ports Burglary at His
Home Saturday. 80
BAD TIME, POLICE SAY

Burglars are doing their Christmas
shopping early, members of the police
department will tell you. For this
reason, Chief Logan suggests that
householders ard merchants be more
careful than ever. Merchants and
other business men should see that,
their places are we'll locked up and
valuables put in safe places before
they shut up the shop for the night,
and women should be especially cares
full when they go out shopping or
visiting during the day and leave their
homes unguarded.
Just as the mice come in from the
fields and look for snug berth in the
pantry, SO the light-fngered gentry
are pulling in from the far places and
looking for easy pickings.
Francis Dobranzanski, 500 Collins
street, reported to the police that his
place was burglarized Saturday. Some-
one broke into his home by unlock
ing the kitchen door, and stole num-
Der Of articles, the total value Of
which is estimated at 5000.
Among the things missing were
watch, two wedding rings, two ladies'
rings, lavelier, cigarette case, two
gold pencils, pearl handled knife and
one travelling set. The entire house
had been ransacked, as the appearance
of the rooms showed.

Houses Occupied Il
Days After Start

Vienna.-What is said to be rec
ord for Central Europe was made here
recently when number of houses
were completed and ready for occu-
pancy within three weeks. The houses
were erected as an experiment owing
to the dearth of dwellings here and
it is planned to build more by the
hundreds if the scheme proves prac-
tical.
The frame of the houses consisted
of two sets of boarding which were
set four or five inches apart, the in
tervening space between the boarding
being filled with sawdust which had
been treated with a chemical prepare
ton which made it non-inflammable.
A coating of plastering was applied
to the outside Of the boarding and a
family from the Vienna slums moved
into their new home 81 days after the
work was begun.

Loses Fight for Life.

Cambridge, Mass. - Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge died at the Charlesgate
hospital at 11:14 last night. He suf-
Der 9TH.
Stricken at noon of Wednesday the
senior senator from Massachusetts,
fingered four and half days when
the end came. During the latter part
of the time he lay in state of coma
but after nearly 16 hours Of uncOn-
seriousness he aroused for time, to
take little nourishment and recog-
nized persons in the room.
The hope that revived for a time,
faded, however, as he lapsed again
into Inconsistencies and gradually
grew weaker. Never from the outset
did his physicians offer encourage
ment in their bulletins. They did,
however, comment upon the vitality
that despite his ID years enabled him
to live on for days when death was
expected momentarily. The illness
that led to death was similar to that
of President Wilson, the original COM
plant being similar, and the stroke
that brought on the end much the
same.
Relatives at Death Bed.
Word of his death brought tribute
from many places. Senator David /.
Walsh, Democrat, who shared with
him the representation of Massachu-
sets, in the upper house said:
Massachusetts, has lost a states
man and a scholar who added more
to her prestige than any other man
in half century"
Funeral services will be held at the
home of DR.. William Sturgis Bigelow,
lifelong friend of the senator and
fellow member of the class of 1871
at Harvard Burial will be in the
Lodge family lot at the Mount Au-
burn cemetery, Cambridge.
Three other members of the Lodge
family, the senator's son and two
grandsons were in the hospital when
he died. Waiting in an outer room
were John E. Lodge, the son of SEN
ator Lodge, with John D. Lodge and
Henry Cabot, End, grandsons. Charles
P. Redmond, secretary to the senator,
was also in the hospital.

Find Agreement in cleveland.

Cleveland, Ohio. While searching
for information concerning Low Tai,
said to be a Cleveland tong member,
whose body was found in New York
yesterday, police today came upon a
peace agreement signed by 20 members
of the Chinese merchants association
and witnessed by a police officer and
an attorney. Chinese were silent about
Low Tails connection and so far as any
member of the On Leong tong would
say, he was not member of that or
ganization. The agreement pledges its
signers to keep peace and to cooperate
with city and county authorities in
preventing trouble, approaching wrong
doors and prosecuting law violators.

SHOWS INCREASES
OF AUTO OWNERS
116 Per Cent Increase in
Car Owners in 5 Years,
Figures Show.
ONE CAR TO EVERY FIVE

Some interesting figures regarding
the numbers and ownership of automo-
biles in the state of Wisconsin have
been compiled by the Good Roads as
ISOLATION of Wisconsin. The figures do
not divide into counties of the state
but they show som esurprising facts
in general way.
In the year 1924 as of October 9Th
there had been licensed 532,797 motor
vehicles of all character-includlng au-
| tomobiles, trucks and motorcycles. AS
the population of Wisconsin is in round
numbers $4,000 this means that the
relative ownership is one car for every
5 people-even somewhat less than
that.
In the year 1919, 247665 motor vehi-
cles were licensed. The number this
year shows that there has been an in
crease in the intervening period in mo-
tor vehicles in the sum of 285,132 or
1850. Their number has more than
doubled.
Equally significant are the figures
showing the number of motor trucks.
In 1919, 10,8S0 motor trucks were IL
censed and this year 1924, an in
crease of $500. Attention is called
to the figures on motor trucks for
1923 and 1924. Almost 1870 more mo-
tor trucks were licensed this year
than last To be exact the figures are
1870. In these figures motor buses
are included as trucks.
A study of the increase in the num-
Der Of motor vehicles from year to
year shows that in the period given
the big increase was in the year 1920
over 1919-24%o. Running very close
to that, however, is the increase in
1923 over 1924 of 1850.
Large Investment.
It is safe to say that the average
investment in these vehicles is $500,
including trucks, which means that
the total sum invested by the people
of Wisconsin in motor vehicles is
$3.50, 600, 900. This is more than the
total tax paid by all units of govern
ment in the state Of Wisconsin.
Equally interesting are the facts
showing the mileage travelled by these
vehicles. These figures are based on
the assumption that they averaged
5000 miles a year. On that basis in
1919 they travelled 1925, 325,000 miles
and in 1924 more than twice that mile
age for 2,663,99 900 miles.
These figures are significant in their
bearing on the road problem. Every
one of these motor vehicles and every
new one added is an added demand
for road improvement and is an added
burden on the road wearing it out.
Briefly, every one of them means
demand for more road improvements.
Of course the improvement cannot
keep pace with the demand. The fig
ures, however, are significant and IL
Eliminating as bearing upon the whole
question Of highway improvement and
financing.
One may illustrate the condition by
assuming that in 1919 there were
100000 children attending the pub
lie schools of Wisconsin and that in
the intervening period to 1924 this
number had increased to 100000,
demanding larger schools and de-
handing larger school expenditures,
demanding more teachers.

body as a painter who had been seen

Anton Max, and remembered that he
had been picked up once or twice for
minor infringements of the law.

go to his home, but be ready to re-

that an inquest will be called, but no
date had been fixed for it this morn
ing.

find more particulars about the dead
man and his possible connections. He
had lived, it was learned, from place
to place, using sometimes a garage and
sometimes livery stable as a place
in which to hang his hat and keep his
cherished box of snuff, the only bit
of>personal belonging which was found
after his death. He carried no letters
or other means of Identification, and
those who had had more than the
casual contact with him, said that he
had never received any mail, or spok-

ones here or elsewhere.

ton must be brought to GUST this man
from Office. In a court action cause
would have to be shown for the throw
ing out of any ballots. 1t is admitted
that both sides consider that some of
the ballots have not been properly
interpreted by the election boards and
it is admitted that there may have
been many people who voted without
legal right. If such thing should
be revealed in court action it is pos
sible that the votes from some of the
wards might be thrown out.
At any rate it appears that the peo-
pie of the county are in for long
period of uncertainty as to just who
will be the sheriff during the next
two years and there remains the pos
sibility that Hacker and Willems may
divide time at the county bastile along
the same lines as Barnett and Sym

Separated Thirty
Years, Brothers
United at Deathbed

After a separation of more thas
thirty years, two brothers were united
at the deathbed of Henry Humiston
u, in Grangeville, Sunday night. The
other was George Humiston, of Pot
latch, who arrived here three hours
before his brother expired. Henry
Humiston was unconscious, when the
brother arrived, in fact he was dying
More than thirty years ago the
brothers separated. George Humiston
lived in California, and Henry Humis-
ton located near Whitebird. They did
not exchange letters, neither did they
see each other.
Z Ten days prior to his death, Henry
Humiston, i'll, was brought to Grange
vile from Whitebird, and taken tC
the home of Mrs. w. M. Conner, where
he received care. Relatives were mott
fed of his critical illness, and the
brother, who now lives at Potlatch,
came. He saw his brother alive, but
that was all. Henry Humiston did not
recognize him, for death already was
wrapping its shroud about him.
Henry Humiston was born in Ohio.
He crossed the plains to Oregon in
early days, and had since made his
home in the west. Since 1894, he had
resided near Whitebird. He was never
married.
Funeral was held Tuesday morning
from the Hancock parlOrs, under aus
pieces of the Christian Science society.
Burial was in Prairie View cemetery.
