MURDERS WOMAN
 DOCTORS OFFICE
Husband Knew Nothing of Illness of His Wife Nor of Her Trip to
 Doctors Residence.

FREEPORT, N. Y, July Mrs. Louise Bailey, the wife of a Brooklyn hat manufacturer, was shot dead last evening by an unknown assassin, who broke a window in the private office of Dr. Carman, of this city, and fired two shots at the woman, both of which caused fatal wounds.
 The office of pr. Carman is also his residence and George Bailey, the hus- band of the murdered woman, who knew nothing of bis wife's supposed illness and had never heard of Dr. Carman. was surprised when told that his wife had died in the office of the Freeport physician.
 Dr. Carman stoutly denies that any but professional relations existed be- tween his patient and himself and further that the visit of Mrs. Bailey last night was her first to his office.
 The police endeavored to have bloodhounds trace the murderer, but the lawn of the Carman residence was so trampled upon by the mob which gathered that the dogs were useless. The police are now working on the clue given them by by stander, who claims to have seen a young woman hastening to the depot just after the murder was committed The police believe that some woman infatuated with the doctor may have become jealous and killed her sup posed rival.

WEST VIRGINIA
 HAS GONE DRY
Estimated 25,ooo People Lose Posi- tions and That Property Loss
 is Sky MiIiions.

WHEELING, w. Va, July 2.-As a result of the election held here in 1912 this state went dry today, the two years having been allowed for the liquor dealers and brewers to readiust their affairs to the new con- .ditions.
 No liquor is to be sold or manu- factured in the state under the new law. Twenty-Five thousand men were discharged today and are idle until they can secure new positions, while property estimated to be worth $60,- 100000 will now be worthless and must be thrown upon the junk heap.
 Stringent legislation against those who seek to sell intoxicants became effective with the new order. To give away liquor or to sell it means a jail sentence and fine for the first offense. Jail sentences not to ex- ceed five years are provided for second offense Patent medicines to the extent of half those now sold throughout the United States are barred from sale in this state. All preparations containing more than one-half per cent of alcohol are class ed as intoxicant.. Advertisements of liquors are barred from newspa- pers. It is unlawful to distribute ad vertising pertaining to intoxicants of any character.

PLUCKNC BOARD
 RET|REs FIFTEEN
Famous Retiring Board of the Navy Gets the Goat of Several Off,
 cers of High Rank.

WASHINGTON, July 2-The board of naval officers known as the pluck ing board, have retired fifteen off cers from active duty. and there has been so much protest from the in fluential friends of the victims that Secretary Daniels is seriously think ing of asking congress to repeal the law.
 Since this board was authorized by congress to weed out the inefficient officers of the navy, many charges of great injustice have been made that favoritism has been shown and that many valuable officers have been re tired without any other reason than that they were in the way of the influential ones in line for promotion. The law has not worlked out satis- factorily and great sigh of relief will come over the navy If it is knocked out.
