Istant failure of costly machinery to work

has had no superior to pass judgment on
his methods of applying the money in

1t Is understood that he has been

A MOTHERS DILEMMA.
It Is Caused by the Killing of Her
Son by Her Daughters
Husband.

Atlantic City, n. j., Sept. 19.-Witll
a wound through his body just above
the heart, and q Winchester repeating
shotgun OF the type used by express
messengers who guard treasure clasped
In his hand, Lawrence L. Adams, q
years Did, only son of a wealthy widow,
was found dead this afternoon in a
room on the third story of his mothers
cottage, on Vermont avenue.
William Harvey Reed, 2S years old,
husband of the dead mans sister, a
clerk in the Atlantic City ~postotlice,
who was alone with Adams In the room
when the shot was fired, admitted that
he held the " at the time. He was
locked up pending the coroner's In
quest, which is to determine whether
his statement that the shooting was
ar accident shall save him from a
charge of murder.
Conflicting statements of the mother
of the murdered man n others IN the
house make II impossible to tell wheth-
er the shot was fired In anger. The po-
lice, who claim to have information Of
an important nature, refuse to make
any statement before the inquest.
Mother Nearly Crazed.
The mother, who Is nearly crazed
over the death OF her son, seems TO be
uncertain whether TO accuse Reed Of
murder or to Shield him as the husband
Of her daughter.
Immediately after the shooting per-
sons In the house told stories hat the
two young men had been In a quarrel
in the room.
The mother n wife were on the first
floor OF the cottage when the shot was
fired. Both ran upstairs, and the po-
lice were summoned by neighbors. Adj
pms had received the deadly wound
while seated in a chair, and had strug-
gled or been dragged across the room
TO a point near the door.
The police found Reed and his wife
in an adjoining room. Reeds first
words were:
II shot him, but 1t was M acci-
dent"
He is said to have made other admis-
sions, but the police refuse to say what
they were. The two men had always
been on friendly terms, but there is lit
tie doubt they were quarreling today
Over some matter which the police may
know.
Reed, in his cell in the city jail, seems
to be cool, and neither he nor his
young wife appears to realize the gray
ity OF his situation. Reed has no rela-
tives in this city, and refuses n in
formation in regard to them beyond
saying that his mother is a widow.

The COMMUNIST housefy, musca DO
mesticata, breeds I'm I'M and door
yard filth, and Is found in nearly all
parts of the world. on account of the
conformation of its mouth parts, the
housefiy cannot bite, yet no impression
is stronger in the minds of most people
that this insect Toe not occasionally
bite. This impression is due to the
frequent occurrences in houses of an
other fly (Stomoxys colcitrans). which
may be called the stable fly. n which,
differs from IL in the important par
ticular that its mouth parts are formed
for piercing the skin. This species
takes refuge in houses when 1t raint
and gives rise to the saying that flies
bite only when IL rains.

Colorado Springs, Sept. 21.-The
Mine Owners association, which IN

: The p~rovocation for the action is the
present disastrous strike, which rs In
sympathy with the union employees or
the United States Reduction and Re-
filming and the American Smelling n
Refining companies. There Is general
discomfort among strikers themselves
because Of being ordered out to aid the

to the federation because of It's various
labor bodies and to organize a distinct

FOR CRIPPLE CREEK
Three Hundred Michigan Mer
Brought to Take Places
of Strikers.
ARE CAREFULLY GUARDED
Military Authorities Are Causing Strict
Watch Kept on Railroads in the
District Where Explosives
Could Be Used.

Cripple Creek, Colo, Sept. 21.-Three
hundred men brought from Michigan
iron mills to take the places o f%striking
miners here came through Denver. The
passage of these men to the gold camp
will be carefully guarded by special
officers and soldiers.
Sufficient powder to dislodge 1000
tons of rock and three five-gallon cans
Of oil have been found in occupied cab
ms, and in consequence the military
authorities are causing a strict guard
to be maintained at all points on the
railroads In the district where 1t Is
thought damage could be done with
explosives or fire.
G. G. Kennison, president of the Min
ers' union, No. 40, and a member or
the executive council of the western
federation in this district, was arrested
by Colonel l.. c. Jones Of the govern
or's staff by order Of General Chase,
and placed in the military guard house.
1t was announced at headquarters that
several days & Kennison was IN

he had been instructed to go by SUI

the strike leaders who have been held

upon the decision Of the supreme court

POISON SQUAD AGAIN.
Or. WiIey's Boys Will Start on a Diet
If SaIicvIjc Acid This Time.

Washington, Sept. 1S.-Dr. Wiley's poi
son eaters, who gained undying fame last
winter by consuming borax In unlimited
quantities, under the auspices OF the a9rt-
cultural department, will this fall tackle
salicylic acid. DIR. Wiley, who has been
In Europe for several months. will re-
turn to his desk next week and immedi-
ately make arrangements for continuing
his poison eating contest. The excite
ment will begin about October l..
It was stated at the department that
the men who would submit TO the tests
have not yet been selected. 1t was adj
mitted that some of the dozen young men
who were experimental or last winter
would not again offer themselves as a
sacrifice on the altar of science. The rea-
son given is that they are married and
prefer to eat the cooking of their wives
rather thar the connections Of DIR. WI
ley's civil service chef.
1t is not expected, however, that any
great difficulty will be experienced In OBJ
tanning the necessary number of young
men. Impecunious clerks will recall that
for a period of six months or more q
dozen men were boarded free Of cost by
Uncle Sam last year. Bearing this IN
mind, enough of them will volunteer.
After salicylic acid is tried, other poisons
and personalities will be taken up.
