FAIL To FIND
THE ASSASSIN
Police Unable to Trace
Man Who Killed
Mrs. Kinnan.

NEW YORK, June 9.-The identity of
the murderer Of Mrs. Alice Kinnan, who
was struck down on the stoop of her
home in the borough of the Bronx last
night, is still a mystery.
Mrs. Kinnan lived with her mother,
Mrs. Louisa M. Stanton, aged IS, in an
old and decaying mansion At 8
o'clock last night she was called to
the door by an unknown person, who,
without a word, struck her a fatal
blow on the head with a gaspipe The
murderer then disappeared, but left the
gaspipe.
That jealousy or revenge may have
been the motive which prompted the
assault was suggested by the discovery
that a contractor named Ciinchy died
in Mrs Kinnan's home while calling
upon her two weeks ago, and also that
Mrs Kinnan had employed a lawyer
10 bring suit for divorce from her hus-
band, from whom she separated eight
years ago. The police are now trying
TO ind man who is said to have been
frequent caller on Mrs. Kfnnan
1t was said today that Clinchy had
been visitor at Mrs. Kinnan's home
for five years against the wishes of
his family
The mystery is deepened by the fact
that the whereabouts of Mrs Kinnan's
husband is unknown. After trying in
vain for two years to find him and
bring suit against him Mrs. Kinnan
believed him TO be dead, until three
weeks ago, when he was reported to
be in Brooklyn. The search for him
was renewed by Mrs. Kinnan's lawyer,
but without result.
The police have taken up the search
for him in the hope that he may be
able to give them a clew

NEITHER SIDE
WILLING TO PAY
Packers, and Raisers Try to
Escape the Inspection
Costs.

WASHINGTON, June 9.-The beef in
spection hearing before the House COM
mittee on agriculture was begun today
by listening to Representative Gaines
of Texas, who made plea for speedy
action.
s. H Cowan of Fort Worth, Tex, sat-
torney for the Texas Cattle Raisers'
Association, was next heard. Cowan
said while the raiserS had their differ
ences with the packers and had not got
the best Of them, yet in this question
the interest of the raiserS and packers
was Identical. If there were an addi
tional expense some one would have to
pay it, and the man who can name the
price of the thing he sells can put the
additional expense where he pleases.
i ne stockmen believe the packers could
put this expense on the stock raisers.
Asked by. Representative Adams of
Wisconsin If the packers did not fix the
price paid for cattle. Cowa1 said this
was an impossibility under ordinary
conditions. Neither could the cattle
raisers. by combination. fix the prices
The reason was that whea cattle got
into condition they must be sold.
Representative Haugen OF Iowa
asked Cowan If he had read the Presi-
dents message, which estimated the
cost of inspection at eight cents a
head.
But we don't want to pay it-thats
our reason replied Cowan. But
rather than do without the law we
would be glad to levy the cost on the

Haugen said every member of the
committee, so far as he knew, was in
favor of the Government paying the
cost. This cost has been estimated
from sS.ooO.o00 to s2o,oo0.oo0 annually
and Congress, he said, at most, would
probably not appropriate more than
In view of this he believed it might
be better to assess the cost on the

When a south sea island mother
wishes to chastise her child she seldom
resorts to slapping, and slippers, Of
course, she has none. Instead of using
the forms Of punishment customary
among civilized mothers she pulls the
child's hair or bites some part Of the
body, generally the feshy part Of the
arm. In wandering about the village
one sees many children having on their
bodies scars produced by wounds in
flicted by their mothers teeth. When
mother wishes to caress her child
she deftly draws her thumb across its
eyebrow or cheek or gently seizes its
cheek between her teeth. The rubbing
Of noses is also mark Of affection
among the Kingsmill islanders, as 1t Is
among the Maoris of New Zealand.

There is n relation between the color
Of flame and the energy of the COM
bustion causing It. The more vigorous
and complete the combustion the high
er the refrangibility Of the light. A
fame burning in tardy and restricted
way emits rays that are red. When
burning in a more complete and effec-
tive manner the emitted rays change
to violet. The flame of candle or
lamp consists Of a series Of eccentric
luminous shells surrounding a central
dark core. These shells OF fame emit
light of different colors, the innermost
cne-that In direct contact with the
dark core-being red and having a tenn
perature of exactly 977 degrees F.
Upon this and in their proper order Of
refrangibility are shells Of light which
are orange, yellow, green. blue, indigo
and violet. The reason that such
fame does not appear to us as nest
OF cones of different colored light is
this: When we look upon such flame
all OF the rays issuing from the diff
ferent layers or strata Of concentric
luminous shells are received by the
retina Of the eye at one and the same
time. This can only impress with the
sensation of neutral or white light.
