“SAILING DAY”
IN CHICAGO
Issoriated Press Dtspali h]
Chicago, Aiu il 7.----While their four
children were asleep Samuel Mareuo
ami his wife were .killed in their home
in Hammond, Ind., at midnight last
night, in the room where Thomas
Panto was shot to death n week ago.
Mureno Was killed by a hullet from a
revolver which was found beside the
hotly, while -lifs wife’s head tmd been
cut off with a razor. The children are
not old enough to tell much about tlu>
crime, hut tlie eldest said she thought
a quarrel preceded the shooting which
awakened her.
The police wfre uncertain today
whether Mn.ieuo Allied his wife and
then himself-: Whether the rlouhlc crime
was a sequel to die Faiito murder, or
whether a person entirely removed
from suspicion hi either' ease commit-
ted tlie last deed or both.
Joseph Mureno, a cousin of the slain
man. is under arrest charged with
killing Fanto. and tlie police think a
friend of his may have killed tlie
Marenos in revenge for information
they have regarding the first murder.

The freight bureau of the Chamlwr

tatives of the wholesale firms, jobbers,
and manufacturers of Sherman, met
this Morning fo take action against
the further enforcement of the ‘'sailing
day" plan inaugurated by the railroad
administration during the war admin-
istration. The plan, which was accept-
ed patriotically ail over tlie United
States during Hie war, is no longer felt
to he necessary, and works a great
hardship on all classes of shlmiers.

sent by tin* bureau to Chairman Alli-

T/mdon. April 7.—The Itoard of
liquidation that is settling ehiims
igainst the American army In Europe
is hearing, along with many dull pe
tit ions, an equal mimW-r of very Inter-
esting ones.
The claims in France are mostly
ltast'd on damage to property. Tree*
cut down by tlie signal corps to make
way for a telegraph line. windows
broken, houses accidentally destroyed
by fire while occupied by Yanks, and
hundreds of eases of damage due to
service motor cars and motor trucks—
all these come up for examination ami
settlement
In tlie grounds of many chateaux in
France tlie American Expeditionary
Force stored supplies or malntahied
garages. The driveway entrains'* to
these chateaux were always marked
by ornamental pillars These drive-
ways were stately, lint were not made
for convoys of heavy trucks. Result:
A great deal of smaslwd statuary,
broken fetid's and demolished gates.
Crops damaged h.v men and horses
niakivti large item in France. Tlie
French |s*asant carefully tending his
small plot* lias lieen jnst as careful to
notify headquarters of any destruction
caused by troops. A truck that upset
several wine casks, to the -profit of
tlie 34th Division also caused a claim.
In. fact, all the accidental or ordered
damage done land, buildings, |>ersonul
proiK'riy and persons -including tlie
digging of trenches but not the loss
caused hy bombardment—Is to be paid
for on a reasonable scale.

For Instance, two hullding* have
him been completed on the promises,
lait because tho legislature ha* no:
made the necessary appropriation,
they cannot Im used because of a

morning. The many Sherman friends
of Mrs. McNary will wish for her a
speedy restoration to health. She wa*
a popular girl here, and Is well

Mr. Kirk says the institution is one
of tlie cleanest, best managed, and
la'st t>quippe(l—as far as it is equip-
ped—of any lii'itltuMon in the great

daily, however, and morcToom ami

says the great State of Texas can-do -
no bigger thing than to enlarge tliis
sanitarium, situated in ail ideal cli-
mate. until it will accommodate the
