MURDERER

MORRIS JAS INSANE Coroner Believes, When He Shot Wife and Suicided.

That Charles A. Morris was killed by a bullet self-administered, is the verdict of Dr. R. J. Pierce, county coroner, which has been filed in the clerk's office.

RAILROAD IN WAR UPON TRESPASSERS Pennsylvania Company Asks Municipal Authorities to Assist in Work.

In its endeavor to secure the co-operation of municipal authorities in its warfare again6t trespassers, the Penn sylvania Railroad yesterday made pub lie figures showing that its police department in 1911 spent more than $100,000 in its campaign against tres passing. This was nearly twenty per cent of the total cost of maintaining the railroad's police force. A number of years ago the Pennsylvania Railroad set out to perfect the organization of a well defined and ef ficient police department. Members of this force travel over the road on both passenger and freight trains, and while protecting the property of the company make it their special duty to look out for trespassers. The company adopted this policy, according to its latest announcement, with the twofold reason of protecting human life while protecting its property. In 1907, 916 trespassers were killed on the Pennsylvania Railroad alone, but due probably to the active campaign which this company has waged against trespassing, the number dropped in 1911 to 527. In the statement issued by the company today, it says: "Railroads can accomplish little unless they work in harmony with public authorities, and have the co-operation of the latter. The possible results to society at large can be appreciated when one learns that the number of trespassers killed on American railroads In one year is approximately 10,000, while as many are injured. "A large number of the trespassers who are killed and injured each year are tramps, it is true, but probably a greater number are workers in industrial centers where railroad tracks are used as thoroughfares. It is this class of trespassing at which the railroad is j mainly directing its efforts at the pres-! ent time, with the thought that a re-1 auction oi ine practice oi warning on railroad tracks in industrial centers will materially decrease the loss of life from trespassing on the Pennsylvania Railroad. The co-operation which municipal authorities can give the railroads can do much to wipe out this practice of trespassing in industrial centers." UNKNOWN IS KILLED BY ELEVATED TRAIN (National News Association) CHICAGO, Aug. 19. An unidentified man, apparently about twenty-five old, was crushed to death early today between the platform of an elevated railway station and a Chicago and Oak Park train. The accident occurred at the Clark and Lake street station of the Union loop. Although there were a number of persons on the platform when the train arrived and the train itself carried a number of passengers, the police have failed to find anyone who saw the accident. The motorman and guard on the train were taken to the police station pending investigation. Neither saw the man fall from the platform. The motorman felt the train strike something, he said, and applied the brakes. The man was so firmly wedged between train and platform that It was several minutes before his body could be removed. HE STOPPED SHORT. Reason For the Peculiar Signature o the Hotel Register. Many peculiar signatures in t course of a season find themsel opon the register of a hotel. Theri are foreign fists of all sorts in script that none but the Kytka could unravel. The most curious of all, however, was placed on the book only recently. It is this: "Win." - Only that and nothing more! There is no surname, no address, nothing at all but Just "Wm." This is the way it happened: A well dressed man entered the hotel the other day and followed his bags to the desk. The register was swung around into position for him and a pen handed him by the gentlemanly desk clerk. Then, in a free, swinging hand, he wrote the accepted abbreviation of his first name. "Wm." As if a thought had suddenly occurred to him, he stopped writing and looked up. "What do you charge for a single room here by the day?" he asked. "Three, four, five and six dollars," answered the clerk. "Ain't you got no dollar rooms?" "No, we haTe no dollar rooms. Three, four, five and six." "Goshr he said, and he didn't look the part either. "This is no place for me. Gimme my luggage." And he sneaked out of the hotel as one who had trodden on sacred ground. Which Is why on the register today is the odd signature: "Wm."

Chicago stereotypers who obeyed the instructions of the International officers to return to work after having been deceived into a strike on the daily newspapers, have organized a new union. The charter was received from International President Jas. J. Freel, after the executive board of the Stereotypers and Electrotypers International Union had unanimously commended the Chicago members for their loyalty to the labor movement. The formation of the new union leaves the members of the defunct Stereotypers' Union No. 4, outcasts from the labor movement. The new union has forty-nine members employ ed on all the daily newspapers. The ! new organization refused membership to President L. P. Straube and a number of other members of the old i union. I

There may be larger sunflowers in Wayne county than the one which Mrs. G. A.
