- - der by District Attorney Bying-
ton yesterday The accused
women were Immediately transferred
from their comfortable quarters in the
matron's ward at the City Prison to d
. cell. They were somewhat downcast at
the change, but retained her eGuanim-
fly, although Mrs. Bowers paIed percep-
tibly while being booked.
The women were first placed in the
same cell, but when Chief Whitman
learned that they were together he or
dered them separated, and they now &C
cupy separate cells located at opposite
ends OF the corridor.
Harry Bowers, brother Of the dead
bridge builder, swore to the complaint.
The case was assigned TO the court Of
Judge Cabaniss. Mrs. Bowers and Mrs.
Sutton viii appear in the Police Court
on Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock for ar
Taignment and instruction.
District Attorney Byington says that
the preliminary hearing viii probably
take place the last Of this week. The at
tOrneys for the defense are endeavoring
20 have the case hurried along as rapidly
as possible, but the prosecution is willing
10 have the proceedings delayed until fur
Their discriminating evidence can be col
lected.
Several punches Of flowers were sent TO
the prisoners yesterday by sympathizers.
Lervey, or O'Leary. has not been charged,
but he will be detained until 1t is estab-
lshed beyond a possibility Of doubt that
he was not an sccomplice- His falsehOods
IN his statements TO the authorities have
placed him in rather a bad light.
Neither Mrs. Bowers nor Mrs. Sutton
viii talk about their predicament, al
though both are willing to talk freely in
regard 10 matters not connected with the
sickness and death Of Martin Bowers.
John Cunning ham is still under the eye
Of the police and viii be retained as a
witness in the prospective trial He has
not been placed ia custody nor viii he
be unless there are some DEVELOPMENTS
which may place him in a bad position
81 respect 10 the Bowers murder.
Chief OF Police Whitman received the
statement Of Mrs. D. D. McCaIlum from
Chief Of Police Hunt Of Portland, Or,
yesterday The woman said that Mrs
Bowers was afraid that her husband
would become cognizaE+ OF the fact that
she was keeping company with Lervey;
that Bowers was angry when he came
home from Mare Island to find his wlfe's
paramour IN the house, but that there
as no fight, as has been frequently re-
ported. The police are stil inclined to
believe that the men had a struggle on
that occasion
The authorities feel that the evidence
1hey have connecting Mrs. Bowers and
Mrs Sutton with the murder is strong
enough 10 secure a conviction. but they
are searching for more information which
would make II clear that the deceased's
wife was anxious o<have her husband
out Of the Wav.
Detective Ryan. who has conducted the
Investigation 50 ably thus far, is work
ing on this end and Detective Coleman is
SIN endeavoring 10 find a place where
either Of the accused women purchased
arsenic about the time Bowers was first
taken sick.

Some Further Criticism Of the Recent
Educational Conference.

Another mild criticism Of the recent
Educational Conference goes forth. The
Central Presbyterian this week says;
One of the things which surprised us at
the recent Educational Conference was
that 1t was not opened with prayer. Yet
certainly the leaders OF the Conference C. {,
were Christian men, men Of reverence ana ana
inyoeation is almost lnvariable at any
serious gathering of people. II any en-
terprlse has reason to express dependence

many people, with which so many, diff
cuities and problems are connected.

TROUBLE WITH THE STATE

Inc corporation Commission is Very
Much Annoyed ut the Failure of the
State Printer to Perform His Duty.
Raleigh POST
The cooperation commission YES
terday gave out statement that
thew are very much annoyed at the
failure of the State printer to do
the necessary printing for the office.
The statements of banks are not
now published for the reason that
the printer is so slow in getting
them out that they are Of no ser
vice.
The commission states that the
printer was furnished with COW
for lot of blank books early in
May, job that could easily have
been furnished by any one prepared
for such work within ten daysLbut
has not been delivered.
The tax report of the commission
is now ready for the printer and
copy for the corporation commission
report proper Will soon be ready
but 1T would seem, the commission
say, that the present State printer
can't possibly 10 it, and they will
probably have it done elsewhere, az
