PAUL l.. FORD MURDERED

Author of "Janice Meredith" Killed by
His Brother, the Athlete, Who
Then Commits Suicide.
New York, May 1O.-Paul Leicester
Ford, the novelist, was shot through
the heart by his brother, Malcolm Web
ster Ford. The murderer then turned
the weapon upon himself and gave
himself an almost similar wound. The
two brothers died within a few feet
of each other, Malcolm Immediately,
alone, face downward upon the floor;
Paul half an hour later, on couch
close by, with his wife OF less than two
years married life weeping over him.
There was but one witness of the MUIR
der and suicide, Miss Hall, the secre-
tary of the novelist, and through her
but one sentence of all that WAS said
in the moments preceding the shooting
has reached the public. When NAL
colin made his threats and drew his re-
volver, Paul started to his feet.
"All right; want to die brayely," he
said. And facing his brother and enc
my, he received the bullet in his
breast
There had been dispute over money
matters before this, and the words that
were said ranked with all the cumula-
tive bitterness of ten years of family
quarreling. For Malcolm was the dis
inherited son OF a millionaire father
Paul was the spokesman and leader
of the six children to whom the estate
had been left.
And with it went all the opposition
of two totally unlike characters. For
Paul Ford, the author of Janice Mere

jumps and running broad jumps, was

A News Service Without Parallel.

There is ample justification for the
claim made by The Chicago Record
Herald that it's readers enjoy every day
in the week, Sundays included, a news
service that is without parallel in range
and completeness. The reason isobvi-
ous-the combination of the varied and
extensive facilities of the two great
dailies, The Chicago Record and The
Chicago Times Herald. In addition to
the independent news facilities of both
papers, The Record Herald receives the
complete news service of The New York
Herald and the Associated Press, and
when it is considered that its news col
umns are supplemented by all the spec
ial features SO popular in The Chicago
Record and The Chicago Times Herald
it will be seen that The Chicago Record
Herald holds unique place among the
great papers of the United States.

The Red Hunting Coat.

The origin of the red coat is mys-
terry. There is Il story told that one
of the early Henrys was SD enamorcd
with the sport of fox hunting as to
ordain it to be a royal sport, and the
red coat was Worn in consequence
This, however has been pointed at as
absurd, as i'll those days scarlet was
not Il royal livery at all One thing
there can be no doubt about, and that
is that the scarlet coat IS very popular
for those who hunt regularly And 1t
must be confessed that it adds pictur-
esqueness to the scene. The question
of color seems TO be very much mat
ter of taste; it is looked upon as an
indication OF social position. In the
abstract any one can don the pink, if
so desired. but it is considered out, of
taste for anyone to adopt that color
if he does not literally subscribe to the
hunt fund. The black coat is con-
sidered to come next in social position.

those whose subscription is very sipan
