WICHITA, KANS., Dec. II. U.R)
Officers today claimed a solution
to three mysterious murders after
the alleged slayer, a 81 year old
farm hand, had been imprisoned
behind the strong walls of the
Kansas state reformatory to save
him from an Infatuated mob.
A confession implicated the farm
hand, Jack Wisdom, in the Staying
of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Pritchard
and Emory Large, was obtained
shortly before Oklahoma officers
found the body OF Pritchard, a
Wichita clothing merchant near Ell
Reno, Okla.
Wisdom, arrested early Sunday
after a three weeks search, was
taken to the reformatory at Hutch
inson after a wild ride through
Oklahoma and Kansas with an
angry mob in pursuit. Quick action
by Gov. w. H. Murry in modifying
the Oklahoma national guard was
credited with saving him from vio-
lent death at the hands of would-be
lynchers. ..-..-. -...
Pritchard's body was found this
morning three miles north ana
one mile east Of Ell Reno, near the
place where Wisdom led Officers
last night in six hour futile hunt.
Mrs. Pritchard's body had been
found yesterday 40 miles north Oh
this location by a hunter.
Larges body was found in a dry
well on the l.. w. johnson ranch
near Meade, Kansas, November ~,
six DAYS after the Pritchards dis
appeared in company with Wisdom.
WICHITA, KanS., Dec. IL. (U.H)-
Officers eluded enraged kansans
seeking to lynch Jack Wisdom early
today and placed the farmland ac-
cused of kidnapping and Staying MI
and Mrs. Harry Pritchard in the
temporary shelter of the Kansas
state reformatory at Hutchinson.
w. o. Lyle, chief OF detectives
here, and other Wichita officers de-
livered Wisdom to the reformatory
by automobile. They said they OBJ
tanned a partial confession from
him and blamed a check forgery
charge filed by Pritchard against
Wisdom for the double crime.
Wisdom, captured near Leach
Okla, near the Arkansas line early
Sunday, had been sought since
November %, when he disappeared
with Mr.. and Mrs. Pritchard.

SPAIN CLAIMS
REVOLT OVER
Government Asserts Attack By
Anarchists Has Resulted In
Failure.
By JOHN DE GANDT
nited Press Staff Correspondent


MADRID, Dec. IL. U.P)-With in
dications that a generaf strike,
threatened by anarchists and syn
dicalists after Sundays battles
against police, was failing to ma
terialize, the government claimed
today to dominate the uprising on
all fronts. Estimates put the death
toll at around 100.
"All public works, military and
civil, are loyal to the government, -
Minister of Labor Pi y Suner told
the United Press, "and the gov
eminent has complete control over
the country
MADRID, Dec. 11.-Anarchists,
on the third day of their sanguinary
effort to overthrow the republic,
essayed the supreme test of their
power today by proclaiming ma
tionwide revolutionary genera
! strike.
The order for the strike went out
! through the syndicalist-controlled
National Confederation of Labor,
effective Immediately throughout
the country. Previous strike calls
! had been regional.
| The cabinet remained in session
at the war ministry throughout a
night that brought reports of po-
lice entrenched in the streets OF
Barcelona and other northeastern
towns and of disorders at a score
of smaller places.
AS the situation stood this morn
ing, there was no doubt that the
government was in control at all
important points. But with ample
money and plenty of arms, the an
archists and syndicalists, with Com
munist support, were making a de-
termined fight.
The national strike was calculat-
ed to test the real power of the
subverSive element. Socialist lead
ers, though like the Others angered
at the victory of conservative can
didates in the recent parliamentary
election, held themselves aloof from
the strike.
Col. Francesca MaciaS, Cataloniar
leader, broadcast an appeal to the
working class, over which he ha;
great influence, not to join The
general strike. 1t would only re.
suit, he said, in loss of the newly
won liberties of the four Catalon
ian provinces, which now have sem
i-autonOmouS government.

knowledge, Intelligence
Have Different Meaning

A great many people confuse knoWl-
edge with intelligence, both in the use
and the meaning Of these terms. There
is distinction, however, that is worth
consideration. knowledge is some
thing you acquire. There are as many
sorts of knowledge as there are things
to learn. In other words, knowledge
is the thing you require before you use
your intelligence.
Intelligence is Of two kinds-native
and acquired. When psychologist
uses the term intelligence he usually
has In mind that inherited ability
which amounts to power to use
knowledge. Acquired intelligence Is
the kind you have in mind when you
say, acknowledge is power" For prac-
teal purposes one need not distinguish
between knowledge and acquired intel
ngence.
One might make the distinction be-
tween knowledge and intelligence In
another way. knowledge is the raw
material Of mental life. Intelligence
is the machinery that puts this raw
material to work. The really intel
ligent person is the one who knows
the uses Of knowledge. In still other
words, knowledge is the stuff out OF
which achievement is made, while in
telligence is the ability to make
| achievement possible. - Washington

County Agent Reports
Fowl PoX Increase
(By County Agent E. c. Durdle)

(By County Agent e. C. Durdle)
A number of reports are coming to
the office of the county agent In regard
to trouble with both poultry and turkey
flocks. A check up on these indicates
that in a good many of these instances
the trouble is undoubtedly fowl pox.
Some of the reports indicate rather
light attacks and others a severe form
of the disease.
Fowl pox may show by three different
symptoms, each independent OF the
others, or any two of the three COM
bined in one bird. The more common
symptom probably is that of the raised

scab areas in the comb, face, or wattles
of the bird. These may be few In num-
Der or may cover the large part OF
these parts Of the birds. The second
symptom which Is most apparent Is
the swollen eye, due to severe sinus IN
lection. The third symptom Is carakers
In the mouth and throat, these usually
being covered by a cheesy substance
and they may entirely close the throat
Of the bird, causing death. This symp-
tom Is a good deal like diphtheria IN
the human family.
Control measures should be con-
cerned with only the latter two syu1p-
toms aside from the general care OF the
flock affected. General care should con-
sist Of keeping the birds dry, well
housed, free from drafts and yet well
fed with good ventilation. Specific
treatment for the swollen eye should
consist Of cleaning Of the nasal passage
and the use Of argarol or iodine as q
treatment. Treatment Of the cankers OF
the throat and mouth should be
watched closely. With an old fashioned
wire hair pin the cheesy material
should be cleaned out and the diseased
area treated with tincture Of iodine. 1t
may be necessary to repeat this treat
ment two or three times.
Since there is considerable fowl pox
at least in the lower part Of the county
we feel that poultrymen near anyone
having the diseased birds should make
arrangements for vaccination Of the
young flock next year at about the time
the birds are TO- to IL weeks of age. The
losses from the disease even though It
may be not more than the loss IN
weight or loss in egg production are toe
severe to take chances as compared to
the cost of vaccination. We strongly
recommend vaccination for those plan
ming on carrying poultry or turkeys an
other year.
In case but few birds have the
disease it may be we'll to vaccinate the
balance of the flock even this late ir
the season. If interested the matter
should be taken up with the county
agent or with a qualified veterinarian
The disease is highly contagious ane
the same attendant taking care OF
diseased and an undiseased flock o.
even with English Sparrows as prevail
ent as they are in this county is almos
impossible to prevent the disease from
going through the entire flock on TIN
farm.
Prevention is by far the more salts
factory method and vaccination mean
prevention.
