NO TAXRETURNS

City Clerk and Treasurer E. j.
Eldridge is worried but he opines
that if the property owners of the

Der Of tax payers who made returns
last year have done so this year, and
the time for making returns expires

penalty is double taxation.
Last year, according to the city
records, 1,170 whites made returns,
but so far only 486 have reported,
leaving 684 yet to make returns. OF
$40 negroes who made returns last
year only 440 have come forward
this year, leaving 400 unreported.

Slayers OF Birds Are
Warned By Warden

Men and boys of this community
are killing non-game birds and rob.

state and federal laws, according to
w. T. McMath, county game warden,
and unless they desist prosecutions
will be begun, he says. And cases

If the state courts, he announces.
"I am informed that boys are
breaking up the nests of birds and
killing the songsters with their small
guns said the warden. "The boys
are destroying the nesets of and kill
ing mocking birds and others not
listed as game birds. Men, / have
learned, have been shooting black
martins within the last few days,
merely for the sport Of it. These Vi
olations must stop, and if the Offend
ers do not fear our state laws the
federal laws will be invoked. very
much regret that it is necessary to
issue this warning, but our birds must
be protected"

if there are riffs in the line of my
thoughts, just blame it on the poor
light. People can not seem to realize
the convenience and Importance OF
public utilities until a time like this,
when there is no light, no water, no
gas and no transportation. The mat
ter of sanitation may become serious
for not only is the sewage system out,
but the dead animals, such as cows
and horses, are becoming noticeable.
In the ice plant alone, which is next
to the gas plant, 48 horses were
drowned in one barn. The gas plant
lost three. A dead COW and a dead
calf were also washed on the plant S
property, so you can get some idea
of the number of dead animals lying
around.
''The water receded sufficiently

TIRELESSCHASE

SLAYERS Wins
Widow of Keber Admits
Crime F ather Her
Nemesis

CLEVELAND, June 10. Mrs.
Eva Katherine Kaber has confessed
that her husband, Dan f. Kaber, was
murdered with her knowledge in their
Lakewood home two years ago and
Marian McCardle, her daughter, has
confirmed much of her mothers story,
the Cleveland News announces this
morning on information by telephone
from New York by Chief of Police
Christensen of Lakewood to County
Prosecutor Stanton.
The imam with the cap" now in
custody here, is the man who actually
committed the murder, according to
the published story.
A woman whom Mrs. Kaber says
planned the murder was arrested
here early today. She refused to
make statement.
Three generations of women stand
indicted ON first degree counts for
the murder of Dan Kaber, publisher,
in his Lakewood home, July 18, 1919.
This circumstance is unique in the
annals of American criminology.
The women are Mrs. Eva Cath
crime Kaber, SO, widow of the mur-
dered man; her daughter by for
mer marriage, Marian McArdle, 10,
and her mother, Mrs. Mary Brickel,
50.
Kaber, an invalid, was stabbed "a
times in his bed at midnight. Enough
arsenic was found in his stomach to
have killed three men.
Mrs. Brickel, in signed statement,
declared that Mrs. Kaber had asked
her to visit the Kaber home and "do
some dirty work" She declares that
Mrs. Kaber said, Il am going to have
Dan killed.
Mrs. McArdle then admitted that
she broke open buffet drawer with
an ice pick to give the appearance
of a visit by burglars.
Both Mrs Brickel and Miss Nc
Ardle deny they witnessed the stab
bing of Kaber.
The triple arrest follows two years
of unrelenting pursuit by Moses Ka-
Der, aged father of the victim. lie
dedicated the rest Of his life to ap-
pretending his sons murderers.
Every clew, no matter how slight,
was followed by private detectives:
Each night these detectives reported
to Kaber and he pieced their evidence
together.
Then he submitted his findings to
police of Lakewood and Cleveland
and the indictments followed.

THE SALVATION ARMY

Time was, when the Salvation Army was considered more or less of joke. Its bizarre methods of attracting audiences, drumming and shouting. shaking of tambourines and almost erotesque street par. ades, have made it the target for endless criticism and abuse. But the Army has not only outwoFn criticism of its methods, except on the part of few who fail to sense the deep sincerity underlying theip peculiaritfes, but has firmly estab- lished itself in the respect and ad- miration of all right thinking citi- zens.
 The Salvation Army's service during the World War was enough in itself to win for it the everlast- ing gratitude of humanity. Dur ing that conflict it's members at the front, (and they were legion,) sought neither comfort nor rest. Tireless and unafraid they went about their self appointed task of bringing cheer to the fighting forces. Their cheer was of a very material nature, for while they dispensed spiritual consolation when and where 1t was needed, the service which has sndeared them in the hearts of all members of the Allied Forces was the timely succor ex- tended to the cold and hungry, to the physically exhausted.
 Before the war broke cut the Army was dGing work of rescue and aid that no other organization would even attempt, but it remain cd for the crucical fire test of war to give theln a chance to prove to the world how high in sterling a orth they really assayed. The x Jult of this tes shows that they Ire hieh-erade all the way through.

The Or phan, the homeless, the social out cast, the victim of misfortune. find ih then real friend. They are an army of deeds, not worlds, of prao- tice, not theory:
 They are entitled to the strong est financial support that every in- dividual can give them. There is t15 thought among their members 6f individual tain, The funds they gather are used to help the needy along dhtil they can stand on their o#h feet-to make good citizens cut of human deFeliets.
