AND BETRAYS HIM
ABERDEEN, Nov. 4—R. Crow,
who has just left in charge of the
Sheriff, to face trial at Troy Ala
bama, on a charge of murder com
mitted ten years ago, was betray
ed by the woman he loved. Crow,
it is said, shot and killed a man one
night while he was attempting to
help a man out of the country.
He came West, and for the past
ten years has kept his whereabouts
well hidden, although he wrote reg
ularly to his parents. He reached
Portland several weeks ago and fell
in love with a woman there. To her
he confided his crime. She drew
the story from him and later be
trayed him, thinking there was a
reward offered. She wrote the Ala
bama authorities and they imme
diately notified the police of the
Northwest to be on the lookout.
During her remorse for the part
she played in the betrayal of Crow,
she sent him away to escape the
officers, and he got as far as this
section when taken into custody by
the authorities, who were waiting
for him.

A MONUMENT OF SERVICE
Mr. J#hn D. Rockefeller is prob
ably building the greatest monu
ment to his memory in the Rockefel
ler Institute for Medical Research.
An additional gift by him of $2,
550,000 some .time ago announced,
made his total gifts to the insti
tution $9,000,000. The new dona
tion makes possible the study of
animal diseases on a scale and with
a thoroughness never before at
tempted. The Rockefeller Institute
has become the most amply endowed
institution for medical research in
the world. In a little over ten years
the Institute has discovered the
serum treatment of epidemic menin
gitis, the cause and mode of infec
tion of infantile paralysis, the surg
ery of blood vessels through which
blood transfusion has become a daily
life saving expedient, and the safer
method of administering anesthitics
by intratracheal insufflation. The
Institute has devoted itself solely
to the problems of disease preven
tion, and its original researches have
already proven a great blessing to
mankind. Some of the leading bac
teriologists and experimental sur
geons of the world have been drawn
into its service. With the larger
endowment, still greater achieve
ments may be expected in the pre
vention of disease among animals and
human beings. The whole world
looks to the Rockefeller Institute for
help.

LONDON, Noc. 3—John Redmond,

conscription, quotes the figures of
1913, 1914, and 1915, showing that
Irish emigration has dropped in the

Officials Reflecting Bernsdorf
Views of Peace
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4—Officials
here, presumably reflecting Count
Ucrnrlorff’s views in the peace rum
ors, claim that when England com

war will not be far, as evidently
Germany looks upon that country to
make the proposition when a dis
cussion of plans may be made.
In speaking of the matter today,
one official said that Germany would
undoubtedly b6 willing to leave
Belgium but would insist in retain
ing Poland which would become an
independent state. Germany, how
ever, would retain other Russian
and French territories until a cer
tain idemnity would be paid.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4—Among
political experts discussing the
crushing defeat of the suffrage
movement in yesterday’s election,
many are inclined to think that it
may prove to be a stumbling block
in the enactment of wide legislation
in the coming national congress.
Some claim that many members of
congress were ardent supporters of
the movement, and their defeat will
be used to hamper any legislation
that may be favored.

THE WORLD MOVES ON
Some of our readers may recollect
the old days when dad used to take
a barrel of cider, roll it out doors
when the thermometer got down to
twenty below and knock the bung
out and leave it to freeze.
The next day with an auger he bor
ed a hole through the head of the
barrel and the solid ice until he
struck "ile.”
Just about four or five gallons of
a sweet, oily liquid that had all the
aroma of the apple in It, but very
deceptive and seductive. One glass
ful and they could cut your leg off
and you would still smile.
The United States Department of
Argiculture has for some time been
experimenting on grape Juice and
other fruit juices to get the same
results and has lately perfected a
process as follows:—
The juice is frozen in cakes of
ice and cracked into small pieces
the size of walnuts, then put in a
centrifugal machine and the syrup
nortion of the juice thrown out and
collected. The ice remaining, be
ing nothing but water, is thrown
away.
The separation is based on the
fact that only the water in the juice
freezes, the alcohol and syrup re
maining fluid.
This seems to open a new field
for the larger maunfacturere of
grape juice and apple brandy than
here tofore.
Peculiar phenomenon incident to
this process is the fact that the
cream of tarar crystallizes out with
the ice and makes acidity of the
juice much less than normal. This
is particularly true of the Concord
grape juice, which has a large per
centage of tartar in it.
