WANT MORE IMPROVEMENT
ON WASHINGTON STREET
Subscription List Circulated to Sup
plement Apportionment from,
the City Fund

The city council recently directed
the expenditure Of 500, the balance
in the street improvement fund, on
the most glaring defects in the city
streets. Washington streets allot-
'ment has been exhausted and the
street is still in very undesirable
condition.
An effort to further improve the
street by donation process has been
made and subscription list for that
purpose has been circulated. The.
fund, however, is still about $130 shy.
The matter was laid before the coun-
Gil Tuesday evening by Councilman
G. ]. Hayden in the hope that an ad-;
ditional expenditure might be made
from the city funds. Action on the
request was delayed to await report
from the state auditor as to how much
the city has coming in unpaid taxes.

made thorough search for the gun
which it was thought might have been
thrown away by the man who used it.
Later in the day Bob Hawn, of Top
penish, arrived with his bloodhounds
but no trail could be located. Last
night ]. S. Hindman, N. P. special
agent for the Spokane division, ar
rived and together with ,Overstreet
and Duffy, has been working on the
case throughout the day.
Albert McCalmont, who was held
up in the Pasco yards and wounded
about a month ago, was in the car
where the shooting took place. He.
as Murray, is unable to give a very
connected account Of what happened.
Louie Sponner, who was in the car
next ahead says he heard the shots
and later saw Murray waving the Ian
tern to flag the train. Chas. Gray
testified that he was riding several
cars back and that he is the man who
advised Murray to inform the train
crew. One of the other two men held
here was in the car with Gray, and
the other, a negro, says he was put
off the train by the first brakeman
who came through.
McCann, whose body is held in this
city, is a stranger. He carried q
brakeman's union card issued to him
in Chicago in July of this year. He
worked last on the G. N. out of Great
Falls, Mont. He was about 80 years
Of age. A brother, Jesse Mccain,
living at 525 w. Campbell ST., Chica-
go, has been notified but no word has
been received from him.
Burns home is in Myrtle, Nebraska,
where his mother lives. His father
lives in Oroville, N. Dakota and a
brother in North Platte, Nebraska.
He entered the employ of the N. P.
in 1912 and has worked on the Pasco
division since that time. He was un-
married.

BRAKEMAN BURNS
SHOT THRU HEART
CONTINUED from page ons)

three o'clock Tuesday afternoon. As
he approached the men he held his
right hand in his side coat pocket
His manner and his heavy goggles
which in the lantern light could have
easily been mistaken for mask, were
such as to justify the men in the be-
lief that he was an armed robber and
the man who fired the shot probably
thought he was acting in self defense
The mans hand was still in his peck
ct when we found the body and the
lining was torn from the pocket. 1t
is known also that McCann had been
drinking heavily before he went
aboard and two bottles Of white wine
were found on his body. Apparently
none Of the other men had been drink
ing during the day.
"In justice to the memory Of Brake
man Burns, who bore an excellent rep
utation as clean, honest and honor
able young fellow, he was prob
ably not a willing accomplice Of the
older man in the sfrisking' game. The
testimony Of the other trainmen and
all the circumstances are such as to
substantiate the belief that Burns
had been intimidated by McCann and
probably forced to accompany him un-
der threat Of bodily harm"
Another search of the right Of way
will be made tomorrow morning and
unless the missing gun is found all
of the suspects will be released. The
bullet taken from the body Of McCann
and an empty shell found in the car
proves that the gun used was 81
calibre automatic.

to the caboose and inform the rear
brakeman. At first Murray protested
saying he was afraid that he might
be suspected Of the crime. The other
man insisted that by informing the
train crew he would clear himself Of
suspicion.
Murray again left the train and
started for the caboose. Near the
rear Of the train he saw a brakeman,
told him what had happened and the
train was brought to stop at Vista.
Brakeman Dies
Mr.. Overstreet, who was at the
Kennewick station in company with
Chief of Police Copeland, Immediately
hurried to Vista on a speeder. DR..
+. M. Crosby was also summoned.
He pronounced McCann dead, the bull
let having passed directly through
the heart. He found Burns suffering
from wound in the left arm and in
q semi-conscious condition. He was
taken to Pasco by the doctor where
he died about o'clock. A rumor to
the effect that Burns also received a
fractured skull from blow on the
head is not substantiated by DR.. Cros-
by. The body of McCann was brought
to Mueller's undertaking parlors in
this city where it is still held to await
word from relatives.
Mr.. Overstreet and Mr.. Copeland
took five men from the train and
placed them under arrest and i'm
mediately began to run down every
possible clew which might unravel
the mystery Of the unknown gunman.
Sheriff Duffy was notified and stopped
the train upon its arrival at Prosser.
He took of Is men who were beating
their way and held two Of them to
await Developments. He then came
to Kennewick, arriving on Train No.

DENIES
 THE RUMOR
DAYS LORD KITCHENER HAS kU1 PRESENTED HIS
 RESIGNATION

LONDON, Nov. 12-The ever persistent circulation that Lord Kitchener had resigned his com mission as the head of the armies was denied again today by Premier Asquith in the house of Commons. line Premier said that the resigna- Cion was mere rumor, and that it could not be anything else as neither the King or himself had ever heard hint of it from Lord Kitch- ener.
 The Premier further announced that he had been we'll informed in regard to the German activity in tn Balkans and that the Germans had not enough men and could not send anymore, consequently, the peo- pie could rest on the assurance that the allies would be capable of handling the situation as soon as the chief commander, Lord Kitch- eners would reach the battle front.
