Will Push New Water Main for
First Ward.
Also Installation of Fire Steam
er Hydrants.
WATERWORKS FUND
Will Pay for Additional Water
Pipes.
Engine to Be Installed as Soon
as Possible.

Following the announcement that a
fire steamer is an, assured fact for the
North side. is the news from Chief
Wilmarth that more fire protection
will be added as soon as possible. This
will consist of an additional water
main on Melan bridge, which has often
commissioners and Superintendent
Shaw of the waterworks department
are all in favor of it The expense of
the new main will not be paid out of
the city general revenue but from the
waterworks fund. The matter of plac-
ing fire steamer plugs in the mill dis
trict will also be pushed. Two addf-
tional fire alarms of the latest i'm
proved types have been already in
stalled on the North side, one near the
Central Sash and Door company and
one in the mill district on Quincy
street between Norris and Railroad
streets. This was done few weeks
ago The alarms are equipped with
the glass face key guard. In case of
fire, all that is necessary is to break
the glass in front, turn the key, there
by opening a door giving access to a
hook to be pulled for the alarm.
As to the installation of the fire
steamer. Chief Wilmarth this morning
said that he intended to visit station
No. ! again today and mako more in
NhSIlRallOQS TO learn what dQulIlOnS
and alterations would be necessary for
the installation of an engine, extra
men and equipment necessary. The
Improvement will be made as soon as
possible.
Regarding the new water main: At
present there is one ten-fnch main on
Melan bridge, which connects with the
''grid iron" system or network of
pipes north of the bridge. Another
one will run alongside it so if a break
occurs in one during fire or at other
times the other may be used
The steamer plugs will have three
nozzles-one four-inch for the steam
err hose. and two two and one-half-
inch for the regular hydrant hose.
These hydrants will be placed so as to
give the best protection to the milling
and most congested business districts.
The firemen from No l were called
to the Forbes mill ruin again last
evening at o'clock and worked there

prosecution and the defense In the So
called Vaughn murder case are bust

at Lancaster. near here. The unusual
mystery surrounding the murder. II
murder there was. and the promin-
ence of all the parties concerned have
combined to attract wide attention to
the case and the trial promises to be
one of the most notable of its kind
that has taken place In Missouri in a
long time.
The defendants in the case are Mrs.
Alma Proctor Vaughn. widow Of the
alleged victim. and DIR. James r. Hull
who was Mrs. Vaughn's family ply
sician. The two are accused of poi
soning Mrs. vaughn's husband. Prof.
John r. Vaughn. who was one Of
Missouri's leading educators and at
the time of his death. filled the chair

The death of Prof. Vaughn occurred
October IA. 1909. Though apparently
In the best Of health when he arrived
homo from church on the night of his
death. he died in commissions thirty
minutes later. At the time, however,
no one SUSPECTED that his death was
not natural or at any rate accidental.
The frivolous behavior of the widow
within few days after the death Of
her husband first aroused the public
suspicion and later led to an official
inquiry into the cause Of DR.. Vaughn's
sudden death. The body was exhum-
ed and an examination by the chemist
Of Missouri State university il said to
have disclosed the presence Of strych-
nine. The grand jury then returned
indictments charging first degree
murder against Mrs. Vaughn and DR..
Hull. who had been her physician and
on intimate terms with her family,
who are wealthy residents of Monroe
City.
Eminent counsel has been retained
to defend Mrs. Vaughn and DR.. Hull
It 10 understood that the defense will
rely upon q contention that Prof.
Vaughn was In the habit Of taking tab
let's containing strychnine and that
his death was the result of an acct
