Benedict had a narrow escape from a serious fire yesterday when the new house of James E. Stewart on Main street near the river shore was badly damaged. The house is a large frame structure and is located on the lot adjoining the site upon which the store building stood where the fire started two years ago when the town was almost wiped out. The wind was blowing at the rate of 15 miles an hour from the South. The prompt work of a bucket brigade under the leadership of James E.

Thomas prevented the flames spreading. The fire was caused by the Christmas tree igniting from a burning candle. The flames spread to the furniture in the room and by the time the residents of the neighborhood arrived at the scene the interior of the room was a mass of flames. The damage to furniture Is estimated at $500. That to the house could not be ascertained, but it was said to be covered by insurance.

The building is a two and half story structure with basement. It is a combination store and dwelling and is one of the most modern buildings In the town. TROLLEY LINE ASSURED Owners Of Right Of Way Are Get-tins Money For Rights. Cumberland, Jan. 9.

Arthur O. Lorentz, right-of-way agent for the proposed new trolley merger between the Cumberland and Westernport Electric Railway running between Cumberland and Westernport, via Frostburg, and the Pennsylvania and Maryland system, operating in Somerset county, Pennsylvania, is following the surveyors through Greenville township, Somerset county, and purchasing right of way. There seems no doubt that the merger will go which ultimately means a line between Cumberland and Johnstown through the Meyersdale and Somerset coal fields. In fact, the cars have been purchased for the line between Cumberland and Meyersdale, which is expected to be an hour and a quarter run. Meyersdale Is 37 miles from Cumberland over the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the run over the trolley line would be faster.

The distance would not be quite as long by trolley as rail. Mr. Lorentz. the right-of-way agent, paid William Warner $1,000 for a strip 50 feet wide through his land, and has also purchased and paid for the right of way through the property of Joseph Lewry. Nearly $2,000 has already been paid the property holders In the vicinity of Pocahontas.

Mr. Lorentz is now negotiating deals for right of way through the properties of Harvey Miller, A. G. Yutzy, Samuel Miller and George Baer. Greensboro Man Shot Easton, Jan.

C. F. Davidson operated, removing a large number of shot. Fortunately none entered his lungs, and he Is resting easily, but Is not considered out of danger. GIRL TELLS OF DEAD OUTLAW Inquest Into Killing: In London Develops No Identification.

London, Jan. 9. The inquest into the death of the desperadoes who were killed when the police and soldiers raided their lodging In Sidney street was resumed today, but developed no evidence positively identifying the two victims as those who murdered three police officers at the time of the Houndsditch burglary. Bessie Gerson, in whose rooms the outlaws had taken refuge, and who was ar Hopkins Athletic Association Reap points Football Coaches. NO BASEBALL TUTOR SELECTED Dr.

Magoffin And Sir. B. 11. GrU-Tvold, Will Pick Out Man To Teach The Nine. At a meetinir of the athletic board of Johns Ilopkins University held In the trophy room yesterday afternoon, Lynn and Siebar, who coached the football team last season, were reappointed.

The board could not agree upon a baseball coach, but it selected two names and one of the men will get the appointment. Dr. Magoffin and Mr. B. H.

Griswold, will make the choice within a few days. Mr. John Holmes withdrew his resignation as president of the athletic association under the persuasion of the board and the student body, who were eager for him to remain. The greatest surprise sprung at the meeting was the resignation of Head Coach Meyer, of the lacrosse team. Meyer was forced to resign because of the pressure of studies, laboratory work making it almost impossible for him to give the squad the necessary amount of time.

In his place the board appointed Pitts Raleigh, a member of last year's team, and a former Ilopkins lacrosse captain. Kaleign is an excellent player, and the board expressed the belief tint his experience would be invaluable if the squad. The reappointment of Lynn and Siebar was not unexpected and the news was received with much enthusiasm, for both men are popular at Hopkins. It is probable that the training of the Hopkins football squad will begin as soon as the men can be brought together, for the first team on the schedule is the Navy. Last year Ilopkins was late in developing because the university opened after most of the other colleges and the squad could not be formed.

Next year the Black and Blue is to face the strongest elevens it ever has met, and if Hopkins is to take its place among teams of such calibre an early start is absolutely necessary. The failure to select a coach for the baseball team will bring disappointment to the hearts of numbers of Hopkins students who are eager to begin training for the strenuous schedule that Manager Sattler has planned for his team. Captain Peiper is expected to call an organization meeting as soon as the selection is announced, and arrangements will be made for some definite system of practice! Following the old Hopkins custom of having a coach outline his methods of training to his squad, the coach will be called upon to give the candidates a short talk, and baseball enthusiasts are awaiting the announcement of the date when the first practice will be held. May Use Homenood. Just where the men will begin their training is still a problem, but the opinion prevails that the squad will use the cage for early work, and will be taken to Home-wood as soon as the warm weather sets in.

The suggestion to repair the old Country School diamond has not met with a great deal of favor, as it is argued that it would be both difficult and expensive to put these grounds in order, and besides, it is thought that the Homewood committee will consent to the use of the athletic field by the baseball team. If this can be Manager Sattler is confident that the nine wdll be a paying proposition, for the interest expressed in the introduction of baseball at Hopkins has been widespread. The excellent schedule that has been planned assures big crowds if the grounds are accessible. Every day finds more students expressing their determination to come out for the baseball squad, and though the management is not ready to announce the names of those who will be candidates, all agree that they will number between 40 and 50. Several months ago it was feared that the chief weakness of the Black and Blue team would be its pitching staff, but now there seems to be no danger of this, for there are a couple of good twirlers in the medical and graduate departments, and Manager Sattler and Captain Peiper have had experience in the box.

Sattler twirled for the Country School a couple of years ago, and Peiper was one of the star pitchers of a former City College nine. TO SEEK NEW IDEAS Local Men On Anto Show Committee Go To See Gotham Display. The matter of floor space for the exhib itors in he coming 'automobile show of the Baltiomre Automobile Dealers' Association and the Automobile Club of Mary-laud, which is to be held in the Fifth Regiment Armory the week of February 21. has finally been straightened out, after some deep thinking and hard work on the part of Secretary Luzius. It is expected that the new plans for space will prove entirely satisfactory to the dealers who will display their cars.

The aisles, which were very wide, nave been cut down materially, thus making much more room for the exhibits. This will enable the floor space to be divided by all the dealers who have made application for room, although they will not be able to show all the machines they had originally planned to display. Six recent applications for space have been received by the committee, which will be reeognized, inasmuch as the exhibition space has been enlarged, and at the present time there are plans made to display almost 200 cars. This number undoubtedly will be increased by other applications. There are now close to SO dealers who will be represented by displays.

The commit tees have all been working hard, and con siderable has been accomplished. Dr. II. M. Rowe, II.

M. Luzius, Joel Nas- sauer, Joseph M. Zamoiski and C. I. Callahan will" leave tomorrow morning for New York, where they will, with the other members of the joint committee, take in the Gotham automobile show.

Messrs. H. J. Sturdevant, A. Stanley Zell and W.

L. Duck are already in New York, while Thomas G. Young will leave his morning. They will look for ideas and suggestionc for the local show, as to lighting and decorations. BIG FIELD OF GOLFISTS aiidwinter Tourney At Finehurst Attracts Many Players.

Kokomo, Jan. 9. In return for all the hunting dogs that have been mistaken for game and shot to death by hunters, Albert Zell's faithful canine shot his master. Zell had found a rabbit in a brush heap and was trying to beat it out. He had laid his shotgun on the ground.

His dog trotted about eager to bag the rabbit. A paw placed upon the trigger of the gun brought a howl of pain from Zell. Part of the load of shot lodged In his elbow. Another part of it tore through the pocket of his hunting coat. Still another part of the load instantly killed a second hunting dog.

Zell will recover. May Change Polo Game. London, 9. An innovation in the game of polo, as played in England, is contemplated. In view of the prospective Anglo-American match, the Burlington Polo Club, one of the leaders in the sport, has suspended the offside rule for the coming season and has invited other clubs to follow suit as an experiment to decide whether the American game should be permanently adopted.

Many British play ers consider the American game superior to their own. Mrs. Caroline B. Martin Pleads Non Vult To Manslaughter Charge. WILL BE SENTENCED SATURDAY Mrs.

She made a scene in court, and for5 a few minutes seemed likely to change her mind.

i The plea of "non vnlt' is a plea of guilt without criminal intent. Mrs. Mar-S tin wanted the plea worded manslaughter," but the prosecutor. Wilbur-A. Mott, and Judge Jay Ten Eyck re fused to permit it, saying there was no such crime under the laws of New Mrs.

sternly. The Court rapped for order. Martin, sobbing loudly, sat down, crving: "I didn't do anything. I didn't d. anything." "Do you wish to plead to the charge manslaughter?" Judge Ten Eyck asked the accused woman.

"Hypocrisy," jshe Crle. "I don't know," she replied between' sobs. "I'm in the hands of you Jersev-meu. I never harmed my daughter. I'd rather go to the electric' chair ten thousand times than put up with all this hypocrisy." No one in court understood just what she meant by this.

Jan. 9. Thirty-two men and three women, all of whom have attempted suicide at some time during their lives, have formed an organization here to be known as the New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Suicide. The members believe that by brightening the lives of those who are depressed through grief or physical suffering the number of suicides every year can be lessened. AH who have signed the charter, declare It was either grief or pain, making them temporarily insane, that led thorn to seek death.

Walter Hannison, who tried twice to end his life, is the originator of the new, club and Its president-. FVhlir arm.

In discussing the purposes of the club, Mr. Hannison said 1 "All of us who are in the club thank' God that we did not succeed in destroying! ourselves, and we feel that advice to those who contemplate suicide will do nillr-h good.

"A man or woman who attempts suicide' must be at least temporarily insane, all-of us believe. One of the members told1 us she thought that some one else was! cutting her throat while she was slashing! it herself with a razor. She denied rnak-' ing any plans for death.

STANDARD OIL PAYS $23,766 Fine Assessed By Federal Court For Accepting: Rebates. Buffalo, N. Jan. 0. The Standard Oil Company paid into the Federal Court here today $23,766, the fineassessed against it for accepting rebates.

This is the first fine ever collected by the Government since the prosecutions under the Anti-Rebate law-were begun. The Standard Oil Company was indicted by the Federal grand jury here early ia 1909 for accepting rebates on oil shipments from Olean, N. to Bellows Falls; via the Pennsylvania. New York Central and Vermont Central Railways. The oil was shipped at 16 cents a hundred from points in this State, though the published rate was 28 cents.

Judge Hazel, who, heard the case here, decided that there ex-i Isted an arrangement between the Standard I Oil Company and the first two railroads, and those railroads were subsequently indicted. The conviction was obtained in June. 1908, and a fine of $20,000 was imposed in March the following year. Judgment was entered in June, 1909. An appeal of the oil i company to the United States Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari was denied and there was no alternative but to pay the fine.

The company also had to pay the costs of the action. MRS. DRUMM0ND NO. 3 SUES Asks 50,000 From Millionaire For i Blgamon) Marriage. St.

WRITES OF RECLASSIFICATION Johnny MoCraw And Fred Tenner ike Ballplayers Who Have Lots Of Confidence. President Kdward Barrow, of the Eastern League, is (strictly on the job these days. Barrow has made a good president for the organization so far. lie has not made a move without notifying the magnates of the league, which is a business way of going about things. Barrow's latest communication to th magnates dealt with the story he gave out a few nights ago denying that the Eastern League was ubout to declare war on organized baseball.

The leader of the Eastern League wrote Jack Dunn that he thought the league magnates would be well re-reived and kindly treated when they went before the National Commission, and that he was pleased with the stand taken by 'residents Lynch and Johnson in regard to the reclassification which Is desired. The New York Journal published the following wtory about McGraw and Tenney on ballplayers who have an abundance of confidence: The young ballplayer who is so chock full of confidence that he has begun to show symptoms of the "swell head" will always have a chance with John McGraw and Fred Tennoy. "In my 20 years on tb. diamond," said the Giant manager last night, "I have never een one of those so-called 'swell-headed' men who was not a good player. Look over the list of players In the two big leagues today who are Raid to be afflicted with the 'swell head' and you will find that nearly every one of them is a star." "For Instance," continued Mac, as be pulled out a letter, "here is a young fellow that I think will get a chance to see what he can do." Iff then read the letter: "Dear Kir: I um a young fellow who is some athlete.

If you will give me a chance, I will show you In two months' time that I can put It all over Hal Chase or any other first baseman in the world. I am only 20 years old, but I ain feet high and I can hit that ball us well as field. All I need is a chance, and I'll show you. in a very short time who is going to be the best first base- man In the country." Met; raw did not give the name of this youngster, but lie admitted that he had never heard of him before. "You know 1 like to have a young fellow talk like i hat." said the Giant manager.

"A fellow with that much confidence and determination hound to do something. It shows he has a righting spirit because he Is willing to take a chance. I think I will look him over." "When a man tells me that he knows that as swell-heudedness. There never lie Is a good hall player I don't look on was a good ball player who did not know that he was good. I will admit that there are few who think they are good ball players when they are not, but that is very rare, and down in their hearts it is often the case that they do not really believe it I will take a chance on the young fellow with the swell head every time." Fred Tenuey.

who is to manage the ISoston cluh, has the same views on the subject as McGraw. They were talking it owr the other day when Tenney was In i own. and Fred gave some very striking illustrations to carry out his point. "Show me a ball player." said Tenney, "who has the reputation of having a swell lietiil. and I'll show you a star.

Everybody in the country is of the impression that Ty Cobb has a swell head. If that is true, he certainly has a reason for bng swell-headed. I don't think It Is a case big head with him. He simply knows bow good he is and he does net attempt to hide it. They say the same thing about Kddio Collins, but.

that dcesn't hurt his playing. Naturally, when a player has achieved as much in a profession as Collins lie feels a little cooky end walks with bis head up. But that is net necessarily a a ise of swell head." Manager Clark Griffith, of the Cincinnati Nationals, announces that he will send his pitchers and catchers to Hot Springs, March 1. He will work there wtth his several pitchers and three catchers for almost two weeks, when the remainder of the team will go South. Several exhibition grimes planned for Cincinnati for the spring season will make the stay at Hot Springs short.

Chairman August Herrmann, of the National Commission, announces that the new position of assistant to himself has been offered to Secretary A. Flanner. of President Ban John-son's staff in Chicago. This position will pay a year and traveling expenses. President Lynch of the Natonal League announced the following contracts and releases Contracts With Brooklyn, P.

New York. Jan. 9. The so-called independent automobile manufacturers won a sweeping victory today In the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in a reversal of the decree of Judge Hough, in the Circuit Court, wherein the- Selden patent was upheld. The higher court's ruling declares that the defendants "neither legally nor morally" owed anything to the patentee, and holds that the improved Ctto engine, used by the defendants in motor vehicle construction, is the equivalent of the Selden engine, but that its use Is not an infringement of the Selden patent.

Accordingly, Judge Hough's injunctions against the Ford Motor Company, Panhard and Levasser and others, restraining them from using the Otto engine on the ground of infringement, must be dismissed by the lower court, to which the causes were remanded with such instruction. The opinion of the Circuit Court of Appeals, written by Judge Noyes, says, in part Patentee Empty Handed. "While the conclusion of non-infringement which we have reached leaves the patentee empty handed with respect to the patent for the short time it has to run. It cannot be regarded as depriving him through any technicality of the first reward of his labors. He undoubtedly appreciated the possibilities of the motor vehicle at a time when his ideas were regarded as chimerical.

Had he been able to see far enough he might have taken out a patent as far-reaching as the Circuit Court held this one was. "The Brayton engine was ttie leading engine at the time and his attention was naturally drawn to its supposed advantages. He chose that type. In the light of events we can see that had he appreciated the superiority of the Otto engine and adapted that type for his combination, his patent would cover the modern automobile. He did not do so.

He made the wrong choice and we cannot, by placing any forced construction upon the patent ox by straining the doctrine of equivalents, make another choice for him at the expense of these defendants, who neither legally nor morally owe him anything." Ground For Contest Removed. The Selden patent seeks to control the manufacture of virtually all gasoline automobiles in America. Many of the manufacturing companies hold licenses under that patent; but there are many others which operated independently and in defiance of the patent. The licensed companies were formed into the association of licensed automobile manufacturers, which excluded the independent companies from its undertakings, such as automobile shows and the like, and extensive legal complications were precipitated. Under today's ruling the ground for contest between the licensed and unlicensed dealers is removed, unless the scope of the Selden patent is changed by a subsequent ruling of the United States Supreme Court.

To Appeal To Supreme Court. Representatives of the Association of Licensed Automobile Manufacturers announced tonight that preparations were already being made to carry the matter to the Supreme Court. Application for a writ of certiorari will be made by the Columbia Motorcar Company and George B. Selden. it is stated.

The statement of the association says that approximately 80 per cent, of the gasoline motorcars manufactured in this country are now licensed under the Selden patent, many companies having applied for licenses after Judge Hough's decision in 1900. FOUR GREEKS ROBBED OF $1,000 Held Up, Bound And Chloroformed In Camp Car. Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 9. Held up at the points of pistols, bound and chloroformed, four Greeks, employed in a construction gang, were robbed of $1,000 by two men at Westerville last night.

The four laborers had just seated them selves for supper in the camp car at Westerville when two men entered the car and, pointing revolvers, ordered that they throw up their hands. Frightened into submission the Greeks did as ordered, and while one of the hold-up men held them at bay with two revolvers the other bound them with ropes. Chloroform was then administered to the victims until tl.ey became unconscious. Then $800 was taken from their clothes and $200 from a trunk. The robbers escaped.

ADAM AN INVENTION, HE SAYS Bishop Lawrence Asserts Man De scended From The Ape. Boston, Jan. 9. In answer to a request from the audience that he explain his statement of man's descent from the ape Bishop Lawrence, in Ford Hall, last night declared that "the story of Adam and Eve was a parable invented to satisfy the child mind of the early man." "It is just as we give to the child today." continued the Bishop, "that God made us and then explain later on, when his mind develops and he will understand the theory of evolution."

9. Preliminary to the annual meeting tomorrow of the stewards of the Grand Circuit an informal convention of representative horsemen was held in this city today. About 100 owners, track officials, trainers, breeders and drivers who had responded to an Invitation of P. H. Devereaux, of Cleveland, president of the Grand Circuit, discussed freely numerous phases of harness racing.

The advisability of returning to the plan of having a presiding judge for each association, which obtained prior to the incorporation of the circuit in 1907 instead of one judge for the entire circuit, was one of the questions scheduled for consideration. LOOKS LIKE J. A. O'SHEA Washingtonian Favored For Vice-Presidency Of South Atlantic. EDW.

TYLER TO BE PRESIDENT Problem Was To Find Itight Man To Help Active Head Candi- date A Georgetown Graduate. It looks like James A. O'Shea, the old Georgetown athlete, will be the new vice-president of the South Atlantic Association of the Amateur Athletic Union. When Dr. Wiber, the president, died recently In Washington, everyone in athletic circles seemed to agree that Mr.

Edward Tyler, the well-known attorney of Baltimore, would become the head of the organization, since he has had considerable experience with the affairs of the body. But the main problem was to find the right man to succeed Mr. Tyler as vice-president. Finally, after all of the Washington eligibles were sized up the choice seemed to drift toward Mr. O'Shea and it appears that he now has easy sailing to the position.

Mr. O'Shea is a brilliant young attorney, practicing in Washington, and he is being spoken of for the position of one of the assistant District Attorneys. He was at Georgetown when that university turned out many athletic stars, and he always has taken the deepest sort of interest in athletic affairs. He has served as a director of the South Atlantic for some time. The directors of the South Atlantic will hold a meeting in the near future and elect Mr.

Tyler president, and Mr. O'Shea, in all probability, will be his running mate. TRINITY'S BASKETBALL DATES Doc Adkins AVI1I Coach Their Baseball Team Again. Durham, N. Jan.

UNDUCH GIVES UP CUP Billiard Trophy Must Be Won Again To Become His Property. The amateur billiard tourney, of Maryland is to start Thursday night at Klein's. The championship of 1910 was won by William L.

Unduch in masterly play last year. Yesterday he surrendered the cup. His 1910 victory won but one leg of his trophy. It must be won twice consecutively to become permanent property. Unduch must defend his title of champion and the leg he won of the cup in this year's open tourney.

The cup is over 12 inches high and stands on an ebony base oi six inches. It is a trophy which will repay a winner's efforts, but It carries with it more than its intrinsic value. It carries the title of the amateur championship of The schedule for this season's opening game brings into play James Sommers and Henry V. Boykin, men who have never before contested.

SUBURBAN POOL GAME C'ockeysville And Catonsville Clubs Meet Tonight At Klein's. At Klein's Parlor tonight, in the Suburban Amateur Pool League tourney, Catonsville Country Club will meet Cockeysville.

Cock-eysville is now fourth and looks to be as good as second in a short while. Catonsville Country Club is fifth, and also has a chance to finish well up among the leaders. Cockeysville's chances look good, as A. Patrick, in the last match ran 20 balls straight. Catonsville Country Club has a well-balanced team.

Thus far this team has done nothing startling, but is liable to break out in any game. The league has yet two months' play before completing its schedule. TIGER'S BASEBALL SCHEDULE Baltimore Orioles Get On The List For One Game. Princeton, N. Jan.

Jones, manager of Ad Wolgast, lightweight cham pion of the world, reached an agreement Monday for a championship fight, the date of which will be settled within GO days.

It was agreed that the boxers should weigh 133 pounds on entering the ring. Wolgast has resumed training at his home in Cadillac, iu order to strengthen lii3 left arm which has shrunken an inch arid half iu size since it was broken. Patay Kline, the Newark featherweight, who has been mowing them down with his trusty knockout punch of late, is trying to cultivate a new sleep producer for the benefit of Champion Abe Attell. It does not seem likely that he can hang anything like that on the wily Attell, but stranger things than that have happened inside the padded ring-posts. Kline is to tackle Abe at O'Rourke's Na tional Sporting Club Friday night, and he regards the bout as a golden opportunity.

Should he only hold the champion his stock will go a-booming on the pugilistic market. Right now Kline is in the best form of his career. He has won all of his last 10 fights by the knockout route. On any kind of dope he is bound to make it interesting for Attell. He is training Hard witn tnat end in view, at any rate.

When Friday night arrives be will be as fit as the pro verbial fiddle. Jack Johnson, heavyweight champion, Is ready to give James J. Jeffries a return match any time he wants it. This declaration was made following charges that Jeffries was doped in his recent fight at Reno and that was the reason Johnson had such an easy time beating him. Johnson appeared unconcerned over the charge.

will fight Mr. Jeffries any time he wants to fight." the big fellow said. 'T will not ask anything unreasonable, except that I will demand the champion's end of the money. I am getting tired of these dope stories and am ready to sign up for an other match and show thera that Jack John son Is the real champion." Back to the mountain cave with that dope story, Jeff Leo Houck. the great fighter of Lancaster, who fought "8 fights last year, is another American scrapper who is going to Paris to engage in battles.

Houck is booked to box at the Wagrom Club, of Paris, and will sail for the other side with his manager on January 29. Houck is signed up for three fights. Matty Baldwin, who has been laid up for several months with a broken hand, which he received in a battle with Battling Hurley, will esumo fighting on January 11). He has been matched to meet Paul Kohler, the 'Western fighter, for 12 rounds on that night at the Armory A. of Boston.

This will be their second meeting. Paddy Lavin, the hard-hitting welterweight of Buffalo, aud link Russell, the sturdy fighter of Philadelphia, have been matched to meet in a lO-rouud bout at a show to be brought off at Buffalo, N. Y-, on Monday evening, January 23. Lavin Is rapidly forging to the front in the welter weight class as a result of his many victories. A match has been arranged between Joe Stein, the New York fighter, and Joe Sei ger, of Denver.

They will come together in a 10-round bout in New York on Thursday night. Selger has been boxing in Philadelphia since he fought Young Otto at the Long Acre A. C. Stein ought to make Selger fight his hardest, as he is a strong, willing fighter. Ready For Baseball Season.

She said that the men came to her house a little before midnight. In one of them she recognized a friend named Joseph.

She did not know his surname. His companion was a stranger to her. At midnight she told them that they must leave. They refused, saying that they could not go into the street again that night. She urged and finally threat ened to arouse the other families in the building.

At this her visitors assumed an ugly attitude and terrorized her. To make sure that she would not leave the house, they made her remove her skirts, shoes and stockings, and then drove her into a back room, where she was told to remain quietly. The body of the "Joseph" mentioned by the witness, and who was known in this country as Joseph Fogel, was identified at the morgue today as that of Joseph Rudze- wlcz, who came from Kovno, Russia. The ashes of the Sidney street house have yielded little to help the police in their effort to run down the supposed band of anarchists. The supposed bombs discovered in the debris Saturday have turned out to be harmless implements used by button makers.

Nothing human has been found beyond what belonged to the bodies of Rudzewicz and his companion. A Russian known as Stinie Morrison was remanded In Police Court today, charged with the wilful murder of Leon Beron, whose mutilated body was found on Claphani Common. The prisoner is known to have been in the company of the Frenchman on the night of the crime. KILLS LOVER AND HERSELF Couple Entered Suicide Girl Firing Fatal Shots. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun.

Lexington, Jan. 9. Jessie Wilson, 20 years old, and Almont Fain, the 6ame age, committed suicide here today, according to a compact entered into a few minutes before the girl fired the shots which took both their lives. They wrote letters, which were similar, and to the effect that since they could not live together they preferred death. The girl did the shooting, but took better aim at herself than she did at her' sweetheart, she dying instantly and he living until tonight.
