WEEKS IN ICE PIT

Hospital.
It,
Mlddletown, N. Y., Dec 3 — Ex-
planations are being sought by the
health authorities here today for the
reported confinement for two weeks
Of John Burrell Jr., the son-in-law
Of Brian O. Hughes, a paper box
manufacturer who is well known as a
practical Joker, in an ice pit on his
father's farm, two miles from Gosh-
en. Burrell was taken from the pit
by the health authorities, and has
been committed to the state hospital,
| where he is receiving medical at-
K tentlon.
Burrell is about forty years old.
^ He has been In ill health for many
I years. During the greater part of
If*the last two years he has been In
charge of a nurse. His father said
|..'/i h» bad a propensity for breaking
household furniture. His wife, who
ia the daughter of Mr. Hughes, and
!•».
their two daughters are living in
New York.
A few days ago a .Polish family liv-
ing on the Burrell farm reported to
the authorities that Burrell had been
a prisoner for some weeks in the
Ice pit. Dr. McOeoch, a health of-
ficer, and Mr. Condict, of Ooshen,
went to the farm to investigate.
They found Burrell in a building
fifteen feet square, within a pit seven
feet below the surface, in which Ice
is usually stored. Burrell was lying
on the concrete floor which was
strewn with straw. He was eating
a piece of dry bread. He wore a
thin shirt, an old pair of trousers,
a rough overcoat and his legs were
covered with sheepskin.
He pleaded to be released when
the physicians came. They led taim
out and took him away. When tbe
elder Burrell was asked why the
eon had been kept in the pit, they
were told it was necessary to keep
him there becauae he destroyed much
valuable property when at liberty.

Denver, Colo., Dec. 6.—Walter
Archer, a 17-year-old aviator, fell
700 feet In an aeroplane of his own
invention Sunday at Sallda, Colo,

He ventured a trifle too high and
the wire snapped, leaving him with,
out power to operate his propellers.
With little experience as an aviator,
he loat control of the machine, which

MAN WHO SLASHED
GIRL CANNOT SPEAK
HE WILL BE DUMB FOR LIFE, THE
PHYSICIANS SAY
L. B Shaffer and Miss Woodwortli
Will Survive Unless Compli-
cations Set in.
Houston, Tex., Dec. 5.—Lloyd
Schaffer will never speak again
Such was the reluotant admission of
his attending physician at St. Jo-
seph's infirmary yesterday afternoon
when dsked about the injuries of the
young' man who cut his throat with
a broken raaor after slashing Mi
Bertha Woodworih at her home, 281
Brazoe street, early Saturday morn
ing.
One of Schaffe's vocal chords was
completely Bevered, the other was so
badly gashed that it will forever b«
useless. His windpipe also is cut
in such a manner that he is required
to breathe through a tube inserted
into' the wound.
Beyond tbe fact that he will be
dumb for life, Sehaffer n wounds are
not considered to b<e serious, but the
physicians fear pneumonia may re
suit from the tube breathing. Such
a turn will probably prove fatal, sa
the physicians, becauae of tbe weak
ened constitution of the patient.
VICTIM IS RECOVERING.
Physicians attending Miss Wood
worth said last night tkat she is well
on the road to recovery, and that
they hope for a complete return to
health within a short time. Although
one of her throat cuta missed the Ju
gular vein by only one-eighth on an
inch, none of the wounds are serl
ous unless some unforseen complica
tion sets in.
Dr. Hodges said she was slightly
injured internally from the force of
the jump from the gallery to the
sidewalk twenty feet below, but
that she had almost recovered from
those Injuries.
It is not thought that she will be
disfigured, as the wounds are in po<
sltions which can be hidden by dress,
the throat gashes being on the lower
part of the neck and tbe cut in her
head will be hidden by her hair.
Wise Woodworth also has four
slight cuts on one of her hands, sue
tained when she attempted to grab
her assailant's weapon, just before
she became unconscious.
Detectives Peyton and Boone lo-
cated tbe remnants of Schaffer's raz
or yesterday morning in a woodshed
in the rear of 409 Anita street. There
Is only an inch of the blade remain-
ing on the handle, tim balance of it
having been found in Miss Wood-
worth's hair.
HAD LITTLE TO OFFER.
The detectives also found a hand-
kerchief which had apparently been
used by Schaffer in an attempt to
bind his self inflicted wounds, in
the abed.
When seen by detectives at the in-
firmary yesterday afternoon, Schaf-
fer had little to communicate, and
that little is guarded by the detec-
tives. Tbe principal strain of all
his notes, however, is that some ono
was trying to get the beat of him.
It is believed that Schaffer slash-
ed himself with the fragment of the
razor blade in the shed, as the de-
tectives found marks showing that 1»
had seated himself In the building
and apparently had tried to staunch
the flow of blood from bis wounds.
Tbe cut which severed his vocal
chords was a vertical slash almoat In
the center of the throat.

LAY BARE SCHEME
TO BEAT HOTELS
C. 0. D. PACKAGE FOE GUEBT
WHO NEVER ARRIVES.
Tea Dollars Was the Prioe of Exper-
ience to Those Proprietors
Who Bit.
Kansas City, Mo., Dec. S — Hotel
keepers of Kansas City and through-
out the middle west, who did not ac-
cept a C. O. D. express package, sup-
posed to contain a watch repaired
in New York City, have cause for
self-congratulation. Those who did
are out just $10 85. The 85 cents
represents the express charges on
tbe parcel and tbe charges for col-
lecting and forwarding the $10 to
New York City.
Two of tbe big Kansas City hotels,
tbe Ooa(es land- (hf; Densmore, and
tbe Naftidn|ii» df*.Tdi§e%a, are ahead
of the game. They did not accept
the C. O. D. package, but asked the
express company representative to
leave a notice.
The supposed gullibility of hotel
proprietors, their faith in the'r
knowledge of human character, their
dealinga with commercial men and
their natural aaxlety to rent the
rooma in their boatelries, formed the
basis of a carefully laid plan, which,
it is believed here, bad ramifications
that extended all over the country.
The scheme was laid bare yeaterdav
by Barney L. Alisky, secretary of the
Kansaa-Mlaaourl - Oklahoma Hotel
Men'a Association, who presented tbe
matter to the postoffice Inspector
here, and was asked to forward his
evidence and facta to the New York
office Immediately.
ROOMS ARK ENGAGED
Several weeks ago the big hotels
in thla section, received letters writ-
ten on the letterheads of a concern
said to be wholesale dealers and
manufacturers of novelties In New
York City. Tbe letters, almost iden-
tical in phraseology, were signed in
the same bold, flowing hsnd with
green ink, but with different names.
The Coates house letter bore tbe
name of "Rudd," the Hotel Dens-
more letter the rfftme of "lngalls, '
and tbe National Hotel of Topek*
letter the name of "Beeman."
Tbe letters were addressed simply
to the "manager" of the hotels. Thcj^
began with the introduction that*
tbe writer was a traveling man, who
recently had married and was making
his first trip through the west to in-
troduce a line of goods that had not
been placed on sale before.. It ask-
ed that a couple of rooms be reserved,
and that mail addressed to the writer
be carefully preserved, as the writer
expected several expense checks.''
The next paragraph of the better
contained the statement that the
wrltei*Tiad recently dropped a very
fine Jurgensen watch, and it had
been sent to a jewelry house at 121
Broadway, New York City, where it
had been left'for repairs. The let-
ter went on to aay that instructions
had been left that the watch, when
repaired should be forwarded to tbe
hotel to which the letter was writ-
ten, and that it was possible that It
might arrive there before the writer
did. If so, the hotel management
was asked to take very good care of
it, as it was valued for its sentimental
as well as for its intrinsic value.

The letter was the foundation. A

that letting coffee aloae made things

"Four years ago I was practically
given up by my doctor and was not
expected to live long. My nervous
system was in a bad condition.
"But I was young and did not want
to die so I began to look about for
the cause of my chronic trouble. I
used to have nervoua spefls which
would exhaust me and after each
spell It would take me days before I
could sit up in a chair.
"I became convinced my trouble
was caused by coffee. I decided to
stop it and bought some Postum.
"The first cup, which I made ac-
cording to directions, had a soothing
effect on my nerves and I liked the
taste. For a time 1 nearly lived on

A Product of Nature.
Warmed into life by the sun shin
ing on Southern cotton fields, nur-
tured by rata and dew, the cotton
plant concentrates in its seed that
lire-giving and life-sustaining qual-
ity which is the basis of Cottolene.
From cottonfleid to kitchen, human
bands never touch the oil from which
Cottolene is made. It is a product of
Nature.
Lard comes from the fat of the bog.
Often impure, always indigeetible.
Cottolene, on the contrary ig pure,
and Jelly made from the Juice of
choicest fruit is not more eaaily di-
geated than this product of the oil ex-
tracted from the kernel of the cotton
