TWO HOURS OF TORTURE WINS S3 00 IN LOOT Farmer Defies Two Robbers, but Fails to Save Stone, 'Big as Egg.’ CRYSTAL LAKE, 111., March 4. Thp sparkling stone as big a* a goose egg that Ed Tessendorf found on his farm and gave to his little son as a plaything was In the possession of thieves today. The farmer and his wiffe, Emma, were suffering from tortures the robbers inflicted to learn its hiding place. While digging a ditch months ago, Tessendorf spaded up the bit semitransparant stone. He gave it to his year-old son, Earl. Later the mother noticed the stone would cut glass. She persuaded her husband to send it to a Jeweler for evaluation. Two Men Demand Stone Gossip among neighbors said the stone was a diamond worth $40,000. Monday an automobile stopped in front of the Tessendorf S’ farm home, and two men got out. Before Tessendorf could defend himself, he fell under a blow from a pistol butt. "Where’s the $40,000 diamond,” the robbers demanded. “Don’t tell them, Ed,” his wife warned. Tortured for Two Hours For two hours Tessendorf was tortured. His cheeks were seared with glowing cigar ends. His nails were plucked out.

Just Leading Dog's Life

When you see a dog-catcher lasso a canine lolling on a corner curb this spring and you have tears prepared for shedding—don't shed them. For it isn’t all a dog's life by any odds at the city dog pound presided over by Dr. Elizabeth S. Conger. The above photo, caught at dog noon-time at the pound, demonstrates amply the reason for a silencer on the tear ducts. The dogs in the photo are feeding on good beef bones and milk chocolate. Righto!

REVIEW PLACES NEW LIGHT ON U. S. POLICIES Latin America Stand Not Based on Famous Monroe Doctrine. By United Prexx WASHINGTON, March 4.—As a presidential commission investigates conditions in Haiti and the Dominican republic emerges from brief rebellion, the state department has made public a lengthy review and interpretation of the Monroe doctrine which asserts American actions toward these and other Central American countries are not based upon that famous document. The review' and interpretation of the doctrine were written by J. Reuben Clark, undersecretary rf state, at the request of former Secretary Kellogg, who sought to persuade the senate foreign relations committee against attaching reservations to ratification of the Kellogg anti-war pact then under consideration.

financial or other difficulties in weak Latin American countries, the United States should attempt an adjustment thereof, lest European governments should intervene and, intervening, should occupy territory.” Clark limits the doctrine to a statement of a case of the United States against Europe, and he specifies that it is not a case of the United States against Latin America.
