CORONER'S JURY
TO MEET TODAY
NEW EVIDENCE IN MURDER CASE
TO BE CONSIDERED THIS

After adjournment Of one week the
coroners jury viii again take up the
investigation Of the murder of George
Cooley this morning before Judge
Johnson. Justice Of the peace. The
Jury was adjourned a week ago to
allow time for new evidence to be
worked up in an effort to fix the re-
sponsibflity of the murder on the
proper parties.
Cooley was murdered in the latter
part of December, while on his way
home from his place of business.
The murder was committed in the
downtown section of the city, just
block off Palafox-st. Several clues
were advanced at the time of the
murder. but after celebrating over
these clues for week, the case was
set for reopening this morning.
Cooley was a well known restau-
rant man and had been living here
for several years. He was known to
usually carry a large sum OF money
home with him after closing his place
of business and robbery was thought
to have been the motive for the kill
ing.
Several arrests We're made Of sus-
pected parties, but the evidence was
not enough to convict them oE the
murder. The sheriffs office is stiu
holding Marriott. an iron worker, ar
rested shortly after the killing charged
with murder, and his investigation
Will come up this morning.
Aside from Marriott new clues viii
be heard this morning, new evidence
having been received during the
week. Special Investigator Moore has
been working or the case recently and
it is thought that he will have some
valuable information to give 10 the
jury this morning.

gOOTLEGGERS DOUBLE PROFIT;
SELL, STEAL BACK, Is CHARGE.

Scranton, Pa. Sept. 27.-That
some hootleggers of Scranton are
making double profits on the sale of
whisky is the charge made by the po-
lice.
1t is stated that certain ring Of
boot..eggers has a paid gang of men
to steal back whisky after it has been
sold. The police say that man
from Buffalo purchased large
amount Of whisky here several days
ago and that the seller agreed to
make the delivery at Buffalo.
After the money had been paid,
the start was made to Buffalo. The
seller and a companion were on the
truck carrying the whisky; the pur-
chaser was riding behind in a tour
ing car. Just outside of Buffalo a
package of tacks was dropped from
the truck and the tires of the pur-
chaser's machine were punctured.
Later he was notified that his whisky
had been confisrated by the Buffalo
police.
A few days later two men from
Michigan purchased a supply Of
whisky here and had it loaded in
their automobiles. The visitors
were then advised by the seller to
place their machine over night in a
certain "safe" garage. During the
night the whisky was stolen.
The police department today stat
ed that it intends getting after
bootleggers and will first direct its
attention to those charged with SELL
ing whisky and then stealing it
back.

Washington, Dec. S0.-Col George
c. Richards of Oil City, Pa, was ap-
pointed today by President Wilson as
chief of the militia bureau OF the war
department.
Colonel Richards, who is a Pennsyi-
vania national guard officer and at
tached to the infantry reserve officers
corps, will assume his duties tomor-
row, succeeding Maj. Gen. Jesse M.
carter, who goes to a line command.
Colonel Richards will have the rank
of major general and will be the first
national guard officer to hold this po-
sition. Appointment of a guard Off
Ger who IS a member of the reserve
corps to this post is provided for In
the army reorganization bill.
Gov. Henry ]. Allen. when informed
that President Wilson had refused to
appoint Charles 1. Martin, head of the
Kansas national guard, to the place
of chief of the militia bureau, said:
1t is very apparent to me that the
president and the war department ig-
nored the law which provided that the
chief of the militia bureau was to be
chosen upon the recommendation OF
the governors of the states. Two
thirds of the recommendations sent in
by the governors asked that General
Martin be appointed and it is very
evident that the intent of the law has
been violated
Says Martin Side Tracked.
Governor Allen while attending the
governors conference in Pennsylvania
few weeks ago predicted that the
war department would attempt to have
General Martin side-traked ard an
other man appointed to this position.
1t is generally understood that
General Martin came into disfavor
with the war department when he was
relieved of his command on the eve or
the Thirty fifth divisions going into
the Argonne fighting.
Governor Allen, upon his inau9ura-
ton, publically asserted that he did
not believe General Martin had been
given square deal and in his inaug-
ural address said that in recognition
of General Martins service and as an
indication of what he thought or
Martin he would appoint him adjutant
general of the Kansas national guard

That's not reasonable-to say that

And there you have another light on

not the only desire of the hunter She
may leave her feelings at home when
she goes hunting and not mind being
spurned by the one to whom she pro-

only in search of a husband, but of
new gowns of silk for her wardrobe

"And then even tho I get turned
down six times I needn't care" one
doughty huntress declares. ''For then
L shall have six new silk dresses and
any girl who has six new silk dresses
should have the whole man world at
her feet, even tho Lean Year has
flown"
She Landed Victim.
That theory is well worked out by
many girls. But they should be warn

made with her proposal weapon land

nearly a year and hasn't had a sight
of a new silk dress yet!
For the timid bachelors who would
not object to the matrim onial yoke
there is a-word of encouragement in
regard to assuming the yoke under
Leap Year. conditions. The girl must
pay the bills She must buy the
