WASHINGTON, July 1S.-Propa

regulate the big American meat pack.

Thomas, Colorado, and Senator Smoot
Utah.
This propaganda was described as
consisting largely of a flood of letters

yon measure. The propaganda, Thorn
as said, developed after the recent re-
port of the federal trade commission
warning that the big five" packers
would soon dominate the nations en-
tire food supply unless they were
curbed.
The Kenyon bill would place the
packers under license and give the
government power to make them obey
the regulations.
For the last few days my mail has
been burdened with letters protesting
against the Kenyon packing BILL
Senator Thomas, democrat, declared
on the floor. "They all describe 1t as
unjust, unmerited and socialistic ]
protest against these constant at
tempts to influence senators. They
are becoming nuisance"
Senator Smoot, republican, asserted
that in spite of the apparent propa.
ganda he was receiving, ten petitions
favoring the Kenyon bill to every one
against it.
Several senator's privately said they
had received word that the packers
were sending circular letters to their
branch houses, bond and stockholders
and to others, asking that letters be
written to senators and congressman.
Practically every senator is receiving
letters, it was said today.

The prospects are very good for a
bumper crop considering the acreage.
it was stated this morning. A smaller
acreage than the average for the past
few years has been put in, but what
has been planted is doing well.
The hot weather has retarded the
development of the vegetable from the

crop.
The canning season will last about
three months and will provide work
for many people while 1t lasts.

ATE FLESH
OF VICTIMS
Japanese Coal Miner Confesses to
Murder Of Six Women
Whose Thighs He
Devoured.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.]
NAGASAKI, Japan, June 23.-(By
mail to the United Press.)-The
wierdest murder mystery in the his
tory of Japan has been solved with
the confession of Tokichi Hori, coal
miner, that he killed six women and
ate part of their flesh.
The six mysterious deaths of
women presented the same puzzle
in each case large piece of flesh
had been cut from the victims right
leg. All were killed near the Mast
sushima coal mines.
Admitting the murders, Hori con-
fessed he consumed the flesh be-
cause of belief that only this could
cure him of melancholia, which
affected him for years. He stated
that he had served ten years in
prison for a similar crime and since
he was released he sought the same
cannibalistic remedy every time mel
ancholia possessed him.
The Mastsushima district has been
in a state of terror over the repeated
murder of women-aYways found
with large piece Of flesh cut out
of the right thigh. In every case,
Hori carried the flesh home wrapped
in parts Of the women's garments.

BOY WAS MAKING
SOME BIG PROFITS
Lad Picked Up While Soliciting SUB
scriptions to Get Him to a
School for Deaf Mutes
was Doing Well.

The best get-rich-quick scheme
that has come to light in Lee county
in recent years was discovered at
Fort Madison yesterday afternoon
when a seventeen year old boy, who
was posing as deaf mute, was
turned over to the police for inves.
tigation.
The lad had accumulated for his
days work $23, and was just getting
well started for the day, as it was
into rupted.
He was either mute or very
clever for the police could not learn
whether he is taking or not, but con.
flicting stories which he told to the
police and his sympathizers aroused
this suspicious.
He was picked up at the court
house after he had received dona-
ton from all the men who were
working there He said that he
wanted to get enough to get to a
school in Kansas. Later he told that
he had come from Vancouver and
was on his way to st. Paul.
The authorities hardly knew which
story to believe, but they were
agreed on one thing. Ii he was tell.
ing the truth when he said that he
had been working the game for six
months, and he had found people as
charitable as they are in Keokuk and
Fort Madison he could soon afford to
retire.
The list Of subscribers to his fund
was headed by the names Of three
Keokuk people. The rest of them
were from Fort Madison.
He was being held for investiga.
ton by the police.
Inquiry developed that the lad had
worked in Keokuk the day before and
had left with a goodly sum. His story
here was the same as that told in Fort
Madison.
After being kept in the city jail
there over night he was put on the
train this morning and started to
Burlington.

River from This
City.
ST. ALBANs BEST LAND
The Farm Land Valuations by Asses
sors Justify Estimate Of Hun
dred Millions Actual Value
Of County.

The assessors this year valued the
property in Hancock county at over
| fifty million dollars and nobody evS,-
accused the assessors OF oyeresti-
mating the values In farming COM
immunity.
The land in Hancock county was
assessed at $32.627, 113, and the
town lots at $5,398,78S, making a
total for real estate of $3S.015,903.
The largest item of personal prop
erty was cattle, and $5,761,42S worth
| of cattle were assessed in Hancock
county this year.
Horses came next with valuation
| of $3,S85,570, while all the automo-
biles In the county were only valued
lat $2,081 ,O19, which should give some
comfort to horse lovers
Automobiles Below Hoss.
Even hogs beat automobiles in
value in the county, for they are
worth $2,265,519, the assessors say.
These items are all there are above
the two million mark, except stocks
of merchandise in the towns and
cities which total $2,414.6S5 in value.
Grain and household goods are
over the one million line, there being
$1,577,766 worth of grain and ST.
10O,019 worth Of furniture in the
county, full of well furnished farm
houses and town homes.
Agricultural implements in Han
cock county are worth s666,798. and
carriages and wagons are valued at
$316,164. The two lowest items are
mules at $295,371, and sheep at $179,-
562.
Some Parts Better Than Others.
There are 2,708 dogs in Hancock
county that the assessors saw. but
they made no attempt to place a
valuation on the CANNES.
The highest valuation of land was
in st. Adams township where land
was valued by the assessors at $119
an acre, with Rock Greek township
second at 500 per acre, and the
BOBBY prize going to Hancock town
ship at 1872 per acre.
These ideas Of the valuation OF
land for taxation, compared with
many sales recently at $3.50 to $500
per acre justify the suspicion that IL
the actual value of all the property
in Hancock county was ascertained,
1t would be nearer q hundred mil
lions than fifty millions.
