POLICE ARE STILL AT SEA
Appear to be Baffled by Murder of Mrs.
Lewis in PhiIadeIphia.

Lewis IN PhlladelphIa.
Philadelphia, Sept 15.-The police
seem to be no nearer a solution of the
mystery surrounding the murder of
Mrs. Maurice K. Lewis, who was
mysteriously slain last Monday in the
apartment house kept by Charlotte
Kelly, than they were on the day of
the murder. While Superintendent of
Police Taylor expressed himself as
satisfied that Miss Kelly had no
knowledge of the crime. it is evident
that she is still under strict surveil
lance. Superintendent Taylor also ad
mitted that Harry Somers, a boarder
at Miss Kellys house, who has been
detained" by the police. is virtually
a prisoner.
John K Rigler,. a gas meter in.
spector. was examined by the police.
He made the statement that when he
visited Miss Kelly's house last Mon.
day at about 3 o'clock in the after.
noon there was another woman in the
house besides Mrs. Lewis. This wo.
man, he declared, was Miss Kellys
mother, Mrs. Robinson. Miss Kelly
has told the authorities that she and
her mother were visiting and shop
ping from 9 o'clock on Monday morn
ing until 4.30 o'clock in the afternoon.

FARMERS WIFE
SLAIN IN HOME
Mrs. Kate Pavitt Victim of Dastardly
Crime Near Media, Pa.
WAS KILLED WITH A HATCHET

Media, Pa, Sept. 14.-With her head
crushed and her body and throat
gashed, Mrs. Kate Pavitt, wife of Ed.
ward H. Pavitt, was found dead in the
kitchen of her home in Mtm1le town
ship about one and a half miles from
this place. Pavitt, who is a farmer.
was away from home from early in the
morning until noon, and upon his re-
turn from Chester, where he had gone
with a load of produce, reported to the
coroner the finding of his wife's mutt
lated body. Some of his statements
the authorities say are peculiar and
his movements are under investiga-
ton.
Mrs Pavitt had been beaten to death
with a hatchet. Her throat and arms
were cut, but these wounds were made
with some weapon other than the one
with which her head was crushed al
most to pulp. Upon his return from
Chester Pavitt telephoned to Deputy
Coroner DOnnelly, of Lansdowne,
nearly six miles distant, but the lat
ter refused to respond Pavitt told him
that he had found his wife murdered
and requested the deputy coroner to
come to the house and bring a physi-
clan with him. Donnelly told Pavitt
the case was not within his jurisdic-
tion, and Pavitt then telephoned to
Deputy Coroner Quimby, at this place.
The latter notified Coroner Gilmour,
and, summoning his physician, the
coroner and his deputy went to the
Pavitt farm.
PaYitt told them that when he
reached his house the windows we're
closed and the front door locked. He
tried the kitchen door, he said, but
had trouble in opening it, becailse his
wife's body was jammed against it.
Coroner Gilmour measured the dis
tance from the door to where the body
had apparently lain, and stated that it
could not have prevented the door
from opening. Pavitt said also that
his wife spoke to him when he entered
the room, but the coroner's physician
declares that the condition of the body
indicated that the woman had been
uSdu at ledSI IOuT OF nV6 nOuTS. RdVlJt
said he left home for Chester at 5
o'clock in the morning. He was seen
in Chester at II o'clock. His wife
was in bed, he said, when he left
home.
Suspicion at first pointed to a young
colored man who had been seen in
the vicinity of the farm early in the
day, and who appeared later wearing
another suit of clothing. A posse OF
farmers went in search of this man
and arrested William Kelson, aged 19
years. a respectable negro, who had
no dificulty'in proving an alibi. Wher
Pavitt learned that Kelson had beer
arrested he wanted him lynched The
negro was released.
There was a pool of blood where
Mrs. Pavitt's body had lain and tht
walls of the kitchen were stained

A Heavy Load to Carry.

Along with dyspepsia comes nervous
ness and general illhealth. Why? Be-
cause disOrdered stomach does not per-
nit the food to be properly digested, and
its products assimilated by the system.
The blood is charged with poiSonS which
come from this disOrdered digestion, and
in turn the nerves are not fed on good,
red blood, and we see symptoms of nerv-
business, sleeplesSneSs and general break
down. 1t is not head work, nor over ply
sical exertion that does it, but poor stOm-
ach work. With poor, thin blood the
body is not protected against the attack

Jury Came In

Pottsville, Pa, Sept. 17.-"Not gull
ty" was the verdict which had a stun
ming effect on Emma Stephany, who
was acquitted of the charge of MUIR
dering her lover, James Frizzle, last
July. The case closed after only a
few witnesses on general character
had been heard for the defense, and
so sure was the defendant that she
would be found guilty that she asked
her counsel: When do you think
will be hanged?" When tie jury slow
ly filed into the court room, after be-
ing absent only half an hour. she
shook with apprehension, and when
the acquittal was announced she was
so overcome that she could scarcely
walk up to the jurors and thank them.
The evidence against the girl was
al of circumstancial character and
threw but little light upon the crime.
The case has been one of mystery
and doubt from the first. The total
lack of motive for the deed, and the
girls declaration. which the prosecu-
tion brought out. that she had said
she loved James Frizzle more than
any man living. we're important fac
tors securing her acquittal. An opin-
ion held by many is that the girl is
shielding some one dear to her who
committed the crime.

ONT NOTE ora CANDOR IN THE KANSAS
CAMPAIGN.

One Republican candidate in
Kansas, at least, is still for free rail-
road passes-or it might be putting
it more accurately to say there is
one Republican candidate in Kan
sas who is frank enough to admit
that he is still for free passes.
This notable exception isWilliam
Gesner, nominee for Representative
from Barber county. In answering
the "Kansas Questions" he says.
81 am not in favor of an anti-pass
law. | ship most of my stock to
Chicago. If could not get trans
portation with my stock it would
cost me about $50 every time l
made shipment.
1t has not occurred, apparently,
to Mr.. Gesner that if the abuse of
giving passes were abolished the
railroads would be able to make
considerably lower freight rates to
other patrons and thus shippers
would be recouped in a fair and
honest business way. Nobody in
wi awake state like Kansas can
be SO dense as to suppose that the
railroads in that state issue the
passes which they are constantly
bestowing here and there from mo-
tives of unmixed altruism. They
are intended to accomplish a def
mite purpose, and their cost to the
companies is made up by levying
tribute of some sort on those who
use them.
But it is not so much the purpose
Of this article to discuss the evil Of
free passes as to call attention to
the exceptional instance of rail-
road candidate in Kansas who has
manifested the candor of owning
the corn and telling the truth
about his attitude on the pass ques-
tion.-Kansas City Star.
