NOTED. NOVELIST MURDERED
Paul Leicester Ford Killed by Hi'
Brother, Who Then Suicides.

Brother, Who Then Suicides.
New York. May 10.-Paul Leicester
Ford, the novelist, was shot and killed
by his brother. Malcolm Webster Ford,
writer and at one. time champion ALL
round athlete of America, who imme-
diately afterward sent a bullet into
his own heart, dying instantly.
At the time of the shooting, the
novelist was sitting at his desk in one
corner of his library at the back of
the house on the second floor. He was
at work on some literary task. His
secretary, Miss Elizabeth r. Hall, was
seated at her desk in another corner of
the room, about 80 feet from Mr.. Ford.
Malcolm Ford called, as he had often
done, and went to his brother at his
desk. Words were exchanged in tone
what was said. ~,
Suddenly there was revolver shot
and Miss Hall, jumping up, darted
from the room. Malcolm called to her.
AS she turned toward him he placed
the revolver to his breast, fired, and
fell, dying instantly.
When Miss Hall turned to look at
Paul Ford, he was still standing at
his desk, but rapidly losing strength.
She helped him to sofa, and ran next
door for DR.. Emanuel Baruch, Mr..
Ford's physician. Upon the doctors
arrival, the dying man was carried up
to a room beside his wife's chamber
and placed on a bed. He was still
conscious, spoke to his wife, and ask.
ed the doctor for his opinion. He died
about 20 minutes after he was shot
Malcolm Ford was in financial
trouble and is supposed to have asked
assistance from his brother and, being
refused, committed the murder.

COLLIERIES ALL IDLE
STRIKE. OF ANTHRACITE MINERS
COMPLETELY PARALYzEs
= THE INDUSTRY.
Companies Have Not Been Storing Up
Any Coal and the Supply Above
the Surface 10 Very Limited-Ah In.
dications Point to q Long and Bit.
ter Struggle for Increased Wages
and Shorter Hours.

Philadelphia, May 13.-Mine work
ers throughout the entire anthracite
coal regions of Pennsylvania, to the
number of 145,000, formally began
their struggle during the day for in
creased wages and shorter hours.
Never in the history of hard coal min
ing has a tie-up been so complete, not
one of the 357 collieries in the terri
tory being in operation.
There is every indication for the be-
lief that the suspension, which was to
cover only the first three days of this
week, will be made permanent by the
miners general convention, which will
meet at Hazleton on Wednesday.
The general idea that the coal COM
panies have been storing up coal dur
ing the past month and that a large
supply is now above the surface is er-
roneous. The action of some of the
companies in giving orders for a more
economical distribution of coal in the
way of sales shows that they fear a
shortage at no distant day. The Phil
adelphia and Reading company, the
largest producer in the region, re-
fused to accept orders from it's line
and city customers, and only promised
to fill tidewater orders If the coal is
available.
Bitter Struggle Seems Likely.
Absolute quiet prevails everywhere.
In pursuance of the request of the dis.
| trict executive boards, which met
jointly at Scranton last week, all the
local unions throughout the region met
during the day and evening and elect.
ed delegates to the Hazleton conven.
ton. It is significant that in every in.
stance where the vote of "locar' be.
came public property, the ballot
showed decided majority for per.
manent strike unless the operators
grant concessions. Predictions are
made that if it is decided on Wednes
day to continue the strike, the strug
gle will be longer and more bitter
than was that of 1900, which lasted
six weeks.
The coal companies in various parts
of the region have already made prep
arations for siege. Coal train crews
telegraph operators, switchmen, car
penters, machinists and other employ
es numbering several thousand not
| identified with the mine workers
| union, have been laid of until further
notice. Some of the companies have
also brought their mules to the sur
face and placed them in pasture. (.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most competent
authorities. They have dispelled the
silly notion that one kind OF food Is
needed for brain, another for muscles,
and still another for bones. A cor

sustain every other part. Yet, how
ever good the food may be, its
nutriment is destroyed by Indigestion

Over Fourteen They need not
Attend.

Attorney General Mullan rendered an
opinion to superintendent Barrett yester.
day. relative to the new compulsory edu.
cation law. He held that when the law
requires attendance of school Children
between the ages of ] and IA years inclu-
sive," it does not mean children that
are beyond their IA birthday. Under
his ruling a child whose age ia, for in
stance, IA years and 2 months, would
not be required to attend school under
the compulsory educational act.
The inquiry of Mr.. Barrett says: 'Does
the statement of 7 to IA years inclusive
include the time only from the day a
child is Z years of age to the day that he
is IA years of age, or does the word sin.
clusiye' extend the time to the day that
q child is 1927.
In reply the attorney general gives
the opinion:
1.-The provision of section ! of chapter
12S, as follows:
Any person having control Of a child
of the age of Z to IA inclusive, in proper
physical and mental condition to attend
school, shall cause such child to attend
some public, private or parochial school
where the common school branches are
taught.
This provision requires a child in
physical and mental condition to attend
school from the time he becomes 7 until
he reaches the age of IA years. The
language of the section "to IA years"
can LOT be construed to extend beyond
the time when the child becomes Ia
years of age. The word inclusive follow
ing clearly applies to the time interven-
ing between the ages Of I and IA years.
No other construction can in my judg'
ment, be fairly placed upon it.
