Washington, Jan. 9.-senator Ca
linger today introduced revised
ocean mail subsidy bill which elimin-
ates from the present consideration
all trans-Pacific mail and applies
only to the establishment of ocean
mail service on the routes to South
America, south of equator, that is to
Brazil, Urguary, Argentina, Chile and
Peru. No special provision Is made
for lines to the Isthmus of Panama
because it is expected the canal will
be open for commerce by the summer
of 1918, which is as soon as the pro-
posed new lines could be established.
Steamships then can pass through
the canal on the long routes to the
west coast to South America.
AS in the other bills presented, 1t
is proposed the postmaster general
shall be authorized to pay for the
ocean mail service on vessels Of the
second class on the South American
routes the same rate per mile ($4) as
is now paid for the service on ves-
sells Of the first class between the
United States and European ports.

Office. He found that there was on
deposit In the First State bank of
Bowbells the sum of $65,4O0, or $780,
400 more than was authorized by law.
This state had no security for the
$60,400, and the new treasurer at
once demanded that the money be re-
turned to the state treasury.
The bank was unable to comply
with this demand and the matter took
on decidedly serious turn. Friends
of Mr.. Bickford came valiantly to his
rescue and during Saturday night and
Sunday they worked to raise the
money to place with the state treas
ury. Mr.. Bickford, it is understood,
will turn over to them his entire hold

State bank and lands to guarantee
them against loss.

STATE FUNDS WERE DEPOSITED WITHOUT

State Had Bond Guarantee Against Loss for 900 But
$65, 400 of State Funds Had Been Placed With the
Bank 400 Were Without Protection

That the retiring state treasurer,
G. l. Bickford, made illegal deposits
OF state funds IN his own bank is no
longer suspicion. It is fact rec
ognized by even his friends who were
bending every energy yesterday to
raise funds enough to cover the un-
protected deposits.
g. L Bickford, the retiring state
treasurer, is president of the First
State bank Of Bowbells and his BROTH
er, A. B. Bickford, is cashier. The
bank was designated as state de-
pository in the sum of $4,000 and had
executed guaranty bond to the state
as security against loss in that
amount. Under the law that $4,000
was the limit of the amount which
could be deposited by the state treas
urer in the bank.

Death had resulted quickly after the
pressure on the arm had been re-
leased. Both Grace Elosser and
Twigg died from cyanide poison.
DR.. Broadrup in his testimony said
he had gone to the front door Of the
Elosser residence at 4:15 o'clock. He
saw May Elosser on the floor, star
ing and with her eyes fixed. He was
struck forcibly by the odor of gas
and thought at first that death might
have resulted from gas poisoning,
but there was no indication of this
at the autopsy. He had examined
May Elosser and found her in semi
stupor. He had gone into the parlor
and found Twigg dead and was told
that Grace Elosser was dead also.
He had found the Elosser family In
the back room.
Only an Ammonia Bottle.
He saw nothing but an ammonia
bottle in this room. He said he
thought he saw glasses on the piano
In the front room. but was not posi-
tive: His report Of the autopsy was
similar to that given by DR.. Foard.
He said the post-morten examination
showed traces Of cyanide poisoning.
He described, like DR.. Foard, the
marks which were found on Twigg's
shoulder and arm.
This ended the medical testimony.
Lee H. Ash of Keyser, w. Va, who
lived in the house where Twigg
boarded, and who was q clerk in
Twiggs store, said Twigg left Key
ser Saturday morning in good spirits.
There was no poison, he said, lin
Twigg's store. Continuing, Ash said:
know of no reason why he should
commit suicide. never heard he
was married or bothered in any way
by women. His financial condition
was good, as he is considered to have
been worth between 100000 and $40,-
900. In an examination of his room
at home there was no poison: of any
kind. There were some headache
powders, but no other drugs. There
was no note found in his room.
Mrs. Carrie See, the youngest
daughter of the Elosser's, corroborat-
ed the previous witnesses. who had
declared nothing was found in the
parlor which would help to clear up
the case. She also described the
fainting or other attack for which DR..
Foard treated May Elosser.

made has not been learned definitely.
The law requires the banks which are
repositories to report to the state
treasurer every month the details of
the funds deposited with them. The
state treasurer is required to report
to the governor under oath the condi-
ton of the funds in the several de-
positories quarterly in January,
March, June and September. 1t is
said the deposits were made after the
making Of this report to the governor
in September.
G. L. Bickford was elected state
treasurer in 1908, having been nom
mated at the Republican primaries as
the progressive candidate in June of
that year. He succeeded Albert
Peterson in Office. He was a candi-
date in the primaries Of this year for
denomination for the same office, but
was defeated by Gunder Olson Of
Grafton who in the regular election
was elected treasurer.

tors Beveridge and Owen of Okla

the right to fire the first gun in the

Cumberland, Nd, Jan. 9.-"Came
to their deaths by means unknown
to the jury" This was the conclu--
sion reached by the twelve men, who
for nearly five hours heard testimony
relative to the deaths of Grace Elos-
ser and Charles T., Twigg,.. !. whose
dead bodies were found by Mrs. Elos-
ser, the mother, of the dead girl, seat
ed on sofa in the parlor Of the
Elosser home. The tragedy occurred
less than thirty hours prior to the
time that had been set for the mar
riage of the two victims.
The coroner's jury gathered in a.
little mortuary chapel belonging to
a local undertaken. Witnesses, Of
f1cials and newspaper men crowded
the place almost to. suffocation. More
than a dozen witnesses we're heard,
but little was developed that was not
already known to the public. One, Of
the points brought out was that May
Elosser, one of Grace's sisters, had,
after helping their mother carry
Grace's body from the parlor to q. bed
in a room in the rear, herself being
seized with illness which showed
syptoms Of poisoning by. .hydrocyanicy
acid. p. wa
Cyanide the Drug. !,
DR.. Thomas w. Koon, who con-.
Quoted the autopsy on the bodies, was,
the first witness. =. He said he had:
found indications Of cyanide poison
ing, but was unable to tell whether
it had been taken in fluid form or.
in the form of salt The autopsy,
he said. showed that Grace Elosser
died from no other, form of poison
ing than cyanide potassium.
DR.. F. Harrington, city health of
f1cer of Cumberland, who assisted in
the autopsy and in the examination
of the stomach Of Miss Elosser, tes-
titled that he found traces of cyanide
in the stomach, but was also unable
to tell whether 1t had been admin
istered In Q liquid or salt form. His
opinion as to the cause Of death was
the same as that of DR.. Koon. The
chemical analysis, DR.. Harrington
said. showed no trace Of copper or
lead poisoning. He had taken piece
of chewing gum from Twigg's mouth,
but there was no poison in 1t and he
did not think there was any method
of putting the poison in the gum.
The poison. he said, would not remain
in the gum If 1t had been put there.
There was no cyanide in the candy
found in the room. nor In anything
else that was examined.
What Chemist Found.
George L. Barker, chemist. who
had assisted In the chemical analysis
of the stomach. kidneys and lungs of
Grace Elosser. found traces Of cy-
anide. but had found no trace Of cy-
anide in the gum taken from Twigg's
mouth.
