H0USEkEEPER TELLS NEW MURDER STORY Is Sure Burlington Artist was
 Killed by Burglars
 OFFICIALS ARE RETICENT
Autopsy Performed But Finding Kept Secrct-Woma Changes Testimony She Gave PrcviOuSIy-Nictim Too Feeble to Kill Himself,

Burlington, Nt., Aug. 27.-The state authorities and the local police have been in consultation today with Health Officer Racey and pr. C. F. Whitney of the state laboratory, fol- lowing an autopsy held last night upon the body of William c. Stacey, the re- tired artist, who was shot in the din- ing room of his home at SS North Prospect street Sunday night.
 Officials Remain Silent
 States Attorney Allen Martin was interviewed this morning regarding. the autopsy finding but stated that he had nothing to give the press at this or any other time regarding the case The conference this morning took place in the city court and although all of those who were present at the autopsy were bound to secrecy rega rd- ing anything that occurred there there was general impression gained from the activity of both the state and local authorities that the autopsy pro- duced evidence of a, valuable nature Whether the autopsy substantiated the murder theory of the police or proved that the aged artist was a, sui- eide will not be known for several hours.
 lfousckeeper Changes Story.
 Mrs. Electa Roberts of this city, housekeeper at the Stacey home. is- sued a remarkable statement today in which she contra dicted many of the earlier stories attributed to her and gave the first authentic interview since the murder.
 Looks Like Murder.
 She says now that the right arm of the victim was across his chest when she found the body instead of by his side, the position in which the police found him later. The shots came in rapid succession, much faster than MT. Stacey could have fired them in his feeble condition, said the house. keeper. He had been placed in the position l found him He was too fec ble to have placed himself in such a position and his fingers were so stiff with rheuma tism that he could not have held a pistol, much less shoot one.
 Holds Robbery As Motive.
 Further light was thrown on the mystery of the piled up silverWare when Mrs. Roberts found two articles of doubtful value had been discarded and thrown back on the SidebOard as not valuable enough to bother with There IS no question in my mind but that MT. Stacey was murdered de- clared the hOusekeeper. He took his cane from the rack in the hall to de- fend himself when he heard someone in the dining room and walked to his death, a feeble. defenseless old man.
 Miss Adeline Lafavorite, the niece, is resident of Norton. Mass.

Von Haimhauen Unpopular.

Non Hahn hausen's attachment to the German peace commission in the capacity of secretary was scarcely less welcome but it was tolerated by the American commissioners for the reason that his familiarity with the issues might make him useful and his connection with the operations of the German embassy here was less than that of his principal.

Senior POme

Tell us not in mournful phrases
That the Senior year must pass,
Since the time we entered high school
Freshmen just as green as grass.
When we entered Hi as freshies
We had much to learn we know,
But we studied hard and faithful
And we progressed fast we trow.
The next year we We're Sophies
And that year was not so hard
Tho we studied much and played hard
To win our just reward.
But when we became grave juniors
Our good conduct we did show
For the Freshies and the Sophies,
Then we always acted so.
And now that we are Seniors
Catch our tear drops as they fall,
For we must leave the High school
So well beloved by all.
Then here's to the best School III the
land,
Old Leavenworth High,
The grand old times we've had here,
Well forget not till we die.
The above attempt at poetry by a
senior was handed in to breezy re-
porter in hopes that it might pass
censorship.

ABOUT BUYING A HOME

still have some exceptionally good
buys on my list in the way of resi-
dence property. The owners gave me
exclusive lstings several weeks ago
at stipulated figure so | know they
can't boost the price. Have some good
homes ranging in value from $500 up
to $4,000 and they are good, too. Am
making three and four deals a week
these days, so if you are living in a
rented house be prepared to move any
day.
probably have on my list the very
thing that you are looking for. Come
in and see me today.
HERE'S A REAL BUY

get hold of good piece of property

hundred dollars to pay down, come in
and see me about this.
s rooms, modern, with bath and tot
let; good cellar and good foundation;
and four big lots; very desirable loca-
ton. Any way you look at it, this
property is worth $1,000 at the very
least. l can sell it, however, for
81 900, and $500 will handle the deal.
If you really want something good,
you can't afford to pass this up. Call

If you are contemplating buying a
home, do not put it off any longer.
There are several reasons why you
should buy now. You not only save
rent, but from present indications you
can save from 500 to $500 on the
price of property in the next month
OF two. Right now you can hardly
find a vacant house in town for rent
and what does this mean? 1t means
that in a very short time lot of peo-
pie are going to be compelled to buy
the houses they rent or be without a
place to live. The cost of building is
so high that few people care to build
q home, and the result is that the
house owner, seeing a chance to get
little more money raises the price a
couple of hundred Last week | had
a buyer for some local property and
when | went around to the owner
imagine my surprise to hear him say,
Guess I'll have to call that deal off
unless you can get me a couple of
hundred more" Well, my buyer re
fused to pay 5000 more than the
property had first been priced to him.
so there was no sale. However, this
owner will probably get the additional
5000 before the summer is over. There
is a demand for houses, as | said be-
fore, and the only way you can be sure
of not having to move at any time is
to buy.

at Pays to Advertise" is said to be
one of the brightest and most enjoy
able plays produced in many seasons.
II is a clean farce comedy.
There are two ways to be funny in
play. One is to invent situations
whose consequences are comical and
the other is to say comical things.
The authors have cleverly combined
the two elements and added just
enough romance to make it attractive.
Cyrus Martin, president of the soap
trust, has a son, Rodney, who has
shown few symptoms of setting the
town afire. To get the boy started
and awaken his ambitions, Martin
senior pursuades his private secretary,
a charming girl, to inveigle Rodney in
love affair with her, with the idea
of ostensibly disowning him and fore
ing him to work. Mary consents but
truly falls in love with Rodney.
Carrying out the plan, the old man
disowns Rodney who promptly declares
he will make good and mrary the girl.
The boy aided and abetted by Ambrose
Peale an ex-theatrical press agent
with a full appreciation of the value
of publicity, starts in with meagre
capital but abundant pep, to buck his
fathers soap trust.
