HING Herself with sheet.

Hawarden, Oct. 13.-Mrs. A,
Sunden, mother of Mrs. Walter Smith
of Hawarden, was found hanging in
the cellar. The deed was evidently
committed during the night, as the
body was cold when found. She was
called to breakfast, but did not re-
spond. A search revealed no one in
her room. After breakfast the eel
lar revealed a CHASTITY scene. The de-
mented woman had hung herself by
the use of her own bed sheets.

FASTEST BATTLEsHIP.
Wisconsin Breaks All Records on Her
Trial Trip on SANTA barbara.

Santa Barbara, Cal, Oct. 13.-The
battleship Wisconsin broke all rec
ords on her trial trip here and is the
fastest ship of her class in the world
Her official average for the four
hours run is announced as 1925
knots, or fifteen hundredths better
than the record made by the Alabama.
The trial took place over the regular
course in the Santa Barbara chan
mel and the conditions were only
fair. There was fresh breeze from
the eastward, but the sea was COM
paratively smooth. The actual time
in which she covered the "a miles of
the trial course was 3:56:56, including
the turn for the run back. With the
time for the turn deducted and the
allowance for the tidal influences,
her actual speed was 17:25 knots.

Twenty of the largest cotton mills
OF the Piedmont district of South Car

Mayor Myers Thinks Citizens should
Know WI here Fires Are.

The Big Duke viii continue to sound
forth the fire alarm as it has done for a
number of years past There was a move
ment on foot to suppress the Big Duke
and it appeared likely to be successful,
but Mayor Myers said no.
Superintendent Mcguire in his annual
report of the fire department recommend
ed the discontnuance of the striking Of
alarms on the Big Duke and the large
bells at other engine houses and sup
ported his recommendation by several
good reasons. So far from the sounding
of the alarms on the bells being an advan-
tage to the fremen, the superintendent
said. the contrary is the case. Owing to
the mechanical construction Of the strik-
ing apparatus the alarm comes in more
rapidly on the engine house indicators
than on the Big Duke and the result is to
confuse the flremen, especially as there is
sometimes difference between the num-
Der registered by the indicator and that
announced by the bell.
The chief objection of the hremen, now
ever. is that the sounding of an alarm al
ways draws a crowd and causes excite
ment. especially in the business section,
when in the majority of cases the cause
of the alarm is Insignificant The gather
ing of the crowds on these occasions in
creases the liability to accident and makes
the work of the fremen more difficult,
especially for the drivers, who frequently
risk injury to their horses and machines
to AVOID running over some one. An
other reason urged by the superintendent
is that business men and others are fire.
quently unnecessarily alarmed because
they happen 20 have property interests in
the district indicated by the alarm. The
striking Of the Big Duke is also complain
ed of by residents of the neighborhood as
a nuisance. In conclusion, the supern-
tendent said that the use of public alarms
has been generally abandoned in cities
having modern fire departments.
Alderman Dixon, VINO is acting chair
man of the fire department In the absence
of Alderman Haas, was inclined to agree
with the superintendent The matter was
brought To- the attention of Mayor Myers
at the meeting Of Council last night. and
he promptly expressed his disapproval of
the idea There are TOO many people
who depend upon the Big Duke for their
notice of fires" said Mayor Myers, and,
besides, il is a local institution to which
our people are attached. In a small city
like Savannah there can be no more con-
Venient method OF giving general notice
of fires | am satisfied there would be
very general objection should the ring
ing of the Big Duke be discontinued"
The Mayor is undoubtedly correct IN
his opinion that there would be general
objection from the public to the discon-
tinuance of the Big Duke The right 10
know when there is a fire and where it
is and to respond to 1t If he chooses is
recognized as the prerogative of
every true Savannahian, and one of
which he would not consent to be depriv-
ed without very emphatic protest.

GRAND JURY HARD AT WORK.
Number of Indictments, One
Against Charles Carroll, Returned.

The grand jury of the Superior Court
spent two hours yesterday afternoon, in
vestigatng the charges brought by the
solicitor general against a number of Of
tenders. As a result dozen or more true
bills were found, and work for the court
for next week was provided
Anthony Smith was indicted for burglary
Hamilton Woods was indicted on two sep
arate charges of assault with intent to
murder. Clara Bradley is said by the
grand jury to have been entrusted by
Elizabeth Washington with the sum of $50
which, very carelessly, she applied to her
own uses and forgot to make good.
Cora Chapman is charged with being an
accessory before the fact to an assault
with intent to murder another negro wo-
man. The Chapman woman is said to
have provided the knife with which the
murderous assault was committed. VIII
liam Mcdowell was indicted for simple
larceny.
Joe Mcknight, on exporter at the
Guards Club. is charged with bigamy.
The wife that joe last married was so
unfortunate as to compare notes with the
first and so indiscreet as to crow over
the fact that she was then in possess on
Of the faithless ones homage and admira>
ton the slumbering ire of the first wife
was aroused in this manner and war
rant sworn out by her was the first step
taken TO convince Joe tnat Hell hdth no
fury like a woman scorned."
Charles Carroll was indicted for assault
with intent to murder William Wallace.
This reverses the facts of the last trial
springing from the existent difficulties be-
tween the two men and their families, IN
which Wallace was the defendant and
Carroll the prosecuting witness. At that
trial Wallace was acquitted. The charge
of assault with intent to murder is based
ON CAROLS alleged attempt to shoot Wal
lace with a revolver The various and
sundry difficulties springng from the Car
roll-Wallacc feud are familiar to the read
crs Of the Morning News.
James jackson and James Johnson
were charged with assault with intent to

whom he is said TO have wronged.
The grand jury will meet again on next
Friday for the consideration OF other crm-
innl cases The intention is TO have pre-
ferred each week about the number Of
indictments that can be disposed during
the next week. A very large number of
criminal cases have been tried since the
December term first convened.

Two cases that had been continued on
account of the inability of the prosecutors
to appear when they were first summoned,
were also heard yesterday. One was

assault with attempt to murder
