Pittinger, held here with Arthur VIII
son on the charge of killing her hus-
band, William H. Pittinger. told Of
numerous domestic 'quarrels today.
Her husband, Mrs. Pittinger said. had
often threatened to Kill her and at
times she became alarmed Al his at
titude toward her.
The morning that he killed him
self she stated he had quarreled with
her in a violent manner and again
threatened to put her out Of the way.
For fear that he would carry out his
threat, she said, she went to the VIII
son home about a quarter OF a mile
away. In short time he appeared at
the Wilson's and resumed the quarrel
THE last saw Of him." she said, was
when he crawled through the bars Of
a fence in the direction Of home"
Mrs. Pittinger is a good-lOoking
woman, large and Of quiet demeanor.
She is a daughter of Samuel Clingan

principal actors in the tragedy. 1t is

persons may be implicated. Under
the most strenuous questioning both
Wilson and Mrs. Pittinger stood firm
| that they had nothing to do with the
murder. Neither have been informed
/ of the second post norton examina-
ton of the body which revealed a
crushed skull and which DR.. John

CLEVELANDERS UNDER
NOURISHED AS RESULT
OF HIGH FOOD COSTS

Cleveland, o., Aug. 19.-According
to Commissioner of Health Rock
wood, Clevelanders who are forced to
eat at average priced restaurants
must spend at least $2.04 a day for
meals in order to be properly nour-
ished
lockwood, who is making a study
of the high cost of living in relation
to public health, declared that this
sum was based on eating 5000 calor-
les of food daily. Food experts say
this is the smallest amount that will
keep the average man or woman in
good health. Persons engaged in
hard, manual labor require more.
"I have compared the food values
of various articles with prices charg
ed by an average-priced, downtown
restaurant and find it would cost
$204 to purchase three meals con,
tanning 5000 calories," said Rock
wood. Then went to a restaurant
for three meals and ordered items
that make food value of 5000 cal
ories. The checks came to $1.95.
Formerly it was estimated that one
fourth of the income should be spent
for food. 1t this were followed today
the patron of the average priced res
taurant-and there are thousands in
Cleveland-would have to earn So a
day. They are not doing it.
"This means that there are thou
sands who are under-nourished and
the heath of the city ds bound to
suffer-"

Praters administration of the lant

which has accumulated in the com

probability, to meet any demand:

It is the second expedition Of its

In it's diplomatic aspects it is an ex.

as its sole purpose under international
law is not to invade the sovereignty
Of Mexico nor to attack its government,
but to punish or exterminate the
