Trunk Mystery That

with him in placing the body in a
trunk and sending it to the union
station. Mrs. Kersh was supposed
to be the wife of Johnson but ad-
mitted this afternoon that she is
the wife of Bert KerSh, city en-
ployee of Seattle and that she
eloped with Webb year ago.
Webb declares he killed Johnson
with a black jack when the two
men were alone in the latter's room
yesterday afternoon, as a result OF
an alteration begun by Johnson
who, according to Webb, had been
drinking and was in a quarrelsome
mood.

AMERICAN LEAGUE.

Monday, there is now to be feared
another triurnal tribute to the mod
ern Moloch. 1t is interesting also
to note that in 1908 there were
SIG blank cartridge wounds, while
in 1909 the number of wounds
from this source was 1895; and
that the. states having the largest
number of blank cartridge wounds
had a higher percentage of deaths
than gunshot wounds. The common
wound productive of tetanus or
lockjaw is that produced by the
blank cartridge; this need not be
as wide as a church door or as deep
as a well; the merest skin puncture,
perhaps even a scratch, will serve.
The blank cartridge then is respon-
sible for more than 60 per cent OF
the tetanus cases; the giant fire
cracker (not the small cracker) for
16 per cent; the toy cannon, pei
cent; powder 10 per cent; firearms
5 per cent. Not to excite undue
alarm. it should be observed that
blank cartridges will by no means
always tetanus; for the SO cases
developed in 1906 there were 97s
blank cartridge wounds; still the
disease is so appalling that no one
! will take for his children any
chance that their wounds will prove
innocuous.-John B. Huber, in Re
! view of Reviews
