INSPIRED BY GHOST,
Vision Caused Elimination of
 Man MysteriousIy Dead.
FORTUNE INVOLVED IN CASE

Money Left to Little Daughter, Since
 Deceased, of Couple In Whose House
 Death Occurred - Will Contest by
 Brother Followed.
 New York, March 7.-In having the body of his brother, Walter Farms worth Baker, secretly exhumed so that at Ridgewood Park, N. J., Edward F. Baker of Boston, 1t was learned, was prompted by spectral vision. Baker, so detectives in his employ assert, has frequently talked of spectral vision which came to him in his dreams and said:
 Brother 1 have been murdered. Revenge me-"
 Evidence has been unearthed, how ever, which the Massachusetts and 1 New Jersey authorities regard as much more convincing than messages | from the spirit world. Such large l quantities of arsenic have been found in the body of the young clubman that District Attorney Ernest Rooster of Bergen county, N. J., will place the case In the hands of the grand jury on April '.
 Investi satien to Be Made. "As it has been proved" said Mir. Rooster, ''that there was no arsenic in the embaming fluid, it would appear that murder was committed. A thor ough investigation will be made, and all possible means will be taken to clear up this mystery
 Walter F. Baker died Oct. 27 of last year at the home of Mir. and Mrs. i Frank Hurd, in Bogota, N. J. As he had been taken i'll late the preceding evening in New York and been brought | to the Hurd house in an automobile a few hours before his death, Mr. Koes- ter was asked if the New York county authorities were cooperating with him in the investigation.
 | If the man was murdered the crime must have been perpetrated in New Jersey. Had the arsenic been admin istered in New York Baker could never have survived an automobile ride from Broadway and Forty-second street to | Bogota."
 Says Brother Was Murdered. Edward Baker has insisted from the | first that his brother was murdered by I poison to get hold of his estate, which has been appraised at $6O0.O00. Walter Baker left one-third of his property to Natalie Hurd, the four | year-old daughter of Mir. and Mrs, Frank Hurd. The child died on Feb. 21, and her inheritance, if upheld, will go to her parents. The balance of Bakers estate was left to Harvard col | lege and to two nephews.
 Edward Baker began a contest of his brothers will soon after Walters death. The case is set for trial in the Massachusetts courts on April 13.
 Little Natalie Hurd was richly en. dowed with bequests. Besides the $20O000 left her by Baker. she shared in her maternal grandmother's estate to the amount of $120.0O0. It Is said also that George Hurd, her grandfa. ther, had planned to make her sole heiress to his fortune, consisting of several millions.

TWENTY ARRESTED;
TWO ARE HANGED
Shah Is Dealing Severely With
RebeIIious Ones in
Teheran.
FOREIGNERS ARE SAFE.
REACHING LONDON
SAY THAT SHAH is IN FULL
CONTROL AND FOREIGNERS
ARE PROTECTED.

Teheran, June 25.-Twenty men have
been arrested since yesterday. and Me-
lex Ell Motakellmin, a preacher, and
Djaugir, the editor of a paper, were
hanged in the Shah's camp, and many
others severely flogged.
Said Abdullah, president of the Par
lament, was insulted, spat upon and
beaten by the populace while he was
conducting to the Daghshah about 80
prisoners, among whom we're Aaghi
Zadeh, a deputy, who hao taken ref
uge in the British legation.
The Cossacks stationed n front of
the legation do not know whether to
protect or fo1 bid any persons trying
to enter.
The Shah has assured the foreign
ministers that he has no intention Of
canceling the constitution.
He has sent for the priest and sew
erl influential people and told them to
take steps for a new election, house
and senate. Zahir Eidowiehs house
was shelled yesterday afternoon.
There are many versions concerning
the man who yesterday threw a bomb
into the Shah's camp. killing six SOL
diers. The perpetrator was arrested
and confessed and then was sent to the
house of Zadir Eidowieh, where his al
legged accomplices still were.
The Shah sent Cossacks and shelled
the house. Two arrests were made
and the house pillaged.
If this continues, and for every ar
rest house is bombarded, there is
danger for every one, both natives and
foreigners.

DIPLOMATIC, FRICTION
REACHES CRITICAL STAGE
Situation in Venezuela Is Not
Encouraging.

Washington, June 25.-Diplomauc
friction between Venezuela and the
United States has reached such a
critical stage that Jacob Sleeper, sec
rotary of the United States legation
at Caracas, who has been the sole
representative of this country at the
Venezuelan capital for some time, has
closed the legation and asked for his
passports. This action is due to arbi-
tration of five claims of Americans
against Venezuela.
Mr.. Voloz, the Venezuelan charge,
has not yet been advised by his gov
eminent of the withdrawal of Mr..
Sleeper. Consequently he will not APP
ply for his passports unless he is or
dered to do so and he does not expect
such an order. Diplomatic relations
with his qualification are consequent
ly understood to be completely sever
ed with America and Venezuela. Mr..
Sleeper has not yet reported his de-
parture to the state department, his
last cablegram from Caracas relating
to the plague situation.
Acting Secretary Adee is to confer
with Secretary Root and Assistant
Secretary Bacon and will then prob
ably make public the last diplomatic
correspondence relating to the Venez-
uelan troubles.

SEARS IS BITTER
Attacks SaIoonists Before
Indiana Municipal
League.
SESSIONS HAVE CLOSED.

Laporte Ind, June 25.-Wednesday's
sessions of the Indiana Municipal
league were marked for their pertinent
discussion of topics of interest to mu-
nicipal government. Local option, the
amendment of the towns and cities act
and tax equalization were among the
subjects considered by the municipal
body. Councilman J. z. Sears of
Gary. who has been one of the potent
factors in expelling the liquor inter-
ests from the steel city. discussing To-
cal option, declared it had been made
necessary by the fragrant violations of
the law by saloon keepers. The OPP
position was headed by Hugo S. Gros-
ser Of Chicago, who declared the entire
elimination of saloons from a county
or township would make drinking an
illegal act and offend the traffic of
the legalized decent saloon, which
harms no community"
Warren X. Voorhis, city attorney OF
Kokomo, favored a law eliminating
the metropolitan police. saying the po-
lice officers should be under the con-
troll of the boards of public safety ap-
pointed by the municipality. He also
recommended the amending of the cit
les and towns act in regard to streets,
municipal plants and official regula-
tons.
Equal taxation for the maintenance
and construction of gravel roads was
regarded by Mayor Roy Shattuck of
Brazil as just. All roads lead to
city and roads constructed without the
city limits certainly bring business to
the municipality and for this reason,
Mr.. Shattuck declared, the city resi-
dents should receive the same tax levy
as the country residents on such i'm
prOvements.
Mayor Schillinger of Richmond,
Mayor Arnett of Kokomo, Mayor A.
w. Hamilton of Bluffton and Mayor
Meyes of Portland made addresses at
the closing session of the league.

KENTUCKY HOPES
TO SAVE INDUSTRY
Raising of Horses Threatens
To Die Out.

Lexington, Ky, June 25.-In the
hope of saving the horse industry of
Kentucky, which suffered greatly be-
cause of the passage of anti-betting
laws in New York, a movement was
started here today to secure the con-
sent of the Government to establish a
remount station here for the breeding
and training of thoroughbred horses
for the use of cavalry officers.
1t is believed that farms of any size
desired by the Government can be
purchased at a lower price now than
for many years and the matter will
likely be taken up at once.
The only argument against the use
of thoroughbreds as war horses is said
TO be their nervousness, but it is be-
lieved that this can easily be trained
out of them.

THREATENS To BREAK
FROM UNION EMPLOYEES
Steel Corporation May Take
Steps.

New York, June 25.-No confirma-

Iron and Steel company of Pittsburg
has decided to break with its union
employees unless the Amalgamated as
ISOLATION and Sons of Veteran en-
ployes accept a cut, said to be 80 1-3
per cent, could be obtained here today.
No statement was forthcoming from
the Steel corporation. An impression
prevails here in steel circles that the
differences between the Republic Steel
company and it's workmen will be sat
isfactorily arranged.
