FAKE MURDER SCARE.
IratC Husband / Becomes Excited
 When wife Paints.

Conslder excitement prevailed about the police headquarters last night when an excited voice notified the officer in charge that there had been @ murder committed at 194 Cur tiSS street Several officers with Ser geant Theodore Johnson ill charge rushed to the scene, and after mak- ing an >eXamination found that the whole affair was due to a domestic wrangle and no loss of life had oc cured.
 It all happened when Nicola Ci cotte, who resides at the above ad- dress, had witnessed his wife faint following a quarrel. Mrs. CiCotte earlier in the day, went to Hartford to consult a physician, leaving her children alone in the house. When Nicola returned and learned of this. he immediately went to the tenement of his father-in-law Tn the same building where he began to berate his wife for her actions. Mrs. CicOtte returned while her arraignm ent was at it's height, and when she heard the vociferOus tones of her hubby, she immediately swooned. It was then that Nicola got busy with the police via the $. x. F. route to tell the po- lice ab0ut the murder

LEARNING FROM THE PEOPLE,

Governor Calvin Coolidge Of Mas sachusetts, to whom the oath Of office was administered today, strikes the average person as being pretty much ot man. Election to the highest or flee in the Bay State, which carries with it the privilege of occupvinp the chalr made famous by many Of Amer ica s greatest men, has not affected Governor Coolidges estimate Of him self.
 A few hours before the flame of the old year fiickered and went out Gov ernor Coolidge was asked by a Boston reporter for his views on the year that was about to dawn, probably expecting an answer built on cpl grams. If such was the case he was disappointed. Governor Coolidge had nothing bright or witty to say. His statement was simply to the effect that he did not expect to teach the people anything but he expected to learn deal from the people. There is statement deserving of being en- 2raYed on the walls Of the stately Beacon Hill strUcture-nothing to teach, much to learn. It smacks Of the good old days Of democracy when the home folks called the governor by his first name because thev re- spected him. And they do say that Governor Coolidge is "CaT' to a large number Of the rugged citizentv of Western Massac chusetts

"HobCy" Baker.


 When tribute is paid to an Amert- can hero the homage is not to him alone but to the courage and stead fastness emphasized in his deeds and typifying all American heroes. So we find in the death of Capt. Hobart A, H. Baker all the essentials of a ser mon on conduct. As he was of stout heart as an athlete in Princeton. so at Ypres and St MihieI. The Ameri- canism that reared him kept him coura gcous in conflict.
 There is something specially sig ni1icant in the death of an aviator Capt Baker, like all those of the gallant service. rode lightly with death And ii is not to the eVerlaSt- ing glory of the American aircraft program that it's pilots sailed to death in planes that too often were death of themselves.
 Many things have been said of American aircraft mostly scornful. Many things have been said of Ameri- can pilots. all of theni laudatory in the highest. But the most glorious tribute 10 American aViatOrs will not appear in the official records: and if is that they had the pure game ness to take the air in planes that might be unfit. The deeds of men like "Hobey" Baker will live in the minds of men.

ALLIED SUBMARINES
 OFTTIMES IN PERIL
Unless Immediately Identified They Were Subject to Attack By
 Friendly DCstIOyerS.

London, Dec. 26 Correspondence of the Associated Press. )-Onc of the greatest perils to Allied submarines during the war was attack by friendly destroyers. \ submarine was assum ed to be enemy when sighted by the ships of any Allied nation, and was required to show recognition signals is she was not German
 But if 1t was destroyer that sighted the submersible she was al- the time the recognition signals could be shown. A slight hitch in getting up a flag or firing a rocket would mean the submarine would be forced to seek safety beneath the surface.
 rObably the last attack of this sort was made by American destrOyors on a, large new British submarine, which was being tested when sighted. Something happened to the signal submerged as depth charges began to tear up the water. One charge shook her until the crew thought she was doomed.
 The submarine was constructed to dive 320 feet, but that was forgotten as charge after charge exploded near by. Finally she struck bottom at AGO feet and it was found she was not badly dama ged. She was kept on tho bottom until her commander was cer- tain the destrovers had gone.
