ARREST OF MRS. M'KNIGHT
Facts That Have Bearing on the Kea-
sons Why the Law Gripped
the Woman.

Traverse City, Mich, June 3.-The
arrest of Mrs. May Mcknight, on sus-
picion of poisoning John Murphy, her
brother, and his wife and baby, brings
10 light some facts that will have Il
potent bearing on the issue Of the trial.
Mrs Mcknight and her mother lived
together, and her brother, John Muir
ply. with his wife and baby, lived
with them. but were planning to move
the next day into their own house.
They were away for short time and
found the baby dead on their return.

Maccabees. in his wife's name, then
fell 10 his mother. A mortgage held
by his sister. but not recorded when
placed on file later, was found to be
raised from 800 TO $500. This aroused
the first suspicion that something was
wrong. His body was eXhumed and
the stomach sent TO Ann Arbor. Re
turns show that death was caused by
strychnine.

Lowell. Mass, June 2-After nine
weeks of idleness the Massachusetts,
Boot, Merrimac. fremont X Suffolk,
Appleton * Hamilton corporations re-
sumed the manufacturing of cotton
goods with fully 30 per cent. of the
usual working force. Figures made
public by the mill agents through
Agent w S. Southworth. secretary of

tend TO show that the efforts of the tex
tile council to enforce the demand for
a 10 per cent. increage in wages will
fail.
The council. however, claims that
the strike has just begun; that the past
nine weeks suspension has been a lock-
out on the part of the agents. and that
the test was simply that which was
anticipated Monday, April /, when the
strike order was to have been effective,
had it not been forestalled by the

SITUATION AT KANSAS CITY
Town May, Perhaps, Have to Fight for
fier Life soon.

Kansas City. June with gas and
electric lights eXtinguished. the water
works shut down. and the city plac-
tically at the mercy Of the first fire
that shall break out; with railroad
transportation feeble and uncertain.
Kansas City may. If the waters do not
recede within the next two or three
days, be compelled to fight for her
very life.
The first authentic information from
Kansas City, Kan. is received. In
that district 10000 people are home
less. y number which cannot be esti-
mated has been drowned. ard the
property loss has been heavy. The sit
uation there is a parallel to the situa-
ton here-apparently no better, and
no worse There is no great probabili-
~ that there will be further loss of
life. In the east and the west bot
tOms-many obstinate people are still
clinging to their homes. although the
police have run boats beneath their
windows and offered to take them
away.
1t is utterly impossible to 70 m any
estimate Of the number of dead in
Kansas City. There is no possible
way Of getting 1T the names of the
dead, and no chance of forming any
estimate that can confidently be
termed accurate. 1t is likely. how
ever, that the number OF fatalities in
Kansas City, Mo-. will approximate
fifty. Down in the wholesale district
the condition of some of the people is
pitiable. They have been held prison
ers for two days, threatened with
death by drowning at one time by
fire. and for the most part without
food, and for twenty-four hours with
out drinking water. Every effort is
being made to rescue them. and they
will all be saved today.
1t is now stated that the packing
plants in ArmOurdale and Argentine
are not seriously damaged. | ut 1900
people are homeless there.
