OPEN GRAVE OF
ALLEGED VICTIM
Accused Borgia Confined to Her
Home With Pneumonia

Chicago, Nov. 4.-Convinced that
the body of Richard T. Smith will
either confirm or disprove the police
theory that Mrs. Louise Vermilya is
a modern Borgia, responsible for the
death of nearly half a score of
friends and relatives, Coroner Hoff-
man and DR.. Leconte, an expert on
post--mortems, left here today for
North Henderson, ILL.,, to exhume the
body of the former Illinois Central
railroad conductor.
Smith died at Mrs. Vermilya's
home on March IL, under circum-
stances very similar to those attend
ing the last illness of Policeman
Arthur Bisonette, who died from ar
senical poisoning. It was his death
that the police turned their attention
to the remarkable number of deaths
of persons associated with Mrs. YER
milya.
Mrs. Vermilya is confined to her
home by an attack of pneumonia.
Detectives are guarding her. No war
rant has yet been served upon her.
Half score of detectives are at
work in various towns, where Mrs.
Vermilya formerly lived, and where
several of her friends and relatives
who died in her home are buried.

MRS. MCLEOD Did NOT
UNDERSTAND THE LAW

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. Ga
peculiar matrimonial mix-up is fur
nished in the case of Mrs. Sophia
Mcleod whose action for the annul-
ment of her marriage with Alfred
Mcleod, superintendent of one of
the subway construction companies
in New York city, came up in court
here today for trial. Mrs. Mcleod
was married in 1877 to Augustus
Doull in Prince Edward Island and
lived with him until 1890, when
they separated. She came to Cam
bridge to live in 1897 and sued for
divorce in Rhode Island the next
year and received decree. She
was not informed by her Rhode Is
land lawyer, she declares that resi-
dence in that State for a year was
necessary to give her a right to sue
for divorce there. Believing her
| decree was valid, she was married
to Mcleod in 1900. Last April she
was informed by McLoud that there
was doubt as to the validity of hel
divorce decree. She refused to live
with him until the point should be
settled. Mcleod then left Cam
bridge and went to New York, where
he has since resided. Mrs. Mcleod
now seeks to have the Rhode Islant
decree set aside and her secont
marriage annulled.

Adamsville, O., Nov. 4.-Miss

plot of ground where she was born,

could never find man loved, so
Miss Bell says she expects to live
ten years more and that there is
nothing so sweet as life when one
gets old.
Neighbors for miles around will
gather at her home tomorrow and
100 farmers with shotguns will fire
100 shots, starting at o'clock in the
morning, the hour at which Miss
Bell was born.
When she was born her father
kept vigil all night and day out
side his cabin, protecting the mother
and children from a band of Indians
who were then ,pillaging the hamlets
near GAINESVILLE.

A BANK REMITTANCE
lnspectorS Are Hard at Work in
an Endeavor to Recover Huge
Sum That Disappeared

: Lynchburg, Va, Nov. 3.-While
postal authorities refuse to talk, it
was learned today that registered
letter containing 100000 consigned
by a Bluefield, w. Va, bank to a
correspondent in New York city was
stolen from registered pouch either
on the Norfolk and Western train
coming here, at the local mail trans

Washington last Saturday morning.
A number of inspectors are at

the local transfer is not under sus-
picion.
The pouch containing the remit
tance came here Friday night over
the Norfolk and Western railroad,
and was handled through the mail
transfer to the Southern railway at
the West End station. Soon after
leaving Lynchburg the clerk on the
Washington train telegraphed a re-
port that he was short the package,
and that his way bill did not CORES
pond with the number on the regis
tering lock attached to the pouch.

from a distance, as the report of the
gun was not heard.

Cruelty Is Decreasing.

Tripoli, via Malta, Nov. Ga
combined force of Arabs and Turks
made a desperate attack on the
Italian Notifications at dawn today,
but were repulsed with heavy loss.
Cholera is working dreadful raw
ages among the Turks and Arabs
who are besieging Tripoli, and also
among the Italian soldiers who are
defending the. city.
More than 300 Italian soldiers
have died of the disease, and while
the number of Turks and Arabs who
have fallen victims to the pestilence
is not known, it is believed to be
heavier than the Italian loss.
The situation in Tripoli is as de-
plorable as war and pestilence can
make it.
Reinforcements of $1,000 men are
expected from Naples, where they
are being mobilized. 1t is likely that
with the arrival of this fresh force
General Fruzoni's expeditionary
army will start on it's march from
here to establish communication
with Tobruk, 'Cyrenaca and Beng
halia.
Turkeys persistent appeals to the
powers for Intervention on the
ground that the Italians are wantOn-
ly butchering defenseless men, wom-
en- and children throughout Tripoli,
have had the effect of relaxing the
sternness of the measures which
were originally adopted toward the
natives.
The Italians are feeding Arab men
and women who have nothing to eat,
and the cruelty to which the natives
have been subjected has decreased
in it's severity.

AMERICAN MARINES
LAND IN SHANGHAI
BIuejackets Will Protect Foreign
Interests in Chinese City
MISSION IS IN DANGER
InfIammabIe Shells from Guns of
ImperiaIists Start ConfIagration
Which Destroys HankoW

Peking, Nov. 4.-Fire is raging
in the native quarter of Shanghai
today. Fifty American maries were
landed from warships to guard the
custom house, and they were re-en-
forced by volunteer guards who were
posted about the railway station.
Fear is expressed today that the
Wesleyan mission near the Hans riv-
er, in which fifty blind boys and $50
wounded persons, who with the staff
of the mission make total of 800,
was destroyed by the fire, which is
raging in almost the entire native
city of Hankow.
DR.. Booth, head of the mission,
asked the imperialists to grand an
armistice of two hours to allow the
removal of the mission, but
the firing stopped for only half an
hour. A Red Cross steamer, which
attempted to rescue the inmates, was
driven back by shells from the rebel
fort.
Infiammable shells, thrown into
Hankow by the imperialists, who are
trying to drive out the few hundred
rebels still occupying the unburned
parts of the city, today are spreading
the flames.
Flames Spread Across River.
A strong wind quickly carried the
conf1agration across the river to Han
Yang, and the water front of that
city has been destroyed.
An artillery duel was taking place
between the batteries of the imperial
lists planted back of the British con-
cesions land the Han Yang and WI
Chang forts when the Red cross
steamboat was forced to leave.
The change of control of Shang-
hal, WI Sung, and the up-river forts
was accompanied with about ten per-
sons killed and twenty injured. Most
of the casualties were accidental,
due to the explosion of dynamite,
used to open the gates of the city.
There was no real resistance to the
revolutionists occupation of the va
riOus forts.
The American cruiser Albany is
on its way to WI Sung.
Large numbers of Japanese are
fighting in the ranks of the Chinese
revolutionists. Among the officers
of the rebel army which invested this
city yesterday are number of jap
anese, who were made officers of the
revolutionary posts.
