FIRE COMMISSIONER HASN'T

Logan Says Misapprehension

Fire Commissioner Charles Logan

appointment of another battalion chief
and several additional captains in the
ranks of the fire fighters. He was quot
ed in the report of the meeting of the
Fire Board yesterday afternoon as op-
posed to Commissioner T. Edward
Burke's plan to improve conditions.
Il have not investigated this matter
sufficiently to decide upon it," said Mr.
Logan today.
A letter in which Mr.. Burke made his
suggestions, was presented to President
Edward Gnichtel and laid over for a
week In it he says that changes in
battalion district lines should be made
without delay, "as the territory as
signed to individual battalion chiefs is

GIRL KILLED IN
PARK WAS BARBARA
REG, OF BROOKLYN
Policemen Suspected of Know
ing Truth About Mystery
of Her Death.
KEYS TO SUMMER HOUSE
in HANDS OF BLUECOATS
Apathy of Captain Causes SUI
periOr to Put Three PATROL
men on Grill.

NEW YORK, July 23.-Barbara Reig,
2s years old, of 800 Maujer street,
Brooklyn. was the young woman slain
yesterday and whose body was found
in q summer house at Irving Square
Park, Williamsburg. The Identification
was made by her mother, Mrs. Eva
Reig.
Detectives are uncertain as to who
handled the revolver from which the
bullet that killed the girl was fired.
1t was reported that clues had been
discovered which indicated that a po-
liceman was involved in the death of
the handsomely dressed young woman.
Captain Carey, in charge of the
Brooklyn detective bureau, went to the
Hamburg avenue station last night to
put a number of policemen through the
third degree. Heff1rst called Rudolph
Koehler, the policeman who was on the
beat in which the tragedy occurred,
and who found the girls body.
David Shellard, the policeman who
was called after Koehler found the
body, was summoned before Carey.
SnelldTQ was H1due TO tell his StOTy, anu
then repeat 1t, and then Policeman
George Nick was called and questioned.
Captain Wormsell himself did not ap-
pear on the scene until six hours
after the body was discovered, and then
he gave orders that no one was to be
allowed to see the body.
The fact that the bullet hole in the
girls head had caused instant death
and that there was no revolver in the
summer house was of little matter to
Wormsell and his patrolmen.
These facts and possibly others were
related to Captain Carey before he
took hold of the case. What especially
interested Carey was how the murderer
could have unlocked the doors to the
summer house when only policemen and
the park attendants have such keys.

Railroad Company at this place, father
of the young man who was reported
from Collins as having attempted sui
eide. states that it is mistake. The
young man had been suffering from an
injury to his knee, caused by strik-
ing it with the sharp edge of Ratchet
some three years ago, and which has
troubled him ever since. One year ago
last January he submitted to an oper-
alton, which did not permanently re-
lieve the trouble, and recently he went
out in the country and went to work
on farm temporarily, which caused
his leg to pain him at times very Sc
verely, and to ease this pain he took
some laudanum, and got more of the
drug than he should have taken. The
note found on the table had nothing
to do with any love affair. Mr.. Cox
has just returned from visit to his
son.

tors of the Smith County Bank, of this

season. In fact, it is not expected
that many more games will be played

Three of their best players are away

Hightower and Eaton, who are playing
with the Leland team. Some additions
have been made to the team that will
strengthen them. The boys did not
play their best article of ball yes
terday. Even the finest league teams
have their off days.
1t is hoped that the boys will be
literally patronized in the games next
week so that they will be encouraged
to bring other ball teams here. A
baseball game to go to in the after.

EXPERT TESTIMONY SHOWS
IMAGINARY PAIN And CURE

A novel point was made yesterday
in the trial of the case of Boykin vs.
the Gulf and Ship Island Railroad, in
which some expert medical testimony
was introduced.
Mr.. Boykin, in the trial of the suit
claimed that he was severely injured
about a year and. a half ago at Ma
gee by train of cars being backed
violently against a caboose that was
on a siding and by the impact of
which he received severe injuries. Mr..
Boykin claimed that he suffered great
pain in the small of his back immedi-
ately after the jolt and ever since.
Two local medical experts were in
troduced who testified that In many
cases where railroad suits were
brought that the pain was simply i'm
agination, and always disappeared as
soon as the suit was settled in their
favor. In other words, the decision of
the suit acted as an antidote to i'm
aginary pain. The physicians stated

this as a general rule and they
thought the plaintiff in this case might
be an exception as he was suffering
from Bright's disease, which would
produce real pain.
The authority that was quoted to
sustain this theory of imaginary pain
and the remedy therefor, was the fam
GUS DIR. Osler, whose greatest notorie-
ty was acquired by making the sugges-
ton that the government ought to pro-
vide for easy and painless death for
old and infirm people; such as those
to whom life had become burden by
reason of their helpless condition, and
also that babies born in the world with
an infirmity should be legally put to
death.
DR.. Osler as an authority, and his
cure for pain, may cut considerable
figure in court in the future. provided
laymen will accept the teachings of the
man as an authority But he advances
ideas that are contrary to the teach
ing of both humane and divine laws.

delegates are opposed by candidates
who desire TO go to Chicago without
instructions. The campaign has beer
