Suit Against Insurance Conn
pany Brings Out Sensa-
tional Feature.
Physicians Wife Dead, With
Insurance of SIS, 900, and
Autopsy Revealed Arsenic
Which Might Have Been
Caused From Embalrning
Fluid.
BY Associated Press.

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 29-Traces of
arsenic, which it is said might have
been present in the embalming fluid.
were found in the stomach of the wife
of DIR. ]. B. Fisher, plaintiff in a SEN
sational suit against the Pacific Mu-
tual Life Insurance company by which
he seeks to collect $4,000 insurance
on his wife, according TO report on
the autopsy made by DR.. Louis Leroy
and read in court yesterday,
The report of Dr. Leroy and the ap-
pearance of Mrs. F. b. James, whom
Dr. Fisher admitted he induced to
leave town because she would prob
ably be wanted as witness in the
case, constituted the feature of Mon
days session.
AS soon as the appearance of Mrs.
James in the city was announced,
subpoena was issued for her. Her
testimony will doubtless prove the
sensation of the trial, as DIR. Fisher on
the stand admitted that he had been
maintaining her few doors from his
home before his wife died.
DR.. Leroy was called into the case
by the insurance company. He had
the body of Mrs. Fisher exhumed, it
being doubted by the company that
she died from street car accident.
A post mortem was held and evident
traces St arsenic were found in the
stomach. According TO the report of
DR.. Leroy no internal injuries were
discovered that would have caused
death.

William G. Monroe.
Mr.. Monroe took for his text the
title Of a pamphlet issued by a local
Re epublican, who, he said, was drift
ing toward federal appointment. He
referred TO the time when the white
Democrats of this place were spat
upon when the city was under Repub
lfcan control and when white men
had 10 go armed TO protect their
homes He styled the logic talked of
in this campaign by the Republicans
as logic foT revenue only" and said
that if anyone doubted the fact that
the Republican county executive COM
mittee was largely composed of ne
groes he would refer them to the Ger.
tiflcates of nomination on file with
the county commissioners. Anyone
who voted in the primary and fails to
vote he straight ticket in the election
Tuesday is prostituting his democra-
cy," declared Mr.. Monroe. He con-
tended. that il the local Republicans
intended to render good service to
the city they should join the white
mans party,
w. A. Blount, Jr.
Mr.. Blount confined his remarks
chiefly to an appeal for the voters to-
work for the adoption of the three
constitutional amendments. He said
that the maintenance OF the state
school at present depended upon the
whims of the different legislatures and
especially asked that the amendment
referring TO the levying of tax for
the maintenance of this institution be
adopted When you voted in the
primary you entered into. a solemn
obligation with the Democratic party
and, as men of honor, If you wished
to walk down the streets of this city
without blush coming to your face,
you should vote the straight Demo-
cratic ticket" said he.
Scott M. Loftin.
Mr.. Loftin said the meeting afford
ed him an opportunity to thank those
who voted for him in the primary,
and while his name would not appear
on the ballot in the coming election,
because the Office for which ne was
nominated is an appointive one, he
has not lost interest in the election
of next Tuesday. He said the Repub-
llcans were making use of the same
old cry IF you do not vote for Taft
the country would go to ruin
Where is the full dinner pail?" ask
ed the speaker. At this juncture he
told of how long lines of white men
IN New York waited to get free bread.
He said Taft denied the working
people the right of trial by jury and
was the worst enemy of the laboring
man in the United States. He said
that Taft had visited the south for
the purpose of breaking the solid
south and the speaker urged discour-
agement of the effort now being made
TO get ii an entering wedge. 1T is
incumbent upon every Democrat to
vote for the nominees if he has any
respect for his honor" said Mr.. Lof-
tin He said that Bingham did not
know what he was asking for, be-
cause there was a curiosity" in

 The edict setting forth the ascension of Pu Vi to the throne and granting amnesty was carried with much cere- mony to the throne hail. It was es- corted by all the members of the grand council. who were in turn ac- companied by the members of the board of rights. In the throne hall 1t was given the official vermilion seal. This observance concluded. it was CIT ried out of the Forbidden City and
 thence to the office of the Board Of
 Rights, where it was proclaimed and
 put in circulation.
 In addition to granting amnesty for certain specified expenses, the edict sets forth that henceforward all i'm
 perial princes and princesses win be addressed as dukes; it promotes all officials by one degree, and bestoss lnonors on theirs parents; it erases the demerits entered against minur officials, advances the degree of
 scholars; dismisses all pending petty criminal cases: excuses certain liabii- ties, and grants bounties to the sol diers in the service of the empire. The fact that the enthronement or the new emperor has taken place aas in part re-established confidence here and has resulted in the prophecy in various circles of an extremely con seryative rule. The dowager empress has reinstated the notorious eunuch,
 Lo Lien Ting, as head of the palace administration. Prince Chun's first appointee was personal friend The best informed ministers, how
 ever, are inclined to think that the
 outward sign of calm has been bought with promises, which, if kept, will completely change the personnel of the Pekin government immediately the hundred days of mourning are
 ended.

Amid Werid Writes Scepter of Land of Rising Sun Passed to We Pu Wi, Three Years Of Age.

PEKIN, Dec. 7.--Ch'na harked back to the mystic ceremonials of it's an- cestors for a few brief hours while the empire kowtowed to toddling. ar mond- eyed babe of taree and made Forbidden City.
 That wee Pu ii might assume tho dragon crown under the name of Hsu- ian-TuHg, the mourning which Pekin has observed since the emperor ana ldowager empress passed away, was suspended for the weird archair rite. The ceremony was absolutely diff ferent from anything ever seen in the western world on any similar occasion. It included obeisanees to the tabieJs of the dead emperor and empress anu prostrations before the infant empeG- or. the three. year-old son of Prince Caun.
 The ceremony took place in the throne hall of the Forbidden City. The officials present were selected with great care and were the highest men lin the empire. According to an old established custom number oI humble coolies. men from the lowest walks of life, were brought into the sacred precincts of the Forbidden City to act as witnesses The soldiery played but an inconspicuous part in the proceedings.
 At 1l-30 the officials began leaving
 he palace. Traffic outside the For bidden City was at no time impeded. The scene was enlivened by a num- Der of pilgrims who had come in on camels all the way from Mongolia.
 All day yesterday sacrifices were made to their late majesties by the
