So Says the Man Who Threw

ARE STILL LOOKING
FOR CLUES TO MURDER
Theory That Someone Sent to Insane
Asylum by Doctor Did the Shooting
la Gaining Credence.
Vienna, July 3. Emperor Francis
Joseph wns reported alarmingly weak
today. He wis nt the Sehoenbrunn pal'
ace with physicians attending him.
The bodies of Archduke Francis For
dinand and his wife, the Duchess of
Hohenberg, lay in state in the chapel
of the Hntburg palace.
Among the masses of the people much
Indignation was expressed because ad
mission to view the corpses was nl
)nost entirely limited to the nobility,
army and navy officers, civil officials
nnd foreign diplomats.
The emperor, poorly as he was, He
ited the chapel. It was cleared, just
, before his arrival, of all but the priests
and guards, and he viewed the corpse
oloue.
The popular opinion was that Rus
sian and Servian intriguing certainly
was responsible for the assassination.
Fresh demonstrations against residents
bero of both nationalities occurred last
night, and today the Russian embassy
and the Servian legation were heavily
guarded.
The dead archduke's body lay in a
magnificent guilded casket: his wife in
one of silver gray. The husband 'a wa9
elevated a step above the wite s.
They were guarded by officers of
track regiments and by representatives
of every noble Austrian house.
Outside bells tolled solemnly. The
Htreets were packed with people wateh
- ing the notabilities arrive at the cha
ttel, enter, emerge nd drive away
again.
Though the bodies were sent to Ar
mitetten tonight, a state funeral will
le held here tomorrow. It was thought
unlikely that the emperor would ap
pear. There seemed every prospect that
Austro-Servian relations would be fur
ther, embittered by the confession of
Nadoljo Cabrinoritch, who tried to kill
the archduke with a bomb, that he got
bis explosive from Major Milan Pribit-
chovitch of the Pan-Servian union;
that the major also "M-med Gavrio Prin-'
v.tp, who made the successful assassina
tion attempt, and that the officer re--ferred
to got both bombs and pistols
from the Servian arsenal at Kraguye
vatz. It was expected that Frinzip, who
was said to be weakening under cross
examination, would confess, too. Ac
cording to Cabrinovitch's account, he
nnd Prinzip were co-operating.
It was considered a foregone conclu
sion that Austria would demand that
the Servian government explain how
the assassins came to be armed from
the Kraguyevatz arsenal, and if it
should repudiate responsibility for this
ns- a mere theft which it was unable
to prevent, that Major Pribitchovitch 's
)Hinishment would be insisted on.
It was. agreed, however, that any at
tempt by the Belgrade government to.
comply with such demands probably
would mean its overthrow. The general
belief was that it would refuse them,
depending on Russia for protection.
The outlook was regarded as full of
possibility of trouble.
THE FOURTH'S FIRST VICTIM.
Freeport, N. Y., July 3. To the fact
that Mrs. William D. Bailey, shot to
death as she gat in consultation with
Dr. Edward Carman in his office here
Tuesday night, was killed by a woman,
toe county authorities said today they
had definitely made up their minds.
They said they expected to make an
answer before night.
The doctor s wife denied that the
conversations she heard between the
doctor and his women patients by
means of the dictaphone she had con
cealed in his office and connected with
her bedroom, had aroused her jealousy.
"Complete harmony existed in our
home," she said today. "I was not
jealous and I am willing to testify at
the inquest or at any other investiga
tion. I never saw Mrs. Bailey until
after she was dead."
Viewing the dead woman's corpse at
the morgue, Mrs. Carmen expressed her
sympathy but showed not the least
emotion or alarm.
Larly today tne tragedy was re
enacted for the benefit of the police,
Dr. Carmen showing how his office win
dow was broken bv a blow from a pis
tol muzzle, as Mr. Bailey was arising to
leave; how a hand, holding the
weapon, was thrust through the hole;
how he dodged behind his operating
table; how the shot was fired, the bul
let striking Mrs. Bailey in the back and
piercing her neart, and now alio loll
doad on the floor.
It was understood that the doctor
himself took his own part in the recon
struction of the scene.

Business Men Now Want All
Uncertainties Settled, Be
fore Congress Adjourns
ALL ASK CONGRESS
TO ACT PROMPTLY
This Is Done, Says Wilson,
Congress May be Able to
Adjourn in August
Freeport, N. Y, July 3. Thinking it
possible that the assassin threw away
tho pistol with which Mrs. William I).
Bailey was shot to death Tuesday night
as she sat consulting with Dr. Edward
Carman in the latter 's office here, the
police today finished a minute searca of
the grounds about the Carman resi
dence. They found nothing.
Dr. Carman's reluctant admission
that his life was anonymously threaten
ed over his telephone some time ago
furnished a new clew on winch the au
thorities were working. From the fact
that he lias served on many lunacy com
missions, it was thought possible that
a maniac, sent to the asylum through
his instrumentality and subsequently
discharged, might have fired at 1 him
and shot Mrs. Bailey by accident.
The theory that "a woman did the
killing had not, however, been entirely
abandoned.
CROSS ATLANTIC IN DAT.
Washington, July 3. AlexuL
dor Graham Bell, through the
National Geographic society,
said today that a trana-Atlantic
night In a single day was not
only possible bat probable.
Commenting directly on John
Cy'ril Porte's proposal to, fly
across the ocean In Rodman
Wanamaker'i airship "Amer
ica," BeU said:
"I do not doubt that an or
dinary machine will be able to
support itself in the air at an
elevation of two mile and at
tain a speed of 100 miles an
hour. This means that trip
from America to Europe could
be made in a single day."

ment yesterday that he finds business
men "more caqiUescont" towards the

Yorkville, 111., July 3. After a des
perate fight in the dark early today
with the combatants able to find one
another only by the sound of their
heavy breathing, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph
Orimwood, an agod couple living on a
farm near here, killed a burglar who
had entered this home, according to the
story they told the Yorkville author
ities. Orimwood, they said, was awakened
by the noise the robber made as he
groped his way into their room, seized
a club and attacked the intruder. The
latter was armed with an ice pick as a
weapon. The two men swung furiously
at one another again and again. At
last ono of Grimwood's blows crushed
upon the burglar's skull and he fell.
Mrs. Grimwold, a powerful woman
of 65 years, Instantly grasped the
prostrate man by the throat, calling to
her husband to make a light and bring
a rone to tie the prisoner. As tlrim
wood returned the robber died,
strangled by the woman's grasp on his
windpipe.

UNITED STATES IS
A WORLD LEADER
Washington, July 3. After a study
of the statistical abstract of the United
States, made public today, officials of
the department of commerce concluded
that although the United States is a
world leader in the interchanging of
jiroducts among its own people, its for
eign trade is far short of its immediate
jvossibilities.
At present the American home trade
estimated at $40,000,000,000, wliile
its foreign trade is valued at only $4,-
000,000,000. The present American ex-

Since taking over the secretaryship
of tho promotion department of the
Salem commercial club, Ralph Moores
and his assistant, Ivan McDaniels, are
making a thorough overhauling of the
property belonging to the club and mak
ing an inventory. Tho club finds that
there are large numbers of flags used
for street decoration that are missing
and requests that persons having such
flags in their possession return them
at once as they are needed.
In order to have all business matters
of the promotion department easily ac
cessiblo to the public and to members
interested in the work of the club,

blue, which will be filed chronologically
and be open for public inspection.
The rugs that were on the floor have

Although the plan for tho re-organization
of the Salem fire department
has not been worked out completely,
the council committee composed of
Councilmcn Constable, chairman; Hatch
and Brown, and Street Cominisioner
Budlong, met yesterday evening and
decided that the auto pumper, the auto
chemical, and the combination chemical
and hose wngon, ami the r,tam pumper
should all remain at the central fire
station.
The question of an adequate and ef
ficient fire a'arui system for the city
of Salem is receiving considerable at
tention from the city officials and the
property owners. It has been learned
that after the first and false alarm
was sent in Wednesday morning that
I before the truo alarm was received by
the fire department that L. S. Kowland
attempted to phone to the fire depart
ment but that central informed him
that she had already sent in a call.
This, on account of the serious effcctB
that have resulted, is believed to have
been error on the part of central,
though no blame is attached, because
she should have transmitted the call to
the department though it came from a
half dozen different sources.
The recent burning of the Fremont
Hotel and the confusion incident to
aettinsr the call in is believed will re
sult in a modern fire alarm system being
installed. It is suggested that a
"Fire" card be printed giving ex
plicit directions regarding telephoning
fires to . the central station.
Every person in the city- would
be given a cu'd, while in a
conspicuous place in front of every
telephone a card would be placed.
"Central'' would be instructed to trans
mit every fire call regardless of the
number that came in, leaving it to the
judgment of tho fire department to
select the right call.
Milo Webber disappeared from his
home at 2119 McCoy street yesterday
afternoon and his mother Mrs. Barkor,
has called upon the police of Salem to
assist in locating the boy, who was last
seen yesterday morning by his associ
ates.
Chief of Police Shedeck received a
telephone call yesterday afternoon to go
out on Capital street whore it crosses
Mill ( reek to see if tho boy was swim
ming there, and if he was to givo him
a good scare. The chief went out to
the designated spot but could find no
boys there. Mrs. Barker told the of
ficers that tho lad was not in the habit
of going away without telling where ue
was going and did not generally go
swimming without permission. Sho was,
therefore, anxious concerning his ab
sence. This morning no news of him had
been heard and Officer Jack Welsh was
instructed to search tho mouth of
North Mill creek near the rock crusher
but no trace of him was found. He had
gono to tho spot fishing several times
previously but no ono in the vicinity
had seen anything of him yestorday.
When he left homo yesterday morn
ing he wore blue overalls, a light shirt,
a straw hat, was barefooted ami had his
hair clipped close. He was about 12
years old. The mother is at homo with
a two-months old baby and unable to
assist in the search.

County School Superintend
ents Name Things That
Must be Done
FLAG MUST FLY IF
WEATHER PERMITS
Ventilation, Sanitation and
Equipment Are the Things
' Most Insisted On
Before the county school superintend
ents left this city yesterday it was de
cided to extend the standardization
program to all of the counties of the
state. A set of uniform rules was
adopted to which all of the schools of
the Ntato will be required to conform
beforo they are standardized. About
10 counties of the stato have been fol
lowing the practice of standardizing
their rural schools for a number of
years but tho rest of the counties have -not
yet taken up tho practice. In each
county the requirements for standard
ization were established by the county
superintendent and as a result the re
quirements were higher in some coun
ties than in others. Polk county for
iustance has the highest standard of
requirements of any county in the
state.
In order to formulato a set of re-'
qiiirements that would not work a hard
ship on any of tho more backward
counties the rules are not so stringent
as those in. vogue in some of the coun
ties already, Under the new system,
however, it is the opinion of Superin
tendent Churchill that it will only 'be
a question of a few years until all of
the schools of the state are standardized
under a uniform set of requirements
and that the standard of the schools
as a whole will he raised many times.
Tho standardization idea appeals to
tho pride of the pupils, teachers and dis
trict patrons, of the rural schools and
results in a general improvement of con-,
ditions that could not be secured other
wise. Tho committee to draft the set
of uniform rules consisted of county
superintendents Snmour, Wells, Sturgill,
Duncan and Bonney.
The following is the complete set of
rules that will he followed next year:
Flag must be flying weather per
mitting. ,
School house Properly lighted.
Heating and ventilation Jacketed
stovo and properly situated; window,
boards or soma other improved method
of ventilating. ;
Rooms Attractive at all times.
Equipment Teacher's desk and
chair; desks for all pupils properly
adapted and placed; suitable black
boards, window shades in good condi
tion. Standard picture One new one un
less three are already in the room in a
frame.
Sanitation Pure drinking water,
cither drinking fountain or tank and
individual drinking cups.
Outbuildings At lnost two good ones,
free from old markings. Individual or
family paper towels.
Grounds To be clean, free from
paper, etc. At least three features of
play apparatus. Walks if necessary.
Library Case for the books. Books
must bo iu good condition and cata
logued. Teacher Discipline, good order at all
times, supervision of playgrounds, work
well prepared, be at school at 8:30 a. m.
Take at least one educational paper,
program to bo posted in the room, regis
ter in good condition.
Attendance Average 92 per cent for
the year and not to exceed two per
cent in tardiness for the year.
Length of Term A term of not less
than eight months.

bration held iu this city tomorrow. It
will be an exclusive affair for members

will be on hand to read the declaration
of independence. It is to be strictly a
safe and sane Fourth of July. ,
