Rt. Rev. Frank r. Millspaugh
Sinking at His Home Here.
Head of Kansas Diocese Has
Been Ill Many Months.

Bishop Frank R. Millspaugh lies low
from an attack of heart failure. He
has lived to glimpse the goal of his
aspirations as bishop of the Kansas
diocese of the Episcopal church, which
was the completion of the new Grace
cathedral, begun five years ago.
MY one ambition is to see the new
Grace cathedral completed as soon as
possible he sometimes has said.
when the building is finished, and it's
doors swung open for services. l will
feel satisfied. 1 will know something
of Importance has been accomplished
under my episcopate."
Bishop Millspaugh almost a pioneer
in the Kansas church world, came to
Topeka directly from a pastorate in
st. Paul in 1894. He was made dean
of Grace cathedral. Eighteen months
later he was consecrated bishop and
placed in charge of the Kansas diocese.
Shortly following his conservation,
the Kansas diocese was split into two
parts-the Kansas diocese and the Sa-
lima diocese. Bishop Millspaugh re-
tanned charge of the eastern division.
Frank R. Millspaugh was born in
Nichols, N. Y. April Il, 1S4S. His
early education was received in the
parish school at Shattuck hall and in
the Seabury Divinity school. He was
made deacon in the Protestant Epis-
copal church in 1873, and ordained as
a priest in 1874. He was a mission
airy for three years in Minnesota, was
for ten years dean of the Omaha
cathedral and president of the stand
ing committee of the diocese of Ne
braska, and was for seven years rec
tor of St. Paufs church, Minneapolis,
MINI. During ali his stay in Topeka,
he has held the presidency of the
college of the Sisters of Bethany
The building up of the present high
state of efficiency of the Episcopal
church in the state has been due
largely to his activity. Aside from be-
ing recognized as a great executive,
he is known as one of the most pro-
found students of the Bible and as
predominating influence for good.

WRANGLE FOR q HOURS
Has Wife Right to Kill to Pro.
tect From Brutality?
Defendant Had Prepared to
Celebrate Acquittal.

Newark. n. J., Oct. 2s.-After twen-
ty-two hours of deliberatior- the jury
that sat in judgment in tn. case of
Mrs. Margaret Clairr Beutinger,
charged with the murder of her
wealthy husband, Christopher Beutin-
ger; this afternoon reported it's utter
inability to agree, and was dis
charged
The little woman defendant went
into Mysteries when she was brought
into the court room and saw the jur-
ors lined up before the Judge She
seemed to sense instantly the failure
to reach a verdict of acquittal and
sobbed and shrieked wildly as the
court thanked the jurors and ordered
Jury Fought and WrangIed.
Mrs. Beutinger, a dark eyed 2S year
old. Caldwell, n. j.. matron, shot and
killed her husband in her bedroom
after he had burst in the door and
few days after she returned from a
hospital. She charged that he had
threatened to kill her and told a story
of married life full of unspeakable
cruelties.
When the jury retired at sos yes
terday afternoon. Mrs. Beutinger was
confident of acquittal Thruout the
night the jurors fought and wrangled
over this question: Has a married
woman, the mother of five children.
the right of ownership of her own
body and the right to kill, If neces-
sary to protect it?"
| So certain was Mrs. Beutinger that
she would be freed that she had ar
ranged a party for her five babies -ast
night.
The jury came in at 9:23 this morn

1 for further instructions.
After their discharge this afternoon
it was reported that they stood two
/ for acquittal and ten for conviction
of manslauR hter. carrying with 1t any

ten years Imprisonment.
For one brief moment. as the jury
was dispensing. Mrs. Beutinger at
! tempted to compose herself while she
looked wildly about the courtroom for
her babies. Then she burst out in
fresh shrieks and her cries could be
heard thruout the courthouse as she
was held away by a Jail matron who
| lowered above her
The jury's failure to vote an acquit-
! tai was a great surprise to court at
| tendants. The sympathy of the court
room was unquestionably with the
defendant.
Judge Martin set a new trial for
November 20. Counsel for Mrs. Beu-
finger probably will appear Monday
and ask her release on bail. Persons
accused of murder are seldom freed
| on bail in New Jersey but they have

a sixth grade pupil in the public
schools here, drew his iackknife and
deliberately stabbed Clarence Lavon-

The police have not taken any action
because of the youth of the boys. 1t
is said that the lads had had no dis

wound over Lavonche's heart and an
ether in his arm are the result of
Gavin's distorted ideas of play. La.
