Wife Slayer Prefers Shooting to Gallows Salt Lake City, Utah, July 5. Howard Do Weese, sentenced to death for the slaying of his wife last September, has chosen to be shot rather than hanged at the law's hands, July 6. He is resigned to his and says ho hopes that no steps will be taken to gain a new trial or a reprieve. The laws of Utah provide that a person sentenced to death may choose the way to die. Before decid ing upon being shot. Do Weese ask ed a prison guard questions relative to the caliber of the bullets, stating thc.t he did not want the marksmen to "play" with him but to make death instantaneous. De Weese eloped with the wife of Harry W. Fisher, haberdasher, from New York. They went to Reno and Pacific coast cities to live. Last September the pair who had married at Reno after Mrs. Fisher obtained a divorce, came to Salt Lake City. A few days later neighbors be came suspicious and the apartment was entered. They discovered the body of Mrs. De Weese, her fea tures smashed by a flatiron which lay on the bed beside her. A few months later De Weese sur rendered to the Chicago police. In the interval between his surrender and trial, he confessed to numerous burglaries and boasted that he was the greatest diamond thief of the last decade. He asserted that his wife was slain by robbers with whom be formerly associated, who had tracked him and his wife to Salt Lake City and, when he was out, committed the murder to obtain "12,000 worth of jewels which De Weese said he had stolen. Cavalry Horses Are Poisoned, Is Belief Toulouse, France, July s.—Cavalry horses have been dying in large numbers from a mysterious disease in different regions of the south of r rar.ee. The mortality has reached sixty per cent, to seventy per cent, of new contingents arriving at Toulouse, Albi, Bordeaux, Narbonne and Pcrplgnan. Horses apparently sound and well when they are un loaded from the cars die so soon after being stabled that it is impos sible to treat them. This situation dates from 1914, soon after the declaration of war. The mortality was greatest in the spring of 1915 and it is Still alarming. Horse dealers and veterinaries of Toulouse have been unable to ac count for this strange epidemic. Some veterinaries assume that it is an infectious influenza; others sus pect that a subtle means of slow poisoning Is practiced on the animals while enroute from the farm to the cavalry depot.

A committee from tho association was appointed to co-operate with members from other military organ izations of the city. This general committee will be known as the ex ecutive committee. It will meet next Tuesday evening. The members of t,ljc City Grays appointed to the ex ecutive committee are: Captain E. Laubenstein, Christian Nauss, Ed ward C. Humcr, Nicholas Tack and W. H. Mailey. After the meeting the regular drill was held at which time two squads were put through the rudi ments of military drill. POLICE LOOK FOR FRESH OUTBREAK Continued From First Page right, on a garbage can. The doors were packed with disheveled refuse. Crowtl Is Brutal Bits of clothing taken from dead negroes were shown to-day by sou venir hunters. One brutal incident of the night was related to-day. In Fourth street, near Broadway, three men saw a negro, apparently dead, lying in a gutter. One flashed a pocket light in his face and saw that he still breathed. "Well, what do you know about that?" ho exclaimed, "not dead yet!" He and one of his companions then drew their pistols and fired bullets into the negro's head. Stop Photographers Policemen to-day tried to prevent the taking of photographs of fire ruins and dead bodies still lying in the streets. "It's the chief's orders," said one blueeoat. "East St. Louis doesn't want that kind of advertising." The causes deeply underlying the disturbances are said to be of in terest to many other Northern com munities where negro labor has been brought in to replace men enlisted in the armed forces of the United States or who have been tempted to other sections by high wages paid in munitions factories. Unrest .Smouldered In East St. Louis, with a popula tion of about 84,000, there was al ready a large negro colony, and the war influx increased the proportion to an extent which caused much comment. Unrest among the whites I smouldered and even flamed up last May, when in a small riot three ne groes were shot and wounded and a number beaten. An incident ef the night indicat ed the temper of the mobs. One crowd went about the streets shout ing against the mayor. "Lot's get Mollman," they shouted. "He's the man that brought 'em in I" The cry was raised because of a false rumor that Mayor Mollman went South and advertised that negro labor would be well paid in East St. Loui3. As a matter of fact the mayor visited New Orleans and conferred with railroad heads and others to dis courage the negroes from coming. Attack Helpless Woman Another of the innumerable bru tal incidents of the night was the attack on a young negress. White men and women were among the as sailants. "Let the women have her," was the cry among the men, and white women began tearing the garments from their victim. The Degress' cry, "please, please, 1 ain't done nothin" w.' stopped by a blow in the mouth with a club which a woman swung • ute a baseball bat. Another white woman seized the victim's hands and the blow was repeated. Fingers tore at her hair and her waist was stripped from her. "Now, let's see how fast she can run," suggested a bystander, as tho negress broke loose. The women were loathe to leave her alone, but after following her with blows for a short distance, they stopped and she ran crying down the street . Strike Aged Woman The women next tried to get an aged negress who was guarded by three militiamen. One of them wrest led with the soldier for his rifle and others succeeded in getting in a few blows. Three hundred and ten dwellings, mostly negro shacks, valued at $300,000 were destroyed by lire in the rioting last night, according to a statement made by Fire Chief M. J. Tobin. Further Shooting Further shooting was reported by the police to-day, but without details, aa the day wore on. Ambulances scurried hither and thither. Chief of Police Ransom Payne, hearing that a crowd of men from tho Mis souri side of the river were coming over each to "get a nigger," ap pealed to Chief of Police Young, ot St. Louis, Mo., to close the bridges. They were closed last night but were reopened again this morning. A few fires burst forth anew in wreck ed buildings, keeping the firemen busy. Negroes by the score were seen to-day, walking out of town in the fear of a repetition of the horrors of the race rioting. New Attack Made One group was attacked by whites in a switch-yard. Militiamen firing their rifles in the air, dispersed the whites. No attempt was made to keep the blacks from leaving .the city. Shops opened as usual but there was practically no business. The tire area covered sixteen and one-half blocks. It was in the ruins that it was expected that the death list would be swelled. Wild rumors of disturbances were circulated but usually proved untrue. Three cases of smallpox developed over night among negroes quartered on the third floor of the city hall, it was reported.

The fires which were set by the mobs during the night in five differ ent parts of the city where negroes lived, besides burning nearly two hundred negro cottages destroyed more than one hundred loaded freight cars belonging to the South ern Railway, valued at half a mil lion dollars. Many Fires The Broadway Theater, valued at more than SIOO,OOO, was burned. Although the fires burned for sev eral hours they were brought under control before daylight. Eleven companies of the Illinois National Guard, numbering about 1,500 men, patrolled the streets to day with orders to prevent any Joi tering at corners and any assembly of people in the streets. Adjutant General Frank Dickson, of Illinois, said that troops would be so dis posed throughout the city as to pre vent repetition of last night's disor ders. < No Martial I .aw General Dickson said that mili tary rule had not been established and probably would not be. Mayor Mollman of East St. Louis, the adju tant said, asked for a declaration of military rule and this fact gave rise to the statement that it actually had been proclaimed. He said that the transfer df military cases to civil courts involved so many intricacies that he was reluctant to ask the governor to proclaim martial law. Only ono white man was killed in last night's rioting, and he was shot by a negro sniper. Two negroes were hanged during the night by mobs and four were killed by snip ers. Search For Bodies The work or searching the ruins for bodies began before daylight and it was reported that eight bodies had been taken to various undertak ing establishments. Hundreds of negroes, many of them women carrying babies, cross ed into St. Louis, Mo., last night. At the same time thousands of curious ity seekers from the Missouri side crossed the bridges into East St. Louis, making It more difficult for the police and National Guard to restore order. 500 in Jail Hundreds of negroes are employ ed in the big mills at Granite City and many of them live in East St. Louis. Some of the mills desiring to save their men from attack, would not allow the negroes to leave for home at tho usual hour. Early to-day. the guardsmen, un- 1 der command of Adjutant General Dickson, rounded up more than 500 rioters and brought them to the city jail. Guard Did Not Shoot The troops who were on duty dur ing the most serious disturbances, I being under civil authority, were or- | dered not to shoot. This resulted in , a number of rifles being taken forcibly from the soldiers. In ex planation of the failure of the troops to fire on the mobs, General Dick- I son said that tho purpose for which j the troops had been sent had been j gained without firing a shot and that i wholesale bloodshed would have | been the result of any firing on the : part of the troops. Squads of soldiers sent out to bring in firearms found in posses sion of any whites or negroes, seiz ed dozens of revolvers, rifles and shotguns. One youth found with a meat cleaver concealed under his coat, said he would have used It to kill a negro had an opportunity been offered. Operate With Candles One of the results of the fires was to plunge parts of tho city in dark ness. Surgeons at St. Mary's Hos pital and the emergency operating rooms, opened in the City Hall, were forced to do their work' while policemen held flashlights or candles over the tables. In the Baltimore and Ohio rail road yards a negro woman leading a small child was attacked by white women who were following a mob. The negro woman seized the child in her arms and ran into a cottage which the white women bombarded with stones and chunks of coal. The woman escaped without serious in jury. Sensational Rescue Colonel S. O. Tripp, of the Illinois Guard, was the chief figure in a sen sational rescue of an aged negro. The black, with a rope around his neck, was being dragged through n street by more than a hundred men. An automobile bearing Colonel Tripp and Attorney Fekete appear ed as the mob was about to hang the negro to a pole.

Census Taken in 1911 Gives United Kingdom 420,882,558 Inhabitants London, July s.—The final report on the census, which was taken In 1911, and which has just been is sued, shows a total population of 420,882,558, of which 315.i56,396 were tn India, and 45,221,615 in the United Kingdom, of Great Britain and Ireland. The. population of Ireland con tinues to decrease, France is station ary but there has been a remarkable fall in the growth of the populations of Norway and Scotland. Germany shows the highest rate of increase in Europe, while in the British em pire abnormal rates of growth are shown in Canada and New Zealand. In all English counties, births in the ten intercensal years outnumber ed deaths, yet In six—London, Cum berland, Westmoreland. Cardigan, Radnor and Montgomery—the pop ulation decreased, showing the losses by migration. An a' consequence, it is charged,' of wilful misstatement of age, the number of women' in the groups aged 20-25 and 25-30 are dispropor tionately high. There is a striking increase tn the number of public entertainers which the report says is due largely to moving picture shows.

Harrisburg Guard Companies Showing Up Well as to Numbers Adjutant General Stewart to-day informed the War Department that the strength of the National Guard organizations not in Federal serv ice on June 30 was 589 otticers and 15,839 men. Included in the num ber are 677 reserves. There are four regiments in Federal service. The strength report shows the fol lowing: Artillery—First regiment, 41 offi cers and 1,131 men; Second, 42 and 1,175; Third, 34 and 1,112. Cavalry—First regiment, 55 and 1,341. Infantry—Fourth regiment, 56 and 1,655; Sixth. 56 and 1,441; Eighth, 52 and 1,736; Tenth, 53 and 1,890; Sixteenth, 56 and 1,956. The latter command needs but 46 men to give it war strength.

It should have three officers and 150 men. RUSSIA HTTSGERMAN LINE GREAT BLOW Continued From First Page Teutonic strongnoid at Brzozany, twenty-five miles td the south, Rtiss Well Supplied The Russian artillery Is plentifully supplied with ammunition for the important work at hand. The sup ply department was the weakest of any during the old regime, causing many a breakdown for which the lighting forces were not responsible. The deficiency in this respect now seems to have been thoroughly rem edied. Petrograd advices declare the preparations- as regards munitions and equipment were better for this offensive than for any preceding op eration in the whole war. The military movements op other war fronts are dwarfed in impor tance by the Russian drive. There is, nevertheless, considerable activ ity on the Aisne and Verdun fronts in Northern France, where the Ger mans are continuing their persistent attacks. General Petain's forces are holding firm, however, and all the Crown Prince's attempts of last night, including a sharp drive be tween Hill 304 and Avocourt Wood in the Verdun region, were com pletely checked.

While there are two older pumps at the station which can be used, Commissioner Dunkle declared the mains may not be large enough to carry the water as fast as it is pumped. Ixing Neglected General repairs to the woodwork are needed also, he reported. Ef forts will be made to eliminate the heavy black smoke discharge from the large stack at the station. At the reservoir the brick work has not been repaired for several yea>-s, according to tho report. This is an urgent improvement. Com plaints of poor water pressure In the Allison Hill district are being investigated and the service will be improved as much as possible. At present all the water mains in the city and tho fine connections are be ing cleaned. Only a few slight im provements are needed at the filter pl nt, including the replacing of some of the woodwork. The total cost of the repairs, according to Commissioner Dunkle should not exceed $5,000, but thi will only af fod a little help in meeting the situa tion. Award Hose Bids When Commissioner Gross an nounced the award of firehose bids, Harry F. Sheesley, representing the B. F. Goodrich Company, declared his company did not want any part of the contract, but all of it. Com missioner .Gross at once cut out the award of one thousand feet to the Goodrich firm and Council then ap proved the other awards as follows: Fabric Hose, 2,000 feet at $1 a foot; Bi-latural, 1,500 feet at $1 a foot; Bowman and Company, 500 feet at $1 a foot; Home Rubber Company, 500 feet at $1 a foot; Eureka Hose, 800 feet at 90 cents a foot. Commissioner Gross came to Council prepared for any kind of an objection, but when Mr. Shees ley asked to be heard, Commissioner Gorgas, who was presiding, decided otherwise. The awards were ap proved unanimously. Mr. Sheesley then asked a permission to enter a protest, and was directed to make it to Commissioner Gross. Union's Protest Read In speaking of the awards, Mr. Gross declared he had communi cated with a large number of cities in the state and received recommen dations from all to purcliuse hose which has already proven its Worth, and in some instances has been in service for more than twenty years. "The question of which is the cheaper can be determined by the following basis. Cheap hose lasts approximately four years and costs eighty cents a foot, a cost of 20 cents a year. More expensive hose lasts at least ten years, costs one dollar a foot, or ten cents a year, saving the city one-half. We have had experience with some of the more expensive hose and find it un equaled in quality. The small awards of five and eight hundred feet were made as trials," Commis sioner Gross explained. A protest from the Firemen's Union was read, asking Council to take action and stop parking in Third and Fourth street:!, between Market and Walnut streets, and in Walnut streat between Second and Fourth streets. A petition signed by many promi ent citizens of the city was present d by Commissioner Lynch for For rest E. Donmoyer, a youth who cir culated it. The petition asks Coun cil to pass an ordinance providing a fine or prison sentence for any one who does not stand while the "Star Spangled Banner" is being played, or on the male civilian who does not remove his hat or cap when it is played. Attached to the petition was a note: "You can't go wrong when men like the following have signed this petition."

Two Aged Prisoners "Wander Away" Sacramento, Cal., July 3. Dick Larkin, 75 years old, and Bill Nye, with the snows of 73 years upon liis head, wandered away from Folsom prison yesterday. Dick had lived there, off and on, for thirty-seven years and should know the way home. Bill was sojourning for a period of fourteen years. Both are expected hack to-morrow, because the prison authorities think they won't know where else to go. In private life Dick has been known as a thief. Hence his frequent periods of incarceration. Bill was mixed up in an unpleasant manslaugh ter matter, but has nearly lived It down, according to the mandates of the State. They are thought to be on a short holiday and the wardens hope they will obviate the bothersome de tail of sroing after them. The aged men have been raising hogs on the prison farm. Both have been eligible to parole for some time.

WETS AND DRYS CLAIM VICTORY Administration Leaders Fail in Effort to Set Time For Vote By Associated Press Washington, July 3.—Holding the new cloture rule in reserve, admin istration Senators to-day made an other futile attempt to get*the op ponents of the food bill to voluntar ily agree on a time for a vote. Senator Chamberlain, in charge of the bill, warned the Senate that more than two weeks have already been used up In discussion and that he believed all Senators who Intended malting speeches had done so. He asked for a vote on the bill to-day at 5 p. m. Senator Penrose at once objected, declaring that he favored "free and faii*'discussion" and objected to "the use of the steam roller" in forcing the bill. Cluim Victory Senator Chamberlain replied iVnr it was not his purpose to urge the use of the "steam roller" and lie htul no desire to "implicate that there has been any filibuster." Senator Jones, of Washington, in terrupted to say that he hoped the press of the country would not say "that the friends of temperance are opposing the progress of the bill." Leaders of both "wet" and "dry" factions claim victory in the impend ing tight over authorizing the Presi dent to deal with light beverages. The prohibition will come to the fore the latter part of the week. Legal Notices Office of the Board of Commissioners of Public Grounds and Buildings of the Commonwealth of Pennsylva nia. Martin G.
