A long distance message from JEFF

that while the returns on the State

the vote was SO to 27 against.
st. Louis came close to the predic.

ly four to one, the figures being &c.
$50 for the issue and 4,1OS against.
The total vote was 2O,46S, out of
registration Of 150,S7S.
The vote was light throughout the
State, but ran heavier in many coun-
ties than this city.

DIES IN COLUMBIA
Was wldely-known as a chemist ex-

illness that the Vaughn case was
dropped.

in many noted state criminal cases,
author Of dozens of widely read tech
nical papers and books. for "a years
professor of chemistry at the Univer-
|sity Of Missouri, and a figure of
note wherever chemistry is known
of. died in Columbia Sunday, at his
home at 1000 University avenue.
DR.. Schweitzer was born, March 10,
1S4O, in Berlin, Germany, and re-
ceived his elementary education in
that country. He took his first de-
gree in 1869, when he was graduat-
ed from the University Of Gottingen
with the degree Of Doctor of Philos-
ophy
Later he came to America in, 1864
and was given the degree of Doctor
Of Laws at the University of Mis-
souri, in 1899.
He became professor of chemistry
at the University of Missouri in the
year 1872.
At various times before his retire
ment Professor Schweitzer had serv-
cd as state expert In criminal cas-
'es which required expert testis
mony or chemical analysis, and this
work he continued to some extent af-
ter retirement on the Carnegie fund
for University professors who have
served long term of years In the
teachers chair.
The last big case in which Dr..
Schweitzer came into the public lime
light was year ago when the
Vaughn case attracted countrywide
attention, This case, it will be re-
membered was of the state against
Mrs Alma Vaughn, who was accused
of murder by poisoning her husband,
a member of the faculty of the Kinks
vile State Normal School, DR..
Schweitzer was called in by the
State to make an analysis of the Wis
cera of the dead man and his finding
were quoted all over the world. The
case was finally dismissed by the
State because DR.. Schweitzer was in
such poor health as to be unable to
testify at the trial in regard to his
findings, and Mrs. Vaughn was re-
leased.
