Cracked Jokes When Asked About

Mrs. Lulu Prince-Kennedy, who last
evening shot and killed her husband of
a month, Philip H. Kennedy, contract
ing agent of the Merchants Despatch
Transportation Company, passed a
resCless night in Jail. She refused the
breakfast brought her by the police
matron, and awaited meal ordered
by her brother from a nearby hotel.
She refused to talk to reporters of the
murder except to inquire with a smile:
Did they get out any extras, and did
the papers say / was good looking?"
Il don't want 10 talk to any man, "
said Mrs. Kennedy, later.
Il will let the other people do the
talking"
The prisoner ventured a witticism
and turned away, refusing to talk OF
her connection with the case. Devel-
Opments to-day seem to make It evil
dent that the murder was premeditat-
ed.
In scuffle following .he shooting
yesterday a man struck Kennedy S
brother as he attempted to lisarm the
murderess. The mans hat, who had
disappeared before he was identified,
was found to-day.
1t was stated that it belonged to Mrs.
Kennedy's brother, Bert Prince, but the
latter denies that he was near the scene

WASHINGTON, January lin the

made upon that portion of the army
reorganization bill which confers upon
the President discretionary power to
increase the strength OF the army TO
the maximum limit fixed by the bill.
Mr.. Bacon, of Georgia, began the at
tack and Mr. Plat, of Conn, replying,
maintained that discretionary power
ought to be conferred upon the Presi-
dent and expressed establishment that
anybody should entertain a fear that
the power would ever be abused. Mr..
Bacon declared he would rather see
his party condemned to universal and
never ending Punishment from politi-
cal power than to see such authority
placed in the hands of the President.

appointment Of volunteer officers TO
grades as high as that of captain in

ed.
