Drivers Ask Council For Protection During Interstate Fair Week.

Although only fix memhcrs of the city eoun'"il were present at the regular m-tin;r T the committee of the wliolo of that bo-ly at the city hall on Thursday nis'ht, those six members accomplished mo re In the way of civic problem regulation than has been dono in .several weeks. The most important feature of the m--tirvs' was the fact that the city attorney was instructed to irei.are an ordinance licensing the drivers of jitney buses, which ordinance will bo presented at the refcular meeting of th council Monday nU'ht. Three reprcsertative drivers f l,use3 were present at !he meeting. Iaiwt Hall Hill Dead. Th tlnnio hall ordinance presented to the council several weeks a'-?o by the dance hall committee, the drastic measure of which failed to please a majority of the coimcilmen, was disposed of forever. The ordinance committee to which the bill was refcred at the last me tins of the committee, of the wholo after two wclts of invfsiati'm reported unfavorably upon the ordinance, and after brief arguments In Its favor hy its backers, the report of the ordinance committee was adopted unanimously. However, the dance hall committee va.s iveii another chance. Mr. V. K. Miller, its chairman, who spoke in favor of the ordinance at length last ni;Tht, v :?.. advised that lier committee miht prepare a newer instrument with which the so-called "dance hall evil," miht be com batted. Whether this -action will be taken or not, was not stated last nh,ht. Ixxliu J!ou-e Question lp. The third iiint of discussion was rai-ed by Rabbi Abraliam Cronbach of Temple i;t'n-I-:i, Mi?s Carrie llein, ex-secretary of tiie Associated Chari-itie.-. Miss I-la Se..tt. present secretary of that body, Mrs. lifayette Lo Van and others. Thi- was in regard to tho institution of a municipal lodging hc-ise in the city. Mis llein and Mis.s Scott answered the questions of the council members and the other speakers spoke favorably in its behalf. Miss Ulen said that certain portions of the present city hall mk:ht bo reniodelud ami used for this purpose?, and that such a step wrulti save much expense in the first t ar's operation of tJio lod.in house. The speakers asked for an appropriatoin of L50. With this sum, it was said, tho lod.int? house could bo conducted for one year and after that time the. expense would be appreciably lowered. lAnnillo IFchl As Model. Miso Kein and Kabbi Cronbach told of the experiment of Evan.svillo, Ind., which city's lodinf liouse has been favorably commented upon by offici.ils and experts from other cities. Tho operation of such a place in .South Ilend, she said, would lift a burden from the community and would greatly ab! in the solution of the tramp .and hobo problem:. "Men who cuin' to South Bend to live off the charity of the city's citizens." said Miss llein, "would be presented with a ticket to the lodging liouse. Here they would be given clean beds and rooms, a bath and have their clothes thoroughly fumiKat d. For all this they would be compelled to accomplish certain bits of labor, assigned to them by the superintendent of the house "The fact, alone, that a bath would be compulsory, would cause many men of this type to tfo around tho c'.ty instead t coming into its conlim s to worry and annoy the housewives in the outlying districts." Thiam in:; a Queton. Chairman llut'cliiicr of the committee made a brief talk in reply to tho ;1(ln s-.i 't the r prt sentatives of the arbo:s charitable organizations. He comnit nteil upon the financial situation of the cit.y. di-clarin that certain items of expense wire so pressing at this time that real economy wa.s necessary. Other members of the council, while iaorably impressed with the project, state! that such a thine: would be practically impossible at the pr se:u time. Tho mutter will be Riven consideration at later meetings of the council. In dbcuslcn of the jitney hus sittiation. Cyrus Walters, who acted as spokesman for the committee of three drivers pnw nt. said: Want Outsiders lleculatcl. "We have come before this body to protect against the allowar.ee of bus drivers fnm other cities to come to South lh nd during sp(H-!al Kala occasions, and reap a harvest of nickels without having to pay some sort of lieer.se f t e. They will come here during the four days of the fair by the hundreds, and will take an enormous amount of business away from local drivers. For this they pay only the cost of tile gasoline it takes to vrct them to South Uend. "We :usk reflation of this class alone. If wo cannot irot that we ask that we all be treated alike, and be compelled to pay tho city ;in annual licenso fee, the Mzo of which may be determined by thi.s body. We ;ire not in favor of a small feo rathrr we would pr-for an annual fee of $30 to ?.".0 a ear. This will protect us, and there are hut a few of us who cannot af:"ord such a fco.

The loard of works also rj?ked for $50.". 75 for a similar purpos.-, and an ordinance to that zff :t wa.s reported upon favoin bly. An .;.di nance providing for the issuance of J 12.500 in municipal peneral purpos bonds vas reported favorably to the next meeting' of the council. The money obun-d in thin manner will be used in the paynent for a 20 acre tract of land just west of the Hinder plant, which the city will some time use for school purposes. In the early spring $ 1,000 was paid the owners with the ai cement that tl'p city should-pay $12, ."00 more within the year.

pur-

Details of the brutal methods

rued by William Kramer, formerly ot South Uend, oelf-confes.sed murderer of his father-in-law, Squire Collier, 71 years old, at the latter's home three miles south of Ca&sopolis, were made puhlic last nteht ly Undersheriff K. T. Uundy of that cit. It was to Lundy and to Deputy Sheriff Mixon, also of Cassopolis, that Kraner surrentlered himself Thursday morning at 5:40 o'clock after a night of horror spent at the (Jollier homestead and tho grounds adjoining. Kramer is SS years old. and has been separated from his wife, S'iuiri Collier's daughter, since June 14, 'M7). Their married life prior to that time, according to the wife's sohhing story to tho undersheriff, was mado dittteult and truculent by the husband's cruelty and his addiction to intoxicating liquors. Her father, she paid, urged her to seek legal separation and to return to his home. Ordered to Ix'avc. This, according to Kramer, was tho cause of a grudge which has lasted for years, although he and his wife lived under her father's roof. On June 14 Kramer was arrested by Dundy heeause he had threatened th'3 life of both his wife and her father. There wa.s u property settlement between him mid Mrs. Kramer at that time, and Kramer was release? under a peace bond of $250 and ais promLse to leave Michigan foicvcr. He went to Laporte and from there came to .South Uend. Here he sought

work as bartender, and secured such

a position. Thursday night, moved by a spirit of revenge Inspired, he said, by mueh brooding and melancholy because of the barrier between himsolf and his wife, he went to Cassopolus on a Grand Trunk passenger train, and walked the three miles to the Collier homestead. He opened the unlocked front door, entering the living room and lighted an oij lamp. A search for a weapon led him to the kitchen, where h pieked up a butcher knife from a tablo. Stain 3fan Twice. With this in one hand and the lamp in the other, he entered his wife's bedroom. At his first touch she awakened, and errorized by his ap piarance and the knife In his hana, screamed for help. Her aged father entered the room in his night garments, and. according to his daughter, unarmed, lie sought to eject Kramer, but the younger man plunged the long blade of his weapon twice into the older man's back, and as he fell, witn two sharp jabs, he tore deep wounfls in his head. One was just in front of Collier's left ear, and the other above his temple. Partially sobered by his deed. Kramer seized his wife's hand and lie, i into the yard. Mrs. Kramer, clad only In night garments, was dragged screaming, according to Dundy, Into a neighboring cornfield, her husband fusing to allow her to return to her

father, and himself afraid to enter j the house. ' After a time the wife persuaded : ICramcr to enr the barn. Here the ! two spent tiie night, and it was here j that Kramer hid his loaded and ur- ; used revolver in a pile of hay. At daybreak after a night of begging j and pleading, the wife had persuaded j her husband to surrender himself to j the authorities, and the two mai

their way to the otlice of Lndersheriif Dundy. The broken knife, the revolver and a half-empty whisky bottle are now in Ills possession. Kramer has been charged with murder In the first decree and has been hebl to the circuit court grand jury, wrdth will meet next week. He claims self-defence, saying that Coilier aLso was armed with a knife, but this is denied by tho w i f e. Coroner S. D Doupee of Vandalla impaneled a jury Thursday afternoon, but ad.1ourr.etl immediately until Mond;iv. Xo evidence was taken.
