CALLS WIFE FROM WORK
 KILLS HER Brutal Murder Committed
 Today By Frank
 Truckle Revolver In Hand Assassin Compels Automob obilist to
 Flee With Him Finally Cornered He At tempts to End Own Life Wife Had Caused Arrest

Hamilton, Ont, May 1s-Frana Truckle, whose home is in Brantford, shot and instantly killed his pretty 24 year, old wife Lena Truckle, shortly before noon, today. and was chased for blocks by the police, in an auto- mobile. He then turned the revolver and shot himself through the breast. The doctors say he will recover. Truckle committed the crime in full view of thousands of shoppers in the public market and before anyone in the mortified crowds could attempt to stop him.
 The victim of the mans f1endish act was an exceptionally pretty young woman and for several months had been employed as a waitress at the King George Hotel. Shortly before II o'clock, the man walked up to the door of the hotel and beckoned to his wife. She left her work and went out to him.
 Then he asked her to walk a little way up the street with him as he wished to talk to her privately. Just one block from the hotel he sudden ly seized her by the aym, drew a .32 calibre revolver and fired into her breast. The woman fell dead on the sidewalk without moan, the bullet having gone clean through her heart.
 Hearing the shot, hundreds of people rushed to the spot and attempted tc seize TruckIe, who held up the chauf- feur of a passing automobile and climbed into the car. With revolver levelled at the chauffeur, Truchle de. manded to be driven away The driv- CT was forced to comply.
 By Mis time t4e police had been notified and a nQuad of patrolmeu climbed into another automobile and gave chase, coming up with the otf1e, machine near the entrance to tho Ca. nadian Pacific Railroad tunnel. There Truck1e jumped out and ran across to Rev.,~E. S. DoWS who was stand. ing on the lawn in front bf hi, hoS1ae. r
 s'Forsive me, Father, for my sins I am not sorry for killing her bu, only sorry that I had such a wife!s he said, then. pointed the revolver al himself And tired bullet into his breast
 The police rushed him to the city hospital where he II lying a .critica, condition although lie is expected tc recover.
 The motive for the crime is given by the police as revenge on the part up in police court by his wife a few weeks ago on charge of assault He was acquitted after having ac. cused his wife of paying undue atten- tion to other men.

TEN FOOT CENTER CASE SCHEDULED
 FOR TRIAL SOON
Judge Burpee Assigns Case to Docket for Hearing
 Next Wednesday
Attitude of Public Utilities Commission Will Be Rep resented By City's Coun- sel As Arbitrary and In Excess of Powers.

That the Public Utilities commis- sion decided the 10 foot center dispute between the Connecticut Go. and the City of Bridgeport in an arbitrary manner and in abuse of it's power, will be one of the claims of City At torney John s. Pullman, and his as- sociate counsel, former City Attorney Thomas M. Cullinan, when the case comes to trial within few days be- fore Judge Burpee in the Superior court.
 - The case is scheduled for trial on Wednesday of next week. It will be taken up in it's regular order. and if is expected that there will be little delay in reaching it. The counsel foI city are ready and the Connecticut Co. is anxious to have the matter settled without further delay.
 The attitude of the commission Is an important factor in the hearing and an effort will be made by the city's legal representatives to show that the Public Utilities commission in deciding the case acted in a high handed manner.
 The litigation over the 10 foot cen ters had it's inception with the refusal of the Common Council to grant per- mission to the company to relocate it's tracks in certain streets in such a manner z2s to occupy a gra&ter part Of th9 street thuasSis now given over to the trolley 1ntef6st1. sss
 The streets in 4uestions ere Fair field avenue. out throu9h the Wsst tracks lying in Eaet Washington ave nue and Noble avenue beginning at William street and continuing to Barnum avenue.
 The company wants to lay it's tracks SO that the distance from the centre line of one track to the center ol ent standard width in the city is feet 2 inches. The company repre- sents. it needs the additional space. to accommodate it's large cars, particus larly in curves, and to avert danger of collision.
 On being refused permission by the Common Council the company ap- pealed to the Public Utilities com mission. This body reversed the de- cision of the Common Council and ordered the city to allow the company to go ahead with the laying of the tracks on the proposed new centers. Thereupon the city appealed to the courts for redress.
 In view of the fact that of recent years the supreme court has held that in matters purely administrative the courts will not interfere with cities except when there ds 5udtciai point involved, Attorney B. L Suock of New Haven, representing the com stricken from the docket. Judge Burpee denied this motion after the contending counsel had submitted briefs, and he has now set the case down for, trial on Wednesday.
 The question will now be tried out on evidence, both as to the desirabil- ity of granting permission to the company to relocate it's tracks upon inc broader centre, and as to the at titude of the Public Utilities commits sion

Submarine Inventor Spends Night On Stranded Diver, Which Is Afioat Today
 Craft, Apparently Unscath- ed and Buoyant, Will Pro ceed Under Own Power to Bridgeport Harbor-En- couraging Telegram to Local Shipyard. i.

After Captain Simon Lake, inventor of submarines and designer of the Tuna. had spent the night aboard his diver imperilled on a sand bar off Great Egg Harbor, near Atlantic City the submarine was floated at 10 o'clock this. morning with the assist ance of government boats.
 Captain Lake, confident that his diver would ultimately come to the surface spent the night aboard her to umpire his loyal crew with confidence. The men, all Bridgeporters from the crew of the submarine Seal, now an- choFed in Bridgeport harbor, had gone to Newport News to bring the Tuna here for her final trials before she is turned over to the U. s. govern meut.
 General Manager c. B. Adams of the Lake Torpedo Co. received the following telegram this noon from Atlantic City: '~Tuna floated at 10 a. m. Apparently anchored in deep wa fer. Capt. Simon Lake aboard all night. The Tuna will proceed to this city under her own head. It is un- company that the great underwater fighter is absolutely undamaged from running aground.

Why They Can Spell It.

mysteries of my profession how every
British child enrolled in our schools
came to be authority on the spelling
Of chilblains. Teachers might hest
tate over one 81" or two, the children
never. They might make photographic
mess Of the simplest one syllable
word, but the tiniest tot from the
British isles went to the head Of the
class on ctilblains every time. One
wintry month in those same islands
told mo why. It is the word they saw
oftenest. In drug stores, in clothing
stores, In shops OF all kinds cures
aud preventives OF chilblains are uni
yersally advertised. Owing to the
exjgencies of the climate there is a
regular chilblains literature present.

no wonder they know how to spell
