WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb a.
While officially Mr.. Taft does net
know that Colonel Roosevelt is out
for the presidential inclination, the
cabinet officers have ferrsted out that
hidden fact and devoted considera-
BILE part of the last cabinet meeting
to its discussion. The resnit was 4
decision on the part of every men,
Der of the cabinet. save one, TO go
on the stump and 60 after the colonel
the instant he makes direct attack
on Mr.. Taft. Even Secretary Meyer,
who, despite the report that he was
going to follow Henry Cabot Lodge,
his political backer, into the Roose-
welt campaign, remains loyal to the
president.
The exception is Secretary Wilson
of the department Of agriculture, who
will probably be busy up to convention
time with the committee that is in
vestigating charges against the ad-
ministration.

HUBBY LETS OATMEAL BURN
GETS BEATING FROM WIFE

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 24.-As pro-
lection from 4 promised chastisement
by his wife, hardly more than half
his size, Boyd Vessel of Kansas City,
Kas., was locked in a cell at police
headquarters iof that city at his own
request. A policeman went with him
to his home to see that the wife did
not attack him.
A neighbor called the police on the
telephone. "A man is being killed out
here" the informant said. "His wife
is giving him beating"
Henry thinner, chief of police, and
three detectives hurried to the house
in an automobile. Crouching in one
corner was Vessel. Tears ran down
his face as he begged his wife to
permit him to rise. Mrs. Vessel stood
over him with a broomstick.
"The clumsy thing let the oatmeal
burn" she said, in reply to questions
of the police. sHe even let the pan
burn so just gave him thrashing
for it." The wife, frail little wom-
an, continued to face her big husband.

Western Press.

Western Press.
LONDON, Feb. 24.-Three Italian
warships are bombarding Beirut, the
principal seaport of the Turkish prov
ince of Syria on the Mediterranean,
according to a special dispatch re-
ceived here this morning. A terrible
panic prevails among the inhabitants
of the city, majority of whom are
Christians.
The reported bombardment at Bel
rut by the Italians is the first sign of
Italian naval activity in the Mediter-
ranean for long period and appears
to be part of new plan for the
campaign recently announced. The
city has only small Turkish garrison
with 500 infantry, $50 cavalry and
artillery and engineers. 1t is not
strongly fortified.
Beirut has large foreign popula-
ton, most of whom are Christians,
and there are thirty eight churches of
various Christian denominations in the
place.

MOTHER OF C. c. EDDY LAID
TO REST.

Today all that was mortal of the
mother of one Of our best known citi-
zens, C. G. Eddy, was laid to rest be-
side her husband in the cemetery at
Tacoma, Wash.
Mrs. Eddy, who was SO years of
age, had been bedridden since last
August and since Christmas the end
had been almost momentariiy expect
ed. At the holiday season she was
SO i'll that Mr.. Eddy went up to Boul-
der to see her, but she grew some
what better for time, although it
was soon evident that the improve
ment was only temporary.
The end came few days ago at
the home of her daughter, at Bellvue,
near Fort Collins. Mrs. Eddy was a
pioneer, having come to Colorado with
her husband in 1875, and locating in
Boulder, where she lived continuously
with the exception of year spent in
Tacoma, Wash.
Four years ago she went with her
husband to Tacoma, where year la
ter he died, his remains being inferred
in the cemetery at that place. After
the funeral Mrs. Eddy returned to
Bellvue where she made her home
with her daughter until her death.
In 1905, Mrs. Eddy visited her son
in Durango, and during her stay
made many friends who have many
pleasant memories of her visit. These
and others will sympathize with Mr..
Eddy on this day when the last NOR
tai tie is severed and the mother is
laid away in her long home. Of the
three children who survive her, all
were present at the funeral, but Mr..
Eddy, who was unable to leave Du-
range at this time. AS he had vir-
tually said goodby at Christmas time,
it was not so hard as it would other
wise have been.

CANADIAN MURDER
MYSTERY IS UNSOLVED

HAMILTON, Ont, Feb. 24.--It will
be three years tomorrow since the
murder of Ethel Kinrade furnished
Hamilton with the greatest sensation
of the kind in its history and added
to the criminal annals mystery hat
the best detective talent in America
has failed to unravel.
Ethel kinrade, the daughter Of an
eminently respectable family, was
slain in broad daylight in her par
ents' home in the fashionable section
Of this city. Her sister Florence, the
only eyewitness of the tragedy, from
the first declared that the murderer
was tramp. Though the act ap-
peared incredibly brutal and audacious
and the motive inadequate, that YER
sion was at first accepted by the au-
thorities. Then discrepancies in Flor
ence Kinrade's story appeared. The
actions of her family were inexplica-
BILE. The tramp story was soon dis
credited and discarded.
The police inquiry, while it failed to
find any trace of the murderer,
brought to light remarkable condi-
tion of affairs in the Kinrade fam
lily. The investigation showed that
Florence Kinrade, Of attractive ap-
pearance and fond of gay life, was
the pet of the household, while the
other daughter, the slain one, was the
family drudge. Florence was con-
cert hall singer and frequenter of
gay summer resorts, while Ethel re-
manned at home and did the work.
While the others lived in comfort,
every luxury, Ethel Kinrade was Civ
en- mere closet for a bedroom and a
bunk in which to rest.
At the preliminary hearing Florence
Kinrade was subjected to the severest
cross-examination, but her story of
the tramp remained unshaken and the
other members of the family refused
to throw any light ON the crime. From
time to time there have been rumors
Of possible arrests and only a few
weeks ago it was reported that the
case was to be re-opened and that a
famous private detective had discov-
cred clue to the murderer. But 80
far as anything is known now the
mystery is likely to remain unsolved
and remembered for many years as
the most battling and absorbingly in
teresting criminal case in the records
of Canadian crime.

MOTHER OF MRS.
CHARLES SCHUTZ DEAD

Late last evening, Charles Schultz
received word of the sudden death of
his wife's mother, Mrs. Henry B. Lum-
mis- of Baltimore, Md, who passed
away in st. Johnsbury, VT, where she
went to be with her sister during the
illness of the latter's husband, who
was suffering from serious attack
of pneumonia.
Mrs. Schultz left Durango few
weeks ago to visit relatives in Ap-
pleton, Wis, and at other points on
the way to Baltimore, where she ex-
pected to spend some weeks with her
mother. She had reached Chicago
when the news arrived of her mothers
death, and we can understand what a
terrible shock it was.
The remains of the late Mrs. Lum-
mis- will be brought to Appleton where
they will be inferred beside those of
her deceased husband. Mr.. Schultz left
for Appleton, Wis, today to attend
the funeral, but received message
at Ignacio this morning from Mrs
Schultz that it was not necessary for
him to come, since her two sisters and
brother will be with her in her trou-
BILE, and as for several reasons it is
difficult for Mr.. Schultz to get away
just now, he will return to Durango
on this evenings train.
Durango friends will sympathize
with Mrs. Schultz in the sorrow which
is the outcome of trip she had look
ed forward to with so much pleasure

WILL TRY MILLIONAIRE
MOORES SLAYER MONDAY

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. 3D.
A lively public interest is manifest
ed in the trial of Samuel R. Timothy,
the ,HiIlsborough chauffeur who shot
and killed J. J. Moore, millionaire
clubman, in San Maeo Jan. 27. A We
nire has been drawn and other prep
arations completed for beginning the
trial in the superior court at Redwood
City next Monday. Mrs. Moore, wild
ow, Of the slain man, is expected to
be the chief witness for the defense.
Several months before the tragedy
Moore had sued for divorce, charging
cruelty and other things, but not spe-
cifically accusing his wife of miscon-
duct. Mrs. Moore filed a cross-com-
plant, asking for divorce on the
ground of cruelty. The court denied
divorce to either. Mrs. Moore was
charged with many offenses and too
much familiarity with servants and
others, and serious counter-charges
were made. Timothy, the chauffeur
who is to be tried for murder, was
one Of the witnesses for Mrs. Moore.
The divorce suit attracted unusual at
tention because the name of Rear
Admiral Thomas s. Phelps, retired,
was brought into the case In Moore's
cross-complaint.
On the night Of Jan. 27 last Moore
was called to his home by detective
whom he had employed to watch his
wife, who had continued to occupy
their home in Hillsborough, a fash
ionable suburb Of San Francisco. The
husband lay in wait at the gate Of
the grounds, and about 10:30 Timothy
drove up in his employers machine.
/ According to the statement Of Moore
before he died Mrs. Moore was in the
automobile with the chauffeur. Moore
jumped from his place Of concealment
and opened FIRE. Timothy Jumped
from the car and took refuge before
tree and fired one shot. The shot
struck Moore in the abdomen and he
died q few hours Later. The friends
Of Timothy, believe that he never will
be convicted Of murder, especially IS
Moore in his dying statement admitted
that he had fired the first shot.
