DENIED VISIT TO WIFE,
HUSBAND STAYS THREE
Alvin Roehr's Crime Followed
by Discovery of His Body
Hanging From Tree.

SHEBOYGAN, Wis, October 2S-Alvin
Roehr, a young farmer Of Plymouth, shot
and killed his father -in-law, Philip j.
OFT; Mrs. OFT and Mrs. Otis father, Fred
Haut, aged eighty, when he was refused
permission to see his wife, with whom he
had not been living.
Roehr's body was found this forenoon
hanging to tree in the woods about a
tragedy. 1t is supposed that the assas-
sin. fearing summary action at the hands
of posse, committed suicide.
Mrs. Roehr and her baby escaped by
hiding for three hours.
News of the triple tragedy reached here
this forenoon.
About year and a half ago Roehr
married Otis daughter. They did not get
along peaceably and Mrs. Roehr some
time ago took her six-month-old baby
and returned to her fathers house. just
across the road. She then began suit for
divorce. Roehr started suit for the re-
covery of the child, but failed.
Roehr Denied Admission.
Late yesterday afternoon Roehr went
to his father-in-law's home and de-
manded to see his wife The grandfather
answered the door. but denied the young
man admittance. Roehr went back to
his home, but returned in ten minutes
with a shotgun and as the grandfather,
Fred Haut. went to the dairy shed, Roehr
shot and killed him instantly. Mr.. OFT
and his wife came out of the door and
Roehr shot them also. both shots enter
ing the breast and killing them.
Then he entered the house in search
of his wife. She had heard him and had
taken her baby and hidden in chimney
cupboard. where she stayed for three
hours. Finally she slipped out and gave

Juvenile Witness of Tragedy.

A witness to the crime was the four
year-old adopted son Of OFT. who was at
the milk shed. Thinking the entire fam

hid in bed, where he was found later.
Roehr's father committed suicide about
five years ago. OFT was one of the most
prominent farmers and stock raisers in
this county.

Gave Up Work Last June.

Ill health required Vice President Sher-
man to suspend the performance of his
duties as the presiding officer of the
Senate early in June. At that time he
asked the Senate to choose a presiding
officer for about two months so that he
could enjoy entire rest
When that period was up Mr. Sherman
found himself unable to return to the
Senate. and his absence continued until
the end of the protracted session at the
end of August.
Close friends of the Vice President
have been worried about his health
throughout the entire summer. and re-
ports from those with him did not re-
assure them. His usual ruddy COM
plexion and twinkling eyes. when he
left Washington during the early sum-
mer, gave no indication that he was
ill. But his close friends felt then
that absolute rest was necessary.

Want to Effect Junction.

The Greek plan is clearly to effect a
junction of the Greek armies and then
march on Saloniki- The Greek crown
princes army is now within striking dis
tauce of that fortress.
In the first place, of course. the
Greeks mus: sever communications be-
tween Monastir and Saloniki, and they
might send force against the former

The Montenegrins, hampered by rain
and the stubborn resistance of the
Turks. are still hammering away ct
Tarakosch and Scutari.
The Bulgarians Servians and Monte
negrins have taken since the beginning
of the campaign a total of 10000
prisoners. and 250 field guns, according

All the invaders of Turkish territory
are establishing civil administrations in

taken further evidence that they
have no intention of giving up any of
the conquered territory without a

UTICA, n. ". October cs-Alarming
rumors regarding the condition of Vice
President Sherman Influenced his physi-
clan, DR.. F. n. Peck, to issue the follow
ing bulletin today:
"Vice President Sherman is a very i'll
man. although the reports in circulation
during the night were greatly exaggerat.
ed. Mr.. Sherman was sitting up yester.
day. and he walked about the house from
room to room. His condition is bad, 1,
is true, but 1 do not apprehend any i'm

Condition Causes Apprehension.
1t was reported from the residence OF
Vice President Sherman this afternoon
that his condition remains such as tC
cause apprehension. and that he does not
respond as readily as heretofore to the
remedies that are given him.
Close friends of Mr.. Sherman admit
that his condition is very serious and
that he has had sinking spells at times
during the summer. 1t was stated early
today that he was slightly improved. but
DIR. Peck, nevertheless, was in frequen,
telephone consultation with DR.. Theodore
G. Janeway of New York.
The Vice President realizes the pre-.
cariouS nature of his illness and some
time ago agreed not to undertake any
campaign work or other duties that
would tax his strength.

Achievements of Servians.

The dispatch says, too, that the Turks
have recaptured Maras from the Bulgar-
ians. In view of the big events in the
eastern region OF the theater of war the
achievements of the Servian army have
been somewhat lost sight Of The Ser

much. are now in possession of virtually
the whole of old Servia, and. in conjunc-

The Greek army, too. is making steady
Roadway. Its capture of Pentepigedia is
considered OF the utmost importance, for
with Pentepigedia in Greek hands the
whole country to the north is easily ac-
cesSible TO the advance of the Greek
army, and the way also is left open TO
Janina, the Turkish base in the far west
ern region.

Is it not surprising, therefore. that
we are willing to intrust the expendi-

so essential to our welfare and even
our happiness to 100000 men, most Of

In order to have skilled supervision
the technical training and experience
OF the highway engineer are necessary.
There is a popular idea prevailing IN
some sections that engineers are not
essential to road improvement. This,
however, Is a very erroneous idea. An
engineer, by reason Of his technical
knowledge, can secure the easiest
grade for a roadway consistent with
the traffic for which it is designed. BY
determining the drainage areas he is
able to compute the proper size for
