London, Oct. "a. 1889 A. M.-The
battle for the road to Calais. was still
undecided today. .a4
The territory west of the User. the
crossing of which cost the German
army the loss of more men compar-
ed with the area of hostilities than
any single engagement of the war,
continues to be the scene of the dead
lest of conflicts, and although it Is
said that the flow of German REIN
forcements seems to be without end
they apparently, judging from news
in LONDON, have made no noteworthy
advance since gaining this river.
The left wing of the allies have been
reinforced, fact which may be due
in part to efforts to offset the con-
slant tide of fresh German troops and
in part to make good the decreased
activity of the British fleet which, &C
cording to German advices has beef
forced to withdraw further from the
coast line by the effective fire of the
German artillery. No German ships
aside from submarines have been re-
ported in this vicinity, but the Lon
don press is daily deyoting more
space to such contingency and the
tone of all the articles seems to be
that the appearance of German war
ships would be welcomed as presasins
the sea battle for which the Britons
have SO long been hoping
Germany has number of small
cruisers at wilhelmshaven together
with a detachment of destroyers, and
the sudden appearance of some of
these ships, perhaps accompanied by
battle cruiser, would be no surprise.

take. 1 have been taking this medicine
for IL years" When the doctor asked
him where he kept 1t he said: Why
right here" and reached out and took
the bottle from the shelf on the south
side of the flag house. The doctors
were unanimous in their opinion that
the cause of Mr.. Kelso's death was
strychnine poisoning. The symptoms
were decidedly those of strychnine
poisoning. The bottle from which Mr.
Kelso declared he took the medicine
and which had contained a white sedi-
ment was produced in evidence and
the result of the analysis of its con-
tents by Professor Cram of Bowdoin
was read, to the effect that the bottle
contained six grains of strychnine,
enough to kill IL men, as one-half
grain is considered a fatal dose. Ell
mer c. Douglas, agent at the local
railroad station, Leon Jones, section
boss, Martin Tracy and Dennis Hayes,
section hands, were asked If they
knew of anyone who had applied for
the position of crossing tender or who
were DESTROYS of obtaining such a po-
sition ana all answered in the mega
tive Thomas Burns gave rather an
interesting bit of testimony when he
stated that about the first of October
he saw Mr. Kelso with a small glass
vial about the size OF his finger partly
filled with a coiorless liquid like water.
That Mr.. Kelso poured one drop from
this vial into a glass, filled the glass
with water, and said that this was a
powerful medicine and that there was
enough in the vial to kill 10 men.
Mr.. Burns gave 1t as his opinion that
Mr.. Kelso committed suicide. The report
of the analysis of the organs that had
been removed in the autopsy stated no
strychnine had been found in the organs.
But DR.. Harris said that this does not
prove that death was not caused by
strychnine, for 1t is well known to chem
lists that even when analysis Is made
very shortly after poisoning at times no
poison is recovered. That it all depends
on what chemical changes take place
wnen the poison comes in contact with
the ptomaines Of the body. The coroner's
jury consisting Of H. p. Clearwater fore
man. NJ. B. Clement, Geo. H. Willis, NJ.
e.. Shea, James Burns and C. B. Hobbs,
after short period alone for elaboration
rendered the following verdict:
That James e. Kelso came to his death
Oct Is, 1914, from the effect of power
full dose OF strychnine alkaloid admins
tered by some party or parties unknown.

ERNEST LAWFORD
NOT A TYPE ACTOR

It is far cry from the swashbuckling,
growing Capt Hook in Sir James Bar
rie's never-to-be-forgotten Peter Pan
to the suave young Partisan, Valentine
De. Barroyer, in "The Beautiful Adven-
ture," and the fact that Ernest Lawford
played the terrifying pirate captain as
perfectly as he plays the French dandy.
speaks a lot for his skill as an actor in
these days of type-acting. The managers
are largely to blame for It. but neverthe-
less il is true that there are very few
actors on the stage today who can play
a pirate or Partisan upon managerial
call
Producers have compelled players to
stick to a certain type for so long that
they have robbed them Of that versatil-
ity which makes the true actor and very,
very few present-day players 'in their
day play many parts" Mr.. Lawford is
one of the few exceptions. One year au-
dIences will admire him in a difficult
character role such as he did as the
tramp in "Passers By" and the next he
Is an ardent young lover as In Love
Watches with Billie Burke. This year
he is also enacting a straight role as
the young bridegroom who is deserted
within FIVE minutes OF his wedding. But
next year Mr.. Lawford hopes to have
another character role, ror like every
actor he loves TO create character types.
He declares that the role he loves the
most was that OF Capt. Hook In Peter
Pan" and if Charles Frohman would al
low him, he would love to be travelling
out West with Miss Adams and again
terrifying the children as the gruff old
captain who is finally vanquished by the
triumphant spirit Of youth as symboIiEed
by Peter Pan.
