FRENZIED MOTHER
Split Open the Heads of Her -Four
49,. Children.
CUT HER OWN THROAT
Dragged Bodies of Little Ones Into a
Closet and Set Fire to Them and
Herself - Had previously Shown
Signs Of Mental Deransement.

Sturbridge, Mass, March PA
frenzied mother in the little hamlet OF
Fiskdale, after cutting off every means
OF escape by fastening windows and
doors, crushed in the heads of her
four little children Monday, threw
their bodies into a closet, scattered oil
over them and herself and then, after
setting all on fire, closed her awful
work and her own life by cutting her
throat
II was Mrs. Peter Burke, the wife Of
a machinist in an augur factory, who
committed the fearful deed, and her
victims were Lila, six years; William.
five; Louis. one and half. and May
Rose, five months old, respectively.
That the woman had previously
showed signs of mental arrangement
seems to be admitted, but that ii
should have taken such a violent form
was not even thought of by her hus-
band, now completely Frustrated, or
her own relatives.
Two boys happened TO be passing
the house when they saw smoke com
ing from a window. They prevented
the flames from reaching above the
first floor. Up TO that time no one
knew of the tragedy. But someone no
ticed that closet door, which seemed
to be more charred than the rest OF
the woodwork, was open, and glancing
inside, a blackened mass was seen. In
this heap were the bodies of Mrs.
Burke and her four children. The lit
tie ones had their heads split open,
while the cause of the mothers death
was seen in the gaping wound in her
throat.

PULP CASE DECIDED.
Important Matter Affecting Michigan
Concerns Settled.

New York. March 24-The board or
classification OF the United States gen
eral appraisers Monday decided the
Canadian wood pulp case, which has
attracted a great deal Of attention not
only from manufacturers OF both pulp
and paper, but from newspaper pub
fishers as well.
There were two protestants in the
case. +. w. Meyers a. Co., acting for
Hollingsworth. Whitney & Co. of Bos'
ton and the Sault Ste Marie Pulp and
Paper Co. Of Michigan.
Two distinct questions were pre-
scented TO the board. One related to
pulp imported from Quebec and the
other to pulp from Ontario. In each
case the pulp is made from wood cut
on crown lands.' Under the law of
Quebec, the commissioner OF crown
lands rs authorized 10 grant licenses
TO cut timber on the ungranted lands
of the crown. subject TO the payment
Of tax OF 50 cents per cord for pulp
wood cut, rebate Of % cents per cord
being allowed on timber manufac-
tured into paper pulp In the Dominion
Of Canada" TIE United States Gus.
TOMS authorities ltNltu al duNlllOndl
duty equal Ia the % cents rebate al
lowed
The board Of classification now over
rules the protest relating 10 the pulp
from Quebec, and the action OF the
collector in that particular place is
sustained.
Precisely the same additional duty
had been imposed upon the pulp from
Ontario. Under the law of that prov
ince. however, no one is permitted to
cut pulp wood on crown lands unless
il is 10 be manufactured in Canada.
AS regards importations from Ontario
the board holds that the province of
Ontario "lcyies no export duty upon
wood pulp exported from its limits,
and therefore the additional duty i'm
posed by the collector upon the mer
chandise from that province was i'm
properly assessed. and his decision on
that point is reversed and he is in
structed 10 reliquidate the entry so as
to assess no such additional duty"
The decisions appealed from were
made by the collectors Of customs at
Burlington. Vt. and Marquette. Mich
under instructions from the treasury
department
An appeal 10 the federal courts
probably will be taken.

ARIZONA'S OPPORTUNITY
Is Coming This Way at Rapid
 Rate.

J. w. Walker has returned to the city after an absence of eleven months in
 the east. mostly in the New Eng land states. He came, back on Sun day morning but since then until yes terday he has been at the White gold mine in which he is one of the heaviest stockholders. He may have to return east soon to close up some details that are pending. Tho gold property.he says, Is in a very promising condition. Eight hundred feet Of work have Deen done and with every new foot of work the outlook. becomes the moro flattering.
 Tn the course of the last half dozen years Mir. Walker has made many east ern trips but he never before heard this territory so favorably and so widely discussed as he did on this jour ney. Millions oi dollars of capital is going to be poured into Arizona within the next few months and much of it is coming into the Salt River valley All kinds of people will be among the in- vestors. Some of them will be men wko want mines and others who want homes and farming lands. The cer- tain prospect Of the Tonto Basin stor- age reservoir is naturally a great stim-
 ulus.
 Men with money have come to believe that there is no other place : in the country in which they can make so much out of their money as in Arizona. So if there were
 no reservoir or no prospect Of ono ! there would still be heavy Investments made in the territory but the valley would profit only indirectly.
 MT. Walker believes that the people already here who want to share in the general prosperity due to arrive here soon should be in a hurry to get hold of property; that they should take hold of it any way they can-by the horns if necessary. There will be no trouble i about letting go at profit.

 A divorce was granted Hattie P. Will son from JeH Wilson. both colored. The defendant has not been heard of in this community for some years but at one time he occupied prominent place in the public mind because it was eX pected that he was going to die a vio- lent death by hanging. He had been charged with the murder of soldier at Fort McDowell and he was convict ed in the United States court and was sentenced to be hanged. Shortly be- fore the date fixed for that tragic event he got a new trial at which it was found that much of the evidence against him was not reliable and so great a doubt regarding his guilt was raised that he was acquitted.

THE CHA BEND BURGLAR
How He Disposed of Damaging Evi-
 dence Left Behind Him.

Deputy Sheriff E. C. Row1u oi Gila Bend arrived in town yesterday morn ins with the Burglar who broke into the store of F. G. Caruthers last Monday morning and who made his escape from the building while he was being hotIy hunted for. by jumping through a glass door,
 He says his name is Frank Martin. He denied that he was the burglar but hs admitted that the coat and shoes found in the store were his but he ac- counted for their presence there by say ing that they had been stolen from him by the man who committed the bu~e- lary. There was though one bit of evil deuCe against him which he could not explain away to the satisfaction of Justice Coyle before whom he was ex- amined. The palm of his right hand was found to be badly cut and the la cerations were of the kind that broken glass would make. He was held to the grand jury ii1 the sum of $500.
 Martin is a hobo. He had been in Gila Bend two days al the time oi the burglary. He had put in the time play in monte with the Mexicans and Indi- ans. The day before the burglary he had sold the last article of value he possessed to raise money for the gaSe. It was a revolver. The officers believe that if he had had that weapon with him he would have made stand in the darkness of the store instead of jump ing through the window.
 Another point against him is that he had told another hobo that he made Q living by robbing country stores.
