1 DEAD, MANY ILL, ARSENIC
is FOUND IN FARM WELL

Xenia, H., March 30-Mystery sur
rounds the death of w. F. Allen, a
wealthy farmer, on his farm, near
here. His brother, James Allen, is
critically i'll, and the indications are
that both were poisoned.
The two brothers, bachelors, were
taken i'll several weeks ago. Neigh
bors were called in to attend them and
they, too, became ill. Their symptoms
pointed to poison.
AS the condition Of the brothers be-
came worse, search Of the premises
was made. A white powder was found
on the rock wall Of the we'll. A sam
pie of the water was sent to the State
Board Of Health and chemists report
ed it contained arsenic.
The Aliens were prosperous, and
were well liked. Neither is known to
have an enemy. W. F. Allen was 45
years old and his brother liz ssvsrsl
years his senior.

BOY II, SKATERS
Arm BY A FALL
David Hawkins Tumbles From
Ladder and Sustains a
Serious Injury.

David Hawkins, the 12-year-old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Hawkins Of
SO N. Fountain street, fell from lad
der and broke his arm yesterday
morning. The accident occurred at the
home of Charles w. Stehr at 112 S.
Sprigg street, where David had gone
with Frank Cantrell to spend the day
with his friend, Charles Stehr, Jr.
The three boys were playing in the
rear of the Stehr home, and young
Hawkins was in the act Of climbing
to the roof of one Of the outbuildings,
when the rung of ladder gave way,
causing him to fall. One Of his hands
struck the ground with such force and
in such manner as to cause the arm
to break in the right wrist, forming
what is known as COLES fracture.
Mrs. Hawkins was advised Of the
accident and a physician was sum-
moned at once. They both arrived at
the same time, and when the nature Of
the injury was revealed by hurried
examination the boy was conveyed to
St. Francis Hospital for treatment.
His injury is of such character that
the most careful treatment is required
to prevent a deformed condition of the
arm and hand when the process of
healing is finished.

THROWN OFF HORSE,
HIS SKULL DECAYS
Green Brier Farmer UndergOes
Rare Operation Caused by
Injury.

Houston Ward, a prominent farmer
of Green Brier, came to this city a
few days ago to consult a physician
concerning treatment for what he be-
lieved was a chronic case Of catarrh.
Upon a hurried examination the
physician discovered that the nasal
passages were almost completely OBJ
structed by adenoid formation, and
upon his recommendation, Mr.. Ward
consented to its removal by surgical
operation.
While the operation was in process
the physician observed a peculiar con-
dition of the patients forehead andup-
on investigation discovered that cir
cular section of the bony structure
had decayed.
The origin of the diseased condi-
ton was traced to an injury received
by Mr.. Ward when he was thrown
form horse many years ago. He had
forgotten the incident, and it was re-
called to his mind by a relative who
accompanied him to the doctor and
who was also with him when he was
thrown from the horse.
While the doctor regards an opera
ton a most dangerous and delicate
undertaking, it is believed to be the
only method by which recovery may
be obtained.
Mr.. Ward has decided to return to
his home for a few weeks to remain
until he overcomes the effects of the
recent operation when he will again
come to this city to place himself in
the care Of the surgeons.

EXTRA SESSION TO
Be ASKED BY CAPE
Commercial Club Wants Legis-
lature to Give Railroads Newt
Lease on Life.

In an effort to prevail upon the
Frisco to reconsider its intimated pur-
pose of withdrawing some of its pas
senger trains out Of the service, a
resolution was passed at the CONNER
cial Club at its meeting last night,
whereby Governor Major will be re-
quested to call special session of the
Legislature for the purpose of grant
ing an increase in passenger and
freight rates.
A committee composed of R. l..
Lamkin, J. L. Johnson and Fred Nae
ter was appointed by President Nc
Pherson to prepare the letter making
the request of the Governor.
w. H. Stubblefield, Jr., in speaking
of the action of the legislative body
in its regular session, expressed the
belief that it was one of the best as
semblages ever gathered in Jefferson
City for law making purposes, and ex-
cused its failure to attend to the mat
ter of railroad rates, as due to lack of
sufficient time rather than from neg
lect.
He condemned Senator Charles P.
Hawkins for his attitude toward the
railroads, and moved that the Club
condemn his action in fighting the
railroads.
President Mcpherson suggested that
it had always been the policy of the
Commercial Club not to take up poll
teal differences.
Secretary A. H. Hinchey offered as
an amendment, the following: "Where-
as at the Annual Convention of the
Southeast Missouri Clubs held at
Charlottesville, majority of the peo-
pie favor more generous treatment of
the railroads; therefore we approve
the action of such Representatives and
Senators who carried out the wishes
of the majority of the people of Cape
Girardeau, and regret the action of
those who were opposed to raising the
freight and passengers rates"
The amendment as offered by Mr..
Hinchey was adopted.

ANOTHER RAILROAD
COMING into CAPE?
RumOr Revived That Either Iron
Mountain or the Cotton Belt is
to Buy C..G. N.

The recent election of Ben F. Bush
as the official head of the Missouri
Pacific-Iron Mountain, succeeding
George Gould, revives the reports that
the C. G. & N. is soon to become the
property of either the Iron Mountain
or the Cotton Belt.
The fact that the people who own
the controlling stock in the Missouri
Pacific and the Iron Mountain also
control the Cotton Belt, has started a
report that the Cotton Belt might run
into this city.
AS both the Iron Mountain and Cot
ton Belt run to limo, it would be a
profitable acquisition to acquire the
C. G. &. N. and run into Cape Girar-
dea over the Houck tracks.
The receivership of the Frisco has
precipitated the C. G. & N. into litiga-
tons, but as the Frisco Railroad Com
pany has never met it's obligations,
which it assumed in taking over the
C. G. & N, it is generally believed
in railroad circles that the c. G. & N.
will revert back to its original owner,
who is Lous Houck of this city,
Several years ago BE-. Bush recon-
mended the purchase Of the C. G. & n.
by the Iron Mountain, but the Board
of Directors rejected his suggestions.
Now that he is supreme in the man.
agement of the road, as well as presi-
dent of the Board, he could acquire
the local railroad without the approval
of the superiors.
Mr.. Bush has always been a booster
for Southeast Missouri and has been
especially anxious to link line into
Cape Girardeau. If the Iron Noun
tain were to get possession Of the C.
G. & n. the branch from Cairo could
be run through this city and made to
connect with the main line at Bis
marck by building less than forty
miles of new track.
This would give the Iron Mountain
a passage through almost a virgin
field, in addition to an interstate
business.
1t is known that high official Of
the Missouri-Pacific and Iron Noun
tain was in this city several weeks
ago and made a thorough inspection
of the C. G. & N. in addition to look
ing over the city thoroughly.

GIRL, q, FOUND DEAD ON
FACTORY OFFICE FLOOR

Chicago, March 31-The body of
Evelyn Fuery, Fl, was found on the
s econd floor of the Eugene Dietzgen
factory in Fullerton avenue today by
her chum, Miss Josephine Formiller,
when the latter reported for work to-
day. Miss Formiller said the dead girl
had remained late in the office yester-
day evening to do some extra work be-
fore locking up.
Only slight abrasions were found on
the face. There was no sign of strug-
gle. John Sanders, the janitor Of the
building, told the police he heard no
noise in the building last night. He
was not detained.
A post norton examination tended
to bear out a theory that Miss Fuery
may have been victim Of hemor-
rhage of the brain.

ROHIBITIONISTS
SAY THEY'LL WIN
I AS VETS SLEEP
Kochtitzky Men Expect to
Slip Him Into the Mayors
Office.
SALOONS WILL CLOSE
If GUM DROPS WIN
Wet Forces Must Support Rage
Solidly to Win, Leaders
Say.

1t was announced yesterday Inat the
prohibition campaign for mayor is
but the beginning of series of fights
between the vets and drys this sum-
mer.
The drys are bending every effort to
elect Otto Kochtitzky mayor one week
from Tuesday. They claim that as the
wet voters have not been able to CEN
ter their strength on either Mayor
Rage or Mr.. Phillips, the prohibition
lists are sure to win.
The leaders in this movement are
canvassing the city day and night
They have mapped out an extraordi-
nary campaign and are following it
closely. The drys have just finished
a busy week and expect to spend the
remaining days working overtime.
Dry leaders were calling on voters
several mornings before 8 o'clock last
week, and this program will be con-
tinued until election day. They ex-
pect to interview every voter in the
city who is not known to actively be
for the vets.
If Kochtitzky is elected, the pro-
hibitionists will arrange to have sew
eral noted dry speakers visit this city
for the purpose Of arousing sentiment
against saloons. The ultimate object
will be to prevent the resistance Of
saloon licenses.
A we'll known dry leader yesterday
said that several professional evan
gelists would be billed for Cape Girar-
deau, and with them would come such
temperance advocates as former Gov
ernor Patterson of Tennessee.
The first act Of Kochtitzky, if he is
elected mayor, will be to urge fifty
per cent increase in saloon licenses.
This surplus money will be used to
make street improvements, it is said,
while the fight to abolish saloons al
together is being made.
A report circulated during the past
week that Mr.. Phillips would punish
the LIQUOR dealers, if he should be
elected, because they have not united
on him, caused considerable alarm in
some quarters. While it is not be-
lieved that he would make a determin-
ed fight to abolish saloons, one of his
active advisers has stated that he
might seek revenge against saloon
men.
II the liquor interests should unite
on either Mayor Rage or Phillips, it is
certain that they would go to the
mayor. He has always been friendly
to saloon men and heretofore has re-
ceived the support of the wet element.
The drys are predicting that the
vets will be unable to pick between
the Mayor and Mrs. Phillips, thus
splitting the strength of the vets and
permitting Kochtitzky to slip into Of
flee.
It is generally known that the liq-
our people have not organized and are
showing no especial interest in the ap-
preaching election. The prohibition
lists are taking advantage of the stu
alton and are working doubly hard,
believing that when the polls open the
vets will be found sound asleep.
