CHARGED WITH MURDER OF
HER PARTNER IN HOSPITAL

Miss Rinehart, "a, and Mrs. Bluett,
SO, ran the hospital in partnership.
Last fall Mrs. Bluett insured her life
for $15,50O incurring premiums total
ing $500 a year although she was
widow with no children or relatives.
She died last January and left will
bequeathing her entire estate to Miss
Rinehart. Her death was attributed
to burns resulting from the overturn-
ing of an oil stove. Instead of noti-
flying the woman's friends, at Ala
media, Miss Rinehart took the body to
Reno and buried it.
She collected $4,000 from an In
surance company of Hartford, Conn,
but the New York Life and Prudential
Insurance companies refused to pay
and investigated. Mrs. Bluett's body
was exhumed Monday and last night
a warrant charging Miss Rinehart
with murder was issued.

report issued today by Secretary
George A. Wells, of the Western Grain
Dealers association for Ohio, Indians,

In Iowa especially the corn crop is
from two to three weeks early and

A bumper oat, corn and wheat crop
is predicted and marked tendency
OF farmers to hold their cereal for
higher market price has been follow
ed, according to Wells.
Beef and hogs show decrease from
last year, except in South Dakota,
where the beef percentage is two per
cent higher than in 1913. More than
10 600, 900 bushels OF oats will be
raised in Iowa, according to the latest
estimates and the total increase for
the western states is placed at fifty
million bushels. The timothy and hay
crop is generally short, owing to the
lack Of early spring rains, especially
throughout the southern portions, that
is, the territory covered by southern
Iowa, Missouri, southern Indiana and
southern Ohio.
The Kansas wheat crop Is being
marketed freely, particularly from

CHICAGO, July 15.-Prospects for
a strike that would tie up more than
10000 miles Of western railways in
the United States and Canada, loomed
larger today, but 1t was generally be-
lieved that arbitration under the New
lands act will be the final resort to
prevent walk out. Representatives
of $4,000 trainmen employed on the
western roads resumed their confer
ence today with the general mana
gers committee representing the roads.
They declared that the men will not
recede from their demand for reduc-
tion of working hours from ten to
eight per day without reduction In
pay.
The railway representatives were
equally firm. Railway managers de-
cIared today they would not consent
to the mems proposal. Furthermore.
they insisted that they will not ap-
peal for federal mediation II the en-
ployes carry out their threst to strike.
The employees, too. declare they will
not ask for arbitration. Each side
believes it will have public opinf.n in
its favor In the event Of an actua.
strike. The railways insist that re-
cent railway legislation regarding
equipment, has cut their earnings to
such an extent they cannot meet the
demand for reduced hours. The men

their conditions could be bettered
without cutting too deeply into the

The result Of the strike vote taken
several weeks ago showed 99.2 per-
cent Of the men in favor of a strike
unless their demands are granted.
The territory that would be affected
IL the strike was called extends from
Lake Michigan to the Pacific coast and
from the Mexican border into Canada,
including every railroad line OF impor'
