Evidence Tightens Up
About Murder Suspect

Williston, N. D., Oct. 30.-Thwarted
in their search for a motive for the
murder of Mrs. d. T. Dillon and hel
daughter, and the attempted murder
of her husband, Williston officials
are again going over the ground
they believe was covered by Cleve
Culbertson, charged with the double
murder No detail of Culbertson's s
movements is being overlooked, yet
the officials have failed absolutely to
establish motive
The theory that Culbertson is Mrs
Dillon's first husband appears to
have been dissipated by the failure
of Mrs. Dillon's parents to identify
the prisoner as Loren Marsh, the man
whom Mrs. Dillon divorced six years
ago, just before she married Dillon.
II they could fix Culbertson's iden.
tity as Marsh, Williams county of.
ficials in charge of the prosecution
would be confident that they could
establish revenge as the motive, for
Mrs. Dillon had repeatedly told neigh
bors that she feared her husband,
and she also had told them Of her
hard life with him previous to the
time tWalye ssea :s 81 On he de.
serted her.
Culbertson sticks to his story that
he is innocent, but against his state
ments, the prosecution has developed
these facts:
Culbertson asked neighbors Of the
Dillon family several hours before
the murders for directions to their
residence; Culbertson reached the
Dillon home about a or S p. m. the
day of the murders. previous to the
time that Dillon reached home; ON
itting details of the murder, commit
ted about 6 or Z p. M, Culbertson
was next seen in Ray, where he reg
istered for the night at a hotel dur
ing the early part of the evening; Cui-
bertsop disappeared from his room,
and, on leaving the hotel, he tore
from the register the sheet bearing
his name
cut tbertson's grip was found In the
Ray station, where 1t had been for
several hours previous to the murder,
although he swears positively that he
was in Williston at the time.

Weather Over States
Generally Favorable

The severe heat, wave that had con-
tinued during the greater part OF the
summer over the middle west was ter.
minated about the end of the first
decade in September9 since which time
much unseasonably cool weather has
prevailed. Following the close OF the
heated period general rains set in
over the western portions of the corn
and cotton belts, where drought had
so persistently prevailed, and through
out the remainder of the month pre-
cipitation was of frequent occurrence
in those districts as well as to the
eastward
For the month of September as a
whole the average temperature over
the great central valleys was not far
from the normal, the extreme heat of
the first decade largely overcoming
the continued cold of the last two de-
cades of the month, while in other
districts the departures from the ay-
terage were moderate. Rainfall was
above normal over much of the coun.
try, especially in the districts where
drought had previously prevailed, the
amounts in portions of the central
and west Gulf states and over the
plains region as for Dorthward as
Kansas and Colorado being in many
cases far in excess of the average.
For the period October l to 10. the
weather has been moderately warm
over all the great agricultural dis
tricts and rain has been heavy in
many portions of the cotton region
The general outlook is for seasonable
weather in the near future. without
marked extremes in temperature, but
with normal rainfall, and there is no
Indication at the present time of gen.
eral frosts in the south
Unusually early frost in September
caused considerable injury to staple
crops in the interior portions of New
YORK and New England, and killing
frosts have been rather general over
the northern portions of the corn
pelt, but no material damage occur
red, due to the early maturity of that
crop on account of high temperatures
and lack Of raj. l.. i: Il the latter Il part
OF the growing season. The weather
was mostly favorable for cutting and
curing the corn crop and for the
growth Of fall pasturage, but dry
weather interfered with plowing and
succeeding wet weather has delayed
seeding, so that the wheat crop is
generally being sown somewhat later
than usual. but under favorable CON
ditions as regards soil and moisture
In the southern states heavy to ex-
cessive rains have doubtless caused
considerable injury and loss to cotton
In the fields, and the continued wet
weather has materially interfered
with cotton picking, especially in the
states to westward Of the Mississippi
river, Where dry weather Is now much
needed. The abundant rainfall has
been beneficial to top-growth cotton.
and # frost is sufficiently delayed a.
considerable addition to the crop NAV
be expected from that source.
In the great fruit districts Of the
west the weather has been mostly
favorable for maturing and picking,
and the drying OF raisins and other
fruits has progressed satisfactorily.

ARBITRATION ACT
CAUSES Discomfort
New Department of Labor
Vigorously Criticises the
Proposed Measure

Washington, June 20.-Vigorous opposi-
tion from the new department of labor to
the proposed arbitration and mediation
act, prepared by the railroads and rail-
road brotherhoods for enaetmtn by Con-
gress was voiced today when the measure
was presented to a joint session of the
House and Senate interstate commerce
committees.
Secretary Wilson criticised the new
measure as going beyond the necessities
of the hour. He suggested that the only
emergency legislation NEEDED was amend
ment to increase the size of the board OF
mediators under the Erdman act He
was not in favor of creating bureau of
mediation.
Seth Low, president of the National
Civic Federation, had informed the COM
mittee that the railroads and brother
hoods had agred upon a new bill. which
would create a commissioner of media
ton and concilation, appointed by and
responsible only to the President This
commissioner with two designated gov
ernment officials, would constitute a
board of mediation and conciiation, tc
whom matters of dispute could be re,
ferred.
Mr., Low insisted that the bill shoulc
be passed Immediately He added that h,
was uncertain as to whether the railroads
and the brotherhoods would agree to Sec
retary Wilson's suggestion.
Consideration of the bill will be con
tinued.

Montgomery. June 20 Special l)-When
c. II. Roquemore. attorney for Mrs. w.

Roquomore and struck him. Then one OF
Gunter's daughters by first wife slapped
Roquemore on the face.
The fight occurred in open court dur
ing the taking of testimony by Clifford
Parks. acting as register in chancery.
Gunter asked DIR. Charles Thigpen a

neys in Alabama, was special master in
one of the railroad Fate hearings and is
father of CASTOR Gunter, senior judge

BISHOPS SET FORTH
THEIR OBJECTIONS TO
GIFT Of CARNEGIE
unwilling That the Uni
versity Be Dismembered
and the Church of
God DishOnOred"

Nashville, June 2O.-At a meeting of the
bishops OF the Methodist Episcopal
church. SOUTH attended by nine members
OF the college of bishops. a veto message
was drawn up, setting forth the follow
ing objections to the action of the board
of trustee in accepting .he recent sift
from Andrew Carnegie to ;he Vanderbilt
Medical college,
That the action of the board OF trust
OF Vanderbilt in accepting the gift is n
breach of trust vested in it under and by
virtue of the resolutions of the Memphis
conv vention. which constitute the founda-
tion of Vanderbilt university; that said
action is beyond the powers of the board
and that it constitutes a diversion of a
large portion of the funds and property
of the university from the trusts upon
which said property is held, is contrary
to the terms of other gifts to the univer-
sty and is illegal, null and void.
A copy of this action will be duly cer-
titled and forwarded to the secretary OF
the board of trust of the university.
Those attending the meeting were:
Bishops Collins Denny. e. r. Hendrix
W. r. Lambuth, f. D. Mouzon, j. C. Kill
gore. j., II. Mccoy, E. L. Hoss, Fl. c.
Morrison and w. A. Gambler.
In addition to a veto message the bish-
ops addressed a general message to the
church, stating their reasons for oppos-
ing the gift. They say In part;
"If this gift had been offered without
embarrassing conditions, as all other
gifts to the institution have been made
we should have offered no objection to
its acceptance. But the conditions at
tached to this gift and the letter accom-
panying it which must be taken as ex-
pository of the conditions, are such as
lead US to believe it cannot be accepted
without breach of trust and without
dishonor to the church, if conditions are
fulfilled in good faith to the donor.
1--WE are as unwilling that Mr.. Carnegie
should be deceived and that the university
should be dismembered and the church of
God dishonored."
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-06-21
q LETTERS TO EDITOR
Wants Carnegie Gift in Alabam ma

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
I note in today's issue of your paper,
that Bishop Mccoy and Bishop Chan
der are both opposed to the acceptance
of Mr.. Carnegie's proffered gift OF
$1,000, coo to the medical department of
Vanderbilt university And | think it is
hardly likely that MI Carnegie viii now
insist on making this donation with these
two noted divines opposing its acceptance,
especially not since there is at the pres
ent time litigation going on TO estab-
lish the ownership of that property.
Now the suggestion | have to offer is
this: That the professional and business
men of Birmingham and Mobile unite in
an effort TO have Mr.. Carnegie transfer
his proposed gift to the medical depart
ment of the University of Alabama And
/ am prone to state one of my motives
to the suggestion.
1t is my earnest opinion that the med-
cal profession should ever be entirely
separate from the church. And I doubt
If there is any place where Mr.. Carnegie
could bestow such a sum of money as
he has proposed to give, or where it
would do more to alleviate human suffer-
ins. and better promote the well beins
OF mankind. than such a sum expended
In aiding in the scientific education OF
physicians here in Alabama.
Then why not let the doctors of Bir-
mingham and Mobile cease their wrang-
Hing and join their efforts to secure this
magnificent donation for the medical de-
partmont of the University of Alabama.
Let the profession strive with united pur
pose to make the school at Mobile worthy
to stand in the front rank OF the pre-
paratory schools of this nation, and let
us endeavor to make the post graduate
department here at Birmingham what il
should be and could be with adequate
financial aid. With our splendid climatic
conditions, eligibility of location and
abundant clinical material, we have ev-
erything to make Birmingham the ideal
place for great post graduate medical
school, and all that is lacking is money
Hence, | suggest that Alabama endeavoI
to secure Mr.. Carnegie's princely gift to
the medical department of the university
OF which tho post graduate school in Br-
,nngham is now an integral part.
