5000 Fees in Year.

Girard Oct. 3.-The divorce proc
tor position of County Attorney A. B..
Keeler's business this year will add
5000 to his salary. This is the
amount which the commissioners al
lowed at a recent meeting. 1t Will
be paid quarterly in 1925 sums.
Every time a divorce suit is filed
in district court the applicant is re-
quired to deposit $40 for the proctor's
fee. The county collects this sum-
The amount which is paid to the proc
tor is figured on the previous year s
divorce business, and that amount is
allowed by the commissioners. For
instance, the number of divorces filed
thus far m 1913 equals the total di
vorce business of 1912. Next year the
sum will be computed on the number
of divorces filed this year.

HOUSE OF DEATH ADDS THREE TO
 FATALITY LIST

Chicago, March 19.-The tragic ex- fstence of the House of Death at 1859 Wentworth avenue closed early today with it's destruction by an in eendiary fire in which three lives were lost.
 Frank Puntel1a and his brother-in- law, Joseph Cavalieri, escaped with severe burns by jumping from a sec ond story window but Mrs. Purte1la and her daughters, aged and 5 years, perished in the flames.
 The house gained it's name in the neigh borhood because of the fatalities which have occurred within it during the last 10 years.
 A decade ago Jaeon Warner opened a meat market in the place. Within 8 short space of time his entire family died and Warner committed suicide. Warmers clerk, Fred Kunz, took the market but shortly afterward his little daughter was sca1ded to death in a pickIing vat and a week after this ac- cident Kunz was found dead under mysterious circumstances The next tenant was man of the name of Strauss who was murdered in the house. A few weeks after that an un- Identified Italian crawIed under the porch of the place and committed sui eide.

Isn't 1t known, MT. President, that every time you load and unload an

Do you suppose 1t would carry to a further tide water point so that it
 might be shipped via New London?
 Now let us reverse the incoming cargo, whence will it go? Is New London and it's environments to ab- sorb it or is it to be reloaded at that port for distribution at New York and again reloaded for the west, en route to Albany, Philadelphia or Baltimore? I take these divergent points as an i1- 1ustration of various transits neces- Sary for their conduct.
 Bridgeport collects several hundred thousand dollars on her imports. New London doesn't collect $500 per an num-. If she had the docks of Liv- erpooI, her geographical position would initiate against her as a port, with a population of 20, ,0OO people. At Galveston there are steamers carry ing cotton to Liverpool because they have local cargo, at Baltimore and Philadelphia, at New York and Bos- ton.

 higher rate by rail, leaving empty freight cars at New London, or will those empty cars loiter there for an incoming cargo to be despatched to the great metropolis of the New World? rather than by ship.
 Truth is the intellectual wealth of the world, it never perishes until the human race has no further need for it in particular instance. Fiction con trary to fact may be distorted, and ar ranged in fantastic kaIeidtscopic styles that are alluring to behold, but, alas! they are not to be verified, not to be confirmed.

They have under sur vefdlance a bachelor about 40 years of age who. 20 years ago, was a priest in Tais man 2. #, is saIde became a teach CT of 1oreign languages in Chicago among society women and was later sent to the penitentiary for having in his possession counterfeit money. IA4tIe black hand activity was re- corded here during his imprisonment, but since he has regained his freedom a number of bombs have been expIod- ed.
 Detectives claim to have learned that the man is the owner of a mac aroni factory here and that he is an official in at least two local banks be- sides owning three disorderly resorts It is alleged that the man uses his influence in the banks to single out those who should contribute to the black hand society and withdrawal of funds indicates to him that the de- mands made by his lieutenants will be met
 Christopher P. Davidson, now in the penftentiary at Columbus, O., is said to have made a statement that for several years he was ''penman'' for the former priest.
