Impatience to tin In Request Left by Will Bel lev rd to Have Rc-cn Mo tlp AcTued Man Long Member of Household. TP.E.VTON. N. J.. Nov. 15. (Special.) Following the brutal murder of ISev. Amzl L. Armstrong and his wife at lutch Neck. John Scars, a inulaito, son of the housekeeper employed by the Armstrongs, has been arrested and is reported to have made a confession. It It understood that Hears believed that some provision had been mads for him and his mother in the will of the aged minister and that lie was Impatient to obtain the bequest. Prosecutor Crossley declined today to affirm or deny the story of the confes sion or to discuss the theories advanced concerning the murder. He would not say whether a will had been found. Mrs. Sears had long been In the household and hrr son had lived there since his Infancy. An autopsy held by Coroner'a Phy sician Hchammell at the Armstrong home disclosed the fact that the aged couple had been killed with a shotgun. After the murder a shotgun, which Sears had borrewed from a neighbor, saying that he waa going hunting, was found In the kitchen of the house. Mr. Crossley said the state's case waa perfect and time Sears would be tried for murder In the first degree regard less of any confession. It Is under stood that In the confession Sears told what lie did with the watch that was taken from Mr. Armstrong's person. It is aald. also, that some of the county officers went to the Armstrong homo and found the timepiece In the wood shed, where Sears had hidden It. Sears, who is a mulatto, was not much given to associating with ne groes. He Is, or was, a member of the National Guard, belonging to a com pany at New Brunswick, and It was in this way that he formed the acquaint ance of Rudolph Norhaus, the yoong white man who came to Dutch Ncclc yesterday to go hunting with Sears. The prosecutor Is satisfied that Nor haus haa no knowledge of the double crime. Sears mother, the housekeeper of the Armstrongs, Is still at Dutch Neck, un der surveillance. sources, a National Income tax, direct election of United States Senators, ag ricultural extension and a non-partisan tariff commission were also favored. The speedy construction of a ship canal, connecting the Mississippi River with the Great Lakes; canal lines and the dredging of navigable rivera were Indorsed. A central bank and ship subsidies were opposed, as was the Federal Bu res a of Public Health. The proposal of the Insurgent melbers to spend 360.000 of the SllS.GOO surplus in grange extension during 1911 was de feated, but plans for an energetic cam paign were adopted. Further proceedings against H. I I.oucks, of South Dakota, author of a pamphlet entitled "Machine Rulo In the National Orange; a Betrayal of the Or ganization by Its National Officers, were stopped today by leaders In the Grange. 1-oucks, who fought the leaders for 10 hours yesterday, excused himself to day "because he evidently had been de ceived by the allegations of Mr. Hamp ton, of New York."

THE CHILDREN ENJOY Life out of doors and out of the fames which they play and the enjoyment which they receive and the efforts which they make, comes the greater part cf that healthful development which is so essential to their happiness when grown. When a laxative is needed, the remedy which is given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians and parents, well informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its bene ficial effects, is Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should be used by the fathers and mothers. If you would have them grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give them medicines when medicines are not needed, and when nature requires assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and gentle Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna. As you value the health of the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous dealers sometimes offer to increase their profits. Please to remember, the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co. is printed on the front of every package. To get its beneficial effects it is necessary to purchase the genuine only.
