SIDE ISSUE REVEALED
IN PECK MURDER CASE
Man Who Sent Telegram Is Being
Sought by the Prose-
cution.

NEW YORK, April "a side issue OF
the main crime today occupied the at
tention OF members of the district at
torney's staff who are investigating
the Peck murder case. DR.. Arthur War
rem Waite has revealed almost every
detail of how he planned to murder
his father-in-law and his mother-in-
law, Mrs. Peck. and last night he ad-
mitted, according to his attorney, that
he intended also to kill his wife to
remove the last obstacle between him
and the Peck fortune.
But Dr. Waite apparently does not know
what became of part of the $4,000 which
he gave to Eugene Q. Kane to induce
Kane to testify that he used arsenic in
embalming Mr.. Peck's body. This is The
point the district attorney now is anxious
to settle.
Waite's Illness Defers Arrangement.
Kane. the embalmer, underwent an
other examination today. Hitherto he
had not explained why. when he sur
rendered to the authorities the money
Waite gave him as a bride, it totaled
only $500. The detectives believe
that the telegram signed. ~. Adams"
which first aroused the suspicious of
the Peck family in Grand pids. has
an important bearing upon this mys-
terry.
A description of the man who sent
this telegram has been obtained, and it
was said that another arrest might fol-
low today
Dr. Waite was not we'll enough this
morning to undergo the ordeal of ar
raignment to plead to the indictment
charging him with murder.

LIGHT VOTE IS BEING
RECORDED IN MICHIGAN
First Presidential Preferential Pri.
maries 0n-Local Option
Struggle Ends.

DETROIT, April 3.-Reports received in
Detroit early this afternoon from various
districts forecast a light vote at Michi-
gan's first presidential preferential pri-
mary. Interest seemed to be centered in
warm democratic fight for national
committeeman between E. o. Wood of
Flint. the present committeeman, and
William A. Comstock of A1pena. There
were several municipal elections with
mayoralty contests. including those at
Grand Rapids and Lansing.
Voting in detroit was extremely light
this forenoon Weather conditions were
almost perfect.
The only contest for the presidential
nomination was in the republican
party. United States Senator William
Alden Smith of Grand Rapids. Henry
Ford of Detroit and William G. Simp-
son of Detroit were the candidates.
Woodrow Wilson was the democrats
choice. The national progessives did
not offer a candidate.
Bitter Local Option Struggle.
A bitter struggle waged in Michigan
for weeks between wet" and dry"
forces reached it's climax today when
voters in thirteen counties cast their
ballots at local option elections. Many
of these counties were storm centers
over the prohibition issue at previous
elections.
OF the counties voting Ingham. Ros-
common, Wexford and Mecosta are now
without saloons; jackson, Lake, Oge-
NAV, Manistee. Glare. Iosco, School
craft. Delta and Baraga are in the
wet" column. In 1914, Ingham county,
which contains Lansing, the state capi-
tai, went dry by a majority of 1.10s.
Jackson, voted wet by q majority of
more than 1000 Much of the interest
in the election today conferred in the
fight in these counties.

children Of Mr.. and Mrs. Jack Ballew
were burned to death in a fire which
destroyed the Ballew home at five
o'clock Saturday afternoon. Both of
the children were girls, one aged five
months, and the other three years.
The mother was at the home of a
uc,ghbor, when the fire started, and all
possibility Of saving the children was
passed by the time the blaze was dis
covered.
The residence was a frame struc-
ture on the edge of the city and burned
rapidly under the pressure OF a high
wind, which whipped the flames until
the fire department found it almost
impossible to bring the blaze under
control. The origin of the fire is un-
known.

FOR EYE SUFFERERS.

A Trachoma hospital for Pikeville is
now an assured fact. The Hatcher
property, opposite the Williamson ho-
tel. on Main-st., has been secured for
the hospital purposes, and will be a
most excellent location for this much
needed institution.
Surgeon John McMullen and Miss
Hicks were here and it was definitely
decided to open the hospital the first
Tuesday in October.
