In the event OF the death OF Mrs. Nc.
Kinley her body will probably be taken
to Canton, Ohio, where she will be
buried by the side of her two children,
who died 10 their infancy. II, how
ever, for ary reason 1t is thought better
to bring the remains to Washington, it
is expected that the body OF Mrs. Nc
Kinley will lie In State In the East
Room OF the White House, and that
honors, similar to those paid to the
first wife of the late President Harri-
son, will be accorded 10 her.

who are investigating the Kenmore Ho-
tel murder mystery is that James Sey-
mour Ayres. che young Census Office
clerk, was murdered bys man. That
q woman was 10 the room, they have
no doubt, as two witnesses are posi.
tive that they saw her descend from
Ayres' room by way of the fire escape, a
few minutes after the shots were fired.
From the numerous bruises on the body
and the visible evidences of q violent
struggle, the officers have advanced the
theory that Ayres and the woman were
surprised In the formers room by the
husband OF the latter and that after the
shooting the woman made her escape,
her husband following later. As yet no
arrests have been made. Ayres' father
Is here to assist the police. He will ship
the body to Port Austin, Mich.
