today following the discovery of the
dead body of africa Picone, in the
same room where a week ago he
killed his pretty cousin, Cammella
Maccanico, because she was going
to marry another man Picone's
body was found on the floor of the
room with four bullet wounds thru
the chest Two of the bullets had
passed through the heart. Under
his body was found a 25Jcalibre
mauser automatic pistol of the type
carried by German army officers
during the war The police were in
clined to believe at first that Picone,
stricken with remorse, had returned
to the scene OF the crime and there
taken his life, but the fact that four
bullets had taken effect In vital
places, two Of them piercing the
heart, caused the revenge theory to
be considered. The police believe
the murderer had been lured to the
scene Of his crime and then shot,

sun was not found.
Spurred to action by the report
Of the shooting Of their fellow citi-
Zens, Buckhannon people turned
out to hunt for the criminals, This
morning Sheriff A. ]. Zickafoose,
who is personally directing the
search, stated that a hundred and
fifty armed men are combing the
country surrounding the point of
the shooting and that every road
and cross road for seven miles is
heavily guarded. He states that
there is hardly possibility Of the
boys getting away.
Arrested Here
Events leading up to the shoot
ing are of considerable interest in
Clarhsburg, inasmuch as the two
boys who did the shooting were ar
rested here Tuesday morning about
seven o'clock by city police officers
on a charge of stealing an automo-
bile and held throughout the day
in the city jail. The Buckhannon
officers, together with A. C. West
fall, owner Of the car which was
stolen from Buckhannon last week,
were in the city Tuesday afternoon
and witnessed the flying exhibition
there before starting for their homes.
While the youths were at the
cita Jail, they were voluabie in
answering questions. Additional
suspicion was attached to their
presence in Clarksburg because OF
the murder of Carl Spence in KEEL
ly Hill and many questions about
where the youths spent the night
were put to them, but although they
were caught in many lies, nothing
OF a definite nature to connect
them with the local murder could
be brought out and it was finally
decided to allow them to be taken
to BuckhannOn to be tried on the
charge Of stealing the automobile.
According to the story the boys
gave names as Harvey and Ralph
Young and their home as near Chi
cago, III. In the morning when they
were arrested they said their
names were Harvey Jones and
Ralph Young, but later they said
they were brothers, They said
they had been with circus until
last Thursday when they left it at
Cumberland, Md. Here, they said,
they bought the stolen automobile
and started on trip. They were
traced through various points by
the license number on the automo.

Birmingham Missionary
 Tells of Famine in China

lief. Some of these travelling in families succeed in reaching the city, sometimes to get relief and too often otherwise. Others are not so fortunate.
 Rev. Mir, Harris writes of the exper~ fences of these unfortunate ones, whom he says die on the way or resort to the eXpedient of. leaving the weakest in the attempt to save those who can survive. Frequently the parents tie their children on the trip to trees, leaving them to starvation. Then there are the bandits resulting from the situation who prey upon the travellers and loot the cities. Rev. Harris says that the robberies are innumerable.
 What has always seemed most remark able to the minds of the missionaries in China is the absolute compacency with which the rich, for China has some iin- mensely wealthy families, sit by and watch their fellow countrymen perish by their side. One is never out of sight of a dead Chinaman, writes Rev. Mir. Har- ris. and yet he says that among the rich no concern over the suffering is shown, whatever, though recently through the ardorous persuasion of the missionaries some of them have come to the real- ization that their untrymens starva- ton is something more than an inter- esting incident. and relief of very limited proportions has come from Chinese sources
 One of Rev. MT. Harris letters sayss And with all of this China is a country of immense natural wealth. There iA more iron, copper and coal yet unmined in China that could be used by the world in thousands of years. The people are not using these resources of wealth. [ think that if the United States paid tha missionaries out of national money 't would be an economic gain aside from the purposes of religion, for the mission- ary has been the initial who had opened up what commerce and trade that has been opened with China"
