KILLS WOMAN AND HIMSELF
Millionaire Grain Man Commits Dou.
bio Crime.

Omaha, Oct. 2O.-"Notify my
brother that something terrible is 60
ing to happen in few minutes" tele-
phoned Sewell Sleuman, aged fifty, a
millionaire grain dealer, to his clerk.
An hour later when Sleuman was
found, he was lying dead across the
feet of Eva Hart, aged tWenty-four, an
actress, with whom he was infatuated
and who was also dead.
S1euman was one Of the best known
grain men of the West. He had wife
and family from which he has been
separated few months and had been
infatuated for three years with Miss
Hart.
In the room where the tragedy oc-
Cured every piece of furniture was
broken, pictures slashed, carpets
ripped up with a butcher knife and
every conceivable damage done.
On a table was a note saying that
Miss Hart had turned him down and
he did not care to live without her.
"She is almost gone now and I will
finish the job as soon as she is dead,'
said the note.
Evidently Sleuman had shot the
woman and while waiting for her to
die wrecked the house, afterward
killing himself.
Miss Hart had announced her inten-
tion to break the relations with Sleu.
man and lead better life. This de,
cision is supposed to have brought on
the tragedy.

70 PROVE HIS CONTENTION
Unusual Challenge Made by Anti-vac-

Unusual Challenge Made by Anti-vac-
cinationist.
Philadelphia, Oct. 2O.-An unusual
challenge to test the effectiveness Of
vaccination was issued at the opening
meeting Of the national anti-vaccina-
ton conference, which will remain in
session three days, with representa-
tives present from state and national
organizations opposed to compulsory
vaccination and other compulsory
medical practices. DR.. Rudolph
Straube Of Philadelphia, in an ad-
dress, challenged Dr. Samuel Dixon,
head of the Pennsylvania health de-
partment, to spend night in a bed
with him with a smallpox patient be-
tween them to prove the claim that
vaccination is of no benefit in pre-
venting the spread of that disease.
DR.. Dixon, DR.. Straube says, has been
vaccinated several times, while he
has never been inoculated.
During the conference national or
ganization will be formed to conduct
campaign of education throughout
the country and an effort will be
made to prove that tuberculosis and
cancer are directly due to vaccina-
ton. The proposed organization will
take the ground that all compulsory
medical practice is oppressive, If not
actually unconstitutional.
