Says He Was Shot by a Mys-
terious Blonde.

A Theory That His Own Hand Sped
The Ball.
MAN MURDERS HIS WIFE AT LOS ANGELES
He Then Fires Bullet Into His Own Head,
Dying Instantly. Tragic End Of a
Career Of Deception and
Fraud.
(By the Associated l'ress.l

Indianapolis, Dec. 27.-William H..
Smythe, Secretary of the Grand Ma
sonic Lodge Ct the State, was shot In
the head in lis office in the Masonic
Building shortly after noon today.
It is believed he cannot, live. Mr..
Smythe claims a woman did the shoot
ing, but the police have so far been
unable to locate her.
Lewis A. Coleman, an attorney,
found Mr.. Smythe shortly after he
was shot, lying in pool of blood on
the floor. Mr.. Coleman said he de-
tected the sEiell of gunpowder the mo-
ment he stepped irto the room. Mr..
Coleman at tnce IAN from the room
and telephoned the police department
When the police arrived the wound
ed man was in a semi conscious con-
dition. but was able to- say that he
was seated at his desk when blonde
woman entered his office and asked
to use the telephone. He said she had
been in several times before, that the
last call irriiated him and he refused
her REQUEST, and that she then drew
a revolver from the bosom of her
dress and tired. This is all he would
say except that his son would give all
the information desired.
DIR. Elmer Smythe when told that
his father had said he would give in
formation as to the woman who did
the shooting replied that he did not
know her.
When a search for the woman failed
10 reveal anv trace of her the theory
was advanced that Mr.. Smythe had
attempted to take his own life. His
sons said that while their father had
been very respondent at times during
the past year they were unwilling to
believe he had attempted his own life.

EDUCATORS OF The
SOUTH IN SESSION
(Continued from Tlrat Page.l

had been disappointing to many optimistic
people. She continued:
"Of course our poverty, the regency OF
the awkening of women to self-conscious-
ness and the conservatism of the South
might be mentioned but the main reason
is probably found in the defects of our
secondary schools for girls. These
schools do not prepare for college and
give little or no stimulus to further work.
They have no endowment, are crippled by
competition, employ poor teachers, and
overworl them to pitiful extent They
have as a rule no laboratories, Libraries
or gymnasiums. Their work is mechani-
cal Of stimulating many sided devel-
opment of creating abiding interest, OF
any gradual adjustment TO the spiritual
possessions of the race of education as
fitting a student to take possession of
the culture we inherit from the past, they
have never dreamed.
''Our great need now is good secondary
schools An important step in this direc-
ton will be to strengthen the city high
schools. but even when this is done, the
small cities and large country population
of the South will make necessary num-
Der of girls boarding schools If every
female college in the South would make
itself the college it claims to be or drop
it's name and do avowed and honest sec
ondary work the problem would be practi-
cally solved. That is probably too much
to expect from human nature, hence some
must be established. These should be
avowedly secondary, should be endowed
and should employ as teachers college
men and women who have had also thor
ough professional training"
President Charles d. McIver of the
State Normal and Industrial College of
North Carolina, and Miss Nina Horner,
of Converse College, South Carolina, ably
discussed the paper.
This afternoon the association had six
department conferences, in which various
topics were discussed, and later the
members attended a reception at the
executive mansion and at the woman S
club, the latter given by the Virginia
Educational Association.
At the regular session addresses were
made by DIR. Nicholas Murray Butler, of

ASKS coIv1LLE TO RESIGN.
The British War 0ffics Begins Promised Re
forms Rather Eensationally.
(By the Associated Press


London Dec. 27.-The War Office has
begun the promised reform of the army
in a sensational manner. 1t has demanded
the resignation of Major General Sir
Henry Colville, commanding an infantry
brigade at Gibraltar and recently COM
handing the Ninth division of the South
Africa field force. General Colville re-
fuses to resign and is now on his way to
England. The news is all the more start
ling as the question of General Colville's
responsibility for the Yeomanry disaster
at Lindlay last May was fully investigated
by the authorities when General Colville
returned from South Africa last summer.
After the inquiry General Colyille was
reinstated in his command at Gibraltar
in September last. The attitude of the
War Office indicates that a new regime
in Pail Mall will reverse the decisions
of Lord Lansdowne and Lord Wolseley in
regard to some of the recent commanders
in South Africa. General Colville, like
General Methuen, has always been a
great social parsonage in London and a
prominent clubman. He has had a most
distinguished military career, and has
been repeatedly mentioned in dispatches.
He is a we'll known author. and on the
occasion of his marriage, created a SEN
sation by going on his honeymoon in q
balloon.
