The Sentinel=record., 1914-08-16

Spring Green, Wis, Aug. 15.-A mad negro, armed with hand axe, today ended the romance of Mamah Bouton Borthwick, formerly Mrs. Edwin II. Cheney of Oakpark, H.. and Frank Lloyd Wright, wealthy Chicago architect, with whom she had lived as a wife since 1911.
 Setting fire to the bungalow built by Wright for Mrs. Borthwick here after his estrangement from his wife. the negro stood outside and at tempted to brain Mrs. Borthwick and eight other persons in the build ing, members of the family and em- ployes, as they fled from the flames. He ended Mrs. Borthwicks life ana the lives of three others, probably fatally injured three and seriously wounded the remainder.
 Mrs. Borthwick is said to have rep rimanded the man, Julian Carlton, her chef. He brooded over this, it is thought, and became insane.
 Carlton disappeared after the kill ing, but after search of several hours had been made for him. reap peared and surrendered He was hur- ried into an automobile and rushed to the Iowa county jail, IS miles away.
 The dead are:

Willie Richie Calls Off Bout With
Harlem Tommy Murphy.

1t is time Willie Rltch1e was taught
that an agreement to fight stands for
something besides a promise to be
broken on his slightest whim.
Boxing is bigger than the light
weight champion. It made him, and
the fans support gave him his
money. Now that he has the title,
also large wad of coin, Ritchie by
his attitude gives the public and the
promoters daily Kick in the face,
He has now called off his fight with
Harlem Tommy Murphy on advice of
his physician, because Of an injury
to his Achilles bone. From what we
know Of mythology, this means there
is something wrong with Wilhe's
heel, but there is a faint suspicion
that his heart may be weak also.
Out on the coast they are not at all
sure that Richie is too badly injured
to fight, if he was sure of winning.
But Murphy is tough nut. He is
deprived of a chance he has been
aiming at for 13 years, an opportun-
ity to battle for the championship.
Richie never was popular cham
pion, and the fans and promoters he
has been bamboozling have weapon
with which to bring him to terms.
Richie thinks mighty well of their
cash. Let them keep it in their pock-
cts when he comes around.
The bout between Jimmy clabby
and Sailor Petroskey, billed for to-

Tinker Declines the Brooklyn Bid
Ebbets Is Hopeful.

II Bill laIC was TO run Tor president
again Charles Ebbets, head of the
Brooklyn Dodgers, would undoubted-
ly be willing to wager large gobs of
coin on him and give odds on his
success. ...,
Charles Holden is the most opti-
mistic guy who has ever busted into
the boundaries of our fair city. He
could even see hope in the trans
portation horror we have, which is
some forlon hope, especially hope
for seat.
The foregoing is based on Mr.. Eb-
bets oratory following his meeting
with Joe Tinker here yesterday. For
about "a hours Tinker was supposed
to be the property of the Brooklyn
club. Then the general public was
staked to a faint idea that he was
head of the Chicago Feds. That is
the impression we have been laboring
under.
But we're wrong. Charles Holden
himself says we have committed a
grevious error. Tinker will be with
Brooklyn when the season opens.
All ms IN splte OF the verbal Jolt
Tinker handed the Brooklyn man
yesterday.
Ebbets came here to talk cash with
Tinker, something he should have
done long time ago. 1t might have
saved him trouble. Z
Ebbets asked Tinker if he had sign
ed Fed contract. Joe admitted that
he had, and seemed surprised that
Charles should be doubter.
would you consider terms. with
the Brooklyn club?" asked Ebbets.
Tinker replied that he had some-
thing that looked pretty good to him,
and that he was going to get his, no
matter what happened.
That ended the interview.
But here's where Ebbets' chiId-like

LABOR PEACE AID IN
RECORD COAL OUTPUT
Total Anthracite Production
100000 Tons.

Washlngton.-In spite OF the fact
that householders paid more last win,
ter for hard coal than they have done
for some time, official figures show that
all previous records were smashed last
year In the production Of anthracite
coal
Likewise Investigations show there
were fewer strikes or other Interrupt.

thracite regions than there have been
for some time.
The production. according to figures
complied. reached the remarkable total
Of more than S1,70O000 tons. If all
this could be loaded at the same time.
and placed end to end. the cars needed
to hold the fuel would stretch the dis.
lance from San Francisco to London.
The absence OF labor troubles In the
anthracite region Is attributed to the
fact that tho hard coal miners are now
working under an agreement extending
over period OF four years from April
], 1912. and that there IL every reason
to believe that industrial peace in the
anthracite fields will continue until
1916
Because OF the increasing popularity
Of artificial gas and coke for domestic
purposes It Is snid that there Ia little
probability that anthracite coal pro
duction will show any marked Increase
In the future.
The increase In the use OF gas and
coke, II IL estimated. will probably
keep pace with the Increase or popu-
Iation In the markets supplied by an
