OLD-TIME REPUBLICAN MAJORITY
PREDICTED BY CONGRESSMAN VARE
AN OLD-TIME Republican majority in Philadelphia for Hughes and Fair
banks and for tho Republican State ticket was predicted today by
Congressman William S. Varc, in calling upon Phlladclphians to support
Hughes. Congressman Varo's statement lollows:
"Reports from all sections of tho
city indicate an old-time itcpuuucan
majority for Charles E. Hughes and
tho cntlro Republican ticket next
Tuesday. The peoplo of the city
havo come to realize that tho pros
perity of today is duo to the Euro
Ecan war. They also have been
rought to consider tho effect of
Democratic rule at tho close of tho
Great War.
"During the last two years tho
rapidly increasing Republican vote
in Philadelphia has been such as to
indicate what has materialized this
year. Tho registration is the great
est sincda tho passago of tho per
sonal registration law, as is the en
rollment for the Republican party.
"Patriotic Americans are desirous
of hnving a porson to head tho
nation who will give us peace with
honor, prosperity without war and
protection for our workingmen.
With this in view it behooves nil to
vote for Charles E. Huchcs for
President."

Capture of Confessed Slayer
of Cleveland Lawyer
Brings Hope
HICH MEN SEEK SOLUTION
A fund of $10,000, the contributors of
which were John D. Bockefeljer, Myron T.

to the police pension fund of Camden, If
Wood II. Brown, a. twenty-flve-year-old
negro, Is convicted of the mysterious
murder of WHUara. L. Bice, millionaire
lawyer and politician, of Cleveland, who
was ono of the best known citizens of tha
Buckeyo State.
Brown has confessed that he Is the much
sought assassin who shot and stabbed Rice
to death while tho latter was walking along
ono of the. avenues of Euclid Heights, a
fashionable suburb of Cleveland, six years
ago. Detectives left Cleveland "toflay for
Camden. Brown's description of how he
left tho body on a road and placed It In such
a position as to give the Impression that
death was due to an automobile accident
has convinced tho police of Cleveland that
he la telling the truth.
CAPTURED AS HOLD-UP MAN
The fund of $10,000 was raised a few
days after Rice was murdered. At that
time it was stipulated by tho contributors
that the fund should exist until Rice's mur
derer was caught Brown's capture was
made by a Camden policeman. He was ar
rested for attempting to hold up a Jitney
driver near Hammonton, N, J., last Monday,

with these words.
"I am the nigger who killed Rice, the law
yer, of Cleveland."
Members of the police force In Camden
are forbidden to accept rewards for cap
tures of criminals. All rewards must be
turned over to the pension fund.
The murder of Rice, which occurred al
most In froYit of tho homo of former Am
bassador Herrlck, not only baffled ths
entire police force of Cleveland, but mysti
fied hundreds of private detectives and
criminologists. The motive for the murder
could never be established.
