TOWN IN A DILEMMA
Hagerstown Having Difficulty
In SeIectinu a Health
Officer.
WOMAN MAY BE APPOINTED
palladium Specially

Hagerstown. Ind. Dec. 9.-Hagers-
town, a place of 200 people. is with
out a health officer. Not one Of the
four physicians will accept the office.
Dr.. Hurry, in answer to an inquiry by
the town council, made reply as fol-
lows:
THE law does not require that doc
tor be appointed to this office in
towns Your board may, at it's discre-
ton, appoint any one health officer
whom it may think competent and re-
liable. Not a few towns of the state
have appointed undertakers, and in all
instances they have proved good men.
Undertakers have studied sanitation,
they are acquainted with methods of
disinfection. they are business men
and keep accurate books. These are
qualities not always found in doctors.
We urge that the town board find
some young man who is an undertake.
and ambitious and desirous of serving
the people, and that he be appointed.
The law requires that someone be ap
pointed.
After receiving DR.. Hurty's reply. H
C. Endsley, the only undertaken OF the
town, was urged by the council to ac'
! cept, but refused. Since no male resi-
dent will become health officer. the
council is being urged by many citizen:
to appoint woman. and Hagerstowr
may have a woman health officer.

Seamen Arrive at Cleve-
land Today.
RESCUE PARTY SENT
TO HUNT FOR OTHERS
Freighter ''CIarion" Burned
To The Waters Edge, But
All the Crew, Except Mate
And a Seaman Escaped.
(American News Service)

Cleveland, O., Dec. 9.-After strug-
Cling for several hours to make pro-
gress in the teeth of a gale in a small
boat, six members of the crew of the
anchor line freighter Clarion were
picked up and brought to this port by
the steamer Hanna this forenoon with
details of the burning of the vessel
and the loss of the first mate and a
seaman. The Captain and twelve
members of the crew made off from
the doomed ship in a steel lifeboat
Today tugs were sent out to search
for them. but fears were expressed
that these thirteen men would be un-
able to save themselves in the high
sea and gale.
The Clarion was burned to the wat
ers edge off Point Pelee, Ontario, last
night. 1t was off the southeast shoal
that the big freighter which left De
troit at noon yesterday for Erie. Pa.

that it was soon seen that she could
not be saved. The flames were seen
by the steamer Bope which reported
by wireless to Detroit The steel tug
Hackett was sent from Amherstburs
to hunt for the burning vessel.
On the ship the twenty-one men and
officers could do little to check the
fire but they remained at their posts
till the last possible minute. Helpless
and wallowing in the heavy sea the
Clarion drifted, the high wind fannins
the flames till the captain was final
ly compelled to abandon hope and or
dered the men to the boats. The cap
tain was the last to leave. There wa,

Stranger Arrested on Suspi-
cion of Being Murderer An
swered Every Description
Of the Missing Man.
TATTOO MARKS SAVE
THE SUSPECTED MAN
Had Woman's Head and an
Anchor Been Found on His
Arms He Would Have Been
Sent to New York City.

What was perhaps the most remark
able case of mistaken identity that has
ever come to the notice of the local po.
lice. was that of a stranger who was
arrested last evening by Chief of Police
Staubach, on Main street, and who was
believed to be, beyond all shadow of
a doubt, for time John A. Norman.
Swede, who is wanted by the New
York city authorities, on charge of
murder. The absence of tattoo marks
on the mans wrists and forearms was
probably all that saved him from be-
ing sent to New York, TO answer the
murder charge.
In every particular but one the de-
scription of the fugitive murderer and
the stranger who was arrested here
last night. Tailed exactly. Even the
peculiarities in speech and common ex-
pressions of the two men were similar.
According to the description card fur
nished the police. the murderer is a
Swede, who speaks English remarkably
we'll, but with slightly broken accent.
He is "a years of age. five feet. eight
and one-half inches in height, and
weighs 10 pounds. He has light
| hair, and ears which protrude slightly.
Even the dress Of the suspect and mur.
| deref was similar.
Used Same Expression.
But what convinced the police more
than any other thing, that they had
captured the much wanted murderer
was the fact that when the stranger
was arrested and accused of being the
murderer, he said, You're a fool" The
description card of Norman stated
that this was pet phrase of the fu
gitive, and one Of his most common
expressions. The police were almost
taken off their feet when the man ut
tered the words. Staubach was jus,
about to telegraph the New York po
lice, notifying them that Norman haG
been captured in this city and to remit
the reward, when the mans wrists ant
forearms were examined for tattoo
marks. The closest scrutiny failed K
reveal any, and inasmuch as Norman
was purported to have a picture of ;
woman's head on his left forearm. ant
an anchor tattooed on his right wrist
there was no cause to detain the stran
ger, and he was released. The polic'
: regard the case as a most peculiar coin
cidence, and doubtless without a par
! allel. The stranger. like Norman, i
