12 DETECTIVES CONTINUE THEIR INVESTIGATION OF STRAFE MURDER Dr. Carman Says He Welcomes Ar rival of Agency Head and Corps By Associated Press Freeport, N. Y„ July 7. Private and county detectives continued to-day their Investigation of the murder of Mrs. Louise Bailey, who was so mys teriously shot while in the office of Dr. Edwin Carman. The inquest into the murder, adjourned yesterday, It to be resumed to-morrow provided the matter is not taken out of the coro ner's hands by the grand Jury. Dr. Carman said to-day that he wel comed the arrival last night of the head of a national detective agency and his men. "If the county had not hired this man, 1 would have done so w'hen the inquest was concluded," he said. "Dur ing the interviews this man and his subordinates have had with my wife they did their best, Just as the county authorities did, to make her change her story. 1 believe she has told the whole truth. The detective chief is welcome at our house any time. I hope he can find the person who mur dered Mrs. Bailey and I will give him all the help X possibly can." District Attorney Smith made no effort to-day to conceal his theory of the case. He insisted that the murder was accomplished by a woman, but so far has kept the object of his suspicion | a secret. The district attorney's action in retaining a detective agency to in vestigate the murder served to prove in the minds of many who have watched the progress of the case that the county officials were not satisfied with the results already obtained and now proposed to draw their clues to a head for presentation to the grand jury. Aside from developing a case based on his own theories the, head of the detective agency, it was intimated, was prepared to investigate the stories told by Dr. Carman and W. P. W. Haff, attorney, who were shot at by an un known man. Haff. who resembles Dr. Carman, told the police that he be lieved the shots fired at him were in tended for the doctor. Dr. Carman yesterday insisted that the man who fired at him was riding a bicycle, which he guided with his right hand, usinf, his left to fire the revolver. This fol lows his theory that a left-handed man fired the shot that killed Mrs. Bailey. Another clue being followed to-day has to do with a threat alleged to have been made by a woman that "I'll mur der that man if it takes all my life." The woman, according to the inform ant, pointed to Dr. Carman as the ob ject of her anger. Tells of Threat to Kill Doctor Carman Philadelphia, July 7. —John Howe, I of this city, who was reported to have telephoned David Kennedy, of Fret port, that a woman with whom Howe | was cruising had threatened to kill Dr. Carman, was found here to-day | and confirmed the story told by Dr. Carman to detectives. Howe, who is in business here, said that summer before last he invited a Freeport man and his wife to an out ing on Great South Bay. L. 1., in his niotorboat. He would not give their names. "We landed at an island," Howe said, "and ran across David Kennedy and Dr. Carman. I knew them both. The moment we spied them the woman in our party screamed and ran back to the boat. Her husband remained where he was, surprised and non plussed by his wife's action. I ran to the boat after her. I found her on a seat in hysterics. She was screaming, That man ruined my husband and ruined me. I am going to kill him if it takes a lifetime.' She picked up a paper knife shaped like a dagger and started to leave the boat. I caught hold of her and kept her back and asked whom she meant. 'Dr. Car man,' she said." Howe said she refused to explain her action and demanded to be taken back home at once. AVhen her hus band came aboard the party returned to Freeport. "Neither one of them spoke of the incident again." said Howe. "I did not try to find out the reason for it and never gave it another thought until this murder occurred. I thought over it a lot since and decided it was my i duty to tell of it, although I hated to do so. Howe said he telephoned Kennedy of the incident and the latter recalled ' it and said he would notify the police. Howe also said that he had a tele phone messaere from Freeport to-day that detectives had gone to the wom an's house, but did not find her at home. telegraphic minors Secretary Bryan announces resigna tion of George Fred Williams as Min ister to Greece and Montenegro Judge Landis, of Chicago, calls spec ial grand jury to investigate "split in terest" policy of Jxirimer hank. whlte men held at Salisbury, Md., for pouring oil on colored man and burning him to death.

He will be released at once from the Federal Hospital for the Insane here to return to his daughter at Browning, Mont., whom he has not seen since she was a baby/ A party of Blackfoot, sightseeing in Washington, months ago happened upon Spopee, grown gray with his long imprisonment. They established his tribal identity by an Indian song, and one of the interpreters recognized in Spopee, the hero of an old legend, who had disappeared a score of years ago into some white man's jail. Black foot mothers have been singing their children to sleep with a song about him ever since. Spopee was charged with the mur der of a white man near the Canadian boundary north of the Montana line. Moreover it is now believed that Spopee committed the murder in self defense. While awaiting execution the Indian maintained absolute silence. His conduct was so unusual that he was believed to be insane and after two years was removed to the Federal Hospital here where he has been held a prisoner for 32 years. Spopee is regarded as an intelligent Indian by physicians who have exam ined htm since the movement to ob tain his release was begun. TUESDAY EVENING.

Revision of printing schedule suggested. -J Harrislmrg officially took the initial step this afternoon to eliminate "Hard scrabble" in order that the improve ment of the river front and construc tion of the river wall may be properly continued when an ordinance provid ing the method whereby the properties can be acquired was read for the first time in City Council. The ordinance, is the measure sug gested by the Chamber of Commerce and was submitted to Council s-long with a resolution voicing the Cham ber's endorsement of the move. The measure provides in its first sec tion for the taking over of the prop erties in "Hardscrabble"—the western side of Front street between Calder and Herr streets—upon agreement be tween the owners and the City So licitor. In the second section the alternative provision Is made that if no agreement can be reached the usual steps leading to condemnation pro ceedings be taken by requesting the court to appoint a board of viewers who shall assess benefits and damages. The last section embodies the authority in the superintendent of streets to re move the buildings after the matter has been settled. Measure Needs Vote of Four The ordinance must He over for thirty days and will require four votes to pass it finally. The couneilmen, while reluctant so early in the pro ceeding to discuss the proposition, gen erally appear to favor it provided the entire cost of the damages need not bo assumed by the residents living on the eastern side of the street and that some way can be determined upon whereby the city can provide the nec essary funds for carrying out the plan. The general impression is that the plan to be followed will mean thv assessing of benefits and damages and that the excess over and above what are assumed by the eastern side prop erty owners as benefits should be paid for by the city. Taylor Introduces Ordinance The ordinance was introduced by Commissioner M. Harvey Taylor, su perintendent of parks and public property, "by request." Without com ment Council adopted the suggestion of "Council as a committee of the whole" to buy the city's first motor fire apparatus of both the American La France and Morton Truck com panies. Two chemicals will be bought, an American La France for $4,250 and a Morton apparatus for $3,400. Commissioner Taylor who had rec ommended two American La France chemicals for SIO,OOO, alone voted "no." Another echo of the Briggs street opening problem developed when a communication from the Civic Club endorsing the ordinance to open the highway from Front to Second to the full 60-foot width was read. Coun cil cannot act again on the measure until July 21 as it is now lying over the necessary thirty days after intro duction. Scores of railroaders and other citi zens who must use the Maclay street | bridge at all hours of the night signed j a petition to Council requesting more lights on the viaduct. The bridge, the I petition stated, is dark enough to be i come a rendezvous for thieves and people fear to travel the highway after dark. The matter was referred to the Department of Public Safety. In a resolution offered by Commis- I sioner Bowman, the superintendent of I parks is requested to obtain from the Front street property owners who ' have not yet given over to the city their land on the west side of the street for park purposes—their best purchase figures. This applies to only a few residents. For New Porch Line Several important new ordinances were Introduced, including one by Commissioner Bowman whereby new restrictions are laid down relative to the building lines of porches. By Mr. Bowman's measure porches may bo constructed in streets of more than sixty feet in width to six feet three Inches beyond the building line; In streets under sixty feet the four feet six inch regulation prescribed by the 1904 regulation will hold. The ordi nance it is believed will settle the controversy which arose out of the action threatened sometime ago by James C. Costello, a Crescent street resident, who contended the porches adjoining his property were beyond the building line limit. Commissioner Taylor submitted the ordinance appropriating $1,842.60 from the estimated balance of.the trolley license fund for the equipment, office rent and engineering services of the City Planning Commission. Commis sioner Oorgas introduced his measure appropriating; SBO,OOO for additional Improvement work as follows: Fifteen thousand dollars for extras on the I river dam, $5,000 for Paxton creek ( and SIO,OOO for street intersections. t In passing upon the printing bids! recently awarded by Council as a com- 1 mlttee the recommendation was made that the printing schedule be revised so as to exclude unnecessary articles. The Telegraph Printing Company won the contract for furnishing 150 blotters at SBS. Other bidders were: Key stone. $135; Aughinbaugh Press, $l6B. J and Star-Independent, $132.75. Miss Fannie Hoy was chosen to as- i sist City Assessor C. H. Townsend as , transcribing clerk for the next two, months at a salary of S4O per month, according to a resolution offered by Mr. Gorgas. Miss Hoy is a daughter of ex-Select Councilman Francis H. Hoy, Jr. Council had Its little joke just at the close of the session, when Mayor ; Royal asked "If Council had decided ; yet upon a dogcateher.". Mr. Taylor suggested that "a com mittee of one" be appointed to select an official and the Mayor, grinning, named Mr. Lynch. And Mr. Lynch promptly suggested James Layton, of the Salvation Army. Ordinance Makes Ample Provision For Improvement: Ample provision for settling the ex tra expenditures entailed in some of the work on the river dam and on the Paxton creek improvement and some provision for paving additional street intersections is contained in an ordi nance introduced In City Council this afternoon by Commissioner W. L. Gorgas. The ordinance provides for the ap propriation of $30,0V0 from the in ti rest fund balances. Of this sum $15,000 is to pay for the extras in curred in the construction of the dam, particularly where bottomless sand foundations were encountered in the river bed. Five thousand Is to be used for straightening out a sewer connec tion in Paxton creek and the remain der, SIO,OOO, will be used for paving street intersections. Prepare Measure to Give Planning Body Offices Financial provision for equipping and maintaining the new City Plan ning Commission in offices and with office forces, etc., so that its work can in proceeded with is included in an ordinance that City Commissioner M. Harvey Taylor, superintendent of parks and public property, was pre paring to-day with City Solicitor Seitz. Mr. Taylor expected to offer the meas ure this afternoon if it could be pre pared in time. , The ordinance will carry provision to the extent of $2,000 for engineer ing services, office rent and other in cidental expenses. Park Commission Offices Moved to Calder Bldg. Commissioner M. Harvey Taylor, su perintendent of parks and public prop erty, moved the park offices into the new quarters in the Calder building to-day. Three rooms have been provided, one of which will be used as a private office for the commissioner, the other for a general office and anteroom and the other for the engineers. TO PLAN TENNIS TOURNEY To-night the first meeting of the city championship tennis tournament gen eral committee will be held in the offices of the park department. The committee will fix a date for the an nual tournament at Reservoir Park, decide upon medals and other prizes and discuss rules, prepare blank entry cards and fix the time limit for receiv ing entries. Morton Fire Truck to Be Placed With Friendship? Of the two motor chemical combi nation trucks that were directed to be purchased by City Council this after noon one of them, very likely the Mor ton apparatus, will be housed in the central section of the city and most probably at the Friendship house, it was said In municipal circles to-day. Just where either of the apparatus will be housed Commissioner Taylor wouldn't say to-day. When he was asked to confirm a report as to placing the Morton truck in the Friendship house he merely laughed. Borah Savagely Opens an Attack on Proposed Treaty With Nicaragua Washington, D. C., July 7. The most savage criticism of the proposed Nicaraguan' treaty yet heard in the Senate came from Mr. Borah, of Idaho, one of the most prominent members of the committee on foreign rela tions, who as a Progressive Republican has hopes of welding the two Repub | liean factions together to support his I presidential aspirations in 1916. Mr. Borah told the Senate that the treaty, which has been roughly out lined by Secretary of State Bryan, was founded on "deception, misrepresen tation, fraud, tyranny and corruption." Mr. Borah, who told the Senate that be had information to prove every thing he charged, spoke in support of a resolution he introduced providing for the publicity of the committee's hearings on the Nicaraguan treaty and for its subsequent discussion by the Senate in open session. The resolution demands also the lift ing of the lid from all business of the Senate connected with the ratification of the treaty with Colombia and off all "conferences" of the Senate com mittee on foreign relations with Sec retary Bryan and others in connection with the Nicaraguan treaty. He fol lowed up the introduction of the reso lution with a threat to violate all the rules of the Senate, if the resolution was not adopted, by giving the Senate facts in his possession on both docu ments, and said he had purposely re frained from attending recent meet ings of the committee in order that he might not be accused of divulging information gained at its sessions. After a iong debate and the post ponement of further consideration of the resolution until to-morrow the Sen ate passed the Stone resolution provid ing for an inquiry by the foreign rela tions committee Into recent "leaks" of information concerning the Nica raguan treaty. Church Council Again Defies Action on Sunday Closing Threatened action of the Civic Council of Churches, which stated In a communication to the press last week from its secretary that the names of dealers keeping open their stores on Sunday would be taken by the council and that the council would take the initiative in seeing that they were closed up, Is not to develop this week, according to the Rev. J. H. Daugherty, its president. The Rev. Mr. Daugherty said thdt the chairman of the committee in charge of this work had not reported the names of the violators of the old blue law and that no action would be taken until the next meeting of the Civic Council, which Is next Tues day.
