Refusal to Answer QueS-
tons of Coroner May
Put Her in Jail.
POLICE STILL SEEK
RIVAL OF BALLOU
Tests of Stains Not Yet Com.
pleted-Key Fails to I'm.
lock Mystery.


Stamford, Conn, July 2.-Homer s..
Cummings, the States Attorney, who
has taken complete charge Of the IN
vestigation of the circumstances sur.
rounding the mysterious death OF
Waldo r. Ballou, will be present when
the inquest is resumed before Coroner
Phelan here tomorrow afternoon.
Stamford people are eagerly await
ing the developments at to-morrow's
proceedings, and the morbidly curious
are hoping that Mrs. Helen NJ. Angle
will take the stand and tell her story
Her counsel Nicholas S. Downs, is
opposed to his client giving any testi-
mony, but the Coroner may force her
10 tell her story. Should she refuse, IT
is believed, the Coroner may resclnd
her bond and order her recommlttal TO
Jail.
Chief Of Police Brennan believes
there was a second man In the apart
ment of Mrs Angle when Ballou met
his death, and he is firm in the bellet
that Mrs. Angle can reveal the identity
of this man. Chief Brennan has a sus-
picion as to the identity OF the man,
but in the nine days that have elapsed
since the body of Ballou was found on
the sidewalk in front of the Rippowam
Building, where Mrs. Angle had a
studio apartment and where Ballou
spent the evening, he has not been able
TO get enough evidence TO support his
belief 10 warrant the arrest Of the sus-
pect
DR. Bruce s. Weaver, the bacterlolo-
gist and pathologist Of Stamford Hos,
Dital. who took specimens Of blood
from the apartment of Mrs. Angle and
from the halls and stairs, had not COM
pleted his analyses tonight.
The authorities refused to say II the
stains on the heel of the electric
smoothing iron found in Mrs Angles
apartment and which Chief Brennan
SAYS fits the dent in the straw hat OF
Ballou, which he wore when killed,
have proved to be blood.
DR.. Weaver is under subpoena for to-
morrow's session of the inquest, but
whether he will be called II he has not
completed his examination OF the bits
of woodwork, furniture and the
smoothing iron, which are believed 10
be stained with Ballou's blood, had not
been decided on tonight. -,
One thing that Chief Brennan would
like TO clear up before tomorrow IS
the mystery surrounding the finding OF
one of five keys, known to be in cyst
ence, that opened the rear door OF Mrs;
Ballou's apartment. He has accounted
for four of them, but the fifth the one
he has, he thinks is the property OF a
prominent Stamford citizen.
The latter to-day said he was Ger,
tain the key was not his, but he couId
not produce the one which had oeen
made for him. He explained that he
had mislaid IT,

LAYS VOORHIS CASE
TO HOPE OF GAIN
Attorney Asserts Ballot
Body Pushed Charges to
Impress Rich Man.

An attack on the motives for the
hearing Of charges OF incompetency
preferred against John X. Noorhis.
State Superintendent of Elections, by
the Honest Ballot Association was ad-
vanced at yesterdays session at the
Bar Association by John D. Tompkins.
one Of the lawyers for the defence.
Mr.. Voorhis was prosecuted, he as
serted, merely because the organiza-
ton bringing the charges wished TO
convince a wealthy resident Of this
city it was an active body and worthy
of contributions.
James A. Taylor, an attorney for the
Bureau OF Municipal Research, was the
only witness called yesterday.
isn't it a fact" asked Tompkins,
chat man who had been asked 70
subscribe literally TO the Honest Bal
lot Association came TO the Bureau OF
Municipal Research and asked what the
Honest Ballot organization amounted
to-"
Taylor said he did not know, nor
could he profess knowledge of any man
who had been asked to subscribe liber-.
ally, although he admitted he had
heard of such person.
Don't you know" persisted Tomp-
kins. that this investigation OF Super
intendent Voorhis is directly due 10
the query of this wealthy man as to
whether the Honest Ballot Association
was really doing anything worth
while"
"No,' replied Taylor.
"Well, we do" snapped Tompkins.
During the morning session, while
TAYLOR was on the stand, the greater
part Of the time was occupied by the
introduction of documentary evidence,
which, it was contended, showed spe-
cfc instances of laxity on the part OF
the Commissioner. Later Tompkins
put Taylor through a stiff cross-ex-
animation.
Occasional tiffs between Tompkins
and w. c. Runyon, attorney for the
prosecution, enlivened the proceed
ings yesterday. Tompkins attempted
to show that Taylor, who, he said,
posed as an expert on election law
and an accredited representative OF
the Bureau Of municipal Besmrch,
as he chose to call it, was neither.
Once, when he attempted to stop the
witness from answering question,
Runvon remarked: That's the time
YOU were stung. You didn't think he
would answer that way, did you?'
ooh. you dear, sweet thing.' replied
Tompkins. sarcastically.
The hearing was adjourned until
Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock.

Miss Bertha Sattler, Swiss girl, TO
part yesterday with $50 worth Of lace

said. had been her own handiwork, and
she had brought it here as gifts TO
friends she intended to visit. Instead
Of recording it on her declaration
Hank the young woman hid it in the
false bottom of trunk. 1t was dis
covered during her baggage exsmina-

Had she declared it Miss Satter
would have been permitted TO bring in
the lace free of duty, as it was within
the 500 allowance accorded to all pas
sPnPers.

DRINK LESS; SMOKE MORE
Whiskey Tax Declines, but
Cigarette Habit Thrives.

Washington, July 2.-Americans
drank less whiskey in the last twelve
months than they did the year be-
fore. but they consumed more beer
and smoked great many more ciga-
rettes, as shown by reports TO the In
ternal Revenue Commissioner.
Receipts for the fiscal year just
ended were 1864 ,069 less than for the
previous year, most of this decline be-
ing due to the falling off in taxes on
distilled spirits.
Receipts from tobacco taxes show
an approximate increase over last year
of $2,s0O.00O.' This gain is due almost
entirely to a phenomenal increase in
the cigarette trade.

PHONE TROUBLES
 HAVE BEEN REMEDIED

According to w. l.. Jones, of the Southwestern Telephone Company the trouble caused Thursday by the flaw in the South Laural street tele- phone cable, which temporarily put 250 phones out of commission and which was caused by water seeping into the paper wrapped wires, was practically eliminated last night, save in scattering instances.
 Whether the flaw in the lead cable was due to imperfect manufacture or in handling after reaching this city, has not been determined. The force of workmen had to take out full section of cable in order to remedy the damage done by the high water, caused by the long hours of steady rainfall.

THEY ARE
 EXAMINED NOW
Cotton Belt Dining Car Help Exam. ined As To Communicable
 Diseases.

0. H. Jennings, superintendent o1 dining cars on the Cotton Belt, today announced novel departure taken by that road. Only two roads in the United States-the Pennsylvania, and the Northern Pacific-have the same feature.
 The new feature is rigid exam ination of each and every man who handles food on the dining car ser vice of the Cotton Belt road. The object of the examination is to keep out fthe service, which requires the handling of foods,- all who may have communicable diseases such as tuber- culosis. P@
 Up to date sixty men have been ex- amined and only one man has been found who had any such disease. Not a single case of tuberculosis has been discovered. The one man who had disease was at, once, removed from the service.4 One case of Bright's dis ease was discovered. Although this diease is not courageous the man was removed and every effort will be made to induce him to take treatment at no cost to himself, and for his own good.
 This inspection costs the men no! one cent. It is made every ninety days.-Texarkana TeXarkanian.
