MURDER BATTLES POLICE
Four Dead Bodies Found In House at
Lawrence, Mass.

Lawrence, Mass, Feb. 3.-Discov-
cry was made that quadruple MUIR
der had occurred in the foreign sec
tion of the city, the crime being that
OF either maniac or some person
wreaking terrible vengeance for
some real or. fancied wrong. The
victims were Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
Savora, Mrs. Annie Dennis, who
boarded with the couple, and an un-
identified man.
The first supposition was that the
crime had to do with the textile
strike, and it was rumored that the
four people killed were strikers who
had either returned to work in the
mills or had expressed an intention
OF so doing. Tlse police made a per
sonal request Of the newspaper re.
porters not to s.Id out any stories
until thorOvg III Investigation had
been made to determine if the crime
had any connection with the st.ike.
When this mad been completed 1t
was announced that. none of the four
was a mill operative and that their
murders had no bearing on the labor
trouble here.

INSURGENTS DIVIDED
New Iron Schedule Has Rocky Road
Ahead In Senate.

Washington, Feb 3.-The Republi.
can insurgents in the senate are split
up over the Democratic bill revising
the iron and steel schedule, and there
is a good prospect that the measure
may never go to the president for his
signature.
The placing OF iron ore on the free
list is the feature of the bill that has
caused trouble in the insurgent
ranks. Senators LaFollette of Wis
consin and Clapp of Minnesota are
opposed to free iron ore, which Is an
important product of those states.
Senator Bristow of Kansas, on the
other hand, Is on record In favor of
free iron ore, and Senator Cummins
also is said to have a decided lean.
Ing in that direction.
From present indications the diff.
ferences between the insurgents on
this question are going to increase
and the Democrats in the senate may
find II impossible to corral the five
Republican votes necessary for the
passage Of the bill In that body.

Ulster Unionists Promise Warm Re
ception For Churchill.
London, Feb. 3.-The Tory Post
this morning out-distances all recent
prophets of trouble at Belfast on
Feb. 8, when Winston Churchill. John
Redmond and other prominent men
will speak in favor of home rule. 1t
asserts that from $4,000 to 10000 Ul-
ster Unionists will assemble. These
men will be animated by intense
hatred Of what they regard as the
treachery of Mr.. Churchill and Lord
Pierrie, who was lord mayor of Bel
fast in 1867, in supporting the home
rule cause. Thirty thousand of these
men, the Post says. will be armed
with revolvers, and the majority will
slso carry clubs.
The post says the government is
aware of the truth of the foregoing
statement and realizes that 1000
troops win be necessary to preserve
order, out none have yet been or
dered to Belfast.

Miller For Uniform Texts

stand contrary to that of his predeces-

tion into the legislature and openly
worked on legislators with powerful
lobby of agents representing the book
trusts. that were earning big divi-
dends by selling many different texts
and forcing frequent changes of them
The means adopted by the book trust
to combat the uniform text book bills
introduced in the legislature, indicat-
ed that concern had selfish motive,
and Commissioner Miller's stand will
meet with popular approval.
In his recommendation to the state
school book commission, Mr.. Miller
says: "The prices paid for textbooks
by the patrons of our schools, when
compared with the actual cost of pro
duction, is entirely too great. The
question naturally arises. what can be
done to lessen the cost and at the
same time maintain the efficiency of
our schools? 1t is the opinion of your
school commissioner that the best SO,
luton OF this problem is to have
statewide system of uniform textbooks
for the elementary schools for at least
the rural and village districts. This
would not only reduce the price OF
books but would also improve the ef-
fciency OF many of our rural and vii.
lage schools.

Opposing The Tax Law

The tax situation in Columbus SHOWS
one OF the implements that public Of
hcers have to discredit the low taS
rate law.
Property owners in that city are
compelled to pay a rate Of $1.35 per
500, whereas rate of less than $1.3O
per 500 would be sufficient.
The $1.35 rate will produce $40, 900
more money than public officers can
legally expend.
The budget commission, which fixes
the levy, is made dp of Republicans,
and they are responsible. In fixing the
levy for the city of Columbus, the
commission disregarded the city board
OF review and the additions that body
would make to the tax duplicate.
The city boards of review go over
the duplicates after local assessors
complete their tasks, and of course
additions that are made would lower
the levy. Surely the Columbus budg-
ct commissioners could have antici-
pated additions and fixed the levy
with regard to them.
Chas. M. Luthy, of tne Columbus
Board of Review, said: 1.-THE members
OF our board have added $14,976, OBS
to the Columbus duplicate.
I'VE have had up to date 5000 peo.
pie before us on Incorporated Com.
panies and personal property. In.
creases averaged from 100 per cent
to 1900 per cent. In addition to this
we inspected 1929 buildings as a
Board of Equalization and Revision.
We inspected every factory in the ci-
ty, and if our Tax Budget Commission.
composed of the mayor, county audi.
tor and prosecuting attorney had TAX
en- our increases on personal proper
ty into consideration the rate would
have been reduced to less than $1.3O.
Under the rate of S1.35 there will
be ABOUT $65,OO0,Oo0 surplus, and this
Is based on the duplicate as It was be-
fore our board began work. With our
additions the surplus will be SIS, 600.
Since Nov. 22nd, when we turned over
to the county auditor our personal
We have increased the
same $1,1O9,99S.O0 all of which will be
collected for the full year in June,
1912, and will be that much additional
surplus"

FERRY IS OUT
OF COMMISSION
The Ferry on Westport Road
Ceases to Operate---Heater
Has Plan to- Resume

The southside ferry, on the new
road to Westport went out of commits
sion last Tuesday, the cost of opera
ton not justifying the county to con-
tinue, the amount of travel consider
ed. The people of Westport, the south
side of Grays HarbOr and the ocean
beach are indigant, at the stoppage
of the road they had labored for many
years to secure.
The ferry consists of barge two
ed by a steamer, and was operated
at cost of $500 month, and the
county commissioners are justified in
stopping such an expense for the
amount of travel accommodated in the
winter months But, there is no rea-
son for the practical closing of the
Westport road if the ferry be placed
where it should have gone in the
first place, and where the committee
of the Aberdeen Chamber OF Com
merce had selected, but. for some un-
accountable reason, was Overruled by
the county engineer.
At this point cable ferry can be
operated without the cost of dollar
to the county, after the change is
made. Jacob Heater, who has oper-
ated the county ferry and owns the
barge stands ready to give bond
to operate the ferry at all times OF
the, year, except when prevented by
by heavy storms, and take as compen
satiOn the tolls collected, the rates
being fixed by the county.
Mr.. Heater will present his propo
sition to the county commissioners al
their next meeting, and will probably
be backed by the entire population OF
Westport. His offer will ask the
county to furnish. drive and cap about
1000 lineal feet of piling, and he will
put in the landing and furnish the
cable and all equipment necel sary
for the operation of a first class ferry
He asks permission to use in this
work the plank and logs now in the
present landing. The change of 10
cation will require the building o
about 200 feet of new road, the righ
of way for which will be donated, ant
the new road will shorten the distance
