Clemenceau Tours War Region

Premier Clemenceau Sunday be-
gan a visit TO the devastated re-
gions, entering the zone of pro-
tracted warfare at st Quentin.
Everywhere he was given a splen-
did welcome. The Premier encour-
aged the people to question him and
bring forward any complaints
which they had to make, and they
were not slow in doing so. In ad-
dressing the population of st. Quen-
tin NJ. Clemenceau declared that,
now the peace is concluded, the
work of construction and reform
would be the governments fore
most care.
THE difficulties we meet at every
step" he said cannot be solved by
old rules. New methods must be
found for new requirements, and
we must, above all, learn to use that
free individual initiative which the
republic must strive 10 develop. II
is not good practice for a demo-
cratic country to leave everything
to the government.
"You will have TO rebuild your
homes and perhaps the habit thus
acquired by the Frenchmen OF de-
pending on himself to make the eff
fort will contribute TO still further
democratize our country. You must
not think that peace is a contract
which ends all difficulties.

Dungeons Barred in Kentucky

The dungeon at the Workhouse
is passing into antiquity with the
rack, the thumbscrew and other
relics of penal correction.
In the future il is to be used only
as last resort for a fractions pris-
oner. Heretofore il has been used
TO rectify behavior on the slightest
offenscs. -.
The Workhouse dungeons are
subterranean, built into the stone
foundations. They are pitch dark
and each contains one opening.
That is the door. In the door is
cut round hole, like the wig-wag
oriflce on a lodge room door. This
hole is covered by a plate which
can be opened only from the out
side. The prisoner is, therefore,
sealed in a box of Stygian black

These geological reports bear out to
a large extent theory which later be-
came current as to the origin of the
rich mineral products around Mans
field, Mo. According to this theory,
Mansfield, one of the highest points in
! the district, is the site of prehistoric
volcano. The purest ore is found clos
est To this center, while the adulter-
ated deposits are found as the distance
becomes greater
Once he had secured rights to the
land, DR.. Beelers plan became known
and soon the district was a bee hive
ut fortune-hunters. But all of the
promising land in the vicinity had
been leased by DIR. Beeler and his asso-
ciates and they We're ready to launch
their project.
Their scheme OF operation calls ultl-
mately for the organization of local
companies in each of the forty-fiye
states. Each OF these corporations
will be granted concessions around the
reserved portion of the leases which
the parent corporation win hold ana
which will be enhanced in value with
the growing activity surrounding it.
The Kentucky Mansfield Lead "
Zine Syndicate was Incorporated June
II, 1913. It's capital stoek'of 100000
was quickly sold out. On November
! 1t bought It's first mill, which soca
began operations on the ground, and

tary. w. L. Newbold, of Louisville, Is

Louisville, is the corporations attor-
ney. DIR. Beeler is one of the dlrec-
tors, as is also DR.. Charles \. Funk.
The officers of the LOUISVILLE

CATE, which was formed February 81,
1918, are the same as those of the
Kentucky syndicate except that DR..
Beeler is vice president and J. &. Ma

man, is a director. Over half of the
capital stock of 100000 already has
been sold Offices of the company are
at 400 Starks Bldg, louisville.
The stock is being put Out-at $100
(par value) per share.
The cOmpany's property is in the
heart of the Ozark Mountains, Wright
County, Mo. One for.y-acre tract is
located between two mills, those of the
Kentucky syndicate, known as the
"Pioneer MIL and of w. II. Caldwell,
of Louisville, known as the "Red-bir1

the best in the district although three
other forty-acre tracts are well located
and partly tested.

4. T. Beeler, vice president of the neT
LOUISVILLE MANSFIELD LEAD &
ZINC SYNDICATE. He is the man
who, eleven years ago, while prac-
| ticing dentist in an Oklahoma town,
| became interested in western oil de-
velopment. With holdings in 1877 oil
J. wells after he had become successful
Y In that game, Dr. Beeler had wide op-
portunities to observe the possibilities
Hand exigencies of that business, or
game, as it may rightly be called. He
saw men carried up into the realm of
. sudden riches; he saw hopes fulfilled
| beyond their own limits. But he saw
the other side, too, of the oil game
[ its uncertainty, and the ruin that this
uncertainty brought to some.
One day Dr. Beeler heard about the
| strike made in the famous Joplin zinc
ore district. He began studying the
possibilities of the new found oppOr-
tunity. He reflected that in the oil
Rbusiness when a well was drilled, no
Ekmortal could with certainty tell which
4 of four things would be the result
4 Oil, water, gas or hole in the ground.
Die reflected that an oil well, drilled
from 100 to $500 feet in the ground,
4 cost from $4,000 to $4,000 before its
real promise was known. And then
he compared this with data he had
gathered about the mining Industry, in
4 which natures store of wealth lies
comps gatively close TO the surface and
covers great areas, necessltating, IN
proportion, a small initial outlay. He
| applied this comparison particularly to
what he had heard about the Joplin
| Mansfield fields.
DIR. Beeler was not long in making
nm his mind. 1t was two years ago in
Kansas City that the project, which Is
now being carried to every state in
the Union, had its inception. DIR.
Beeler had selected a partner, severed
his connections with the oil fields, and
! had employed an agent, versed In the
technique of such an undertaking, TO
investigate opportunities in the Joplin
| district.
But II was by chance that the real
onportunity was found. One day,
when DIR. Beeers emissary was fruit
lessly pickering with people In the
field to which prospectors were al
ready swarming, an old man called
him aside.
.If YOU want to see an unworked To-
cality, | want to show you something,
said the old man.
AS the result of the investigation
and assaying which followed, Dr. Beel-
err his partner and several notaries,
IN all Of the public automobiles the
nearby town afforded, set out In the
Hate afternoon in what is now the
Mansfield district The chauffeurs and

that the murderers were disturbed In
their work by the approach of the car
occupied by the two women and the
man.
II this be true, the assailants Of Lacey
hearing the approaching car hastily
placed the body along side the roadway
and then drove Off. The two women
and the man In their car turned of the
main detour road q short distance dway
and would not have had a chance TO
see any car II one had continued on 10
wards Bellevue.
II the murderer or murderers did con-
t.nue on 10 Bellebue, they evidently
realized that the roadway there was al
most impossible and returned to this
city and then became lost In West
Eighteenth street while trying 10 make
the detour via the Boulevard and the
Foulk road for Philadelphia.
The fact that the three witnesses
found so far have reported seeing La
cey alive but injured at II oclock, two
hours after he left the Wilmington
Taxicab Company garage here. leads the
local detectives TO believe that Michael
Kerlln, the taxlcab driver was correc.
In his statement that he passed Lacey
in taxicab at Fourth and Walnut
streets that night at 1920 O'Clock and
spoke 10 him.
The police are hoping that In case
the man who entered the car At Eighth
and Shipley streets on the nigh. Of the
murder and who may have left Il late'
when Lacey picked up another passeu-
ger or two, will come forward and as
sist them by telling where he left the
cab.
AS for any motive for the murder Of
the young man, the authorities so far
have been unable TO unearth a clue.
Suggestions have been numerous but
the clues that have been run 10 vn have
proved worthless.
Some OF the police offlcials are in
cllned to think that the murder was
committed by a maniac. Whatever was
the motive, II has been ag eed that
the young chauffeur was beaten TO
death by a rock and that when found
Lacey had been dead but a short time.
The fact was apparent when the body
was found, the blood not having con-
Sedcu.
IL Is said that had Lacey been dead
for any length Of time, the blood on
the parts Of his body not exposed to
the heavy rains Of the night would
have dried more and the limbs have
stlffened. The statement made by the
cOroner's assistants that the cuts on
the victims face did not show any
dirt, could have been possible as the
blood flowed freely and IL rained hard
while Lacey's body lay exposed to the
elements.
The funeral Of the murdered man was
held from his late home, No 2iO5 Car

hundreds OF persons discussed the case.
