AREbACH IS FOUND
 GUILTY OF MURDER Killed Companion While
 Hunting in Michigan APPEAL TO BE TAKEN
Fisher. Arebach's Victim, Had Life In- sured for S250,0O0 and This Is Believed to Have Been Mo
 tive for the Crime

Baldwin, Mich, December S.-A jury in the circuit court today declared O. M. Arebach guilty of first degree murder for the shooting of his partner. Harry Fisher, Chicago business man. Fisher was killed in the woods near here last September while the two men were on hunting trip.
 The case was gwen to the jury Sat urday evening. and when the verdict was announced at 5:9O this morning, only the prisoner, his counsel, court attend- ants and Judge Charles A. Withey were in the court room.
 Arebach heard the verdict in silence. Sentence will be pronounced Monday.
 Attorney Spencer l.. Adams, Arebach's 8 counsel, gave notice of appeal to the supreme court
 The trial began last Monday. covering only six days. All the evidence intro duced by the state was circumstantial there being no witnesses of the shoot ing.
 Fisher, his wife and children and Are bach came here late last summer, taking up their residence on fruit farm which Fisher recently had purchased.
 On the morning of September 19 the two men went into the woods to hunt part ridges. A short time afterward Arebach rushed into neighbours farmhouse and reported that Fisher had been acciden- tally shot. Fishers body was carried to an undertaker's establishment at this place, and, and, according to evidence given at the trial, both Mrs. Fisher and Arebach endeavored to have it shipped to Iowa without the formality of a coroners inquest. The inquest took place, however, and Arebach was held responst- ble for the shooting.
 According to Arebach's story, while passing through the woods he stopped to roll cigarette standing his fife against stump The weapon aeciden- tally fell and was discharged, the bullet passing through Fishers body.
 Evidence at the trial tended to dis prove this contention, it being shown that the bullet passed through the body in a direction different from that which would be taken by a missile fired by rifle lying on the ground. It was also that the weapon could not be discharged in the manner claimed by Arebach.
 Fishers body was insured for about

Chicago, December S-No purse snatcher tried to rob City Detective Otto R. Zeabel of the gold mesh bag dangling temptingly from his wrist. as the officer, disguised as woman walked chicago's streets today, but many men tried to flirt with him. zea- bel tottered into the Sufnmerdale po- lice station this afternon and held out his feet for some one to take off his shoes.

 I've walked 5 miles and think I'm crippled for life." he said 'Its terri ble to have a lot of 'freshies' on street corners trying to flirt with you. then want to smash one of them, but are not able to do it because you are clamped into pair of corsets.
 Not aspurse snatcher to show for it either. I walked slowly past alleys and stood in front of windows and held that gold bag under tough guys noses and none of them would nibbIe at it.. No more of this corset cop business for me-"

THREE BIZ BILLS
 ARE INSISTED UPON Seldom Has Government Undertaken a Task as
 Large as Present One


 London, December s.-Notwithstand- ing the delay caused by it's temporary effect on the financial provisions of the home rule bill. the government has de- eided to persist in it's programme and to pass through the house of commons at this session the three big bills pro- viding home rule for Ireland, the discs tablishment of the church in Wales and the reform of the franchise, the prin- cipal clause of which aims at putting an end to plural voting.
 The bill to deal with those unfortu- hates suffering from mental deficiency and other measures of a purely depart mental character will be dropped.
 Seldom has government undertaken such task as that involved in the passage during one session of three such controversial bills. and the present government has less than half year in which to accomplish it. Parliament must rise before March 90. the end of the governmental financial year Be- fore the temporary defeat which caused a delay of over a week the govern ment schedule provided for getting rid of the home rule bill, so far as the house of commons is concerned be- fore Christmas Now 1t will be after Christmas before the bill reaches the house of lords. They are not likely to waste much time over 1t and when they have thrown it out, as they cer- tainly will. parliament could be pro- rogued were it not for Welsh disestab- lishment and the franchise bill. The government, however, have pledged themselves to the Welsh liberals. who have been getting rather restless under the long delay to pass the church bill at this session and as for the franchise Dill, the members of the government as well as every liberal in the coun- try, is anxious to see 1t become a law, believing that the repeal of plural yot- ing and an extension of the franchise will be all to their benefit when it comes to a general election. To get all these things before their term expires the bills must be passed this session.
 Welsh dsestablishment and franchise reform will, like home rule, be thrown out by the lords. and, under the par liament act which the liberals passed last year. they must be passed again twice. in new sessions, before they be- come law, despite the veto of the house of lords. As there must be an election in 1915, the government has just time enough to accomplish this, always on the understanding that they can hold. together that long. EFs

Poisoned LOzenges
n The London Chronicle

From the London Chronicle.
 Milan.-Criminals or madmen, so far untraced, have been busy during the past few days in sending round to house pro- prietors in this city thousands of pois- oned lozenges and capsules, in the form of sample advertisements purporting to be an infallible cure for all kinds of stom- ach troubles
 Many very serious cases of poisoning have followed. Among others the propri- etress of the house where reside is lying at the point of death tonight, and the physicians who have watched continually at her bedside for 96 hours, despair of saving her life.
 Over 2000 of these samples have been collected by the police, and on examina- tion by the municipal analyst they have been found to contain cyanide of potas- sium and metallic salts The outrages are supposed to be an abomnable form of revenge on local owners of property for the recent heavy rises in house rent.

London, December S.-Owing to the re- fusal of the governor of Scutari to ac- oept notification of the armistioe. com municated through the German minister, bostilities continue, according to Get tinje dispatch to the Times.
