The statement Of Police Commits

last night that he denoted Daniel
Costlgan from Inspector to Captain
for "inetficiency and dlsloyalty to

resentment OF Costigans friends and
associates.

BROKER IS KILLED
BY MILITARY MAN
ONCE HIS FRIEND
Major Griffith, Former Provost
Marshal of Montreal Mill
tary District, the Slayer.
HAD ODD OBSESSION.
Believed His Victim Had Tele-
pathic Influence Over Him
He Gives Himself Up.

MONTREAL, Jan. 15.-Major Rob
ert Griffith, former Provost Marshal
OF the military district of Montreal,
is a prisoner at Police Headquarters
on his own confession that he shot
and killed his former intimate friend
William Holland, manager of Mac
Dougall Bros, brokers IN st. Sacra-
ment street. yesterday afternoon.
Major Grifith has been recently un-
der treatment for a mental disorder
at a hospital at Guelph, Ont He
insists the killing was justified by a
tyrannical telepathic power pos
sessed over him by Holland.
Griffith, who, like his victim, was
prominent in financial and social cir
cles Of the city, has been devoted to
st'1y OF the occult for many years.
or late he became estranged from
Holland and complained to the Rev.
Father Holland. brother of the
broker, DR.. ]. J. McGovern, his own
brother-in-law, and others that he
could no longer endure the mystic
rious domination OF his thoughts and
actions by Holland.
He asserted that Hollands control
persisted in full effect while Holland
was asleep so that Major Griffith him
self was unable to sleep while Hol-
land was waking and roamed the
street all night in the effort 70 bring
on an exhaustion which would de-
feat the others mental influence and
give him rest.
A shot was heard in Hollands Of
flee soon after the close OF the stock
market. A moment later the broker
staggered into a nearby room and
fell to the floor dead.
1t was believed he had killed him
self and the police, puzzled by the
absence of a weapon, were searching
the office for 1t minutely, when Major
Griffith walked into Police Head
quarters, went TO a telephone and
announced to his brother in a calm
voice that he had shot Holland He
then turned and gave himself up to
police lieutenant, saying he sup
posed there would be formalities to
go through"
Both men were members OF the
| Canada Council OF the Knights Of Co
lnnbus, and their one time friend
ship for each other was the subject
of general comment
Corroboration OF reports that Major
Griffith believed Holland had hypno-
tlzed him was supplied to the police
to day by Rev Father Holland OF
| Quebec, brother Of the dead man.
The clergyman said Major Grlttlul
| had written to him complaining OF a
| hold his brother had on him, contend
! ing that he had mesmerized him at an
amateur theatrical performance az 81
| Agathe last year. When Father Hol'
| land informed his brother OF this, thC
| latter wrote him TO ignore the Major
| characteriHng him as either crazy OIL
drunk, the priest added.
Major Griffith Is said 10 have suf'
fered heavily on the Montreal Stock
| Exchange recently, and was alleged tc
have written several threatening let.
ters to Holland, who was formerly Soc
retary OF the exchange, a short time
ago the Major was sent TO Homewooc

enable him to say goodbye to tempor-
ary shifts in farm practices.
Feeds and feeding problems will be
simplified, for the experienced feeder
knows that corn and oats alone do
not provide complete ration and that
it is necessary to have more variety
and more protein than these two pro-
ducts yield. The high freight rates
are greatly restricting the movement
of all grains and compounded feeds.
The farmer and dairyman want to use
ready mixed feeds. In reviewing and
comparing the results of his feeding
practices he finds that the greatest
production of milk was obtained when
complete feeds were fed and that
straight corn and oats rank very low
in comparison as an economical feed
to use for milk production. The one
idea that successful stockmen sub
scribe to is that ration must be pal
atable and nutritious and that these
qualities are present in combinations
compounded from a variety of grains
and by-products. Hence the growing
popularity of ready mixed rations for
farm live stock and poultry. Even
the corn belt farmer who is finishing
steers realizes that corn and oats
alone will not prompt his feeders to
make the most rapid or economical
gains. He finds that sweet feeds are
splendid apetizers and that molasses
mixtures are essential and profitable
to use, even at the present low values
of straight home grown grains. Such
feeds prompt the animals to drink
more water, shed off well and as a re-
suit of more complete assimilation
of food, their coats are sleek and at
tractive and when marketed the cat
tie bring higher prices. Sweet feeds
satisfy the daily requirements Of
horses and since they are safe and
easy to feed they satisfy both the
wishes Of the feeder and the require
ments of the work horse.

WHO'S IT,


Who is the goat in our little burg?
The taxpayers scared to say word;
And just sit still upon their rights
While taxes are soaring out of sight.
Our city bonds were raised along
Till they reached three hundred thous-
and strong;
And then to get the light plant bossed
Twenty-seven thousand of that was
lost
They have squandercd funds and city
cash
Till property owners are eating hash,
The council all are money mad,
They gave four jobs to the city dad.
And pay four times the labor scale
We wonder why they're not in jail
And then for fear they lose their graft,
Their compromise would make you
laugh.
The system is rotten we can't deny;
The town is wet where it ought to be
dry;
They only pretend to no avail,
Bootleggers never stay tput) in jail.
And even that's not telling all
School kids play poker in the city hall.
And shackle the loser in the widest
play
Which shouldn't be done on Sabbath
day.
In two years more if they get any
worse
They will bond our city and buy a
hearse.
It's getting serious, that's no joke
Poor taxpayers are going broke.
For taxes are soaring to the sky
And all the rents will be SO high
That we can't live, poor ignorant dubs,
Unless we are holding city jobs.
The light plant is big, grand. and new.
They pay four men where they just
work two.
If the money they wasted had just
been saved
Our little city would now be paved.
We voters would change it if we could
But voting don't do any good.
Still we can all be thankful yet
We won't have to pay an election bet
