JEWTON UNDER, GRILL
IN STIELOW INQUIRY
j i ALBION, N. Y., Dec. 26.—George W. ’
, Newton, private detective of Buffalo,
. . whose work in the famous Stielow
i : murder case resulted in the convition
> of Stielow, appeared today before the
' ; grand jury and State Prosecutor
' H. Bond, appointed by Gov. Whitman
X I ,
' I to investigate the guilt or innocence of
i Erwin King, now charged with the
the crime.
I He was on the stand the greater
! > part of the day, under a fire of ques
. i tinning that frequently caused the de
' tective to reply in tones pitched high
’ enough to bear in the courthouse
1 corridor. Newton was grilled longer
than any four previous witness com-
; bined.
1
Should the grand jury indict King
( at this time, it is expected the meth
ods used by Newton in obtaining the
< conviction of Stielow and Green will
i be thoroughly aired.
Attorney David A. White, who de- ’
• feednd Stielow during the trial in 1915
and caused his execution to be stayed
until the Humantarlan Cult and others 1
became interested in Stielow’s fight. •
has spent much time in the courthouse
during tlie last few days. It is rumor- ,
ed he is expected to be an important
witness.
The case-before the grand pury may
not come to a close before next Tues
' day or Wednesday .
TRAVELING MOVING PICTURE
SHOW FOR SOLDIERS
A traveling moving picture show, in
j the form of a specially built automo
bile, is the latest acquisition of the
I Netherlands soldier. It has been in
; vented with a view to bringing cheer
I into the monotonous and hard life of
‘ the troops engaged in guarding the
I i rentiers in the forthcoming winter. A
! cyclist theatrical company was al-
I ready in existence, pedalling from one
detachment to the other to give its
performances.
The new movie car resembles an
ordinary military freight automobile.
I Arrived on the spot where thef per-,
formance is to btwgivcn, the atilomo
i bile is stationed in front of the hall,
into which electric power is convey
ed by means of a long wire that is
i carried with all other requisites in the
ear All that has to be seen to locally
, is the provision of a suitable hall. The I
staff comprises driver, electrician, j I

WILSON SAYS SCHOOL
WORK MUST GO OX
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.—President
Wilson has written to the National
Education Association that he sees no
reason why the association’s annual
meeting in Pittsburgh, from June 20
to July 5 next, should be interfered
vith .
As a result of reports that the gov
ernment did not wish the meeting to
be held and suggestions that it might
be part of a German propagando, J.
W. Crabtree, secretary of the asscia
tion, wrote to the President asking if
the meeting was objectionable. The
President replied:
“My Dear Mr. Crabtree: Your are
quite right. It is my decided opinion
that you should do everything in your
power to promote the interest in the
work of the school, at this time
especially, perhaps, and I see nd“ rea
son why the annual session of the Na
tional Educational Association should
be interfered with) in any way.”
In his letter Mr. Crabtree said 756
of the association’s members had
joined the military service.

FARMERS ADVISED TO
HOLD BACK THEIR HOGS.
CHICAGO, Dec. 26.—A warning to
farmers not to ship hogs, but to hold
them back for the present in order to
avoid falling prices, was sent out to
day by J. C. Cotton, head of the Meat
■ Division of the Food Administration.
: In a written statement he adds:
"On Nov. 3 I stated that the prices
I of hogs, so far as this division could
: affect, would not fall below about
! $15.15 per hundredweight for the
j average of the packers’ droves on the
. Chicago market until further notice.
, That statement; I make a gain.
"The packers inform me they are
' doing their best to aid us in that
; policy, but largely owing to trans
, portation difficulties there is now a
. glut of hogs on the Chicago market
’ and more hogs than the packers can
, kill and handle.
I "The farmers and commission men
j in this territory must help by holding
. back hogs temporarily, especially
from the Chicago market. If there is
‘ co-operation the minimum will be
I maintained. Do not sacrifie your
| hogs by dumping them on an over
; fowdede market.”
To Encourage Cold Storage,
LONDON, Dec. 26.—The ministr}’ of
food has formed a section charged with
■jibe organization and encouragement
:of cold storage facilities. It is intend
; ed to arrange that a three months’
| supply ow perishable goods shall be
storabh at the various ports of the
; I United Kingdom. The accommodation
! 1 they provide is to be increased by ten
j million cubic feet of space.
