CINCINNATI, Aug ia bitter agita-
hon broke out hero last night. r.. e.
Moorehead, aged 35 years, died yesterday
at his home on Central avenue. He was u
member of Washington council, in an or
der known as the American Flag He af-
hliated with A p. A. men, but could not
belong to that order because his wife is a
Catholic Yesterday it was announced
that Moorehead died Catholic and the
family did not want Washington council
or other local lodges of the American
Flag to participate at the funeral The
lodges insisted on their usual service for
members. Their request to be at the
cathedral Saturday morning was also de-
MED.
The members Of the order held an indig-
nation meeting last night at which it was
publicly questioned whether Moorehead
died Catholic. Members of A. p. A. are
taking part in the agitation. The cashier
in Moorehead's s restaurant is also a mem
Der of the American Flag. He said Moore
head was unconscious for some time be-
fore the priest was called to administer
the last rites and that he died uncon-
scious. He also asserted that the family
would not allow him or any other mem
Der of the order to see Moorehead after his
condition became serious.
The priest who attended him is unable
to say whether Moorehead was conscious
or not, and stated that it is not a ma
terial point in his duty, as he was
called by Mrs Moorehead. The members
of the American Flag and the A. p. A.
are causing a great stir over the case.

HELD ON A CHARGE OF MURDER.
Evidence Connecting Mrs. Howell with the
Death Of Miss Knapp.

Death Of Miss Knapp.
WELLsBoRo. Pa, Aug. 15.-The exam
ination of Mrs. Charlotte Howell, charged
with the poisoning of Miss Libby Knapp,
at Tioga, was concluded yesterday, Mrs.
Howell being remanded to Jail to await
the action of the grand jury next month.
DR.. Niles, the coroner, testified to the
finding of evidences of poison in Miss
Knapp's stomach, and DIR. Brown, the
attending physician before her death, told
of similar symptoms when he was called
in. Mrs. Stevens, IA neighbor, testified to
having let Mrs. Howell have Rough on
Rats on three occasions, once on the
plea that she wanted to kill n dog, another
time TO kill cat, and on the last occasion
she left the whole box with her because
she had asked her to do SO in consequence
of dream which she said made her fear
that Mrs. Stevens would be poisoned by
the stuff Mrs Howell placed the poison
in a cupboard. Two or three days after
Miss Knapp died Mrs. Stevens asked Mrs.
Howell about the poison, and she replied
that she had burned it up since Libby
died because she had been afraid to have
1t in the house.
The threatening and filthy letters re-
ceived by Miss Knapp were offered in evil
dence together with some copies Of them
made by Mrs. Howell to show that the
pencil printing was done by the Same hand
as the originals. Evidence was also ad
duced to show that the statements made
by Mrs. Howell about the death of the
girl were not according to the facts. This
evidence as a whole, was considered suffi
cient TO hold the woman to answer
/ charge of murder.

Contest FOR the Gubernatorisl Nomination
Between Lowndos and Maister.
CAMBRIDGE, Md, Aug l5,-The Repub-
Lean state convention, which assemblies
here today, promises to bo the most spir-
tied gathering of the party in years. Tho
capacity of this small town will be tnNr&
to its utmost to accommodate the crow,',
ard tents, river boats, ctc., are being util-
ized as improGptu hotels The conven-
tion assemblies mt noon, bat it is expected
that sharp struggle between at least
three conteslng delegations will defer
the nominations for governor, attorney
general and comptroller and agreement
on platform until late in the day.
The friends of Lloyd Lowndes claim
that he will bc nominated for the COVER
norship on the first ballot. with plenty of
votes to spare. The opposition to Lownde-
centers around William r. Malster, and
the contest is becoming very bitter and
somewhat personal. The Malster men
are still hopeful of winning, although the
general feeling is that the Lowndes forces
have the convention we'll in hand. Little
general interest attaches to the contest for
the other places on the ticket.
Aside from the gubernatorial contest
the main interest attaches to the plat
form. Tho leaders say there will be d
strong and unqualified expression of the
sound money idea in national finance. II
is the purpose also of making a personal
arraignment of the alleged influence ex
erted by Senator German in shaping tLt
recent nomination of John e. Hurst fol
governor on tho Democratic ticket. The
rest of the platform will be devote,
mainly to state issues, the main one be
ing a reassessment of all property values
| throughout the state.

the ten mile bicycle record by Fred Titus.
He started out on ten mile match race
with Harry Maddox, holder of the record

that he dropped back a lap behind before
the second mile was finished. AT the end
of the third mile Maddox dropped out

record, and he fractured every mile after

pace the mile with two quads, but one Of

not fast enough for Titus, who on the last
mile cut the pace for the tandem He fin

another quad to pace Titus would have
done much better Puglist James i.
