found. The left hand was powder

with both hands, the muzzle sup
ported by the fingers Of the left hand.
The bullet entered from a point Just
above the right ear, and evidently
lodged in the brain
When Mr.. Jester went to work this
morning he noticed someone as he
thought sitting asleep on the little
porch on the north side OF the old re
fectory. He thought he would wake
the sleeper and walked over towards
the stand 1t was then that he saw
the clothes were bloods1afned. he
ran through the park and called VII

called Justice James 8. Burrows, who
| lives near the park, and he helped to
investigate the case.
| They found man who gave his
name as James Scott who said he had
been sleeping in the speakers stand
across the road and down about
block He told the men that some
time after midnight, he thought II
was, he heard q shot He knew moth
| ing further about the case until he
saw the officials looking at the body

Tip From a Federal Bureau.
Providence Journal.)

A communication from the federal board for vocational education sug- gests that the mayors of American cities make it known in their cOmmu- mites that they "have the interest of our wounded heroes at heart t'-''if the mayor is good politician" the tipster proceeds to explain, ''ho will agerly grab such a chance for popularity and votes."
 If this precious missive may be talk en to indicate the intellectual process es which rule the vocational board. 1t is not to be wondered at that it has been making a failure of the great task confided to it. The composite mental ca1ibre of this government bu- reau must be Of a very low grade, to say nothing of it's m oral faculties.
 If the mayor is a good politician he will eagerly grab" the chance to capitalize and exploit the distress of our sick and wounded soldiers, sailors and marines for his political ends that is the stupid and disgusting sug- gestion that this federal board, which is charged with the humane duty of rehabilitating the disabled veterans, faVorS us with.
 The communication Is an insult to the persons for whom it IS intended. and to the American people. AS a

RICHES.

c I am rich in that this day is mine, This dainty day that delicately
 walks The lowered world, stepping on
 freighted stalks, Burning late incense at the poppies'
 shrine, .\Dd peeping through the tresses of
 the vine. And rich am l in every wind that talks, In every crum bling cloud that lightly chalks The scroll of blue; most rich in life's rich wine. Dcarer the gold of freshly minted star Or coined moon than all that misers hoard: Dearcr the pearls each morning filings afar In glad largesse than gems in dark ness stored. Count me not poor until I fail to gain Silver from streams and diamonds from the rain.

SHORTAGE OF FUEL

F Chicago, Nov. 5.--Shortagc of fuel became more noticea ble today in some sections of the country especially in Montana as the approximately 425,- 900 soft coal miners added another days idleness to the s kc.
 From St. Louis also t was reported that a fuel shortage threatened. Other places, mainly west of the Mississippi were making what prepa ratons were possible to combat the advent of win ter.
 In the central and eastern districts no severe shortage today had been threatened, and reassuring statements were issued by officials in some sec tions
 So far railroad operation has not been interfcred with, and the closing down of no industry because of the strike has been reported.
 There was little change in the gen Cral situation during the last 24 hours. Reports from West Virginia that four union mines in the New River district were in operation and that two in the unorganized Guyan field were closed by sympathetic strike, threat of the North Dakota ignite miners, who returned to work after one days lay off to walk out unless increas ased wages were granted and a statement by the Warden of Oklahoma state prison that four mics on the prison farm probably would he re-opened with convict labor Thursday were regarded as the most Important.
 Should the Oklahoma mines be placed in operation it would be the first resumption of production in the southwest in any mine affected by the strike.
