GIRL ASSAULTED AND
 MURDERED, IS BELIEF
LiIie Davis, Who Was Shot In Gem etery at Bristol, Tenn, While Walk
 ing With Hale, Was Witness.

Bristol. Tenn, March 2S.-Developments today lead to the belief that Lilly Davis, who was shot in East Hill cemetery last night, dying an hour later, was assaulted and murdered. Johnson City officials claim that the girl was to have been a witness against a younger brother of Jack Hale, who was with the girl at the time she was shot, in trial for man. slaughter to be called at that place next week It is reported that the man killed was a brother of the dead girl.
 Witnesses examined testified at the in- quest today to discriminating actions, and tonight the authorities agreed to hold a second post mortem examination of the girls body. The coroners. physicians made the examination and reported find ing evidence of criminal assault.
 Hale adheres to the story that the young woman shot herself. The spot where the shooting occurred is six feet south of the Virginia-Tennessee state line and as the arrest had been made by Virginia officials, all the legal for malities had to be gone over by the Ten ncssee authorities.
 Miss Davis is to be buried in the fine, wedding gown in which she was to have been married early in April to a well known coal mine owner.

LTlMlLLIoNAIRE WAS MEMBER OF PROCTOR 6 SMITH, AND WAS WIDELY KNOWN IN BUSINESS AND RELIGIOUS CIRCLES.

Cincinnati, March 2S.-William A. Proc tor president of the Proctor x Gamble Co.,, and son of one of the firms found- CTS, died this afternoon from bullet wound, self-infcted. at his home in Glen dale, a suburb<of this city.
 When announcement was made of his death it was stated that death resulted suddenly and it did not develop until some hours later that he had shot himself in the head while alone in the bathroom.

MT. Proctor was widely known in business circles, and was a prominent layman in the Protestant Episcopal church, to the institutions of which he was liberal giveh. ills wealth was esti- mated at many millions, most of which had been made by himself. He was noted for the cooperative scheme for a division of profits with employees, which he had designed for his company.
 Members of the family tonight admit ted that MT. Proctor committed suicide by shooting himself in the head while in the bathroom, shortly after o'clock this afternoon. It is said that Proctor had been suffering from melancholia eyer since the death of his wife, four years ago. He was born in this city 79 years ago.

WRASON ON THE
 STAND ALL DAY
OF NEGRO COMPANY DOES NOT NOW THINK HIS MEN GUILTY, AFTER HEARING THE TESTIMONY.

Washington, March 2S.-Lieut. G. C.. Lawrason of Company B, Twenty fifth infantry, was again on the stand all of to- day in the Brownsville investigation be- fore the Senate committee on military affairs.
 At the afternoon session Lieutenant Lawrason told Senator Warner that he had been of the opinion that Fort Brown was attacked by citizens, but that the next morning when he was shown car trdges picked up by Captain Macklin in the streets of the town, he was sure the shooting had been done by soldiers. Later Senator Foraker asked the witness if he believed now that the shooting was done by the negro soldiers, and Lieutenant Lawrason replied:
 q think, sir, that it should have been discovered by this time who did the shoot ing. There has been no direct evidence to fix 1t on these men, and in view of the testimony here l cannot say that think the negro troops were guilty
 In reply to questions by Senator Lodge the witness said that he heard no firing after he joined the company on the night of the affray, and that he had reached the company before First Sergeant Sanders Senator Lodge then called attention to the fact that Sanders had testified that the firing continued while the roll was being called
 The witness testified at length concern ing the technical report of the micro- scopic examination of shells picked up in the streets of Brownsville, the ways in which soldiers may get extra ammunition, and many other matters that have been gone over in detail by a number of wit nesses. He may again go on the stand tomorrow.

CORBIN BANKING
 HOUSE ASSIGNS
ASSETS EXCEED LIABILITIES BY $1,ooo,oo0, SAYS THE STATEMENT GIVEN OUT AT THE OFFICE IN NEW YORK.

New York, March 2S.--The Corbin Bank ing company today assigned for the bene- fit of creditors to George R. Austin The two members of the company are George S. Edgell and Austin Corbin. MT Edgell is president and Mir Corbin vice presi- dent of the Manhattan Beach Hotel and Land company.
 At the office of the company tie fol- lowing statement was given out
 "The Corbin Banking company is d firm of private bankers consisting of George $. Edgell and Austin Corbn. The as- sets exceed the liabilities by over $1 ,000- O0O The principal assets consist of valu- able real estate, which could not be sold except at a sacrifice in time to meet maturing obligations. The members of the firm deemed it best for the creditors, therefore, that they should make an as- signment The creditors will undoubted- ly be paid in full
 The Corbin Banking company was es- tablished by the late Austin Corbin Sr., who was for many years the controlling influence in the Long Island Railroad company.
 MT. Corbn said rough estimate placed the liabilities at $1 10000 and the assets at s3,000,000
 "The assignment was due to the ma tuf1nS ODllgat1OnS, said he. "llmeS are hard and money is high. The company owns 400 acres of land at Manhattan Beach and Far Rockaway which is worth $5,000,0O0 but it could not be sold today under existing conditions for sl,50000O. You cannot get anyone to buy real es- tate at per cent. There is other valu- able real estate in the south and west, but loans and contracts prevented it from being disposed of.
 A petition praying that Austin Corbin and George $. Edgel individually and as co-partners in the Corbin Banking com pany be declared banllrupts was filed in the United States court today.
 The petitioners are Isabelle H. Knott of Denver, Colo; Alice H. Hill of Los Angeles, and Alexander J. Shamburg of New York.
 The petition alleges that the Corbn banking firm owes more than half a mil lion dollars, and mentions various sums deposited by the three petitioners. The plea for the declaration of the bank ruptcy of Edgell and Corbin is made on the ground that the filing of an assign ment was in violation of the bankruptcy act.

REACHING A SERIOUS SAGE.
The Growth of Skyscraper Construc-
 ton in New York.

From the Engineering News.
 With an enormously rapid growth in number of tall buildings, in all districts of the city, residential, commercial and financial, the downward recession of the streets from the level of free light and air is reaching serious stage. In Eu- rope, with vastly less pressing conditions. there Is already distinct recognition of the fact that the welfare of the communi- ty requires restrictive measures to pro- tect against this. The questions of in- terspacing of buildings, and proportion of frea ground area, are of somewhat dif ferent character, yet related. In some sections New York city Is already ap- proxlmatng q state where it has con tact with the atmosphere only along the house fronts and the roofs.
 The worst feature of this is not the re- striction of light or air, because the buildings must be made attractive to ten- ants and self-intereBt, therefore, watches over these desiderata In q measure. The serious thing Is the transit question. Great ssembages of people are massed along narrow streets, with usually only one tributary street, a street utterly in adequate to give passage to all in an emergency, and badly congested even by the normal distributed traffic. May it not be feasible to secure by the general building regulations such provision of passages, courts and lanes in the sky scraper regions as would give more elbow room in the streets at the same time in- suring a more healthful condition as re- gards light and air distribution and greater opportunity for esthetic develop ment O. the city.
 The subject of encroachment of build ings on street and sidewalk space, both at the surface and overhead, is a related matter for careful study. The unfor- tunate. injurious conditions existing in most cities are so patent. and have so often forced themselves on the attention of nearly every thinking citizen. that no detailed reference to them is required here

MAYORALTY RAGE IS
 WARM IN CHICAGO
MAYOR DUNNE AND REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE BUSSE INDULGE IN BITTER CHARGES-WHlRLWIND FINISH INDICATED.

Chicago, March 2S.-The mayoralty campaign now on in this city has become one of the most intense political contests that Chicago has seen in recent years. Both the adherents of Mayor Dunne, who is seeking reelection, and of Frederick A. Busse, the republican candidates, have allowed themselves, in their enthusiasm, to indulge in bitter personalities and charges and counter charges have been made with great energy on both sides.
 The proposition to give better street car facilities throughout the city is the main issue in the campaign. The demo- crats pin their faith to the doctrine of municipal ownership as advocated by Mayor Dunne, and the republicans stand behind the ordinances recently passed by the city council over the mayors veto which declared in favor of immediate inn provement of the street car systems with municipal ownership much further in the background than is deemed desired by Mayor Dunne and his following.
 The fight so far has been extremely warm and the heat is likely to increase between now and next Tuesday, when the election will be held.

It is plausible. I don't say that the work will be done within that length of time, but at the rate the dig ging is being carried on now, be- lieve it could be. It certainly will not take a much longer time than five vears"
