of homicide and four persons are
dead as the result of his exploit
On the public pier at the foot OF
West Fifty-sixth street and the
North river is the damaged high
power French motoring car which
Bauer. driving like the wind over
slippery streets and in the face OF
cutting rain, sent over the piers

Bauer let the car out to a racing
gait The street were running with
water and the heavy machine slid
from side to side as the velocity In
creased. At twelfth avenue they were
going like mad and heading straight
for the pier, half block away.
Like a Vanderbilt contestant near
ing the finish line. the heavy Rem
ault was sent straight to the end of
the pier, where 1t struck string
piece snapped it like a match stick.
and then, overturning. went crashing
into the dark waters of the North
river. Bauer was catapulated 90
feet ahead of the car and Nolan
leaped as the car struck.
Bauer made statement to the po-
lice in which he said he had ap-
piled the brakes when the machine
was half way down the pier. and that
the machine had skidded In the
mud on the pier the wheels of the
machine made a straight track from
one end to the other.

Thursday for Myrtle Beach where it
is stated, by the woman in Aiken
that the marriage took place the
first time.
The woman stated, so it is alleg-
ed, that she was married to Stalvey
at this place. and that he ceremony
was performed on he pizza of a
fishermans lodge. The name OF the
fisherman, IL is stated, she was un
able to remember, and that he was
the only witness to the ceremony.
Mr. Dukes has gone to Myrtle
Beach to investigate the matter there
and will return as soon as he has
satisfied his mind. that the accusa-
ton is false. or that the facts are to
be obtained at this point.
In the meantime. Stalvey will re-
main in this city. where he can be
taken into custody. should the proof
be strong enough against him to
warrant his being locked up.

ton of future success on a sound basis.
Wireless communication with the United
States was row easy, and he hoped soon
TO reduce the cost to so per cent Of the
existing submarine rates. Mr.. Marconi
addressed the meeting and his remarks
were received with enthusiasm. He said II
would be possible soon to increase the
speed OF transmission to thirty words a
minute and that he would be able also to
effect duplex workings between wireless
stations. In conclusion Mr.. Marconi said:

The real thing in warm clothes has ar
rived. II is a self-heating bath robe. The
possessor of this novel garment, accord
ing to Popular Mechanics. simply puts 1t
on and attaches himself to the nearest
electric fixture by means OF a wire. He is
then independent OF all other sources OF
artificial heat-fumaces, steam radiators,
etc. The bath robe stove has a network OF
fine wires embedded in the cloth, which
becomes hot when the currents turned
on, The degree OF heat can be regulated
by means Of a switch in one of the pockets.
The device Is simplicity itself and obviously
applicable to other garments as well as
bath robes. II this method Of heating were
generally adopted the annual saving OF
