TOTHE MOTHER
OF TRlPLETS
Attention, Col. Roosevelt!
Look What's Happened
in the Wilson Family
TWELVE IN 9 YEARS
Two Sets of Trios, Pair of
Twins, and Quadruplets
Record for Angel City

n UADRUPLETS born yesterday,
and two sets of triplets and one
" set of twins in the last nine years
is the Rooseveltian record against race
suicide achieved by Mr.. and Mrs. w.
w. Wilson of 2O19 Magnolia avenue.
Four little babes lying side by side
in O snowy white bed last night claimed
distinction, but doubly so by reason
Of the other sets of children that have
preceded them.
The twins are both alive and are
pretty girls of years The first set
of triplets died, and from the second
set but one, a boy of years, survives
The four little ones born late yesterday
afternoon were proudly welcomed by
the father and mother.
The Wilson family has long been
known for it's Roosevelt policies, Mrs.
Wilson being one of a set of twins,
while twins are quite popular on both
sides of the family. Mr.. and Mrs. VIII
son, however, are the only ones claim
ing the distinction of triplets and
quadruplets in the family.
Complmented by Teddy
Upon the arrival of the first set of
triplets President Roosevelt wrote sew
eral letters of congratulation to the
couple. which then boasted the twins
and tripIets When these little ones

broken in health. Mrs Wilson came to
Los Angeles where she was later
Joined by Mr.. Wilson. The second set
of triplets born in Los Angeles, were
two boys and one girl, as were the
first set. Last night the record mark
of the family was changed, and four
babes-two boys and two girls-set
new record in the family circle Twelve
children at four births within the past
nine years is the unusual record or
which Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson are proud.
At the time Of the San Franc SEQ
earthquake and shortly after the death
of two of the last set of triplets Mrs,
Wilson sent sever hundred baby gar
ments to the lererS from her large
store of bab. things.
The little twins were very much eX-
cited over the little brothers and sis
ters, although they have become accus-
toned to wholesale additions to the
family.
Unique Buggy Ready
The babies born yesterday will fall
heir to a unique baby buggy which
was made to order for the first set of
triplets. three go-carts being placed
abreast. the wheels being at the outer
sides. This was also used for the last
set of trplets, but friends of the fam
iIv. are now wondering if four will be
placed together and if it would be
considered an obstruction of the side
walk.
At the birth of the second triplets
national attention was called to the
family, and many congratulatory tel
egrams and letters were received.

BABY'S SCALP CRUSTED

"Our little daughter, when three
months old, began to break out on the
head and we had the best doctors to
treat her, but they did not do her any
good. They said she had eczema. Her
scalp was a solid scale all over The
burning and itching was so severe that
she could not rest, day or night We
had about given up all hopes when we
read of the Cuticura Remedies. We at
once got cake of Cuticura Soap, @
box Of Cuticura Ointment and one bot
tie Of Cuticura Resolvent, and fol-
lowed directions carefully. After the
first dose of the Cuticura Resolvent,
we used the Cuticura Soap freely and
applied the Cuticura Ointment Then
she began to improve rapidly and IN
two weeks the scale came off her
head and new hair began to grow. In
a very short time she was we'll. She is
now sixteen years Of age and pic
ture of health. We used the Cuti-
cura Remedies about five weeks, reg
ularly, and then we could not tell she
had been affected by the disease. We
used no other treatment after we
found out what the Cuticura Remedies.
would do for her. J. Fish and Ella M.

Authorities, Both Municipal and State,
Preparing to Probe to the Finish and

Newark, N. J.-Twenty-eight girls
known to be dead, burned, suffocated
or crushed in leaping from the win
dows; eight dying at hospitals; at
least Is missing, their bodies supposed
to be lying now under tons of smoking
debris, and so more seriously injured
is the tragic toll of a fire in an anti
Quated four-story brick factory.
Inadequate fire escapes, a narrow
winding wooden stairway, the only
other exit, and panic, blind, wild, un-
reasoning panic, forced by a riot Of
smoke and fame through flooring and
walls soaked in the oil drippings Of
so years, sums up the story.
Municipal authorities of Newark and
the Essex county officials are prepar-
ing an investigation designed to bring
to punishment any individual in pri-
vate or in official life to whose neglect
may be attributed the calamity.

SAYS NEW RATES NOT NEEDED
Brandels Declares Roads Can Add to
Their Income by Scientific
Management.

Washington - The shippers had
their innings in tn Q contest be.
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion over the suspended proposed
increases in freight rates on the east
ern lines. Their contention is that
the advances are not justified, and
that the real solution of the problem
lies in the introduction of scientific
principles in management.
Louis Brandeis, counsel for the
trafic committee of the commercial
organization Of the Atlantic Seaboard,
opened for the shippers by asserting
that the proposed increase were Meth.
er reasonable nor just. He declared
that if the railroads need additional
net income it should be secured
through greater efficiency and econ
omy Of operation instead of resorting
to the dangerous expedient OF raising
freight rates. In instances where such
need may appear it resulted, he said.
not because rates are too low, but
that the management has by reck-
less expansion, waste and ineticiency
impaired the financial condition Of
the roads.

TARS WIN DEMANDS
BRAZILIAN CONGRESS GRANTS AM.
NEsTY AND NEW CONCESSIONS
TO REBELLIoUs SAILORS.
VESSELS PUT OUT TO SEE
Before Decision Is Reached Mutlnous
Ships Disappear City of Rio
JaneIro Resumes Normal Activities
and Excitement Subsidies.

Rio Janeiro.-The mutiny among
the sailors of the Brazilian navy was
ended Friday.
Congress, meeting in extraordinary
session, voted to concede every de-
mand of the uItimatum presented by
the sailors, including general amnes-
ty for the men who, after numbering
as many Of their superior officers as
was necessary to place them in COM
plete control, trained the guns of the
warships on the capital.
What effect the outcome will have
eventually on the discipline in the
navy is a matter Of some concern.
The immediate effect is to give the
sailors increased pay, shorter hours
of service and less work, through the
recruiting of additions to the crews,
and to abolish corporal punishment
In the feet.
During the debate in congress the
mutinous vessels put to sea and dis
appeared. Their destination is un-
known.
Following the action of congress
the city resumed its normal activities
and the public excitement subsided.
The dispatch, which was sent by
the muLlneers by wireless to Presi-
dent Fonseca, offering to surrender,
read as follows:
"Repentant Of the action we COM
mitted in our defense, and for the
sake of order, justice and liberty, we
lay down our arms, trusting that am
nesty will be granted to us. We
will remain obedient to your excel
lency, in whom we have all conf.
dence"
While the revolt lasted the people
of the city were kept in a state of
suspense, fearing that the mutineers
would make good their threat to blow
up the capitol unless their wishes
were met. 1t is doubtful, however
that they would have taken this step
in any event because of the likeli-
hood of complications with Great
Britain.
There is no attempt to give a po-
litical color to the revolt, as only
petty navy officers participated with
the sailors, but the mutinous ships
constituted a controlling proportion of
the feet.

NAB BRAINS OF STOCK FRAUDS
ALL MEMBERS BURR BROTHERS.
CONCERN UNDER ARREST.
Fourth Man Is Found In Michigan and
Fifth In Portland, Ore
Hitchcock EIated.

New York.-All members Of the
stock brokerage firm OK Burr
Brothers, Inc, whose offices were
raided by postoffice inspectors, are
now in custody, C. Harry Tobey being
placed under arrest at Bloomingdale,
Mich.
Frank H. Tobey, the vice-president
of Burr Brothers, is a brother of c..
Harry Tobey. With Shelton c. Burr,
the president, and Eugene H. Burr,
the secretary and treasurer, he is
still in the Tombs, charged with using
the mails to defraud The fifth pris-
oner, E. w. Preston, is under arrest
at Portland, Ore.
None of the prisoners has been able
to secure bail. Tobey and Preston
will be brought here for trial.
c. Harry Tobey, it is alleged by the
post Office officials, is the head and
brains of the Burr company. Every
move made by the concern, they say,
was by his direction. His interests
here were looked after by his brother
and between, it is said, they have in
vested over a million dollars of their
profits in western lands.
Many pathetic scenes were wit
messed in and around the offices of the
Burrs. The publicity given to the
raid brought some fifty dupes, many
OF them women, hurrying to the Flat
iron building to see If they could save
anything for themselves out of the
wreck. Few Of these were investors
in Buick oil.
Postmaster General Hitchcock was
greatly elated over the success of the
raid and said that 1t was only the be-
ginning of things.

CRIPPEN DIES ON GALLOWs
American Dentist Goes to His Death
In London Prison Yard for
Killing Wife.

Lon6on.-Doctor Hawley H. Grip
pen was hanged at 500 a. m. Wednes-
day for the murder of his wife, Belle
Elmore Crippen. The execution took
place in the court yard of the Penton-
vile prison. The official hangman of
England pulled the trap that sent Grip
pen into eternity. The prisoner, to all
outward appearances, seemed resigned
to his fate and walked bravely to his
doom. Eighteen minutes after the trap
fell the Jury of four physicians pro-
nounced him dead. His neck had been
broken. The death march started from
his cell at 8:15 a. m. and proceeded
through the prison corridors to the
gallow, which had been erected. AS
Crippen was led upon the scaffold,
the hangman's aids removed the
prisoners collar. Before the moose
was adjusted the chaplain of the
prison administered the last rites of
the church, at the conclusion of which
the attendants adjusted the black cap
and dropped the moose over the pris-
oner's head.

TAFT FOR MORE PUBLICITY
Approves Treasury Rules Making Re-
turns Under Corporation Tay
Available for Public Inspection

Washington.-President Taft struck
an effectual blow in favor of public
ity Of the affairs of corporations when
on Friday he approved the rules of the
secretary of the treasury under which
all returns made under the corpora
ton tax law shall be available to the
public.
The corporation income tax law was
framed for the purpose of insuring
under heavy penalties including impris-
onment, an accurate yearly return of
the operations of all corporations. Fol-
lowing this the publicity feature was
added and now the rules under which
this publicity is to be insured have
been framed by Secretary MacVeagh
and approved by the president.
These rules will insure publicity as
widespread as any reasonable man
can expect.
1t is the belief of the president that
the regulations mark the final step
toward securing the needed publicity
O. the affairs of corporations. The
rules will go into effect Immediately.

New York.-In order to bring

Gen Frederick D. Grant, commander

by increasing our army to $780,

in a few years have among the peo-
pie engaged in peaceful and gainful
occupations 100000 men trained to
the military service. The present au-
thorized strength of our army is 1O0,-
900, but we have actually in the serv-
ice only about $4,000 men, because
congress has refused to make the ap-
propriations needed.
In the execution of his scheme. Gen.
eral Grant would divide the country
into military districts and require
each district to provide the enlarged
army every year with a quota of re-
cruits to be determined by the mill
tary authorities, based upon popula-
ton.
"As I estimate it, such an increase
in the size of the army would not in
crease it's cost so per cent. In round
figures the present cost of the army
is S123,O0O,0OO. The addition of 150,-
