WOMAN CONFIDENT
 QUICK ACQU|TTAL
Mrs. Augusta Dietz Will Go on Trial March Charged With Murder
 of Her Husband.

CHICAGO, Feb 28.-The trial of Mrs. Augusta Dietz will commence March g, the date having been set today by the trial judge. The case was called February g, but the at 1orneys for the government asked for il postponement and the date was ;et today as March g.
 The accused woman is confident of speedy acquittal. She is charged with the murder of her husband, George Dietz, wealthy tailor and art con-
 oisseur. George Nurnburg, harness inaEufacturer, and her alleged affin- ily, who is to be tried immediately after the case against Mrs. Dietz IS disposed of, predicted today that the widow will be freed and that the in lictment against him will then be nolle pressed.
 The Detz murder was one of the most batlling confronting the Chi caso police for many months. Dletz, the proprietor of exclusive ladies tai lCring establishments, was found dead il. bed on the morning of April II, 1913, his skull crushed by a blow from n heavy hammer, that lay. smeared with blood, at the side of the bed. Across the body was a huge sheet of lJ, Stnnni1ad on this with a rubber die, Was a rudely composed letter. written in broken English. The writer complain ed that DietZ had "wronged my little girl" and that the author of the letter had taken this means of revenge.
 A few days after the investigation vas started, detectives gave up the search for the letter writer and an nounced they were satisfied that the sheet of paper and its accusation were placed across Dietz's body to throw them off the trail. At about this time ;he detectives learned that a short time previous to his death, pietz had employed private detectives to watch lis wife and these detectives had re lorted to him an alleged friendliness for Nurnburs.
 Nurnburg confessed the affinity part l;e had played, but Mrs. Dietz con- .istently denied the stories told by detectives. Both the widow and Nurn- burg were indicted Their trial was delayed several times. until Mrs. Dietz insisted that she face the accusations in court Both she and Nurnburg have been at liberty under bail. The states case is purely circumstantial. The alleged relations between Mrs. Dietz and Nurnburg will be used in an argument to show a possible mo

CONFEREES UNABLE
 REACH AGREEMENT
Senators Demand Bond Issue Wh'le House In Favor of Direct Appro-
 priation.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-The con- ferees seem deadlocked on the mat ter of the bond issue to cover the ex- pense of the building of the Alaska government railroad and also the amount of money to be appropriated. The senators, led by Senator Cham berlain, are insistent that the amount should be $4O,OOO,0O0, while the House conferees are equally determ- ined that it shall not exceed $35,- OOO,OOO, which they assert is plenty to build all the roads outlined by the Alaska Railroad Commission.
 The senators are still determined that the bond issue is the best, al though yesterday it was intimated that the committee was not inclined to fight regarding bow the money should be raised.
 Yesterdays debate in the commit, tee was lengthy and the differences between the opposing sides were hard to conciliate It was at one time thought the committee would accept the plan of direct appropriation as advocated by the House members and cut the amount to $35 100000. The committee will make it's report late Monday according to the present out look

PLAN
 10 FIGHT QUACks
Too Many of Them Says the Federa-- tion of State Medical Boards
 Want Stringent Laws.

CHICAGO, Feb. A nation wide program to prevent an on-coming race of "quack doctors" Was outlined here today when the Federal on of State Medical Boards of the United States went into session. The federation is striving to bring about uniform leg islation and 2 uniform. minimum, educational standard, both prelimi- nary and professional for all appli- cine.
 Eminent physicians, representing all branches of the healing art, from the homeopaths to the eclectics and men tai healers, were ready to present their diagnoses of "ailing" sections of the various state laws governing the requirements for securing a phy sician's certificate, with recomm"n dation for the proper "dose" to be administered to effect a cure.
 Most state boards are obliged tc recognize all of the medical collc in their own state whether they are good or bad schools" said Otto V. Huffman, secretary-treasurer of the New York Medical Board. "The American Medical Associations list of medical schools is not sufficient be cause it considers acceptable some schools that are not acceptable to some of the high standard state med ical boards.
 "The federation Is on record as favoring the establishment of uni form laws that shall require stand ard high school education before person may take up the study of med icine, four years course in the study of medicine, and medical col leges to have abundant hospital and dispensary connections for giving the necessary practical experience.
 At present there is heterogen- eous lot of laws in the country rela- tive to the practice of medicine and the requirements in no two states are exactly alike. Very few state boards have facilities for passing upon the credentials of the applicants for en- trance to the medical licensing ex- aminations. The credentials as to the high school requirements should be passed upon by one thoroughly famil- far with high schools.
 When the federation's standard goes into effect it will be impossible for anyone to be graduated from medical college before he reaches the age of. 22. This is really entirely too low standard but it will be a great advance. It is not a question of few CT doctors, but better doctors.
 "The greatest abuse today is loop hole that may be found in the laws and regulations of nearly all state boards which provide that applicants for a license to practice shall furnish a credential of having passed such and such an education or its equiva- lent This word equivalent provides the loop hole. An applicant may have been examined by anybody anywhere, and furnished certificate saying that he has passed an examination which is the equivalent of the educational standard required. This abuse must be corrected"

THEY LIKE SANE FOURTH"
New York Firemen Heartily In Favor
of Reformed Holiday. A.

New York Firemen Heartily In Favor
of Reformed Holiday.
Making the Fourth safe and sane
has eliminated the day most dreaded
by the members of the fire depart
ment," declared a battalion chief.
1.-THE careless use of f~irecrackers and
revolvers in the daytime used to keep
the department on the alert from SUI
rise TO sunset. The horses were fret
full and nervous, the men were irrita-
BILE, all because they feared that the
gong would pound out a station at
any moment.
"And they we're justified In being
anxious, for before the creation of. the
safe and SAINT Fourth alarms sounded
SO often that in some houses the
horses were kept hitched up all day.
Many Of the fires in the daytime were
started by ~irecrackers In cellars and
similar places and caused great dam
age because they were able to attain
a good start before being discovered.
1.-THE coming of night increased the
work and worries of the department.
Darkness found the men and horses
fatigued after a busy day. but there
was no rest for them. AS a matter Of
fact, the work increased. Roman can
dies in the hands of careless people
were shot through open windows into
rooms, setting fire to lace curtains and
other furnishings. Sometimes the fires
were attended to Immediately, and In
other cases they smoldered and then
burst into flames hours AFTER when
most Of the tenants In other apart
ments had retired for the night You
can appreciate the danger caused by
the careless handling Of such fireworks.
Pinwheels and s~kyrockets caused a
large number OF fires, particularly the
latter.
I'm some neighborhoods the engines
were on the run from s to 70 p. m.
The majority Of the fires were small
affairs, but they had to be attended
to. The men and horses were all in,
but it was wonderful the amount OF
endurance and stamina the men and
beasts displayed In sticking to their
work. Toward the latter part Of the
evening the horses had to walk to the
fires. They were too tired to trot.
sThe adoption Of the safe and sane
Fourth has caused many persons to
dispense with the use of ~irecrackers
and fireworks. They believe in cele-
brating the day in pursuits less dan
gerous, but furnishing more amuse-
ment. You can bet the members OF
the fire department are glad that the
people are using fewer fireworks"
