MAY BE SUICIDE
HARVARD PROFESSOR ACCUSED
 OF KILLING HIS WIFE.
Chicago University Teacher Does Not Believe He Murdered His Wife. But Gives CredenEe to the
 Suicide Theory.

Chicago, April 30.-That Erich Auenter, breeding over the charge that he murdered his wife ill Cam bridge, Mass, and depressed to the verge of melancholia by grief over her death, has committed suicide is the belief of those who knew him best while he lived in Chicago.
 T am convinced now that Muenter did not kill his wife, said Professor J. M. Grove, of the University of Chicago yesterday. Muenter lived with Professor Grove while he was an instructor. at the university. I be- lieve, however, that he has committed suicide. Knowing his temperament as well as I do, I do not believe he with stood the shock of his wife's death and the blow which followed in charges that he murdered her. He was of morose disposition at best, and such misfortune as has overtaken him would be calculated to drive him to desperation. The fact that he left his children with his sisters would seem to me to strengthen the theory that he contemplated committing suicide when he left the home of his rela- tiyes."

cRAPsEY AT CORNELL.
Pastor Charged With Hcreay Says
 "Jesus Was One of Us."


 ITHACA, N. Y., April 30.-Rev. Dr. Aigernon s. Crapsey of Rochester, whose trial on charges of heresy and violation of ordination vows ended at Batavia Saturday, preached in Sage chapel of Cornell university. In his sermon Dr. Crapsey said:
 ''If we wait for some farof Savior, if we wait for curtain of blue to open and for some mighty being to come and achieve our salvation, we shall wait forever. The day will never come. It is not necessary It is a de- grading idea that perfection exists the like of which we cannot attain, albeit 1t be predicted on one hanging on a cross.
 Jesus, mighty man of old, call him what you please, divine, yet he was one of us and needs us almost as much as we need him. We help saints and prophets of old to achieve perfection by our kind words, our noble deeds and our tender thoughts. You cannot put on the righteousness of ChriJt like a garment over your own righteous ness. The cross is a small price to pay to attain perfection. even as our Father is perfect"

rious danger from the flames, and yet many
persons risked their lives on account of the
snow. In which they were compelled to
stand for about fifteen minutes before fire
men with ladders We're able to take them
all off the roof. The fire was in the base
ment. and the smoke drove them to the
roof. Six of the other fires were in build
ings occupied for business purposes
The most spectacular of these was a fire
on the top floor of a seYen-story building
at East 18th street. An old inn, known as
Hotel Arden. on 225th street. was also de-
stroyed. The ninth fire destroyed a private
