~~ The police will not be- surprised If
the feud between two factions of Turk

mates soon in murder.
Yesterday afternoon while the
Turks who live at ia North Thir-
teenth street were at work and no one
was at home, some one entered the
house, broke into the, room occupied
by Isin Baractero and set. fire to the
bed after helping himself to $55 and
cutting into ribbons suit Of clothing

money was in one of the trousers

Neighbors saw smoke pouring out of
the window of the room and sent in a
fire alarm and only very energetic
work on the part of the firemen saved
the building from destruction. The
bed was nearly destroyed, the paper
burned off the walls and the varnish
on the woodwork blistered. The loss
will amount to about $50.

a telegram received this morning by
Mrs. Ed Sweeney, Boston pike, from

Last week, Mrs. Sweeney received
a letter from her brother stating that
he and his wife intended to take the
excursion trip on the steamer East
land, which met it's fate in Chicago
harbor Saturday morning. Two days
of anxious inquiry has been made by
the local woman in an effort to learn
whether or not her brother and his
wife lost their lives in the ship disas-
ter and the suspense was not relieved
until she received the above telegram
this morning.
The details of their escape from

sionists is not known by Mrs. Swee-

Auditor Bowman's Figures
Show Greater Increase in
Totals Than During Last
Year.
REPORT PREPARED
Official Expects Rate For
Wayne County to Remain
Same in View of Showing
Reported.

The report compiled by County Au-
ditor Bowman to be presented to the
state tax board in fixing the tax levy,
shows that larger increase was made
in the total assessment of real estate
and personal property in Wayne coun-
ty the last year than in the last ten
years.
Property in Wayne county has in
creased in value from s27,746,140 in
1906, to s34,4S6,290 in 1915. This shows
an increase OF "a per cent in the value
of property in Wayne county in the
last ten years. This years assessment
is per cent higher than last year,
and the average annual increase
amounts to "a per cent. $500
Decrease Indicated.
Personal property shows decrease
in the assessment of 1915 of $72,O7O,
although this is more than offset by
the large increase of 6h per cent in
in real estate. The total increase in
real estate assessment in 1915 over
that of 1914 is s1,465,O9O The per-
centage Of increase in real estate value
this year is 3R per cent higher than
the average annual increase Of the last
ten years.
when these figures are presented
to the state board, 1 do not believe
they will increase the assessment of
Wayne county," said Mr.. Bowman.
The increase which probably will be
made in the assessment of railroads
and public service corporations will
also be an argument in favor of leav-
ing the Wayne county assessment as
it is reported"
Mr.. Bowman will go to Indianapolis
Thursday to appear before the board
and explain in detail the increased
valuation of property in every town
ship in the county. Clay~ and Web
ster townships are the cnly ones show
ing a decrease compared with the 1914
assessment, and Greensboro and

OF WHEAT
YIELD IS NORMAL

The yield Of wheat per acre on the
farms OF Wayne county this year Is
about the average. according to the
reports made to the various mills in
the county. Although it is too early
in the season to estimate the total
yield it is known that the quality of
grain this year is perhaps above the
average.
The yield OF wheat on the farm of
Sam Gaar, on the Smyrna road, is. one
OF the largest that has been reported
at either OF the local mills. Thirty
three bushels per acre Is the amount
harvested.
The average for all the wheat
brought to, the local mills seems to be
about twenty bushels to the acre. This
Is somewhat smaller than last year,
but only a small per cent Of the farm
ers have marketed their wheat, SO the
average yield per acre will be raised
within the next week.

STANDARD STRIKE
ENDS WHEN 1900
RETURN TO TASKS

BAYONNE. N. J.. July 27.-The
Standard Oil strike was broken today
when 1900 men returned to work. The
other 2,40O strikers who have been out
for week probably will go back to-
morrow. Sheriff Kinkead's promise
that the company would increase the
workers pay led to the breaking Of
the strike George B. Hennessy, gen.
eral superintendent of the Standard
Oil plant, indorsed the sheriff's action
today, saying:
About half the strikers have como
back. We are delighted for the Stand
ard Oil Company thinks more of the
men than Of its own interests. Our
hearts go out to them. We want to
help them all we can. That is and al
ways has been the policy of the COM
pany. I am tryin gto get an increase
for the men. am sure the company
would have paid them more II they
had not gone out"
Seven hundred police and special
deputies were on duty to prevent vio-
lence when the strikers returned to
work. Only two men tried to start
trouble. Both were arrested, but were
subsequently released.

Coroner Hoffman Thwarted
in Investigation of Con-
flicting Orders From De-
partment of Police.
BIG DREDGES START
Only Federal Authorities

ficial Count Is 1929.

CHICAGO, Juy 27.-With six sep
arate investigations under way look
ing toward fixing the responsibility to
the steamer Eastland which turned
over and caused the death Of approx
imately 1900 persons, tangle of con-
fusion arose today and politics threat
ened to ovcrshadow the big questions
of who is to blame. ~-
In the inquiry Coroner Hoffman.
Republican, representing the -Denning
faction Of the party and the Mayor
Thompson faction represented by the
police we're not working in accord
States Attorney Hoyne, Democrat,
was heading another investigation
which was not entirely in harmony
with the one being made by the Fed
eral officials.
Political Scrap Arises.
These facts appeared to substan.
tiate the charge that political tangle
has made itself felt. The police con-
fiscted all the papers found on board
the Eastland. Coroner Hoffman de-
manded that all the documents be
turned over to his deputies. Deputy
Superintendent of Police Scheuttler
had signified his intention of comply
ing with the demand when Chief of
Police Charles C. Hea1ey suddenly or
dered them turned over to the federal
authorities.
At the Hudson avenue police station
Captain Harry Henderson of the East
land, is a prisoner. Orders were given
that no one except federal authorities
see him.
Raising of the Eastland was begun
today by the dredge Favorite, the
largest of its kind on the great lakes.
Even with this giant In service river
men expressed the opinion she would
prove unequal to the task and pom
toons would have to be useC.
Two huge dredges were put to work

and the docks at Clark. street The

release many more bodies. .e-...,s

TEGELER ACQUAINTED
WITH SHIPS VICTIMS

The names of the identified victims
and the survivors Of the Eastland
steamer disaster at Chicago. are read
with direct interest by Herman J.
Tegeler. 701 South Eighth street. an
electrician at the Elliott-Reid Fence
factory, who numbers among them for
mer acquaintances and fellow-workers.
Mr.. Tegeler was formerly employed
by the Western Electric company, as
electrician. 1t was this company
which planned the outing to Michigan
City for its employees and their fam
lilies and chartered the Eastland to
carry the passengers.
The Western Electric Co.. Mr.. Teg-
eler says, has an employment list
which is always changing SO that only
a few of those who perished or were
rescued in the tragedy. are known to
him.
Mr.. Tegeler left the company last
September.

BOARD MAY NAME
4.MORE FIREMEN.

It is probable that the board Of
public works will have to appoint one
or two additional members Of the fire
department because of the new aerial
motor ladder truck, which is expected
to arrive in the city at any time.
There are only four members Of the
crew of the horse drawn ladder truck,
which is to be placed in reserve at
the No. 3 fire house when the new
truck arrives, and, it is said, this num-
ber is insufficient to man the new
truck properly.
Fire insurance men contend that
five men is the minimum number re-
quired efficiently to operate an aerial
truck" Chief Miller said today. ut
is also asserted that the proper COM
plement for such a truck is eight men.

Fred Bayer Witnesses Rescue
Work at Chicago Dock
Shortly After Sinking of
Eastland.
LOAFERS SAVE MONEY
Pickpockets Reaped Harvest
on Grief Stricken Crowd
Which Packed Pier in Anx-
iOus Fear.

Fredrick Bayer. who has just return.
ed from visit with relatives In Chi
cago, witnessed rescue work at the
Eastland which carried over 1900 per-
sons to their death.
Il only wish now that had not gone
to the scene of the tragedy" Bayer
said today. MANY of the sights I
witnessed still haunt me. 1t was ter
rible. The accident occurred about
7:45 and I arrived on the scene little
after 9 o'clock, so did not see any
of the people who were on the boat
drown, but saw body after body
taken from the hold and from the
river. .&
Thousands Of people were packed
on the streets and bridges surround
ing the dock where the Eastland top
get out Of the mob. One Of the first
things l saw was diver shove the
body Of beautiful little baby, not
more than two years old, through a
hole in the side Of the boat. When
the crowd saw a policeman take the
babys body in his arms a moan that
could be heard blocks away went up
and men and women all about me
sobbed convulsively. That was the
most pitiful thing l ever saw"
Mob Grew Violent.
Bayer expressed the belief that II
it had not been for the strong guard Of
police the mob would have torn mem
bers OF the ships crew limb from
limb. He said the shrieks Of the
relatives of the victims still ring In
his ears.
"Pickpockets reaped a harvest In
the great crowd" Bayer said. "A
policeman gave me a shove almost
knocking me off my feet when I saw
his mace come down on a mans head,
telling him. He was pickpocket
caught in the act of lifting purse"
Dock hands and idle men loafing
about the river front were the real
heroes of the tragedy, Bayer declared.
He said many of these ragged, pennt-
less heroes were drowned trying to
save people. Il saw a policeman lead
two of these ragged, dripping fellows
into a saloon and buy them drinks to
warm them up," he said. "The cop
seemed to be as proud buying drinks
for the two hoboes as though he was
treating a couple of kings. After they
had taken their whiskey they gave the
ships crew sound cussing and went
back to the river to continue their
rescue work

and turmoil which accompanied the
disaster, scenes witnessed by him,
stamped a vivid impression upon his

Tears streamed from the faces Of
strong men, who stood In the silent
throng which afterward watched the
bodies of those who had been In the
hold OF the vessel, brought to land and
taken to the morgue.
Three great holes were cut in the
protruding side Of the vessel through
the use OF acetylene fire and through
these divers flashed in and out, bear.

People Fight In Water.
"Everybody in Chicago was wonder
ing what caused the ship to capsize
1t seems to be that one side OF the
vessel as she was standing at her dock
taking on passengers, was resting
against the mud bank. This and the
ropes which held her taut, prevented
her turning over until she started to
get under way.
'"The plunge occurred as she left her

Serves to Increase Tension
But Does Not Mean lmme-
date Break in Nations
Relations.
CREW GETS AW AY
Only Mitigating Circum-
stances Tighten Serious
Situation - Will Handle
Case Apart from Note.

WASHINGTON. July 27-Germany's
apparent determination to sink Ameri'
can ships with promise to pay repara'
ton under the policy it established IN
tho Frye case. may require anotnes
warning to be sent to Berlin.
This was the view In administration
quarters today, following the sinking
Of the American flax ship Leelanaw.
Il was generally believed, however
that this incident would not change
the general situation between the Uni.
ted States and, Germany and woulo
serve merely to increase the tension
in the relations between the two gov
ernments.
That the sinking Of the Leeianaw
does not bring the gravest Crisis pe'
tween the United States ana Ger
many Is due to several MITIGATING CIR
cumstances-the fact that ner crew
was warned and escaped; the appar-
entity considerate treatment OF the
crew by the unofficial dispatches ana
the further fact that the Lee!ana"
carried flax, which was declared con-
traband OF war by Germany last April.
Falls Back on Treaty.
Neverthe eless, this government ols-
putes Germany's right to destroy ships
even II they carry contraband. THIS
was the contention In the Frye case
the United States falling back on the
old treaty Of 1928 between Prussia
and this government. Germany appar'
entity is insisting upon her own inter
probation OF that treaty under the ex'
igencies OF the occasion and Is expect
ed to send the customary offer to
make reparation for the Leelanaw.
While 1t is not felt that the Lee
lanaw incident will be sufficient to
strain to the breaking point the rela
tions between the two governments. II
has by no means improved the situa,
ton. Officials were surprised and
grieved over the sinking OF the vessel
while the mere confiscation Of her car
go would have caused only passing
comment.
It is probable that the Leelanaw At
fair will be handled as separate mat
ter by this government, but 1t has Al
least an indirect bearing on the broad
er controversy over Germanys sub
marine warfare.
