Marlinton, W. Va, Aug. q. - The
mystery surrounding the death Of Mrs.
Frances Robertson Howard and the
arrest of her husband on a charge
made by a coroner's jury have led to
the suspicion that the woman is the
first person killed in the cause OF
woman suffrage.
Frances Robertson was head nurse at
the Marlinton Hospital and she came
of a distinguished Virginia family. DR..
Oliver Arnold Howard was a physician
at the hospital, and their marriage was
a hospital romance. A few months
after marriage there were rumors that
they did not agree. Sometimes Mrs
Howard appeared with discolored eye,
but she always explained it as an acci-
dent. She took up civic and club activ-
tiles against the wishes of her hus-
band.
On August Is she attended woman
suffrage meeting, made her "hrst
speech" and returned home apparently
in good spirits.
She was not seen alive again. Wit
nesses say she returned home about
6:2O o'clock, and her husband is said
TO have arrived about twenty minutes
later.
Within ten or fifteen minutes he ran
down the steps of the building calling

An Italian audience in the Grand

opera Lucia di Lammermoor" with a
mob scene, a particular which Cam

book for the piece.
1t will be well, however, for maestros

opera along these new lines to have a

Antonio and the $3.50 had much TO dc
with the new mob scene.

Two hundred Italians were in their

was to raise money for the Italian

that New York scientists should inocu-

blue eyes, thick hair, deeply tanned

boy umpire yesterday afternoon on the

there was a fash of lightning that daz-

and a clap of thunder that shook the
ground.
Joseph Harding, the ten-year-old
batsman, dropped in the midst of his

in Ferris glove when they picked him
up. Harding was killed outright by

; President Wilson also conferred
all afternoon and part of the even
ing with Franklin X. Lane, Secre-
tary of the Interior, one of the Pres
idents closest advisers, and Senator
Newlands, chairman of the Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee.
Little could be learned about that
important meeting, but as a matter
of fact the three discussed two things
in paticular.
One was a plan to keep certain
avenues of commerce open in the
event of a strike and the other was
the question of keeping Congress in
session until the present cisis had
passed.
Employees Act Promptly.
The employees carried out their ul-
timatum on schedule time. Their
meeting this morning resulted in .
! resolution giving the four brother
hood chiefs, Austin B. Gsrretson,
Warren S. Stone, w. G. Lee and w.
S. Carter, power to act for the en-
tire $40 delegates. They are to carry
the negotiations with President Will
son TO a conclusion. The Pesident
communicated with them and re-
ceived that assurance. But the four
union officials have no power to ac-
cept anything that does not concede
to the employees a basic eight-hour
day.
Crisis Expected To-day.
1t would seem tonight that the
country's chances of avoiding a tie
up of all the roads involved-and
that means every great transporta-
tion system from coast to coast-de-
pend on the outcome Of to-morrow's
meeting between the President and
the railroad executives. President
Wilson has an appointment with the
raiload presidents at 10 o'clock.
They intend TO present to him then
their counter proposal for settling
the controversy. Whether he will
let them proceed with that plan Of
action remains to be seen.
The President apparently Is bent
upon exhausting every means at his
command to effect an acceptance by
the roads Of his original proposal
before considering the alternative
plan prepared by the railway execu-
tives. He knows that 1t will not b
acceptable to the unions. Il does
not grant the men the eight-hour
basic day that his proposal conceded
them. 1t would submit the whole
controversy TO arbitration. There
fore it is expected that the Prssi.
dent will ask the roads to delay
