FOUL PLAY
IS NOW
SUSPECTED

Beverley. Mass, Dec. 15-The authori-
Beverly. have decided TO reopen the in
vestigation which was held at the time~of
the Lnding OF the body Of Miss Bessie q.
Davis, daughter OF Otis N. Davis OF
Beverly Farms on West Beach in the
latter part OF September. An inquest
will be held tomorrow at the office Of
Judge Daniel A. Stafford of the district
court at Salem.
Miss Davis disappeared one evening and
he next day her body was found on the
beach. After a brief investigation by
the authorities. IT was decided that the
young woman had committed suicide.
When she left home she told her par
ents that she was going to a service at
the Second Baptist church OF which she
was an active worker. Although her
health had not been OF the best she had
not appeared to be despondent, and no
satisfactory cause for self-destruction
could be learned by the authorities. The
medical examiner in holding an autopsy
upon the body found bottle OF carbolic
acid inside her waist and this evidence
tended 10 confirm the suicide theory. At
the time there were many rumors that the
Young woman had been murdered, but
after tho autopsy they died out for a
time.
Recently many reports had been in cir
cuaticn at Beverly Farms. including in
situations that the girl had been foully
dealt with. although 80 far as has been
learned no stronger positive evidence had
been found.

not arise, while the third one went
through his pockets and took his money.

WASHINGTON TOO LITTLE
Why the Grand Lodge I. 0. o. F. Will
 not Be Held There.

san Francisco, Sept. 22.-The sover, eign grand lodge of Odd Fellows has reconsidered its action designating washington, D. C., as the meeting place for next years session. By a unanimous vote Philadelphia has been selected in place of Washington.
 TWO reasons were assigned for the change One was that Washington with population of 27S,O0O and only 1880 Odd Fellows in the District of Colt1n- bia had not a large enough membership to justify the governing body in de- clding to be its guest, with the neces- sary expenses attached to the recep- ton of so many visitors. The other reason was that Philadelphia. with a population of ], ,293, TOO people. is the me tropolis of a state Jurisdiction that has ll2,947 Odd Fellows, the largest mem bership of any state and is little fur ther away than Washington from Bal Hmore, where the convention met last year.

 The names of the others are not ob- tainah!e tonight. All the surgeons in Grove and Alton were summoned. A messenger from the scene states that one hundred men were at work at the tune and that the pier collapsed with out warning, owing to the faulty con- struction of the foundation, not being on bedrock and being undermined by water. The bridge was of steel. on stone piers and was to connect the east end of the Cherokee nation with Vinita and to take the place of the ferry between Alton and Grove.

at very slow rate or speed when the accident occurred or the result might nave been much more serious. It was not making more than thirty-five miles an hour when in some unaccountabIe manner the tire of the rear drive wheel on the left side of the engine broke and curled off. One end of it protruded up- ward and damned through the boiler or the engine, causing an almost fnlne- dlitte shutting off of the steam.
 Engineer Weatherby put on the air brakes and the train came to a ston request was sent to the yards for another engine. After half an hours delay another engine was attached to the train and it proceeded to Washing ton. The cause of the tire breaking. according to railroad officials. was quite inexplicable. The engine just be- fore leaving Philadelphia had been tho roughly tested. The president and his party took the matter very cooIly.
 The accident is said to be the first which has happened to a train on winch President Roosevelt has travelled during his administration. The presi- dent was given cordial welcome here by a large crowd as he came through the train shed and walked out to the street where his carriage was waiting. The crowds lined both sides of Sixth street for a long time before the train arrived and when he made his appear ance and stepped into his carriage. he was enthusiastically cheered
