HOPES TO ESCAPE GALLONS
Can't Hang a Man with Wooden

Chicago. Nov. 3-Charles Newton Kra-

Miss Sophia Gertrude Singer Of Balti-
more, It is expected will repeat his tragic
story Of the murder tomorrow when the
coroner's inquest over the body Of the
victim is resumed. Mrs. Kramer, who
gave the police the first definite informa-
ton that her husband killed Miss Singer
also will testify. In the mean time Kra-
mer and his wife are being held without
bail.
Kramers demeanor remains the same
as when ne first was taken in custody.
lie insists that he killed the woman in
self-defence, and processes to believe that
he will be freed when tried by a jury IN
the Criminal Court. He continued TO Jest
about his predicament to-day and seemed
in a jolly mood.
Under the law they can't hang man
with a wooden leg in this state he re-
marked.
How is that?" inquired police Of
fcer.
Because the law states a rope must
be used" the prisoner replied, with
laugh.
Police Captain Nootbaar had Kramer
before him in his private office for more
than an hour tonight, and the two went
over the written confession dictated by
the prisoner on Saturday. Before he
would afiix his signature Kramer insisted
on making q number of unimportant
changes. He made the corrections In his
own handwriting, and over each change
he inserted his initials, in order, as he
expressed It, that the police could not
put anything over on him."
: The police profess to place little cred
ence i'm Kramer's declaration that he
killed Miss Singer in sclf-defence, and
will endeavor 20 show that the motive for
the killing was robbery. In support OF
this theory, they point TO the circum-
stance that the clothesline which Kra-
mer used to bind Miss Singer was taken
from the back yard at 6 o'clock in the
evening, several hours before the murder
was committed. His explanation OF this
is that his wife asked him TO get the
cIotheslinc so that she might dry some
clothes I'm their room.
Mrs. Kramer was again questioned by
the police officials to-day but gave no
new information.
Kramer and his wife met I'm Captain
Nootbaar's private Office for a few mo-
mcnts this afternoon. They greeted each
other affectionately.
II told the police that you had nothing
to do with the murder" Kramer said to
his wife. Il alone am to blame and am
willing to take all the consequences. l
hope they do not try to stick you for H.
When Mrs. Kramer was about TO be led
from the room Kramer displayed MS hrst

But in installing new bathtub there are
many sanitary points to be considered.
The bathtub should rest squarely on the
floor, with no obscure or inaccessible dust
and insect traps below or behind II. The

Ter service of the bathtub should never
enter on the floor Of the tub. The mech
anism OF this floor supply of water is
such that 1t is always possible that a
person drawing water from a tap on the
floor below the tub may receive some of
the soIled water from the tub. The hot
and cold water service pipes, therefore,
should be placed somewhat above the es-
cape pipe.
The steam vapor peril may be avoided
by having double bath cock. with a hot
and a cold water lever which permits
mixing the water to an agreeable tenn
perature as II flows. The inhalation Of
steam vapor may jeopardize weak heart

agents as were spoken OF In connection

thing TO see the perforated opening OF

enamel, with happy cockroaches, drawn
by the abundance OF food I'm the waste

hard states that the outlet of a bathtub
should be very large to permit a quick
discharge OF the water, thus securing a
thorough securing OF the trap and waste
pipe. The speedy liberation of forty or
fifty gallons OF water would act as flush
tank. The retarded draining of a bathtub
is therefore not only trial OF patience,
but neglected sanitary efficiency In the
home. l find, by measurement, that the
bathtub waste plug Is frequently one and
one-quarter inches IN diameter. With a
proper strainer II might be considerably

NO ELECTION
This FALL

The Supreme Court this morn
ing reversed the opinion Of Su
perior Judge Phillips on the ap-
pllcation of State Senator H. A.
= Davis for a writ of injunction re-
straining Secretary of the State
Sidney Osborne from sending out
notices of primaries to precede a
general election. 1t was directed
that the writ be issued.
According to the Supreme
Court. In an opinion of 1000
words, the constitution placed a
certain limitation upon the legis-
lature when it provided that a
general election should be held
the "even-numbercd' year after
Arizona's admittancc to state
hood. Any legislative act III
conflict with the constitutional
clause must be null and void.
There must be an election Tor
presidential electors and for con
rgressman, since such election IS
provided for in the constitution
OF the United States. Secretary
Osborn stated this morning that
he would today send notices OF
the primaries to the various
county boards of supervisors.
This decision of the Supreme
Court does not mean that the
Kinney labor bill and the WON
ans suffrage measure cannot be
voted on at chat election. as
some poorly informed persons
have contended. They based their
contention on the fact that the
initiative petitions are drawn
to place the bills before the vot-
ers at general election"
Leading attorneys OF the city
say that the election for presl-
Dental electors and congressman
will be regular, and in that sense
general. There is nothing to pre-
vent the voters registering their
will regarding the two initiated
propositions at that time.

Full Speed Ahead

chest which contains the records
of that faithful day at Manila, |
asked Admiral Dewey what was
in his mind the night
before the battle of Manila, when
he contemplated entering a har-
hor mined with torpedoes. His
eyes sparkled as he replied:
"All night and all morning my
mind had reverted to one pic
ture-that of Flag Officer Farra-
gut, whom | first met at New
Orleans in 1861. There were no
admirals in those days, the cap
tains being the highest ranking
officers; and our urcommander was
the Flag Officer. We young ca
diets grew instinctively to admire
the intrepid Farragut, and that
night at Mobile will never be
forgotten, when his voice rang
out loud and clear: Damn the
torpedoes-full speed ahead.
Somehow that command would
ring in my ears every time dang
er confronted us. One does not
1nst,nctively think OF himself in
such moments, but Of some hero
whose life has impressed him"

Dewey's command to begin

records it that he calmly said to-
the commander: "Gridley, when
