KILLS WIFE AND SON.
THEN SLAYS HIMSELF
Cincinnati Musician Feared Col.
lapse of Sons Health, Po-
lice Believe.
BY the Associa ted Press.

CINCINNATI. Ohio. October 26.-
What is believed by the police to be a
double murder and suicide was dis
covered yesterday, when the bodies of
John c. Hersh, senior. forty-six, a
musician, and church choir director;
his wife. Martha Wilson Hersh. and
their son John. jr., thirteen, were
found in their apartment here.
All three had been shot through
the head. The bodies were lying
across a bed A revolver was cIutched
in the fathers hand. The police be-
lteve that Hersh shot his wife and son
while they were asleep, and then, ly-
ing down at their side, ended his own
life.
Detectives who Investigated the
triple killing advance the theory that
the father feared a collapse of his
sons health. They said that he was
wrapped up in the boy. who was an
only son. Several days ago the boy
contracted a cold, but this was not
serious. The youth, however, had al
ways been in delicate health.

Winter Weather

Weather dopesiers are busily en-
gagged trying to forecast what the re-
mainder OF the summer. ii we have
any. is TO be like. For the conditions
that have prevailed this spring in Ida
no are not local. Everywhere much
the same sort OF winiery spring has
prevailed
Months ago. weather prophets
pointed out that there were marked
indications OF recurrance OF the sum-
mer OF 1916 when killing frost occurred
in August and when crops in north
temperate zones failed to mature.
Then the peculiar summer was blamed
onto unusual volcanic activity and the
theory that lava dust in the a,mos-
phere cut down the heat that reached
the earth's surface. But this year there
has been no volcanic activity.
Scientists have discovered that the
suns radiation is four or five per cent
below normal. Sun spots. or their alb
sence. is given credit for this pheno-
monon. Ice conditions in the Artic
are almost identical to those of 1916.
And the hardness of summer weather
makes the average man think twice
that perhaps there is something in
predictions OF year without a sum-
mer.
But The Oregonian advises to
Wait and See" For there surely is
time yet for all the summer most OF
us care for.
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1923-06-19

The Tribune only expressed the
opinion that prevails more widely in
Caldwell than perhaps Mr.. Cowden
suspects. One hours investigation
will convince him that however meri-
torious the position OF the band may
be. the least that can be said is that
it lacks a publicity director and its
justification IS unknown.
No better friend in Caldwell has the
band than The Tribune. Reams of
publicity have been given, gladly. to
this organization. Nor is The Trib-
une unappreciative of the exceptional
ly splendid work that Mr.. Smith has
done here. Let this point be clearly
understood. The Tribune has no COM
plant against the band as a musical
organization. What we may say is
directed solely at its policy OF reach
ing out after the last half dollar that
may be in sight. capitalizing every
venture in which the community as a
whole IS interested.
Mr.. Cowden refers. quite properly.
to expenditure for the Fourth OF July
celebration. OF $500 in sight now for
this event. the band asks S2S5. That
is more than IS per cent of the total.
More, the band is unwilling to give up
one of its regular concerts that the
city may share this expense.
Perhaps band is almost 40 per cent
of celebration. Judging by the size
OF the audiences which attend weekly
concerts here. The Tribune doubts it.
