 Editor of Pulaskian:
 We are glad to see such articles published in print from a citizen of Bayou Meto Township. believe it comes as near describing the condi- tions of the farming class of people as anything have read in some time. It seems that we have got more laws than money. We need good laws to protect our citizens and to carry on our government in the right form, which will give equal rights to all men. The road proposition seems to be one that Is hard to solve. l mo- tice the condemnation of the road system IS getting to be very serious. Good roads connecting the city and rural districts together are fine things, but if we spend all our money to build roads under the depressed conditions and have none left to buy autos, wagons and teams, farm ma chinery and farms what benefit will the roads be to us?
 The farmers are a loyal class of people who always carry their part of the burden of the nation when it is possible to do so. But under the present financial panic a large per cent of the farmers will be unable to meet their obligations for the past year We hope normal conditions will be brought about soon, so we can proceed with our business in a progressive way.
 It seems that the oil fever has struck Tate Mill and the surrounding neighborhood and can almost see the derrieks going up, with a gusher of oil overflowing the place and filling the beautiful stream of Bayou Meto. We hope our dreams will come true. Then maybe we will have enough money to pay our debts and buy us a suit of oyeralls.

CHICAGO, Sept. IL. - Harvey w.
Church. confessed slayer of b j.
Daugherty and Carl Ausmus, tonight
made new confession to Chief Of Po-
lice Charles c. Fitzmorris and Chief
Investigator Ben Newmark of the
State Attorneys Office. He admitted
he had two confederates In the kill
ings.
Leon Parks, a garage employee and
comrade Of Church, was confronted by
the youthful slayer. Search for an
other man is under way. His name
and address are known. Meanwhile
Church was with Fitzmorris and New
ark and undergoing perhaps the most
severe grilling he has yet faced.
One OF the objects is to get to the
bottom OF numerous rumors which
have been current that many other
serious crimes might be traced to the
young slayer. The police are engaged
in running down a rumor tonight to
for the death of two new victims.
Detectives were sent to Church's
house on Fulton street. where Daugh-
erty and Ausmus were slain. to dig up
the back yard, under the garage, and

The new investigation was begun at

motive being the desire for possession

night of thu murder.
Chief Fitzmorris, Coroner Hoffman
and officials Of the States Attorneys Of
flee declared their belief that Church Is
shielding some one accomplice or accom-
plices. Norton opposes them In the be-
lief that Church killed both men ana
disposed of their bodies unaided.
Acting on instructions from States
Attorney Grove, the case was rushed to
the Grand Jury by Assistant states
Attorneys Wharton and Jonas True
bills are expected Tuesday. They were
to have been voted Immediately but, be-
ca use of the absence OF Coronors physi-
clans, whose testimony was deemed
necessary. the hearing was postponed
The theory that Church's aged mother
had helped the boy In disposing OF the
bodies was advanced by States Attorney
Grove 1T Is not believed" declared
Grove, ''that Mrs Church had anything
to do with the actual murders. but that
she may have aided her son after learn
Ing of the crime"
The father of young Church was in
formed of his sons confession early this
morning. He wept. but recovered suffi-
ciently to go to breakfast with Mrs.
Church, police matron and the detec-
tive sergeants who have been keeping
them under surveillance. Mrs. Church
was not told of the statement that had
cleared the mystery of the double mur-
der.
As the case stands now Church, youth
full and slight of build. Is the confessed
murderer OF the larger men in one of
the most savage crimes in Chicago police
chronicles, and for no other reason the
investigators can evolve than that he
wanted to show off as the owner OF an
expensive automobile.
He strangled the two statesmen with

and then set out for the village OF his
birth In the new automobile. All this
according to his confession.

presented bill Church lured him to the

While extra police were rushed to
protect Church from possible injury at

The jury impanelled to hear the evil

Ausmus case also. The bodies of the
victims lay on marble slabs In the room
adjoining the chapel where the inquiry
was held. A glimpse Of the white sheets
that covered them could be obtained oc-
casionally by the slayer. as attaches of
the undertaking company passed In and
out.
During the inquest young Church
looked on with the detached interest OF a
casual spectator. He exchanged laugh

joined Detective Sergeant Fred Tapscott
