UNPREPARED FOR MATRIMONIAL VOYAGE, GIRL OF 22
AND MAN OF 55 DRINK CARBOLIC ACID
Bodies of Catherine Whipple and Arthur L. Clark, of Auburn, Found on Steps of
Cottage at Owasco Lake -- Dead Since Wednesday
Auburn, April 18 - The bodies of Arthur L. CLARK, 55 years old, of
34 Morris street, and Catherine WHIPPLE, 22 years old, of 38 1/2 Morris street,
of this city, were found to-day on the porch of the summer home on the shore of
Owasco lake of F. G. TEN EYCK, an Auburn manufacturer, by Howard BURGESS, a lad
of 14, who was spending Sunday at the nearby cottage of his father, John
BURGESS, and in walking along the lake shore saw the forms of the man and the
woman.
Two bottles, one of two ounces and the other four, the latter of
which still contained a small quantity of carbolic acid, and two tumblers beside
the forms of the dead man and woman told all too plainly that they had taken
their own lives.
Pinned to the inside of the stylish coat of the woman's suit with a
safety pin was a note, written on a card and inclosed in an unsealed envelope,
addressed to Eben M. WALKER, an undertaker of this city. This note supplied
anything that was lacking to prove that the young girl and the man old enough to
be her father, had been infatuated with each other, and, unprepared to meet the
battles of life which would come to them in the marriage union, had determined
to end it all together. The note was as follows:
April 14, 1915
Mr. WALKER
Please notify our people of this incident. We have nothing to live
for, therefore we are better off dead. All necessary articles for laying me out
will be found in the top drawer of the white dresser. People should not mourn
for the dead, but envy them the peace they have. The other party is Mr. Arthur
L. CLARK, aged 55, of No. 34 Morris street. Don't blame the clerk for selling
the carbolic acid. It's the best deed he has done.
Catherine WHIPPLE
Aged 22,
38 1/2 Morris street.
TRY TO SHIELD DRUGGIST
From the labels on the two bottles found on the porch the name of
the druggist or druggists who had sold the acid had been crased so carefully
that it was apparent that the pair were mindful of trouble for others and wished
to take to themselves the consequences of the act which they had apparently so
carefully planned and carried out.
CLARK made his home for several months with Mr. and Mrs. BRISTER.
He had traveled about the country, working at various occupations, but for
several months has had no employment. Miss WHIPPLE assisted her mother and
sister in the housework at home and had plenty of time to herself, CLARK living
but two doors away, paid marked attention to the girl and they were frequently
in each other's company. But it is said that it was not until a few weeks ago
that the relatives of the girl began to feel that there was more than platonic
friendship between them.
It is said that the girl did not deny that she was fond of CLARK
but did not confirm the theory of her relatives.
Last Wednesday afternoon she left home, saying that she was going
down town. CLARK left the BRISTER home the same afternoon without saying where
he was going. He had been talking recently of going to Rochester where he
believed he could obtain work and where he once worked in the Eastman plant, and
when he failed to return home that night it was surmised that he had carried out
that intention. When the girl also failed to come home her people and the
BRISTERS believed that the pair had gone away together in search of employment
and their absence was not reported to the authorities.
TRIED TO FOLD HER TO HIM
Raymond STEELE, a boy some older than BURGESS, was doing some work
at a nearby cottage and came to the assistance of BURGESS. The right arm of the
girl was under the head of CLARK and his arm in a position to indicate that he
had tried to fold her to him.
From the farm house of Arthur PIERCE, some distance away, the boys
telephoned to Justice of the Peace I. E. PEARSON at the foot of the lake and he
went to the cottage. He notified Coroner Andrew J. FORMAN and Undertaker WALKER.
The coroner found that the man and woman had been dead for several days,
probably Wednesday, judging from the date of the note found on the girl.
The parents of the girl and the sister of CLARK were notified and
both were prostrated, being under the care of physicians to-night. The bodies
were taken to the WALKER undertaking establishment and Coroner FORMAN instituted
an inquiry to establish the movements of the pair from the time they left home
on Wednesday afternoon. A few cents in the girl's pocketbook which was beside
her and no money on the person of CLARK told that they were not fixed
financially to undertake a matrimonial voyage together and they had decided to
end all.
Besides her parents, Miss WHIPPLE leaves one sister, Miss Bertha
WHIPPLE, and two brothers, Bert and Charles WHIPPLE, all of whom live in this
city. Mrs. BRISTER, sister, and his mother are CLARK'S only relatives.

'SOCIAL CLUBS' POPULAR IN PITTSFORD? ASK THE LEAGUE
You'll Learn About the Arrest of Patrick N. Hackett and Several Others.
Pittsford, April 18 - This isn't a very large village. It's dry, and its
citizens intend to keep it so, but life has moved at more than a leisurely rate
of speed of late. Mary ZEBLE and Matthew ZEBLE, who conducted the Cottage Saloon
in Main street, near the canal, are in the Monroe county jail. Patrick N.
HACKETT, of the Spring House, in Monroe avenue, near the Brighton town line, is
at liberty because bail was furnished by friends after his arrest, and Henry S.
ELDREDGE, of the Phoenix Hotel and the Pittsford Social Club, and several others
are said to have left town rather hurriedly. No, life in Pittsford isn't very
slow.
Activity of the State Excise Department, prompted by the Citizens'
League of Pittsford, is responsible for this stir. The Citizens' League, which
was organized in a public meeting last fall, has for its object "the
promotion of civic righteousness, and the civic betterment of this community,
with special attention to the preservation of the present dry status of the town
under the local option provisions of the liquor tax law." At any attempts
to violate the law the league members look as_ance, and they couldn't see for a
moment why the two words "social" and "club" made the sale
of liquor any more legal.
EXCISE OFFICIALS PAY VISIT
On Friday last word went around that representatives of the State
Excise Department were in town. Attorney W. H. RILEY, of Binghamton, law partner
of State Excise Commissioner FARLEY, had come with a marshal and a stenographer,
to co-operate with the League, of which Attorney John H. AGATE was the
representative. Officer L. H. LUSK, of Pittsford, already was busy serving
subpoenas in "John Doe" proceedings before Justice P. W. ZOLLMAN in
the Town Hall.
These proceedings, began Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock and
continued all day Saturday. They were directed against the illegal sale of
liquor in Pittsford and especially, mark you, against such sale under the guise
of so-called "social clubs." Nearly forty witnesses were sworn and
examined.
There has been in some localities in the state enterprise to evade
the law by the organization of "clubs" in dry towns. This species of
evasion the department is determined to exterminate, and on March 4th issued a
bulletin to the effect that "such handling of liquors" was "no
more legal or respectable than if it were the act of an ordinary citizen."
BAN ON "SOCIAL CLUBS."
The Pittsford Social Club was engineered and incorporated last
winter, it is alleged, under the auspices of Henry S. ELDREDGE, the Phoenic
Hotel landlord. In February the Citizens' League brought it to the attention of
the State Excise Department, and the bulletin was the result. As no attention,
other than defiance, was paid to this warning, special agents of the department
were sent to Pittsford to investigate. For several weeks the league has been
expecting further action by the department and has been accumulating additional
evidence of bolder violations. Hence, when the proceedings opened, it is claimed
they were well organized and directed.
As the news spread several citizens thought of business out of town
requiring their attention and left in great haste. This added humor to the
situation. On Saturday afternoon the ZEBICS(?) were arrested and incarcerated
when they could not give bail. Their case is set for Tuesday.
On Saturday night the Spring House proprietor, Patrick N. HACKETT,
formerly of the Hackett House, Rochester, was arrested. Bail was furnished by W.
H. MURRAY and B. N. WILTSIE and his case was set for Thursday.
ELDREDGE SAID TO BE IN BAD
Warrants were issued for Mein Host ELDREDGE, but it is said he
escaped. It is rumored here that he has been heard from and intends to return
and face the consequences. His case is looked upon as serious, numerous
violations being alleged. The penalty for each offense is a fine of not less
than $200, nor more than $1,200, and also imprisonment for a term of not less
than thirty days nor more than one year. ELDREDGE formerly was a Rochester man.
Other cases are to be dealt with later. Reports of the
"club" evasion had become general among the citizens of Pittsford,
many of whom were unaware that the State Department had taken the matter in
hand. Because of this lack of information, fault was being found with the
officers of the league. The league is now receiving congratulations.
SPENCERPORT ELECTRIC BONDS SOLD
Spencerport, April 18 - The $16,000 electricity bonds of the
village of Spencerport were sold by the village trustees on Friday evening. Four

ONE NIGHT ENOUGH
Albion Lad Soon Cured of the Wanderlust and Is Home Again
Albion, April 18 - Allen PORTER, the 12-year-old son of Wells
PORTER, a local musical instrument dealer, was struck with the wanderlust
Saturday and leaving a note on the table of the East State street home of his
father suddenly disappeared after attending a moving picture performance.
The police, family of the boy, and many friends carried on an
endless search for him until about 9:30 this morning when a telephone message
from Superintendent Fred STANDISH, at Mount Albion informed the anxious father
that the boy was at his home. The boy walked about nine miles Saturday afternoon
and stayed at the farmhouse of a family named LYNCH overnight. He had never been
away from home before and the _oveity soon wore off this morning and he accepted
a ride on the first conveyance headed homeward.

WILL BEAUTIFY EAST ROCHESTER
Board of Trade Announces Suggestions and Plans
For New Trolley Station
Resolutions Adopted That the Board Co-operate with the Empire United Railway in
Building New Station -- Improvements Planned
East Rochester, April 18 - A meeting of the directors of the East
Rochester Board of Trade was held in the assembly room of the Fire Hall last
evening. A number of suggestions were presented regarding matters which will
tend to beautify the village, and the special committee on Building Ordinance
reported that an ordinance is now being drafted, and that as soon as it is
completed, will be presented to the Village Board.
The matter of paving Commercial street was taken up, but it was
decided to discuss the question more thoroughly at the monthly Board of Trade,
meeting, which will be held Monday evening.
A representative of an ornamental street lighting contracting
company, of Rochester, was present and tendered a proposition for the proper
lighting of Commercial street, between Washington and Madison streets, the work
to be completed before the street is paved.
The following suggestion was received, and after being discussed
was put in the hands of the Public Service and Corporation Committee, with power
to act: "Whereas, the Empire United Railway Company has not a suitable
station in this village, it is hereby suggested that this Board of Trade
co-operate with the said railway company to secure for our village a suitable
passenger, freight and express depot."
An anonymous communication, which offered a number of good
suggestions regarding the improvement of conditions in East Rochester, which had
been received by the secretary, was also read. After the several suggestions had
been discussed, President Emory D. LAPHAM turned the letter over to the
Commercial and Industrial Committee, which will make a report in the near
future.
At the monthly meeting to-morrow evening R. PARKINSON, manager of
the Despatch Heat, Light and Power Company, and Harry GOODWIN, president of the
Rochester Ad Club, and president of the Myers Advertising Agency, of Rochester,
will be the speakers.
There is considerable work to be accomplished in the upbuilding of
the town and beautifying of the ugly spots in this village and the Board of
Trade is doing all in its power to carry out the plans and propositions that
have been mapped out.
Many propositions of interest are to be brought before the members
to-morrow evening for discussion, according to the secretary.

TO ARGUE FOR NEW TRIAL FOR DUNN
Attorney for Man Convicted of Murder, in Albany
Corning, April 18 - The argument for a new trial for David DUNN,
convicted of the murder here of Harry EDWARDS, in February, 1914, will be heard
before the Court of Appeals in Albany, Monday. Thomas F. ROGERS, for the
defendant, left to-night for Albany with District-Attorney Claude V. STOWELL,
who will oppose the granting of a new trial.
Attorney ROGERS will seek to convince the court that DUNN was at
the time of the commission of the murder "incompetent to understand the
nature or quality of the act that was committed or that the act was wrong;"
that the verdict was contrary to the weight of evidence, and that for these
reasons a new trial should be ordered.
DUNN was convicted in Corning, May 18, 1914, of the murder of
EDWARDS while DUNN was attempting to rob the Wells-Fargo express office of a
$10,000 money shipment. The two men were friends, and DUNN had gained permission
to sleep in the building. When EDWARDS awoke to find DUNN tampering with a safe,
DUNN rushed at his friend who lay upon a cot and shot him before EDWARDS could
rise.
District-Attorney STOWELL was not served until Saturday noon with a
copy of that portion of the brief covering the precedent cases referred to in
his brief, and as he was unable to look up and make answer to these before
leaving for Albany in the single day allowed him he will seek permission to file
an amended brief in the case.

THREE DROWNED WHEN CABLE BRIDGE OVER OLEAN CREEK GIVES WAY
Only One of Party Able to Swim --
Were Taking Pictures When Children at End Began to Shake Bridge
Olean, April 18 - Swinging on a frail cable bridge, four young
persons, all of Olean, were plunged headlong into the Olean creek when a
supporting cable slipped from a pole at the bank. Three of the party were
drowned. The dead are Nellie DONOHUE, aged 25, of Oak street; Margaret DONNELLY,
22, of 116 Coleman street, and Harry WAKEMAN, 18, of 107 Coleman street. Louis
VAN HOUTEN, aged 24, was picked up unconscious as he swam to the shore. The
accident occurred at 3:20 o'clock this afternoon.
VAN HOUTEN recovered consciousness shortly afterwards and related
the story of the accident. VAN HOUTEN and his three companions started out on
the bridge to take some pictures and were standing with their cameras, about the
middle of the bridge, when three children who were at the end of the bridge
began to shake it. The cables were strung over wooden poles and evidently the
strain was too great for the pole on the side of the bridge where the party of
young people were standing broke, and the cable slipped from the top of the pole
without breaking. This left the floor of the bridge in an oblique position and
the woven wire which formed a frail guard at the side of the bridge gave way and
all four slipped into the stream which at this point was about ten feet deep.
The bridge is a small wooden structure not on a public highway and
maintained only for the convenience of the employees of the Pipe Line of the
Standard Oil Company in visiting the oil tanks in that vicinity. It is not
designed for heavy traffic.
VAN HOUTEN was, apparently, the only one of the party that could
swim. He had started out with Nellie DONOHUE, but when the accident happened he
was standing nearest to Margaret DONNELLY. He told her to hold on tight and she
grabbed him by the lapel of the coat near the throat. He broke away from her and
told her to get a new hold. She did so by grasping him by the lower part of the
coat. He tried to swim to shore but the girl again lost her hold. He made his
way to the bank without her and seeing the others still struggling in the water
again entered the stream, but was too weak to proceed far.
The children who had witnessed the accident spread the alarm
throughout the neighborhood, and it was only a short time before the bank of the
creek was black with people. The police were notified of the accident a little
after 4 o'clock.
BODIES ALL RECOVERED
The first body to be recovered was that of Margaret DONNELLY. It
was taken in Babcock's motor ambulance to the undertaking rooms in North Union
street. A little later the body of the DONOHUE girl was found and at 6:20
WAKEMAN'S body was also pulled from the stream. Ora DRAKE assisted in the search
for the bodies. All of them were found a short distance below the bridge. A pike
pole was used in pulling them into the boat.
Margaret DONNELLY is the daughter of Mrs. Edward POST. Nellie
DONOHUE lived with her mother, Mary DONOHUE, in the home of a married sister,
Mrs. Jacob WALTON, of Oak street, in North Olean. Harry WAKEMAN, who is only 18
years old, lived in Attica, N. Y. All were employed at the Dunlop silk mill in
this city.

MAKE OTHER NATIONS GREAT
Professor Lowe Says of Jews - Speaks on "Nationalism."
"The light of liberty will cease to burn in new York harbor

Edward B. LOWE, of East High School, in the course of a lecture on
"Nationalism" before the English speaking Branch of the Poale Zionists

nations great.
"The day will come," Professor LOWE said, "when all

readily be paid. With what hypothesis can one analyze the existence of this

FIVE FRACTURES IN MAN'S SKULL
Recovery of Marino Ballone Was Not Possible
Two Others Badly Injured
Day of Inquest Not Set, because of Condition of Men in Accident
That Was Fatal to one -- Police Speak of Displaying Severity
An autopsy on the body of Marino BALLONE, 27 years old, which was
performed at the morgue yesterday, showed that the man died of badly fractured
skull. The skull was found to be broken in five places, so that it was
impossible for BALLONE to recover. Coroner KLEINDIENST will hold an inquest this
week but cannot set the day because of the condition of the two men who were
injured with BALLONE.
The accident occurred in Charlotte boulevard, near the village
line, on Saturday afternoon. BALLONE and Artoro MORSO, both of Charlotte, were
riding bicycles on their way to the village. Richard WILLIAMSON, who lives in
the boulevard, was operating a motorcycle. He collided with the bicyclists, and
all three were thrown. BALLONE died at the General Hospital last night.
WILLIAMSON and MORSO were hurt, and were taken to their homes in automobiles.
WILLIAMSON claims the bicyclists rode across the road in front of his machine.
It will be some days before either he or MORSO will be able to appear before
Coroner KLEINDIENST.
COLLISION OF JITNEY BUSSES
Two jitney busses collided at State and Brown streets yesterday
afternoon. Both cars were damaged, but no one was hurt. The busses were in
charge of T. H. DAVIS, of No. 535 Portland avenue, and Clifford A. BADGLEY, of
No. 10 Gerling place.
R. J. STEPHANY, of No. 528 Remington street, who operates a jitney
bus, was driving north in St. Paul street and stopped in front of No. 1,633 to
take on a passenger. Peter DeLASE, of Ontario, was driving an automobile close
behind. His car collided with the jitney and both vehicles were damaged. No one
was injured.
Emil J. HOSENFELD, 23 years old, carpenter of No. 16 Cayuga street,
was arrested at Clinton avenue north and Court street yesterday afternoon by
Motorcycle Officer HUNT on a charge of exceeding the speed limit with his
motorcycle. He left $15 bail at the Franklin street station and was released.
Drastic measures will be taken, the police say, unless the attitude
of many motorists changes. Saturday afternoon a young man astride a motorcycle,
and wearing a coat that resembled an Arapahoe Indian's blanket, raced his
machine through Court street at a speed estimated at thirty miles an hour.
"Get out of the way!" he yelled as he sped across the
intersection of William street, while several pedestrians stopped to watch him.
UNCONCERNED CHAUFFEUR
A patrolman on Saturday found a resplendent touring car occupying
the crosswalk in front of a drug store in Main street east. A woman occupied a
rear seat.
"Don't you know you are violating a city ordinance?"
inquired the patrolman of the chauffeur.
"I know it," was the bright man's reply. He made no move
to start the machine, and it was not until the policeman threatened to exercise
his authority that he did leave the crosswalk.
"We will enforce the ordinance," says Chief QUIGLEY,
yesterday. "The members of the traffic squad and the patrolmen have their
instructions. It is up to the motorists to be fair with the public. If they are
not, it will not be pleasant for them.
"A large majority of motorists regret conduct that is certain
to create a prejudice against all owners of automobiles and motorcycles. They
realize that motoring can be fully enjoyed without making a speedway of the
public streets and highways. They are not responsible for the thoughtless,
foolish fellows. We'll try to control the latter class this year."
