BANKER MAGILL
BEGINS TRIP
HOME TODAY
Young Girl Takes Chic
roform on Grave of
Prisoners Wife.

CLINTON, H.. July 1s-By the glim-
ner OF dim lanterns and with the ut
most secrecy. the body Of Mrs. Pet
Magill was exhumed. the vital organs
were removed and placed in the care of
Chicago specialists. Then the body was
replaced in the casket and the grave re-
filed.
Despite precautions for secrecy. the
news spread rapidly, and hundreds
sought the cemetery. Extra deputies
guarded the gate and patrolled the place,
allowing none to enter the graveyard.
Early this morning Magil ami his
bride started back home. 1t will take
ten days to make the trip.
The attempt Of Lillian Ryan. twenty
two years old. to commit suicide near
the grave of Mrs. Magill, has created a
sensation. She was found lying close
TO the Magill lot almost dead from a
dose Of choloroform. She was removed
20 the hospital When partially revived
the girl repeatedly cried: "oh. Fredi
Oh, Fredr'
She IS not known to have been inti-
riately acquainted with either the for
mer banker or Fay Graham Magill, and
II is supposed her mind has been affected
brooding over the affair.
State Attorney Miller arrived in San
Diego at noon today, and It is said will
start from there this afternoon. It is
reported here that Margaret Magin has
declared her belief in the innocence of
her father and her stepmother, and It is
known that the defense depends upon
her as its principal witness. To inter
viewers Fred MagiIl re-asserts his inno-
cence. declaring the whole matter
conspiracy against him and his girl
wife. and asserting the charges against
them will be disposed OF without the
least difficulty.

Man of All, Captain
McCrea Says.

BOSTON. July IS.-The report Of the
board OF inquiry which is investigating
the disaster on board the battleship
Georgia Will probably be forwarded to
Washington today. From unofficial but
trustworthy sources II is learned today
That several members Of the board ex-
pressed an opinion that the accident was
due not TO a spark. but 70 spontaneous
combustion Of gases generated by the
extreme rapid firing.
The crew IN the upper turret were
working like mad. straining every nerve

guns.

Search has failed to discover any evil
dence In support of the spark theory.
Inasmuch as the powder in its trans

breech OF the gun is exposed only four

would have been practically impossible
for a spark TO burn through the cover

II this turns out to be the true cause
of the disaster. which has already cost
the lives Of nine men, naval experts
will face a problem more serious than
those which were developed by former
Explosions on warships.
Many Heroes on Georgia.
Tt grows more and more evident that
fhere was not one. but a score or more
heroes on board the Georgia the day OF

There was one continuous roar of

Joined in prosecuting the offenders
against the law; but both the law and
its administration were defective and
needed to be changed. Three years
ago Public Lands Commission was
appointed to scrutinize the law and
the facts and to recommend rem

showed the existence of great frauds
upon the public domain, and their
recommendation for changes in the
law were made with the design of
conserving the natural resources of
every part of the public land by put
ting it to its best use Attention was
especially called to the prevention of
settlement by the passage of great
areas of public lands into the hands
of a few men, and to the enormous
waste caused by unrestricted graz
ing on the open range; a system of
using the natural forage on the pub
lie domain which amounts to putting
premium on its destruction. The
recommendations of the Public Lands
commission were sound. for they
were especially In the interest of the
actual home maker: and where the
small home maker could not utilize
the land It was provided that the gov

that it could not be monopolized by
a few wealthy men. Cngress has not
yet acted upon these recommended
tions, eXceut for the repeal of the
iniquitious lieu-land law. But the
recommendations are so just and
proper. so essential to our national
welfare, that / believe they will sure

president to create national forests

effort and waste of forests inevitably
followed. Finally the situation was
ended in 1905 by the creation OF the
