home a second time by the German invasion. In 1870 they
were refugees from the Germans, just as they are today.
In the Franco-Prussia war they lost everything, but made
a fresh start. Now their home has been destroyed a sec

Myterious Crimes.
VICTIMS KILLED WHILE ASLEEP
CHICAGO, July 19. Ppllce of a
number of cities today delved Into
records of mysterious axe murders,
while two Chicago detectives and
Mayor Jones of Blue Island, 111., left
for Buffalo to bring back Casimir
Arelszewskl, who Is paid to have con
fessed to the murder of Jacob Mla
lich, his wife, his daughter, Mrs.
Mary ManBfield, and her baby, Mary
I Mansfield, in Blue Island, 111., July
5, 1914. Arelszewskl was a boarder
at the MUlich home and he told the
Ruffalo police that tie waited unlii
the family was asleep and .then killed
his victims with an axe. i
The similarity .of axe murder which
began four years ago in Colorado Springs,
stretched . axroaa the country to Ells
worth, Kan.. to Monmouth,' ill., 'then to
Villisca, la., and east to Boston, led th-
police to' befleve that pern'aps1 one mart
waa responsible-fw alt the crime The.
murder of the four persons In Blue Island,
III., in 1914 brought the total aumbcr of
victims to thirty-one.
All the murders were committed by a
man who teed 'an axe and the crimes
were all the wcik of a man who virtu
ally left no clew behind.
In each Instance he waited until the
persons were aleep. ' AU the crimes
were committed on a Sunday night.
A list ot othf-r axe murders-lp regard to
which Arelezewekl will be queslkmed,

"in the past our efforts have been

Note of Reproof Sent
Cleveland Firm by
Secretary Redfield
WASHINGTON. July 19,-Letter of re
proof written by Secretary Redflefld were
sent today to tha Cleveland Automatie
Machinery company of Cleveland, O., and
the American Machinist, New Tork
trade magailne, dealing with the publica
tion of an -advertisement 'of poisonous
acid loaded shell. It was announced by
the Department of Commerce that Presi
dent Wilson, after looking over the let
ters prepared by Secretary Redfield, di
rected Acting Secretary Sweet to forward
them.
The letter to J. P. Brophy, general man
ager of the Cleveland concern, character
ises the advertisement In question a
"atrocious" and says:
"At a time when every Instinct of pat
riotism call for calm and self-restraint,
when sobriety of statement Is always a
supreme duty, you, a you admit, to gain
pottos to an advertisement, draw a pic
ture of human misery aa a mean ef earn
ing a profit through th sale of machines
to produce ft."
In hi letter to the Hill Publishing com'
pany, publisher of th American Ma
chinist, Secretary Redfield wrote:
"The time Is one of peculiar excitement,
with half the world on fire, and we alone
of the great nation are outside of the
conflict. At such a time when restraint
and calm ia th duty of every citlten your
column were open to statements calcu
lated t arouse wrath and kindle excite
ment, as the result has shewn. 1 trust
the offense against humanity and against
that self-control which is a patriotic duty
may not be repeated."
The Investigation by the Department of
Commerce developed that the Cleveland
concern had for ssle a machine which
wa not primarily designed to turn out
poison acid shells, but which could be
used for thst purpose.
