Chart Prepared by Prosecutor
Shows Impossibility of Slayer
Intending to Kill Dr. Carman.
Freeport, N. Y. —Investigation of
the murder on June 30th of Mrs.
> Louise Bailey, in the office of Dr. Ed
t win Carman lias ied District Attorney
Smith to form a new theory which is
1 in direct contradiction to that brought
forward by Dr. Carman that the mur
derer had planned to kill him and not
his patient.
A chart which the district attorney
has had prepared shows, he says, the
positions occupied by Dr. Carman and
Mrs. Bailey and shows that only the
narrowest part of the physician’s
shoulder could have been visible to
the slayer while an almost unob
structed view of Mrs. Bailey was ob
tainable. The district attorney also
declared he was satisfied “the shot
was fired by a person who knew every
inch, and intimately, of the inside of
the room in which the killing oc
curred.”
The grand jury will continue to sit
this week but if an indictment is
voted charging Mrs. Carman with the
crime is not expected before the end
jf the week.
TWO HOUSES ENTERED BY
MYSTERIOUS INVADERS
Robbers Have Chicken Supper
But Leave Valuables Un
touched. No Clue to Follow
As Yet.
Two burglar alarms wore received
at the police headquarters last night
between 10 and 11 o’clock.
The first call, shortly after 10 o’clock,
came from 412 Elbert street, an apart
ment house, of which Mrs. E. M. St.
Amand occupies the lower floor; Mr.
and Mrs. F. B. Morgan, the upper.
When Mrs. St. Amand returned to
/ the house about lb o’clock, the house
* ' having been deserted for an hour or
more, she found unmistakable traces
wher somebody had been rummaging.
She sent in the alarm to the police at
oee, not knowing at that time what
was missing from the house. It was
afterwards discovered that nothing had
been taken except some cooked chick
en from the ice-box.
The second burglar scare came from
the residence of Mr. H. L. Rubenstein,
803 Monument street, and turned out
to be even less fruitful than the other.
When the family came in from a round
of calls in the neighborhood they found
the house in great confusion. Bureau
drawers were pulled open and cloth
ing scattered about. But nothing
whatever was missing. Jewelry, sil
ver, and even a box of money on one
of the bureaus were untouched. Y lio
ever entered the house must hav done
so on a search for some particular
article which they did not find. It
is a most mystifying case.

Columbia Comers on the 13, 14 and 15.
When these IS consecutive games are
cancelled the Combacks will take a
short dash down to Savannah; from the
Indians' camp to that of the Sea Gulls
and then back home for the final series
scheduled as the winding up of the
South Atlantic League season in this
city. When this series has been oblit
erated the locals jump over to the “sis
ter city.” Columbia playing the last three
games of the South Atlantic League--
then bamb! the curtain drops on the
scheduled games of the Sallie—its all
over with the exception of the winner
of the second half playing Savannah for
the championship of the league.
Now, Augusta wants to play Savannah
for this championship—she has the best
chance, just to think of it, 18 straight
games at home, and the manner in
which they are sweeping all comers be
fore them—why as the dope stands, its
Augusta for the pennant!

ITIHSTIHER
Joint Study of Existing Condi
tions to be Made by Secy’s
Redfield and Houston.
Washington. —In the belief that the
methods used in exploiting timber re
sources vitally concern the public, sec
retaries Redfield and Houston have
completed plans for a joint study of
the question by their department. One
of the conditions which make the in
quiries of immediate importance, ac
cording to an announcement today, is
the fact that the standing timber, es
timated at about three thousand bil
lion feet, is being reduced of its
stumpage at the rate of pproximately
sixty billion feet annually. In spite
of this limited timber supply, lum
bermen are said to be unable to mar
ket much of tho poorer grades. It is
estimated from one-third to one-half
of the material in the trees is left in
the woods or burned in lumber mills.
Some of this waste is believed to be
preventable and much more, it is
hoped, can be saved under improved
conditions of marketing and use of
goods.
The studies will seek to establish
the esesntial facts relating to supply,
and to analyze the underlying causes
of present conditions which are de
clared to be unsatisfactory. The aim
will be to indicate measures which
should be adopted by the industry it
self or by the public in relation to the
industry.
