months ago the grim old agronomy building on the university campus was torn down, its walls leveled to make place for a new capitol. There was no regret when the landmark disappeared. Residents shunned the place. It was there that Professor Oscar B. Turner kindly bachelor ins tructor, was murdered with an ax in June, 1925. A student instructor passed the building and looking through a borken window, saw the form of the professor lying in a splotch of blood on a stairway. The professor was still alive and made feabel efforts ‘o talk after wiping blood from his battered head. He died a few hours later in a hospital. On a shelf in the agronomy build- I ing was found a blood-stained ax. Exposure to air had destroyed finger print*. Police found where the murderer had washed his hands in the building. But they found no clues. There was none they could accuse. Professor Turner’s life was I uncovered for a motive. His simple ■habits, regular attendance at church the esteem in which he was held by his students defied accusation. The robbery’ motive was disproved when a gold watch and 111 were found on the body. In vain police offered ■ theories that some one tried to rob [him and was frightened away; that ’ [someone bore the 56-year-old man a i | grudge. Tiie case was listed as un'solved. There have been other cases, I some more recent, including the | I slaying of Joseph W. Stinson, for-; mer Gretna bank president serving a term in prison for embezzlement. Stinson, a prison trusty, was found shot to death on the pasture of the Hen Hur plantation last April. A plausible motive for the murder was never offered. The ntuider of Earl Miles is still under investigation. Police are con-

A man was murdered near Iron Mountain by three youths who didn't have enough money to pay him for liquor. Another was murdered near Manistee, he said under similar conditions. -2 — Wood* Colored by Hand There Is no known means of fix Ing the color of any soft woods when they are exposed to light and weather. All woods fade In a more or less degree (ebony, satinwood. Cuba or Spanish mahogany, the least) under exposure.

CUBANS MAKE FIN AL EFFORT (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) gering blow with the capture of Gen. Mario C. Menocal, head of the j rebellion and former president of Cuba. Menocal, soldier, statesman and formerly close to Machado, was' placefl in Cabana fortress at Havana. to await trial. Havana remained calm. Like th rest of the nation, the capital was under martial law, hut the revolution has failed to disturb the nor-| mal life of the city. General Menocal, captured in j Pinap Del Rio province last Friday, arrived in Havana yesterday. Un-1 shaven and his rough khaki field | uniform hanging in loose folds, tinrebel chieftain stepped ashore and without a word was taken by mot-i or car to Cabana fortress, on the! heights overlooking tile bay. The rebels w< re reported to be I well armed, but most of them are untrained. Lack of ammunition i sufficient for a sustained campaign ’ also was held as a factor which I would induce an early end of the revolt. — o Paitoral Ruse Rome popular pnstora, receiving calls to deliver .Sunday sermons in other cities, find they must cloak their movements In secrecy In order’ io avoid a reduction in alien 'lnner nt their own churches while they are away.
