New York-Viola Kraus, divorced

Miss Kraus denied the story told
by Annie that she threatened to kill

The district attorneys office is not
through, however, investigating the
evidence furnished by Annie Kane.
They will question Mrs. Joseph Will

Miss Annie told Universal Service
miss Wilson was jealous"

clew as to the motive for the crime"
said the assistant district attorney,
when questioned about several others
whose names we're mentioned by An
ME Kane as being friends or asso-

less their stories have some direct

WARNS FOREIGN INTERESTS
Must Not Attempt Interference With
Development of American Mer-
chant Marine.

Notwithstanding foreign int
terests not to attempt interference
with the development of the Ameri-
can merchant marine, Chairman Ben
son Of the shipping board declared
that the board was determined to
build up an American merchant ma
rine as contemplated by the Jones
shipping act, despite threats and
propaganda by such interests to de-
feat the law.
The United States said Admi-
raj Benson, SIS in earnest in its eff
forts to place within the ownership
by United States citizens the control
OF at least part Of its traffic in
imports and exports, II it should
by any possible means be held that
the departments of the government
lack such authority as will insure
their being able TO protect American
interests in such control, additional
authority will be asked by the admin
istration and will undoubtedly be
granted by congress.
Foreign carriers and those in the
United States interested more in for
eign than American institution will
do well to let sleeping dogs"
Admiral Bensons warning was
sounded in talk to representatives of
Pacific coast chambers of commerce
and trade bodies and American rail-
roads who have been disturbed by
threats Of foreign carriers to divert
business from American ports on the
Pacific coast because of the section
of the merchant marine act permit
ting preferential rate over carriers
within the United States on merchaD-
disc moving in export and import in
American vessels.
Such threat, the chairman said. is
futile and idle"

GORGAS DIES AFTER
ILLNESS IN LONDON
FORMER SURGEON GENERAL OF
THE UNITED STATES ARMY
NATIVE OF ALABAMA.
CAREER WAS NOTABLE ONE
Sanitation Leader Drove Dread Yellow
Fever From country-old Haunts
Body Brought to America
on Government Transport

London.-Maj Gen. VIM c. Gorgas,
former surgeon general of the United
States army, died at an early hour.
Gen. Gorgas' death was peaceful, He
was unconscious much of the time for
the last few days, according to the hos
pital attendants, and was not even
able to recognize Mrs. Gorgas or Brig.
Gen. Noble, the only Americans pres
ent at the end.
Col. Kennedy, medical cohsultant at
the hospital, was In constant waiting
on Gen. Gorgas, and every facility was
afforded by the British military au-
thorities for proper medical attention.
1t was stated by Gen Noble that
Bright's disease (nephritisl was the
immediate cause Of death.
Gen. Gorgas had been In critical
condition for the past three weeks,
although at intervals he showed inn
provement and quite recently it was
announced that he might be able to
return home. He went to London pre-
paratory to a mission to West Africa
in behalf of the British government to
investigate sanitary conditions, but
suffered a stroke of apoplexy and was
sent to a hospital for treatment.
Maj. Gen. William G. Gorgas was
considered one of the worlds foremost
authorities on military medicine and
surgery. He fought and defeated the
malarial mosquito in Panama and
thus made possible the building OF
that great waterway. He dislodged
yellow fever from its century-old
stronghold in Havana and under the
direction of the United States gov
eminent and the Rockefeller Founda-
tlon supervised campaigns against
that dread disease in Central America,
Peru and Ecuador.
At the invitation Of the British gov
eminent he went to South Africa in
1918 to establish sanitary conditions
in the Rand, as a result of which he
received high honors from the med
ical profession in London and Oxfor
University conferred a degree upon
him.
In the last 10 years his services
we're sought to give battle to plaques
in many parts Of the world. When
the typhus epidemic began in Servia
in the war an effort was made to have
him undertake the campaign against
1t. but at that time he was needed to
direct the medical and surgical work
for the American army in France.
The body Of Maj, Gen. VIM. 9. Cor.
gas former surgeon general OF the
United States army, will be sent to

There's the democratic ticket chosen
by the national convention after fin
ishing all the work which it was call
ed together to do.
When the balloting on the forty
fourth vote had gotten to a point
where Cox had 7O2 votes and was rap
idly approaching the necessary two
thirds OF 729, Sam B. Amidon, OF Kan
sas, manager of the McAdoo forces
and vice-chairman of the democratic
national committee, took the platform
and moved that the nomination of Gov,
Cox be made unanimous. Immediate
ly there was roar from the tired and
worn delegates, which lasted for a
full four minutes before Chairman
Robinson could put the question on
Amidons motion to suspend the rules
and nominate Cox by reclamation.
Cox was nominated by reclamation
for the presidency, after the forty
fourth ballot in the convention had
demonstrated that he was w4thin
reach Of the two-thirds vote necessary.
When the nomination was made Cox
had 70Sh and 72S were needed. The
Michigan delegation was already on
its feet to switch its 3S votes to Cox,
so even IL the motion to give him the
nomination by reclamation had not
been made he would have had 1921
when the forty.fourth ballot was tai
lied.

ton in the convention after all the
other names placed in nomination for

their respectlve delegations to give

The first cheer for the ticket, Cox
and Roosevelt" was given in the con-
vention at 3:15.

ing his third term in that office. He
