YULE MONEY SPENT
ON LIQUOR; jailed
Father Wastes Funds In
tended for Children, Claim.

Money which a mother intended
for use in buying Christmas pres
ents for her children, was spent by
the father for liquor, according to
evidence today in juvenile court, re-
sulting in Charles Beaver, R. R. 7,
Box 144-B, being sentenced to Jail
for thirty days and fined 81 by
Judge John F. Geckler.
There are eight children in the
family, ages ranging from 8 years
to 4 months. The mother, Mrs.
Beulah Beaver, and two of the chill
dren are patients in Sunnyside
sanatorium.
A government check for $42.8O is
received monthly by Mrs. Beaver, as
compensation for death of her first
husband, who was in service during
the World war.
When the check for January came
recently, Mrs. Beaver is said to have
directed Beaver to use part of the
money to buy presents.
Instead, Beaver and a companion,
who is being sought, cashed the
check, receiving part of the money
as a coal company lacked change
for the entire amount. A drinking
party followed, it is charged, and
eventually the companion returned
where the check was caShed and
obtained the remainder of the
money.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 27.-Dr. Squire
P. Bevier, wealthy Cougar old den
fist, lay dead today, suicide, after
writing a weird and rumbling letter
in which he confessed killing Mrs
Josephine Elder in an argument
over her false teeth.
Bevier's body was found in his
garage at the rear of his home
Monday. Hunted since the 71-year-
old woman was found dead in his
Office last Friday, he sneaked int
the garage during the night and
shot himself through the heart. A
policeman was hiding inside the
house at the time, waiting to cap
ture the dentist if he returned
home.
The letter, found in Bevier's
pocket, had been written during
two days which he spent in hiding
in deserted cabin ten miles south
of the city. 1t revealed that he had
been obsessed with an idea that an
enemy was sending patients to him
who would not pay.
Beaten to Death
Mrs. Elder, mother of Conroy
Elder, former Missouri supreme
court justice, was beaten to death
with a tWO-and-a- half pound NAL
let. She put up terrific fight and
inflicted several deep scratches on
Beyier's face before he beat her
unconscious.
Mrs. Elder left home Thursday to
see Bevier, who had made the false
teeth with which she was dissatis-
fled. When she did not return
home, her son notified police. They
broke into Beyier's Office Friday
found her battered body, and
learned at Bevier's home that he
had appeared there unexpectedly
Thursday noon, then left hurriedly
The note which Bevier wrote
while hiding in the lonely cabin and
carried with him when he Sneaked
past the guard and back into his
own garage to shoot himself ia
death was written in pencil on
cheap tablet paper.

Smith is greatly liked and adj

They think Smith has such a ire

public that if he went to Manila his
personal activities would over
shadow interest here in all other

70 dlly eIeT from any war.
The British dole has often
been held up in this country
as an example Of government
al generosity. Compared with
the British, the article init
mates, America is dishing out
money to its citizens with a
lavish extravaganza I'M
equaled anywhere in the
known world.
Fortune sweeps aside the bonus
as of comparatively minor i'm
portance,' and goes after the re-
naming $3.50, 900 a year paid to
veterans.
Taking the veterans of the Span
lsh war, a war which lasted but ia
days, as an example, the article
states that to date survivors have
collected no less than $7O0,000,000.
Greatest National Racket
"The little band of 27,5OO Spanish
war pensioners in 1915" it declares,
"has swelled to host 233 900 strong
in 1882. There are $4,000 widows on
its rolls, although only 10000 men
died in service.
IF this vast army were reduced
to those who actually suffered from
war. some 10000 individuals, allow
ing for deaths since 1912, would he
on the rolls today"
The World war disability allow
ance item, the magazine asserts,
threatens the country with the
greatest potential cost while having
the least excuse for existence. The
number of pensioners is stated TO
be well over 100000, and is increas-
ing at the rate of almost 5000 a
month.
While "the need for a major cut
in the United States budget grows
clearer weekly the periodical
charges. the fastening of nOncom-
batants on the taxpayers pay roll
constitutes our second greatest ma
tional racket"
Assails Economy League
While warning that something
must be done about it, the article
charges that the National Economy
League is guilty of "egregious lack
of political shrewdness" in selecting
its front men" to lead in the at
tack on the system.
General Pershing. one of the six
members of its advisory council,
draws a pension of $19880 a year,
while Rear Admiral Byrd, as it's
chairman, draws $4125 for his
rather spasmodic service in the
United States navy"

gress needs it declares. lis more
