Mrs. . II. p. Belmont graced a meeting
last night at the Wadleigh High School,
II 9Th street and seventh avenue. which she
is trying 10 convert into training school
for suffra gettes. As IL Is one OF the larg-

mestcty. lie would not allow notices OF

NOT SUICIDE PACT.
Prosecutors DetectiJe Says
Isabel Richie SIcrc Sister.

Defective Tecd. of the prosecutors Of
fee in Newark. made a thorough invescigs-
ton yesterday of the home OF the two aged
sisters. Frances and Isabel Richie. who
were found dead on Sunday. He discov-
cred an envelope addressed 20 "Mr. Lock-
wood" containing s157. and another adj
dressed TO Miss Phillips" containing s35.
The detective says he believes that Frances
was killed by her sister who then hanged
herself lie bases his belief on the fact
that II has been shown that Isabel had ex-
hibited signs OF mental disorder and de-
spondency and had made threats OF sui
eide and on the positions or the bodies and
the condition IN which they were found.
A close examination Of the bodies showed
that hatpin with black head was stick
ing IN the breast OF Frances close 20 the
heart. 1t had penetrated TO a depth OF
about four inches. There were other
wounds which looked as IL they also had
been made with a hatpfn.
After performing an autopsy on Sunday
night with tho assistance OF DIT. Harrison
MARYLAND. County Physician Mckenzie de-
cided that both women had died from
stranguatlOn. He said that the wound In
the heart of Frances had not caused death,
and his theory was that. after stabbing
herself. the woman had hanged herself and
that her sister had cut down the body and
arranged IL as found and had then hanged
herself
The autopsy on the body OF Isabel also
disclosed stab wounds In the breast that
looked n made by hatpin. but they
were slight and not sufficient TO have caused
death.

from which a car of 30 tons shipped
recently gave net returns Of $S7 per

in a continuous shoot of ore, while
200 feet further in on the tunnel No.
3 winze has opened a second ore shoot.
These leasers are installing a gaso-
line hoist and promise TO make
heavy production.
The Rattlesnake claim. which was
one of the famous producers of the
original owners and productive or very
rich ore, is under lease to a quintette
of practical miners, Nicholas, Becker,
Sauve, Phipps and La Pree, each OF
them doing his daily stunt with the
single jack. Sinking is in progress on
the 800 foot level and the winze, which
is in ore showing sulphides will be
carried down to the 1000 foot level.
These leasers have announced their
ability to furnish the mill with 90
tons daily.
The new mill of the company at
