CLAIM WIFE SHOT HIM

Cleveland, o.. Sept Though the
warrant charging Mrs. John J. Phil
lips with the murder of her husband is
still not served, the woman is under
guard at her home, and If she is strong
enough tomorrow morning will be ar
raigned and her bail fixed.
Detectives tonight found some blood
stained rags and papers in the furnace
of the Phillips home. There evidently
had been a hurried attempt to burn
them, but they were not entirely de-
stroyed.
Despite the story or the little 10
year-old adopted daughter OF the house
to the effect that the dying man talked
OF having been shot by a burglar, the
police are more than ever convinced
that the man was slain by his wife.
Assistant Prosecutor Mooney takes
no stock in story that a former en-
ploye of Phillips is under suspicion.
He said tonight that while. in his
opinion, Mrs. Phillips killed her hus-
band. the crime was not premeditated.
but was committed during a quarrel.
Mrs. Phillips has a violent temper"
said Mr.. Mooney, and I am certain
that the two had some hot words and
the shooting took place then. In or
der to throw suspicion from his wife
Phillips said a burglar did 1t. There il
no evidence Of burglars. The wound
was 50 inflicted that the man could
not have killed himself. None else but
Mrs. Phillips and the little girl were
in the house. The little girl does not
count. and there you have IT."

believe some outsider committed the
murder. A woman's handkerchief

South Chicago, Sept. IA new exam
ination for smoke inspectors and the
setting aside of the present eligible
list is likely to be one Of the first re-
quests upon the civil service commits
sion made by Paul Bird. the new city
smoke inspector. Mr.. Bird, who Is a
South Chicago man, assumed the duties
of his office today and in a conference
with John c. Schubert, his predecessor,
who offered him aid IN familiarizing
himself with the routine of his work, he
was advised TO ask the commission to
set aside the present eligible list
Mr.. Bird did not say definitely wheth-
er or not he would carry out the sug-
gestion, but intimated that he would.
The examination which the old civil
service commission held for smoke in
spector was ridiculous one" Mr.. Schu-
bert told his successor" / had prepared
certain questions which 1 presented to
the commission. but none of them were
asked The result is that many of the
men the eligible list are absolutely
unfit for their work"
Mr.. Schubert told of several instances
in which men certified from the pre-
sent eligible list had failed to make q

ence with Mr.. Schubert Mr.. Bird said:

shall do the best 1 can. but that is about
the only pledge 1 can make at
present"
Mr.. Schubert turned over forty cases
for the new inspector to look after for
violating the smoke ordinance, which
Mayor Busse had requested be held VI
until a change of officials was made.

South Chicago. Sept. Love and the
police mingled yesterday in the shat
tered romance of a South Chicago girl.
Pretty Stifania Grotunck, known as the
dark-eyed beauty OF the steel mill dis
trict, is IS years old and lives at $500
Illinois avenue. All the trouble hap
pened just because Miss Grotunck de-
cided that she did not want to marry
Felix Obrienski. who lives at 1851
Bond avenue. just at the moment the
ceremony was to begin.
The lover did not threaten her with
death. didn't go away to pine and die,
or seek watery grave in the soothing
waves of the lake. and didn't disappear
for parts unknown. Instead he has
tened TO the South Chicago police sta
ton and secured a warrant for dis
orderly conduct for his near bride
Miss Grotunck was arrested and APP
peared before Judge Girten to explain
that she didn't care to marry Obrien-
ski because she had seen some one else
she believes she likes better.
I don't like him any more. like
some one else better. she told the
Judge. blushingly. We'll, that isn't
disorderly conduct" declared the Judge.
