HUSBAND IS SUSPECTED
WIFE AND TWO-WEEK.OLD
BABE MISSING.
Sharpsburg, Nd, Man Arrested on
Circumstantial Evidence Re-
fuses to Talk.

LANCASTER. Pa, June 20. - ]. C.
Grice, member of the senior class OF
the Millersville Normal School and q
resident of Sharpsburg. Md. was placed
under arrest here last night on suspicion
of having murdered his wife and two
week-old baby. Grice is twenty-five
years old. and his wife. who was Miss
Ellen Dorsey, also of Sharpsburg, is
twenty years old. The couple have been
boarding in this city, and last Thursday
evening he hired a carriage. stating he
was going to take his wife to the railway
station to send her to her home.
The last seen of the woman and baby
was when they entered the carriage. A
storm was raging at the time and neigh
bors expostulated against taking the
woman out in such weather. Grice said
what he did was none of their business.
His actions aroused the suspicious of the
neighbors and the police were notified.
An investigation disclosed that the wom-
an did not arrive at her home. The pO-
lice say they found that no one answer
ing her description got on the train and
no tickets were sold that night to
Hagerstown or Antietam, the points from
which she sould reach her home.
Grice is reticent and all the police can
get out Of him. they say, Is that he put
his wife and child on the train and sent
them home.
The police claim they have some cir
cumstantial evidence which they refuse
to disclose at the present time.

ACCUSES A POLICEMAN
OF CRUELTY TO DOG
Boston Bull Terrier Brutality Club
bed Is Charge Made by
Mr.. McQuade

Dick, Harry Haight's Boston bull ter
rier, fell victim of a policeman's club
this morning while playing about the
street near it's owners place of business
on f street and had to be taken to DR..
Robinson's hospital. The dog was near
10th and streets when Policeman Clay
of the first precinct is alleged to have
used his baton with telling effect.
Pedestrians who witnessed the affair be-
came indignant. and. according to some
of them, trouble was narrowly averted
They discussed the affair and decided to
go to police headquarters in body to
enter a protest against the policeman
but only one of them. Martin McQuade
an employe of the Washington Gas Light
Company, did the protesting.
1t is said that two dogs belonging TO
the restaurant keeper were playing on
the street, and that when the Boston bull
went toward a street car where two
women were standing the policeman
thought it was going TO attack them. He
is said to have used his club on the head
of the animal and drawn so much blood
that the canine had trouble in staggering
in the direction Of it's owners place of
business.
Those who Witnessed the affair. it Is
stated, became indignant. and some of
them wanted to take the policeman to
task about what he had done. No EFFORT
at violence was made. however, and Mr..
McQuade hurried to headquarters to re-
port the incident Harry Haight says his
dog was worth 500. but he fears II will
not recover from the effects of today
experience.

Safe and sane Fourth of July money is
expected to arrive at the Office of W. V.

mail Since the last meeting of the exec
utive committee the efforts of the finan-
ciaI workers have been redoubled, and 1t
is expected that the condition which
makes the safe and sane purse a very
slim one, indeed, will be remedied in
snort order. However. unless the sixteen
hundred and odd dollars now to the
credit of the Joint committee is increased
very substantially the safe and sane
Fourth plans will have to be abandoned.
Much interest is being taken by subur-
ban associations. clubs. citizens associa-
lions and neighborhoods too far away
from the center of the city to derive
much benefit from the general program
for the day. Permits are being granted
almost daily for special fireworks cele-
brations in the suburban sections of the
city. Petworth. lexington and Bloom
ingdale are the latest suburbs to apply
for permits.

WOULD CENSOR STATUES
GIVEN TO HALL OF FAME
Senator Hepburn Proposes That for
Other Than Busts of Vice Presi-
dents Congress Must Give Consent,

Senator Hepburn today proposed a joint
resolution which will prevent the placing
of statuary. paintings or other works of
art other than the busts of the Vice
Presidents in the United States Capitol
until they have been formally accepted
BY Congress.
This Is one of the products of Senator
Heyburn's opposition to the acceptance
of the statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee to
grace Statuary Hail. Under present law
statues have been allowed to be placed
In the hall of fame at any time and sew
eral Of them have never been formally
accepted by Congress. That is the case
of the Lee statue. but to all intents and
purposes Lee is made one Of the galaxy
of national heroes honored by having an
effigy in marble in the hall of fame.
Ii is not unlikely that this resolution
will get some support. as it will not af-
feet the status OF the Lee statue. The
support will come, however, from those
who have wept verbal tears whenever the
artistic effect Of the group of statues is
mentioned.

Speedy Action.

The last preliminary step looking to
an investigation OF the charges against
Senator Lorimer of Illinois. in connection
with his election to the Senate, was taken
by the Senate today. The Senate adopted
q resolution providing for the inquiry.
Senator Borah sought to have the reso-
luton so amended as to direct that the

motion to that effect was voted down.
In presenting the amendment Mr.. Borah
argued that expedition was necessary.
both in the interest Of Senator Lorimer
and the public and he stated that he be-
Heved such instruction necessary because
of past delays in such cases He said'
however. that he intended no reflection
on the committee on privileges and cleo
tons, which will have the investigation
in hand.
Senator Burrows who is chairman OF
the committee, however, interpreted the
amendment as a reflection and PROMISED

comedy OF errors. the scenes being in

under an impression for time that
the Florida herself had been sunk.

STATEMENT BY MR.. KNOX
RESPECTS PRESIDENTS WISH
THAT HE STAY IN CABINET.
Otherwise Would Accept Republican
Nomination for Pennsylvania
Governor if rendered.

Secretary Knox will not enter the
gubernatorial contest in Pennsylvania.
To meet the wishes Of President Taft he
will remain at the helm of the Depart
ment Of State until the end of the pres
ent administration.
In formal statement on the subject
yesterday Secretary Knox said:
The President having expressed to me
this morning his earnest wish that
should remain at my present post, 1 am
constrained to decline to allow my name
to be presented as a candidate for Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania at the forthcoming
republican convention. But for this !
would have deemed 1t my duty to have
accepted the nomination II it had come
to me as the general choice Of the party.
appreciate the expression and as
surances OF support I have already re-
ceived. and l hope and am sure the con-
vention will be able to find q candidate
who will merit the full support of the
party at this particularly important time.
In my judgment there Is no more fruit
full field for high public service at this
period than In the states, whose powers
and relations should be appreciated. ex-
ercised and preserved for the general
good of the whole country
Interest in Convention.
Pennsylvania republicans in Washing
ton are watching with great interest
events at Harrisburg. preliminary to the
meeting of the republican state conven-
tion next Wednesday for the nominal ton
of candidate for governor The posi-
tive announcement by Secretary Knox
that he will not allow his name to 60
before the convention brings the situation
back to the status 1t held before Mr.
Magee of Pittsburg sprung he ->nox
boom.
That situation contemplated the
nomination of Representative Tener of
the CharlerOi district as the choice OF
Senator Penrose. unless the state lead
ers found valid objection to 1t.
Senator Penrose is at Harrisburg to-
day to sound the sentiment Of the state
leaders, or perhaps more correctly to
put 1t. to fmpart his opinions to the
state leaders.
1t is known here that Mr.. Tener is re-
garded by Senator Penrose as very avail
able timber. 1t is known that the SEN
ator was somewhat put out by the spring
ing of the Knox boom, because it inter-
fered with some Of his own plans and not
because he had the slightest objection to
Secretary Knox.
1t is not thought here that the conven-
ton will develop any friction.
