S. A. HEWETT, AT AUBURN, WN.,
ARRESTED AND HURRIED
AWAY TO SEATTLE.
Skulls of Victims Crushed in-BIoody
Hammer Found-Parents Separ-
ated Recently Their Lives
Were Insured.

Tacoma, Wash.-Believed to have
been brutally murdered as they lay
in their beds, after the room and
beds had been saturated with kero-
sene, and the house then set on fire.
four little children of S. A. Hewett
of Auburn, were slain about 4 o'clock
Sunday morning. Their badly charred
bodies we're taken from the ruins.
Hewett. a Northern Pacific brake
man in the railroad yards at Auburn,
was placed under arrest by the King
county sheriff and taken to Seattle
following the gathering of crowd
of nearly 1000 persons, among whom
there was considerable talk of lynch
ing.
Hewett told the officers that the
four children retired as usual last
night, but during the night one was
taken ill. He went to attend the lit
tie one, taking a kerosene lamp, that
he left burning on a chair between
their two beds. Being restless, he
said, he took walk, returned later
and fell into sound sleep from which
he awakened to see flames cracking
all about him. Unable to reach the
children, he rushed to a neighbours
to give the alarm and then returned
and with a garden hose tried to put
out the fire.
Examination of the children's
charred bodies by the coroner re-
vealed the fact that their skulls had
been crushed in, while the mattresses
on which they lay were saturated
with blood.
Behind a little trundle bed on which
slept the only girl of the four, Myr-
| tie, age 5, was found blood stained
, hammer, and in the room an empty
bottle labeled poison" The other
three children. Ephraim. age 10; Ar
thur, age 8, and Clarence, age S, we're
found in one big bed.
Had Insurance Policies.
This morning the father handed TO
neighbor, S. p. McGillivray. an en-
velope containing the insurance pol
icies, which it is said he had taken
out recently for his children and
which had ben saved from the fire.
Mrs Hewett. the mother. left the
family home last Monday and is be-
lieved to be In Seattle.
Domestic trouble is believed to
have been the cause of the separa'
ton.
Mrs. Hewett is 2S years old, and
| Hewett is said to be about 40.

 In an offensive operation near Baian, east of Czernowitz, the Russians have taken more than 500 prisoners and captured three machine guns. Here the operations are virtually on Russian soil as Is the fighting just to the north around Chotin, where the retreat has halted measureably. In Bukowina be- tween the Pruth and the Bystriza, how ever. the Russians still are fleeing be- fore the Austro- Germans, who have taken several more towns.
 The repluse of a strong Teutonic at tack east of KoveF and the carrying out of several raids on the German lines between Kovel and Chotin in- dicate that the Russian line here is in better shape to make stand than that in Bukowina. The assault in the Kovel region was made, by seven companies of infantry and the Russians drove the attackers back to their trenches Argentina is taking q stronger at titude in her negotiations with Ger many over submarine outrages.

MOB|L|ANS REJOICE AT ANNOUNCEMENT
 OF I. C.L. COMPANY
Shipbuilding Boom of Ala bama Port Expected to Produce Greatest Busi-
 ness in City's History

Mobile, August 5.-(SpeciaL)- )-"The big gest thing that ever came to Mobile" is the way the announcement by George Gordon Crawford, president of the Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company was received by Mobilians last night that the Tennessee Land company. a subsidiary organization, would establish a large shipyard at Mobile This am nouncement came on the heels of the To- cation of the Kelly-Atkinson Construc- tion companys ship plant on the old Hieronymus site. making the last week 8 tctal industrial improvements far into the millions of dollars. The latter conn pany will build IS wooden and steel ves- sels for the United States shipping board. That contract alone will be sover sS,10O0Oo. The Murnan Shipbuilding corporation also stated last week that a contract for four vessels of the same class had been awarded them by the gov- ernment. That job will total s1,7O0,O00
 In addition to all this announced im- provement in the shipbuilding industry there are many other vessels being re- paired or in course of construction at other shipbuilding plants. It is not known WndJ the lOldl or all SIllp WOIh contracted for here or now being com- pleted is. Anyway Mobile never be- fore had so much business in this par ticular line, probably in no other way.
 President Crawford's statement last night cleared up the mystery of the sew eral visits to Mobile of James F. Cole man of the Coleman Engineering com pany of New Orleans Coleman, on Fri day, purchased 5000 acres of land having a frontage on Mobile river between Chickasabogue and Bayou Sara. He also holds, options for the Tennessee Land company on 5000 additional acres. The land all lies in one large tract. It is on this tract that the Steel corpora tion will build a model city like Gary, Ind. The 5000 acres was sold by Angus tine Meaher. Henry Hall Clarke and the James McPhllips estate.
 While the size of the proposed shipyard is not known positively, 1t Is un- derstood that one of the dimensions of the Hackensack, N. J., yards recently an nounced by the Steel Corporation will be duplicated in Mobile. Those yards are to cost s6,000,OOO and will employ about 5000 skilled mechanics
 The land bought lies about five miles north of the business center of Mobile Some of it has fine timber which would easily supply the needs of the plant

Blood Thirsty Antagonism to
 This Government

Hugh Roberts. Washington cores pondent of The Age-Herald. writes of tirfs story which is currently afloat in Washington:
 One morning following breakfast at Fort Foote. just across the way from Fort Washington, 90 men became sud- denly ill A chemist analysed the food from which the soldiers had fed. Ar senic was discovered. An investigation resulted in the arrest of a cook who bore German name. This cook was presented to a court martial and con victed. The following morning at day break the creature stood against a wall with a handkerchief about his eyes. At the word of command rlle rifles spoke and the victim crumpled up like shot bird.
 It may have happened. The admin istration says nothing. It is probably necessary that it say nothirI It is not deemed safe-as The Age Herald has already pointed out-for punlic- ity to be given even to. those business establishments engaged in manufac- turing lumber and other material for the construction of ships and canton- ments. Fifteen such establishments have been mysteriously destroyed chiefly by fire. Twenty-two others are alleged to be out of business as a re- suit of l. w. w. actiyitiesn
