Kansas City. Mo-. Sept. 1.-The west

of incorporation for a packing company.
The articles will be filed in Arizona, be-
cause. the lawyers say, they can get
greater privileges there than elsewhere
AS explained by c. W. Martin, secretary
of the National Live Stock association.
the purpose is not so much 10 fight the
packing houses now in existence as to
establish competition and make the pack
ers pay a reasonable price for cattle.
I'VE want enough for our beef to en-

and trustees certificates issued instead OF
stock certificates. The cattlemen say
they can raise tho money TO buy the
stock among tn, Ese Ives. although IL will
be put oH the narFet and any one can
buy. The voting trust is to keep the
property out of the hands OF the big
packers. The talk today is that about III
million of stock will be issued at first to
build the plant on the Missouri river.
Later. If this plant shall succeed, another
will probably be built probably at Fort
Worth. and more stock sold. The stock
men think that some day the Oriental
trade and the growth Of the live stock
industry near the Pacific coast will jus

KANSAS OIL FIELDS.
They Are the Most Extensive of All,
Says Mr.. Pattison.

Coffeyville. Kan. Sept. 2.-Charles H.
Pattison, who has examined this section
OF the state, says:
Few Kansans appreciate the wonder
ful development Of southeast Kansas.
The extent OF the oil and gas fields is
growing every day. Pennsylvania and
Ohio oil men now admit that Kansas has
the greatest oil field in the United States
and they also admit that the worlds oil
supply will come from this state before
very long. The immense gas flow is do
ing wonders in the way of developing the
manufacturing interests OF southeast
Kansas. Hundreds OF manufacturing en-
terprises are coming. The gas supply
of Indiana and Ohio Is almost exhaust
ed and the manufacturers OF that section
are naturally looking TO Kansas. which
is now the only section in the country
that has gas that can be depended upon.
At Coffeyville, for instance, there are
now five glass factories in operation or
about to be started. The natural re-
sources of southeast Kansas will soon
make Kansas one of the greatest manu-
featuring states of the Union

Edison were. seated about the dining room
table Edison is said to have told his
wife he could not live with her any long
er and said that it would be better if
they. separated. This request was refused
by Mrs. Edison and the approaching trou-
bic was quoted for the time. Suddenly.
it is said. Edison turned to Mrs. Pullen
in the presence of his wife and brother,
and asked her to 20 away with him to
some other state where they could be
happy.
Mrs. Punen Indignantly refused the pro-
posal and turned away from Edison DR..
.Edson severely reprimanded his brother
for making any such remarks. and then
left the room with Mrs. Edison Almost
Immediately afterwards the shooting oc-
CURED.
Mrs Pullen was the wife Of John F.
Puuen, an auditor at the Grand Central
station. She had two children. Mrs. Pull
len and Mrs. Edison had been intimate
friends for eleven years.
Coroner Jackson, after an investigation,
said:
THE evidence from my investigation
shows that the murder and suicide was
premeditated. / have found letters and
other papers in Edson's possession in the
house that show that he had a love af-
fair"
When asked if the love affair" was
with Mrs. Pullen the coroner said he
could not answer, but spoke as if it was
not.
John F. PuIlen, the husband of the
murdered woman, in a statement saws
that Edison, as clerk of st. MchaeI's
protestant Episcopal church, had forged
and defaulted. He declared that the
furniture belonging to Edison was being
packed up today to be sent TO the Rev
DR. John c. Peters. rector of the church
partly TO reimburse the church. The
shooting. he said, was not premeditated.
He declared that Edison attempted 70
shoot Mrs. Edison. first saying that he
would end it all by killing his wife and
himself. but accidentally shot Mrs. Pull
len.
The double tragedy has brought to the
surface the fact that Edison. who was
comptroller" of St AIichaels Protestant
Episcopal church, had been suspected OF
Incorporating funds belonging to the
parish. and that expert accountants were
at work on his accounts. It was also
declared by those related with the fam
lily that Edison was financially distressed
because of Wall street speculations.
Whatever may have been the precise
cause of the tragedy, members of the
Edison family insist that the man was
insane. There are many indications that
Edison was mady in love with Mrs. Pull
len. On the body of the man was found
the following letter:
Mrs. Pullen, Darling; Trust John i'm
plicitly He will always be a go-between
and faithful. 1 know him thoroughly.
He will tell you where I am waiting for
you, to see your sweet face once more
before 1 go. l am going far, far away,
but will die true to you, no matter how
long l live. l shall lead new life. and
an honest one. and IF 1 can ever come
back to you with my past cleaned up,
/ will, dearest. Oh, my God, let me see
