IDENTIFY "HATCHET !
FIEND" BY SNEAKERS
Steelton Police Now Confident
They Have Man Who At- |
tacked Seven Women
A web of circumstantial evidence
woven around E. N. Haines by the
Steelton police to-day leaves little
doubt, the authorities declare, that I
Haines Is the mysterious "hatchet
fiend" who brutally assaulted seven
Steelton women with an axe and ter
rorized the whole borough for months.
Haines Is now In the Harrisburg
Hospital, stralghtjacketed and under!
strict surveillance. He was arrested |
last Friday by Patrolman Booser, of
the Philadelphia and Reading police, I
who was compelled to shoot the negro |
In the right leg to prevent his escape, i
Late yesterday afternoon Chief of'
Police H. P. Longnaker and Constable'
John Glbb brought Alblna Kozjan, I
the 12-yenr-old'daughter of Mrs. Bar- 1
bara Kozjan. of 13 Cumbler's Row, j
to the hospital. She Immediately |
identified Haines as the negro whom
she had seen spring from her bed
room window the night of July 9 after
robbing the house.
On this same night the homes of
Marko Mavretic, 800 South Second
street, and Mathlas Starusinic, 7 4
South Second street, were robbed. A
short time after Haines was seen by
the Kozjan girl a strange negro was
seen near the scene of the robberies
by Patrolman James Pearson, a col
ored officer, who reported the strang
er's presence to Chief Longnaker.
This negro's description tallies with
the description of Haines.
The "Sneaker" Tracks
The chain of evidence against Haines
is strengthened by the fact that at
each of the places where women were
assaulted by the "hatchet ftend" prints
o? a peculiarly marked rubber-soled
shoe, or "sneaker," were found.
Haines, according to the Kozjan girl,
wore such shoes.
When Chief of Police Longnaker
visited Haines at the hospital yester
day the negro admitted that he had
frequently been in Steelton. He de
clared. however, that his home is In
Harrisburg. His name is not listed in
any directory. The Steelton police did
not make any effort to question Haines
further on account of his mental con
dition. It Is necessary to keep him
stralghtjacketed all the time and it is
probable that he will later be com
mitted to an asylum.

"Germany utilizes every ounce of
coal by-products but only 16 per cent,
of our coke furnaces are equipped for
reclaiming coal tar products. Only
a few are actually recovering benzol,
naphtha-cline and carbolic acid, which
are the bases of most of the coal tar
products. Unfortunately benzol and
carbolic acid are used largely in ex
plosives, with the result that these
products are mostly taken up by the
ammunition factories.
"The potash problem is large. We
import annually from Germany $15,-
000,000 worth of potash, while off the
coast there are supplies of kelp which
are believed to have a value of $160,-
000,000 now going to waste. We have
at our door enough potash to meet
the demands of the world and to sup
ply the needs of our crops, tobacco,
grain and other produce, in the way
of fertilizer. We have always been
dependent on Germany for potash.
"Photographic chemicals are now
vanishing.
"We don't want to get caught in
such a plight again and the Depart
ment of Commerce wants to stimulate
American development so we can sup
ply our own demands and then hranch
out into the world's trade in
chemicals.
"AftPr this investigation is conclud
ed," said Dr. Norton, "we will be In
a position to determine what can be
done to relieve immediate necessities,
although I am firmly of the belief that
a strong domestic dyestuff Industry
can be built up eventually."

Asking Clemency in
Last Hanging Sentence
Application has been made to the
State Board of Pardons for commuta
tion of the death sentence of James
Reilly, Philadelphia, sentenced to be
hanged for the murder o fhis wife in
1912.
The crime was committed prior to
the election act being: passed and a
sentence of death by hanging had to
be passed. Reilly became a fugitive
after the murder but returned and
surrendered, being convicted. He has
a family of small boys and for their
sake and because he says he was drunk
when he shot he asks commutation.
A Real Flesh Builder
For Thin People
WHO WOULD INCREASE WEIGHT
Thin men and women who would like
to Increase their weight with 10 er li>
pounds of healthy "stay-there" fat
should try eating a little Sargol with
their meals for a while and note re
sults. Here is a good test worth try
ing. First weigh yourself and measure
yourself. Then take Sargol—one tab
let with every meal—for two weeks
Then weigh and measure again. It isn't
a question of how you look or feel or
what your friends say and think. The
scales and tape measure will tell their
own story. Many people, having fol
lowed these simple directions, report
weight Increases of from five to eight
pounds with continued gains under
further treatment.
Sargol does not of itself make fat
but mixing with your food Its purpose
is to help the digestive organs turn the
fats, sugars and starches of what you
have eaten, into rich, ripe, fat produc
ing nourishment for the tissues and
blood—prepare it in an easily assimi
lated form which the blood can readilv
accept. A great deal of this nourish
ment now passes from thin people's
bodies as waste. Sargol is designed to
stop the waste and make the fat pro
ducing contents of the very same meals
you are eating now develop pounds and
pounds of healthy flesh between vour
skin and bones. Sargol is noninjuri
ous, pleasant, efficient and Inexpen
sive. George A. Gorgas and other lead
ing druggists are authorized to sell it
in large boxes—forty tablets to a pack
age—on a guarantee of weight increase
or money back as found in every pack
age.—Advertisement.
