Roth letters were written by the
I same typrowriter and the one ribbon

I same phraseology. The letters to Mr.
I Peer told him that he would be re
I quired to turn over 5500 in coin to
I one of his employes, 'the man who
joes home after work toward the
: north" and that the employe was to
care the money with him constantly
so he might he prepared to deliver
it at the hck and cvl of the holdup
Ml It was urged that there be no hesl
Uncy in the matter and that no word
be given to the officers respecting
the transaction, on penalty of great
harm. The wrUer Informed Mr
Peery that it would l foolish for
t tjji ' h'Tn to attempt to avoid yielding be

cdn ' understood that he could well afford

It was point ed that there are five

U?1JL affairs and that earh could contrib
ute $100 without hardship and that

i rl' were compared and found to be wrlt-
j .jo ten on the Banio typew riTer and In
1 practically tbe same language. Mr.
hi' Peery and Mr. Higginbotham, as the
officers say, conforred briefly and
slkfc2 f nong other things discussed wafl
yoJosjr the question el what should be done.
i W j Higginbotham taid he thought the

Ucr The plan of the officers was, that
,.jslt would not be necessary to rarry

j told that 1t would afford a splendid
I opportunity to capture the robber
I and the reward offered would be
worth the risk
Accordingly. Sheriff Butters of
Morgan county and Sheriff Harris of
I Davis county were called to act as
' guards They accompanied Higgin
botham homo Thursday night and
guarded the house that night and
Friday night. They dogged his foot
steps all day Friday and until Sat
urday afternoon when H I ggln both arr
is said to have confessed that he
was the writer of both letters
In the meantime the officers had
guarded the flour mill on Twenty
fourth and Lincoln aenue to avoid
surprises and all possible clues to
the Identity of the writer of the let
ters were watched for
The officers observed that Higgin
botham was getting uneasy and that
his stories of the affair varied, which
led them to believe even before the
confession was made that he was the
blackmailer.
Postoffice Inspector McGee stated
to the newspaper men on Saturday
that Higginbotham finally acknowl
edged that he had written both le
ters as a joke. The man said he
thought Harold would not take the I
matter seriously and that the receipt
of the letter would afford him and i
some of the other employes about the
mill a little fun He explained that
he lately had learned to use the type
writer at the office and had taken
stationery from home upon which to
write
Additional developments were made

The officers here can give no In
formal Ion as to the letters except to
say that thev were written In the
course of a correspondence with a
woman with whom Hlggonbotham has
been acquainted.
The officers are aware that there
has been much trifling sine the
blackmailing siege commenced, and
that there is no telling bow many
people have been made lo pa out
money to nvoid notoriety Many let
ters have been turned in for invest i
gatlon Since Chief Norton came out
and advised the people to not sub
mit to the telephone calls and letters
of blackmailers, but to call on the
department, much Information has
b6en given tho officers which may
aid them in hunting down the ban
dits. In the past few days it has been
known to the officers, that a tele
phone wire In the southwest part of
the city has been tapped The par
ties tapping it were glvon the wrong
number when on of the Ecelps resi

angered when he found that he was

A well known woman of tho dry
ha received a letter from blackmail
ers asking her for $100. In the letter
hhe was described a ' the meanest
woman In town' and "the shrewdest
woman In tho city," coupled with th
lualnuatlo'i That both traits would as
slet hr In reaching the conclusion
that her only recourse was to pay
the demand. She has not paid the
money, and a warm reception awaits

COL. ROOSEVELT I
TALKSJN CHILE I
Faces One of Most Scholarly
Audiences in South Ameri
can Visit.
COLONIAL HISTORY
Reviews Democratic Move
ment in U. S. and Says "Big
Business Has Come to
Stay."
Santiago Chile, Nov. 24 Theodore
RooscMelt yesterday addressed one of
the most scholarly audiences he ha3
faced since he came to South America
His topic was "The Democratic Move
ment In a Republic." and he spoke
before the oldest Institution for high
er education on the continent, the
University of Chile
The university was founded bv the
Jesuits In 1743.- Colonel Roosevelt'
reminded his audience that although
Chile, as a nation, was younger than
the United States of America. Its co
lonial history was far longer "Chile's
hlstorv " he said, "as known to people
of European stock, began three quar
ters of a century before the Puritans
landed at Plymouth Rock"
His re. lew of the Democratic move
ment In the United States was con
tlned mainly to the twelve years since
he first became president. Durlnjr
this period, he said, "the political
movement In the United States has
represented chiefly the effort to put
into actual and concrete performance
the principles which in the abstract
all Intelligent men admit to be true.
"In barest outline, he said, 'our
. problems were in the first place to
I restore the government to the people
so as to make the fact correspond
with the theory and in the second
place and even more important to use
the governmental power when thus re
stored so aa to make ua an Inriimtrlnl
and ecouomlc as well as a political
democracy."
Colonel Roosevelt explained his
views regarding the Judiciary' and "big
business " During the last half ot IP
the nineteenth century, he asserted,
"the leaders of reaction In the Unl- !
ted States, political and financial j
alike gradually grew to recognize In j
the Judiciary their most powerful po- Ij
' tentlal ally" The Judges, he said.
' by their training and aloofness of
their position on the bench have lit
i tie real knowledge of or sympathy B
I with ihe lives and needs of the ordi
nary hard working toller The Jud
ges, he declared, were In reality 'it
responsible lawmakers, with a strong
j natural bias against every' species of
reform legislation for social and in
dus'rlal relief and fair play ."
He repeated his campaign declara
tions that big business has come tr
I stay" and that the problem was "so
i to control it and supervise it aa to
prevent there being any Improper ad-
'vantage taken by big business at the
expense of smali business."
