THE REWARDS INCREASED
Savannah , Ga., Dec? 11. ? State
ments .of Mrs. Maggie Hunter, only
survivor of the three women who
were attacked and two of them killed
in their homethere yesterday after
noon, made in her delirium at tt)e
Savannah Hospital, where she hov
ers between life and death, canned I
the arrest of her husband, J. C. Hun- 1
ter. today.
Listening physicians and nurses
who have hoped to catch a definite
clue to the perpetrator of the crimes
which caused the deaths in terrible
fashions of aged Mrs. Eliza Qribble,
and her daughter, Mrs. Carle Ohland
er. heard Mrs. Hunter say that her
hnsband had struck h$r. The police
were immedlately\notified and Hun
ter was quickly found and taken Into
custody. Howovar, the police havfc
placed no charges against him.
. Desi^te_th|f sU^ement_mqde In the
Injured woman's delirious babbling,
few believe that anyone is guilty of
the crimes except the negro man now
missing, who was seen to enter the
house about the time of the murders
with an axe in his hands, and to
leave the building late. Tfie search
for the negro has not abated, yet he
seems to have disappeared as If swal
lowed up by the earth. To aid the
search for the. murderer. Governor
Brown, of Georgia, today added 13.00
to the reward already offered, mak
ing the total now $1,300.
Lato this afternoon a double funer
al was held with every mark "of "the
city's sorrow at the taking ofT of the
victims and horror at the brutality
of their murder. Mrs. Ohlander and
Mrs. Grlbble were burled and as evi
dence of the feeling here, the crowds
that were at the scene of the crime
respectfully stood back, and the two
caskets were followed by but a few
relatives of the. slain women as they
were taken to the graves.
Another Arrest Made.
With the arreat of William Walls
tonight it is possible the police have
taken a stride toward solving the
mystery of the. murder of Mrs. Eliza
. Grlbble and Mrs. Carrie Ohlander
and the fatal wounding of Mrs.^ Mag
gie Hunter here yesterday afternoon.
Though Walls Is not formally charg-i
ed with any crime yet he is closely
guarded at the jiolice station because
today the police found at hltwhome a
gray sweater fterked with blood and a
< oat badly Biftinpq. but wnitin nag not
yet been sufficiently well examined to
determine the nature of the stains.
The police bc^an their Investigations
In regard to Walls because they were
told that he had expressed an inten
tion -to visit the Grlbble home a few
minutes prior to the time of the rnur
ders and again appeared after they
nuuiL^iave occurred. He, It is said,
la a eouatn of Mrs. Hunter, who lato:
tonight Is unconscious In Savannah
ments 'In delirium from which the
' police hoped to learn something that
would point to the double murder,
having almost ceased. Lttle hope Is
entertained that she will live' more
than a few hours.
Despite the arrest of - Walls and
thei stories that his acqualntancea
have told of his oHlons on the day of
the 'murders the declarations of wit
nesses that the mtBsIng and suspected
negro roan was seen entering the
house of murders with the axe that
was used In the killing of the two
women in his hand, fi> regarded here
as furnishing the best clue to the
murder. However, the police will
continue to hold Walls and J.. C.
Hunter husband of the Injured worn
. an, according to their statements to
ptght.

THREE MILLION
IMS USED
EACH MINUTE
L , ? _
The Average Per Day
Seven Billion Matches Are Struck,
in the Woffif During Year ?
United States Consumes One
Half of This Amount.
IMPORTANCE OF INDUSTRY
By the end of the brief minute
taken to read these paragraphs the
nations of the civilized world will
have struck three million matches.
This is the average for every min
ute of the twenty-four hours of the
day. Seven billion Is the enormous
number for the entire year, and those
ll?!ng under the American flag are
said to be responsible for the con
sumption of one-half of this amount.
The importance of the fndustry
which turns out the little splinters
vf wood tipped with sulphur or some
ether material Ignited by friction is
only recognized when the average
smoker tries- to contemplate his pre
dicament if he had to go back to the
time* whon he had to coax a 'spark
from a tinder box. Of course, the
answer is, he would smoke a greal
inw because ofrthe difficulty in get
ting a light, or else, on the other
hand. Bmcke contlnously in order to
keep alive the .fire at the end of his
stogie or Havana, pipe or cigarette,
as the case might be.
Small and Insignificant as It is, the
match demands perhaps 'as muth at
tention In 'the choice, of the wood
going into its manufacture as any
other forest product. Only the
choicest portions of the best trees are
suitable. Sapwood, knotty or' cross
grained timber will not do. Instead
cf being a by-product of other arti
cles of manufacture th^ l\tle match
U turned out ftt hundredsN^f. ipills
over the country where tho by-pro
ducts are Jyilky objects like doors,
aaah. shingles, siding, nowta ?n>i mr,i
wood. The pines, linden, aspon,
white cedar, poplar, birch, and willow
are the most suitable match tim
bers.
The match makers ? not the matrl
monlal kind ? are already finding
that the amount of choice timber
available is dwindling. Forest eoi\:
nervation, if applied "to the holdings [
,?fc*the match companies, like, it is
on Uncle Sam's N*atltfnal Forests In |
tho West, will do much to make the
Tfipply sufficient for a longer number1
of years than would be the case if
the old-time wasted lumbering meth
ods of a few years ago nhould con
tinue. The rapid increase in stump
age prices is one of the chief factors
lu encouraging the wise use of the
forests where suitable match timber
it; available.

Yesterday was a busy day with the

WER&GIVEN OVATION
I New York. Dec. TJK ? One of the
most thrilling m Id-alt rescues ever
effected by New Yoffc firemen was
made by three men or truck 24 in
the course of a $20,000 Are in the
seven story loft and office building
at 1428 Broadway today. Mrs. Caro
line Richmond was sden in the win
dow of her jn?xrfcurlng parlor on the
fourth flotfr, wringing her hands and
apparently making ready to jump
with clouds of smoke and an oc
casional tongue of flames showing
behind her. Firemen Robert Netaon
ran up the extension ladder, which
was seen to be several feet short,
carrying a light scaliBg ladder.
!looklng..this on the sill of the win
dow above he mounted to where the
woman had fallen unconscious across
the sill. ( >?
By thto time a Bheet of flame had
burst from the window below.
With the unconscious woman over
his shoulder Nelson climbed half way
down the scaling ladder to a point
between the two floors.
In the meantime a longer exten
sion ladder had been run up to the
fourth floor far enough aside to es
cape the flames from the window be
low. Firemen Edv^prd Keegan and
Patrick Kerwln moufled until they
weiv but a fuut away from-Nelson
and his helpless burden. But appar
ently that foot could not be bridged,
and Nelson ' and the woman were
doomed.
Then came the almost miraculous
rescue. ' . * .?

bending over until he could gra?p
the hook of the scaling ladder, swung
it and its two occupants clear of the
window ail! and with herculean
strength, swung It, pendulum-wise,
until its sweep, was sufficiently wide
to permit the lower-end to be grap

Keegan stood. The rest was easy

JURORS NARROW ESCAPE
Charlotte, X. C., Dec. 11. ? That
the convicts of Menklenhnrg oat u ith
chips and pieces of bark, is the start
ling disclosure raadi; by the regular
report of the grand Jury, which late,
today completed Its bIx months' term
of service under Judge James Webb,
and there is great danger in letting'
run loose the "so-called" blood
hounds at the convict camps ,is an
other declaration of thrf grand jury,
following the narroV escape of a
Juror who was attacked viciously by'
a dog and was saved only in the nick
of thae.
We recommend, says the report
submitted today:
"That the dogs at the camp be
h?/ld In leash, at least during thb
day, as one of the grand jurors, while
Inspecting the camp, was attacked by
one of the- so-called bloodhounds
which was finally subdued after a
fierce fight. We deem it a menace
to the public to let these beasts run
at large In the day time."
In regard to the lack of means for
translerrlng their food from the lit
tle plates of tin to their mouths at
meal time, at the camps, the grand
?Jury says:
' "We recommend that apoons be
furnished the convicts to eat dinner,
as we found moBt of the convicts eat
ing dinner with chips and pieces of
bark."
What excuse the keepers of the
three camps in Mecklenburg county,
with their seventy-five to one hun
dred chargaa. will make to, thla sen
sational report" is not known, as the
camps are located out in the country
and are not easy of access. The grand
Jury was perhaps reduced to a state
of mind bordering on paranois by the
vicious attack of the so-called blood
hound. and was not In a frame of
mind to hurl over many bouquets at
the managers of the camps and
those who look after the convicts'
welfare. It should be said, however.
that this Jury, which so stirred the
wrath "of the cannlea about the camps
reported that tjie^onvicts were well I
fed and clothed, atjd had sanitary ad
visary quarters.

Hie~microphone picks up a sound it
deflects the rudders In such a manner
as to guide the torpedo straight to
the source of the sound waves. Prop

the torpedo will pick up the propell

Further than this It Is claimed that
the mechanism is' such that it can be
so adjusted that the torpedo will
strike not At the immediate origin of
the sound, but, thirty or forty yards
to the Tight or left of the sojind, at
the will of the manipulator. The
feature, if proven, would make it pos
