Ben Jenkins. steward of the Cafe Luzon
in the Philippine Reservation at the

from stab wounds sustained in a fight on
July q.
jenkins had been patient in the hos
pital since the assault and. until recently,
his physicians believed he would recover.
Immediately after his death a message
was sent to the Sheriff's office in Clayton,
as the fight occurred in st. Louis County,
with request that the Coroner be no.
titled.
The fight in which Jenkins was stabbed
was the result Of his efforts to stop a
quarrel between negresses and Filipinos.
After the fight Dollie and Ida Carter,
Rose Mcintyre. Matte Sanders. Madge
Carroll and Lille Leslie were arrested and
charged with disturbance Of the peace
They pleaded guilty and were fined by
Justice Campbell. Later warrants were
issued by Justice Stobie against the Car

kill. The charges were afterwards dis
missed.

custody last night and went with them to
the Philippine Hospital. but found upon
reaching there that Coroner Koch had left
with the body for the Wand undertaking

held to determine the cause of death.

ernoon at o'clock. when the inquest will
be held at the Philippine Hospital They
are now held as witnesses, and it will not
be decided whether charges will be placed
against them until after the jury has re-
turned a verdict.
Coroner Koch said last midnight that
the post-mortem had not been completed,
but enough rad been developed to show
that death was caused by the pus that
entered the lung where 1t was penetrated
by knife. He said the weapon was in
possession of Clayton officers.
