SIX BELIEVED MURDERED
BEFORE HOUSE BURNED
Discovery OF Charred Bodies Arouses
Countryside at Wiley
vile, y. Y.
BELIEVE MOTHER WAS INSANE
Officials Have Begun Inquiry That
May Result in Disclosure of Hor-
rible Crime Committed With Shot
gun Found in Ruins.

WILLSEYVILLE. y. Y. August 1s.-
The wiping out of entire family of
seven and the belief that six were mur-
dered before the house was set afre.
has stirred the entire countryside about
here. The dead persons were Mr.. and
Mrs. Philip A. Roth and their Ave chill
dren, John. eleven; Clarence. nine;
Charles. seven; Edward, FIVE, and Mary,
three.
The Roth home was burned to the
ground yesterday and il was only to-
day that the recovery of what remained
Of the charred bodies gave rise to be-
lief expressed by neighbors and the
authorities that Mrs. Roth. while tenn
porarily insane, had first killed her
husband and children and then perished
in the blazing home after starting the
fire with torch.
Color was given TO the theory by the
discovery OF a shotgun whose one re-
naming she'll had been fired and by
the fact that only one skull was found
In the cmbers of the house. The au-
thorities believe the woman blew the
heads off Of the others before setting
their home afire. DR.. Eugene d. Holly.
the coroner. and NJ. b. Dean, the health
officer. at first expressed conviction
that the family perished in the flames,
possibly started by some enemy or
enemies. They abandoned that theory
with the failure to find more than one
skull.
Sheriff S. L. Bixby and District At
torney Frank Beach arrived late to-
day from Owego TO aid in the inves-
tigation. The Roths came here several
years ago from Arizona.

AMERICANS RAISE MORALE

Such Is Opinion Expressed by Dr. Buck

NEW YORK, August ls.-Thc spirit
OF the American forces overseas has

preme physician of the Knights of Co.
lumbus who has just returned from a
tour of the western front. While there
he had interviews with General Pcrsh-
ing. General Mangi:l, Premier Glenn
cnceau and other allied leaders.
The keenest impression OF any one
who has the opportunity TO visit the
American front is that our boys have
brought the spirit of victory overseas
with them" DIR. Buckley declared.
They are out to win. The French
know it. the British know it and what
is most important the Germans know
it,"
This spirit. DR.. Buckley asserted,
was in sharp contrast with the spirit
of German prisoners h" saw.
One of these could not have been

ABOUT TELEPHONE SERVICE.

Editor Independents:
 We wish to state, in connection with an editorial of Fridays daily issue of the Newport Independent, in regard to the poor service that has been rendered to the subscribers of the Bell Telephone Company, that we are doing our very best to place our standard of service in first class shape, but owing to shortage of help and part of the employees leaving the service to such an extent that at present we have only one of our old operators at work, and hav- ing to teach a new crew of operators the work, we will have to ask the pa irons of the Southwestern Bell Tele- phone Company to bear with us for a short time until our new operating force can be made a little more pro- ficient in their work.
 We also regret to inconvenience some of our subscribers in regard to trouble, all of which we could not possibly control, on account of our cable being struck by lightning on the night of the 18th.
 We have worked unceasingly to restore this trouble but had to wait on a cable man, who, today, has poets to clear the trouble at once. poets to clear troubl at ono.
 Yours sincerely,
 Southwestern Telephone Co.,,
