TRIPLE MURDER
WAS FOR MONEY
Bodies Found in a Tenement House al
Kingston, R. L. All Three Had
Been Shot, and Two Were
Mutilated with Axe.

Providence, R. l., Jan. l3l.-Osear Oh
sen, 81. and Gustav Olsen, 35, brothers
both section hands for the New Haven
railroad, and William Rhodes, 40, colored
were found murdered, in tenement
house, formerly the old railroad station
at Kingston, yesterday.
N All three men had been shot, and the
Olsens had also been mutilated with an
axe. The room presented a scene of yio-
lence and disorder. Rhodes was appar-
emily headed for the door when a shot
through the neck severed his jugillar vein.
A section hand named James Morris
is sought by the police all over the state.
Morris, who went to work for the New
Haven road little over a week ago, is
said to have been seen leaving the scene
of the murder about o'clock yesterday
morning.
The crime was not discovered until
late in the day, when John Smith, a sec
tion foreman for the railroad, and Fred
E. Babcock, track policeman, while
passing the building, noticed tools scat
tered around the door Intending to
warn the Olsens to take care of their
tools, Smith stepped to the door of the
house.
The three bodies, drenehed in blood,
confronted him as he entered the door.
Sheriff John r. Wilcox Washington
county, Deputy Sheriff Charles Bennett,
and Town Sergeant Isaac T. Hopkins be-
gan an investigation of the crime soon
afterward.
Circumstances indicate that the muir
der of the three men, at least of the two |
Olsens, was carefully planned, with rob
Dery as the motive Although there are |
houses within few hundred feet of the
I'D station, no one heard any shooting,
ind it is supposed the murderer waited
lis time and covered his act under the
loise of a passing train.
The Olsen brothers We're known to have
lad considerable money saved up, and on
me day last week Rhodes is said to have
displayed roll of more than 5000. So
ager, apparently, was the murderer of
he men to get at their money that some
+ the pockets were ripped from the rest
( the clothing. He slashed open the
yeralls which one of the 0lsens wore,
n order to get at the pocket containing
Money.
Little is known of the man known as
ames Morris, for whom the police are
,oking He went to work for the New
Iaven road only last Thursday and since
hat time had been living with the OIL
ems He told no one, unless possibly the
lsens, anything about himself
The old station where the murder, was
,mmitted was formerly the Kingston
tation. IL was abandoned about 80 L
ears ago and later converted into a ten l
nent for section men. Previous TO its n
,cupancy by the 0lsens, it had been
sed at intervals by various gangs of Q
borers. q

SLUMP IN RADIUM.

Radium. uranium, and vanadium are
closely connected in occurrence in the
principal fields. Colorado and Utah, but
in 1915, although the European war
caused great slump in the production
Of ores Of rsdium and uranium, it ceased

tion of ores in vanadium.

ANTI-AIR CRAFT GUNS

ing off Attack-In Satur-
day Nights Raid, "a Peo-
pie Were Killed. and n
Were Injured .........

The second Zeppelin raid on Paris
within two days was officially reported
to-day to have taken place Sunday night,
but the city and its people escaped harm.
The statement says that while the air
ship dropped a number of bombs, no
damage was DONE Anti-aircraft guns
and aeroplanes attacked the raider, which
apparently let loose several explosive
missiles at once when pursued. Most of
the bombs fell in fields or other open
spaces. There have been no further addi-
tions TO the list of casualties from Sat
urday nights raid, which were officially
! given out as az killed and AZ injured.
While isolated encounters and much
artillery and mining activity are report
ed, comparative quiet seems to have set
tied down again upon the western fight
ing front, where the Germans recently
have reported notable successes, particu-
larly in making considerable gain south
Ui the iiFcI ,oiiiiuc.. rlcucn eVuHlCi-
operations, however, probably are to be
looked for shortly in this zone of fight
ing.
In the eastern war theatre, no recent
activities resulting in appreciable change
of front are reported. Some activity is
being displayed in the Balkans and on
the Caucasus front, where the Turks and
Russians are clashing near Erzerum.
Athens reiterates the reports received
through diplomatic channels that the
Russians surrounding Erzerum have in
flicted fresh defeat on the Turks, who
are fortifying hastily positions much to
the westward towards Constantinople.

the submarine or put her wireless out of
commission. All the boats Of the X
class, the officials said have proved
