DEATHCAUSE
IN GIRL CASE

Salisbury, Md, June 24.-Despite
efforts. o. the authorities to keep
secret the developments in the inves
tigation of the death of Miss Florence
Wainwright, a stenographer, found
dead in the office of the Home Gas
company Friday night, it is now
known the woman did not die of
poison, as first thought, but from a
criminal operation, performed, it is
supposed, Friday afternoon in a yard
back of the company's office. 1t is
surmised at least three persons were
present when she died. That she did
not die at her desk seems certain. In
all probability she was carried into
the office and placed at the desk, the
position in which she was found.

 Ring to Study Law

ee WILL never engage in a public
 fight for money after the first of next February" says Packey McFar- land. q may give a boxing exhibition now and then. but shall not train. intend to take a course in a Chicago business college next March and then will study law.
 T intended to quit the ring after. defeated Jack Britton here last May and rested all summer without put ting on a glove. But in order to please Billy Gibson, my friend, finally agreed to box Murphy, RitcIie and perhaps Freddie Welsh in Madison Square Gar den.
 T named 137 pounds at o'clock for Murphy because was so heavy when began real training work that I didn't believe could reduce to a light CT limit and retain my strength. always have been afraid of fatal results from taking off too much weight ever since the reducing process killed Joe Cans For that reason will say right here that I never will make less than 135 pounds at o'clock again.
 If Ritchie wants to box me at that limit will take him on. The same goes for welsh, who dictated to me in England several years ago. Although the lightweight limit over there is 135 at o'clock, Welsh made me do 133 at that hour. Now intend to give him al dose of his own medicine. if he wants to meet me.
 'T have made enough money out of the boxing game to be fndependent-the rest of my life. I don't have to box unless want to. If Ritchfe and Welsh are after big money, they must get me or go without it and am going to have a lot to say about naming conditions."
