OAKLAND, Cul., Auk. 10.
(United News) For the lust
three year of hi life, Charles
Henry Schwartz, played the
hazardous game of a double
oxwtcnco.
To his family and business
associates, he was a toiling
chemist, seeking fame through
original research. To women,
whose company he sought, he
was Harold Warren, cultured
bachelor and world war hero.
When Schwartz murdered a
roving preacher in his Walnut
creek laboratory he dropped
tho Schwartz and became
Warren. He had hoped that
mutilation of G. W. Barbe's
body would lead to the general
belief that? he, himself, had
been killed. As "Warren" he
then sought out friends he had
known under that name, and
used their hospitality to con
ceal himself for 10 days.
When Schwarti killed himself
Sunday aa police were closing In
upon him he merged for all time
the roles he had played. He be.
came Schwarti. tho frustrated mur
derer. lheao tactics of the "scientific"
tiller ctme to light Monday when
C. W. Hayward, who gave police
Information which brought them t0
Hchwarlx's biding place, went over
occurrences of the" chemist's last
days. While In Hayward's apart
ment house. Schwarti kept up hla
air of bravado and was tho "life

tions. Not Once Suspected
"Nover whllo he was with us did
ho ahow any Interest In news

"Why, at surprise pany lo my

Officials Of Mill Scout
Reports That Action
Is "Block" Move
Should the street committee
of the city council see fit to
endorse its move, the Saw Mill
Engineering and Construction
company will construct a $24,-
000 spur track on this side of
the Ewauna lake shore, near
Payne alley. A formal appli
cation was submitted to the
council last night, and this is
to be acted on after the street
committee has made an inves
tigation.
The Industrial spur would be con
structed for the Big Lakes Lumber
company to facilitate the nnloading
ot logs from the villain line of the
Strahorn road. At present the' logs
are unloaded at a small canal-like
neck of the lake, and the new un
loading site is merely to facilitate
matters, according to officials of the
company, who, when asked whether
It had asythlng to do with the al
leged wholesale "blocking moves on
the part ot certain roads to keep
other certain roads -out of the city,
etc., declared emphatically that the
move waa entirely to facilitate the
unloading of logs.
Building permits ot last night's
council session, should the spur
track be authorized, would total
$40,000.

CITY'S MONOPOLY
OF WATER SUPPLY
URGED BY MAYOR
Recommends Electric Light
Cables Be Moved Into;
Underground System
Klamath Falls pays too
much for its water.
The municipality should
take care of its own' water
supply. . - .-. . .
So declared Fred . R. God-
dard, mayor, in a special mes
sage delivered to the council
last night. ; ,
The city, growing by leaps
and bounds, should handle its
own water system, the mayor
contended. Springs to the
north should, be utilized, he
said. ' " . '
It was pointed out that the
cost of irrigation is too high
and that more economical ser
vice could be obtained through
municipal control.'
Mayor Goddard stressed the
need of beter sewage facilities,
and in this connection suggest
ed that the city council take
immediate action toward se
curing the services of a sani
tary engineer to make a pre
liminary survey and report as
to the city's needs. V;
Underground Wiring
Power lines and electric
light lines should be laid un

Ways and means of secur
ing funds to defray the ex
penses of an inspection of the .
city sewer system were discuss
ed, and it will be discussed
later. . ' : '
In his recommendation that
private power companies' elec
tric light wires should be re
moved and established . under -ground,
the mayor pointed out
that larger cities had been
