CAPPER CONSIDERS PAROLE
FOR WILLIAM 1. ARNOLD
Was Given Life Sentence for MUIR
der Of Wife at HeringtOn

Governor Capper has under ad,
v!sement the application for a par.
ole for William I. Arnold, sent tc
the penitentiary from Dickinson
county nine years ago for the MUIR
der of his wife at Herington. Arm
old is serving a life sentence and
for some time has been a trusty at
the Lansing state prison.
Several of Arnold's friends ap-
peared before the governor to urge
clemency. The board of corrections
recommended the parole.
Arnold was convicted of murder
and sent to the penitentiary in 1906.
He was charged with the murder
OF his wife and afater the killing,
4 is claimed, the man attempted to
end his own life. AS a result of a
gash in his throat, use of a metal
tube was made necessary, and his
throat is yet held by strap and
silver plate to enable him to breathe.
Since going to Lansing, Arnold
has been model prisoner. He has
been a trusty and because of the
fact that no clemency was shown
by a preceding executive, the issu-
ance of a parole is being urged be-
fore Governor Capper.

A FIRE IN TRIGGs' STUDIO
Spontaneous Combustion Caused Con-
siderable Damage This Morning
rrrom Fridays paily.l


Spontaneous combustion Is the
most likely theory for the origin OF
the fire which w. C. Triggs discov-
cred this morning when he entered
his photograph studio in the second
floor of the McInerney building.
The rooms we're dense with smoke,
and Mr.. Triggs Immediately turned
in still alarm and then he called
on several painters who were out
side A. R. Elwick's store waiting to
go to work, for assistance. The
smoke was so heavy in the rooms
that the men could stay inside only
a few minutes but as soon as the
fire wagon arrived with the chemi-
cal tanks some headway was gain
ed and the fire was extinguished
after much difficulty. The fire start
ed in the dark room, probably from
some developed films, Mr.. Triggs
said The partition between the dark
room and the outer studio room was
burned through, and the chemicals
ard stock which Mr.. Triggs had in
side his work room were almost en-
tirely destroyed. The heat cracked
the lens in Mr. Triggs' big machine
ard the firemen found it necessary
to break several panes in the sky
light to allow the gas from the
burning films to escape. No water
was used in fighting the flames.
The fire might easily have proven
more destructive. Both Mr.. Triggs'
loss and that to the building are
covered by insurance.

4EspERlAh SUNK BY M.NEr
Germany Puts in Disclaimer Of Re.
sponsibiiity For Loss Of ship.

Berlin, via London, Sept, l5.--The
German government in a note from
the foreign Office to Ambassador Ger
ard. delivered yesterday. made a quail
fed disclaimer OF responsibility for the
sinking Of the steamship Hesperian. On
the face OF the evidence thus far at
hand. the government Is satisfied that
the Hesperian was not sunk by Ger
man submarine.
The communication Is a preliminary
note. which may be supplemented
when all the facts in connection with
the Hesperian incident are established
definitely The German government
states that. on the basis of the in
formation thus far obtained. the tho
ory that the Hesperian was sunk by
a German submarine apparently may
be abandoned absolutely
Explosion Too Violent"
1t is said that official records show
no submarine should have been In the
vicinity of the Hesperian at the time
she was blown up. Furthermore. tho
point is made that the violence OF the
explosion and the place In which the
steamship was struck. as set forth in
the accounts of the disaster, Indicate
that 1t was due to mine.
The report does not profess TO be-
tual but is based on evidence so con-
vincing to the government that 1t feels
safe in asserting the Hesperian could
not possibly have been attacked by
German submarine.
No Boat in Vicinity.
The German position. as semi ofYi-
cially stated, follows:
"As we are informed from compe-
tent source the news already received.
taken In connection with facts Off
cailly known. seems to exclude almost
absolutely the possibility that a Ger
man submarine could under any Cir
cumstauces have been concerned iii
sinking the British passenger steamer
Hesperlan.
Firstly, according to the prearranGed
distribution no German submarine
should have been In that part OF the
ocean in which the Hesperian sank.
Furthermore. the explosion. Accord
ing to descriptions received from Brit
ish sources. was OF such a nature as
to indicate from its effects that 1t was
rather that of mine than OF tor
pedo.
Evadea Submarine Policy.
The circumstances that, according
to these descriptions. the vessel was
struck near the bow and that the bow
compartments filled with water. goes
to confirm this assumption
The note contains, in addition to the
statements thus made, semi officially.
4 paragraph to the effect that all the
submarines that were at sea on Sept.
have not yet returned but that there
Is no reason to except that the reports
which they will supply will change the
situation.
The note is d simple recital OF The
facts as the German government sees
them without any expression OF senti-
ment or comment on the German sub
marine policy.
