A MURDER MYSTERY
american News Service

Lunenburg, VT. Oct. 1.-THE mys-
terry surrounding the case of Mrs.
James Marshall Dodge, a wealthy So
ciety woman OF this city, whose pre-
liminary hearing on the charge of
having murdered William A. Heath. a
painter employed in her house about
the middle of last month, was begun
here today, seems to be as puzzling as
it was at the time of Mrs. Dodge's ar.
rest. Heath, man of about forty
years. married and having several
children, was killed by shot in the
back while he was employed in paint
ing the woodwork in Mrs. Dodge's bed
room. Mrs. Dodge asserted at the
time of her arrest that she had not
fired the fatal shot and did not know
who had fired it. She expressed the
belief that Heath had committed sui
eide, but the location of the wound
strongly argued against that theory
Mrs. Dodge steadfastly adhered to hel
original statement and it is believed
that the authorities have been unable
to find any motive to substantiate the
theory Of Mrs. Dodge's guilt. The fac,
that the revolver from which the fatal
shot was fired was identified by the
police as the property of Mrs Dodge
only adds to the mystery OF the case
Mrs. Dodge is about As years of age
widow and of good social standing In
the community.

BIG POWER SYSTEM

Berlin, Ont, Oct. 11.-After years of
the hardest kind of work in the fact
of almost insurmountable obstacles,
the project of supplying Canadian cit
les with electrical energy generated at
Niagara Falls has become an accom-
plished fact today. With ceremonies
befitting the importance of the occas-
ion the first hydro-electric power TO be
delivered in Ontario by the Hydro
Electric Power Commission, was Of
ficially turned on this afternoon. The
ceremony took place in the Auditor
ium which was handsomely decorated
with designs Illuminated by the peo-
plo's power. Sir James Whitney pre-
sided and the Hon. Adam Beck and
other public men OF prominence de-
livered addresses.

consist of duly accredited delegates
only and it is expected that this prop
osition will lead to a long and heated
debatet. Another important matter is
the question of consolidating ten diff
ferent church boards into one or more
boards. The merger committee will
probably recommend that there be
three boards, home. foreign and wom-
ans. This consolidation would mean
considerable saving of administra-
tive expenses. The offer of r. A.
Long, a wealthy lumberman of Kansas
City, to present the plant of the Chris
tian Evangelist of St. Louis, which he
purchased recently to the church
brotherhood, will also come up for
consideration and will probably be &C
cepted.

Why should l burn myself, I'd like
to know? l think some of the simple
things. like eggs, for instance. are
the hardest for me to cook. l find
that an omlet or poached egg is
harder to cook to my liking than a
roast of beef or an apple pie
This sightless housekeeper then
showed the materials for the dinner
she was about preparing. Her board
ers came home from business about
6:15 and dinner was at $50. There
were roast of beef, potatoes of uni
form size to be roasted around the
beef, lima beans. all shelled and now
immersed in cold water before boil
ing, and a big bowl of the best look
ing and most fragrant apple sauce
that any cook could make, no matter
how well she could see.
Il always buy my bread and rolls, -
the blind housekeeper said, for it
you can buy so easily l could do
a lot on my baskets in the time it
would take me to make bread We
have hot bread sometimes for a
change.
II don't think the sense of smell
helps me as much in cooking as it
does most blind housekeepers. / can't
explain how it is that l know when a
thing is done, but | seldom make a
mistake. In roasting meat, l go by
the time and the size of the roast /
have a notched clock, so that | can
tell the time by feeling the face l
know about how long a roast of a GER
tain size takes to cook, and by basting
it | can tell how it is getting along
The raw smell and the done smell
they talk about don't mean so much
to me in cooking as to the other blind
women. but the smell in ironing is a
great help and of course all my
senses are much keener now than
they were when ! was first blind.
Il don't like to do my own market
ing II takes time in the morning
which l need for my Homework, and
it's hard TO get child to act as a
guide, for they're all in school about
the time l want them. I've found it
was best to make list of what l
want and give it to the butcher of the
grocer. I'm good pay and they know
this, 'and they treat me as we'll as if
1 went and picked out the things my
self with pair of good eyes
'All food is so high now that if I
had things to do over again I'd Just
have roomers and not boarders.
There's more money in renting the
rooms, now that meat, eggs and but
ter are so high

The progress is unusually slow from

expected that Augillar will be released
some time today.
