Pulp.
VICTIMS N TWO HOUSES
Man Whose Wife and Two Children
Are Among Slain Arrested, but Is
Believed Innocent-Tragedy at
Colorado Springs.
Colorado Springs, Colo, Sept. 20

Colorado Springs, Colo, Sept. 20.
Murdered in their own beds by
some unknown person who used an
axe the bodies of six persons, three
in each Of two neighboring houses,
were found here this afternoon, The
heads of all the victims had been
smashed in and the appearance of
the bodies indicate that they had
been dead several days, and that
death came while they slept.
A report says the murderer has
been canght and has confessed, but
this is denied by police officials who
fear a lypching.
An axe which had been loaned to
Mrs Henry r. Wayne, one OF the
victims. by ]. r. Evans, neighbor,
last week, was found with blood
stains on it by Mrs. Evans on Mon
day near the back door of the Wayne
home. No attention was paid to
this fact, however, as it was thought
the axe had been used in killing
chickens.
The dead are:
Mrs. Alice May Burnham, wife Of
A. ]. Burnham, cook at the Modern
Woodmen Sanitarium.
Their two children, Alice, aged 6,
and John, 8 years old.
Henry F. Ward, a consumptive,
until recently patient at the WooG-
mems Sanitarium,
Mrs. Wayne and their one-year-
old baby girl.
The discovery of the bodies was
made by neighbor who called al
the Burnham home.
Burnham, who lives at the sani-
tarium, where he is employed, about
ten miles from the city, was placed
under arrest soon after the discovery
of the crime, but there seems to be
nothing to lmpllcate him in the
tragedy. His employers say he wa:
at work when the crime must have
been committed
He was last seen at his home Sun.
day night and 1t is said he had left
there about 5 O'Clock.
Little Is known of the Wayne fam.
lily except that Wayne came to the
Woodmen sanitarium about ter
months ago from Indiana as pa
tient. One month ago his term IL
the institution was up and h,
brought his wife and child to thi.
city and rented the house in which
they were murdered.

British Cruiser Hawk in Worse Con-
dition, Howcver-No Lives Lost
Similar Accident Near Same Place
Four Years Ago,

southampton, Eng, Sept 20
The great steamship Olympic of the
White Star Line, which left South
ampton crowded with American
tourists shortly before noon lies to-
night off Kalshot Castle, at the en-
trance OF Southampton harbor with
a gaping hole in her site as result
of collision with the British pro-
tected cruiser, Hawk. Fortunately
no lives We're lost and OF the 1900
or more passengers ard crews OF the
vessels none were injured.
The accident occurred few miles
from the spot where the American
liner, st. Paul, and the British cruis-
or, Gladiator, collided-nearly four
years ago and as In the previous
case the warship came off second
best. so far as can be ascertained
tonight.
The extent of the damage to the
liner, however, cannot be decided
until 1t Is docked and an examina-
tion Is made Of the rent which the
cruisers ram cut in its side
Warship Is Blamed
The miracle is that the Olympic
ted not sunk, as the Hawk is fit
ted with ram specially designed to
sink vessel in spite of its water
tight compartments. The liners
frame stood the shock well.
So far as can be learned the Hawk
suffered more severely Curiously
enough twelve feet of her upper
works were twisted out of recogni-
ton.
The Hawk sent a wireless mes
sage for tugs and remained along
side the liner until they arrived to
convoy II to Southampton where II
dropped anchor to await the turn OF
the tide to enable 1t to proceed to
its dock
Many theories are advanced as to
the cause of the collision but gener-
ally the warship is blamed.

I INSTEAD of fur sets and costumes,
fashionable dolls are this season wear
ing pretty clothes crocheted of wool
These are warm and serviceable for
everyday wear and can easily be made
by girls who know simple crochet stitches.
The fare picture hat worn by the girl doll
and the Tam o. Shanter which is a part of
the boy dolls outfit are both examples Of
simple crochet stitches carefully shaped by
widening or narrowing, as the shape re-
quires. The girls hat is begun on a tiny
ring made of two or three chain stitches
and widened gradually until the last two
or three rows are reached, when these
are made much fuller to give a rufled
effect. On the edge of the wool shape
there is trimming of silk floss GRO
cheted with a smaller hook.
The skirt to this dolls costume is be-
gun on chain made to fit around the
waist, and each row of double crochet is
wider than the preceding one. so that the
skirt becomes fuller as it begins to take
form and has a graceful fare at the bot
tom. This is finished Oh the edge with
a row of crocheting in silk.
Another pretty model is a princess dress
which has yoke crocheted in a simple
stitch and widened in rows of double GRO
Chef. At the belt it is narrowed slightly
and here ribbon may be run in and out
to give the frock more shape. The skirt
widens each row and just above the edge
there is another ribbon band for trim
ming.
Sleeves are the most difficult part of
crochet dresSmaking. Sometimes they
can be made in one piece with the yoke or
waist of the dress and sewed up after
ward under the arms. Then a fancy
stitch can be added to finish the wrist,
and if the sleeves are too wide 4 ribDon

where all the nurses were slumbering so
soundly and wondered if she dared awake
