PROBE DEATH OF
MAINE WOMAN WHO
DIED IN MICHIGAN

waldoboro. Me-. May is.-On satur-
day, May IS, the remains of Mrs
Clara Perdue were taken from her
grave in the Benner cemetery in Wal
doboro and taken to Waltz's under
taking rooms. where Doctors coombs
of waldoboro, cagd Of Alma, Parsons
of Damariscotta ., and Gregory or
Boothbay HarbeES made an autopsy.
DIR. Gregory Is a coroner.
Although the body had been buried
several weeks, it was in excellent con-
dition. The principal wound was g
bullet hole over the heart, the shot
having been fired directly downward
through the heart. ranging to the right
and lodging in one of the lower ribs.
1t was a 32-calibre bullet. The right
side of the woman was terribly bruis-
ed and discolored. Two long curved
cuts appeared on the neck. These were
not deep and in the opinion of the
examiners may have been made after
death. The brain was in perfectly
normal condition. The stomach was
absolutely empty. The husband of the
woman and a man named Kennedy,
who accompanied Perdue and the body
from Battle Creek, Mich. where Mrs.
Perdue died. are understood to have
stated that she had eaten a hearty
meal of baked beans and brown bread
the night before her dead body was
found crumpled in a closet. Such a
meal would not be digested SO COM
pletely as to leave no trace, in less
than IL hours
Mrs. Perdue's maiden name was
Clara Mank and she was born in Wal
doboro, where she has still several
brothers. 1t is due to her ritter, Mrs.
Angeletta Porter of Damariscotta
Mills, that the autopsy was held.

Declare Markets Flag
rantly Disregard the
Pure Food Laws of
New Hampshire
Are Given Use Of Automobile
For Inspection Of Stores

Manchester, n. H., May 19.-Women
of the Housewives League scored a
signal victory tonight when the Board
of Health voted to place at their dis
posal an automobile to be used in
making inspection of markets and to
back them up in prosecuting violations
of the pure food laws.
The women have been engaged in
controversy with the board for the
past two weeks. Members of the
league, including some of the city's
foremost women. alleged that stores
and markets in Manchester were fla
frantly ignoring the state laws gov
erning the display, and keeping of
food stuffs for sale. IT,, e4g
This charge was denied by the
board, which notified the women
through its secretary, W. K. Robbins,
that they were evidently misled. The
women retorted that they were con-
WINGED the laws were being broken
and specified several stores in partic-
ular. They also served notice on the
health authorities that the fight would
be continued until the results they
sought were attained. The league fin
ally communicated with the State
Board of Health at Concord, which
took a hand in the matter.
At its meeting tonight, the local
health board voted not only to place
the automobile at the disposal of the
women. but to send official inspectors
with them whenever they desired to
make tours of investigation.

Origin of possoffiee Names.

The history of the origin OF postof-
flee names affords many amusing facts.
Not few of the names grow out II
plumbers in writing and spelling. The
Postoffice department presumably
hasn't the time TO conduct a special
investigation in every neighborhood, -
it often jumps to conclusions or drawn
upon the imagination. In the Prince
ton Press, of West Virginia, we finA
curious instance Of a name confer
red upon postof1ice, because Of an err
ror in one letter of petition. There
is a district in that state known al
Hill Top. When the people of Hin
Top decided to ask for a poStoffice q
petition was drawn up and forwarded
to Washington City. The writer wa0
not careful to dot the 'i' in Hill. In-
stead he made a sort of loop that waa
interpreted as an ''e." Call postof-
flee Hell Top?" That would never do.
1t shocked the agents Of Uncle Sam.
But they thought they would comply
as closely as possible with local senti-
ment, so they named the postoffioe
"Tophet" Tophet was a hill on which
the refuse of Jerusalem was dumped
and burned. The fires were almost
continuous, and hence Tophet came To
signify hell or a place Of endless per-
dition. Many postoffice names are du-
plicated, but West Virginia boasts q
having the only Tophet in the land.
What difference one letter of q WORD
makes in history! 1t is said that
Nome, Alaska, got it's name from the
fact that the "a" of the word mama
was misinterpreted for an 90" A
that. it is very impressive name

FARMER and
WIFE ARE FOUND
DEAD--Ev|DENCE
POINTS MURDER

Stamford, CT. May 1s.-George Wood
and his wife were found dead In their
home in the farming district of High
Bridge, just across the line in New York
state, today under conditions which the
police say indicate murder and suicide.
Neighbors discovered the house on fire
and after putting out the flames found
the bodies. The Woods were each about
So years old.
The body of Mrs. Wood was lying,
eharred and unclothed, on a partly burn
ed bed in one of the rooms. There was
a bullet wound in the breast. Wood, full
ly clothed was lying on the floor near
by with "a bullet hole in the head. The
police say they have learned that the
Woods had quarreled frequently. and
had at one time separated and later
been reunited They express the belief
that Wood killed his wife and then, hav-
ing set fire to the house, took his own
life.

Pony Express Law
Declared Mandatory

Boston, May 19.-The so-called pony
express statute which permits the
transportation of liquor to private con-
sumers in no-license towns, was de-
clared to be mandatory by the SUI
preme court today.
Several no-license cities and towns
refused to issue express licenses, but
the court holds that the object of the
liquor law has been to control the
sale and transportation of intoxicants,
not their consumption, and there has
been no statute to prohibit the carry
ing of liquor into no-license commu-
mites. The officers of these commu-
ers but under the statute are COM
PEELED to issue licenses.

HARVEY TO TWIRL
AGAINST HEBRON

westbrook, Me-, May 19.-Tomorrow
morning at O'Clock the Westbrook
Seminary ball tossers will leave on the
train for Hebron, where they will tackle
the fast Hebron Academy baseball team
in the first of the series of two games
between the two schools. About IA men
will be taken on the trip and Coach Ell
roy BoWker will be in charge of the
men. The following will be taken: Cap
tain Walter Niles, William Davidson,
Earl Harvey, William Duncan, Guy Max
well, Frank Tilley, James Ward, Rich
mond Sargent, Myron Coleman and VIII
liam Dow.
The team will go to Hebron with an
even chance of winning and hope to
bring back a victory from the big green
school, who are considered to have an
unusually fast aggregation this spring.
Both Hebron and the seminary team
have experienced a very successful year
so far, with the seminary team having
a bulge on the Hebron team owing to
their losing to kents Hill last Saturday
while the seminary boys defeated Bruins
wick High in the championship race.
Coach Bowker will pitch Harvey in the
game against Hebron tomorrow and save
Davidson, his star southpaw, for the
Kent's Hill game at the seminary
grounds next Saturday afternoon. This
is due to the fact that Davidson has, a
slightly lame arm at present and the
rest will do him good. And again as
Kent's Hill team defeated Hebron last
Saturday the boys feel that the Hill team
will be able to give them the stiffest ar
gument, and they want to present their
strongest lineup possible against them.
They will play Hebron two games and
kent's Hill only one this year.
