PRICE TWO CKNTB BODIES WERE BUCKLED ' DEATH: Forms of Charlie Howell and Lizzie (ritfin Locked in Clone Km brace us They Mel Dealh in Lake in I'har (t,tle Body of Young Woman Tak en lo Monroe and Howell is Bur ied in Chariolle. Additional farts regarding the dou ble suicide in Charlotte in which a Salisbury young; ma?) was one of the principals is partly told as follows the Charlotte Observer of this morn ing: Whatever mystery enshrouded the disappearance of Charles B. Howell and Mistr Lizzie Griffin was resolved early yesterday morning when their bodies were discovered floating on the surface of the lake at Lakewood park. Fastened by a leather belt, the two forms were locked in a close embrace. It was thus they had embraced death together. What the efforts of searchers had failed to accomplish had been com passed by natural forces, for the rise of the bodies was automatic and thus added weight to the newer theory that the double suicide occurred on the night of Monday, Labor Day, instead of Tuesday night. The lapse of two and a half days is some tim ,s suffi cient to compel the waters to give up their dead. The funeral of Mr. Howell will be conducted this morning at 10:;i() o'clock from the Hovis undertaking establishment on North Tryon street. Interment will be at Elmwood. Mrs. Howell, mother of the deceased, ar rived yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock from Salisbury." A street car conductor now claims that the two left his car near Lake wood Monday night instead of Tues day. When discovered the woman was face upward, the man's face across her right shoulder, the woman's left m m under his left arm and encircling his body. , Miss Griffin wore on her left arm two handsome bracelets, a gold chain necklace, a signet ring on the third finger of the right hand and a cres cent gold pin on the . front of her waist, which was of white lace.

Jew elry and Numerous Other Articles Carried Off Office Furniture Ran sacked But No Money Secured. Thieves visited the Empire store on South Main street some time during last night and carried off a quantity of articles. They effected afl entrance through a read window on the second floor by placing b ladder and breaking a glass, then reaching through and releasing the fastener over the win dow arid raising the same. In going out the rear door was used. Among the articles missing are eight pair of shoes,' the thieves taking the shoes from the boxes am! leaving the latter scattered about the flooiv a number of shirts, ties, collar buttons, sock:, several articles of jewelry and other yuods. It is impossible to make an estimate of the goods carried away as the store is literally filled with mer chandise and much of this is hanging about and in show cases on display. The office on the rear balcony was vis ited and the drawers in the several desks ransacked, a waalso the cash register which had been left open when the store was closed but which contained no money, this always being e'epogited 5h the safe. The small stamp drawer in one of the desks was not bothered and in this was Man ager Moose's gold watch. One of the thieves changed shoes in the place and left his old ones and this may furnish p clue for the of ficers. It Ja believed that there were three and for reasons best known to the officers, who are now working; on the ease, there were two out-of-town nejrroeg and one local man engaged in the robbery. It is not known at what hour the entrance was effected - but it was after 10 o'clock as there was some one in the store until that hour.

Various reports have Raid the call if the railroad men upon the Presi dent was preliminary to a request for an increase in freight rates. West fin roads already are preparing such nciease for submission to the In terstate Commerce Commission. Un der the law the Kastern roads may not apply within 'he next two years fir increases on rates recently adjust ed by the companies. Eastern lines, however, are preparing to effect the economies the commissoin suggested by making charges for free services to large shippers and to increase their passenger fares. President Wilson's letter to Mr. I Irumbull reflected his confidence in the integrity and soundness of the American railroads and his view that they should not be the subject for agitation.

The Austrian Red Cross has issued a demand that all automobiles within the country be tuined over to be used for transport ing the wounded to places where they can be cared for. Every hospital in Vienna is full, all public buildings are full and private residences are being requisitioned for public use, but still train loads of wounded are being poured into the city. All accounts show that though the Austrians showed great bravery they have been outnumbered by the Russians who have pursued German tactics and hurl their entire force in the attack.

Asheville How the Service h Improved is Pointed Out. Asheville, Sept. 11. In welcoming Convention of Firel Marshals in their annual session that convened today here Hon. James K. Young, North Carolina commissioner nf insurance and fire marshal, treated at length the question of "How the Fire Marfhal van Best Enlist the Hearty Co-operation of Municipal Of ficers in Fire Prevention Work." He said the work of the fire marshal is practical and largely educational in impressing the magnitude of fire waste. Marshals and their deputies should go into communities in most friendly bpirit and do nothing detri mental to the people in knocking or criticising and demonstrate that the marshal can be of benefit in overcom ing a great evil in fire lossef.
