TOO MUCH
Police Now Have Another
Theory About the Can
ton Murder.

Gel ton, o., Jan. 14.-Fear that
he WOULD be sent back to the Mans
field reformatory because OF what
Elizabeth Brown knew, is the latest
police theory for the murder with
wh,ch they charge Albert Lukens.
| fiIs follows the Tearing of fur
thcr details concerning the Cincin-
nati crime for which Lukens was
s mt to Mansfield. 1t is known that
he would have been given his final
release Thursday and it Us believed
thar he feared the girl would tell
enough about him to void his
pa ole.
1t is also claimed that though
l. hens appeared to have no money
the night before the crime he paid
his board bill the next day. This
is token by some to strengthen
the robbery theory. William Blair.

of the crime with Lukons, is still

PURPLE FAD IN PARIS.
Brightest Of Hues Find Favor In the
French Capital.


A mention of purple is justified by
the fact that this color In the bright
est of hues seems fad in Paris at
the moment. There are entire cos.
tunes of it. large hats and coats Of 1t,
and everything about the toilette Is
purple. 1t is as II the women Of
fashion were royalty mourning for
something departed, as indeed they
are--"we are mourning the hasty de.
parture of tooshort summer" as
some one pat 1t In one of the smart
ateiers the other afternoon.
There Is nothing unusual about this
new vogue, however, for Paris often
gees mad over color. usually a diff
cult one; but thcn complexions and
hair do not matter in land that owns
the best parfarmeurs and coiffcurs in
the world.
A number OF exquisite silk frocks
In purple are stamped with motifs OF
cloth. They are perfect works of art
besides being strikingly original; but
alas, originality nowadays means end
less patience in ordering new cloths
and endless coin, to use forceful bit
of American slang.
Purple seldom appears in the strip
ed materials. but is used effectively
for pipings, being especially smart
upon light gray, white or even pale
blue.

After Holding Long Confer

Washington, Dec. 14.-Represent-

Probably the card of Senator-elect
Bradley in the Courier Journal had
much to do with this decision.
