaret Voorhees,, the woman
Of mystery" of Freeport, Long Island,
now being held for The government
disclosed the fact that one of four Ger
man sailors interned at Freeport dis
appeared almost simultaneously with
the arrest OF Mrs. Voorhees,. The Dis
trict Attorney has not completed his
search into the antecedcnts Of Mrs.
Voorhees,, and would offer no opinion
yesterday as to whether there was any
connection between the occurrences.
The arrest of Mrs. Voorhees, has
brought to light the fact that the in
termed Germans who were employed on
the German liner George Washington,
prior to its seizure by the gover'-- ent,
had been allowed almost unlimited rec
dom and had been employed steadily at
the Elks Club at Freeport.
The club has maintained open
house" for men in uniform for months
and at several public affairs held there
for soldiers and sailors, the Germans
have mingled with them freely.
A question the District Attorneys
Office and men from the Army 1ntelli-
gence Service are trying to answer is
just how active Mrs. Voorhees, may have
been around the club. They are seek
ing to determine whether or not she
received invitations to any or all of
the formal affairs held there.
Edward LANCER, chairman of the
club house committee, is thought to
be the only one who can give definite
information on that point. He is head
of a large printing concern located on
West Broadway. He was in Washing
ton yesterday and is not expected
back until tomorrow
The authorities, in their investiga-
tions, are questioning everyone con-
nected with Mrs. Voorhees, in any way.
Her parents. Mr.. and Mrs. Fritz Norf,
are under arrest at Newark, N j., on a
charge of being enemy aliens.
Mrs. Voorhees, herself made a state
yuent to Mr.. Smith in which she said
she was born at Cologne in 1894 and
came to this country when she was
fourteen years old.
