Beaumont Tex, Jan. 2.-Arrestci at
noon on New Years Day, Mrs.
Lillian Knox, widow OF the late Hiram
Knox, millionaire lumber man, spent
the rest of the day in the Sabine coun-
ty Jail at Hemphill on a charge of muir
dering her husband. She submitted to
arrest without protest and saw no one
while in her cell except her servants.
Hiram Knox was found dead in his
bed on the morning of November 20,
bullet hole through his head. Suicide
was at first advanced as the cause Of
his death, but ten days later Justice OF
Peace W. ii. Pratt, acting as coroner,
returned a verdict of murder but did
not fix the crime on anyone.
RumOrs Follow Verdict.
A multitude of rumOrs followed the
coroner's verdict, eliminating yesterday
in the arrest of Mrs. Knox. She was
arrested as she returned TO her home in
Hemphill after spending the holidays
in Beaumont.
Preliminary hearing for Mrs. Knox
}, will be held at Hemphill tomorrow
morning before Justice Pratt.

last night that there will be other ar

might be implicated in the crime. say

Mr.. Knox was one OF the wealthiest
men in Texas in the lumber business
He inherited an estate worth nearly

Mrs. Knox was likewise of generous
nature and her liberality was known
throughout this section of the state.
Her Christmas-time giving and dOna-
lions were annual events in Hemphill
and the nearby saw mill town of East
Mayfield. She gave with a lavish hand

Christmas and continued her custom

PIGEONS RELEASED
HERE MONDAY WITH
RESULTS Of DRIVE
Garry Message of Money
Raised by MetkOdists for
Waco OrphanGge.

Eight carrier pigeons, bearing the
results of Christmas offerings in the
the various districts of the West Texas
conference for the benefit Of the orphan
age at Waco, are winging their way
home today. With bits of paper at
tached to their wings announcing con-
tributions from six Of the nine districts
amounting t. $9229.14, the pigeons were
released at Travis Park Methodist
Church shortly before noon, Monday. by
r. II. Seefeld, district manager in the
presence of q large number of church
workers.
1t was hoped that reports would be
received from all of the nine districts in
the conference by ~ o'clock but three
Of the districts for some reason failed TO
get their reports in on time.
The thirteen churches comprising the
San Antonio district contributed a total
Of S1471.32, it was announced by Mr.
Seefeld. The largest contribution came
from the San Marcos district where one
family alone gave $1,000.
Texas Methodists are attempting 10
raise $4,000 by Christmas offerings to
complete the required sum for building
an addition to the Waco Orphanage.
Mr.. Seefeld expressed the belief Monday
that n final tabulatiOn Of contributions
would show the required amount raised.
The pigeons released here Monday
were a part of seventeen sent from the
loft at Waco sever.l days ago to De re-
leased at different parts Of the state.
IL is expected that they will reach Waco
within three hours flying time. Orphans
at the home will be waiting in the loft
to receive the, pigeons and unfasten the
quills tied beneath their wings in which
are the slips Of paper announcing the
results.

BEWARE OF THE SHARPERS

The Government at Washington has
found 1t necessary to send out a warn
ing to all the people to beware of the
many operators who are engaged IN
taking money and giving nothing but
worthless paper and junk for it. The
vigorous campaign that has been made
against these sharpers by the Govern
ment Savings System in connection
with its sale Of Treasury Savings
Certificates has served to curb them
to some extent, but they are irrepres-
sible, and this spring they are OPP
Grating with new tricks, but have the
same old fakes for sale. Wherever
there is money these swindlers are to
be found. Once in while some one
of them does something which enables
the Government to lay hands upon
him, but for the most part they are
sleek enough to avoid being caught

MAKING TOAST ELECTRICALLY
IN HOTELS

The ong pronged toasting fork of
grandmother's day has been crowded
out by a number of electrical devices
for toasting bread. In large hotels
and cafes where hudred or more
slices Of toast are in demand at the
same moment, these devices are
sometimes in the form Of small ovens
with a hundred or more wire COM
partments into which bread slices are
inserted This rack or compartment
moves slowly through the oven in
which the heating elements exert the
same even heat on both sides. At
one end of the oven the bread slices
are placed in the rack and at the 9TH
er end they are removed toasted. An
automatic electric toaster OF this type
is capable of turning out 1000 slices
Of toast an hour.

close scrutiny, there are some othei
matters which have developed very
recently of sufficient importance tc
warrant this letter.
| For example, there is a well-orgar-
lied association of propagandists,
with headquarters in New York City,
whose sole interest is conferred in the
distribution in the United States Of
foreign cane sugar in competition
with American sugars. This associa-
ton, by broadcasting false and mali
cfous reports, and by other question
able practices, is attempting to seri-
ously cripple, If not destroy, the beet
sugar industry.
Their latest move is to stir up
trouble between the beet-grower and
the sugar companies in the various
producing districts, by trying to make
the farmer believe that the tariff on
sugar is Of no special benefit to him,
since he is not getting any more for
his beets under tn tariff duty of $1.76
pr cwt than he received under a rate
Of $3.50 previously in force, and while |

DceIS.
1t is a pity that a real American
industry is allowed to be pilloried and
the public deceived by such unfair
propaganda, but, unfortunately, sucli
has been the case. The management
of this Company is doing all it CON
sistently can to let the people of the
country know the facts by revealing
the motives behind this deceptive
work, and are pleased to say that we
are making some Roadway. However,
there is still an enormous amount Of
educational work to be done before
the industry can consider itself safe
from such attacks, and you as a stock
holder in one of the principal beet
sugar producing companies, should
be sufficiently interested to defend
at every opportunity the position
which your officials are endeavoriug
to maintain, because we feel it is of
the utmost Importance that this essen
tian agricultural industry shall not
be destroyed.
Yours very truly.
