1,800 BOSTON STREETS TO BE GIVEN NEW NAMES

LONG LINES, SOFT FABRICS SLENDERIZE THE FIGU.'

Duplication in the Names of Thoroughfares Reaches 3,000, Commissioner Learns. Boston.—With u movement under way to change the names of nearly 1,800 Boston thoroughfares, this city's tangled street situation, ever the bane of the visitors and travelers, may he unraveled by next year, In so far as duplication In names is concerned. Chairman John H. L. Noyes of the street commissioners has laid plans for one of the greatest municipal christening parties ever carried out. Impressed more and more by the complications arising from the repetition of identical street names in various districts of the city, and sometimes even in the same district. Chairman Noyes has amassed figures and facts showing that Boston has six Washington streets and five Washington places within the city limits, not including Washington Street North. He has found that there are six streets named after the well-known Adams family and that in addition four “blind alleys - ’ in various streets go by the name of “Adams place.” Six other streets bear the name "West.” Altogether, the number of duplications' reaches the enormous total of 3,100—this out of an aggregate of !5,484 avenues, courts, parks, places, roads, squares, streets and terraces. On the list of 3,100 street names where duplication occurs approximately 1,300 distinctly different names appear. Basing their calculation on these figures, the officials have estimated that ttie difference represents the number of streets which must he renamed, approximately 1,800 in all. Farther perusal of the city’s street Itets reveals five Auburn streets, five Austin streets, five Elm streets, five Everett streets, five High streets, five Park streels, five School streets and five Water streets. There are five separate Lincoln places. There are four Brook streets and three Brooks places. Four streets bear the name of Allen and four more are named Allston. Similar instances occur almost indefinitely. Chairman Noyes has admitted the magnitude of his task in finding 1,800 new names for thoroughfares. Besides soliciting suggestions from Bostonians, ids hoard will study the street lists of other cities and towns in the United States, hoping here and tiiere to find a name as yet unused in Boston.

Scarlet Fever Serum Is Pronounced Successful Baltimore.—A new serum which is said to give promise of revolutionizing the method of treating scarlet fever has been tried out with “very favorable’’ results in IS cases at the Sydenham hospital here. The new curative is being developed by Dr. Alphons Raymond Dochez, an associate professor of medicine at Columbia university, and its successful use lias also been reported by hospitals in New York, New Haven, Conn., and

Peking.

Injection of the new potion into muscles of the patient is said generally to have the effect of reducing the temperafnre to normal In about twelve hours, and in practically every case the rash accompanying the fever also is dispelled. It. Byrekhead Macgowan, superintendent of the Sydenham hospital, explained that the serum is almost alone In the field of scarlet fever treatments, it is produced through immunization of horses and is the result of experiments conducted by Doctor Dochez rince about 1917.

GENEVA, 111., June 21 (United Press)—Tie sanity trial of Warren J. Lincoln. Aurora, who confessed slaying hi wife, Mrs. Lina Shoup | Lincoln j and her brother, Byron j Shoup, is cbieduled to begin in the j Circuit Chart here Monday. Lincoln j confessed to one of the most sensa- I tional murders in the history of Illi-1

imis.

On the result of the trial hangs the | immediate fate of Lincoln, former! lawyer and horiculturist. If the jury finds him sane, he will i face trial for murder, and the death ! sente not will be asked, according to 1 State's Attorney Charles Abbott. If the jury pronounces him insane ■ Lincoln will be sent to the peniten- I tiary for the criminal insane at Clies- j ter. ! ■ Should lie recover while there, he ' would be delivered to Kane county authorities and tried for murder. Whether Lincoln was sane at the time of the alleged murders will not be gone into, lawyers said. The morbid and peculiar circum- ! stances surrounding the alleged | crimes, however, have brought forth 1 a variety of opinions about Lincoln’s I mental condition from alienists and j lawyers. Alienists employed by the prosecu- ; tion, including Dr. R. A. Hilton, su- j perintendent of the State Hospital for the Insane, at Elgin, and Dr. J. H. ■Gagahagan, superintendent of the ( Mercyville sanitarium, have declared | Lincoln sane. Lincoln .they said, must have been ; sane, or he would not have cut up the i bodies of his victims, put the heads in j a sack, and burned the remainder of j the bodies. According to the state’s I alienists, insane men do not mutilate, the bodies of their victims, but on the i contrary walk away without touching j

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT OF GAS

A smoother running motor— that’s what you will have when you use Hot Spot Gasoline. A quicker steadier pick-up. More power. Less carbon—no knocking. Greater mileage per gallon! Because Hot Spot is unblended, undiluted and clean. Because it is a straight run gas. Because every bit of Hot Spot goes into your power when it enters the cylinders of your motor. In spite of the many superior qualities of Hot Spot Gasoline—it costs no more. HOT SPOT GASOLINE CO. OF GREENCASTLE

them.

However, much opinion is divided | about Lincoln’s sanity, it is agreed I that the crimes were the work of a morbid intellect. The most ghastly j of the tales of Edgar Allen Poe hard- ! ly equals in horror the story Lincoln ;

confessed to Aurora police.

( Lincoln related that he killed his i wife and brother-in-law because he ! discovered them in an act of unlaw- \ ful intimacy together. Authorities | doubted that part of the story. He j said that he then severed each of his victims’ heads from their bodies. After carrying the bodies to his greenhouse, near the Lincoln home, he said he crammed them into the furnace there and burned them to ashes. But Lincoln apparently did not want to destroy all symbols of his “revenge.” He told how he wrapped the heads of his widow and her brother in pieces of burlap, then placed them in a box, into which he poured concrete. When the concrete had hardened, Lincoln put the heavy slab that concealed his secret under a porch of his home, he said. It made a good support, and he liked to see it there, he said. Lincoln finally became tired of seeing the slab and he

carted it to the city dump.

But he didn’t forget it It was Lincol nwho pointed the slab out to

Aurora police. When they opened it and removed the burlap, the detrunkated heads if the victims stared out

at them. „

Lincoln has been showing remarkable peace-of-mind during his imprisonment without bail at the county jail here. Occupying a cell by himself he has spent much time in lei-

surely reading.

“Since we brought him to Geneva he has become so fat that he’s outi grown his clothes,” Cecil Reilly, his I jailer, said. “But he’s the best behav-

1 ed prisoner we have.”
