election commission and the Empire
Voting Machine company has been

mechanism so that they will make a
false return of the votes cast.
That seventeen Empire machines
were given certificate or approval by
the state commission while still in
closed in boxes and stored in barn
That the members of the state vot-
ing machine commission signed an of
fcial report certifying the Empire ma
chine could be operated at a primary
in Illinois. although the machine was
not tested on that point
Former Governor Charles s. Deneen
conducted the direct examination of
| the witnesses for the committee.

TO PROTECT AMERICANS.

WASHINGTON. II. C. July 2S.-
General Villa, of the Mexican revolu-
tionary forces, made striking move
today by offering to protect the lives
and property of Americans at MADEIRA,
according to state department dis
patches today.
The trouble at that point was caused
by a band of American cowboys at
tempting TO take the law in their own
hands when their cattle were seized
by bandits. In the fight which ensued
two Mexicans were killed. two wound
ed and others taken prisoners. There
are no federal forces near MADEIRA.
The battle ship Louisiana has left
Tuxpam for Vera Cruz and the gun
boat Buffalo has arrived at Topolo-
bampo. near Guaymas. The navy de-
partment has telegraphed to Rear Ad-
miral Cowles at Guaymas 10 take all
possible steps to protect Thomas
Hine, an American railroad man. cap
tured by the Federalists and held for
ransom.

Young Man, Alleged Aces
sorry in a Murder, Breaks
Down and Asks to Attend
the Funeral.
Hamilton, Ohio.
Dear Owen-Our baby Ada died
tonight. Come at once.
ELLA"

The above telegram was sent last
night to Owen Terry, 26. incarcerated
in the Wayne county jail, charged with
being an accessory in the murder of
Marshal Richardson, of Cottage Grove,
Ind, last March.
Terry is the father of three chill
dren and the child which died is the
youngest of the three, being only
eight months old. The child had not
seen her father since he was arrested
last March.
May Not Attend Funeral.
The authorities stated that they did
not believe Terry would be permitted
to attend the funeral of his child be-
cause of the risk in taking him out of
the state. Sheriff Bayer stated that if
a habeas corpus writ was issued in
Ohio, Terry could not be taken back
here for trial without considerable
trouble on the part of the officials
Terry cried like a baby when he
read the telegram. He stared blankly
at the message when he first opened it
and his lip quivered. He begged the

DOES WOMAN KNOW
MORE OF MURDER?
Probable That Another In
vestigation Will be In
stituted.

Does Mrs. Henry Dayton-Mau
know more about the murder of her
husband, whose body was found cov-
cred with lime in the cellar of the
Dayton home, 1106 North / street,
some months ago, than she has told
the police?
This question is being asked by a
number of persons residing in River
dale. Light brought upon the condi-
tions in the Maupin home and the
treatment accorded the three small
Dayton children has caused an agita-
ton to uncover, if possible, the true
facts relating to the murder of Day
ton.
Nothing new has been developed by
the police in the attempt to apprehend
Joseph Snyder, alleged murderer of
Dayton. Some authorities believe that
the alleged written confession of Sny-
der's purported to have been found by
Mrs. Dayton-Maupin some months af-
ter the murder, was not written by
Snyder. 1t is possible that further in
vestigation will be instituted by the
authorities.
Her Arrest Prospect.
AS a result of an investigation to-
day an affidavit may be filed against
the widow of the murdered man, who
has remarked. 1t is understood that,
according TO the provisions of the in
surance policy carried by Dayton,
each Of the three Dayton children was
to receive $100. This money, it is
said, was given to the mother to be
held in trust for the children and, it
is said, she has spent most of the $500
which rightfully belonged to the chill
dren.
The condition of Dorothy Dayton,
the 'three-year-old child who was re-
moved to the Reid Memorial hospital
yesterday morning because her drunk
en- mother was not providing proper
tcare for her, is slightly improved today.
! The other two children are still at the
Home for Friendless Women, being
cared for by the matron and Mrs.
Elizabeth Gambler, city missionary.
Dr.. Maupin is Missing.
1t was learned today that another
sensational development has been
j made in the case. DR.. George Maupin,
who recently married Mrs. Dayton,
cannot be located and it is believed
that he has left the city.
Maupin told William Lawler. a day
patrolman in Riverdale on Monday,
that his wife had threatened his life.
I An attempt to find Maupin in the city
today was unsuccessful.

TOLD OF DEATH OF BABY

sheriff to make arrangements to take
him to the funeral of his baby, saying
he would make no attempt to escape.
He said the child had been i'll ever
since he has been in Jail because of his
inability to properly provide for the
family Mrs. Ella Terry. his wife, has
been working hard to provide for the
family. Her menial tasks have not en-
abled her to secure such treatment for
the sick child as It should have had
and its death is the result.
Think Terry Innocent.
Terry did not kill Richardson.
though it was from him that his father,
Will Terry, procured the gun with
which he shot his victim. According
to some witnesses of the crime young
Terry was in no way to blame for the
murder. He was in the act of leaving
the scene of the quarrel between his
father and Richardson when his father
took the pistol from him and shot his
adversary.
1t was against the advice of the
county attorney of Union county.
where the crime was committed, that
the case was venued to Wayne county.
1.-The lack of evidence against Terry
will warrant his acquittal," said Wal
ter Bossert, legal representative of
Union county. However, Prosecutor
Edwards, of Union county, decided to
prosecute Terry, believing he can Sc
cure a conviction.
Judge Fox will be asked to grant the
young man temporary release in order
that he can attend his child's funeral.
Terry is apparently heart broken at
the death of his child. His wife and
family have been unable to visit him
here because of lack of means.

Binghampton, N. Y, July 23.-Re-
vised reports at noon today placed
| the number of dead and missing in
! the fire here yesterday afternoon at
J fifty-eight. Twenty-one bodies have
been recovered, six of them being iden-
! titled. Thirty-seven persons are still
]. missing.
Searching parties today worked in
| the ruins Of the building of the Bing-
! hampton Clothing company seeking
bodies believed buried there. Streams
! Of water were played on the building
! all night to cool them enough to allow
! the rescue work to begin. Workmen
at daylight began digging at the tons
of charred timbers, brick and mortar
! in an effort to reach the bodies still
known to be buried in the debris.
Girls Panic Stricken.
| When the girls and women working
in the factory realized that the build
! ing was burning, the main avenue of
escape had been cut off. Instantly the
other exits were choked with panic
stricken girls, eager to rush from the
building.
Buried Beneath Debris.
Only few persons reached the
street. Survivors tell Of seeing thet
fellow workers fall unconscious from
fright before the smoke and flames
swept over them. Many reached the
windows, but the firemen and others
bent on rescuing inmates were power
less to aid them, owing to the rapidity
with which the flames licked up the
inflammable mill material. Eighteen
minutes elapsed from the time the
fire broke out until the walls fell and
the building was in ruins
Cigarette the Cause.
Red B. Fireman, president of the
company, attributed the fire to the
carelessness of an employe in throw
ing cigarette butt under a stairway,
near where was stored inflammable
material.
Smoking was prohibited in the
building. but many employees were ad-
dicted to the habit, according to Free
man, and often went to the alley near
the building to smoke.
Start Investigation.
Rigid investigation of the fire will
be made by Coroner Seymour and
District Attorney Meagher. They will
investigate the charges made that
| gasoline was stored in the building
4 dangerously near the stairway from
the upper floors, and that the fire
escapes were so exposed that. many
of the dead were burned while try
ing to escape.
