D. J. STAFFORD TO
 TO LOSE HIS LICENSE

The altouor license of Dudley J. staff ford, proprietor of the Stratford Inn. Strafford. will be revoked in few days by the county commissioners. This action must be taken because Judge James F. Walsh of the common pleas court refused to give Stafford certificate. Stafford was recently convicted upon the testimony of the state police of violating the liquor law.
 The statutes provide that when a certificate is refused the license must be revoked. The commissioners said today that no formal action had been taken yet but the papers would prob ably be signed next week. At that time Stanord's bond will be called also.

5000 WOMEN
 IN FUNERAL
 PROCESSION Escort Body of Derby Marry Through London Today
MiIitants Indignant at Sugges- tiOn of Scotland Yard Pay No
 Attention to the Police

London June 1EThe suffragettes, militant as we'll as non-militant, had made elaborate preparations for the funeral, today, of Miss Emily Wild celved in interfering with the Kings horse during the running of the Derby on June 4.
 A special train, brought the body of the martyr" from Epson to Victoria Station where a procession composed of between 5000 and 5000 women was organized to escort it across the city through the principal streets to St Georges church, Bloomsbury, where the service was held. Crowds gath cred early in the vicinity of the miIi- tant suffragette headquarters where the blinds were down and a huge ban ner hung at half mast. Detachmen of women arrived from the provinces to participate in the parade. Most of them were dressed in white with purple sashes and black bands round their arms and carried bouquets and Wreaths of white flowers
 Shortly after midday 20 bands as- sembled at the Victoria station where there was a great display of wreaths bound with fhe euffragette colors and banners to be borne in the procession. One of these bore the legend, Flight On. God wi1l Give the victory and another tfUnconQuerabIe and Not Afraid.H
 The train. bearing the coffin left Ep- som station soon after Il o'clock. The coffin was covered with purple. The funeral procession was to pass through the main streets of London between Victoria station and Bloomsbury. The officials of Scotland Yard suggested that the women should parade through the quieter side streets. They be- came highly indignant and announced that they would pay no attention to the police. The coffin was drawn e2zy four black horses and the bands play ed dirges while members of the vari- ous organizations fell into line behind the hearse, each group headed by its banner and all wearing mourning em- blems. Enormous crowds surrounded the station, making progress difficult. The parade was divided into il sec tions, under the command of the chief marshal, Miss Mary Allen, who on several occasions has suffered impris- onment for the cause
 The suffragettes marched in fours, all carrying flowers. The coffin was in the middle of the procession and the clergy of St. Georges church, Bloomsbury, marched at the head. The pastor of the church, Rev. Charles Drdd Baumgarten, issued a statement that he was not a sympathizer with the women's militant tactics.

Taking the position that the state board of pharmacy commissioners has overstepped it's powers in revoking his drug license and his pharmacist Ii- cense, Abraham Burnstein opened his drug store today as usual, and did business.
 J. A. Leverty of this city, secretary of the state board, and one of the prominent figures in the nation wide crusade against the abuse of drugs, when he learned of Burnstein's inten- ton, said the board did not regard the Burnstein store as a drug store, and would proceed against it as against any unlicensed place conducting a drug business. The board revoked the license yesterday.
 Burnstein plans to fight the case in the courts. acting under legal advice. He is represented by Fal1on & Green stein.

MANY CHANGES TO BE
MADE IN CURRENCY BILL
Provision to Retire National Bank
Notes and Refund Two Per Cent
Bonds Will Be Restored To
Measure.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June "a
The administration currency bill is to
undergo some important changes be-
fore being pushed for action in other
the house or the senate, although the
measure will be introduced in both
houses in virtually the same form as
recently made public by Representa-
tive Glass.
The provision for the retirement of
national bank notes and refunding 2
per cent government bonds with a
per cent. issue will be put back into
the measure later, it is understood,
with the consent of the administra-
tor. This provision was in the bill
before the final conferences at the
White House but was taken out be-
cause of opposition by Secretary
Bryan and others.
Much criticism against the measure
among members of both houses has
been directed at the proposal to create
new kind of paper currency with
out withdrawing national bank notes
or providing against depreciation of
value of 2 per cent government bonds
that secure these notes.
1t is said now that this objection
has become so strong as to convince
administration leaders the provision
must be restored if the bill is to pass.

Temporary insanity the
Cause.

BISBEE, Ariz, June 21.-Charles
T. Moore, outside superintendent of
the Bisbee-Naco Water Company,
committed suicide here by hanging
late yesterday afternoon. His body
was found by F. E. Dent, pump
house assistant, hanging at the rear
of the pump room concealed from
view by the water tank, his feet be-
ing about five feet from the floor,
and the tragedy Immediately re-
ported.
Moore was one of the most con-
genial and popular men in the dis
trict, having a large acquaintance.
Temporary insanity is given as a
reason for his rash act. He had
lived in Bisbee for the past eight
years He returned from an extend
ed trip to Hutchinson, Kansas, three
weeks ago, where he had gone for
his health, being accompanied by his
wife and 11-year-oId son. He at
once resumed his position with the
water company, which he resigned
when he departed, but his friends
noticed a change in the man. His
former good nature seemed to have
departed and he appeared morose.
He was at work as usual on the day
he killed himself. He was a men,

PEARCE, June 24.-With two bull
let wounds from a large calibre gun
piercing him through the body Tom
Wilson, was found today in a wash
near the Chiracahua Cattle company
ranch about Is miles out from this
town.
At Tombstone Luther Price, a
friend of Wilson, is in jail charged
with grand larceny. Such light as
is now available upon the death of
Wilson indicates that the charge
against Price will be changed. se
Wilson has been missing about ten
days. He left Pearce in company with
Price The two had in charge about
ten head of horses belonging to Will
son and went out for the purpose of
selling the stock. Wilson is said TO
have had about $500 on his person
when he left. 1t is said there was no
money on the body when found.
Several days after their departure
Price returned to Pearce with most of
the horses. He also appeared to have
plenty of ready cash. He said that
they had sold part of the horses and
that he had arranged to buy the ball
ance, and that Wilson had concluded
Ito go outside for trip.
The explanation did not satisfy

Price being unable to show bill of
sale for the horses, was arrested on a
grand larceny charge and held under
this pending further Investigations the
latter resulting in the finding of the
body this morning. Wilson has been
dead more than a week.
Wilson was about "a years of age.
He was recently in prominence, as had
also been Price, in the actions against
cattle thieves in the vicinity of
Pearce. Bith were witnesses against
Scott Catliff in the sensational trial
attending his arrest in connection
with the theft of a steer.
That Tom Wilson was murdered and
his body left in the deSolate wash
where it was found, is the belief here.
The story of Price upon his return
here is generally believed to have
been manufactured for the occasion
and he will have to- produce strong
evidence in. his support in order to
convince the community that the
charge now resting against him
should not be changed to a far more
serious one.
