NOT SLAIN BY ENEMIES
This Theory Of Rice Murder Given
Up by Cleveland Police; Be-
lieved Work of Crooks.

Cleveland.-Thet theory that Will
liam L. Rice, the wealthy attorney,
found murdered near his home, was
assassinated for revenge has been
abandoned by the police. The dis
covery of new clews which point to
attempted robbery being the motive
of the crime have confirmed their
opinion that holdup men are respon-
sible
The police claim to have learned
that a robbery had been planned by
professional criminals in the neigh
borhood of Mr.. Rice's home on the
night of the murder. This informa-
ton has convinced the authorities
that Mr.. Rice was killed by thieves
tempted to arrest.
The two objections to the robbery
theory are that the body was found
lying in the full glare of an are
light and that nothing had been re-
moved from 1t.
Pasqual Guilliano, former golf
caddy, who was supposed to be at
enmity with Mr.. Rice and who was
arrested, convinced the police that
he knew nothing of the crime and
probably will be liberated.

Town Has Forty III.

Des Moines, Ia That one-third
of the babies in Iowa under one
year old have died since the hot
weather set in was the alarming con-
dition revealed by DR.. G.. H. Sumner,
secretary of the state board of health.
Doctor Sumner attributes the unusu.
al death rate to four causes: Cholera
infantum, infantile paralysis, poor milk
and improper care. According to sta
tistics. the first-named disease is the
worst in the history of the state. No
section seems to be free from 1t, and
infants are dying by the score.
Doctor Sumner has called a special
convention of physicians from all over
Iowa to discuss means to prevent ia
talities.
Infantile paralysis Is becoming alarm
ing in many parts of the state There
are now more than forty cases in Ma
son City, and number of deaths have
resulted there.
