OFFICER IN JAIL
Wyatt Ingram, Jr., of New Orleans
Under Charges.
Official of Hibernia Bank, Accused OF
Being Defaulter and Forger, Taken
to Prison in Ambulance.

Wyatt II. Ingram, Jr., trust OF
ficer OF the Hibernia Bank and Trust
Company OF New Orleans was ar
rested at his home, 1910 State street,

and 100000 short in his accounts.

cations have extended over Il period
OF Is months.

the arresting officers reached MS
home to accompany them to the po-
lice station, but District Attorney
Adams, upon being communicated
with insisted that the accused be
brought TO prison without delay. he
was carried to police headquarters IN
an ambulance.
1t was reported that Ingram had
made an attempt at self-destructlon
late Wednesday,, but this is without
confirmation. 1t is believed rather
that the strain under which he mad
labored and the recent excessive
heat resulted in his partial collapse.
The trust officer is said to have
confessed to Vice President Pool OF
the Hibernia bank that his defalca-
ton would approximate 100000. 1t
is stated that a check for $4,000, on
which Ingram forged the signature
of a prominent business man OF New
Orleans, led to the disclosure OF the
embezzlements and forgeries no"
charged against him.
Ingram for a number Of years has
stood high in business and social cir
cles of New Orleans. He is a proml-
nent club man and has been a lead
ing member of commercial organiza-
tions. He married six month ago.
He is a native of Henderson county,
Kentucky, and is "a years old. He
has been a resident of New Orleans
about 6 years. His family connec-
tions in Kentucky, Maryland and oth-
pr Southern States are prominent.

MURDER And SUICIDE
DOUBLE TRAGEDY ENACTED AT
SUMMER RESORT.
Man Kills and Robs Another-When
Capture is Near ut Hand Takes
Poison.

A dispatch from Port Huron, Mich.
says Louis Rosenberg, a cigar-makel
of Cleveland, Ohio, was murdered
early Thursday morning on a lonely
island in the st. Clair fats, just
above the Joe Bedore summer re,
sort.
A few hours later Frank Elbera
also of Cleveland, charged with the
murder, was also found dead from a
dose of poison, self-administered
when he found arrest was imminent
A third Cleveland man, Sam Frisbie,
is held at the county Jail as an ac-
complice to the murder, and has
made a confession TO Prosecutor
Stewart of the details OF the cold
blooded killing.
The three men met at Bedore
Hotel, where they had gone Tor a
vacation. Wednesday night at a
dance Rosenberg showed large sum
of money. Thursday morning his
body was found lying face downward
in the rushes on the shore of a lone
" islet about five hundred feet from
the dance hall, a deep cash in the
back of his head. When officers ar
rived they found the dead man had
been stripped of every cent.
AS the officers returned to the ho-
tel with the body, they heard man
inside scream: i've taken dope,
help
The man, who proved to be Frank
Elbera, died in few minutes. IN
his room was found revolver and
some bloody clothes, with nearly
5000 in money. The officers re-
garding robbery as the motive, TOOK
into custody Elbera's roommate, Sam
Frisbie, also of Cleveland.
Frisbie, who was hurried to the
iail and examined by Prosecutor
Stewart, told sickenirg story OF
the cold-blooded fashion in whicn
Elbera knocked Rosenberg in the
head with the butt of his revolver
and then held the cigar-maker under
water until ne was drowned. Frisble
said that race hatred as well as greed
seemed to enter into Elbera's attack
on Rosenberg.
"I'u get that Jew yet" he says
Elbera frequently remarked during
the several days the men had been
together.
During tie dance Wednesday nlght
Frisbie declares that Elbera coaSea
Rosenberg out of the hall and over
TO the island on the plea that ne
would meet some girls there.
Frisbie says he accompanied them
At the head of the island, Elbera
suddenly attacked Rosenberg. Inc
cigar maker screamed for help ana
ran toward the river. Elbera, ac-
cording to Firsbie, chased him out
into the water, struck him with the
revolver and then forced his heao
under the surface whore he held nm
until Rosenberg was drowned.
Frisbe says that his only part IN
the murder was to assist Elbera III

water into the rushes where 1t was

BUILDING FALLS
Disaster in Busiest Section of
Philadelphia
SEVEN ARE KILLED
Thirty-two People Buried Beneath
the Ruins of Five-Story Building,
Which Was Being Reconstructed.
Accident Occurs about One O'Clock
and Terrifies PaSserSby.

In one of the busiest sections of
the city of Philadelphia, and at a
time when thousands of pedestrians
were passing to and fro, the FIVE
story brick building at the north
east corner of Eleventh and Market
streets, which was being recon-
structed for the United Gas Improve
ment Company, collapsed with ter
rife roar shortly after l o'clock
Thursday, afternoon. burying or
pinning beneath the ruins 80 per-
sons, Z of whom are dead, l miss
ing, fatally injured and "a more
or less seriously injured. The dead
are:
Charles Larsen, As years old, sub
stitute foreman of carpenters.
Peter Fritz, Sc years old, carpen-
ter.
Paul Hanning, 49 years old, labor
er.
Sigmund Tansberg. 90 years old,
laborer.
Alvin =, so years old, Swede.
Unknown man terribly mangled.
Fatally injured:
James Haggerty. 80 years old, frac-
tured skull.
The two lower floors had been
torn out and the three upper floors
we're shored up by heavy timber.
Steel grders were bracing the shor-
ing. 1t is supposed that by moving
one of the girders, the entire struc-
ture was loosened.
The crash came without warning,
and the narrow escapes were many.
The roar of the collapse was heard
for blocks. By-standers and passers-
by fed in desperation, as it was
thought an explosion had occurred,
When they realized what had hap
pened, people flocked to the ruins and
began a series of thrilling rescues.
Before professional aid could be
mustered, automobiles, teamsters'
wagons and all sorts of nearby ve-
hicles were filled with the dead or
injured and hurried to hospitals. 1t
was a swaltering day and several or
the rescuers were overcome by the
heat and dust from .he deblis A
most as strenuous as digging up the
injured was the task Of keeping the
congested masses of people from sur
rounding too closely the wreckage.
The walls which were left standing
looked unsafe, but the people surg ID
forward needless of the danger.
For a time service on the subway
line. which runs along Market street
in front of the building was tied up.
A woman subway ticket seller, ter
rified by the crash of the collapse and
the shower of bricks and stones that
dropped down the subway stair,
tainted in her ooliice.
Many instances of heroism were
witnessed One man whose leg was
broken was pinned beneath some
timbers. When firemen came within
hailing distance he asked that they
attend the more seriously injured.
The entire fourth floor OF the
building lay slant against the side
of the adjoining building cutting on
air in a section twenty feet square
where it is believed the missing man
is buried Workmen continued dig
ging in the ruins.

BABY WANTS WATER
THREE TIMES DAILY

A baby. like an adult. needs water
as regularly as it needs food.
The milk that it gets, though a liquid,
does not satisfy its thirst.
1t should be given water at least
three times a day and this water
should be nearly, il not quite, free from
organisms.
The best way is to allow the water
to boil 20 minutes.
After that let il cool and store ii in
clean, well-corlSed bottles which have
been previously immersed in boiling
water for five minutes.
1t is best drunk out of a thoroughly
clean nursing bottle.
Offer water TO the infant every four
hours and let it drink as much as it
wants.
Under no circumstances should this
water be kept more tain a day.
