Former keokuk Soldier, Now In Kan.
sas, Declares That "War Is He'll"
utterance Was Not Made
by General.
HIS WORDS TWISTED
General Sherman and Mayor Of Allan.
ia Held Conference in Which
Sherman Described
War.

The statement attributed for years
to Gen. w. T. Sherman that War is
hell was not made by the famous
union commander. according to Major
II. M. kenderdine, former Keokuk
soldier. F. l.. Vandegrift sends clip
ping from The Topeka State journal
In which Major Kenderdine Is quoted
as saying that Sherman did not make
the remark which has been credited
to him. Major Kenderdine went out
/ from Keokuk along with Major Ham
Ill and others. Here is the clipping:
Major H. M. kenderdine OF Ewood,
Kansas, who as youth still in his
teens was made third subsistence
officer of Gen. w. r. Sherman's army
during the famous march through
Georgia, says that the famous saying.
war is hell" attributed to General
Sherman, probably was never uttered
by him.
Major Kenderdine became well ac-
Quainted with General Sherman dur
ing the campaign in Georgia and the
Carolinas, and called on him num-
| Der Of times in st. Louis after the
| war
1t was during one Of these talks
with General Sherman following the
| war that Major kenderdine spoke or
the supposed saying concerning war.
General Sherman did not discuss it,
but Major Kenderdine inferred from
his attitude that he never uttered it.
This practically confirmed the state
ment made by one Of the officers Of
General Sherman's staff to Major
Kenderdine that General Sherman
never uttered the words. They were
supposed to have been uttered on the
occasion OF conference between
General Sherman and the mayor Of
Atlanta, Ga.
! Major kenderdine says what Gener-
al Sherman really said was:
you cannot qualify war in harsher
terms than will. War is cruelty and
you cannot refine it."
| At the conference the mayor OF At
lanta was protesting because General
Sherman had ordered the citizens out
Of the city as he expected to fortify
and hold It, Major kenderdine says
this remark Of General Sherman's was
twisted into the WAR is hell" cpl

CHARGED WITH
KILLING WIFE
Doctor Denies it in Jail, Saying She
Died az Result Of
Narcotic.

MARLINTON, w. Va, Aug. 2S.--
Many unusual features will figure in
the trial of DIR. Oliver A. Howard,
held in connection with the death Of
his wife, Frances Robertson Howard.
Suspicion directed against DR.. How
ard is predicted on the theory that he
killed his wife following quarrel
over womens suffrage. The first
suffrage murder, il this proves cor
rect, will have been brought to light
by the. volunteer work Of several
MarHnton physicians.
Prosecuting Attorney Sharp, 1t de-
veloped today, has evidence gathered
voluntarily by a committee OF ply
sicians who believed there was ground
for investigation following the death
of Mrs. Howard. The physicians ex-
amined the body after it had been
turned over to the local undertakers.
They found nothing to indicate
narcotic had been used by the woman
as her husband had suggested. Nor
at first examination were there any
marks on her throat though as the
undertaken expressed it, the hold
seems to be loose"
One OF the physicians hit upon
novel method of determining the
cause Of this. The skin on the neck
was drawn back, the adipose tissue
distended and electric light reflected
upon it. The result was the reveal
ing Of the print OF thumb and three
fingers as clearly as picture on
screen The conclusion reached by
the physicians was that Mrs. How
ards death had been caused ny the
grip Of powerful right hand on her
- ~.
dislocated the top yertabrae and caus-
ed immediate death.
Various residents Of Marlinton now
tell of DR.. Howard showing them how
easy it would be to choke man to
death. He would illustrate by a grasp
on the neck identical with that which
apparently killed his wife.
Mrs. Towards last suffrage activ.
ity-and her first speech for the
cause-was on the very day she died.
Her husband and she had disputed
on the subject with some bitterness,
1t is declared, that morning. But
Mrs. Howard went to the meeting and
read to the other women present,
President Wilson's letter to the Jane
jefferson club OF Denver, comment
ing briefly upon 1t.
Twenty minutes after her return
home. her husband came in. Within
another ten or fifteen minutes he
ran from the building calling for an
other doctor. He said his wife was
unconscious from some drug and ask
ed for strychnine with which to re-
vive her. He has stuck to the story
concerning a drug. In his cell, ne
denies ever having quarreled with
his wife on the subject of suffrage
or anything else.

the house Of bishops and the house
OF deputies, each having veto upon
the other. It's primary object is to
make laws Tor the Protestant Epis-
copal church. Legislation takes the
form OF canons which are operative
at once, and amendments of the con-
stitution which require action by two
successive conventions. The house
OF bishops fills vacancies in the mis-
sionary episcopate with the con-
currence Of the lower house
In the house OF deputies there are
fourteen standing committees APP
pointed by the president. There are
also ten committees or commissions
Of the house of bishops. In addition
the Joint commissions and committees
OF the two houses number thirty-six.
Among the important subjects now
under consideration by these bodies
are the relation OF the Episcopal
church to other christian commurl-
ions; revision and enrichment of the
prayer book; christian education;
the divorce problem: missionary or
ganization; the election Of bishop
tor negroes in the United States; and
an adequate pension system for the
clergy.
Both houses Of the convention will
meet in the Moolah temple, the ses-
sions of the house OF deputies being
open to the public. For the past few
years there has been a growing agi-
tation against the exclusion of the
press and public from the sessions
Of the house Of bishops. A proposal
to throw open the proceedings was
defeated by a very narrow majority
at the last general convention in New
York, but there is every reason to be-
lieve that 1t will be successful this
wear
