SEEKING THE
MURDERER Of
GIRL AND Man

Dayton, O., Aug. ga score OF police
officials, deputy sheriffs and detectives
were today seeking desperately for the
man who murdered Anna Markowitz on
Sunday evening after having shot and
fatally wounded her escort, Abe Cohan.
Clues so far have proven without result
The two brothers OF the girl. who ad-
mitted disliking Cohan and following the
couple for time Sunday evening. were
taken TO the hospital before Cohan died
but the wounded man could not Identity
them. They stoutly maintained their in
nocence OF the crime. and the officials
generally accept their story.
colored woman who lives near the
scene OF the murder is quoted as declar-
ing that she heard screams In the woods
at about the time the crime was commit
ted, Harry. oh, Harry"
Harry Markowitz still maintains that his
sister Bertha can clear up the mystery, II
she desires. The girl. however. continues
reticent 10 the point of sullenness. Both
she and her brothers are still in Jail on
suspicion.
Cohan died today at the hospital. Ow-
ing 10 his delirious condition, the infor-
nation he gave concerning the tragedy is
considered by the authorities to be OF little
value.

BATH, MAINE,
IS ABSOLUTELY
4 DAY TOWN

Bath. Me, Aug. 6.--With no drink
ing water except what is taken in pals
from the Kenebec river or brought
to the city from springs and not an
ounce OF pressure for fire purposes. the
citizens OF Bath find themselves today
in an unenyiable and most unusual po-
sition. especially with the hundreds OF
visitors I'm the city attending the ter
centennial celebration OF the launch
ing OF the first ship in this country.
This condition was brought about by
the bursting of three water mains.
through which the city's entire supply
was pumped and the draining of the
standpipe. The supply is furnished by
two pumping stations, the principal
one OF which is at Mequasett lake. The
main across the Kenebec river from
this lake was broken 10 days ago and
before II was repaired the second pipe
connecting this station with the city
broke. After that water was supplied
from the auxiliary station at Thomp-
sons brook. The main from this sta
tion broke beneath the New Meadows
river Sunday night and as n last re-
sort water was drawn from the stand
pipe yesterday This morning IL was
discovered that the standpipe had be-
come dry and the entire supply of
drinking water was exhausted
There are scattered about the city
dozen or 10 very small underground
reservoirs, from which water can be
pumped in case of fire. and the Ken
nebec river is available in a part of
the city, but the situation is con-
sidered a precarious one and the chief
engineer is taking every precaution
TO be prepared for fire.
