FOR TRAMP As
CRIME SUSPECT

For Information of
Man at Springs.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. Aug.
so-one week after the murder OF
Elsie ]. Suite. when all other clues
had been dissipated into thin air.
Chief of Police H. d. Harper Issued
a police circular offering on the part
of the city of Colorado Springs a
reward of 5000 for information lead
ing to the arrest and conviction OF
the tramp seen in the vicinity OF
the murder house last Thursday
morning.
According to the police chief the
tramp seems the only person who
could have committed the brutal
murder which has baffled the off
GERS of several cities for days
and It is believed hat the hiking cos
tune affected by the man was adopt
ed to throw people off. He was
seen in the neighborhood early the
morning of the murder begging a
handout. declaring that he had been
thrown out of employment in the
Oklahoma oil fields and was on his
way to his home in Salt Lake City.
The chief has asked all tourists
and motorists who may have given
the mar n lift in his flight to check
the following description which is
today being broadcast throug hout
the west In an effort to a~pprehend
the man now believed to be the
Jack writer of the threatening
letters to the dead girl.
"Age about 20 to rs; height five
feet seven to nine: weight about 14o
pounds; slender build: complexion
yellow. or tanned; thin face. smooth
shaven; long thin fingers: red leath-
er puttees; khaki TROUSERS and shirt
badly solled; dar grey cap; wearing
an army knapsack which may have
contained cooking utensils and axe"
Chief Harper declares he believes
the story the tramp told of being
out of employment a fake pure and
simple and that the apprehension OF
the man will be a material factor
In clearing up the mystery.

Science

The names of Lohatchewsky,
Bolyai and Riemann, practically were
unknown until recently. Today
scientists and students Of higher
mathematics are giving them care
full consideration. The first named is
a Russian. the second Hungarian and
the third German. They developed
systems of geometry the opposite Of
those of Euclid and these systems
are as logical within themselves as
the ordinary and accepted geometry.
Their work generally has been re-
earded as q mathematical freak, in
teresting from the fact that weird
things can be proved by figures. One
of the ideas of this geometry is that
there is no such thing as a straight
line and that space may be curved
If. this is true lines that are called
straight In astronomical space may
have curvature unsupported in
Euclidean geometry.
A straight line drawn on the earth s
surface In reality becomes a great
circle The earth's surface is infinite
In the sense Of being endless. yet 1t
is limited. An idea along that line
applies to space. according to the nom
Euclidean geometries.

one of the first things that the pro-

should take up and solve Is the build
ing OF stadium at Notre Dame.
In mid-season the football team or

A few leaders, with a little energy
and big vision, could easily work out
q program that would result. before
next fall, in making this city the foot.
ball center of the Middle West.
Notre Damo furnishes the team.
The country will furnish the crowds.
South Bend ought. even as good mer-
chant Of itself, to furnish the stadium.
