Roosevelt Memorial Cabins
To Be Erected
The plan to erect a Roosevelt
Memorial Cabin at Oyster Bay in
reproduction of that occupied by
the Colonel, when he was ranch
man in the Bad Lands Of Dakota,
promulgated during last years OBJ
servance of the Roosevelt birthday,
Is still going forward and was the
subject of much favorable dis
cussion at the recent Scout Execu-

N. c. The project will be put
through in cooperation with the
Roosevelt Memorial association. 1t
is suggested that the logs from
which the cabin Is to be made shall
be supplied by scouts from all over
the country, representing every
state in the union, an arrangement
eminently suitable for a movement
which has its membership, $4,000
strong, in every city and nearly
every town and hamlet in the
United States and all dedicated to
the same outdoor life, the same
sturdy manliness of character, the
same virile citizenship-which are
always associated with Theodore
Roosevelt.

 Among 30 Cases Docketed
 With U. s. Attorney Bernard.

Fifty files are waiting in the office of United States Attorney Fritz Bernard for presentation this morn ing to the federal grand jury. But pleas of guilty, already interposed, failure of some of the defendants to show up and other exigencies of fed eral court work will cut down the amount of criminal business to a according to attaches.
 The same holds true of the civil calendar, which was rather formid- able as it appeared on the printed docket for the present term. But con- tinuances and stipulations and the ill., ness of attorneys have whittlcd down the size of the job so that the term will probably be of little importance and of short duration.
 Members of the grand jury will gather this morning and will be or ganized immediately. Tomorrow the trial jurors are to report. All crin- inal cases in which pleas of not guilty have been entered and the de- fendants are in custody, have been set for trial on Wednesday.

WEIGHT INSPECTOR
 FINDS GAS PUMPS
 GENERALLY CORRECT

PHOENIX, July 14.-Rcturning from a l600-mile trip through all the northern counties of the state, dur ing which time total of 90l me .chanical inspections were made of weighing and measuring apparatus, State Inspector F. R. Dyas today declared that the great increase in the number of measuring pumps in use since the weights and measures act was enacted has made it neces- sary to employ an inspector for this phase of the work alone, if the pur- chasing public is to receive accur- ate measure in purchases of gaso- line and oils.
 "Of total Of 367 caacity mca- sures and measuring pumps inspect ed on this trip" said Inspector Dyas "6l were found incorrect, and with a very few exceptions all of these inaccuracies were against the pur- chasing public. Pumps were found short from 10 cubic inches to as much as two quarts in five gallons. Such inaccuracies can only be re- medied by constant supervision and inspection, and with but one inspcc- tor to cover the entire state, close supervision Is impossible
 A total of l606 miles were cover ed on the trip, and inspections made in 5 different cities, towns and pre- cincts. Scale inspections totallcd
 73 for the trip, of which 69 were found inaccurate, total liquid mea sure and measuring pump inspec- tions being 42S. with 6l inaccurate, d grand total of 901 mechanical in spections, ill addition to many weights and commodity inspections and other work ill the jurisdiction of the department.
 Some idea of the big increase ill the number of pieces of apparatus now in use as compared to former years may be gained from compar- ing these 90l pieces inspected in the northern counties alone with the total of 872 such pieces inspected within the entire state in 1920 Col 1 lections of fees on this one trip totalled $32895 as compared with a total of but $44170 collected in the entire state in the full fiscal year l919-192O."

TOLEDO, Ohio, July Y. - Ken meth Gumm, bridegroom of a few hours, was near death here tonight, a victim of a woman scorned.
 He was shot near the heart last night by Evelyn Boucher, a former sweetheart, who then turned the weapon on herself. She died in stantly.

 Gumm and Miss Boucher were the story goes here, un- til Mrs. Gumm, then Miss Pearl Thomas, comedy manicurist, ap- peared. Then Gumm's affection to- ward Miss Boucher cooled
 Yesterday the whirlwind romance of Gumm and the manicurist term mated in their wedding at Monroe, Mich. That night the couple returned here to their apartment, previously

 "I know it was wrong, but I couldn't help it. the girl cried, as she pressed the weapon against her temple and fired.

CFrom Saturdays Dalyl

While steps were being taken in one division of the superior court to assemble and protect the possible estate of Ivcr Enge, who died of wounds believed by authorities to have been inflicted by two men at d lonely spot on the Midnight Test road a month ago, the office of Prosecutor Sullivan was considering the problem presented by the deten- ton of William E. Acker, who is al legged to admit connection with the case. The death of Enge clears the way for d charge of murder against Acker, provided the authorities are able to substantiate alleged facts for an information.
 However, the case is further com- plicated by the absence from custody of the other man. Acker's alleged statement is quoted as blaming this actor as the star in the drama of robbery and murder that took place on the lonely mine road Of q Sunday afternoon in June.

MURDER CHARGE AGAINST ACKER
Confessed Accomplice in Assault on Iver Enge Last Month is Arraigned on Information Charging Staying.
From Sundays Daily)

William Acker, confessed accom- plice in the assault on Iver Enge on the Midnight Test road June II, yes terday was arraigned before Justice of the Peace Charles H. McLane on a formal charge of murder. He entered a plea of not guilty and was bound over without bond to await action of the superior court.
 Indecision regarding the shifting of charges against Acker from as sault with intent to murder to a charge of murder was cleared up Friday, according to County At torney J. L. Sullivan, by statements of physicians regarding the proXi- mate cause Of Enge's death. It was declared that Enge died directly as Ia result of injuries sustained in the assault, in which he was struck in the back of the head with black jack and stabbed twice over the heart. Nine men out of ten, the physicians declared, would not have lived more than 24 hours after the at tack, and Enge was doomed to die An operation in which it was sought to relieve pressure on his brain and thereby restore his rapidly failing reason, proved without avail. Enge died July Il.
 Responsibility for the crime is laid by Acker on a man whom he calls Birch and whom, he told the authori- ties, was with him at the time Enge was assaulted and dragged down the gulch from the Midnight Test road and left there apparently dead.
 Despite grilling questioning by the authorities, in Los Angeles where he was arrested by Maricopa county deputies, later at Phoenix and finally by Yavapai officers, Acker's story that the unknown Birch black-jacked and stabbed Enge and that he, Acker, was only a witness of the crime, has not been shaken.
