BEHR MAY BE MURDERER OF
 MISS SCHAFER.
Louisville Police Take Opium Fiend Into Custody-Had Splotches Of Blood on His Clothing
 When Apprehended.

Huntsville. Jan 27.-With his clothing in several places clotted with blood, one cIot on the right coat sleeve being five inches long and three inches wide. his face badly scratched Harry Behr was today taken into custody as a suspect in connection with the murder of Miss Sarah Schafer at Bedford, Ind. the night of January A'
 Chief of Detectives Sullivan and Detec- tive Maher arrested Behr at the home Of Roger White a negro, with whom he has been boarding since the day following the murder. The grounds given for Behr s arrest are stated by the officers as fol- lows:
 Behr was met by the negro White Fri day morning, January 22 the day follow ing the murder. Behr was coming from the Louisville dock of the ferry line run ming to Jeffersonville, Ind. Bedford Is seventy-five miles from Louisville on the Monon road, the journey being made in three hours by passenger trains and i've to eight hours by freight trains. Behr bore two deep scratches. one on each side of his forehead. and two or three minor abrasions about the face. His clothing contains several blood clots of large size which he attempted to remove after going to Whites home. Behr. after his arrest. told an uncertain and disconnected story to account for his whereabouts at the time of the murder and in explanation of the wounds on his face. Some portions of his story are cOntradicted by his mother and other statements by Mir. Behr fail to full ly substantiate details as to time
 According to the story of the negro White, Behr asked for permission to board with him land smoke little hop" White assented and Behr went to the ne- gro's home where he remained until his arrest, going out but twice for brief in- tervals. Two days ago Behr produced newspapers containing accounts of the Schafer murder and asked Lizzie White to read to him the story of the murder. He was smoking opium frequently and was twice heard to say that he had a

woman's blood on his clothing. This morning Behr awoke from a stupor in- duced by "the pipe'' and screamed for Lizzie White, calling out that he had killed woman. The negress notified the detectives and l the arrest followed. To the officers Rehr l stated that he was q native of Memphis l and gave the address of his mother there. He declared that he left Memphis last Thursday night, coming to Louisville and remaining here. The cuts on his facN he claimed to have received during the turbulent municipal election at Memphis January z, during a row in the Ninth Ward.
 The local officers are now following up two trails. Some are endeavoring to 1 follow Rehr's movement from Memphis. Others have instituted an inquiry as to the possibility of his having ridden out of | BedwOrd on Monon freight train on the | night of the murder.
 The facts in favor of the prisoner are:
 The hair clutched in the dead woman's | hand was red while that of the prisoner
 is dark. Behr is an opium hend and the | detectives frankly admit that his cry uttered ta Lizzie White may have resulted from an opium dram following the read
 ing and discussion of the Schafer case. Behr's explanation of the freshness of the WOunoS on ms race IS that ne SuILerS | from eczema and they remained open, | although the election in Memphis and the
 row in which he claims to have partlci- pated occurred January 2.
 The work of tracing Behr's movements
 will take time and the case is at stand still for the present. The prisoner will
 be sweated again tomorrow.
 strong point In Behrs favor came to
 light at 10 o'clock tonight when a tele- | phone message was received from c. c. Howard, editor of a newspaper at Hodgenville, Ky. Mir. Howard stated that
 he boarded an Illinois Central train at ] Cecilia. Ky, last Friday morning. Shortly 1 after he got aboard there was a fight be-
 tween two passengers and on Towards
 making inquiry as to the names of the
 combatants he was told by man hailing
 from Memphis that one of them was Harry Behr of Memphis The man thus 1 identified. according to Towards story 1 answered in every way the description of
 the man arrested at Louisville today.

Meter Calculating Machins

Berlin, Jan.

By the use of this machine "a consumer can ascertain the amount of his bill at any time, for by simply turning a lever he receives a card upon which is printed the amount which he owes.

NEW YORK AND HAWAII
COUNTIES.

A discussion of the value of county
government in New York State leads
the opponents of county government
In Hawaii to draw decidedly strained
and amusing conclusion that the Amer.
lean people are contemplating a
reversal Of old ideals on local self
government. 1t appears that coun-
ty.government opponents in Hawaii
are hard pressed for an argument to
support their thoroughly un.American
cause.
The Buffalo writer quoted by the
centralizers would as soon think Of
proposing the adoption of the Russian
scheme of government, as favoring Ha-
walls present form of government or
anything like 1t for mainland commu-
mites. The mainland situation Is this: :
New York and other States have town
and city organizations within the coun.
ty, and county government within the
State. The point is raised that, in con-
sequence of the cities and towns pos.
sessing an Independent identity, free
local self-government, the county or
ganization might be cut out without
doing any injury. The Buffalo writer
is so much in doubt as to the advis-
ability of the plan that he refuses TO
commute himself.
Hawaii has neither town. city. nor
county government. Every nook and
hamlet is subject to one authority In
the CAPITOL building at Honolulu. This
Capitalization is unwieldy. as evidene.

Representative Andrade, attorney,
asked today what he had to say on the
question Of special session, had the
following TO say:
IF the scope of the work OF the
special session of the Legislature is
confined to financial measures, am in
favor of the calling the Legislature
together. On a general proposition,
am opposed to session. The credit
Of the Territory is at stake and II we
can hold a short session, reduce the
appropriation bills to their proper level
and place the government on a good
sound basis, then 60 ahead with the
session. However, must say that to
go UP and do as we did at the last ses-
sion, would be folly"
