Very mum.

Canton. Ohio. Sept. SO.-Friends OF
the family OF the late President Mckin-
ley emphatically discredit belief In the
idea that the shot reported fired by the
Guard Deprend at Westlawn cemetery
last night was on account OF any at
tempt to desecrate the tomb. They do
not attempt to explain the strange
story Of the guard or accounts for the
firing Of the shot which the cemetery
officials and other residents nearby say
they heard. and they do not believe two
men would undertake to make an at
tack upon the vault with seventy SOL
diers on guard or near at hand,
II Is believed the military authorities
win make a thorough investigation Of
the stories by the soldiers on guard
Sunday night. There are unconhrmed
rumors that the shot was fired on ac-
count Of an accidental fall and also
that Il was the result OF personal dit
ferences. The Offices In charge early
Instructed soldiers not TO talk OF the
affair.
The statements Of the guard made
Sunday night could not be obtained UNI
m the officers had secured their re-
ports from them and while the officers
declined TO be quoted they were made
with their knowledge and In their pres
ence.
None OF the officers would express
an opinion as 10 what the object OF the
murders may have been and they also
Instructed the men not 70 discuss the
occurrence with outsiders.
The few persons who succeeded in
gaining admission to the cemetery
we're directed to the officers Of the
guard for information and guards were
told not to talk OF the incident among
themselves while outsiders were pres
emit This Is said TO be In accordance
with military regulations.
