home from church on the night of his
death. Thirty minutes later he died
in commissions. His widow, Mrs.
Alma Proctor Vaughn, who survives
him with their seven-year-old daugh-
ter, testified at the coroner's inquest
that her husband took quinine in a
paper capsule as soon as he arrived
home.
Mrs. Vaughn is So years old and is
a niece of DR.. Proctor, president of
the Monroe City, Mo-, Bank, Her
father, James NJ. Proctor, is director
in the bank and is reputed to be
wealthy.
In addition to an estate of $50, 900,
Prof. Vaughn's life was insured for
$4,000. 1t is not, however, charged
that this supplied the motive. Mrs.
Vaughn has realty in her name
valued at $4,000.
Vaughn's body was exhumed after
several days consultation with attor-
neys representing the Proctor family.
The latter opposed the examination,
which was urged by Prof. Vaughn's
brothers, backed by Prosecuting Attor-
ney Reiger. The viscera were for
warded to DR.. Paul Schweitzer, chemist
at the Missouri State University. He
reported finding 1886 of a grain OF
strychnine in the, stomach and liver.
The amount of poison in other parts
of the viscera has not been deter
mined.
Prof. Vaughn was studious and re-
firing. Mrs. Vaughn is vivacious.
She was a pupil in the Paris, Mo-,
high school when he was principal
there, and they were married shortly
after she completed her course. She
was. 10 years his junior, but firmly re-
fused to listen to objections Of her
family because Of the disparage in
age. Vaughn was one of the states
leading educators and was an author
ity on American history, upon which
he had written several books. At one
time he was assistant superintendent
of public schools

scended, for it is the outside of the
apple, and not the core, that counts
here. She ignores baronial titles, I'M
aware that many of them are of more
than present princely name-that Is,
ancient princely rank-and more close
ly affiliated with the crown, in many
instances, than many high sounding
ducal titles. y
If you tell her that imperial genoa
logists consider baronial title, like
that of Freiherr Won Riedsel, one OF
the highest in the empire, she will
take it as a joke. She is constantly
.confounding the two decisive elements
that determine the value of title,
namely, the nominal rank and the
heraldic status. She cannot conceive
of the title prince or duke as being OF
low lineal status, nor can she be made
to see in the rank Fretherr or Graf the
highest status of nobility extant.

Rioting Resumed
In Philadelphia and
Many Are Injured

Safety Clay, following the publica.
ton Of the following statement said
to have been made by the head of the
Central Labor Union:
MURPHY'S STATEMENT.
you can depend upon it that by
Sundays meeting a general strike
will be called. If one man is shot in
kensington there will follow a carni-
val of riot and bloodshed which will
startle the entire country I should
not care to be responsible for such an
outbreak. The state police would be
helpless; want it understood that
there are men in the Northeast who
can shoot as straight as any trooper
who ever drew breath. Just wait Il
little while for developments and you
will see something which will open
your eyes"
This statement was made to news
paper reporters for publication" said
Director Clay, 'one of whom was sent
for and who said that the above state
ment of Mr.. Murphy's as published
was substantially correct. I have
been advised by the law officers of
the city and county that the same is
violation of law and melting to riot
and, therefore, it is my duty, as d.
rector of public safety, to place him
under arrest"
MURPHY MAKES DENIAL.
Murphy denied that he made such
statement for publication. He said
he merely expressed an opinion as to
what might develop if the strike con-
tinued and if the company refused 20
arbitrate.
Unlike Pratt, who was denied bail
when arrested on a similar charge a
few days ago, Murphy was not locked
in cell over night, but was permit
ted to enter bail before a friendly
magistrate for a hearing today.
The fiat refusal of the board of di-
rectors of the Rapid Transit Com
pany to entertain the proposition of
arbitration leads many to believe that
the contest between the company and
the union will continue until one or
the other surrenders. The committee
of prominent clergymen who propos-
ed the arbitration plan will hold an
other meeting to consider what fur
Their move, if any. shall be made.

when he realizes that it means that
the boy enjoys his school life instead
of disliking it, he becomes reconciled
How has this whole scheme been
