TWO DRYGOCDS STORES
ADDED TO ClTY'S LIST

The management Of the Bargain
store which has been operating in
Mishawaka for the past two months
has closed a long lease with the
agents Of the Masonic temple for the
quarters in which they are now doing
business. The store carries a line OF
dry goods which is to be considerably
augmented within the next few days
with offerings for fall wear.
A second new Dry goods and gents
furnishings store will be opened Sat
urday by NJ. Gilbert & Son of South
Bend, who are making elaborate prep
arations for the opening day. This
firm which is well and faorably
known in South Bend in which city
il has two well established stores,
will business with a full
line in everything pertaining to the
business.
AS the improvements on the Wooden
Co.'S property progress, which VIII
mean a very substantial increase in
the payroll when finished, business in
dications throughout the city are as
suming 2 bright aspect, and the ind
cations are that the new stores Will
get a full share of the patronage which
Mishawaka has TO give. As the two
new dry goods houses are great be-
levers in newspaper advertising II
goes without saying hat they will
create a lively and healthy rivalry in
their respective lines.

INSURANCE AGENT GIVES
INFORMATION TO POLICE
Tip Leads to Arrest Of Accused.
State Fire Marshal Loses Eye in
Exchange Of Shots.

- BALTIMORE, October ga state
side investigation will follow the ar
rest of the three men who are charged
with conspiring to set fire to the can
ming house of Charles NJ. Murray &
Son. at Odenton, according to Assist
ant States Attorney Harry w. Nice.
Mr. Nice expects that this, probe will
show that the trio under arrest had
organized an elaborate system to make
money by firing buildings. He believes
that they have operated in the greater
number of the counties of the state.
and says the states attorneys office
has information telling speclncaily OF
places fired in the counties.
The men, according to Mr.. Nice,
were not mere Iowbrows, but were
familiar with the insurance business
and had associates who knew how to
get insurance on places to be hred

lie involved in the future investiga-
tions.

The trio confessed that they had
been in conspiracy to fire the Murray
plant. Although Assistant States At
torney Harry W. Nice thinks that they
have been working in Baltimore Tor
two years and that eight or ten cases
they would not admit anything but the
attempt to fire the Murray plant.
Fire Marshal Will Lose Eye.
The state fire marshal. who was shot
in the eye during the raid, is expected
to recover, but will lose the sight of
his eye. The bullet lodged in his
head, but has not penetrated the brain.
No effort has been made to remove 1t.
The men under arrest are: Gottlieb

Bestowal Of Rank of Ensign.


However. the officers would start with
the rank of ensign and would be pro-
NOTED to the various grades above
that. but their commissions would be
only for the aero corps. 1t is possible
that the officer detailed to head the
proposed new corps would take the
rank of rear admiral, 8 Is done in the
case of the construction corps and pay
corps. In these corps the officer Sc
lected to head them for a period of
four years is commissioned for the time
a rear admiral.
At the present time the law restricts
the rank Of those who can be assigned
to aviation duty to commanders, thus
eliminating captains or adrhirals for
assignment as fiiers. Secretary Daniels
said, however, that the older men were
of no use as f1iers, as evidenced by the
work OF the very young men in the Eu-
ropean flying corps. He said that the
young men are energetic and illng to
take chances that would not be thought
of by the older men.
Therefore, the new corps will be one
of young men, and the officers assigned
to 1t probably would not reach high
rank before their usefulness would be
impaired by lack of nerve. The officers
main with the Aero Corps all the time,
and they would not be eligible for de-
tail to duties aboard ship. They would
not have to know navigation, gun
drills. or any Of the numerous things
which it is necessary for an Annapolis
to do would be to keep up to date in
flying.

agent, is said by Assistant States At
torney Nice to have been a party to
the conspiracy. No charge has been
preferred against him. Mr.. Nice would
not say whether a charge would be
brought
ut was through the fact that Bokel
i became stricken that we
caught the men, explained Mr.. Nice.
"Bokel was an agent in this city for an
operating with the two men for two
years. He made up his mind to quit
and came in and told Mr.. Broening
about it.
"Mr. Broening called all the men Of
his office into consultation. and it was
decided that it would be well to have
some one. who was not known make
the deal for catching the men. Joseph
, Broening, nephew of the states attor-
ney. was selected. He arranged with
Bokel to issue the fake policy on the
Murray plant and to get in touch with
the three f1rebugs"
1t Is said that Bokel made signed
concessions to States Attorney Broen-.
ing IN which he admitted his particle
patton in the scheme.
Broening Planned Details.
Young Broening met Freud, Miller
and Friedman last Tuesday in a res
taurant at st. Paul and Fayette streets,
and there arranged the details for fir
ing the Murray plant The agreement,
according to the confessions of the
men this morning. was that they were
to receive 20 per cent of the $4,000
policy which had been taken out on
the plant. The money, it was under
stood. would be paid when the place
was burned.
Freud objected to Il clause in the poll
icy saying that there should be no
gasoline on the place. Gasoline was to
be used in the fire. Broening said that
he would have that fixed.
Again yesterday the four met at
Gay and Front streets, prepared to
carry out the plot. The trio are said to
the material to start the flames.
Broening gave him s35, it is said and
went out and bought the materials: a
nshboWl, two candles, two gallons of
gasoline, two pasteboard boxes and
some moving picture film, which was
to be used as a fuse.
Marked Money Given Men.
On the way to Odenton the men de-
manded more money. Broenins gave
them $40, all carefully marked. Fire Mar
shall Myers. with ten detectives and
plain-clothes men. was waiting for the
conspirators.
The charge of shooting the fire marshal
was made against Friedman and Miller
because they were together when the
shots were exchanged with the police
and detectives. One chamber of Miller's
revolver was found empty. All the men
are said to have had revolvers. Young
Broening is reported to have drawn his
own weapon early in the fight and COW

Bill Drafted Providing for Gre

for Navy.
DETAILS WORKED OUT
RY REAR ADMIRAL BLUE
Secretary Daniels Foreshadows That,
If Formed, Organization Will
Consist Of Young Men.

Plans for the formation of the special
aero corps of the navy as a part of the
national defense improvement program
have gone SO far in the Navy Depart
ment as the drafting of a bill which
would establish the corps, provide for
the details Of the organization and out
line its scope. Secretary Daniels said
last night that Rear Admiral Blue.
chief of the bureau Of navigation. who
has been working on the draft Of the
aero corps bill for some time, has COM
pleted 1T. 1t will be presented to Con-
gress soon after that body convencs.
The aero corps would be distinct
one. fashioned somewhat after the old
engineering corps, which formerly ex-
listed as special branch of the navy.
1t would not be a reserve corps in any
respect. said Secretary Daniels, but will
be active, with men as officers who hau
specialized in aeronautics. It would be
made up principally of young men, for
the experiments in the present Euro
pean conflict have shown that the best
results in aeroplaning have been OBJ
tanned by the young men who were not
above twenty years of age

he declared that only those able to pass
q rigid examination showing their
ability to handle aeroplanes and indi-
eating an excellent technical knowledge
OF the construction Of the engine and
aeroplane would be commissioned in
the new corps.
Details as to the size Of the Aero
Corps have not been outlined, but 1t

that the department will be able to

termined. and 1t seems to be the desire
20 keep this part open at the present
time. AS the navy grows it would
ueeo moro nydro-aeros to equip the va
IIons vessels. Even now, however. the
American navy is regarded by officials
as deficient in this equipment.
AZ any rate. the navy has been going
SLOW IN adopting a type Of plane for
ITS service. In developing its work It
mas mad to depend almost wholly on
demand in commercial way for the
mechanical birds has been for the aero
plane or land machine. This line has
been developed principally by the COM
mercial companies which manufacture
aeropianes, and they have paid little
attention to the niers of the hydro
aero type. The navy is the only place
where such machines can be sold, and
this explains somewhat why the COM
mercial Organizations have not paid
much attention to it.
Dependable Engines a Requisite.
An engine that can be depended upon
is another need Of the navy. and the
lack Of a dependable motor explains
why the service has not been in a
hurry tn equip itself with a large num-
Der Of hydro-aeros.
The department, according to the
Secretary, thought 1t had its eye on a
near-perfect motor just before the
present conflict broke out. 1t consid-
cred 1t so good that an order was
placed for two machines, one from
france and another from Germany.
Just after the order was placed and be-
fore it could be delivered. the war
clouds formed, and the department has
been unable to get these machines.
Since that time. too. the department has
been unable to get much information
on the doings OF these machines under
service conditions.

MARRIED THIRTY YEARS.

Just because Herman Fixsen men,
toned to his friends incidentally that
Monday, March 9th, was the 3Oth
anniversary of his wedding day, he and
his wife were given surprise party
at their home on North Broadway
Monday evening. About dozen of
his friends decided that this event
should not pass by without a fitting
celebration and called at Mr.. Fixsen's
home between 8 and o'clock Monday
evening, thoroughly surprising this wor-
thy gentleman and his estimable wife.
The evening was pleasantly spent in
social converse and by singing German
folk songs. The fact that the surprisers
stayed until 2 o'clock is the best proof
that they had an enjoyable time At
midnight splendid supper was served.
There was no lack of refreshments.
Altho Mr.. and Mrs. Fixsen have only
lived in the city for the past year they
have made friends rapidly and are
as well acquainted as tho they had
lived here decade or longer.
Mr.. Herman Fixsen and Maria Sphinx
were united in marriage at the town
of Sherman, Redwood County, March
9Th, 1885 and until they came here
they have lived on farm near Morgan

Five children were born to them, four
sons and one daughter. Two sons
are married and the other children are
still at home.
