Threatens His Son.
They thought he had shot himself,
but he stepped into the dining room
and called to Christian, the oldest
boy.
Get my pay at Studebaker's," he
said. Sell whatever you like of the
rest of my belongings and keep the
money. / am going to kill myself

the father pointed the weapon at his
son and threatened to "give him the
first bullet" He stepped into the
darkness and fired two shots that will
doubtless result in his death.

Following Fathers Example
South Bend Ma Sends
Bullet Into His Brair,

Following in the footsteps of his
father who years ago committed sui
eide in Germany, Rudolph LANCER,
11O9 5. Franklin ST. sent a bullet in
u his brain Thursday night and to-
day is in EpwOrth hospital where au-
thorities said he is likely to die from
the wound
A taste for high living which could
not be satisfied by his poor mans in
come was the cause attributed to
Langer'S attempt at suicide by Mrs
LANCER, the wife. LANCER dissipated
a small fortune left by his father
and had come to America to retrieve
is fortune. Discouraged by his in
ability to forge ahead, ne finally de-
cided to end il all as his father had
done before him.
Another curious coincidence Is the
fact that the elder LANCER was Al
years old when he took his own life
LANCER is also AS,
According To Mrs. LANCER the
shooting was the ending to a day OF
carousing in a Chaplin st. saloon
LANCER left early in the morning, ac-
cording to the story of Mrs LANCER
and said that he would be gone all
day. His little boy, Frank, went aft
er him at noon, but was unable to
persuade him 10 come home. Mrs

BRITISH DECLARE
RESULTS IN SOUTH
AND NORTH GOOD
Press Bureau Says Government
is Satisfied" With Progress
of ExpeditiOnary Force on
Continent.

LONDON, oct 23-"In both the
northern and southern theaters Of
war, the results attained by the al
lies have been entirely satisfactory" "
SAYS an official announcement issued
by the government press bureau to-
day This announcement takes the
form of a supplemental narrative
dealing with the progress OF the
British expeditiOnary army upon the
continent up to Oct. Is. 1t says:
Since the fighting on the Marne
there has been a gradual extension
lA1rthwards. This has been one OF the
chief features of the campaign in
France and until recently was car
ried out by French alone. During the
past few days the allied troops nave
been enga ged along the Belgian
border as well as along the Aisne.
In the former sphere the allied
forces extend south from Nieuport
on the coast of the North sea In
both spheres the results attained
have been entirely satisfactory.
Maintain Pressure.
"In the southern sphere where we
have been engaged our right wing
has been maintaining its pressure
without actually moving forward.
while in the northern sphere our left
wing has advanced considerable dis
tance in the face of strong opposl-
ton.
"Along the Aisne. since the repulse
inflicted upon the Germans on the
10th and 11th, there has been no
serious fighting There has been less
artillery firing than usual. on the
nights Of the 18th and l4th, the
enemy commenced an attack when
was not pushed vigorously and which
might be considered more Of dem
tical events continued until the 18th.
The position Of the enemy remained
practically unchanged during this
I'm the north the fighting has
mainly been of a preparatory ma
ture."
(Here the writer gives a descrip-
ton OF the topography of the country
in northeastern France and along the
coast Of Belgium).
Mist Hampers Aerial Scouts.
Continuing the narrative says:
1--WE gained ground The misty
weather hampered aerial scouting
and at times rendered aerial and ar
tiuery cooperation impossible. The
enemy has been making every effort
to delay our progress and give time
to forces behind the front to perfect
their arrangements. In general
way they took advantage OF every or
OF the ground 10 conceal themselVes
and their artillery. During our ad-
vance We inflicted considerable loss
on the German detachments Operat-
ing along their front and took many
prisoners. The prisoners showed the
greatest surprise at finding British
forces in that region
The statement confirms the report
Of the death Of Prince Maximillian Of
Hesse, 201year-old nephew OF En-
peror William. in northern France.

SAYS CHILDREN SHOULD
BE KEPT OFF HIGHWAYS
Coroner Says Children in West End
Endanger Own LiveS-ExOn-
crates KOrpal.

Declaring that too many children
were allowed to play in the street in
the west section of the city TO make
their general safety assured. Coroner
T. ]. Swantz rendered a verdict OF
accidental death in the case of little
Joseph Trudzinski, All Haley ST., who
was run down and killed by an auto
mobile Wednesday afternoon.
The machine was driven by @. V.
kOrpal, proprietor of clothing store
on w. Division St That he was in
no way to blame for the fatal accident
was the assertion of Coroner Swantz
Friday morning at the completion OF
the inquest at which some nine wit
nesses were examined.
"A public playground in the vicinity
OF w. Division ST." saiu the coroner,
would do away 10 a great extent 10
the number of fatal accidents which
have occurred in that portion of the
city. There are more children in that
end of town than in all other districts
put together and their mothers allow
them TO run at large on the streets.
In this case the boy ran out from a
group OF his companions and caught
hold OF the fender of Korpals ma
chine. From there he jumped off and
ran directly in front of the machine.
When he slipped and fell the machine
passed over him"

WOMAN s STORY
Mrs. Florence Carman Sticks to
Main Points of Her Narra-
tive During CrOSS-Examina-
tion-MakeS Impression.

MINEOLA, y. y, oct. %. - Mrs.
Florence c. Carman. accused of the
murder of Mrs. Louise Bailey in Free
port on June 80, last, remained un-
shaken and smiling throughout a
gruelling cross-examination today. She
maintained her innocence throughout
and declared that she was upstairs
in her room when Mrs. Bailey was
shot to death in DR.. Carmans office.
Mrs Carman seemed TO make a
deep impression on the jury and all,
with the exception OF Frank d.
Mount. juror number three, paid the
most scruplous interest to her story
and never took their eyes off her face.
Mount seldom glanced at the witness
and seemed to take little interest in
her story.
Mrs. Carman testified that women
had told her that her husband was
devil" a bit of testimony that
seemed very amusing to the doctor.
Child Goes on Stand.
Elizabeth Carman followed her
mother on the stand.
The child'S examination was brief.
Little Elizabeth testified that she had
heard the fatal shot and that she had
seen her mother in her room. After
leaving the stand Elizabeth walked
down TO her mother and kissed her.
Mrs. Carman then broken down for
the first time. Throwing her smiling
reserve to the winds she put her
arms around her daughter and began
to sob. BY this time there were few
dry eyes IN the courtroom.
AS Mrs. Carman was holding her
daughter in her arms a number OF
jurors looked at them curiOusly.
When the defendant came into
court this morning she kissed her
mother and niece and then entered
into earnest conference with her
counsel. She was dressed in the same
blue tailored suit. and wore the same
black plush hat.
Dist Atty. Smith began his cross
examination in a very low and re-
spectful tone as soon as Mrs. Carman
was called to the witness stand
Q-Mrs. Carman, you said you
were suspicious OF your husband?

Among other improvements the

fans or blowers to carry all sawdust
