WIDOW HILLED BY JEALOUS SOLDIER Murderer Has Hole in Lung and May Not Live New York, Aug. 7.—Two children, neither over seven years old, darted breathlessly into’the West One Hun- dredth Street Police Station at 7 o’clock last evening and cried to the lieutenant on duty that they had just seen a man kill a woman in a bedroom on the ground floor of the tenement house at 66 West One Hundredth Street. Then the children rushed out and disappeared down the block. Detectives Sullivan and Westervelt found a large crowd in front of the house and were told that the murder had occurred in the apartment of Mrs. Christina Morgan. They knocked at the kitchen door and were admitted by Mrs. Morgan, who pointed to the parlor. She was greatly excited and could give no account of what had oc- curred. R The detectives found the door from the parlor into & bedroom ajar and pushed their way in. On the bed, Partly dressed, lay the body of Mrs. Anna Willams, a widow, 26 vyears old. By her side was a man who de- scribed himself as Private Louis Wat- son, & member of the Sixth Company, United States Coast Artillery, Fort Hancock. He sald he cooked for that company. Later he said his right name was Louis Zavaten of 160 Eagle Street, Brooklyn. He was in citizen's clothes. Watson had a bullet hole in his chest and was seen to be mortally ‘wounded. “Who killed the woman ?"” Detective ‘Westervelt asked him. “I did; we quarrelled,” the detec- tives say he replied. Then he became unconscious. The detectives sent to Xnicker- bocker Hospital for an ambulance. They found a pistol on the bed and there were papers showing that the man was known at the fort as Watson. Mrs. Morgan told the detectives that Mrs. Williams, a widow, was a waitress and had rented rooms of her before. Watson, she said, had called on her frequntly. Yesterday they had a quarrel and Mrs. Willilams said she and Watson would go into the front room and ‘“talk it over”. Some time after this Mrs. Morgan heard the shots. g ‘Watson was taken to Knickerbocker Hospital. The bullet passed through the left lung and physicians say he has little chance to recover. An ex- amination of Mrs. Willams' body showed she had been shot twice in the back and once in the left breast. The last shot reached the heart. The police believe jealousy was the motive.

St. Johns, Aug. 7.—A serious short- age in salt is causing much incon- venlence to the fisheries interests in Newfoundland. Arrangements made some time ago to provide for the needs of the present year have proved in- adequate. The government has now commandeered all available stocks of salt in the colony and arranged for their distribution among the fishermen ta the fullest extent possible until ad- ditional supplies can be obtained from agroad. The ships laden with this commodity and bound for this port were torpedoed. HELPING THE SAILORS. Boston, Aug 7.—A report just com- pleted by Mrs. Willlam R.

Robert Savarin and I stood side by side on the veranda of the old Brennan house at Marvin, mutely watching the taxi which was bearing Dicky, Lillian Underwood and Lilllan’s little girl, Marion, to the railroad station in time for the city-bound train. It was not until the taxi became a mere spect in the distance that we turned as if by mutual consent—although still saying nothing—and went into the living room. I did not know what Robert Sav- arin’s thoughts were, but my own brain was busy with the unexpected .complication of Lillian’s life-problem which her sudden and ridiculous jealousy of my friendship with the artist had brought to me. I knew that Lillian herself, big, frank, loyal woman that she is, was not aware of the nature of her feeling toward me, and that when she dlid realize it she would stamp it out with inflexible firmness. But the look of resentment, unconscious though it was, with which she had answered Robert Savarin’s reference to asking my ad- vice had revealed to me as by & ligtning flash the difficulties of helping to solve Lillian's problem. Dicky's unreasaning jealousy, Which always greets the most casual ac- quaintanceship of mine with any man, was already beginning to simmer against Robert Savarin. But I did not think the attack would be as serious as others he had had. In the first place, Mr. Savarin is pearly as old as my own father; in the second place, Dicky has a great reverence for the elder artist’s genius, and, in the third place, Robert Savarin’s interest in Lillian Underwood was so plainly im evidence that Dicky could not fail to see it soon. “What Do You Mean.”, I had been thinging so intently of the mental vagaries of my husband and of my dearest friend that I failed to hear Robert Savarin when he first spoke to me after entering the living room. When he repeated his ques- tion he was smiling. ““Would it inconvenience you, Mrs. Graham, to take a walk with me?” he asked. “It really is too glorious a day to spend indoors, and I fancy I should like to see a bit of the country out here. Besides, I shall not have so good an opportunity soon again.” “Why! what do you mean, Mr. Sav- arin? I faltered, perceiving, or fancying I did, an undercurrent of meaning beneath his words. ‘‘Surely there will be plenty of other oppor- tunities for you to see our nheighbor- hood in the time you are to spend with us. But I shall be very glad to go with you this morning, for indeed it 1s too wonderiul a day to spend indoors.” There was that about the smile with which he answered me that made a feeling as of pity clutch my heart. “Dear lady,” he said, “It will not be possible for me to stay at your home the length of time I had planned. Of course I shall attend Mrs. Under- wood’s dinner tonight, but even at the risk of seeming ungracious. I must start back home tomorrow or the next day at the latest.” “But—why—?"" I began, startled and a bit worried because our plans had been made for a week's entertain- ment of the artist. “1 will tell you out of doors,” he re- turned. “Won't you get our wraps and take that walk now? . I feel as if 1 should stifie if I stayed under a roof this morning.” There was about his manner a some- thing that lent wings to my feet as 1 ran upstairs for my wraps. It would be an injustice to describe it as a touch of wildness, and yet that was the thought of it which came to my mind as I hurried on a heavy sweater and a cap, which were all the day re- quired for a brisk walk. \ “A Wise Thing.” But the restnessness there unde- nlably Was, and I wondered vaguely and uneasily if there were any danger | of his losing again the delicate mental balance restored to him so short ay time. I am a good walker, but I found that I had all I could do to keep up with Mr. Savarin, wha, evidently for- getting his usual courtesy, strode along the hard-packed winding road as though he were alone. It was a glor- fous March day, and althaugh the air was brisk, there was the promise of spring in it. If I had not had to Tush along so fast, I should have thorough- Iy enjoyed the walk. I had purposely taken him along the road to the rustic bridge spanning the beautiful little brook Dicky and I had explored on our first visit to Marvin. It was the prettiest bit of woods and water anywhere near Marvin, and I knew that the artist soul of Robert Savarin would rejoice in it. The sight of the clear little stream wandering through the trees seemed to calm the unnatural restlessness of the man. He stopped short at sight of it and gazed at it for a long time. Then he turned to me abruptly. “You have done a wise thing, Mrs. Graham. A look at a brook or a lake always calms me when I most need it. This has exercised the devils swiftly. ‘Will' you take cald, do you think, if we stop here a little while? I want to tell you a story and to ask your counsel.” Menu for Tomorrow Breakfast.

SIDE TALKS BY RUTH CAMERON N ST Blessed Be Budgets “Now I've got that nice wicker furniture that old couch spoils the looks of the room so I've just ordered a wicker davenport. I didn't mean to get it quite yet but it seems foolish to spoil the whole room that way. John thinks its rather extravagant but I say it would be extravgant not to because it would mean that I had practically thrown away all the money I've spent so far.” So one of my neighbors justifies to herself the expenditure of more money than she can really afford. (She doesn’t exactly say she can't af- ford it but I know she can’t by the uneasy fervor of that justification.) Was ever anything easier to jus- tify than spending more money than one can afford; He Felt He Ought to Buy a More Expensive Car. 1 heard a man give a most in- genious justification of buying a more xpensive car than he had intended the other day,—the cheaper make he had meant to buy was so common that it was more easily stolen and he didn't think he ought to run that risk. And he sald it so earnestly too. There was no doubt that he had quite convinced himself. But my neighbor's Justification was the one I wanted especially to speak about because it is the com- monest type. What's the use of an extra nice suit if you haven’t an equally good looking hat to go with it? And Then Your Bag Looks Shabby. And then when yss have strained a point and bought an extra’expen- sive new hat instead of making your Jast year’s ono do (as you promised yourself when you were persuading yourself that it would he all right to buy that expensive suit) your bag looks shabby. And of course you'd spoil the whole effect if you didn't have silk stockings. It's a good argument, a perfectly good argument. But there's one fun- ny thing about it. And that is that people seldom if ever bring it to bear when they are buying the first ex- pensive thing, instead of afterwards. ‘Why Don’t They Sometimes Have Forethoughts ? Why don’t they sometimes say, “I had better not buy too expensive a suit. It won't go with the rest of my clothes?” Why indeed? Because we are all weak human beings with a passionate, foolish ineradicable craving ‘for more and costlier pos- sessions than our neighbors? There’s just one way I know to bring oneself into line. And that is to have a budget and stick to it. To have a certain amount for each de- partment and to know that if you Bet a too expensive suit you can't get other things to match. Blessed be budgets, I say. They are the best flnancial sheet anchor I know of. Only, of course you've &ot to have for a cable the strength of mind to stick to them. ——— e STARS SIGNED UP FOR FOX THEATER Under the impression that the best way to satisfy patrons is to glve them a good deal more than their money's worth, the management of Fox's thea- ter has secured the best pictures and the most popular stars obtainable at any price for the balance of the pres- ent season. As an indication of the | quality of pictures soon to be ex- hibited, the following stars will be | shown during the remainder of the this month: George Walsh, Dustin Farnum, Theda Bara, Charlie Chap- ' lin, Gladys Brockwell, Emmy Wehlen, Earl Williams, Alice Joyce, Harry Morey, Kitty Gordon, Viola Dana, Mabel Taliaferro, and many other top-notchers. Kox's can easily claim the distinction of being the only thea- ter in Connecticut showing such stars as a regular program for five and ten cents. “The Wrath of Love,” the first five part Fox production in which ' the charming Virginia Pearson plays the lead, and which is the feature of the present Fox program, sprung into in- stantaneous favor with the large | audiences that witnessed its initial showings yesterday. Charlie Chap- lin is running true to form as a laugh-getter, and is making the spec- tators howl as loud and gleefully at his funny antics in the return en- gagement of “The Woman,” one of the best pictures he ever made, as he did when it first appeared here. A laughable domestic episode is pres- sented by Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Drew in “Her Anniversaries,” in which, to redeem himself for having forgotten the anniversary of the first biscuit his wife baked, Sidney determines to re- member their wedding anniversary in elegant style. An extremely Interest- ing Ford Weekly is among the other features of an excellent bill. Tomorrow's headline production will be Beatrice Michelena’'s greatest work, “The Woman Who Dared,” n powerful seven act drama with a most unusual and gripping story. In- terest and excitement are main- tained throughout the entire seveu reels. There will be no advance in prices. RICHARD’S SHOW HERE ON MONDAY The announcement that R. T. Rich- ard's Supreme Show of the World will exhibit here Monday, August 13, should create interest because of the unstinted praise of. the performance and equipment from places where it has been scen. It is an entirely new amusement enterprise and, according to all reports, its list of performers includes not only the best in their lines but the manner in which the show {s presented is a new departure in the circus world likely to be widely copied because of its pronounced suc- cess. The Supreme Show of the World is all that its name implies. Its equip- ment surpasses all others because it is of the most modern construction. Its beautiful wagons and superb horses alone will constitute an art exhibition of hand carving and a horse fair. Its paraphernalia is the last word not only from the viewpoint of beauty but from that of the safety and comfort of the audience as well. Its big show tent is more than 200 feet in length and is illuminated by a traveling pow- er plant which furnishes 32,000 candle power, more lighting than has ever been used by a circus before. The “big top” will seat several thousand persons in a manner so comfortable that it will be a revelation to those who have endured other methods. R. T. Richard's, the new figure in his time and spent close to $1,000,000 in assembling the Supreme Show of the World betore starting on the road to glve public exhibitions.

The bill sparkles with a varied number of attractions. First on the program is a snappy exhibi- tion of acrobatic stunts by Tafecatt. Tafcatt goes through a series of stunts both novel and entertaining. Following him on the bill is a sketch given by Fields and Hanson. In their offering “The Minstrels” these two entertainers are receiving applause both evening and afternoon that tes- tifies to the character of their offer- ing. Last on the program is a new sketch entitled “Days in Dixie,” of- fered by a troupe of colored boys and girls from the south. This sketch also comes in for its share of the ap- plause. The comedians are of a grade superior to the ones that usually travel this circuit. In addition to the vaudeville of- ferfhgs there are also all the latest releases in photoplays. Hearst Pathe news plays & prominent part on the program this week. Included also is another “O. Henry story.” GEN. MARCH TO BE CHIEF ARTILLERIST OF ARMY IN FRANCE GEN,.PEYTON C.
