Washington, d. C.-Vice-President
Sherman's hot weather clothes were
the envy of the senate.
Nothing like them was ever SEEN,
so far as tradition goes in the vice
presidents chair. This remarkable
looking suit Is of blue material SINH
lar to that of which light overalls are
made. The suit is not beautiful, but 1t
looked cool. 1t is of cotton grown in
Muskogee county, Georgia, and ginned,
spun into thread, woven into cloth,
dyed and tailored in the same county.
1t was presented through Representa-
tive Adams, Of Georgia.
In defense of wearing such a suit
the vice-president explained that II
lust like il would be worn by Cover
~nor-elect Brown, of Georgia, when he
Is ~inaugurated.

WIFE OF LOS ANGELES AUTO
DEALER LAST SEEN ALIVE
WITH RoBERTS.
IDENTIFIED BY DENTAL WORK
Woman Was Murdered In Suspects
Bungalow Where Bloody and
Partly Burned Clothes Were
Found-Motive a Mystery.

st. Michaels, Nd.-After searching
practically the eastern shore of Mary
land, Emmitt T.. or John II. Roberts,
Il friend of the dead woman, was ar
rested in connection with the murder
of Mrs. Edith May Woodill, wife of
Gilbert Woodill, an automobile dealer
in Los Angeles, Cal, Mrs. WOodills
nude body, the skull crushed in from
q blow apparently delivered from be-
hind, the face horribly d~isfigured, the
entire body swollen from the effects
of several days immersion and
weighted with an iron pot containing
half a dozen bricks, was discovered
by boys who were grabbing in Back
creek, a tributary of Choptank river,
not far from the home Of Mrs. Wood
ills foster father, Capt. Charles II.
Thompson, a few miles from here.
Roberts was with Mrs. Woodill when
she was seen for the last known time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Woodill came here
early this month, the latter with the
intention Of spending the summer
with her foster father. Her husband
remained only a few days, leaving, it
is understood, for Detroit. whence he
intended to return to Los Angeles.
From that time Mrs. Woodill and
Roberts are said to have seen much
of each other.
Last Saturday Mrs. Woodill went to
Easton to have some dental work done
and II had been arranged that Rob-
erts should meet her at Royal Oak
and return with her to her home. Rob
erts missed the train for Royal Oak
and drove there, met Mrs. Woodill and
drove with her back here to the land
ing, where his launch was moored
They entered the launch and Mrs.
Woodill was not seen again alive so
far as has been learned.
Investigation since made indicates
that when Roberts and Mrs. Woodill
left here they went In the launch to
a bungalow that is being built on
Roberts farm near that of Capt.
Thompson and that In this bungalow
the murder was committed. There
were found a bloody sheet and mat,
tress and portions Of the woman's
clothes, partly burned. These have
been identified as having belonged to
Mrs. Woodill.

London.-The assassination at
Stockholm of Maj. Gen. Beekman,
chief Of the Swedish coast artillery, Is
considered today the beginning OF an
anarchiStic demonstration which will
continue In the nations throughout Eu-

STA.
Secret service agents of the Swedish

ta%blished beyond a doubt the determ-
ination Of the European anarchists to
make the czar's visit cOnincidental
with co.anarclial demonstrations in
the countries through which he
travels.
Slayer Designated by Lottery.
Following the suicide of the assas-
sin of Gen. Beckman, who died yester-
day OF wound inflicted after he shot
the coast artillery chief Saturday, and
wounded Sergt. Lavender, the police
discovered his death was the prescrib-
ed end of a plot which ended in the
choosing by lottery of the man to do
the killing.
Through their discoveries the police
have established that anarchists in
Sweden, France, England, Italy and
Turkey have been preparing for
months for the cars visit, with the
purpose of attacking officials in the
countries he visits.
Agents Of the Russian secret serv-
Ice, which has been aroused by the
discovery, are hurrying along the
route which the czar will take TO as
sist the local authorities in appre-
hending suspects. They are particu-
