Mayor Busse's Brother Responsible
for Accidental Shooting

Chicago. Feb. 1.-George Busse,

Chicago. last night accidentally shot
and killed Mrs. Lucius C. Tuckerman
80 years old. wife of a fruit dealer at
The shooting occurred in the Wal

Clark street. Mrs. Tuckerrnan was
visiting her father. General A c.

apartment in the building George

volver was discharged and the bullet
went through two windows, into the
Girard apartment, and pierced Mrs.
Tuckerman's heart.
Mayor Busse was present, and as
soon as he learned of the fatal con-
sequences, notified the police
According to the statement made to
the police, George Busse was about to
leave for Cincinnati on a business
trip. He did not care to leave his
mother and the maid home alone
He therefore purchased a revolver
and was instructing the maid how to
use it, when the trigger was pulled
accidentally. Mrs. Tuckerman was in
the bullet, she staggered into a hall
way General Girard and Mrs.
Tuckerman's five-year-oId son, Alfred,
rushed from an adjoining room
"Oh, father, I've been shot and I'm
dying" said Mrs. Tuckerman, and
expired.
A moment later there was a pound
ing at the door of the Girard apart
ment and Mayor Busse and his
brother. George. came in.
Mayor Buses wife and mother
followed. The mayor summoned a
physician and notified the police by
telephone, but the woman died be

rests were made, General Girard ex-
pressing himself as satisfied that the
shooting was purely accidental.

PUTS DOWN FOOT.
Probate Judge SchOch Lays
Down Law to Druggists.
If Liquor Sales Are Over 800
Must Tell Why.
MANY ARE CROOKED.
Says Half the Sales Are Not
Legitimate.
Permits Will Be Revoked Unless
There Is Reform.

The probate judges office resembled
the refreshments room at druggists
convention today when the numerous
druggists of the city We're rendering
their monthly statement of liquor sales.
From some source the idea went out
that there would be d strenuous ses-
sion in this department today when
the druggists applied for new books
and their statement of sales.
The idea was not altogether wrong
for Probate Judge Schoch- had a num-
Der of heart to heart talks with drug
gists who seemed overly prosperous
when the sales of liquors were filed.
To some of them his talk was to the
point and he examined closely into
every sale made where the druggist
reported in excess of 500 sales during
the month of January.
Five hundred sales in one month may
appear as a small amount of business
for a number of Topeka druggists who
have been in the habit of reporting
more nearly one thousand than five
hundred sales each month. Five hun
dred sales is not placed as the limit but
the indications are that in the future
when a druggists sales exceeds this
number that there Will be more or less
cross questioning and unless satisfac-
tory explanations are forthcoming that
particIar druggist will stand first
class show of losing his money maker
in the form of druggists permit.
PROBATE SCuOCh ID VI LIN
opinion that there are very few drug
gists in Topeka who are not abusing
their permit privileges and there is
trouble brewing. A halt has already
been called on the indiscriminate
sale of liquor by Topeka druggists
and a number of permits have been
surrendered and a number of other
druggists who in the past have had
permits have had their application OF
renewals turned down by either Judge
Schoch or County Attorney John
Schenck.
When Judge Schoch assumed con-
troll of the probate judges office the
entire atmosphere and surroundings
changed and the change was more
than ever marked today. This is the
first report that the druggists have
made to him since he assumed the
duties of the office but the report that
leaked out from somewhere that
there would be some rigid invest1gat-
ing done has worked wonders.
The sales report will not be COM
pleted until Tuesday morning but the
reports already filed when compared
with those of last month indicate
that the liquor sales in Topeka have
decreased fully fifty per cent. In the
past the monthly sales have amounted
TO from fifteen to twenty thousand
but those figures are of the past and
during the term of the present pro-
bate Judge it is fair to presume that
they will not average half this num-

COOLEST OF WINTER.
Storm Causes Much Suffering in
Greater New York.

New York, Feb. 1.-Swept by a bit
ting northwest wind, New York city
today experienced the coolest weather
of the winter. The temperature in
some portions of the greater city was
down to zero just before daylight and
the official thermometer of the wealth
er bureau registered five below zero.
Two thousand applicants for food and
coffee were lined UP at the Bowery mis-
sion during the night, the largest num-
Der fed there this winter. In addition
to these three hundred and eighteen
persons including "A women, were given
shelter at the city lodging house and
the pier of the charities department at
the foot of East Twenty-sixth street.
The street cleaning department had
600 men at work removing the snow
during the night, but when the cold be-
came so intense the work was discon-
tinued.
Eighteen families were driven from
their homes in a tenement house in
East Seventy-seventh street by fire
early today. Policemen whose pity was
excited by their sufferings from the
cold went through the adjoining houses
in search of neighbors who would give
them shelter. The fire caused little
damage.

The city treasurer has tied in rubber
bands bunch of school warrants
amounting to $1S,067.37 together with a

part of the deal is that every one of

stamp on them bearing this sad tale:

the warrants have been running ever
