Tho man who stole tho money and Jowclry from tho homo of William CotllnsRrovo and then killed hl housekeeper, Mnry Davis, when she sOilght to save tho property, apparently hod little fear of capture. Collinsgrove will return' tomorrow with his bride, whom lie married In Chicago, and It Is expected that Ills return will put impetus Into the Investigation. Collins grove said there wa no doubt that Mrs. Davis was murdered, and ho helped to convince the authorities that thorp was absolutely no reason for the woman to kill herself. On learning that ho could not bo Induced to entertain tho sulcldo theory the county olllclals Immediately lost Interest In the case. None of the olllclals luis hern seen t here Blnco last Thursday, when they mot ' over McClurc's saloon which serves us pollco headquarters. It was then Hint quick conclusions were formed anil thu murder theory was llouted by the Hlcuths and -District Attorney John II. liutimim, Jr. Realizing that the people would nut accept tho Indltfcrenco of tin- authorities, political followers of the McCluro ring tried to rovlvo tho suicide theory today by suggesting that Mrs Davis might havo used tho money stolen from tho Collins grove houso to pay personal debts. But Collinsgrove before leaving his homo said there was no foundation for such a rumor, as lie had seen tho money and Jewelry before ho left home on tho day of tho murder. As neighbors say Mrs. Davis did not leave the house, this last resort to revive the suicide plea has failed. Many witnesses have been summoned to the Inquest, which will be held tomorrow by Coroner Drewes, and It Is expected that thcro will bo some surprising developments.

Contributions may be addressed to the American Red Cross, Washington, D. C which will take care for their proper distribution. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington, this eleventh day of January, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and sixteen, and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and fortieth.

The noble proclamation of our President in response to a resolution passed by the United States Senate conveys the sentiment of the American people in words full of CHARITY and BENEVOLENCE. THE HEART OF THE MIGHTY AMERICAN NATION GOES OUT IN SYMPATHY TO BLEEDING ISRAEL. The American people, ever ready to extend a helping hand in the hour of need to suffering humanity in any part of the globe, will not fail to respond to the cry for help, which comes to us from across the sea. There are actually nine million souls of the Jewish people, who are victims of the present. war. They find themselves in a terrible plight, suffering from hunger, lack of shelter and no means of subsistence.
