TELLS COURT HIS FEAR OF GOD H|NDERED WINE MAKING OPERATIONS

T was afraid of God, and also afraid they would catch me-" was the aIlega- tion of Suetozar Janovich in a signed statement to the department of justice, which was introduced as evidence at the preliminary hearing yesterday of Nick Medovich ana JanOvich charged with conspiracy to make wine. At the conclusion of the hearing, John B. Henke, United States commissioner took the case under advisement.
 According to the statement made to Frank S. Smith, special agent of the department of justice, by Janovich, when he went to a local grocer to buy raisins his heart failed him. He thought of God. He also thought of the off cers and he declared that while he feared arrest, his fear of God was greater
 Janovich said he went to the ranch of Medovich two weeks ago and rented a room. He complained that his wife was i'll, he said. and that the doctors could not help her. When Medovich inquired if there was anything that would improve her condition or give her relief. Janovich replied that a, little wine might do her good. He admitted he knew how to manufacture wine, having made it in the "old country They agreed to make the wine, and, Janovich stated, he was detailed to buy the ralsins. It was then his heart failed nlm- ne sald, ana ne returned without the needed supply to the ranch on the Buckeye road. recently raided.
 This statement was introduced by J. H. Langston, assistant United States attorney, after government witnesses had testified to finding all parts of a still on the Medovich ranch. They told of finding the parts which, when as- sembled, made a complete outfit, as well as 1900 empty bottle many bar rels and 15 pounds of brown sugar. B. F.. Marks. representing Medovich, asked for a dismissal. claiming that the paraphenalia was on the premises when the property was purchased by his client. He further held that the statement of Janovich was valueless, in that 1t was not corroborated.
 When the court refused to dismiss the case, Medovich took the stand in his own behalf, and some half dozen witnesses later testified to his good character.

MUTILATED BODY OF HIS VICTIM
Pocket Knife Was Used to Sever Head
and Limbs.

Bridgeport, Conn, May 1.-THE
mutilated body of. an unidentified man
was found on the banks OF the Rooster
river here today by two laborers. The
man was killed less than five hours
before the body was found, physicians
stated.
~ The victims clothes had, been
stripped from his body, piled up and
set on fire. They were still shoulder
ing when the police arrived.
The mans head had almost been
severed from the body. one leg was
practically cut in two and his body
otherwise mutilated. Embedded in the
stomach was found a doubled bladed
pocket knife with which the murderer
had committed the crime.
Indications were that the murderer
originally intended to dismember the
body but found he could not do it
with a pocket knife. He evidently
then stripped the body of it's clothing
and set fire to it in an attempt to
destroy the identity of the murdered
man.

THE LAUGHING LIFT
Miss Blanche Weir's Epigrams. on
Walls of City Hall Elevator Are
Smile Producers.

1t makes some persons sick to ride
in elevators, but those who enter the
lift" at the city hall seldom leave it
without smiling. Occasionally they
forget to get off at the right floor but
are in too good humor to complain.
In casting about for a solution of
the mystery the average man would
look for the elevator girl. OF course.
Miss Blanche Weir is the engineer"
But. on second thought, it often hap
pens that people leave elevators run
by pretty and cheerful girls in "a
Crouch" So one turns to the ele-
vator itself and finds the answer in
the various comic sayings neatly
printed on cards and pasted up on the
elevator walls.
Some of them are borrowed" from
magazines and newspapers. Others are
acquired from individuals. Some of
them Miss Weir has coined herself.
Anyway, they throw a brighter aspect
on life and make the elevator dis
tinctively Individual among its kind.
Here are some of the quipa:
''If you want to win an argument,
keep quiet.
"A gentleman is one who doesn't
have to prove it,
ITO remove paint, sit on it,
To-day is the tomorrow you worried
about yesterday"
IAN freshman dies because they need
a new angel in heaven"
IF you want to kill time, why Lot
try working it to DEATH"
'It isn't dying an old maid that
worries the girls-it's living halfway
Some people are like spilled water
nothing to pick 'enl up by"
There are lots of queer people in
the world. I'm glad I'm not one OF
them"
"A friend is one who knows all about
you. but likes you just the same"
DO you know this man? In 1915
he Kept US out of war. In 1919 he
kept US out of sugar"
mo matter how rich you may be-
no matter how poor you may be
friends and happiness cannot be
bought"

all money invested in one> line, a fall
ure in that line was felt more keeiily
than if it was distributed in several
lines, some of which should show a
profit.
members of the Industrial commit
tee have agreed that an extensive
study of industrial possibilities is de-
sirable for Topeka business men and
for the citizens of Topeka and the
state.
Because of disrupted and tumultuous
industrial conditions in the large east
ern manufacturing centers. many of
the big eastern firms are beginning to
seek western locations for branch fac
tories, especially if production can be
accomplished as effectively in the west
as in the east
Mulvane a Sponsor.
Buck quoted the instances of the
Wolff Packing company and the Per-
lection Metal Silo company which had
been put on their financial legs thru
the efforts of John R. Mulvane.
He stated that there was an i'm
preston east of Kansas that Topeka
existed chiefly thru the Santa Fe and
the state offices. 1t was for this rea7
son that he has pleaded a more even
saturation- of industries, or a COM
amount of the goods it uses. Agri-
culture, cattle, and recently oil, are
the chief forms of endeavor upon
which all western business is con-
structed. But the industries are COM
ing westward, he declares Buck
mentioned two steel furnaces at Kan
sas City as an indication.
Mercantile establishme nts here have
been built on the turnover of demand
based on production in cattle raising
and in agriculture. Topeka, would
make even larger profits if it added
to this bulk, the weight of a sub
stantial industrial turnover.
Industrial men admit that in order
to induce growth along these lines it
will be necessary to show that money
can be made in industrial conversions
as safely and as surely as in agricul-
tural conversions.
Make Oil Equipment.
A bad cattle year hits the banker,
and reaches all industries thru the
banks. The financial loss to COM
munity would be less, Buck holds, IL
industries were more evenly dis
tributed He suggests that equipment
for tie oil fields are among things
that could be made in Topeka as well
as in the eastern states.
1t is the bankers business, Buck
points out, to understand cattle and
pect the bankers to make an indus
trial city. The remedy he offers is
for Topeka to build within itself on
the basis that a sound industrial plant
is a safe, profitable and good invest
ment.
S. E. Cobb declares that an indus
trial proposition based on sound prac-
tice with some capital and organiza-
ton back of it should have no trouble
in securing sufficient capital in To-
peka.
Whether or not it is possible to Sc
cure good financial support Tor inous-
trial plants in Topeka, one of the
largest manufacturers in the city this
week negotiated a loan of $4,000, in
a lump sum. with very little difficulty
in city where there is probably more
money, but also a greater understand
ing of industrial needs. Had 1t been
as easy matter to secure the finan-
cial backing in Topeka, there can be
no doubt that it would have been
obtained here.
