Itoeder is charged with indicting mortal wounds on llarrv Love, who died Saturday at Wyatt. Crees. MontRomcry and Sheriff Halley went to Wyatt this morning where they intend to weave u further chain of evidence against Hoeder if possibles and examine a number of witnesses whom they were unable to see there Monday. It Is said that a number of eye witnesses or persons who are indirectly connected with the mysterious death of the telegraph operator, have not been seen, and it is to continue the Investigation begun Monday, that the prosecutor and sheriff are making inv estimations that may lead to further developments. Hoeder, who is now charged with murder, and held without bond, pending the result of the investigations beintf conducted, has ko far made no Ftatenient bearing on the case. He was extremely reticent Tuesday in discussing the matter, asserting that he had told all he knew about it at the coroner'n hearing Moiulay.

CITY PROPOSES TO ASSIST WITH LIGHTS

I'lan i- siilunitti-ii wln rcl'5 '"- "f An- UuliN .May lr Saml ami I'wil l'nr Cluster Uslx. By means of a proposition submitted by the city Tuesday mornlns at a m?eting of the Chamber of Commerce lighting committee it ii probable that the difficulty which has arisen over the cluster light.s on the down town street will he cleared up. The city propose? to expend as much for the cluster lights as It would be necessary to" expend for arc lights in the same district if the cluster lichts were not used. This plan was .submitted by K. M. Morris, president of the hoard of public works, and was considered favorably by the lighting committee. The "district within which it is proposed to have tho cluster lights has not been finally mapped out but it will probably be as follows: Michigan st. from Lasalle to Division; Main from Colfax to Wayne: Wayne from Main to Michigan: Jefferson from Main to the first alley cast of Michigan; Wushington from the first alley west of Main to the first alley east of Michigan, and on Colfax from Main to Michigan. The city is now expending approximately Sl'.UOO a year in arc lighting in this district. To carry out the plan submitted by the city it will be necessary to learn how many arc lights would be needed if there were no cluster lights. Without the cluster lights it would of course be necessary for the city to expend more than the K;ouO on arc lights. With the cost of tho arc lights credited to the cluster i lights the mere-hunts would be ma terially aidetl in the upkeep of the latter. Those who met to consider the quesi tion Tuesday were F. J. Hareiy, Charles Coonley ami Ilugene Miller of tho lighting committee, M. s. Caldwell of the Indiana & Michigan Electric Co., and K. M. Morris.

Lima: BUSINESS MEN SOLDIERS TO DEMAND ACTION Volunteers In New Vork Military Camp to Petition Congress for Action to Safeguard Nation. PBATTSBCRGH, X. Y.. Auk. 24. As a result of what they have observed and what has been drilled Into them byarmy officers concerning the unpreparcdncss of the Fnlted States for war. The volunteers in the business men's military camp are preparing a petition to be forwarded to Washington demanding that congress take steps to safeguard the country without further delay. The petition will be signed by every one of the 1,200 recruits and it will demand that congress make adequate appropriations and adopt the recommendations of the general staff. Yale graduates at the encampment took measures toward the organization of a battery at Yale college and passed resolutions- urging undergraduates to attend the future camps and calling on other colleges to follow suit. With a view of interesting the governors of states in the permanent camp idea, an invitation has been sent to the governors' congress at Boston inviting the executives to visit Plattsburgh. The permanent camp idea has caught on all over the country. Adjt. Johnston received requests today from North Carolina. Ohio, and Maryland, asking how they could establish camps in those states, and Arkansas wants to open a winter camp. SINKINGOF ARABIC WAS DUE TO TORPEDO (CONTINCED FBOM PAGE ONE.) though it is admitted that the chief obstacle will be, if the plan is tried out, opposition from those opposed to any "entangling alliance." Th;.i question, as well as the question of an immediate extra session of congress, will be held in abeyance until the final action on the Arabic is taken. Sec'y Lansing today declared that the question of whether the two Arable victims reported as Americans were really American citizens was not material. This was construed her.as meaning that the VJnited .States win base its position in the Arabic ease on the fact that the liv s of many bona nde American citizens were endangered. Ambassador Pa ere haH cabled a summary of the affidavit of American survivors of the Arabic to the state department. Sec'y of State Iansing admitted today. He said that as the information was only "fragmentary." none of it -would be iven out for publication. clom: fhontifk. ZURICH. Aug. 2 4. The Austro.Swiss frontier has been closed by Austria.
