CONFESSION ALLEGED

NAPA, Cal, Dec. 6.-District At
torney Anglim declares that Ed.
Salzstad has confessed. Anglim
stated Salzstad attempted to lose his
identity and left his wife and two
children in a Wisconsin city. Salz-
stad was president of the Multi
phone Phonograph Company and it
is said that in his confession he
stated he saw the firm was goihc
to crash and decided to drop out oe
sight. He abandoned the plant and
visited an old school friend, sexton
of a cemetery at Lake Nebagem. The
sexton told him he had buried Allen
McFee. a man known to both of them,
and that they might use his body
for some purpose.
In the confession, Salzstad alleged
that he went to Superior, Wis, and
then the next morning returned to
the cemetery, which was on October
25 or 26, 1919, exhumed the body
from the grave of McFee, placed it
in a gravel pit, refilled the grave
and rented a house at the summer
resort on Lake Nebagom and os-
tensibly visited family on the
week-ends. He then moved the bod
and set fire to a straw mattress
in the house at the summer resort
which house was destroyed and the
charred remains found.
Anglim asserted Salzstad told him
a nation wide search was started
Salzstad was found in Napa in
company with a girl said to be his
wife, Mary Brown. The girl sa'
she was his stenographer, Dorothy
Anderson.
The case ia similar in many re-
spects to the Alex Kels case in Call
fornia.

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY Olive Roberts Barton

The days got colder and colder in
Squealy-Moo Land. Jack Frost and
all his fairy helpers went through
the corn-field. sweetening up the yell
low pumpkins that grew there. and
through grape arbors, co'oriag the
grapes a rich purple and making
them sweet too-and through the ap-
pie orchards, putting spice into each
winter apple, SO it would taste ex-
ira fine.
And as for the woods - they got
such a painting as never was be-
fore with reds and russets and yell
lows and browns.
But Farmer Brown locke d
thoughtful.
Winter was coming and he was
| trying to decide which ones of the
Squealy-Moo folk to sell and which
one to keep over the cold weather.
Y Now Mister Dodger knew what
was going on in Farmer Browns
mind, and he was worried.
He said So to Nancy and Nick,
and they talked it over and tried
to think of something to do to help
Farmer Brown out of his troubles,
and the barnyard folk as we'll.
Lets take walk, and perhaps
we can think better" suggested Mis-
ter Dodger, lighting his corn-silk
pipe and putting on his corn-husk
hat.
They walked through the corn
field and up the lane past the winter
wheat field that Charlie and Bob,
the big brown farm horses, had
helped to pillow. Then they went
through the pasture where the cows
were, and pretty soon they came to
the creek.
And who should be there but
Missez Duck and, Mister Drake and
al their fat children taking a bath.
"My, my! But we were dirty!"
called Missez Duck. 1--WE got into

hollow and we looked like chimney

Missez Duck, pointing with her bill.
"And you'll come to it,"

pretty soon they came to the place.
It wasn't q pretty place and noth-
ing much grew there except weeds.

LETTER FROM ALICE HAMILTON
TO MRS. JOSEPH GRAVES
HAMILTON

MOTHER DEAR:
First let me tell you the 4 Great
news. Betty stokiey is going to
marry titled Englishman this fall
and before the marriage she is going
to be presented at court. She tells
me that if l want to, she will try to
have me presented with her. .
Oh mother, don't you think can
Just imagine what it would mean
when / come home after being pre-
sented at court! Wouldn't lord it
over those Van Ressler girls; wha
have always been rather Ritzy with
me because father made his money
instead of. having it left to him.
l wouldn't exchange dear old dad
for their equity, crusty old father if
he were king instead Of senile old
curmudgeon who has to be almost
carried from hi; house to his club
and back again. Darling old dad is
a man, but for all that I'm vain
enough to want to put those snobs Of
Van Ressler girls in their places. {
Karl laughs at me when 1 talk
about them and he says all the nice
things he can think of about tho
youngest one, and of course that
makes me madden than ever, espe-
cially when Karl said, "You know,
Alice, we inheritors of money have
to stand up for our own class"
l know he doesn't mean to be
uppish when he says that. He is
just saying it to get my goat, for he
has often told me that he would
have been much better man and Of
much .more use to society if he had
had to earn his own living. He is
just wonderful to me over here.
Never pays any more attention to
any OF these fascinating English
girls than he does to little me.

REMOVAL OF
FIRE HAZARDS
BEING SOUGHT
Fire Prevention Committee,
as Part of Weeks Obser-
vance, Sends Out Letter

The fire prevention committee of
the Association Of Commerce is dis
tributing questionaires to merchants
covering numerous situations. The
information is to be gathered for
the fire chief, to aid him in elimin-
ating fire traps and to make for eff
ficiency in fire fighting.
The fire department planned to
send out the truck today with signs
on it calling on owners to eliminate
from their property all waste mater
ial and to remove all fire hazards.
"a a part of fire prevention week
| the committee made the following
statement: re
According to conservative esti-
mate at least $4,000 persons lost
their lives in the United States last
year as the result Of fires. Consid-
erably more than this number were
seriously injured from the same
| cause.
when we are told that most Of
these killed and injured were women
and children, that they were sacri-
ficed because of carelessness and
that this toll is increasing each year,
we realize that some definite steps
should be taken to halt th1 destruc-
ton.
From humane standpoint there
fore, if for no other, it is the duty
/ of every sane person to exercise par
| ticular care to prevent fires. Furth-
ermore, it is his duty to know what
to do when he discovers that fire
has started, Many lives and much
property would be saved annually if
the person who first saw the fire
had known how to call quickly for
proper assistance. We all realize
that the first few minutes after the
fire starts is the most important
Ntime in which to fight it.
when persons are assembled in
one building such IS school,, a pub
lie institution or factory it is adVis-
able that fire drills be held. Arrange
ments should be made to conduct
such drills at irregular intervals in
order that the occupants will obtain
l tHe udDII VI aHSWeIAu$ Tie oAofM
whenever it is sounded. The fire.
quency Of these tests will depend
upon the type Of building and the
number of persons occupying it.
Experience has shown that en-
/ ployees and school children become
interested in fire drills. They are
anxious to do their part in estab-
| fishing time record for emptying
their building or department. The
drill viii acquaint7 everyone Of the
| proper exit to be uled and will also
assure an orderly clearance in. the
case Of an actual fire.
| "The present week, which is being
observed as Fire Prevention Week,
/ presents an excellent opportunity
for stimulating interest in removal
Of fire hazards and for initiating
fire drills in, schools and other pub
lie buildings"
