TAf1VILLE
Possible Clue to Postoffice Burglars
Baltic Wins at FootbaIl-other Men,

What he thinks may be a possible
clue to the burglars who broke open
the postoffice safe last Monday was
found by Constable John Reeves. when
he read Putnam's news in Friday
mornings Bulletin. The item stated
that Captain Murray of the Putnam
police had a communication from a
Providence woman asking for informa-
ton about John Grennon, supposed to
have been shot ip Putnam or some
nearby town recently. Captain Murray
had no information.
Constable Reeves thinks when the
fact that one OF the burglars he shot
at last Monday morning was heard to
moan by at least three different people
in Taftville is coupled with this in
quiry from Providence that there may
be a possible connection. As he is not
disposed to let slip the slightest clue
to the safe breakers, it is probable
that an attempt will be made to find
out the Providence woman and learn
the facts.

SAN JOSE, May 1o.-The three
weeks escapade of a Los Angeles
youth, the son of a wealthy mar
there, and a beautiful young woman
supposed to be the wife of another Los
Angeles man, is engrossing the atten-
ton of gossip here, and not the least
tantalizing thing about the affair is the
secrecy that enshrouds the Identity OF
this couple. The couple came here
about three weeks ago and lived to-
gether as man and wife in an apart
ment in Santa Clara. The woman was
strikingly handsome and the youth evil
IDENTIFY several years her junior. ThelI
funds ran low and the young man got
a job driving a cement wagon.
Father Is Oil Magnate
Finally this was not enough to sup
port them, and the boy wrote for money
TO his father in Los Angeles, who is
supposed to be wealthy oil magnate:
This was the first news the father had
had of his son for several weeks and
he Immediately came north in person.
He sought out the woman and pleaded
with her TO not hinder his sons success
in life. His entreaties were successful
and in tears the woman left the nat
where the two had been living together.
In Santa Clara the pair went by the
name of Hartman.
In the afternoon the father and two
detectives who had taken the son into
custody went to the train with him and
departed for Los Angeles, a section IN

PLASTERER SHOT,
FATALLY INJURED
VICTIM INFATUATED WITH MO-
TORMAN'S WIFE
HUSBAND ORDERS HIM TO KEEP
AWAY FROM HOUSE
Goes to House Where Couple Is Visit
ing, and in Alteration Is
Wounded by Revolver
Shot

Theodore Wits. a .plasterer, was shot
and perhaps fatally wounded and Mrs.
H. K. Smith slightly wounded in an
alteration which occurred shortly be-
fore 9 o'clock last night at the Smith
home, 1884 East Fifty-fourth street.
Wits had been boarding at the house
of w. 7. Hampton, a motorman en-
ployed by the Los Angeles railway,
living at 1914 East Fifty-first street.
He became infatuated with Mrs.
Hampton, who is said to be a very
pretty woman, and so marked did his
attention become to her that 1t occa-
stoned gossip in the neighoorhood, and
Sunday Hampton and Wits had
quarrel and the former ordered his
boarder to leave the place.
Wits removed to Los Angeles
street lodging and last night returned
to the Hampton home, and finding that
Hampton and his wife had gone to the
Smith home, followed them there.
He entered the house and renewed
his quarrel with Hampton in the pres
ence of Smith and the two women.
Smith finally ordered Wits from the
house, and as the latter left he was fol-
lowed to the door by Hampton and
Mrs. Smith.
AS ne stepped from the porch to the
walk leading to the front gate Wits
is alleged to have drawn a revolver,
and, saying to Hampton, 'Well, I'll
meet your wife whenever l please"
raised his weapon and fired two shots
directly at Hampton. Both bullets
flew wide of the mark. The first struck
Mrs. Smith, inficting a slight flesh
wound in her right forearm and the
second passed through the door into
front room and buried itself in a
dresser.
Hampton returned the fire of Wits,
shooting twice at the man as he stood
less than ten feet away and facing
him. One of the bullets struck Wits
in the center of the breast between the
collar bones and ranged downward into
his chest. The second missed him.
Wits turned and ran from the place
and it was not known then that he
had been shot. When he left the house
he went to his room and secured a
box of cartridges and returned to the
Smith home, where he was captured
by Patrolman Russell, who was guard
ing the house. The wounded man was
taken to the receiving hospital where
he stated that Hampton fired at him
first. Hampton was arrested and de-
tanned at central station on suspicion
until the affair can be investigated.

MAN OF MYSTERY DIES IN
NEW YORK IN SECLUSl0N

NEW YORK, May 1O.-Gilbert F..
Ackerman, aged So, who for more than
forty years had lived in strict seclu-
sion in his home on Riverside drive,
on the fortune he had made in the
flour business. died yesterday, refusing
to have a doctor. All his life he ridi-
culed medicine and doctors and would
not permit either in his home.
His eldest son became physician
and therefore had not been in the house
for many years until after his fathers
death yesterday.
Mr.. Ackerman built high fences about
his property so that neighbors could
not look in upon him, he said, but in
recent years tall apartment houses
were erected on either side and back
of his hmoe. and since then he had
rarely left the house.

GUAM CHRISTIANS FEAR
GERMANIZING INFLUENCE

GUAM, May 10.-A split is threatened
in the Catholic church of Guam The
native Christians, fearing the German
izing influence, have cabled the Vatican
that the monks of the German Capu-
chin order are not competent spiritual
advisers because of the fact that they
are ignorant of the English, Spanish
and Chamorro languages.
A schism such as occurred in the
Philippines is feared. The people ap-
pear to be absolutely irreconcilable to
the German priests and have addressed
a strong remonstrance to the German
superior for having forced the resigna-
tion of Father Palomo, the only native
priest in Guam.
Repeated requests for American
priests have been ignored and grave
fears are entertained that hostile
demonstration will be made by tR,
natives, who are demanding the g.
portation of the friars.
