FIRE CHIEF BLAMES
SMALL SALARIES

BAY CITY, Mich, May 17.-Fire
Chief Harding has written an open
letter to the Board of Commerce ex'
planning the troubles in the city fire
department, which recently was Sc
verely critized in the report of the ma
tional board OF insurance writers.
Chief Harding says that 1t is i'm
possible TO get efficient full pay men,
because the call men, who do not live
i'm the fire halls, and are allowed to
take other jobs, earn more money
than the men on duty all the time, and
as a result, the call men prefer TO
remain as such, and when vacancies
occur will not take them. Chief Hard
ing has asked the board to use its in
fiuence to have the fire department
taken out of politics.

DOUBLE TRAGEDY At DAWSON
Husband Follows Wife From Califor-
MIA and Kills Her and
Her Father.

George Baker entered the house
Of his father-in-law, Thomas Glass,
residing at Dawson, and without a
word Of warning drew a gun and fired
three shots into Glass body. Then he
turned to his wife and fired the re-
naming shots in his revolver at her.
Death in each case was instantaneous.
Baker then left the house, leading one
of his two children, but was arrested
at the front gate and lodged in Jail.
The authorities are taking special
precautions to protect their prisoner,
as threats of lynching have been made
by the friends of Bakers victims.
1t is said that Baker married his
wife under an assumed name and
moved to California. When MI. Glass
learned of this alleged deceit he sent
his daughter money and told her to
come home. Baker followed them and
the shooting was the result.

WAR LIKELY TO CONTINUE
Allies Say Turkey Must Treat Direct
ly With Them

WIFI IHCHs
Berlin, Nov. Germany and Aus
tr1a will not join in Intervention in
the Balkan war without a request to
take such a step coming directly from
one Of the belligerents. The German
foreign Office has received no conf1r-
nation of the report that Turkey has
asked the powers to mediate.
Those powers thus far consulted
have responded to Turkeys appeal for
mediation by declaring that they could
make only proposals for peace and
could not approach the Balkan nations
with a request for an armistice.
Some of the governments have
pointed out that Turkeys proposal for
q cessation of hostilities-in other
words an armistice-would offend the
Balkan victors. Other governments
take the position that it would be an
infringement of international law for
The moment.
The war must, therefore, continue
and the Turkish armies, which the
porte has at last admitted have been
beaten, must keep on with their un-
equal struggle against the victorious
invaders.

BRIEF SKETCH OF CAREER
Vice President Sherman Lived In
Utica All His Life.

JIG All HIS Life.
Utica, N. Y, Oct. 31.-In this coun-
try it is rather unusual for a man of
national prominence, professional,
business and political life, to have
lived his entire life and to have Gre
ated his entire career in the town
where he was born. That was the ex-
perience of James Schoolcraft Sher-
man, vice president Of the United
States, who has just passed away.
Mr.. Sherman was born in Utica,
Oct. "a, 1855, the son of General Rich
ard U. Sherman, and with the excep-
ton of short periods when he was
away at college he had lived there
continuously.
Mr.. Sherman's political career be-
gan in 1884, when he was elected
mayor of Utica. For two years he
served as chief magistrate of his ma
tive town and then retired from poll
tics until 1887, when he was elected
to congress from the Twenty-third
district, Of which Utica is the prin-
e1pal city. He served until the end of
1891 and then retired for two years,
when he was again returned and
served until 1909.
In 1908 Mr.. Sherman was nominated
for vice president on the ticket with
President Taft and was elected.

CONFESSES KILLING WOMAN
Slayer Says He Struck Miss Singer
in Self-Defense.

Chicago, Nov. 4.-Broken by thirty
six hours of silent treatment, a new
form of third degree devised by Cap
tain Max Nootbaar of the Chicago po-
lice, Charles N. Kramer confessed
that he killed Sophia Singer, the Bal
timore heiress found murdered here
last Monday night.
Kramer, known generally by his
stage name of Conway, in the final
confession that cleared up the murder
mystery, added a new feature to the
statement given by his wife. He said
that he struck Miss Singer down in
self-defense when she attacked him
with a razor after he had rebuked her
for making, he said, an Objectionable
suggestion to Mrs. Kramer. Kramer
exonerated his wife from all blame in
connection with the crime.
