Washington, Jan. 31.-Ninety-
seven persons, according to a final
and official list issued today by
the District of Columbia author
tiles, lost their lives in the col
lapse Saturday night, under bur-
den Of snow of the Knickerbocker

Washington, Jan. 31.-While
the city began the burial of its

tion of the Knickerbocker theater
disaster and the senate was ex-
pected to take action on the reso-
luton of Senator Capper, republi-
can, Kansas, proposing an inde-
pendent inquiry by that body.
A resolution for the same pur-
pose also was pending in the

announced that body would not
authorize an inquiry, pending the
outcome Of those by local author
tiles.

Of 1873 injured, 62 remained in
hospitals today, with a dozen re-

Between 35 and 40 Salemites
listened In Open-mouthed wonder
as the advantages of the Isle OF
Palmito del Verde, Mexican para
disc de luxe, were rehearsed last
night by the promoters Of the
American colony there, at meet
ing held in the Marion hotel.
Only one distressing note was
struck during the whole meeting
After February Is, when the Sa-
lem party will go in body to in
wade Mexico, taking with 1t some
of the Marion county business
peers and government officials
the price of the acre lots on the

body can possibly be induced tc

The advantages Of living in
Mexico are many and may be set
down as follows:
Native Patriotism Inviting.
Patriotism: The greaser is
patriotic. His patriotism isn't the
calibre of the Yankee. It's more
volatile-somewhat explosive.
2-Education: 1t is very popu-

3-Climate: Far enough south

cal toasts, but close enough to
northern civilization for April
showers during July, August and
September.
4-Products: Cocoanuts, cattle
and crocodiles.
Sports: Golfing and yacht

Capital journal. (Salem, Or.) 1919-1980, 1922-01-31

6-Labor: Cheap and plentiful,
wages from rs to so cents day.
Taxes: Low. Under present
conditions 5000 an acre land is
taxed about rs cents per acre.
Five hundred people are settled
down there already. Cocoanut
raising, the principal industry, is
the easiest thing in the world.
There is no cultivation, little pick
ing and the demand for cocoanut
butter in this country supplies an
unlimited market.
If, however, the purchaser does
not care for cocoanut raising, he
can SOW a certain specie of. grass
seed on his $50 land and double
its value. Caring nothing for
either, he can raise tomatoes and
market them at Sc a box, some
where. If not interested in any
of the numerous agricultural pur-
suits, he can entertain himself
with the crocodiles, or browse in
the lazy tropical sun on the wide
expanse OF beach. Bathing suits
are preferably red, so the dis
cussion ran last night at the meet
ing.
Smothered in History. "
For students who are interested
in history, Palmito del Verde is
part of the old Ponce de Leon es-
tate and abounds in historical ma
terial. 1t has been handed down
from generation to generation,
passed through the fuedal age be-
fore Mexico ever thought of hav-
ing a president; steered through
the dangerous, but straight course
of the iron age Of Diaz; failed to
strike shoals during the revolu-
tionary period Of villa, Carranza
and Obregon, and passed into the
hands of American promoters dur
ing the latter period.

Crazed Negro
Battles With
Cops For Hour

Boston, Mass, Jan. 31.-Patrol-
man Daniel ]. McShane, world
war veteran, died today of wounds
received when Renzy Murray,
negro, 81 years Of age, stood off a
siege of sixty police officers in his
home in the south end in the
early morning hours. Several per-

raigned on a charge of murder,
pleaded not guilty and was held

self to fire when she told him
to do so.
Boston, Jan. 31.-Sixty patrol
men armed with riot guns, battled
more than an hour early today
against Renzy Murray, a negro,
who barricaded in his home in the
south end, shot and seriously
wounded two patrolmen, negress
and a negro, and set fire to bed
in which an infant lay. Murray
surrendered uninjured when a.
dozen policemen broke down the
door of the house.
The trouble began when Muir
ray elected Mrs. William Jackson,
a negress, a tenant, and fired sew
eral shots at her.
Patrolmen Dalton and McShane
attempted to enter the house and
McShanew as shot in the stomach.
Another bullet wounded Dalton in
the cheek.
Mrs. Jackson's husband, holding
his baby in his arms, was shot
twice by Murray. The child fell
on a bed and Murray set fire to it,
Jackson said. The infant was
rushed to a hospital suffering
from burns. Mrs. Julia Scott, a
neighbor, was struck in the hand
by a bullet.

PARISH MAKING
SLOW RECOVERY
STATES ATTORNEY, WOUNDED
BY CONViCTS, STILL SUFFER-
ING CONSIDERABLE PAIN.

Sioux Falls, Aug. 29-The condi-
ton of M. l.. Parish, states attorney
of Jones county, who was severely
wounded by the four convicts, who
were recaptured last Friday, was re-
ported last night to be slowly I'M
pital at Mitchell, where he is under
medical care.
Many small leaden pellets are still
in the attorneys body, but some are
being extracted each day. Some he
probably will carry to his death bed
The one wound which is giving the
physicians grave concern, however,
is in the head. One of the shots is
lodged back of the eye and has not
been removed yet. Mr.. Parish suf-
fers considerable pain from this par
ticular wound but his physicians
think it will not prove fatal.
He rested comfortably last night
after spending a restless and uncom-
Portable afternoon, Miss Eloira Mel
son, hissprivate nurse, declared last
night. His general physical condi-
tion is favorable she added. Physi-
clans have not dared to remove the
shot up to the present time and If
his condition remains as it has for
the past two days they will not do
so for some time. If his condition r.
mains favorable as it has during the
last two days the wounded man may
be able TO leave tie hospital in
about week, but will need to return
Miss Nelson added. 1t will probably
be two or three weeks. however. be-
fore he will be able to leave the ir-
stitution permanently, she added.
Mr.. Parish talks very little about
the exciting incident, and seems din-
inclined to discuss it, Miss Nelson
declared. He appears to be very
drowsy and dozes frequently.
ole Forman, Joe Teel, and j. q.
King, escaped convicts who were re
captured last Friday north of Wall,
have now spent two days i'm "soli-
tary' confinement at the peniten-
itentiary. Their rations consist of
two slices of bread and a quart of
water a day and the length of time
this treatment will continue has not
been fixed as yet.
That the three men are criminallv
insane and require special treatment
is the belief of Warden Jameson. At
present time there are no facilities
at the penitentiary for the handling
of these cases and it is expected that
this matter will be taken up at the
next meeting of the board of ehari-
ties and corrections September 6.
Visiting is again permitted at the
penitentiary after the disturbance of
the past 10 days.

BABY IS SLAIN;
WOMEN HELD
SENSATIONAL CASE DEVELOPS
AT MOBRlDGE AFTER BODY
IL FOUND In RIVER.

Mobridge, Aug. 29-The body of
Missouri river, three miles southeast
of Mobridge, and an investigation
followed that led to the arrest of
Mrs. Chas. f. Wager and her sister
Miss Evelyn Galbraith, both of this
city, on charge of murder. Mrs.
Wager waived preliminary hearing
and has been taken to the county Jail
at Selby to await her trial at thesfal
term of circuit court and the hearing
of the Galbraith girl has been post
poned temporarily on the showing by
by her attorney, A. A. Brown, that
her physical condition would not
permit of her appearing for trial at
once. In the meantime she is in the
custody of the sheriff.
The baby whose body was found
in the river is thought to be the
child that was born to the Galbraith
girl on Tuesday, August Is. a. the
Mobridge hospital, and the testimony
at the coroners' inquest appeared TO
establish this. The baby was given
to Mrs. Wager at the hospital on
Tuesday evening the understanding
being that she was to adopt it, and
that was the last seen of the child
until the body Of an infant, that it
is claimed answers the same de-
scription, was found in the Missouri
river on Saturday Mrs Wage. ad-
mitted at the inquest that she had
taken the infant on Tuesday night
to point two miles east of Mobridge
and left 1t by the roadside.
The body of the child was found
by the G. A. Robinson family of Mo
bridge, who were enjoying a picnic
on the river about three miles south
east of Mobridge. Little Donald, one
of the Robinson children, while fish
ing in the river, found the body and
pulled it to shore. Word was sent
to Mobridge and DR.. A. v. Rock and
Grover Hand went TO the scene and
removed the body to the Miles I'm
dertaking parlors, wher an autopsy
was held by DR.. Rock, DR.. Twining
and DR.. Lowe. The examination, in
their opinion, showed that the child
had been struck at the base of the
skull and that death probably was
caused by a blow rather than by
drowning.
