MANIAC BLOWS UP
HOUSE, SLAYlNG
CHILD AND SELF
Uses Dynamite to Wreck Home
When Wife Refuses to Be
ReCOnciled.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Sept. 19.-
Carefully selecting the places where
he believed the most damage would
be done, Mack Hurst, fifty years old,
a stone mason, early today blew up
himself and his seventeen-year-o -old
daughter, Maude, and injuring two
other children and stunning his wife.
The injured: Fannie Hurst, thirteen.
one leg broken and body lacerated; /;
Elizabeth Hurst, six, severely cut and
bruised; Mrs Rena Hurst, 49, stunned
by explosion.
Hurst had been separated from his
wife for six weeks and yesterday she
refused to take him back. 1t Is be-
lieved that he then, in fit of insan-
ty, determined to wipe out the entire
family consisting of his wife and eight
children.
The dead girl met the fate intended
for her mother and the fact that they
had changed beds for the night cost
the daughter her life. Hurst, after
approaching stealthily in the dark
ness, placing a stick of dynamite
under each of the three beds in the
house, tied two sticks to his own
body, crowled into the bed which he
had formerly occupied with his wife,
but which last night contained the
three daughters, Maude, Fannie and
Elizabeth.
Fannie spoke TO her father. Lay
STILL" Hurst replied. we will all die
together"
The noise of the explosion awoke
the whole city Police and firemen
fastened to the scene and at once
began a search of the ruins. The
bodies of Hurst and his dead daugh-
ter were found in a mass of debris
at the rear of the home.
The other two daughters were in
another part of the ruins. Both were
unconscious and 1t was some time
before they were revived. Neither
was able to tell anything of the
occurrence
The shock of the explosion wrecked
the house and was felt in the whole
immediate neighborhood. Every pane
of glass for a block around was
broken and other minor damage done
homes in the immediate vicinity.

POLICE DECLARE
!. SLAYER PLANNED
OTHER MURDERS
Schmidt's Photographs of
Death Certificates Reveal Plot
for Easy Burial.
FAKE PRIEST AND MURET
NOW SAID TO BE COUSINS
Finger-Prints Sent to Germany.
Suspect Murder of An
other Woman.

NEW YORK, Sept 19-Detectives
delving further into the past of Hans
Schmidt, the priest who murdered
Anna Aumuller. sought today to
fathom what was in his mind last
April when he photographed the
death certificate of Robert Smith, one
of his parishioners.
Photographs of this certificate and
of blank forms issued by the Board of
Health were found in Schmidt's trunk.
The find led the police to believe that
the priest either was making prep
arations then to dispose of the Au-
muller girl or planned other murders
on wholesale scale. They ques-
toned him about this certificate to-
day, but his answers gave them little
information. The priest has evlnced
tendency lately to answer all ques
tions with the declaration that he
was directed in his acts "by God and
Abraham
To the belief that Schmidt planned
other murders the police are more in
clined than TO the opinion that he was
laying plans last April to be rid of
the Aumuller girl. They say that
skilled forger like the prisoner would
have been able to have the bodies of
victims buried in any cemetery by
filing out counterfeit burial blanks
and forging the signatures. They be-
lieve that Schmidt caused the blanks
to be photographed in order to obtain
exact copies so that he might have
duplicates struck off in blank In
| spector Faurot announced today that
he was looking for another woman in
| the case. He gave no details of what
her connection with the matter might
| be.
Raling over the past of Ernest
| Muret, the dentist friend of Schmidt
| implicated with Schmidt in counter
feiting operations, Faurot. head of
| the detective bureau, had this to say:
IT have learned that DR.. Muret was
| in Chicago at the time of the investi-
cation into the life of Johann Hoch,
the Blue Beard of Chicago, in 1905.
Hoch was arrested In that year, after.
It was charged. he had killed eighteen
Of his wives. There was report that
the number OF wives would reach
| fifty"
The only other woman whose name
has thus far<ebeen associated with
Schmidt is known SIS Helen Green.

MAYOR GAYNOR'S
BODY TAKEN FROM
SHIP TO HIS HOME
Escorted from the Lusitania by
Committee and a Hundred
Mounted Policemen.

NEW YORK, Sept. 19.-The body of
William j. Gaynor, mayor of New
York, VINO died at sea September 10,
lay today in the privacy of his
Brooklyn home.
In drizzling rain it was lowered
at A O'Clock this morning from the
high decks of the liver Lusitania to
the city's boat Correction. Through
mist that lay heavy over the har
bor the Correction steamed an hour
and a half later to pier A at the Bat
terry There a picked squad of 100
police, who had stood all night in the
rain, formed it's escort to Brooklyn.
The funeral ship glided into the
harbor and came TO anchor at Quar-
antine at 1:20 O'Clock this morning,
the American flag at her stern droop-
ing at half-mast.
A dozen stalwart sailors carried
the body in its heavy lead casket
from the mortuary chapel to the
deck The carpet of flowers under
which it lay was removed, and only
the great American flag placed over
the casket at Liverpool covered it as
a windlass lowered it slowly twenty
five feet down an inclined plane to
the deck of the Correction.
Aboard the smaller boat the body
was taken to a heavily -draped cata-
falque in the centre of the upper
deck. on which rested a coffin. The
body was placed in the coffin and the
lid closed. A wreath and a branch
of palms were placed above it. The

SMITH AIDS BANK
PROBERS, THOUGH
NOT UNDER BOND
Discovery Of Strange Irregular
ity Is Made by Depositors'
Protective Association.

A glimer of grim humor entered
into the looted Roseville Trust Com
pany tangle today.
The Depositors' Protective Asso
citation unearthed the fact that Ray
mond E. Smith. the alleged bank
wrecker. who is now acting as a
special volunteer advisor to the bank
examiners. has no bond.
Everyone else who has access to
the books and papers of the trust
company is heavily bonded. l.. K.
Vredenburgh. the deputy commits
sioner. who is in charge of the ex-
animation is under bond. So are
all the examiners. But Smith, who
is working with them in the bank,
has absolutely no bond at all.
The heads of the Depositors' Pro
tective Association announced that
they would take the matter 1mme-
diately before Prosecutor Louis
Hood
why, this is the funniest banking
farce that has ever ben staged" said
Henry b. Tower. speaking for the as
sociation. "If it wasn't so vttally
important to the depositors we could
sit down and laugh at 1t.
"The National Surety Company
SAYS that Smiths old bond of $4,000
as secretary and treasurer of the
trust company, automatically termi-
mated when the bank was taken over
by the State authorities His bail
bond of $4,000 would go to the coun-
ty if he should skip, and it in no
ways protects the bank.
Nov. what is the situation? This
alleged absconder who is supposed to
be responsible for a shortage in the
hundred thousands, cody surrenders
a month after he got away
His purpose in surrendering. so ne
saws is to go into the bank and prove
ro the poor, misguided bank exam
iners that they are quite mistaken
about the deficit. He will prove to
them very quickly that there Is no
shortage whatever.
"The bank examiners. holding very
responsibie positions and handling
large sums of money. are. of course,
heavily bonded. Smith goes into the
bank to help them. But despite the
fact that a charge of bank-wrecklng
hangs over him. he doesn't have to
put up any bond.

dence against Smith and, possibly,

sapo allow a man of Smiths calibre.
a man with long jail term hanging
over his head, the liberty to get into
the bank at all is a farce. He is
admittedly a desperate man. He has
no particular reason to fear detec-
tives, because he walked out of the
bank once before on the fiimsy ex-
cuse that he was going out to break
fast. escaped without the least
trouble and successfully eluded dozens
of detectives. No one has any rea-
son to trust to the sincerity of his
motives. Yet this man is allowed to
participate in the investigation with,

EXAMINATIONS FOR
F|REMEN PUT BACK
Civil Service Commission
Learns Its Order Would Grip
pie Newark Department.

Jus what the Civil Service Commits
sion had in mind when it made its
original plans for holding a competi-
tive examination for promotions in
the Newark fire department is not so
clear as is the second-thought con-
clusion reached today The commits
sioners have a better notion of local
conditions now and also of the i'm
practicability of carrying earlier
ideas to execution without seriously
crippling the fire department during
the period covered by the examina-
tions.
So examinations set down for next
Tuesday will not take place as
scheduled, and when they are held
they will be conducted with due re-
gard for the purposes that fire de-
partment is for and because of which
Newark keeps so many firemen in its
employ. They will be held on sepa-
rate days-Monday and Wednesday
of next week. Tuesday (primary day.
will be eliminated altogether
The change in plans was brought
about in this way: Chief Engineer
Paul j. Moore, returning from his va
cation. found quite some literature on
his desk. Much of it was about an
examination of firemen for promotion
to Heutenancies and lieutenants to
captaincies. After looking over the
lists the chief engineer sent for Dep
uty Chief McDermitt, who had been
acting chief during Moore's absence,
and the two had pleasant chat over
the situation.
Moore got out his pad and pencil
and proceeded to make calculations.
He found that if arrangements re-
mained unchanged 119 men would
have to be granted leaves of absence
at one time, to take the examination.
With this number off and other men
on vacations and days off, the fire
fighting force would be decimated TO
dangerous degree. Furthermore,
there would be necessary a large
amount of shifting and detailing of
men from company to company to
maintain the minimum quota of five
men to each.
The list of competitors showed as
many as eight men from a single
company. Number 10 engine, and nu-
merous other companies would be in
almost as bad a plight. As the full
working quota of hook and ladder and
engine companies average ten or
eleven men, including officers. it can
easily be imagined what a company
working force would look like. with
one or two men on meal trick sim
lutaneously
Chief Moore took the matter up
with Commissioner Alexander H.
Fordyce at the latters office in the
City Hall this morning. Gardner
Colby, secretary and chief examiner
of the Civil Service Board. was pres
ent. The chief laid the case before
them and both thoroughly agreed
that the chief was right in holding
that a change should be made They
did not hesitate long before deciding
that one-half of the number of first
grade firemen aspiring to Lieutenant
cies would be required to take the
examination next Monday. and that
the remainder, with all lieutenants
seeking captaincies. will have We'd
nesday for their turn.
The chief pointed out that as Tues
day was primary day and as doubt
less the men would like to vote. 1t

If examinations were held on Tues
day the men taking them would be
so tied up that they could not get
