Cheese Sandwich
Proves q Luxury

Enough cheese to make a million
dollars worth Of sandwiches at ten
cents each is included In the irn-
nense amount of foodstuffs uncov-
cred In the two largest cold stor-
age warehouses here. Six hundred
thousand pounds OF this 10 stored in
one cold storage plant. and 2S6,2S5
pounds In another, while II Is esti-
mated that enough to round out IL
100000 pounds Is stored In other
smaller warehouses
1t Is figured that a.~pound of
cheese will make ten sandwiches.
so 1t does not take a mathematician
to figure that 100000 pounds
means 100000 sandwiches at A
DOLLAR A POUND.
The office statistician has figured
out that 1t would take an average
man. at the rate Of four sandwiches
a day, 6.S49 years. less IS days. to
eat the million pounds OF cheese
stored in Richmond.
This does not take into considera-
ton 21.542 crates OF eggs. thirty
dozen to crate, also in storage In
Richmond. Resort to pencil and
paper discloses that this means
s46.2s0 dozen or 7,754.12o eggs.

KILLS HIS WIFE AND
BURNS HER BODY

South Boston. Aug. Lawrence
Guthrie. a young negro, was found
guilty by coroner's jury in this city
Monday afternoon Of the murder of
his wife. Roxie Guthrie, and sent to
the grand jury in Houston that same
afternoon. Thus was solved the mys-
terry of the disappearance of the muir
dered woman, who had been missing
since the night of July End.
Officer Terry arrested the negro. A
coroner's jury was at once empanelled
by Judge H. w. Woodall composed of
Messrs f. ". Black, c. NJ. Smith, j.
T. CLANCY, ]. D. Baynes, A. c. Green
and j. &. Hickman. They viewed the
scene OF the murder and were then
adjourned until Monday afternoon at
8 o'clock when they convened in the
city courtroom. Here various wit
nesses were examined, ending with
the defendant who. when questioned
admitted that he had killed his wife
and burnt her body In the barn. He
testified that he hit her on the head
with a brick. During his trial he dis
played absolutely nc emotion over his
horrible crime and appeared to be in
no way affected by 1t. From his atti-
tud he Is evidently of an exceedingly
low order of mentality. Upon hear
ing his confession the cQroner's jury
found that his wife came to her death
at his hands and he was at once taken
to the county Jail at Houston.

WOULD ROUND UP HUN
FINANCIAL DEStRTtRS

Amsterdam, Aug. S.--A world" tax
to be imposed by the league Of ma
lions on all countries in order to cover
the costs Of the great war Is advocated
by Bernhard Dernburg. who resigned
as German finance minister when the
national assembly voted for acceptance
Of the peace terms.
Dernburg's chief object in urging
this novel idea Is to hit what he calls
the financial dcserters." big German
capitalists who have taken billions OF
marks into neutral countries during
the war and have been specializing on
the German exchange, with enormous
profits to themselves and to the detri-
ment of the fatherland.
He estimates the total sum thus
taken or sent out Of Germany during
the war at twenty billion marks ts5.-
900, 000.00O), and flays those prof
teers" in bitter terms. These German
capitalists, he says, have time ard
again been directly, responsible for
great drops in the German exchange
by manipulating the bourses in neutral
countries.
/ They cannot be reached directly be-
cause OF the intricate dummy" sys-
item, but If an international tax were
raised affecting neutralz on the same
basis the belligerents. he said. these
financial deserters," would be proper
lily punished. Since the. neutrais are
the chief gamers from the war, Dern-
burg argues, the tax he proposes
would be no more than fair.
