not only declares that her husband was
no suicide but she says that the old
pistol with which her husband was
killed did not belong to him.
The fact that nothing on Attorney
<Shirk's person was found to have been
disturbed, caused suspicion to-day to
turn from robbery that Mr.. Shirk in
his long years of active practice at the
bar as a criminal and more particu-
larly as a corporation lawyer had
made bitter enemies and it is known
that he had received threatening let

Following funeral services yesterday
afternoon. burial of the body was de-
layed for several hours, and then, af-
ter the funeral party had left the
grave, the autopsy was performed by
Doctor Gingrch and Dr.. Hester Buch-

the dead man.
1t confirmed the fears of Doctor
Gingrich by disclosing two bullets in
the brain, the point of entrance of both,
Immediately behind the right ear, being
so close as to have the appearance of
one wound. One bullet badly fractured
the skull and, taking a downward
course, lodged at the base of the brain.
while the other. passing clear through
the brain. lodged against the skull
above the left temple.
Either bullet should have caused in

It's Easy-H You Know DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to
feel young-to do this you must watch
your liver and bowels-there's no need
of having a sallow complexion-dark
rings under your eyes-pimples-a bill
ious look in your face-dull eyes with
no sparkle. Your doctor will tell YOU
ninety per cent of all sickness comes
from inactive bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, a we1l-known physician
in Ohio, perfected a vegetable COM
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub
stitute for calomel, are gentle in their
action, yet always effective. They bring
about that exuberance of spirit, that
natural buoyancy which should be en-
joyed by everyone, by toning up the liver
and clearing the system of impurities.

ARGUE COURTS
JURISDICTION
IN COAL CASES
Lengthy Discussion on Where
Railroad Tax Appeals
Should Be Heard

Whether appeals on the railroad
coal tax rates, pending since January,
1915, will be heard in the Dauphin
county courts or in the Superior Court,
resulted in a lengthy discussion this
morning in Dauphin county court
when the question was brought up for
argument.
Prior to 1915 when an amendment
was passed to public service acts, the
jurisdiction to hear appeals from rul-
ings of the commission was vested in
Dauphin county courts. An amend
ment passed in 1915, after appeals
had been made in the coal tax cases,
changed this law, stipulating that all
appeals shall be heard in the Superior
Court.
The entire question centered on the
point that no specific provision had
been made for pending appeals. Spe-
cial Counsel William n. Trinkle, act
ing for Attorney General Brown, con-
tended that Dauphin county courts
have the right to hear the appeals
which were pending before the amend
ment was enacted.
Six Appeals Filed
The railroads involved are the Penn
sylvania, the Philadelphia and Read
ing, Central Railroad of New Jersey
Lehigh Valley, the Delaware, Lacka-
wanna and Western. Each has filed
separate appeals, and a sixth one is
made jointly by all the roads. An
swers were filed by Attorney Trinkle,
about a month ago, together with a
petition for quick action on the cases.
In the appeals of the railroads it is
claimed the reduction in the coal tax
rates as ordered by the commission, is
excessive and not in accordance with
testimony presented.
The rates charged by the railroads
which Philadelphia appellants de-
clared were unfair were approximate
ly S1.40 to $1.70 per ton, the difference
being on steam and prepared sizes of
coal. The initial suit was filed in De-
cember, 1913, before the State Rail-
road Commission. This has been abol-
ished and authority transferred to the
Public Service Commission.
No decision was given to-day by the
Dauphin county court. In the argu-
ment of the. case President Judge
George Kunkel called the attention of
attorneys for the railroad companies
to the fact that they were notified of
the amendment of 1915.
