Miss Lawes fired pointblank at Miss
Hannah. The range was so close that
the powder fame singed the latter's
sleeve, but the bullet missed vital
spot.
Miss Hannah ran into the street
screaming and Boland followed her. She
fell to the sidewalk a few doors awav.
and as she fell there was another shot.
1t was not fired at her, however. Miss
Lawes had placed the muzzle of her
weapon against her temple and pulled
the trigger.

ran down the street, firing his revolver
to call any other policemen within

He found Miss Lawes still breathing,
the revolver clasped in her hand, and
carried her to an automobile, which
took her to the Long Island College
Hospital She died in the operating
room, the pistol still in her hand. Miss
Hannah was taken to the hospital in
another car.

had dined at home last night, having
for her guest Dorothy Gottschalk, of IS
Schermerhorn Street, Brooklyn, and
had gone to Miss Gottschalk's home
with her about IL p. m. Her daughter,
she ssid, knew Miss Lawes, but only
slightly.

Mrs. Harding's Bull Pup
Sent Back to Minors
Oh Boy Failed to Make a Hit
in White House League in
Six Weeks Trv.Out

From The Tri6unes Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.- Laddie
Boy reigns supreme at the White
House. The Presidents Airedale is the
only dog at the Executive Mansion
since Oh Boy was sent back to the
minors.
Oh Boy is thoroughbred English
bull pup sent to the President by an
admirer about six weeks ago. 1t was
at first feared that the newcomer would
supplant Laddie Boy in the Presidents
affections, but such fears proved
groundless. Oh Boy was taken in hand
by the master of hounds, Wilson Jack
son, who set about teaching him how a
White House dog should behave.
But Oh Boy has been found wanting
He didn't snap into it quickly enough.
and was found to be not sufficiently
matured to appreciate romping about
the White House. Accordingly he has
been sent away for further seasoning.
If he makes good he will come back
and be reinstated as Mrs. Harding's
pet. But he must go out and get a
reputation before he again may com
pete with Laddie Boy, the first dog Of
the land.

CLAIM RATE REDUCTION
 FAILS TO STIMULATE
 MOVEMENTS OF GRAIN
By Associated Press

Washington, Augaist 29---Assertions by grain men that reductions in freight rates on grain and hay would stimulate movement in that traffic have not been borne out by recent rate reduction experiences of the Union Pacific, L. T. Wilcox, assistant traffic manager of that road testi- fled today before the interstate com merce commission. Cuts In freight rates on lumber and hay resulted in no increase in the movement of those commodities, he said. f4
 We have transportation to sell" the witness said at a hearing to con- sider grain and hay rate reductions, but no matter what we get for 1t, we can make no showing if we can't sell it."
 Mir. Wilcox presented data to show that grain and grain products. were moving freely over the Union Pa cific but that the movement of other connections had decreased to a con siderable extent. The road was los- ing about s250,0o0 annually, he said, adding that a reduction of 25 per cent on grain rates would reduce the revenues of the line by s4,78l,366.
 Freight rates cannot be kept on the scale of the market price of commo- . dities as suggested by counsel for one of the grain states, the witness said. contending that an effort to do so would result in constant fluctua- tion in rates
 F., J. Mccarthy, representing the Missouri Pacific told the commission that proposed reduction of 25 per cent would cut the revenues of that road $2,5oo,oo0 year.

And Others.

The new road project has just been

has just been opened up extending
from Delta, south as far as Spring

The building of this road was
made very easy for the town of Ma

of-way was donated as was also the
survey. The survey was expensive
on account of the contour of the
country through which the road
runs, as many detonrs had to be
made to avoid hills and hollows. One
bridge was built and 500 of the cost
was borne by individuals and all of
the clearing was donated, while the
money for the building of the road
was furnished and the town Of Ma
son was given four years in which
to pay the cost, without interest.
The road opens up territory
which is now opening up to settle

important road.
