Chicago, Jan. 11.-Walter S. Boyle,
aged % years. the son of the presi-

dead at the home of his parents, with
a bullet hole in the side of his head.
The father tells the police his sou
committed suicide while the rest OF
the family were at the breakfast table.
No reason is given for the act.
Whsl the policemen examined the
weapon which was found in his room
they claimed it hardly probable that
the bullet which produced the sons
death was fired from it. So as it is,
there is considerable mystery sur
rounding the matter.
The police are investigating, and ar
rests are expected to follow.

CATION TO GO OVER.

Austin, Texas, Jan. 10.-By inter
posing technical points of order and
invoking provisions of a rule which
relates to the time certain business
may be considered the champions of
Senator Bailey today prevented the
consideration of the resolution intro
duced on yesterday proving for an in
vestigation of Senator Bailey and At
torney General Davidson. Judge John
NJ. Duncan of Smith county attempted
to call up the resolution and he led
the fight in it's behalf. Mr.. Kennedy
of McLennan county, formerly of
Limestone county, who in former leg
islatures demonstrated that he was an
expert in obstructive tactics, and who
has even fought local measures, such
as the Galveston and Dallas charters
in a way, led the fight in behalf of
the Bailey forces. The points of or
der which he raised we're oyerruled
by Speaker Love, notwithstanding Mr..
Love has announced that he is per-
sonally a Bailey man. The time con-
sumed in debating the points of order
used up the half hour allotted under
the rules to the consideration of res
olutions, and when Mr.. Kennedy call
ed attention to that fact after his
points of order were overruled, the
subject was dropped. Now it will
come up tomorrow as unfinished bust
ness. Whether or not the rule will
again be invoked remains to be seen.
The authors and other advocates of
the resolution, however, are not dis
couraged. They say if the friends of
Senator Bailey wish to present the
spectacle of making a fight in his be-
half by resorting to filibustering and
technicalities, they can stand it with
fortitude. because they feel sure it is
