SCHMIDT TELLS WHY HE KEPT
 DEATH BLANKS

New York. Sept. 2O-A1I the death certificates issued for months past, running into the thousands in num- Der, were examined. today, to deter mine whether they included any pa pers forged by Father Hans Schmidt to conceal the murder Of other per sons besides Anna Aunu1ler.
 Schmidt has confessed that he pre- pared these blank certificates for the purpose of accounting for the, death of persons hopelessly sick or crippled whom he meant to kill painlessIy for their own good. He denied, however, that he had put his plan into effect or that he had any victims besides Miss Aumuller.
 Revolvers found in the quarters of Schmidt and of Ernest A. Mulet, his friend, gave the detectives, today, ad- ditional reason to believe that the as- sociation between them was closer than they had admitted. The weap- ons are alike in nearly every detail. made by the same factory in Ger many and the ammunition with which they were loaded is identical. Muret says he bought his pistol eight years ago in Germany. The police believe Schmidt got his revolver at the same place and at about the same time.

New Jersey f1n- ished second with 1894. The Sadler match and all the others on yester- days program were shot in drizzling rains and mists that made the range a disagreeable place for onIookers, but the light was ideal for good rife work
 The second team from the United States marine corps won the Spencer si1houet match. Team members of one team would fire at silhouet figures on the ranges. When one was hit, a mem- Der of an opposing team was elimi- mated. The team whose figures re- mained standing last won the event. The United States infantry was sec ond, and the marine corps third team finished third.

Blame Police For Lights Not Working;
 Reports Not Made

Today special orders were issued to all policemen to watch more closely in the future for gas and gasoline lights which are not lighted at night All patrolmen are supposed to watch the street lights and report those not light ed. Therefore when the recent whole sale complaints were made at City Hall and Superintendent Nicolai Of the American Street Lighting company of Baltimore came to Bridgeport to in- vestigate, he went first to police lead quarters. When he looked over the complaint book there he found but few lights which citizens had complained were not lighted had been reported by the police.
 Supt. Nico1ia was convinced that many of the complaints were unwar- ranted and he hurried down to see Mayor Wilson and told him that the complaints of property owners were unwarranted because they were not registered by the police on the book at Headquarters.
 On further investigation it develop ed that the compIainants were right, however The lights have not been burning and the patrolmen have si1np- ly neglected to report them.
 why said one property owner who was in the Tax Assessors office to swear to his list this morning, T can show you streets in the East End where policeman never walks. Most of the gas lamps are on the side streets The lights are not lit but the police either do not notice them Or else they fail to report them"

NEW YORK MAN SEEKS
 LIGHT FROM OFFICIALS
 AS TO HIS REAL NAME

Is Kampfe Kampfe or is Kampfe Gilenkel? Is Kampfe married legal ly or has Gilenke1 got to go through his marriage ceremony again? This Is the puzzle which revolves in the mind of Fred Kampfe, as he lives in the bosom of his family, at 251 East 66tf1 street. New York city, and looks upon a trusting wife who may not be a wife at all. And 1t all came about because his mother, formerly Hen rietta Schweker, of this city, failed to tell him what his right name was before marriage.
 Today the Board of Health were ask ed to send the answer to the riddle that a complex situation might be untang1ed. As the bureau of vital statistics was closed when the com munication was transmitted to Town Clerk Thomas for e1ucidation, author itative information could not be sent Kampfe today.
 Possibly some of the Farmer read CTS may be able to recall the birth of Kampfe or GilenkaI whose letter reads as follows: Dear Sirs:-
 Kindly send me birth certificate as I would like to have my right name and get things strengthened out.
 When was a baby my father died and of course I was too young to un- derstand. My mother remarried and her second marriage name is Kampfe Her first marriage name is Gilenkel. Her maiden name is Schwenker.
 q am 34 years of age now, and am married the past five months; have not been living home for the past five years. Then after I got married my mother told me that my name is Gi- lenkel. On my papers I got Kampfe.. So I would like to know my right namo and set things strengthened out. My first fathers name was Henry. My mothers name is Henrietta. My step fathers name is Albert Rudolph.
 Thinking that this information will be sufficient and thanking you in ad- vance, that you send me my papers. remain,
 Yours respectfully,
