SAL VAT|ON ARMY
/. TO CONDUCT DRIVE
FOR FINANCIAL AID
LOCAL CORPS HOPES TO RAISE
$1,000 TOWARD CARRYING ON
" IT'S WORK IN OTTAWA DURING
NEXT YEAR.

The annual Salvation Army drive
for funds will start in Ottawa on Mon
day morning, Oct. 30, and will con
tinue through the week The eXecu-
tive committee, l.. c, Brand, Clarence
Grigg5, Fred A. Sapp, Charles Geiger,
Miss Lelah Lincoln, Mrs G. G. Rick
ley and j. ]. Dougherty who will have
charge Of the campaign, met last night
in the Chamber of Commerce rooms
and mapped out plans for the week $
work
1t is hoped to raise $4,000 for the
maintenance of the organization in OF
tawa during the coming year and
$4,000 for the building of permanent
home here.
The committee have familiarized
themselves by a careful examination
OF the receipts and expenditures rec
Ords of the army during the past year,
which were $4,366.S6. OF this amount
the organization through It's own eff
forts raised about S2,351 93, which was
approximately $4,000 less than was
actually needed to finance the work
1t was necessary several weeks ago
to borrow $500 to carry on the work.
Taking into consideration the fact
that it is impossible to compute the
demands of the army during the com
ing winter and to be sure that the of.
ficers are not handicapped in caring
for the city's unfortunate, the execu-
tive committee fixed $1,000 as the
local quota.
They also feel certain that an add-
tional $4,000 can be raised to erect a
building on the lot owned by the or
ganization on La Sale street
Every one in the city is urged to
give as literally as they can. The or
ganization is quietly doing splendid
work among the hopeless and help
less of the city.

VISITS KENCKE HOME TO
APPLY TORCH TO
OUTBUIlDlNG
CAUSES $500 LOSS
OWNER UNABLE ID TRACE
REASON WHY LEGENDARY
SHOULD PAY HIM a VISIT AND
TRY TO BURN HIM OUT

Fire OF mysterious origin thought
TO be the work of an incendiary, de-
stroyed combination chicken house,
coal shed and an olt'building early
this morning The building is the
property OF Edwar. Kencke and IS
located in the rear of his home S23
Canal street.
According to Mr.. Kencke he had
cleaned out the tuilding few days
ago in preparation for putting in his
winter supply of coal and obtaining
some more chiclens. There was no
oil, grease, or any inhammable or com
bustible material In the buildings that
he knew of. II was his opinion that
the fire was the work Of torch iiend.
The fire department was called TO
the scene at about 3;05 this morning
started an hour before. II had gained
but is is apparent that the fire had
good start and the building was al
most destroyed before the department
arrived on the scene.
The blaze was discovered first by an
employe of Stalks bakery who called
the department After the call had
been sent in and the man went to tell
the kencke's of the fire they had dis
covered.
Besides the destruction of the build
ings most of the contents were lost.
In the chicken house were an incu-
bator and brooder valued at $50 and
all kinds of tools The buildings and
their contents We're valued at 5000 and
are a total loss. The loss is partially
covered by insurance.
Assistant Fire Chief Stevenson
stated that he could not see any way
for the fire to originate except it was
the work of an incendiary.
The police have taken up the matter
in hope OF apprehending the firebug,
fearing there may be a return of in.
cendiarism such as that which kept
the city in terrorism year or more
ago, when eight or ten buildings We're
visited by an unknown pyromaniac
and either wholly or partially destroy
ed by fire.

WOMAN WHO KILLED
SELF AND PREACHER
DECLARED INSANE

Havre, Mont, Oct 2S.-Rev. LeoG-
ard Jacob Christler, rector OF St.
Marks Church of the Incarnation here
and widely known as the bishop Of
all outdoors" and Mrs Marguerite
Carlton. wife Of former Montana dis
trict judge, who were killed yesterday
in the clergvman's home within few
feet Of the home where Mrs. Christler
was. were the victims Of tomrorary in
sanity on the part of Mrs, Carleton, in
the opinion of local officials. So sure
are the officials that the deaths reDre-
sent murder and suicide that Coro-
ner John Holland ard the sheriff's Of
fee last night announced that no in
quest would be held unless relatives
of the dead man and woman insist on
one.
The theory of the officers received
confirmation from Hr. d. S. Macken-
zie, who was called by Mrs. Christler
Immediately after the shooting, DR..
Mackenzie said that when he arrived
at the Christler home the pistol with
which the two had been shot was still
grasped in Mrs. Carleton's hand and
her finger still was on the trigger In
an unsuccessful effort to establish a
motive for the shooting officers yes
terday partially reconstructed num-
her of letters found in a partially de-
stroyed condition in the room Mrs.
Carleton had occupied in a local
hotel.
Mrs. ]. Fl. Pyle, mother of Mrs.
Carleton, arrived here today, but was
in condition of such nervousness
that she was unable to discuss the
tragedy with the police. Unless Mrs.
Pyle who is under a PHYSICIANS care,
requests an inquest it is probable none
will be held, Coroner Holland an
nounced. as the authorities declare
the deaths are plainly cases of murder
and suicide.
The funeral of the dead minister
was held this afternoon, the body
being sent to Auburn N. Y, for
burial

SAYS MAN ACCUSED
BY GIRL ACCEPTED
BLAME FOR c H|LD
DEPUTY SHERIFF CLAIMS DUSIN
DEDlC 35, ADMITTED ILLICIT RE-
LATIONSHIP WITH 13-YEAR-oLD
STELLA GAPlNskI

Dusin Dedic, the 35 year-old La
Sale man charged the criminally at
tacking l3-year.old Stella Gapinsh, is
alleged to have admitted his guilt to
Deputy Sheriff John Cisco yesterday
afternoon, and to have said that he
would either marry the girl, or would
plead guilty to the offence and be
sent up the line" without standing
trial.
Dedic was brought to Ottawa and
lodged in the county Jail late yester-
day. For some reason the authorities
had Mrs. Helen Gapinski, the mother
" the child go into Justice Koenig' S
court yesterday and secure second
warrant for the defendants arrest
This charge, which is for the assault
will supplement. the first warran
secured for Dedic's arrest in Justice
Fitzgerald's Court in La Sale OF
Thursday afternoon.
Stella is patient in a hospital
according to information obtained by
the authorities, either in La Sale or
Peru, where she has been confined
since just before the birth Of her babe
on Thursday Dedic will be held in
jail until the time of his preliminary
hearing, which will be held before
justice of the peace Koenig
The power to permit marriage be-
tween the little girl, and her assailant,
who is almost three times her age,
remains solely in the hands of the
States Attorney, as she is under six
teen years of age, and the state law
prohibits her parents from having
power to give consent to the marriage
of so young a child.
States Attorney II. F. Kelly is con-
fined to his home recuperating from
an operation, and will not be able to
give his opinion on the matter for
several days As the babe is dead it
is not believed he will sanction such
Il marriage, which would probably
create furore in child welfare circIes

CABINET ORDERS
ARMY RULE, THEN
RESCINDS ACTION
Rome Italy, Oct 28.-The cabinet council
has been IN session since midnight in order to re-
ceive reports from the provinces where the facist

movement has taken a
serious direction and to
adopt necessary measur-
es to meet the situation.
The cabinet decided first to issue
a proclamation declaring state of
seige in all the provinces beginning
at noon today. but later this decision
was modified and proclamation is
sued urging the public to maintain
order in the face of the insurrection-
airy attempts.
Reports received from central Italy
show that the facisti are extending
their movement with view of exert
ing pressure for the formation of
facisti cabinet
The facta ministry is in action
with energy to re-establish order
despite the resignation of that body.
There has not been any disorders of
moment in Rome or in any of the
other larger Italian cities.
Report Facisti Advancing.
London, Oct. 2S.-(By the A. P.)--
Martial law was proclaimed in Italy
today to take effect at noon but the
proclamation later was rescinded, 1t
IS stated in dispatches from the Ste
FAM agency in Rome, the semi-official
Italian news organization. 1t is eX-
planned that the withdrawal of the
proclamation is the result of an i'm
provement in the situation.
Special dispatches early this morn
;,,,, of No hao otn M n
ed movement by the facisti against
several towns. Florence, PoZa, Gre
mona and other chief centers were de-
clared to have been taken over by the
: facfsti forces who deposed the state
authorities and assumed command.
Apparently, according to these adj
vices, there was no resistance. Com
munications in all parts of the coun-
fy are badly disorganized, and the
news of the declaration OF martial law
is the first to reach here since the
movement started. aTEJ-
King Victor Emmanuel is known to
have returned to Rome last night
with the intention of comforting today
with various political leaders in an
endeavor to form new cabinet to
succeed the Facta ministry, which
was forced out by the threats of the
facisti.
Government PROCLAIM alton.
Rome, Oct. 2S.-(By the A. P)--
The Italian government in a procla-
nation to the people says:
"Seditious movements have mani
tested themselves in certain provin-
ces of Italy having as their object
the interruption of the normal func-
ton Of states powers and calculated
to plunge the country into grave trou-
Bile, the government has as far as pos
Sible tried every means of concilia-
ton in the hope of re-establishing
peace and reaching a peaceful So
luton of the crisis.
In the face of such insurrectionary
attempts it is the duty of the retir-
ing government by all means at what
ever cost, to maintain law and order
and this duty it will carry out to the
full i'll order to safeguard the citizens
and free institutions. 1t is the gof-
ernment's expectation that the citi-
zens will remain calm and have con-
fidence in the measures taken for
their safety. Long live Italy.
Long live the king"
