With Mrs. Fletcher Johnson
stoutly maintaining that she shot
and killed Frank r. Hall to pre-
vent him from killing her, because
she refused to elope with him and
to be untrue to her husband and
children, the best friend of Hall
now comes forward with a story
directly the opposite, which he
says Hall told him concerning his
relations with the woman.
Hall His Assumed Name.
John Katschner, 2920k East d
street lived with Hall for years
before he married. They were
bosom friends. Katschner says
that Halls name was Hauck and
that he went by the name of Hall
so his wife, whom he deserted in
San Francisco, could not locate
him. He declares Hall told him
all about his relations with Mrs.
johnson, stating that she was mad
ly in love with him, and that he
was trying to get away, but that
she persisted in demanding his
love in return for her own. AS
result of his refusal to complete
ly comply with her requests and
elope with her they often
Iquarrelled, Katschner says Hall
told him.
The inquest, which will deter
mine whether Mrs. johnson will
be held for trial for killing Hall,
is being held today at the Piper
undertaking rooms in South Taco
ma, and verdict is expected late
this afternoon.
Mrs. Johnson, her little son
Earl, and DR.. Swearingen were
examined this morning and the
case was given to the coroner's
jury shortly before o'clock.
"My friend was, 1 believe max
ing a final attempt to get away
from Mrs. Johnson's home on the
day he met his DEATH" Said
Katschner. mot later than July
he told me of his plans to leave
the Johnson home. He had often

rigation company, was shot early
today in front of his home, GIG

BILE scuffle with two men just a
few moments before the shot was
fired. Irwin declares that he has
no idea of the identity of his as

Thousands of Little Tots Sacrificed in Veritable

Right here In Tacoma, the
increase in infant mortality
already this summer is start
hing. Despite the temperate
weather. despite the cooling
breezes, there was 800 per
cent more deaths among the
babies under one year of age
in May this year than last
year. And in June this year
the increase was 200 per cent
over the same month of
1900. 1t is truely the 'sBlack

More startling still Is the
record for babies over one

Bomb Kills
Mayor

RIDGEWAY, Va, July 25.-
Mayor A. Fl. Douseman was killed
today by the explosion of dyna-
mite bomb, which was hurled at
him by an unidentified person.
Douseman was lying in his ham,
mock in front of his home when
the bomb was thrown. The ex.
plosion mutilated the mayors
body terribly and the features
were almost unrecognizable.
Members of the family and
friends of the mayor are at loss
to account for the assassination.

All the doctors in town are
laughing over 1t and wanting an
interview with the fellow who dis
covered the drug that has such
marvellous effects.
Someone on boarding the car
at Fern Hill had dashed some
| liquid disguised by the ordor of
oil of cloves upon the conductors
coat. He believes he was doped
by fumes OF chloroform. Two
minutes after the stuff had been
spilled upon him, Fournier says,
he felt himself getting drowsy.
Soon afterward he became so i'll
he had to be lifted to a seat.
From Forty-eighth street and
Yakima avenue until he was taken
off at Eleventh street he slept
through it ALL" So reads the
story this morning.
It's great.
The fellow who administered
that "chloroform" can get life
job at any of the local hospitals
for administering anaesthetics. 1t
generally takes 250 drops to put
man to sleep and then he only
snoozes for minute and comes
out. An ordinary man can drink
100 drops and still be good for
business.
Doctors Would Like to Know.
But maybe it is some new drug.
II so the doctors want it. Wouldn't t
it be great for putting out your
enemies? Just sprinkle them
with drop or two and away they
go floating into the arms of Nor
pheus. And 1t don't affect any,
body else either. There were 140
passengers on that car squeezed
up against the conductor like SO
many sardines in a box and it
never pleased one; just toppled
the conductor over and all the
rest were happy, riding for moth
ing.
Don't that beat anything Mum
chausen ever got off?
But the T. r. & P. officials are
all serious about it.
"Oh,yes; he was very sick
man when he came in; it was ap-
parently a very powerful drug"
said the superintendent. "It had
been disguised by oil of cloves
as We could smell that distinctly" /"
Yes, I've often smelled cloves
on some fellow who wanted to
disguise the kind of refreshments
he had been having" said a Fern
Hill man today who was scouting
the idea that anybody out there
was trying any such scheme to put
street car men out of commission
by doping them so they could ride
to town free.
AS a matter of fact IL is said a
big bunch of people did get off
with not only five cent fare but
no fare at all on this trip with
Joe Fournier but that Fern Hill
has a secret drug that incapaci-
tates a man on the spot and makes
it easy to beat the railway does
not sound nearly as reasonable to
the average fellow as that the
whole story was concocted by
some fellow around the T. r. &
p. who knew little but not much
about chloroform and who evolv.
ed this tale to account for Four.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS

We are in favor of the establish
ment Of postal savings banks, pro.
viding they are true to name, and
not postal storage houses. There
is great difference between bank
ing and storage, although many
people never think of it.
If the money is deposited to be
stored only, that is storage, and it
might just as well be stored in the
ground: but if it is collected to be
loaned out again for the benefit
and development Of the country,
that is banking as it is conducted
today.
Money in activity is what en-
ploys people in constructive enter
prises and sets the commercial
wheels moving, whereas, money
taken and stored away limits en-
terprise and prevents improvement
Bankers loan their depositors'
money, not for the benefit of their
customers but for their own private
benefit, and therein lies the profit
of the business. Exchange.

are out in Utah on n scout for
