BODIES FOUND IN
ASHES OF HOME
Man, Wife and Daughter
Killed in a Mysterious
Fire

Glssshoro. n. J., March 23.-Lying in
the cellar of their ruined home, the
bodies of Lee Wharton, 3S years old.
his wife, Mary. 30. and their six year
old daughter, Lillian, were discovered
following mysterious fire early today
which destroyed the little farm house
about o miles from here. The body of
johnson Hemphill, az years old, farm
hand on neighboring farm, was found
in a shed behind the house with load
of shot through his heart.
Mystery surrounds the four deaths.
What occurred up to the time Hemp
hill was shot: how he was shot and the
house set afire, are details which Coro-
ner Stulz today vainly endeavored TO
ascertain
A double barrelled shotgun with
one empty shell was found near the
body of Hemphill. According to neigh
bors. Hemphill and Mrs. Wharton at
tended a moving picture show in VIII
Jamestown together Saturday night.
Whether this led to a fight In which
Hemphill was shot, or Hemphill killed
himself after a quarrel, has not been
determined
An incubator which stood in the
kitchen of the home may have been re-
spopsible for the fire. The bodies OF
the victims were so badly burned that
Ii was impossible to determine Whether
they had been shot.

EASTER BRINGS BIG
SHOW OF MILLINERY
Parades in Various Cities
Show the Latest Gown
Creations

Atlantic City, n. J., March 23.-Visitors
from all parts of the country crowded the
board walk here today for the annual
Easter parade. Furs as well as the latest
creations In gowns and millinery were in
evidence on the promenaders
AS usual, todays crowd was reported
as the biggest in the history of the re-
sort Definite figures were not available,
but 1t is certain that very few more prom
enaders could have been accommodated
at the height of the parade.
Despite the warning issued last week
by the newly appointed public prosecut 'r
that violations of the excise laws would
be prosecuted, many saloon and cafe pro-
prietors took a chance" and did a lively
business.
In the forenoon when the parade was
at its height numerous cafes were closed.
Later, however, bars that were tightly
closed in the morning were opened wide
and did a rushing business without inter-
ference.
The advocates of Sunday closing are
reported to have been busily engaged IN
seeking evidence on which to get warrants
for the arrest of the offending liquor sell
ers. Several saloon and cafe owners were
arrested last season for Sunday selling
and paid fines of $500 each. Many of the
latter were wary today, fearing that a
second conviction might bring jail SEN

SEVEN KILLED,
SCORES INJURED

Terre Haute, Ind, March 2S.-Loss of
life and severe property damage was
caused by a tornado which wiped out the
southern part of Terre Haute at 10 O'Clock
tonight.
At 12 o'clock seven bodies mad been re-
covered. Scores were injured and proper
ty damage will reach into the hundreds
of thousands of dollars.
All wires We're blown down in the dis
trict affected. This prevented rescue
work, although every available fireman
and policeman was rushed to the stricken
district.
With no warning the terrific gale swept
down upon the district. Parts of the
Root Glass company's plant were fat
tened The end of the foundry room of
the Gartland factory, a solid brick wall
is inches thick, was caved in. Brick and
stone structures suffered alike.
Lightning set fire TO many houses. Men,
women and children were crushed to
death in bed. Some escaped to the Gel
lars Whole structures were blown away
by the force of the wind. The manned
were rushed to hospitals as fas as they
We're extricated.
Difficulty was experienced in obtaining
doctors and the fremen were unable to
cope with the flames which swept the dis
trict. The heavy downpour of rain is all
that prevented scores of injured from be-
ing burned in the debris of their homes

1t has been shown that Theo Lacy, for

1t has been shown that certain other
moneys cannot be accounted for by the
treasurer of the state, to whom, in other
words. the moneys were not paid.
Charles Harold, president of the Mont

James G. Oakley. former president of e.ie

The state is now endeavoring to prove
