Slayer Escapes. I lie police believe that the man who shot the detectives was oneof the two who held uo the rent col lector and killed his guard. One of the detectives lias the name of th man who had shot him and his partner, and in the apartment of female friend of this negro the police found another negro whom the rent - collector identified as one of the men who held him up. The negro who killed the oolice detective escaped. According to the police, the namo of the negro "killer is Luther Boddy I'.'. Ihe police know him as a '.cop fighter." He shot a negro policeman several weeks ago and is now out on parole from Blackwcll's island, where he was sentenced for a holdup. , Father of Nine Children. -The policeman he killed was De tcctive William A. Miller, 46, ot Brooklyn, married and the father of nine 'children. His companion, who was wounded, was Detective Francis J. Buckley. 35, iinarned, with , three children. Buckley has been a police' man 15 years the last 10 in Har Iciii. They worked together and were hated by the criminal clement in the neero district of Harlem. An attempt to kill Detective Miller was made six months ago: when he was investigating a murder in the negro district . Having questioned several oersons in a tenement nous on Lenox avenue, he was standing on the porch when a negro crept up behind him and struck him with blackjack on the head.' Miller was krfocked unconscious and wastakeu ' to Harlem hospital General Alarm. Buckley's wound, in the abdomen and ranging upward, was so grave that blood transfusion was resorted to almost ' immediately after he reached the hospital. Several police men volunteered and successively submitted to the operation, which was successful in that it gave Back- ley strength to submit to prolonged probing tor the bullet. Shortly after the shooting a gen oral alarm was sent out for. the fugitive. , ! Man Slain, Wife Held. Milwaukee, -Wis. Jan. 6.

Opening of two, graves in a cemetery here to day has been decided upon by Wi nona police in an inveitigation of a report that the body of Miss' Pran ce Bloch, buried five year ago, had been exhumed and decapitated in a superitrtiou belief that such action would end a aencs ot deaths in family.

"The decision of the committee, he said, "is based on three alleged grounds, equally tenuous . aa . un tenable." What the committee characterized as trading with the enemy, he said, consisted of "trifling transactions in arbitrage and ex change with a' reputable Amsterdam banking, house, as though it were disloyal to deal with Holland during the war, as most British banking houses,, including ours,' were doing with the full knowledge of the gov ernment. . . V The second chief allegation, he pointed out. that of communicating with tire enemy consisted solely of "communicating with my sisters and their families in an entirely mnocent wav." The third principal count, he said, was really that of. evading the censor with the full knowledge of the censor and insisting upon the right to do ' so in matters all of which were legitimate and innocent. '"The whole thing is neither more nor "less than; the culmination, of years of political persecution." ' -Sir Edgar said that he and his family , sailed for the United States in May, 1915, life for, them in Eng land having," become, intolerable.

Olive Tablets are a Harmless Substitute Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets the substitute for calomel are a: mild but sure laxative, and their, effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. These little olive-colored tablets are the result of Dr. Edwards' deter mination not 'to treat . liver and bowel complaints with sealomel. The. pleasant little tablets do the good calomel does, but have no bad aften effects. '" They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids' Or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver; at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not - to take calomel. Let Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place. Headaches, "dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets when you feel "logy" and "heavy." They clear" clouded brain and "perk up" the spirits. 15q and 30c. , ADVERTISEMENT.
