TWISTED CORONER BELIEVES SLAIN
 MAN MURDERED
Suicide Theory Advanced By Wife Is Doubted by Dr.
 Herman.

A at V Winsted Conn, Jan. 2.-That Chas. Refer, who was shot to death with a revolver at his home in Morris on May g, last, did not fcomInit suicide as
 his wife testified at the time, but died at the hands of some other person. is the opinion of Coroner Samuel A. Herman, given in his finding i'll the case made public today
 The coroner. in the finding says he did not conclude his investigation un- til December 24, adds that Keller was apparently an industrious man and kind to his wife, reIers to the condl- ton of the bedroom where the shoot ing is said to have occurred and con tinues.
 HIS wife testified that he fired the revolV CT at her and showed me where the bullet had entered a door beyond
 where she was then kneeling or about
 to kneel and that ne fred g. second shot into his own head. ~ 7.sShe also testified that he was on
 his knees facing her, she being in a westerly direction from him at the time he fired a shot at her and that
 his body had not been disturbed py her or anyone else at the time ] viewed it on May 1O-
 From the testimony was abloe to obtain, I am satisfied that the de l ceased was kind to his wife and that from the location or the wound in his head the position or the revolver In his hand and the condition in which the bedc1othes were, the wound was not self~inficted. .sThe testimony of Mrs. Keller and | her brother John Iinsxi, who lives | about three-q quarters of mile from the Keller residence. and MT Ilnd7T skis wife, Anna. was not at all satis- factory and was conflicting and am ga tiefied not altogether truthful ] "I am also satisfied that Mrs. Kef-
 fer knows more about the death of
 her husband that she has stated to
 me and that it occurred in 2, different manner that she detailed in her test1- mony. Her manner and testimony seemed to point to bitterness between her and her husband.
 q am of the opiasron, after the in ouiry. autopsy and inquest that Chas- Keffer,s death was mot caused by himself but was caused by a bullet fired from a revolver in the hands or
 some other person that the said Chas.
 Keller and that his death was caused
 by criminal act of some other person than himself and to the coroner at this time unknown"
 Keller was ss years old and, besides

U: s. ARMY ORDERED. TO GIVE AID TO
 FLYING MEXICANS
Wounded and sUnarmed Men To Be Helped by Ameri-
 can Troops.

Washington, Tans 2-Brig. General Bliss, commandin6 the Texas border forces, has been Instructed by Secre- tary Garrison to 3pernnit Mexican re- fugees tos cross into Texas from Ojdnaga if that is necessary to save eral Bliss, which feiterates former orr ders on the same subject follows:
 With reference to possible situa- ton at Ojfnaga Incident to people crossing the river,Iyou will have to meet demands for situation which can. not be foreseen at present Extend such aid to wounded as humanity in- .dicates and permit refugees to cross the river if crossing is necessary to save life.
 ..In other words. it is not expected to force people back to Mexican side if they are liable to be shot or other wise injured on their return. Co., operate fully with Red Cross. You are not expected to turn supplies over to Red Cross but to cooperate with them in their work ito such extent as may be necessary to meet urgent needs of the situation with reference to caring for wounded
 Discussing conditions at Ojinaga, Secretary Garrison today said.
 When the fighting first took place on the Mexican side and the soldiers of the defeated party began coming across the border, we, without regard to technical questions of law and in the interest of humanity, took in as refugees all those who came unarmed. We kept them sol long as conditions on the other side were such that we felt that it would be inhunan to turn them back.
 'sIn a general way, we kept them until they could be safely allowed to filter back across the border into their own country. These orders have nev- CT been changed and, if properly in- terpreted, the men who have been fighting on the other side of the bor- der and who come over unarmed, are treated as refugees and are allowed to stay on our side of the line rather than be turned back to practically cer- tain death. Armed men who came over are, of coIrse, disarmed, the arms are held by our people and the men themselves received as other refugees
 With regard as to what will happen if a. very large number attempt to come over can only say that unless the orders are changed (which, of course, they may be, if an exigency calls for change) these men will be treated as I have stated; that is, they will be treated as refugees. How long they will be permitted to stay and all other hypothetical questions am un- able to answer

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
RECORD MARKET FOR DuLLNEss
Of Any Half Holiday Session in Four.
 teen Years.

New York. Dec. 26.-With its mease output of about 24,00o shares, today's session of the stock exchange was the record for dullness of any half holiday. in II years. OpeniT1% prices were most ly lower U. $. Steel and Southern Pa cific again selling at the lowest prices permitted under the existing rules, while other prominent issues manifest ed heavier tendencies.
 Improvement was noted in the final hour, Reading, Lehigh Valley, Union Pacific and other high priced railroad stocks gained 1 to 2 points over Thurs days close on buying that came prin- cipally from the short interest There appeared to be less outside demand than usual. except for some of the in- vestment stocks. Steel alone of the leaders failed to better it's position, at no time advancing the smallest frac- ton over it's minimum.
 Bethlehem Steel regained part of it's recent decline and some of the equip ment group also participated in the late recovery.
 Outside news bore only indirectly upon the financial markets, advices from the dry goods and textile trades, however being of a. more encouraging tenor. Holiday trade in retail lines de- rived some impetus from the more seasonable weother, but mank clear ings clearly show a marked falling off ill comparison with the corresponding period of 1913.
 There were runors of large foreign orders for cotton and copper to be shipped within the next fortnight, to- gether with large war supplies. Cos sip associated these orders with Ger man interests. probably because the inquiry was said 10 come from banks with such connections. Even the banf; statement was of less than ordinary interest, most of the changes, includ- ing the cash gain, being trivial as tc amounts and failing to reflect the shifting of loans formerly so general al this period.
 The bond market was steady with ] sales (parv alue) of $43S, 900.
 United States government bonds were unchanged on call for the week.
