MURDER MYSTERY
 STILL PUZZLING

Detroit, Mich. August 9-After 24 hours of diligent work the authorities are no nearer solution of the mys- tery surrounding the murder of Mrs. Martha Galahn, whose body was found in a clump of bushes In Hamtrack yes- terday, than they were the hour of the discovery of the body. Suspicion today pointed to grlhood sweetheart of Mrs. Galahn. This man, the officers at once set out to find, but they have been un- successful in their search. The suspect, who the police say has criminal record. is married and today his wife, while admitting that she had accused him of improper relations with Mrs. Galahn, de- clared that 1t was she who apprised her husband that he was wanted by the po- lice and advised him to keep away. She stoutly maintains that her husband had no connection with the murder of Mrs. Galahn, and bases her opinion on state ments made to her, she says, by her hus- band.
 The attention of the police was direct ed to the missing man by Fred Galahn, husband of the murdered woman, who suggested that he be apprehended.
 The childhood sweetheart of Mrs. Ga- lahn for whom the police were search ing appeared voluntarily after midnight and surrendered himself at the jail.

HOT WEATHER IN
 NORTH AND EAST

Louisville, Ky, August 9-A line drawn from the great lakes to the gulf today would have marked fairly sharp division between some millions of people whose greeting was fine day. and num- erous other millions who tempted fate by asking lis it hot enough for you?'
 East of the line all the way from the big river to the Atlantic and from St. Lawrence river to Florida, people experi- enced the acme of discomfort, while west of the Mississippi conditions were barely seasonable
 Philadelphia, with 9S degrees in the shade. probably endured the highest tenn perature and the highest degree of hu- midity combined, the six deaths in that city indicating better than any thermom- eter reading the hottest day In the United States.
 New York came next with 9S degrees and five deaths, with Louisville tied for sec ond place on an equal temperature but no deaths and no prostrations
 Helena, Mont, was the coolest spot.
 AS a general proposition the points west of the Mississippi, both north and south. may be said to have revelled in temper atures averaging 10 degrees lower than cities in the same latitude east of the big river.

ROOSEVELT JUNIOR
 TRIES BALLOONS

New York, August 9.--Theodore Roose- welt, Jr., temporarily abandoning the carpet manufacturing business in Con- necticut, came to New York today to arrange for learning more about aero nautics. He lunched with A Holland Forbes, acting president of the Aero nautic club of America, and will file an application for membership this week.
 Since making two trips in signal corps balloons last year. young Roosevelt has determined to go in for the sport and may purchase craft. At any rate he will ap- ply for a pilots license, to qualify for which requires ten trips In a balloon, one to be made alone and one at night If he is successful he may participate in the national races to be held in the west this fall.
 He arranged today to make an ascension from near Pittsfield Mass. with MT. Forbes, within the next two weeks. Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth, according to reports. has been contemplating trip with MT. Forbes in the near future from Lenox, Miss.

SWEDISH STRIKE
 WEAKENS A LITTLE

Stockholm, August 9.-The streets of Stockholm today presented a livelier as pect than on any day since the general strike began. Many carts and street cars were plying their trade through the streets despite the threats of the strikers that they would stop all traffic. King Gustav drove through the city today, passing before the strikers headquarters. He was without an escort.
 The gas and electric plants are working without Interruption and tonight it seems doubtful whether the employees of the railroads will join the movement. Ru- mors are again in circulation concerning a probable collapse of the strike, the workmen being dissatisfied with the speeches and the methods employed by their leaders in carrying it on. In many instances the strike fund is not strong enough to support the movement longer than fortnight without causing great distress.
 The compositors struck tonight, but the strike of the printers will not become unions are refusing to break their con tracts with employers
 At a result of the refusal of the newa vendors to distribute the editions of jour nals not having socialistic tendencies, the only newspapers which will appear in this city tomorrow will be the organ of the trades unions, the Answer.
 Twenty strikers were arrested today at Westerns, 60 miles from here, for attempt ing to compel agricultural laborers to leave their work.

Ps9 IS BUT SLIGHTLY
 7 dENDED FROM ORIGINAL
 REPORTED ID THE HOUSE
Pratt City Coke Ovens, Thomas and North Birmingham Furnaces and Dimmlek Pipe Works
 Left Out of the
 Greater City.
BY c. M. STANLEY.

Montgomery, August s.-(Special.) 1.-The King Greater Birmingham bill went through the House of Representatives like a streak of greased lightning shortly after 6 o'clock this afternoon. The final vote was 65 to 1. Dr. E. I. Tarrant of Birmingham cast the only opposing vote.
 The overwhelming vote in the house is taken as an index of the popularity of the greater metropolis through the length and breadth of the state. Jere c. King, the author of the bill, who has devoted so many months. late this afternon thought the time was ripe to call it up, asking for unanimous consent. Dr. Tarrant ob- Jected. MT. Haley of Jefferson imme- diately moved a suspension of the rules in order to take 1t up. and this carried with but the one dissenting vote. The bill as reported from committee was al- tered slightly from the original in order to leave out the coke ovens in Pratt City, Thomas furnaces. North Birmingham furnaces and the Dinlmick pipe works. Ensley. of course, Is not included all though the measure embraces all the ter ritory from and including Fairview to East Lake.
 Dr. Tarrant offered an amendment pro- viding for an election to be held in the territory included In the bill which Is not now part of Birmingham proper. The amendment was voted down over whelfnipey and til9 final roll call on the passage of the bill resulted 65 to l in it's favor. Dr. Tarrant had his protest against its passaged spread upon the minutes.
 Jere King was naturally elated when the vote was announced. He has main tained all along that the bill would have easy sailing in the house, and he now be- lieves the overwhelming vote in it's favor will be fine recommendation for it to the senate.
 Senator Miller is still opposed to taking in territory without It's consent and stands by the pledges he says he made when he was a candidate before the peo- pie. The friends of the bill believe, how ever, that 1t will not be delayed in the senate.
 There has been some talk to the effect that Governor Conner might not be willing to sign 1t unless all parts of the district were treated alike, that Is If North Bir- mingham is made to come in Ensley should also be included. When asked his views tonight Governor Conner said he was not yet prepared to say what would be his attitude toward the bill

that would be a more impregnable organ ization than any council ever had or could be. With every class of voter al- lowable in the elections there is a dan ger that the people would soon be in the hands of the least responsible of the voters.
 John Craft. president of the Commercial club of Mobile. said the people of Mo bile get more for their money in Nfo- bile than any cty with a commission He cited figures to show that taxes are higher in GalEeston, that public utili- ties are less effective and that every line of service is more satisfactory in Mobile. Galveston has now, he says, poorer government than under the old plan, that the tax rate is $1.80 against 50 cents in Mobile and that police and fire depart ments in Mobile cost less in Mobile and give better returns than In Galveston.
 s. J. Bowie thinks it a dangerous form of government and wholly unnecessary in Alabama. Three men can not long es- cape the machinery of politics, nor the baneful effects of machine tactics. Banks. about which much had been said. ruled by board of directors is necessary with a city's control. He was against the referendum feature. as sword held over the nedu DI the SeTVdntp kttpluS ililii III constant fear of his place and rendering him unfit for Eood work.
 MT. Gregg reminded MT Bowie that only 25 per cent of the voters could or der recall, and that there were that many negroes and republicans in Bir- mingham Alderman A. J. Parrish of Montgomery argued so strenuously for the bill that he was interrupted by many in the house. He showed remarkable in- formation on the subject.
 MT. Urquhart said that many times the numbers of citizens could be brought down from Birmingham in favor of the bill, as the friends of the bill had had no time to bring in speakers
 Mr. Pitts was not willing to pass on the bill and wanted to wait. The commit tee then voted to to adverse the meas ure.
 MT. Urquhart said he was not worried. You wait until tomorrow" he said. He did not make known what he would do tomorrow.

GREATER BIRMINGHAM BILL
 PASSES THE HOUSE S TO 1

Beverly, Mass. August 9.-President Taft sat on the broad veranda of his summer cottage this afternoon overlook ing Salem Bay and the open waters of the ocean lying beyond the rocks of Mar behead. The little dancing waves broke and sparkled in the brilliant sunlight and off the Marblehead shore scores of small yachts had spread their sails to the breeze. It is Marblehead race week and besides daily regattas the bay Is dotted with sonder class yachts in preparation for the race for the German Emperors cup.
 It was an inviting day on the water and MT Taft was asked if he were interested in yachting. The question brought reminiscent smile as he declared he once was an enthusiast but lost interest after bitter experience many years ago.
 The President related that he was spend ing a summer along the shore, and one day at Shelter Island was shipped as member of yachts crew. He was given the duty of hauling In and letting out the main sail.
 The sheet. you mean, MT. President, suggested one of the more nautical of the interviewers. Mr Taft replied that he supposed that was it.
 Anyway, after hauling her in and let ting her out several times," the President said the sheet line got tangled while the yacht was turning around or coming about, the sail got to Tapping, the rope cut his hand and finally slipped through the block, the boom swung violently around, the rigging gave way, and the future President of the United States was put ashore as a hopeless landlubber"
