Escaped 3 Times
From. an Asylum,

DR.. Markoe's Slayer Was
Committed to Minnesota
Institution From Duluth
From, a Special Correspondent

FERGUS FALLS, Mimi. April 1s.-
i. Thomas w. Simpkins, who shot and
killed DR.. James w. Markoe to-day in
St. Georges Church, New York, also
was known as Thomas w. Shelley. He
was born in England, where he worked
as printer and from whence he emil
grated to Canada. After roaming
went to Duluth, from which city he
was first committed to the insane
asylum here.
After his second escape from the in
stitution he was confined on the third
floor, but got away a third time by
braiding his sheets into a rope, by
which he lowered himself to the
ground. Efforts to recapture him
failed. subsequently, requests for his
description were received from the
police of Milwaukee and Chicago, for
what reason was never made known.
Smpkin was insane on religion. He
read the Bible and prayed almost con-
stantly, but was jolly and good natured
and never showed any homicidal or
suicidal tendencies here. He was we'll
read and we'll informed on many sub
jects and, aside from his religious
mania, he was extremely shrewd and
quick -witted and possessed of remark
able cunning. After his commitment
here it is understood his wife and two
children left Duluth and returned to
London.

The 500-mile race on the indianapolis

a Monroe, built in this country, and de-
signed by his brother Louis, finished

per hour, with Rene Thomas In IA
French Ballot In second place, nearly
six miles behind.
Ralph De Palma, In Ballot, after
leading for nearly half the distance,
with a lead Of five miles and less than
thirty to go, developed leak in his
gasoline tank and his car burst into
flames Yet by superhuman effort he
was able to finish In fifth place, amid
the widest acclaim OF the spectators
for his plucky efforts. This was DE
Palmas second misfortune, since In

broke when scarcely a half mile from
the finish and he was unable to finish,

When Carpenter landed In this coun-
try this past spring he was received
with widest acclaim by the pubic and
sporting writers alike, for he was
great war hero and bore magnificent
record as fighter. But the tone has
gradually changed since he. instead Of
fighting, has gone into circus and into
the movies and has welcome has be-
come rather lukewarm. But now,
stung no doubt by the taunts that he
would rather act than fight, he has
been matched to meet Battling Le-
whisky Of Philadelphia for the light
heavyweight championship.
In Levinsky he Is meeting man who
will certainly find out his merits as
heavyweight fighter, for the Battler

are too heavy for mlddleweight and

knocked out by Jack Dempsey after IA

LOWER PRICES CUT DOWN
FRUIT VEGETABLE SHIPMENTS

WASHINGTON, Sept. Follower
prices have cut down the car-lot
shipments Of fruits and vegetables
about one-fifth, said an announcement
Saturday by the department of agri-
culture.
Prices might be expected to react
under the moderate car-lot supplies"
said the statement, but nearby pro-
duct has been so plentiful that quo
tations have hung around low points
except on lines that are neal the end
of the active seasons.
Cabbage has been low because the
yield is large everywhere and most
markets are well supplied locally.
The bad feature in the apple situa-
! ton is the lack of active demand for
Gull apples. Average wholesale prices
in city markets for the best grades
of leading fall varieties are around So

formation which will be reported
back to the state units, and from
| which it is hoped that a plan can be
worked out whereby the staple prod
ucts of the middle west, including
grain and live stock. can be marketed
on more equitable basis serving as a
benefit to both producer and consum-
er.
THE first big step in the solution
of the problem said President
Brown, lis to effect closeup organ
ization in the way Of membership. Be-
fore tackling any cooperative plan
which would necessitate the solid
backing of all of the grain producing
and live stock producing states of the
country, it is absolutely necessary
that our membership in all Of these
states be brought up to the highest
possible point. Dealing with several
million farmers ON cooperative
marketing plan presents quite a diff
ferent proposition than where Spe-
cial commodity is being handled
through an organization which repre-
sents only few thousand producers,
such as we found in California. By
this I have reference to the nut grow
ers, citrus growers and various other
growers who have organized and are
marketing their products with sue
cess. 1t has been taken up there by
commodities because these do not
have a close rela ton with each 9TH
err"
President Brown said that, while
the delegates gathered quite bit of
information which might serve as a
working basis to evolve a system
which could be adapted to the condi-
lions as they are presented in the
