BROODING OVER
 WOMAN'S REPRIMAND
 DRIVES MAN CRAZY
Romance Which Had Divided Two Homes Ends In Death When Chef, Driven Insane, Wrecks Bloody Re venge.

Spring Green, Wis, August 15- A mad negro, armed with hand-ax, ended the romance of Namah Bonton Borthwick. formerly Mrs. Edwin H. Cheney of Oak Park. H., and Frank Lloyd Wright, wealthy Chicago archi- tect, with whom she has lived as a wife since 1911.
 Setting fire to the elaborate bunga- low built by Wright for Mrs. Borth- wick here after his arrangement from his wife, the negro stood outside and attempted to brain Mrs. Borthwick and eight other occupants of the building, members of the family and employees, as they fled from the flames. He ended Mrs. Borthwick's life and the lives of two others, prob ably fatally injuring three, and se- riously wounding the remainder.
 Mrs. Borthwick Is said 10 have repri- manded the man, Julian Carlton, chef in her kitchen, He brooded over this it is thought. and became Insane.
 Disappears After Killing
 carlton disappeared after the killing, but after a search of several hours had been made for him, reappeared and sur rendered. He was hurried into an au- tomobile and rushed to the Iowa county jail, 1S miles away

 The seriously injured are;
 William Weston. carpenter. Mrs. Borth- wicl's 1o-year-old daughter, and Herbert Fritz.
 Sheriff Bauer organized a search for Carlton as soon as he learned of the murder. Posses of farmers joined with the sheriffs deputies and bloodhounds were obtained. It was believed the negro escaped down the Wisconsin river in a canoe. While neghbors guarded the grounds and the men with the hounds were searching the countryside. Carlton crawled out of boiler, He was nearly suffocated from the heat and appeared thoroughly exhausted. He said he had taken poison. but would give, no reason for the crime.

 '.The violation of the neutrality of Bel gium has extended the Belgian and French lines to the frontier of Holland. The next battle. therefore. will be from Basic to Maastricht, with several mill lions of men on each side.
 Tt is this enormous extension Of eff fectives and of front which will charac- terize the battle. and 1t will be profound lly different from all other battles "aNhen two adversaries engage in bat tie along front of from 20 to 30 kilome- terss 13 to 20 miles) the engagement Is characterized by two features-it is rapid and immediately decisive. With front extending over 800 kilometers (266 miles) it is not likely to be the sane.

Tt would appear impossible from all the evidence that one or the adversaries would be able to gain decisive advantage upon this front of 400 kiiometers.
 The operations along so great a line would have varying fortunes We will have an advantage at me or several points; the Germans will have an ad- vantage at other points and the line of battle will continue to be modified until one of the adversaries succeeds by CO., ordination of movements and mass of ef- fort in gaining some point. the superiority of which will dislodge the adversary's $ front and mark the end of the first bat .tie,

 made by a large ocean steamer. The steamer went through the Gatun locks in
 70 minutes. a speed never before equalled. The other lockages were equally rapid. Col. George w. Goethals, builder of the canal and governor of the zone watched the operations closely and was pleased at the improved handling of the locks. He declared that even this would be made much better with time. Capt Hugh Rod man, superintendent of transportation who directed the trip, voiced similar sen-
