POLICE FEEL
CONFIDENT
Believe They Will Arrest Man
Who Knows Some Details
ABOUT THE MARSH MURDER
Two Inspectors Have Been Sent to Maine
and Another to New York State to
Locate Man Who Is Suspected
of Having Information.

Lynn, Mass, April l5.--Until word is
received from the three inspectors who
left town last night, Chief of Police
Bureks expects nothing important to
develop in the search for the murderer
Of George Z. Marsh, he wealthy soap
manufacturer of this city. Two of the
inspectors are in Maine, and the third
went to New York state. Chief Burcks
IS confdeAEr that one of the inspectors
will be able to locate the man who is
suspected of knowing something about
the murder. As to the supposed identity
of the man they seek, the police are
silent.
The police have settled back onto one
theory and have practically abandoned
investigation on all other lines. They
believe Marsh was murdered by a man
with whom he was well acquainted Il
man who Travelled far TO see him, lay in
wait for an opportune moment, and on
Thursday night induced his victim TO
enter an automobile for ride.
The detailed information in the hands
Of the police which has led them to settle
upon this theory Chief Burcks refused
to make public, but he declared that
matters had been thoroughly inyestigat-
ed and that he was satisfied of the cor
rectness Of the theory.

Twenty Had Narrow Escape in
Augusta, Me-, Fire
WHICH MADE 100000 LOSS
At One Time the Flames Threatened to
Wipe Out a Considerable Portion
of Names Capital City Early
This Morning.

Augusta, Me-, April l5.--Damage,
which is estimated at 100000, was
caused early this morning by fire which
threatened for a time to wipe out con-
siderable of the business section of this
city. Before the tiremen had gained con-
troll, the flames had destroyed the old
City hotel building, the Comique theatre
and tenement house. A score of per-
sons were asleep in the hotel and they
fled to the street when awakened by the
.iremen and police. The fire started in
Robert Miller's fruit store, and at the
present time the cause of it is not
known.
The Miller fruit store was located in
the Bowman block, while next to it was
Nathan Richmond's drygoods store and
Louis Leyine's fruit store. These stores
were in what was known as the old
hotel The upper part OF the building
was used for a clearinghouse by Mrs.
Belle Murray, The flames then spread
from the hotel building to the theatre
and the tenement house. All the firemen
of the city were out fighting the fire.

WOOL BILL ALONE MAY PASS.
Other Tariff Measures Seem Doomed to
Defeat.

Washington, April l5.-The minority
of the Senate finance committee made a
report Saturday on the Underwood steel
bill. Senator John Sharp Williams sub
mitted the report. All of the Democrats
signed it except Senator Stone of Mis-
souri,, who is unavoidahly absent, but
who approves OF it. Senator La Fol
Iette is also absent, and his views are
not known He did not sign the ma
iority report. which was adverse to the
underwood bill
The statement Of the minority is brief
Senator Williams repeats his preference
for ad valorem over specified duties as
applied to manufactured products He
holds it to be an economic truism that
taxation to be just should not only be
equal but should be levied on articles
according to their values. The minority
adopts the House report and approves it.
1t is understood that Senator Gum
Minis of Iowa viii complete his bill deal
ing with the metal schedule early next
week. II does not differ very materially
from the Democratic bill so far as the
amount of duties is concerned, except
that it contains many specific duties.
Persons in position to know the
inside of the Democratic program at the
CA pitol understood Saturday that the
Democratic leaders were not very san
gune about their ability to pass any OF
their tariff bills, unless it is the wool
bill. They really have some hope OF
putting that bill through the Senate and
sending it to the president, and say II
passed the president will be compelled to
approve it or be put in very embar-
RAISING position.
There is much talk among the Demo
cratic leaders of trying to bring about
an early adjournment of Congress. Some
OF them argue that if they complete their
tariff program in the House they cannot
be held to account if the Senate fails
to pass their legislation. The legisla
tion that passed at the extra session
went through as the result OF coalition
between the Democrats and the progres
sive Republicans, led by Senator La
Toilette. The senator is now out on his
campaign and will probably not be back
in Washington in time to take part in
the work Of the session. The Democrats
res lize that the chances for a combina-
tion at this session are not so good as
they were at the extra session.
"And vet we had no agreement with
the progressive Republicans before" said
Senate Democratic leader Saturday.
Everybody believed there was some sort
OF agreement in advance. We compared
notes as to our relative strength, but
the combination was more apparent than
real and was due more to community of
interest than to any mutual compact"

LEE PLAYING FAST BALL.
Former Goddard and B. A. c. Player Won
Game for Tufts Saturday.

Barre baseball fans and others, who
recall the playing of Bernard Lee, a
graduate of Goddard seminary and for a
time q member of the Barre Athletic
club, will be interested to know that he
is credited with winning the game played
Saturday between Tufts college of Med
ford, Mass, and the Rhode Island State
college team. Mr.. Lee, or Cap" as he
is better known to the fans of this yicin-
ity, enrolled as a freshman at Tufts last
September, and early this season college
baseball experts pronounced him one OF
the fastest new infielders in college base
ball. Tufts defeated Rhode Island State
by the score of 4 to 3 in a thinning
game. The Boston Globe says OF Lees
work:
Tufts won a thrilling l4-inning game
with Rhode Island State college on Tufts
athletic field to-day (Satasdayl, the
game the first of the season for the
Medford eollegians. Lee, the freshman
second sacker, who had started the ninth
inning rally that tied the score for Tufts,
opened the I4th with triple TO deep
left Capt. Hooker the next man up,
was purposely passed, and then Laurie,
the old Somerville high player, came to
time with pretty Texas Lacquer scoring
Lee with the winning rum"
The Globe says further: at looked
like Rhode Islands game up to the ninth
session. Geary having been the only
Tufts batter to find Coleman for a safe
ty, In that inning Lee started things
by driving a vicious liner that was too
hot for Newton TO handle, and Captain
Hooker brought him home with bealti-
full drive to right for three sacks, later
scoring the tying run on Laurie's sacri.
fee. Bernie Lee ives the
star of the game, making one big league
stop and starting both batting rallies
that saved and won the game"
In the summary Lee is credited with
two hits, three putouts, one assist and
no errors.
