William Cahill, Carpenter Breaks a
 Wrist and is Shocked Internally.
 William Cahill, aged twenty three years, a carpenter, was badly injured yesterday morning through the falling of a scaffold about twenty feet from the ground and in front of a house con- structing on Edgewood avenue.
 At the time of the accident Cahill was at work on the scaffold, the fall of which was due to the giving away of a support. He was taken to his home, 143 Putnam street, in the police ambulance. He broke a wrist and was shocked internally, but it is not believ- ed that he will suffer seriously.

HOLLAND TORPEDO BOAT.
Novel Submarine Craft Launched at
Elizabeth.

Novel Submarine Craft Launched at
Elizabeth.
ELIZABETH, N. j., May 1.-THE
Holland submarine torpedo boat was
launched at the Crescent ship yards, in
this city today The inventor Of the
beat, John P. Holland, has closely
watched the constipation of the ves-
SELL The vessel was christened "The
Holland" by Mrs. Nixon wife Of Lieut..
Lewis Nixon, the constructor. There
were few present at the launching. In
ventor Holland says there will not be
any attempt at submarine evolutions
for several weeks. The construction
of the boat has been eagerly watched
cylindrical in shape; is fifty feet long,
with four foot screw protecting ex-
tension. The diameter is ten feet amid
ships, and the moulded diameter Is the
same. The boat can travel under water
eight knots an hour and ten knots an
hour on the surface. The power comes
from gosoline engine, and a dynamo,
the former to be- used when the boat
is sailing along the surface and the lat
ter when she is, submerged. 1t will
take less than a minute to submerge
the boat, and about the same length Of
time for her to rise TO the surfaee.
The armament consists of three tor
pedo tubes, which: will discharge high
explosives Six men will constitute
the crew. Mr.. Holland was asked by
the United States British and Spanish
governments to allow a representative
on board during the trial trip of the
boat, but he refused the request After
trial trip, he says, he will allow an
engineer from each government to see
the workings Of the boat, which, it is
believed, will revolutionize warfare.
Several foreign nations have bid for
the vessel, but it is likely that Mr..
Holland will sell her to the United
States.

PITTSBURG, Pa, May T.-Large
delegations of Baptist women From
various sections Of the country arrived
here this morning to attend the open
ing exercises of the twentieth ami
versary Of the Women's Home Baptist
Mission society. This is the first Of the
series of May anniversaries of the diff
ferent Baptist bodies, to be held in the
United States during the next ten
days, and which, it Is expected, will
bring to this city from 1900 to $500 del
egates. The session began at o'clock
this afternoon with a fellowship meet
ing, followed by greetings from Miss
and Mrs. Taylor for New York. Greet
!ngs were then given by the presidents
of city unions, associated directors and
others. At 4: p. m. Mrs H. F. Smith.
Of New Jersey, conducted a service Of
prayer and praise. xd

the financial report of each of the var
ious organizations is made, it is expect
ed the books will show that the numer-
GUS societies and churches have raised
a sufficient amount Of money to cap
ture the $250,000 offered by John D.
Rockefeller to free the missionary So
cieties of debt. The total debt Of the
organizations aggregate $4S6,000, and.
to become entitled to the gift of Mr.
Rockefeller. it is necessary that the
church raise 1926, 900. Goodly sums
! were raised on the occasion of special
services in this direction. In addition,
sums ranging from $3.50 to $1,000 and
$4,000 have been contributed. Not in
the history of the church has such
active work been done. and the execu-
tive heads CT the society believe that
Mr.. Rockefeller's offer has been cover
ed, or that it has been so nearly so
! that the balance can be raised before
the delegates return to their homes.

Devils Lake Man Wanted on Charges
Z of Embezzlement.

DEVILS LAKE, N. D., May H.
The National Elevator company has tel
egraphed the chief of police at Tampa,
Fla, to arrest and hold for requisition
papers Jerome Thompson, who has had
charge of the company's elevator here
for the past two years. Supt. Smell,
of the elevator company, has been MAX
ing a careful investigation Of the do
ings of Thompson, and appearances in
dictate that the company has been sys-
dramatically swindled. About ten days
ago Thompson was summoned to Min
lneapolis to make an accounting. He
called on the company once, but failed
to show up again. Suspicion was
aroused which resulted in the course
of action stated.
Thompson operated an elevator at
Wahpeton before coming here. One
morning very early the elevator
burned. Last winter the elevator CT
the National company here, operated
by him, burned. A new elevator was
built and Thompson continued in
charge. He is very active in church

advocate. He Is sixty years old.

ONE ASSASSIN ONLY.
Officers Have No Clue to the MUIR
derer of the BOxen Family.

HOWARD LAKE, Mimi, May IL
The murder Of w. T. Boxell. an aged
resident of Wright county, and MS
young wife, Saturday night, was the
most awful crime that has occurred In
Wright county since the days or indian
massacres. The house where the crime
was committed is about mile and
half west Of Howard Lake near the
Great Northern railroad.
BoXell is sixty-five years old, has
fourteen children and fifty-three grand
children living, and lost his wife last
June. After so many years of married
life he soon tired Of being without
companion, and last winter began to
look around for a young wife. Miss
Lydia Oliver, a maid of eighteen years.
living in Middleville, consented to be-
come his wife after satisfactory prop
erty arrangements had been made. and
they were married at Buffalo about
three months ago. This arrangement
was very unsatisfactory to the child
rem.
Mr.. and Mrs. BoXell, with Robert and
George, his youngest sons, constituted
the family, and the boys were away
fishing Saturday night, returning about
II o'clock. The door was usually left
unfastened for them, but they found 1t
the porch. This alarmed them, and,
after trying to look in the bedroom
window. they FASTENED to the home Of
a brother, Joe, about q quarter Of a
mile north. A couple Of neighbors were
aroused and started for town on horse
back, and these found the body of
Boxell in the road about 100 feet south
Of his house. Members Of the Masonic
lodge, which was in session, haStened
to the scene. Entrance to the house
was gained by breaking the fastening
on a screen door, and when they reach
ed the bedroom they found the body Of
the young wife where she had fallen
under the blows of the assassin. 1t
would appear that Boxell had been sum-
moned ITO the door by knock and
that a blow was struck him at once.
Finding himself unable to fight long
er, he probably ran, pursued by the as
sassin, who knocked him down in the
road and dealt the final blow. 1t was
found that he had been struck on many
parts of the body and the face was
fearfully distorted from the blows.
The murderer, after he had dealt the
final blow to Boxell in the road, re-
turned to the house and threw the ak
in the yard. He locked the door and
made his escape through a woodshed at
the back Of the house
There does not appear to be the slight
est clue and the officials are working
completely in the dark. The assault
seems to have been too vicious for rob-
berry to be the only motive, yet there
is no starting point from which to lead
up to a clue to the murderer

rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
tion Of the system, which the pleasant

remedy with millions Of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all

effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal

fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-

Railway Notes.

There will be several important meetings
of the traffic and executive officials Of the
Western roads in Chicago today for the pur-
pose Of considering the rate situation. Among
the bodies which will meet will be the
Western traffic bureau, the Joint Western
the old transcontinental association. The lat
ter officials will take up passenger business.
The Chicago Great Western will, about
June 1, enter into a contract with the Chi
cago, Hammond & Western railroad, a belt
line running around the Chicago district,
whereby the Chicago Great Western can
carry on it's east and west-bound business
without sending the trains into Chicago,
which city Is always congested with freight
business. The new arrangement will be q
great saving in time.
Joseph Berolzheim, general passenger and
freight agent Of the Lake Michigan and Lake

city yesterday looking up business.
