Affair is Wrapped in Mystery-In'
vestigation so Far Fruitless
No Evidence.
VERDICT C0RONER'S JURY
CAUSE OF DEATH UNKNOWN
Tramped Condition OF Ground About
the Spot Prevents Use of
Bloodhounds.

The body of a newly born white
girl baby was found along the right
of way of the Big -Four railroad, near
Twcnty ty-fourth and Park avenue
al -ut six feet from the rails, shortly
after Elk o'clock yesterday morning
Several employees of the Clark,
way to work made the discovery and
iC. II. Reed, at one time bookkeeper
for Tho Bulletin, promptly notified
the police and Coroner McManus,
who Immediately repaired to the
scene.
The child was found neatly wrap
ped in o newspaper copy of the
St Louis Post Dispatch. The theory
at FIRST advanced that the child was
thrown from a passing train, is de-
Jared by the coroner to be unten-
able, because cf the fact that no Gin
dcrS adhered to the paper and the
rumpled and torn condition which
.woNld have followed violent contact
with the ground, was absent.
As is usual in such cases many ey.
plantations were offered and many
S. 2gestions made, but the affair re
mains / mystery, That the child was
alive when born, seems beyond ques-
tiCn in the opinion Of the coroner
and other physicians, as there was
no lesion, and in cases of stilI-born
children there is always 4 blue time
to the skin.
Whether the child was alive when
placed where it was found there is
no way of ascertaining, but the po-
lice arc at work in an effort to un
tangle the skein of mystery in which
the affair is wrapped. Two deputy
sherifrs and a police officer were on
the coroner's jury and they immedi-
atcly proceeded to institute the most
searching inquiry into the affair.
1t was considered unfortunate that
the crowd about the spot was 81
great that the earth was trampled in
such Il manner as to render impos-
sib!e for the bloodhounds to get Il
scent and Deputy Sheriff Ralph
Childress decided that it would be
useless to bring them.
The authorities are following up
everything that point to the posi-
Lility of a clue and sholld anything
DEVELOP sufficiently definite to justify
it, the matter will be taken up ty
the States Attorney and the Grand
JIry
The following comprised the jury
in the case: Frank Shelves, John
Bourgeois. James Rutledge. II. M. Sui.

| Hart. Their verdict was: I've tht

Commissions Report

The educational commissions re
port was as follows:
in submitting our report, we are
| deeply moved to the conviction that
! Christian education occupies a SUI
prpme place in our denominational life.
1t is imperative that We address our
selves to this great responsibility, Civ
ing to our people Christian education
and Christian training. The progress
in all the phases of our work, now and
in the years to come, rests mainly in
the solution of this one great problem.
The performance of this task calls for
Christian statesmanship of the high
est order. TO halt and proCrastinate
in the discharge of duty so import
ant, would discourage our forces and
make success more difficult There
fore, in order to establish and maintain
school in our magnificent university
building, given us by the citizens of
shawnee, we recommends
"First-That immediate provision to
take up the present Indebtedness, pro
vide dormitory facilities and equip the
administration building, be taken at
once, in order that school may be open
ed in September, 1915.
Second That president be secur-
ed at the earliest possible date, who
will devote himself to all things neces-
sary preparatory to opening school
for the coming year.
Third That this convention re-
quest the Baptist women and women's
societies of the convention to furnish
the means to equip the dormitores.
"Fourth-That our financial task for
Christian education this year be on the
basis of 81 per capita, and that each
church be requested to undertake and
provide this amount"
Trustees Report.
The report of the trustees Of the
Oklahoma Baptist university was asI
follows:
I'VE rejoice that under the proyi-
dence of God our efforts to establish a
great Christian educational institution
in Oklahoma have been rewarded by
the gift of a 100000 administration
building and beautiful campus
ground consisting of sixty acres of
and ready for occupancy, and in order
to prove to the citizens of Shawnee
our gratitude for this splendid gift,
conserve our denominational interests
and pride, We recommend
"First- That We begin at once to
provide for the equipment of the build
ing and make other necessary pro
visions for the opening Of the school
in September.
Second That the convention in
struct the new board of trustees, in
conjunction with the educational com
mission, to secure a president for the
school at the earliest possible date in
order that the Baptist educational in
terests in Oklahoma may be fully con
served to the end that Baptist school
may soon be established which will
be worthy of our good name, and per
petuate the heritage Of Christian cit
izenship."

COLD FRAMES MORE POPULAR
Great Many Gardeners Have Realized
II Is Profitable to Grow Some
Vegetables Under Sash.

Frames are used much more largely
in all parts of the country than few
years ago, notwithstanding the fact
that greenhouse construction has been
more active. A great many gardeners
have realized that it pays to grow
some vegetables under Sx6-foot sash.
This makes it a good business propo-
sition and when frames are used on a
large scale too much care cannot be
exercised in the preparation of the
soil. 1t should be fine, fairly level and
contain liberal amounts Of sand and
humus. If to be used in the summer,
the cross-bars should be easily re-
moved so that wheel-hoes or horse cul-
tivators can be used without difficulty,
running from end to end of the long
frames The sash should fit snugly on
the side boards SO that as little cold
as possible will be admitted under the
sash. Lettuce and radishes are espe
cially desirable for frame culture.
Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1914-02-19

continued and, too, IL the Defeating
public is to secure its regular quota at
prices below prohibitive levels.
The nation has in recent years
drawn too heavily upon the source Of
fat beef output, without due regard to
the future of the supply. Farmers of
the corn belt have been prone to look
to the west and southwest for their
supplies of feeding cattle, not realizing
that the increasing population is con-
stantly calling for greater home pro
duction of fat beeves.
Time has arrived when the west, a
few years back the breeding ground
for the corn belt feeders, is no longer
able to supply feeding cattle to the
farmers of Missouri, Iowa, illinois,
Indiana and Ohio except at almost fat
steer prices. The situation Is growing
more acute each year Within the
past two years the effect of home pro
duction of beef steers in the states Of
the middle west has been relatively
shorter supply of beef than consump
tive capacity required, and the results
have been higher average prices fol
fat steers than realized in thirty years
past. But instead of general prosper
ity it has been prosperity for the few
because cattle raising and feeding ha:
declined.
