ELECTRICITY EXPLAINS
SUFFRACIST'S MURDER
Powerful Light Shows Bruises
on Her Neck.

Marlnton, w. Va. Aug. 28.--one OF
the county physicians hit on mover
method to determine the cause OF deatn
of Mrs. Francis r. Howard, the SUI
fragist, whose husband, DR.. Oliver A.
Howard, is held on tho. charge of killing
her. The physician dissected the skin
from Mrs. Towards neck, laying bare
the fatty tissue. On this he turned
the rays Of powerful electric light.
He declares the light revealed four
bruises on the adipose tissue as clearly
as il they were pictured on screen
These bruises, invisible on the skin,
may have been made by the strong I'M
preston of o. thumb and three fingers
The physician deduces that Mrs. How.
ard was killed By some one who seized
her throat and by n sudden upward
Jerk dislocated her neck. She must
have died instantly. A mans powerful
right hand seized Mrs. Howard by the
neck, the county physician says.
DR.. Howard sticks to his story that
his wife took drug. In his cell he
angrily denied ever having quarrelied
with his wife on the subject OF sur
frage or anything else.

TOWN SEEKS FORTUNE
FOR ALMSHOUSE NAN
Tewksbury Claims That Inmate
Should Share S1,5OO,OOO Estate.

Cambridge. Mass, Aug. 28.-Contend-
ing that William p. Grinnell, an in
mate of it's poor farm, was entitled to
share in the sl,5OO,OoO estate of the
late Sylvia Ann Rowland, which was
released by the death of Mrs. Hetty
Green. the town OF Tewksbury filed to-
day i'm the Superior Court here a bill
i'm equity TO establish it's claim against
Grinnell for nine years of shelter and
food. Judge Fox granted the towns
petition for temporary injunction re-
straining Grinnell's receipt or disposal
of the property and arranged Tor
hearing next Friday.
Edward II. X. Green, son of Mrs;
Green; Henry b. Day, OF Boston, and
Oliver Prescott, of New Bedford, trus--
tees of the Rowland will, are joined
with Grinnell as defendants in the pro-
ceedings.
Grinnell, who is seventy-five years
old, has been an inmate of the aims
house since 1904, except for three years
during which he conducted a bookstore
at Lawrence on funds provided by rela-
tives. He has been at the farm con-
tinuously since 1910, doing such work
as his physical condition permitted. A
relative in Paris sent him funds for
modest wants not supplied by the town,
according TO almshouse officers.
Town officials o. Tewksbury say there
is reason to believe Grinnell is entitled
to more than $4,000 from the Rowland
estate

Experts Testify Staten ISL
and Plant Might In
jure Health.
DOCTOR PREDICTS
SWARMS OF FLIES
Lawyer for Opponents
Has TiffS with
Officials.

Governor Whitman's investigation OF
the alleged menace to health in the
proposed garbage disposal plant on
Lake Island, the latest phase OF the
fight which has aroused staten
Islanders to threats OF secession,
began yesterday in Borough Hall, st.
George, before Or. Lindsey Williams,
Deputy State Commissioner of Health.
Or. John r. Hicks, one of the state
health officers stationed at Quarantine,
testified that noxious odors from the
garbage plant might have an indirect
unwholesome affect on public health.
The erection of plant would increase
the number of flies on Staten Island,
he said. Although the garbage itself
might not be infected, the swarms OF
flies would spread disease germs.
Dr. Hicks added that to deodorize a
500-ton garbage scow would be as cost
ly and tedious a process as to disin-
feet the hold Of an ocean liner. His
conjecture that the contractors would
never go to such trouble was stricken
from the record on motion of Liston l..
Lewis, Of counsel for the Metropolitan
Biproducts Company.
Most of the expert testimony con-
cerned the inspection bv representa-
lives Of the Vigilance Committee Of
One Hundred of a garbage plant in
New Bedford, Mass, similar to the
one advocated for Lake Island. Asso-
ciated with DR.. Williams on the Gov
ernor's special commission are Profess
sor William Whipple, Of Harvard Uni
versity, and Theodore Horton, consult
ing engineer for the State Health De-
partment. The hearing will continue
for several days.

GEN. BOOTHFEARS
FOR HISDAUGHTER
Risk in Inoculating Her
with Paralysis Exceeds
Gain, He Thinks.

General Ballington Booth, com
mander OF the Volunteers Of America
had his morning papers and the
greatest surprise OF his life at the
same instant yesterday morning. MOI
until he seated himself at the break
fast table and unfolded his Tribune
did he learn that his daughter, MISS
Theodore Booth, had volunteered to
submit herself to infantile paralysis
incubation to aid the fight against
the plague.
81 feel | am not in a position either
to commend or disapprove my daugh-
ter's action" the general SAID last
evening at Volunteer headquarters IN

can perfectly understand why she
should have made her proposal with
out taking her parents into her con-
fidence."
DR.. Charles F. Bolduan, director OF
the Bureau of Public Health Education
Yesterday approved DR.. Zingher's oppo-
sition to Miss Booths proposal.
at is a very noble sentiment on the
mart of Miss Booth 10 offer herself for
incubation, so she can develop IN her
blood anti-booies. to be later used IN
fighting the plague" he said. but
never heard of the incubation of hu-
man being for such a purpose. NOME

it will be accepted by New YORK scieh-
lists"
Physicians and enlisted men of the
limited States army, in Cuba sixteen
wears ago, allowed themselves 10 con-
tract yellow fever to further the
studies of the Reed Yellow Fever
Commission. DR.. James Carroll and
DR.. Jesse Lazear, both members Of the
Reed Commission, volunteered to al
low themselves to be bitten by mos
ouitoes known to have previously BIT
ten yellow fever patients. Their ex-
ample was followed by several en-
listed men.
Experiments Killed Subjects.
DR.. Lazear died few days after he
had been seized by the fever, and Dr..
Carroll, who likewise contracted the
disease, developed heart trouble that
seven years later resulted In his death.
Several of the enlisted men who
had allowed themselves to be bitten
by fever infected mosquitoes also met
death.
The self-sacrifce of the physicians
and soldiers. Major Nelson Gapen, at
tending surgeon of the Department OF
the East. declared yesterday, marked
the turning point in the fight against
yellow fever. 1t established the fact
that certain species of mosquito was
the sole carrier of the dread disease,
thus opening the way TO its practical
elimination.

please tell the Governor about this out
Mr. Chittenden's motion to suspend
the hearing on the ground that tne
state health authorities had no Jurls,,
diction over the city's garbage disposai
problem was ruled out OF order at the
opening session. Charles A. Van 1t
ten. senior member OF the Metropolitan
Byproducts Company, the first witness,
explained that steel scows equipped
with canvas coverings would be used
TO transport garbage to the reduction
plant. He admitted that there might
be drippings from the scows, particu-
larly after a storm. He explained that
the proposed plant would be similar 70

J. r. Forbes, assistant chemist IN tne
Massachusetts Department OF Health,
testified that samples OF hquld waste
products from the New Bedford plant
had given off an offensive odor. Such
matter would be determental TO heaitn,
Mr.. Forbes said.
District Attorney Each reinforced
this testimony by calling August +.
Hanson, a sanitary engineer from Bos-

mittee hired Mr. Hanson TO inspect the
New Bedford plant.

"On approaching the plant | detected
an odor about 400 feet away" he testl-
fed. "But when left | could smell
the plant four miles. It was most

"Tom Jones, one Of the bosses, told
me that occasionally the odor was 80

He also said that the men suffered IN

fertilizer products on cars"
Two small bottles Of waste water

Their testimony was taken.
DR.. Hicks made report on the ex-
animation Of twenty flies taken from
garbage at,the New Bedford plant. HI
assistants found that each fly carried
from 1000 to 5000 bacteria. Until
cultures were made he could not say
whether the germs were dangerous.
Were there many flies at the New
Bedford plant? ?" Mr.. Hanson was asked:
"Yes, there we're flies everywhere

said:
What could be gained by returnirs

is the question every independent yo,sr

"For half a century the stand.co,
orators have been denying that pros

reign of a Republican high protectiv,
tariff. We have prosperity, greater sn(
more widely diffused than ever before
and never again can the stand-psi

fact that we live in an era of abound

is a matter for national rejoicing, hsy.
ing no relation to the tariff question 0.

Nobody to-day dares TO promise /,
restore the old Aldrich schedules. They
were framed by the benefieiaries Of The

Progressives united in opposing tha

The demands of the Third Avenue

Whitridge from Europe led to a request
for a postponement, which was readily
granted by the men. Mr.. Whitridge
