Her Own Life at Her Home
At Manchester.
The Manchester Signal says:

iho Mahchebter oiBnal says
Roy Shamblin visited his mother,
Mrs. Eva Easter-Paris at Manchester
twice after the 2lst OF November, he
did not confide with anyone regarding
any pending trouble. He was shaved
by Henry Edgington but did not lndl-
cate anything unusual in his manner.
Mrs. Paris after having the details
OF the double murder recited to her
at her Front street rooms, collapsed
and later attempted self-destruction
with razor. Friends who interfered
said that she seemed determined and
that her mental condition was pitiful
on account of loss Of sleep after the
awful condition of her son.
All Of Roy Shamblin's home ties are
about Manchester Notwithstanding his
absence from here in recent years
many friends refused to believe his
coofession at the first reading; We'd
nesday Mrs. Paris was with friends at
West Union.

Kenyon Tries to Spike
Coal Profiteers' Guns

Another legislative drive to head
of an anticipated coal shortage
during the coming winter. with its
exorbitant prices and widespread
suffering. was started in the Senate
yesterday bys Senator Kenyon. Re-
publican of Iowa.
Senator Kenyon introduced two
companion bills. The first pro-
vtIes heavy penalties for profiteer-
ing in coal and defines profiteering

decision holding the profiteering
section of the Lever food and fuel
act unconstitutional. 1t also def
nfteiy fixes the margins of profit
that may be charged by operators
and dealers generally.
The second bill. similar to the
Calder bills offered in the Senate a
wear ago. and the Newton bill in
Produced in the House last session,
would establish a comprehensive
Federal regulation of the entire
coal industry.
All Indications. in the Senator's
opinion. now point to another Sc
rious fuel situation during the ap-
