Auburn, CAL, Nov 12.-lt Is now

their 19-year-old daughter, Bertha, and
their son, Paul, aged Ia years, were
murdered last night by an unknown
assassin, who set fire to the home In
an effort to cover up his crime. Be-
fore the fire had made any great head
way the bodies OF the murdered woman
and her two children were rescued
from the burning house. Mrs. Weber
and her boy were still alive, but died
almost as soon as they reached the
afr.
officers are advancing no theories
but the facts would indicate that the
murders were the work OF mailman
or cool, calculating, premeditated
crime. The robbery theory is about
exploded as no incentive has been
found. Adolph Weber, 2 son, who
is the only member Of the family alive,
talks but little, but to the coroner and
sheriff he says he did not think the
motive was either robbery or revenge.
When asked IL he had a. theory he
said he had, but would not give 1t.
He did say reluctantly, that his father
had violent temper. The boy said
that he left the house about 6.3O and
came down town, purchased a pair of
trousers and did several other err
rands When he went to the fire he
dropped his old trousers, which were
in a bundle, in the burning building.
Young Weber was very quiet fellow,
a great reader and thinker, chess
player, palmist and dyspeptic. Two
22-caliber reyolvers were found, but
the bullets extracted from the body
were of 32-caliber. The officers are
looking for the pistol from which
they were fired.

"irregularities" were used in several
counties and hundreds Of ballots have
been held up by the supervisors in
Baltimore and in at least three coun-

nation, according to all indications,

In all the states 1t is simply a

of Missouri, this section Of the coun-

democratic column. The figures show
but 10 states with 1873 votes for Judge
Parker. President Roosevelt carried
all the northern states-swept them,

Of his ticket in many localities, notably
in Massachusetts, where he secured a
plurality of $4,000 votes, while the re-
publican candidate for governor was
defeated by $4,000. In that state the
legislature is republican and the entire
republican ticket with the exception
of governor was elected. In Missouri
circumstances are similar.
