Parents of Florence Bradley
Say "Murder"-'Suicide,"
Declare Police.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, May 1.-THE
mystery of the death of Florence Brad
ley, a young woman of this city, baf-
fies both her family and the police. After
her parents and friends had searched
vainly for her almost a week. her life
less body was found floating in the
Ohio river.
Our little daughter was murdered
after being lured from her home by
some unknown person." emphatically
assert members of the Bradley family.
Their theory is sustained by many
friends and %neighbors of the dead girl.
But the police and detective force of
the city have a quite different theory.
They believe the girl took her own life
after being disappointed In a secret love
affair.
It is known by the police that the girl
had such an affair. 1t Is also said that
her lover had recently failed to keep
an appointment he had made with her.
Piqued at the fickleness, 1t is believed
by the police that she was determined
to make him jealous, and introduced
another young man into the case. In
the latter company she walked past her
sweetheart, supposedly ignoring him.
Later, the police say. she made an ap-
pointment with the former.
A few days later she met her lover
and he scolded her for keeping company
with the other fellow. She then told him
Of the engagement she had made, but at
his request she agreed to break 1t and
meet the sweetheart instead.
The theory is that this second appoint
ment was also broken. and that Florence
took this to heart, and 1t became <the
motive for the suicide.
Unwilling to accept this theory of the
case. the parents of the dead girl are
searching for some clue that will bear out
their theory. They believe that she was
the victim of some fiend who enticed her
from the street she was following on her
way to her home.
They believe she was drugged and then
the senseless form thrown into the river.

WORKMEN NEAR DEATH
INSIDE A dead" BOILER

NEW YORK. May 17.-Luigi Ferra
and Joseph Sitra, both boilermakers,
were inside one of the dead boilers
of the steamship Oceana of the Ber-
muda line, tied at the foot of Atlantic
avenue, Brooklyn, yesterday, scaling
the rust off the boiler pipes with
chisels. While they We're standing in
their cramped quarters among the
steam pipes somebody in the engine
Dom turned steam into the boilers
where they were working.
In an instant the two men were
surrounded by hot pipes which scared
their flesh wherever they turned.
They screamed, but their cries were
unheard. One of them. Joseph Sitra,
managed to back to the door, carry
ing his companion, who had tainted
with the pain, in his arms.

In a Separation Action.

NEW YORK. May 17.-William II.

Court action for separation. His wife,
Cacelia Gilman. charges that he mas
abandoned her. She applied yesterday to
Supreme Court Justice Blanchard for
$1,000 alimony to insure her support
during the coming summer. She is an
actress. but is not sure of an engage
intnt after Tune 1.
Mr. Gilman opposed the application
ubon the ground that he entered into
Il separation agreement in 1907 and
agreed to pay his wife $3.50 a year.
he says he has paid her $3.50 a year.
Airs. Gilman declares that this private
aRreement was abrogated because her
husband lived with her afterward at
,851 West End venue Gilman says
he was only a lodger In this house at
the limo his wife lived there.
Justice Blanchard denied Mrs. GIL

TO the effect that he is the father of Il

Evelyn. he says, never mentioned the

NEW YORK, May 17.-Insisting that
the most significant portion of a letter
purporting to have been written by
Harry Thaw was n forgery, Clarence
Shearn, counsel for the slayer of Stanford
White. asked District-Attorney Whitman
yesterday to make an Investigation on
the ground that the latter's postscript
was false and libellous.
The letter was printed Yesterday as
being part of the evidence to be in
troduced by former District
Jerome at the forthcoming test of Thaw's
sanity. Its rambling and incoherent
phrases were followed by a list of FIVE
names, against three of which appeared
the word XIII An examination of the
files of the Observation-Disclosures office dis
closed the letter, but no postscript was
attached to it.

The dfstriet-attofDey's office did not
give the letter out and Mr.. Jerome said
he had not done SC. Because of this
and for other reasons Mr.. Shearn stated
that he had grounds for believing that a

Answer to an Editorial

Editor the MiSSOurian:-In an in
sue of the MissOurian before the hOl-
idays, an editorial appeared con-
cerning the contrast between eXpen-
ditures in the L. S. life-saving SER
vice and in preparation for war. The
writer bewailed the fact that, where
as the coast defense guns. costing
thousands. are effective over a range
of many miles. the poor. cheap, lit
reach a wreck quarter of a mile
distant
The reason for the nOn-develop-
ment of the lifeline gun is. in real
ity, purely mechanical. and is in no
way due to callOused Indifference on
the part of the government.
This particular gun is required to
carry line. loosely attached to the
nose of the prOjectile. The line is
as strong as possible and is paid out
as rapidly as can be managed, but
the limit of speed is soon reached.
Beyond this limit, the line breaks or
snarls.
The protective can. of course.
travel no faster than the line it car
ries. hence its maximum velocity is
fixed. Since the range is directly
dependent on velocity and a long
range requires a fiat trajectory, and
consequent high velocity. the range
of the gun is. and must of necessity
be, very short.
To compare this with any other
piece of ordnance is unfair.

YOU have just come in from big
story and it is near press time. Sup
pose that just outside the window
there are street cars changing. while
ON all sides of you are telephones
buzzing. copy boys hurrying and all
the hustle of a city newspaper Of
flee. Suppose your story is being
cut from your typewriter a para
graph at a time as you write it and
rushed to the printer. Do you sup
pose you could collect your
thoughts? Do you suppose you
could tell your story. simply and
briefly and cOnnectedly and withal
so clearly and in such good English
that the laborer may understand
and the critic find no fault?
That is precisely what the success
full newspaper reporters must be
able to do. If you think this des-
cription exaggerated. step into any
newspaper Office in your own state.
Only as to the street ears do the dis
fractions differ widely in the city
from those of the smaller town Of

Is it any wonder. therefore, that
newspapers sometimes make mis-
takes Is it any wonder that an in
fnitive occasionally gets split in the
shuttle or that verb and its subject
get lost? Suppose some of our kind
friends who write the English text
books were requested to gather in
formation for and typewrite not less
than 1000 words day of acceptable
newspaper copy?

Is THIS PROTECTION:

When a pickpocket takes a watch
he usually goes to Jail. When a bur-
glar enters a house he serves his
time in the penitentiary. But when
a wildcat security or stock scheme
commits robbery the promoters GO
scot-free.
The pickpOcket is decent enough
to leave ones clothes, and the burg
lar does not carry off the house,
but when the swindler takes count
of his winnings he usually has made
a clean sweep. Often he does not
only take the house and clothes. but
also the wherewith to replace them
the hope, the vigor and the cour-
age of the victim.
1t is about time something was
being done to punish this worst
form of modern thievery. So far
only one state, Kansas, has taken ac-
ton, while a movement is on foot
to provide a law for the District of
Columbia.
Other states should pass similar
laws regulating the sale of stocks. 1t
is ludicrOus for commonwealth to
brag of the protection it affords its
residents and let such practices as
this gain comfortable fortunes for
gentleman robbers"

MISSOURI FARMER-WELCO

The title American farmer is
written large in the history of our
country. 1t was the American farm
er, settling along the Atlantic coast
who won our independence: drove
the skulking red man from his MUIR
derous sortie; pioneered across the
continent, Drawing disease, warfare,
poverty and isolation, and gained an
empire for freedom.
Israel Putnam was one of a multi
tude of American farmers who have
left their plows standing in the field
to answer the country's call in every
crisis of the nation.
The American farmer is the foun-
dation of national prosperity. When
his fields yield there is plenty. His
harvests fail and despair stalks
abroad. The products of his labors
during 1911 were $S,417,OOO,OOO-
s1OO for every man, woman and
child in the land.
The Missouri farmer produced
during 1911, s75O,OOO,OOO,-$21O
for every man. woman and child in
our Commonwealth. He is the most
progressive. influential and intelli-
gent of that army which is gathering
and humanizing into wealth for the
service of mankind the great unused
forces of nature. He is Gods part
