DEATH Of fancy
CAUSED BY COCAINE
SUCH Is OPINION OF
COUNTY PHYSICIAN COLE
CorOner's Judy Returns ertifct That
Death Due to Unknown Causes
District Attorney Orders Examina-
ton by, Cole.

That the death of Frank Fahey,
whose body was found in the Queen
rooming house yesterday morning was
accidental and that it was caused by
cocaine is the opinion held by DIR. w.
G. Cole, county physician. This
opinion was rendered this morning.
That death was due to unknown
causes was the verdict OF the coroners
Jury, rendered last evening. follow
ing a brief inquest over the remains
Of the dead man.
1t was due to the inability of the
ooroners jury to determine the alb
solute cause Of death that District At
torney Phelps this morning directed
DR.. Cole to perform an autopsy on
the body. Not knowing a post NOR
tenn examination was to be made.
Coroner Folsom this morning started
in TO prepare the body for shipment
to Pennsylvania for burial. AS the
embalming fluid had been running
into the body for some time when
the doctor arrived at the undertaking
parlors a satisfactory post mortem
was out Of the question. The physi-
clan. however, had already become
satisfied that death was due either
to choral or cocaine. AS the exami-
nation which he was permitted to
make eliminated the possibility of
chloral poisoning, cocaine remained
as the only possible cause of death.
This story is strengthened by the fact
that the dead man and his compan-
friAI 70 nr,r0ha C.
cocaine from at least two different
local drug stores on the day preced-
ing the mans death. The two stores
were Tallman's and Koeppens'.
About the only suspicious circuIn-
stances brought out at the inquest
last evening were the purchasing of
revolver by Gleason and the fact
that he claimed to be 30 drunk on
that day that he could not tell where
he had purchased the weapon, what
he had purchased it for or what he
had done with it, whereas the testi-
mony of other witnesses was to the
effect that while both men had been
drinking they were not drunk as late
as o'clock in the afternoon.
Gleason admitted having purchased
the weapon and II was brought out
at the inquest that the firearm was
taken away from him after he had
accidentally permitted it to be dis
charged in a Main street saloon.
1t is now believed that the two men
spent all of their money for near beer
and cocaine and then went to their
room for the night.
Mike LOTUS Not Implicated.
It was enormously reported yester-
day that Mike LOTUS was the name
OF the man who had spent the night
with Fahey. LOTUS had nothing to
do with the case other than to fur
nish the corner with the name OF the
deceased and the names of his uncle
and mother. 1t seems that Lotus had
known the young fellow since he was
boy.

GET A MOVE ON.

AS command from the president to
the senate: "Get a move oni" has
struck the country pat. and the peo-
pie are in a mood to hurrah. The
senate of the United States by its con-
duct appears to be engaged in show
ing that small bodies move slower than
great ones. There is no evidence that
the United States senate knows how
to spell hustle Its late records
have given energy to the movement
among the states to have senators
elected directly by the people instead
of by the action Of state legislatures.
There are too many millionaires in
the senate and their open devotion to
vested interests is sufficient to dis
gust the people and to annoy President
Taft. It appears to be making a. rec
ord for itself which will make the
American people eventually feel that it
is too much like the. English house
of lords to be worthy of continuance.
Its record as a check to popular legis-
lation has brought it into extreme dis
favor in all parts of the country.
Let the slogan of the people be Get
a move on!" and it will help accelerate
the passage of needed measures.

WHAT OF THE PHoNoeRAPH?

The photograph is true educator
although the commences of it has not
tended to improve the interest of the
public in it. Edison planned to have
the instrument cheap that it might
add to the joy of living of as many
people as possible. and in unskilful
hands combined with the popular taste
for vaudeville it has become a dis
cordant nuisance in many neighbour
hoods. As the result of this, a New
York paper, noticing the growing in
frequency of the public use of the
photograph, ventured to assert that
the future of the machine was not
very bright, whereupon the manufac-
turers promptly announced that the
outlook for the photograph was never
more promising, and that the manu-
featuring concerns are not able to
meet the public demands for this in
strumenG, and to back it with a sig
nificant incident, they announced that
Thomas A. Edison has recently paid
$155,000 to acquire minority stock
interest in a single company.
There are SO many poor performing
machines grinding out cheap vaude-
vile sketches, it is not surprising
that the general public has no correct
idea of the real merits of the phono-
graph in the rendition of religious
hymns, popular songs, and frst-qual-
ity music of every sort. The phono-
graph is surely going to find its place
and become as much of a fixture as
the pianoforte. A well-operated pho
nograph. with clean and wholesome

ton in any family.

Cupid and Cost of Livino.

The relation between the cost OF
living and the activity in the issuance
of marriage licenses is recognized as
intimate, even though the economies
may not be able to express the subtle
fact in mathematical formula But
there can be no doubt that Cupid keeps
an eye on the market prices of pro-
visions. even though he may have little
use for the tailor.
There can be no doubt that this
sprightlys promoter of felicity has
abandoned the old fal1acy, enticing but
illusory, that two persons can live Just
as cheaply as can one. Perhaps that
untruth in domestic mathematics took
form at a time when girls were diff

CHARITY.

ANY reform that would take the dis
tributfon of charity funds out of the
hands Of political servants would be a
move for economy and would doubt
less be the means Of keeping the out
side poor expenses at the minimum,
without adding TO the distress of the
needy.
Under our present system for help
ing the outside poor, which is the pre-
vailing system, there is a double po-
Iitical play which should be stopped
the play of the INDECENT voters. aided
by their friends to force the authort
ties in consideration OF their support
at the polls to be liberal; and the
temptation presented to men in au-
khority to be liberal with the tax funds
toward the outside poor. in order to
hold their votes. Selectmen have re-
peatedIy been turned out of Office for
their economy in the interests of the
taxpayers.
1t is evident enough that the poor
rannot be listed or be made subject to
central supervision, and the reasons
given by the religious and benevolent
associations for refusing to enter into
buch scheme were sufficient, because
hey are logical and righteous. 1t is
aot the poor who should be listed. but
The fmposters. No man or woman who
g caught getting public funds should
Escape exposure, and there is no reason
why he or she should escape prosec1-
don. 1t rs not the unfortunate who
should be subjected to indignities, but
The swindlers who should be brought
10 brook.
1t is no experiment to put this bust
ness in the hands of an efficient char
ty commission. The dispensing of
charity should be done Independent of
political influence and be wholly re-
moved from the sphere of political re-
sentiment, which undeserving voters can
work up and which in the past has
put strong men out of power and weak
men into office.
Thousands upon thousands of dollars
have been lost on account of our un-
businesslike methods, and it would be
Draiseworthy step forward to have the
town charity appropriations handled
with the same care as they would be
were they private funds.
