81. John, n. b, Sept. 3.-Something of

Walter B. Dickson, NJ P. p. of Hillsboro'

his business affairs involved. An abb

W. Malcolm Mckay, one of st. Johns
largest lumber dealers, for whom Dickson
has been Hillsboro agent for years. 1t
was alleged in the affidavit on which the
order was granted that Dickson had de-

lumber orders.

day evening, with speeches by Hon.
William r. Haines of Waterville. Hon.
John P. Swasey, candidate for Con-
gress from the I'd district. and Hon.
Herbert M. Heath 1t was the biggest
rally the Republicans have held for
several years, the hall being filled to
overlooking and much enthusiasm be-
ing manifested.
Gen. Frank L. Hoyt of this city pre-
sided and introduced the speakers
Mr.. Hanes spoke first. combining HIM
self to state issues and particularly to
the Democratic charges of extrava-
gance in the conduct of State affairs.
Mr. Swasey next spoke. discussing
particularly the tariff and answering
the speech on that subject made by
his opponent, Hon. D. j. McGillicuddy
of this CITY. at City hall short time
ago. He discussed particularly the fig
ures given by Mr. McGillicuddy, claim
ing them to be entirely without au-
thority. and giving figures from Unit
ed States reports to contradict them.
Mr.. Heath spoke upon both State ana
national issues. In regard to the for
lner he referred to the Sturgis law. and
said frankly that he did not believe in
it, He did not when it was passed,
did not now and never should believe
in it. He said that in 1905 the Demo-
cratic sheriffs of AndroScoggin and
Cumberland counties had insolently set
themselves up as sureriOr to the law of
the State. and that two Republican
sheriffs in other counties, which he
would not specify, did the same thing.
The Legislature lacked the moral cour
age to impeach these four men, as they
might have done, but instead adopted
this miserable makeshift to teach them
that the law of the State was mightier
than they.
He argued that the national policy
Of the Republican party is of greater
Importance than any mere state issue
For 81 months of the term of the next
Governor he would have the sole and
sors to Senators Frye and Hale, should
any vacancy occur, and for the other
three months the Legislature elected
in September would have the power of
elccting such A successor. The neceS-

icy of protection in the nation was SO
great that he believed in the duty of

STUNNED, THEN sTRANGLED
Is Theory Of Jordan Murder-Jordan
Arraigned, Pleads Not Guilty.

Boston, Sept. 4.-Startling evidence,
throwing new light on the probable
manner in which Honorah Jordan of
Somerville known on the stage as Irene
Shannon. was killed was revealed to-
day, it is claimed by the medical eX-
aminers for Suffolk and Middlesex
; counties and of surgeons who have
been engaged in the task of perform
ing an autopsy on the mutilated re-
mains.
Jordan in his confession to the po-
lice last night stated that his wife was
killed by being knocked down stairs
and he then cut up the body and pla:-
ed it in the trunk in which it was
found yesterday afternoon by the po-
lice on Hancock street. While neither
medical examiner will state the find
ings tonight. it was learned from a
reliable source that the examinations
seemed to show that Mrs. Jordan met
her death by being struck with blunt
instrument possibly fiat iron on the
top of the front of her head, causing
fracture sufficient to cause death.
Then, it is claimed she was Strangled.
The police have in their possession
a bread knife sharpened to- keen
edge, pair of shears - inches long
and razor which Jordan claims he
purchased Wednesday and used in
cutting up his wife. There was L.,
blood on the instruments, Jordan in
his confession stating he had washed
them carefully at the same time he
did the clothes of his wife.
Tomorrow the authorities will make
microscopical examination of the
neck to determine more closely the
character of the wounds. Dr. Swan OF
Cambridge and DR.. Timothy Leary, as
sistant medical examiner of Boston,
assisted in the autopsy.
Jordan was today arraigned in the
Somerville court on the charge Of
numbering his wife, and pleaded not
guilty. The case was continued for Il
hearing until Friday, Sept. IL, and
Jordan was remanded to the Ea@.
Cambridge jail
