Still on q Cold Trail.

Cumberland, Md, Jan. 9.-With
another exploded theory on their hands,
the authorities Investigating the mvs.
terious killing OF Charles E. Iwigg and
his sweetheart. Grace CLOSER, today
continued their search for the source
OF the poison administered to the couple
in the little Elosser parlor.
An assistant OF States Attorney Robt
went to Paw Paw. W. Va, today to
run down the report that ]. c. McKown
had sold a quantity OF potassium
cyanide to Twigg. McKown himself,
however, denied the report, and Robb
expected that the investigation would
prove the denial.
The failure OF this theory left the
authorities In a more involved situation
than ever. They are still without a
single provsble clue upon which to
base their operations.

THE GAZETTE

It is again our great pleasure to con-
graduate the old and reliable Alexan-
dria Gazette upon another anniversary.
On January End the Gazette started its
10th year as full OF life and ginger as
a two-Year-old. Old age has in no
wise left its enfeebling marks upon it,
but instead it stands today as bright,
clean, reliable and newsy as the best.
We join with many others in wishing it
many more years of prosperity and use
fulness under its present management.

leading practitioner in the courts OF

event great loss to our profession and
to the community at large.
That in his death the bar OF this city
has lost an able, kindly and scholarly
lawyer, whose gentle spirit endeared
him to all who we're admitted to the
privilege of his friendship, whose hdel
ity to duty and srotless integrity always
commanded the highest admiration
and respect, whose love of truth and OF
Justice dominated his life, and whose
career OF four score years and ten has
left memory without a stain. and we
esteem it privilege to have known
such man and an inspiration to fol-
low his noble example. We recall with
tender admiration his great unselfish-
ness, virtue which in bis life shone
with marked brightness.

TURKISH BATTLESHIP is
SUNK BY ITALIAN NAPOLI

BY The United Press.
LONDON. Oct. 27-The Italian bat
tleship Napoli has sunk a Turkish
battleship and damaged a second near
the entrance to the Dardanelles, ac-
cording TO a message from Turin by
way Of the frontier to avoid the CEN
sorship. The news Is unconfirmed.
Censorship on messages from
Rome has reached such ridiculous ex-
tremes. that as in the present case,
It is even impossible even to transmit
messages of Italian victories. Com
mercial messages are only accepted,
and these only after rigorous scrutiny.
Vigorous protests by business in
terest by the Press Association of
Rome and by many members OF the
Italian Parliament have failed to
move Premier Gioletti to a realization
of the regulations.
