TROUBLE IN HIS HEAD
peacribed by his Wife-Told How

Theory.

port Huron. Mich, Jan. 9.-With
the exhaustion here today OF every
known clue that would tend TO clear
M the Rattle Run" Methodist church
murder mystery interest tonight III
the case is centered in the search ne'
ing made for Rev, John H. Car
michael in Chicago
Three detectives who have beeh
working on the casen here are in Chi-
cago assisting the officers there in
search for the missing minister.
Excepting the fact that man an
swering the minister's description
took an early morning train from Tuh'
mel station here Wednesday morning
for Chicago, there were few real de
velopments in the mystery today.
Trouble in His Head.
Mrs. Carmichael was brought here
today for further examination by
Prosecutor Brown. One fact of I'M
portance was developed. Mrs. Car
michael told the prosecutor that her
husband had for some time suffered
from an affection In the head, when
caused a pus to form and discharge
from his ears.
This trouble in his heal is taken by
some of the investigators to support
the belief that Carmichael must have
been igsane, ii he was guilty OF the
cIaugtfM of BroWnlug
Search for Carmichael in Chicago
is based on a statement OF Ticker
Agent Land at the Grand Trunk Tun
mel Depot. that Wednesday morning
about 5 o'clock, about ten hours aflel
the probable hour OF the crimeu
bearded man wearing fur coat an.
resembling Rev. Carmichael, came in
to the depot, bought a ticket for chi
cago. boarded the early train for th<
west. Land, however, could not posi-
lively identify a picture of Carmichae
as his early morning visitor.
May Have Been Minister.
In support of the belief that 1t was
Carmichael who took the train Wei
nesday morning is the fact that tbs
minister's horse was found few
miles from the Tunnel depot, headed
back toward the scene of the murder
II Is figured that if Lands identitl
cation Is correct, the minister drove
from the church to the neighobrhhoo,
of the depot and then started hi'
horse back toward home.
The authorities tonight are N
nearer a solution of the battling ques
ton of the motive for the brutal Kill

WOMAN FLITS WITH BABY
AND DAZES HIS FATHER
Former Husband Asks Court to
Modify Decree

OAKLAND, Oct. 26.-The nimble flea,
famed for its activity, is as dray
horse chained to a post compared to
Mrs. Jennie Miller, according to Pc
tition which her former husband, w. O.
Miller. presented to Judge Harris to-
day. Unable to follow the movements
Of the woman, even though she deluge1
him with constant notifications, Miller
sought to end his interest in her where
abouts by taking their infant son from
her custody. He had several grounds
for this. the chief being that she often
changed her postoffice box number
over night and never failed to notify
him.
The Millers were divorced a year ago,
and Mrs. Miller kept the child, with
instructions from the court that Miller
should be allowed to see the boy when
he liked. Being unable to do so. he
now wants the child all the time.
Mrs. Miller kept stream of post
cards focused upon him while she
fitted from Oakland to San Rafael, to
Tracey, to West Berkeley, to Brentwood
and over endless street addresses and
postoffice boxes. Once she said that
inquiries at a certain cigar store would
reveal her residence. Often she said
that "baby's" address was a postoffice
box number and that SIS was due for
his maintenance. Dazed by her will o.
the wisp activities, Miller accused her
of being unfit to have the baby and
asked Judge Harris to modify the de-
cree of divorce

dearest boy in the world" and that
he was veritableN Papa Boo" Later
she told him that she had taken some
of her things from their home and
trusted him to be fair in disposing of
the remainder. Edwards showed her
letters as proof of her desertion and

DIPLOMAT TELLS OF
new BORN PERSIA
Mira Ali KuIi Khan Addresses
Clubwomen and Their Guests
at Ebelle

OAKLAND, Oct. 26.--In the hour and
half Mira Ali Kuli Khan addressed
the club women and their guests at
Eben this afternoon. he held his audi
ence spellbound. He is the imperial
Persian minister to Washington. and
his wife is charming Boston woman.
They have been spending the summer
at Carmel-by -the-Sea.
s.The Newborn Persia" whose con-
stitution has been won by the she'd
ding of no blood. but whose validity
has been maintained by the sacrifice
of thousands of lives, was the theme
of the address. It was marked by
touches of pathos-bits of human in
terest and a mastery knowledge of
the ancient kingdom of Persia.
According to Mira Ali Kuli Khan
domestic life in the land of the shah
has been far happier than that in
other countries. The yelling of the
women and the sharp line drawn be-
tween the sexes have made marriage
more lasting institution even though
divorce is permitted. The victory of
ago resulted in the overthrow of the
former shah and the substitution of
a constitutional monarchy, has given
to the new Persia freedom of thought
and of the press. The women have
opportunities for education and train
ing which were never known before.
In the four years fight which has
been made for liberty, only one for
eigner was killed among the 100000
men who were slaughtered in battle.
This man was young American mis-
sionary who shared the fortunes of war
with the national party against the i'm
perial forces Of the shah. The patriotic
forces boasted among its soldiers
women as well as men who fought for
their freedom.
The first contemplated railroad which
will be built north and south through
the country will shorten the route
from London to India by eight days.
THE task of the new Persia" said
the lecturer, will be to wage war
for the peace. of the world; to offer
itself as sacrifice upon the altar of
human betterment and human happi-
ness, and to bring about oneness of
the human race in so much as lies
in it's power"

Her on Two Occasions

OAKLAND. Oct. 2S.-Carbolic acid
was sought as a means of relief by
Mrs. Flora Young today, after. as she
said. her husband Richard had de-
serted her for the second time. She
was found in a semiconscious condi-
tion In her home at 405 Tenth street,

by Steward PIatt at the receiving hos
pital was effective in revivfng her
and she was afterward put to bed
in the ward. under observation. She
will probably recover, though her
stomach and mouth were badly burned
by the fiery fluid.
Mrs. Young explained that two days
ago her husband left her again after
drinking heavily. She became de-
-spondent and decided to end her life
with the acid. They have one son.

GAMBLERS MOVETO
DEFEAT ORDINANCE
File Petition for Submission of
Slot Machine Measure to
the People
[seeeial Dispatch 10 The Call

PALO ALTO, Oct ga petition for
a referendum election on the ordinance
prohibiting the use of nickel in the
slot machines and other forms of gam
bling has been filed with city Clerk
Walker of Palo Alto. The petition is
request that the ordinance be sub
mitted to a vote of the people at the
next general election, year and half
hence. The proprietors of the local
cigar stands and billiard halls are be-
hind the petition.
The total vote in Palo Alto, on which
the percentage OF signatures for a
referendum is based, is 335. If the
petitioners had desired to make it man
datory that special election to vote
on the ordinance be called, 20 per cent
of this vote, or 81 signatures to the
petition, would have been required. But
this is not the wish OF the owners OF
the slot machines Their desire is
the next general election, which would
leave the ordinance imperative and
permit the use of slot machines as If
the law had never been adopted.
The Federation OF Mems Church
Clubs held an enthusiastic meeting last
night at the Congregational church. the
purpose of the meeting being the con-
sideration of steps toward a measure
against the petition already filed for a
referendum vote on the slot machine
ordinance. d. A. Curry was appointed
chairman and ". H. Kelly secretary of
the meeting.
Rev. c. L. Beal said he was opposed
to slot machines and Sunday shows.
He was not against the poolrooms,
however. Professor Green said that a
drunkard sometimes reforms. but a
gambler never does. He was also
against the machines.
Prof. r. NJ. Alden said that the mere
use of poolrooms would not carry such
dire results as many feared, but the
environment would not be for the best
good. ]. c. Templeton, A. w. Bell, H.
w. Simkins. w. e. Vail, c. j. Moore,
Professor Shedd and d. B. Willard
also spoke.
motion was adopted calling for a
special election to vote on the abol-
ishing of the slot machines. Then an
initiative ordinance was read prohib-
iting poolrooms from opening on Sun
day.
