WASHINGTON, Jan. PA plain case
of cold feet" was the way Representa-
tive Rodenberg, Illinois. republican. char
acterized the apparently changed views
Of Attorney General almer on sedition,
as the house rules committee resumed Its
hearings on the Graham bill yesterday.
Rodenberg criticised Pamer's failure to
appear before the committee in support
Of the proposed sedition legislation. The
congressman's charges against Palmer
caused n heated partisan discussion In
the committee, Representative Pou,
North Carolina, democrat, saying there
were evidences Of cold feet nearer home"
Pou also declared Rodenberg's remarks
were nothing more than political mate
rial
II am at a loss to understand why
the attorney general failed to appear"
Rodenberg said. My understanding was
that Mr. Palmer was responsible for
the initiation Of this legislation IN con
gress and that he had previously ap-
proved both the Sterling and Graham
sediuOn bills"
Chairman Campbell backed Up state
hents of Rodenberg that Palmer had
asked to be heard.
Palmer's previous support of the Ora
ham and Sterling bills was denied by
democrats on the committee.

VICTIM CLEARS
p OLD MURDER
Mystery of IS Years Ago Is
Solved by Return.

CLARION, Pa, Jan. PA murder"
mystery of thirty five years standing
was cleared up here recently. 1t would
form the plot for a good fiction story.
In 1884 a farmer named Keaster mar
ried a widow with two sons, II and 10
years old. respectively. Shortly after the
marriage the boys disappeared and no
trace, of them could be found
Word went around that Keaster dis
liked the stepsons, had killed them and
made away with the bodies. The stories
so worried Keaster that his mind gave
way and he was placed IN the county
insane asylum. During his wild moments
he told the keeper that he had killed
one Of his stepsons and fearing that
the other would tell Of the deed he had
likewise killed him. The bodies, he said
had been buried in the garden Search
was made for the bodies, but they were
never found. Soon after this Keaster
died
During the recent holidays a stranger
arrived In Clarion. He inquired for
Keaster. When told of the tragic end Of
the farmer he announced that he was
the older Of the sons who had disap-
peared The two boys, he explained
decided 70 run away from home. They
worked their way 10 the northwest,
where they found employment. The
younger boy was killed In an accident
ave gears after leaving home.

FORTY CASES OF
FLU REPORTED
Situation Not Alarming, but
Precautions Are Necessary.

There has been a slight increase in the
number of influenza cases in the city,
DR.. Herman C. Morgan, secretary of the
city board of health, declared today.
During the last ten days forty cases
have been reported and though this num-
Der is not alarming, it is an indication of
tie presence of the disease here. Mem
bers of the health board are urging the
public to fake precautions. =
The increase. in the number Of cases
was attributed to the tnclement weather
by DR.. Morgan. He said there is now
prevalence of respiratory infections which
make individuals susceptible to influenza
Health officials are urging the public
to be very careful in following hygienic
rules. individuals are especially. eau
toned to be careful Of damp feet and wet
clothes. The proper heating of homes
and public buildings is also essential in
keeping down an epidemic. Heat without
moisture dryS the mucous membrane and
makes it susceptible to flu and cold
germs, according to DR.. Morgan.
Inspectors of the health department
were given an hours instruction this
morning as to method of procedure In
guarding against 4 spread OF influenza.
DR. Morgan said today that many
cases of influenza reported turned out to
be nothing more thar colds or mixed
infections when examined. He said that
there has been from 10000 to 10000
cases of colds and mixed infections in
the city during the past four weeks.
These cases are not reported to the health
authorities. 1t is necessary, however,
that all cases Of influenza be reported,
he said.

DRY DAYLKELY
TO BE HOLIDAY
Army Officer Asserts u. S.
Should Celebrate Date.

BOSTON, Jan. 24.-Need for continu-
ing the campaign against the liquor
forces in Massachusetts,, in the United
States, and throughout the world, was
the keynote Of jubilee banquet held by
the state branch Of the Anti-Saloon
league in Ford hall in recognition of
the introduction of national prohibition
by constitutional amendment. 1t was
urged that fund of $4,000 be raised
to keep up the work in this state, and
5000 was pledged Mt the meeting in
81 900 gifts. The total Of smaller gifts,
which were made in sealed envelopes
viii be made known later. Resolutions
were adopted urging cooperation of
churches and other agencies IN extending
prohibition throughout the entire world.
Delcevare King, chairman Of the meet
ing, read letters from governors of sew
eral states and from other public Of
hcials, highly commencing prohibition
and asserting that 1t had already proved
Of great benefit.
Brig. Gen. John w. Wilson, q. S. A,
asserted that the adoption Of the prohi-
bition amendment by fOrty-1ve states
was significant. H said ne thought that
prohibition was one of the greatest things
the war had produced, and that Jan. 10
would some day be celebrated as
holiday.
Arthur J. Davis, local secretary Of the
league, told of the efforts made by liquor
men to resume the traffic, but said their
aim would never be accomplished. Eco
nomic benefits from prohibition included
great reductions in Jail population, saw
ing Of expense in Jail construction, and
the possibility that many local courts
could be closed but more important than
all was the restoration of homes blighted
by drink, to happiness. Funds are
needed, he declared to fight the liquor
mems propaganda and assaults on the
constitution; he felt that the people
would respond
Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel Of
the Anti-SalOon league, who has won
several cases for it in the United States
supreme court, said that two new organ
izations had been formed to fight prohibi-f
ton and were spreading propaganda
broadcast. They were well financed. Mr..
Wheeler said the liquor men would fail
in their efforts, but that the United States
must help backward nations to fight the
traffic. The issue was one Of unfolding
the constitution, and every American
must do his utmost in that respect.

FLU BATTLING
TO SCIENTISTS
Research Fails to Isolate Germ
Of Disease.

BOSTON, Jan. 24-One Of the most
desperate murderers In the history Of
the world is at large. and scientists
thus far have been unable to locate
him. This terrible truth was brought
out by Prof T. NJ. Rivers, Of Johns
Hopkins hospital, Baltimore, who ad-
dressed the Society Of American Bacter-
biologists in annual convention at the
Massachusetts, Institute Of Technology.
This criminal Is the germ responsible
for Influenza, according to Prof Rivers.
According to statistics presented by
Prof Rivers in 1903, a certain bacillus
was identified and classified as an In
fiuenza bacillus, but It has been found
that the germ hourishes In the bodies
of perfectly healthy individuals while
others, stricken with influenza, are not
visited by the germ. The theory now
is that an organism so small that 1t
eludes the most powerful microscope. is
the real culprit and, furthermore, scien-
lists declare that the human eye is so
constructed that it will probably never
see through a microscope the actual
guilty germ which has slain many thou
sands in influenza epidamics
