WOMAN IS HELD
 ID THE GRAND JURY

Chicago, November 27.-Louise Vermilya suspected poisoner of Policeman Arthur Bissonette and others, was held to the grand jury today by the coroner's jury, which held an inquest on Bissonette s body. She was held by the decree of the jury and she is charged with having poisoned him.
 Little new testimony was brought out Witnesses told of Bissonette's life at the Vermiya house; of his illness, and Of his subsequent death and examination of his viscera for poison which was found in quantities.
 Policemen told of Mrs. Vermilya's sud- den illness while under surveillance after she had sprinkled poison from a pepper box on food served to her. She was unable to attend the inquest because of an ah- scess of the spine, which county physi- clans said was due to the arsenic she had eaten with her food
 Little evidence was addueed concerning the other nine deaths that have occurred in Mrs. Vermilya's home, or relative to the allegation that toxicologists found ar- senic in the viscera in two of nine persons who died there.

MINERS LAMPS ID BE INSPECTED What Shall Be Burned in Lamps Is Up for
 Decision

The question of permitting the use
 of acetylene gas lamps in the mines of Alabama has come up before Chief h.
 spector G. H. Nesbit and preparations are being made to ascertain if this prac- tice is illegal under the state law
 Chief Inspector Nesbit is correspond ing with other states who have fnvesti"
 gated the safety of acetylene gas lamps as compared to coal oil lighting, and the department of the interior, through the bureau of mines, has forwarded the results of their tests to the state de- partment. This department has ruled
 that the gas committed from an ounce of cs!iIr1 carbide, which makes acetylene gas, is one-third of a cubic foot of gas, which can be easily carried away and diluted by the current of air in mine. But, according to the government re- rort, should several cans of carbide or the residue from two or three cans be collected and ignited, an explosion would follow.

PRACTICAL JOKE
 HAS TRAGIC END

New York, November 27-The miscar- riage of 8 crude practical joke caused the death of Mrs. Alice Tristram Shanks, said to be the daughter of Canton Tristram of Trinity church, Dublin.

MLANE TILTON EXPLAINS
 INCIDENT AT NEW ORLEANS


 Pen City, November 27.-(special9-Mc- Lane Triton, secretary of the Alabama Bankers association, has issued the fol- lowing statement: lH
 ''As a very erroneous report was sent out to the world about an incident that happened at the meeting of the state sec setaries section of the American Bank CTS association, I deem it proper to make a brief statement of what actually oc- cured at this meeting in connection with an address of MT. William J. Burns, the official secret service man of the associa- ton.
 Press dispatches sent out from New Orleans last Thursday and telegrams to Mir. Gompers at Atlanta and MT. Darrow at Los Angeles provoked counter resolu- tions from the American Federation of Labor in convention assembled and a bit ter statement from Mir. Darrow that are uncaed for by the facts. Had Messrs. Gompers and Darrow been correctly ad- vised they would have understood that nothing officially done at the meeting of the State Bankers secretaries concerned in the remotest degree any expression on
 
 men now awaiting what everyone will hope is a fair and impartial trial at Los Angeles.
 s'The circumstances are as follows: A year ago at Los Angeles, MT. Burns, who had only recently been employed by the American Bankers association, addressed the secretaries. He pointed out what he wanted to do, the obstacles he had to overcome and stated that the loyal sup port of the several state bankers secre- taries was necessary for his success. At the concluion of this address, l. as the secretary for Alabama, introduced res- olution expressing confidence in MT. Burns ability to handle these very impor- tant matters and pledged the hearty sup port of the state secretaries during the year to come. This resolution was car ried without a dissenting voice. It had to do with bank crimes only.
 "A year passed. MT. Burns appeared once more before the secretaries last Thursday in New Orleans. He gave in detail the results of his years work, made many valuable suggestions as to how bank criminal cases should be handled in fu- ture and thanked the secretaries for the cordial way in which they had lived up to the pledge made at Los Angeles His

RETURNS VERDICT l. AGAINST GADSDEN
  City Sued c. D. Clark to Re- cover Alleged Shortage PROBE LUTES CASE Quiet Home Wedding Solemnized Sunday Night-Attending Con-
 ference in Florence-Con-
 ventiOn Success

Gadsden, November 27.--(Special.)- The jury trying the case of the city of Gadsden against former City Clerk c. D. Clark, who was being sued to re- cover an alleged shortage found a yer dict for the defendant. The city claimed that Clark was indebted to it for sew eral thousand dollars passing through properly accounted for, while Clark in- sisted that the city in reality was in- debted to him. The books, it Is al- legged, were in a very unsatisfactory condition and the evidence put before the jury left that body very much in doubt as what had become of certain sums of money, but saw nothing in the facts presented that would warrant it in finding for the plaintiff. This will
 in all probability terminate the litiga- ton over the matter that has deen drag gng along for number of years. The Etowah county grand jury will convene next week for the considera- ton of crimes committed since the last session and those which could not be reached at that time. The LuteS Inur- der case will be fully inquired into by that body and it is possible that more
 evidence will be laid before 1t than was
 submitted to the coroner's jury.
