Lack of unanimity upon various

WOMEN WITH, HOME
Is MOST IN DEMAND,
PARIS PAPER FINDS
tBy The Associnied Press.i

Paris, Oct. 1.-THE woman with
an apartment, preferably fur
nished one, is most in demand as
a fiancee, says the Excelsior in its
account of an interview with the
manageress of a Paris matrimonial
agency characterized as one of the
better sort. The war widow, IL
young and agreeable, remarries
much more easily than a young
girl making her first venture on
matrimonial seas.
A physician between the ages of
80 and 40. well educated and Of
good physique, was called the first
prize among men. Parents de-
'manded engineers, architects, pro-
fessors or lawyers for their
daughters husbands. while the
girls themselves, wished above all
for an artist but the cupid broker
reported this homo genius as ex-
tremely rare.
The fortunes offered with the
French women varied from $4,000
to 250,000 francs. The directories
proudly stated that she had ar
ranged a marriage between an en-
gineer and a country girl where
the bride brought 100000 francs to
her husband.
Daughters OF rich peasants who
have retired and wish to live in
town formed the largest clientele
of the bureau, in which the wom-
en- applicants outnumbered the
men two or three to one.

Washington, Oct. Practical
completion OF majority report
on permanent measures for the bet
terment of business throughout the
country was effected today by the
manufacturers committee of the
national conference on llemploy-
ment. Whether a minority report
will be submitted to the full con-
ference when it re-assembles Tues
day was not disclosed.
On the question of business re
adjustment, the majority of the
committee was understood to hold
the view that re-adjustment of
wages and prices downwards was
a necessary precedent to a COM
mercial re-adjustmento out of which
a revival OF the nations industry
could spring. In connection with
the re-adjustment process the re-
port was understood to favor lower
freight rates to permit of O greater
flow of commerce.

POISON TALE IS
RELATED DURING
S0UTHARD TRIAL
tBy The Associated Press.)

Twin Falls. Ida, Oct. THAT
the body of Edward F. Meyer con-
tanned more than enough poison to
cause death, was the statement on
the witness stand of Edward F..
Rodenbaugh, state chemist of
Boise, in the case of Lydia Meyer
Southard, charged with the mur-
der by poisoning of her former
husband, Meyer.
The statement by the witness
was based upon his analysis of
specimens taken from various or
gans of the Meyer body during a
postmortem examination made
the day following the death of
Meyer, September 7, last year, and
came as the sequel to long hours
OF quiet but gruelling oss-exam-
ination of witnesses as a part of
the routine of the state to estab-
lish the chain of circumstances by
which 1t is hoped to prove the de-
fendant's guilt.
DR.. Rodenbaugh declared half
grain or upward to constitute
lethal or deadly dose of those par
ticular poisons and the amount
contained in Meyers entire body,
based upon the results of the
analysis and accepting the theory
OF an even distribution of the
poison throughout the system,
would be 9.S grains.
The defendant sat rnmoved
throughout the testimony of DIR.
Rodenbaugh and gave no evidence
of any unusual strain and anxiety.
The court room was filled to over
flowing much Of the day, many re-
fusing to leave their seats even
during the noon recess. Most OF
the spectators were women and
girls.

Washington, Oct. IA resolu-

merce commission to order 25
per cent reduction in freight rates
on grain, grain products, livestock,
coal, hay and cotton, was intro

The resolution declared that
freight rates were so high produc-

lance and the coronerS jury came
to this Cit to be present at the
autopsy.
Suicide Theory Secuted.
From the first, the suicide theory
was secuted by large number Of
persons at Peralta, including Sher-
iff Joseph +. Tondre.
The examination, which was con-
Quoted by DR.. j. +. Pearce, assist
ed by DR.. w. +. Wittwer, of Los
Lunas, member of the jury, and
only added to the mystery as to the
'qils the death.
The body showed a very small
hole in the back, just to the right
of the spine and slightly above the
waist line. \ large jagged l.cle
was founl at the front of the chest
in the region os the heart
Silk pajamas worn by Mr.. KEN
penich at the time of his death
showed a small hole in the back
and large hole in the front. The
inside of the front &C the pajamas
was stiff with bits of flesh and
blood clots.
For some time the suicide or
murder theory rested, in the minds
of the officials, jury and the few
spectators, on whether the bullet
had penetrated from the front or
the back. Many experts on this
subject, including Dr. Wittwer,
formed the deduction that the bull
let had entered the small hole in
the back and crashed through the
front.
DR.. Pierce later arrived and
probed both holes. He stated that
the bullet had entered from the
fro-t. This was questioned by
DR.. Wittwer and after more hard
probing with his finger, DR.. Pierce
decided to open the wound at DR..
Wittwer's suggestion. One OF the
splintered ribs showed the splin-
ters pointing inward. 1t was sug-
gested by some of the witnesses
that this direction might have
been caused by the probing.
Examination of the revolver,
which had been found under Mr..
Kempenich's right hand as he lay
a.. his back on the floor. en-
shrouded the case with more mys-
terry.
Revolver Adds to Mystery.
The revolver was cooked with
grease on the end and at least a
dozen black hairs were wedged
between the gun barrel and the
ejector rod chamber The grease
at the end of the barrel was
slightly dirty, conveying the i'm
preston that it had accumulated
dust. The inside of the barrel car
ried no gun powder, but. before
handled very much, appeared to
be dusty.
Two chambers of the gun were
empty and an exploded shell was
under the hammer. There was no
smell Of burned powder about the
gun.
"Mr. Kempenich always kept
this revolver in a drawer at his
store" Demetro Jaramillo, his
clerk stated. But about three
weeks ago he took it to his bed
room"

New York, oct. Z (by the Asso-
ciated ss)-The Giants aWoke
from their two Gays of lethargy
today and sprinkled the green
sward at the Rolo grounds with
such a shower of hits that the
Yankees were swamped under a
score of 13 to 5, in the third game
of the world series.
The National leagCers had gone
runless for twenty innings up TO
the third session of this after
moons struggle. Then the out
break of hitting started.
Stealing the Yankees thunder,
as the latte had stolen theirs in
the previous gamer of the series in
speed and daring on the bases,
John McGraw's men, after spot
ting their American league oppon-
ents to a four run lead, promptly
cancelled this advantage, driving
Bob Shawkey, who had started for
Miller Higgins team, off the
mound in the third inning. Then,
after the score had run along in
a tie +or three more innings, they
broke out with an orgy of hitting
against second string Yankee
pitchers, in the traditional lucky
seventh" inning, putting over eight
runs in this chapter and piling up
a total of thirteen runs and twen-
ty hits in their eight innings at the
bat.
Despite its one-sidedness, the
game was OF the sort that tickles
the fancy of the average baseball
crowd, and todays throng, despite
tho partisan leanings of goodly
portion of it, was no exception.
The game was full of thrills, brill
liant catches, daring base running,
and, on the Giants side, long dis
tance hitting. :.
The crowd with perfect baseball
weather to bring it out, was rec
ord breaker for this series. More
than $4,000 fans jammed the
stands and bleachers. They broke
the series record for noise and en-
thusiasm as well. The turn of the
Yankee adherents came first, but
the hubbub they kicked up was as
nothing to that let loose by the
Giant fans when the opportunity
arrived.
