Held Yesterday Morning Fails to
Find Who Is Responsible For the
Death Of the Late John
A Crosby.

An investigation into the cause of
the death of the late John A. Crosby
was conducted yesterday morning by
Coroner Charles Slack before a jury
in the Police Court room. The evil
dence in the case as given by DR..
Irvine Berry and Mr.. and Mrs. W. f.
thomas was practically the same as
aas before been published in the
Ledger. After hearing the testimony
Of the three witnesses, the jury re-
turned the following verdict:
Maysville, Mason County, Kentucky,
November IA, 1917
We, the jury summoned by the
Coroner to inquire into the cause and
manner of the death of John A..
Crosby, after hearing the evidence
find that the said John A. Crosby
came to his death October 81, 1917,
at his home in Hilltop Precinct, Ma
son county, Kentucky, from the effect
of arsenic poison, but we are unable
from the evidence to decide how said
Crosby secured said poison or who
administered same, if it was done by
outside parties.

evidence against him. The negro has
very weak mind and it is thought
he will have to be placed in some
institution.

Remarkable Bread Baking.

What, we wonder, was the ultimate
result of an experiment made II
Marylebone, England, in April, 1854
Two Frenchmen affirmed their abilit,
to produce $50 four-pound loaves from
a sack of flour. which at that time pro
duced only so to 100 loaves. The
Marylebone guardians lent their bak
cry for a trial. The bread was tt
bear chemical tests, and to contain
nothing prejudicial to health, but thu
process by which it was made was re
remain the secret of the two French
men, who offered demonstration Of
their skill. The experiment was de
clared at the time to be perfectly sue
cessful. Two sacks Of -four, under
seal, were issued by the workhouse au,
thorities. One was worked up by Eng
lish bakers, and produced 80 leaves
weighing 800 pounds; the other was
worked up by the French bakers, and
yielded 1874 loaves. weighing SIC
pounds. Several scientific men were
present, to ''see fair" but not, as may
be guessed, to penetrate the mystery
of the French bakers.

Health Of First Importance.

Exuberant health Is better than
riches and power to man; indeed 1t
often leads to their attainment. In
fact nothing is of greater Importance,
and there are few things regarding
which we know less practically speak
ing. Quackery, usage and superstition
have made us suspicious Of health
talks and health-giving nostrums. Such
vagueness surrounds the whole subject
that you will hardly find two persons
TO agree upon the general rules gov
erning physical health.

What Can a Boy Dc7

The industrial manager has failed
often to recognize that the most diff
cult Of all educational problems is to
find out what boy is fitted for. If
the college could be sure of the boys
capabilities, and if there could be any
assurance that the requirements Of the
Industrial field would be permanent,
specialized instruction could be great
ly extended. So long. however, as our
knowledge of human beings remains as
limited as it is at present, and so long
as Industrial conditions remain as
Kaleidoscope as they are, the college
owes it to its students to see that their
training is such that, should they find
themselves out of position either be-
cause Of inaptitude in one line or be-
cause of changed industrial conditions,
they will have an educational founda-
ton broad enough to build upon anew.

BOGUS DIVORCE DECREE
EXPERT WORKED HERE?
PAPER Submitted to Circuit Clerk
Reeves Shows Judge ElliOtt's
Name Used by Crook.

That w. H. White, negro atenog'
rapher if Little Rock, and some OF
his confederates, accused OF gl-
gantic conspiracy for the issuance oil
bogus divorce DEGREES, operated to
some extent in jefferson county be-
came apparent yesterday when the
prosecuting attorney Of an adjacent
county sought information here con-
corning a divorce case. Chief Dep
uty Circuit Clerk Sam F. Vaulx locke !
thru the redords, and then certified to
the fact that no such decree had been
issued.
The instrument submitted to MI
Vaulx purported to be decree, sign
ed by Judge John NJ. Elliott. Judge
Elliott's name was typed in, and only
only the initials were used. This in
itself would show forgery, because the
cEancellor's signature is John NJ. Ell
lott
White, who is believed to have had
agents in all counties where there are
negroes, has also been charged al
Little Rock with perjury in conneq
ton with testimony given at the pre-
liminary hearing of J. B. Conner, an
alleged confederate.
The authorities suspect that hun
dres of the bogus ecrees of divorce
have been issued, and it is probable
that many of those who have received
them have remarked, and thus until.
tentionally committed bigamy, peni-
tertiary offense.

Caldwell Against Hospital.
Just before noon the Caruth. Emory
Ruff and Utley bill providing for the
sale of considerable state property
in Little Rock. and using $20O,ooN
from the proceeds to erect general
state hospital. was called up. Sen
ators Ruff, Carruth. and Brown led
the fight for the bill in committee
OF the whole. and Senator Caldwell
opposed it. He stated that his oppo'
sition was due to the fact that the
hospital was not needed. the state
could not affard it, and that if it was
established it would be an endless ex-
pense to the state. Senator Brown
answered the argument of Senator
Caldwell. as to the state not HAVING
the money to maintain the hospital by
declaring that if his bill was passed
requiring taxation at full valuation
there would be no question of finance
Senator Brown created qite bit OF
amusement in his speech by saying
that if the same fate befell property
owners who make false affidavit TO
the value of their property as did
Annanias and Sapphiriah, the papers
would be full of obituaries of promin-
ent citizens tomorrow.

folks they can't trust. That business

is due largely to guarantees, some Of
which assure you Of satisfaction or

continued service and free repairs:
while others give a free trial till you

Says Militia Not For
Use Against Strikers

The order made by the governor or
ganizing the unorganized militia Of the
state, it is claimed by him, has no CON
neetion with the strikes at Oregon City
or elsewhere. This may be, but at the
same time it is noticed that the gov
ernor's assertion that he would protect
the strike breakers at Oregon City was
followed promptly by the organizing Of
the militia. Besides, unless he has some
military force behind him he might have
trouble IN carrying out his proposed pro-
gram. This leads many to the opinion
the governor is trying his hand at
samouflage. Sometime ago the employ
