CAMPBELL IS HELD
Chicago Travelling Salesman Arrested
Charged With Wife's
Murder.
FOUND DEAD IN BATHTUB
Coroner Had Decided Asphyxiation as
Cause and Incident Had Been
Considered Closed.

Chicago, Jan. 30. Charged with
numbering his young wife in their
apartments at 4507 Woodlawn ave-
nue. in the early morning hours of
Dec. IA, Frank Dufferin Campbell was
arrested last evening in Kewanee, Ill.
The police move proved a complete
surprise to Campbell. who is a trav-
cling man for Franklin MacVeagh &
Co. and was making one of his usual
visits TO Kewanee.
He declared himself innocent of
charges that he was responsible in
any way for his wifes death and ex-
pressed anxiety to return to this city
as quickly as possible.
-,--------was Southern Beauty.
Mrs. Katheryn Campbell was a young
southern beauty when she became the
wife of the Chicago salesman. At the
time of her death she was only %
years old.
/ On the morning of Dec. II she was
found dead in the bathroom of theil
fiat, 4507 Woodlawn avenue. The gas
was turned on. She was fully clothed
and wore a hat. Her husband was ir
bed and the janitor, to whom a gas
leak had been reported, had a hare
time to wake him. The woman's body
was still limp and Campbell and the
Ijanitor carried it to an open window
where they used such restorative
measures as they knew while awaiting
the arrival of a physician. The lat
ter pronounced her dead.
Coroner Not Satisfied.
Deputy Coroner Adolph Herman
who conducted the inquest, expresses
his disapproval of Campbell's attitude
He regarded the salesman as an un
i, willing witness and pointed out wha

! about It, 1t would be worth the jour
ney, but you cannot, of course, so
never mind-Papa Stoughton. the light
/ house keeper, you know, had lost all
his money In a savings bank that had
failed early in that December.
A goose is really not a very expen-
sive fowl, but If one has not the
money of course one cannot buy even
a cheap thing. Papa Stoughton could
not afford a goose He said so-said
so before all the family.
Ike says that the silence that fell
upon that family then was painful to
hear. They looked at one another with
eyes so wide that it's a mercy they
could ever shut them again.
''No gooseP' at last cried Tom, who
was the oldest.
mo goose!" cried the others in
chorus, all except Baby Deb, who was
busy at the time gently admonishing
Sculpin, her most troublesome child,
for being so dirty. Baby Deb said
mo dooser' after all the others were
quiet.
That made them all laugh. No doubt
they thought that. after all. so long as
Baby Deb was there it would be
Christmas anyhow. goose or no goose.
So they were happy for moment until
the thought came that roast goose was
good on Christmas even with Baby
Deb, and then they looked dismayed
again.
However, when Papa Stoughton ex-
planned how it was they saw 1t as
plainly as he did, and so they made
no more complaint. Only Tom fell
a-thinking, and when the others saw
what be was doing they did the same,
the difference being that Tom was
trying to think what be could do to
get the goose anyhow and they were
trying to think what be was thinking
about so that they could think the
same-aIl except Baby Deb. of course.

herself very little concern about the
thoughts Of others. Her own thoughts
took all her time.
Tom finally said "Ahr' under his

her that It was a question Of eating,
and she did not wish to be left out.
"Of course you, too, you deary dunn

continued when order was restored,

And father was told, and for some
reason he pretended to look out Of the
window very suddenly. but he did
not. He wiped his eyes. and Mamma
stoughton wiped her spectacles and
winked very hard and said:
''Bless their hearts!'
For, you see, these parents we're
very simple hearted folk, and it seem
ed to them very affecting that the
children should make such sacrifices
to procure the goose for Christmas.
"And what does Baby Deb contrib

Of joke.

Deb's reply when the matter was ex-

Oh, what a laugh there was then,

Baby Deb was Rugged and kissed as

A CHANCE FOR THE HAGUE.

The Hague International Court of
Arbitration Is fooling away Its time
with nothing to do. when great lot Of
disputes might satisfactorily occupy
its attention. There Is the trouble be-
tween Bolivia and Peru, for instance,
which certainly admits Of settlement
by arbitration. Bolivia has no sea-
coast and Ia anxious to reach the
ocean. That country casts longing
eyes on Peru's riparian boundary, and
there are those who fear that she
seeks pretext to go to war with that
country and seize maritime province,
or else exact one as an indemnity. The
attitude of Chile In this case rs
watched with solicitude, for II the lat
ter country should lend assistance to
Bolivia Peru would probably have to
submit. The only ground for dispute
at present appears to be alleged dis
satisfaction of Bolivia over the Argen-
tine award, which was favorable to
Peru, but as this was the result OF ar.
bitration 1t Is too small an affair to
go to war about. Bolivia would lay
herself open to severe condemnation
If she began hostilities on trumped-
up cause, but considerations OF this
character have not always deferred
Spanish-American republics from
seeking their own ends.

WHAT Is PAINT?

The paint on a house is the extreme
outside of the house. The wood Is
simply a structural under layer. That
is as it should be. Unprotected wood
will not we'll withstand weather. But
paint made of pure white lead and

against sun and rain, heat and cold.
Such paint protects and preserves,
fortifying the perishable wood with a

The enormous sum-. accumulated in
the savings banks of the country-in-
situations organized for that purpose
excluslvely-does not, after all, repre-
sent all the accumulations of the peo-
pie. The report from the comptroller
of the currency at Washington shows
that the savings deposits in the ma
tional banks, many Of which encourage
thrift by inviting persons to place
small amounts in their keeping, pay
ing interest thereon, amount to $780,
$4,000. Surely this is a very tidy
sum, and added to the billions in the
savings banks shows that the eco
nomical and saving have a very siz-
able and satisfactory financial anchor
to the windward in tie event OF a
storm approaching.

They are digging away at the Pana-
ma canal and the officers report that
the amount of excavation is now equal
to that made during the entire French
administration. In addition a great
deal of other work has been done,
while the sanitary conditions assured
by the thorough advance preparations,
though they have taken much time,
have proved life savers. There are
still 100000 900 cubic yards of earth
and rock to be removed, but Col.
Goethals reiterates the declaration
that the canal will be ready for use in
1915. There is no doubt that the COM
merce of the world is eagerly awaiting
the finish.
