MYSTERY OF DEATH
SURROUNDS TAMPANs
Three Found Lifeess in Home Due
to Ptomaine Poisoning.

Tampa, ria, Nov. IA family of
three persons was found dead from
poisoning today in their home here.
The dead H. X. Collamer, a wild
over; Helen NJ. Brown. sister of Col
lamer; Agnes Collamer, aged 9, Col
lamer's daughter
The discovery was made by a negro
delivering groceries, and a post-mor-
tenn examination win be held to ascer-
tain the direct cause of the triple
deaths.
The body of the man was found on
the back porch. and, like the other
two, the face was horribly distorted,
and gave evidence that death was ac-
companied by severe physical ang-
uish. The body of the woman was
found on the kitchen floor. and the
child's body was in her bedroom.
The theory of ptomaine poisoning is
advanced by some, but a rigid inyes-
tigation will be made.

trying to put these people right on
the situation. Tax Collector Read ex-

YOU registered and voted in 1910 and
later paid your 1910 taxes, then you
are qualified. However, there are
many who registered in 1910, paying

A MATRIMONIAL
AGENT AGENT ON ON TRIAL
MRS. MoRToN's ATTORNEY PRO-
DUcEs A DECISION OF
JUDGE" TAFT.

st. Louis, Nov. 1.-THE attorney
for Mrs. 7annie x. Morton, whose
trial OF. the charge of using the mails
to defraud in connection with a matri-
monial bureau, began before Federal
Judge Dyer yesterday, brought forth
mention of a decision by President
Taft when federal judge.
Her attorney maintained the indict-
ment was insufficient, in that it did
not set out in detail the letter writ
ten by Mrs Morton to the chief wit
ness for the government. The attor-
ney said he would rely on a decision
made by Judge Taft when he made
his arguments today. What a man
says to woman when he proposes
marriage is a privileged conversation
and need not. be repeated on the wit
ness stand, Judge Dyer ruled while
Joseph Niemeyer of Tulsa, Okla, was
on the stand.

friends in this city, Mrs. Anthony j..
Drexel is expected to arrive home &c

that she is visiting Philadelphia pria-

penditures and to render her financial
condition as difficult as possible This
is denied by friends of the hus5a Id.
Mrs, Drexel expects that year will
elapse before she obtains her liberty.
While not definitely known, it is
probable that Mrs. Drexels stay In
Philadelphia will be brief, as her
daughter, the Yiscountess Maidstone,

That the Macon & Brunswick Nav

line of ships between the two cirfes

by an announcement just sent out
from Macon that a New York capi-

ing this purchase, however. the New

OF ships, and after this careful ex-
animation he made the purchase.

THE ROSARY LAST NIGHT.
Good Company Presented the Play to
Fair Sized House.


A good audience greeted THE Ros
ary' last night at the Grand. a Num-
ber Of people expected to see a dram
atization Of Miss Barclays novel,
"The Rosary" but it is an entirely
different play and founded on "a novel
by Edward Rose The song Of that
name, however, runs through the en-
tire play. It is extremely melodra-
matte and full Of very improbable
events and situations, but has a very
beautiful idea for theme, which is
that no one ever gets beyond the
reach Of Gods mercy. or falls too low
for redemption. It is an intensely re-
ligious play, both in its lines and
teachings. The central character, and
much the best one. is an Irish priest,
Father Kelly. This part was well
taken BY Mr.. Harry Nelson, who gave
a. very fine picture of the old priest
with his big, warm heart, his child
ish faith, and his irrepressibIe Irisl
humor that never deserts him.
Miss Virginia Lewis gave a most
commendable rendition of dual role
OF the twin sisters, Vera and Alice. She
was very pretty and graceful and wa
equally good as the unfortunate sister
and as Vera Wilton.
The humor of the piece was sup
piled by Miss Bessie Andre, as Il.
sura, and Mr.. Henry Garron, as Lee
Martin both of whom were extreme
ly good.
The audience was not disposed to
be critical of any dramatic shortcom-
ings or improbabilities Of plot, for i
is very human and appeals to the
emotions and, therefore, will doubt
less accomplish much good, as well as
give very sincere pleasure to many.

MIX ON THANKSGIVING DAY.
Calendars are a Week Off This Year
n sos Dat4

Some little confusion has been
caused among those who did not read
President Tafts proclamation as to
whether THANKSGIVING day comes this
year November % or NoEember 80,
and a reference to majority Of the
calendars does not clear the matter.
Most people rest under the impress
sion that the fourth Thursday in No
vember is always designated as the
day OF thanksgiving, but this year it
is different, as President Taft desig-
mated Thursday, November 80, as the
date. Publishers of calendars did
not know at the time of the publica-
tion that this date would be selected,
and consequently, large majority Of
them show Thursday, November 20, as
the holiday. ga
