Cincinnati nurse. after she had been held with out bail on a charge of homicide in connection with the shooting of Ellis Guy Kinkead, former corporation counsel of Cincinnati, near his home in Brooklyn yesterday.
 In contrast to Miss Stones vol ability was the brevity of Mrs. Marie Louise Kinkead. who was preparing to take her husbands body tomor- TOW to Covington, Ky, for burial. She only would reiterate her faith in her husband.
 Nervous and trembling after a sleepless night. Miss Stone recovered her composure today when she first was taken to police headquarters for further questioning and then was ar raigned.
 It was while riding in a patrol wagon that she talked most freely. Sketching her acquaintance with Kinkead. she said that she had met him in Cincinnati in 1918. when she nursed him for a nervous breakdown. That he then made love to her-"Oh, he was a very fast worker" was the way she put it.
 That she gave him 5000 to inves. for her, but that she never saw it again.
 That his love waned and she had got him discharged from the faculty of tt.e Cincinnati law school in 1920 after he had refused to marry her.
 That he then nad married Marie Louise Gormley of Covington and disappeared from town.
 That she had sued him for divorce alleging herself to be his common law wife: had been awarded s50oe ali mony. but never had received cent That she had purchased a revolver for her protection. came to New York to effect a reconciliation, had located him and Had laid in wait for him near his home.

 Mir. Heard had made reservation for his sailing from Liverpool or Aug. 24. Mrs. Heard and Mr. and Mrs. Bartlett Heard will continue their European journey and will sai on that date.
 As a vacation, MT. Heard has had a comparatively brief one. Several days were taken up on his arrival in the strenuous work of the world s second cotton conference at Liver pool and Manchester and after that he attended the sessions of the in ternational Rotarian convention al Edinburgh after which he spent 2 few days salmon fishing and visiting points of historic interest in Scotland
 A considerable part of his time abroad has been spent in studying various phases of the cotton spinning
  tries; that is. the finer cotton spin ming industries in which high grades of cotton are used.
 He had especially desired to visit the mills in Czecho- Sloval<ia aftel which he expected to round out his outing with a walking trip through the Italian Alps. He had completed a tour of the more important French and Belgian battlefields and had gone to Switzerland. He was overtaker at Interlaken by cablegrams whici had been forwarded him from Pari. urging his return that he might as sist in the presentation of the cast of long staple cotton to the senate committed. Much as he regretted the abandonment of his vacation pre- maturely he wired that he would holt himself in readiness to return If i was believed that his presence befor' the committee was essential.

LEGISLATURE
 NOT TO MEET;
 REASONS WHY
GOVERNOR CAMPBELL IN LETTER TO TAXPAYERS COMMITTEE CONVEYS SYMPATHY WITH PURPOSE BUT BELIEVES PLAN MPRACTICABI E OFFERS SUG- CESTION FOR INFRINGEMENT IN DEPARTMENTS AND STATE INSTITUTIONS

general willingness to convene in special session with the idea of mak- ing a reduction in the present tax budget if such could be done without materially interfering with the prog ress of the state composite of their letters would read about as fol- lows:
 .ss. have been impressed with the great need for economy and believe that some reductions could be made in the appropriations for various state departments and institutions. but I am not in favor of interfering with our schools. crippling our edu-' cational institutions or curtailing the permanent highway construction of the state. To my mind there exists sufficiently substantial saving would be made if the legislature were called in special session for the purpose out lined.'

There have also been available for my examination the re- plies to my requests for a frank and
 earnest expression as to the condi- tions existing in the various depart ments at this time.
 Reductions That Might Be Made I In my opinion the reductions which can be made without materially af-
 fecting the welfare of the state al this time are as follows:
 Reductions in departmental
 expenditures for salaries,
 wages and contingent ex- sl penses $100, 3Ol
 Reductions in 45 various

There will be no special session of the Fifth legislature as requested of the governor by the Nogales tax payers conference committee. the governor declining to issue the call for the reasons set out in a reply by hum yesterday to Chairman John R. Norton of fha~ committee.s In his let ter the Euvernor signifies his sym Pfthy with the purpose of the com 1lt1ftee to reduce the burden of tax payers and he believes that as much as a half million dollars might be eliminated from the present appro- priations without serious interference with efficiency. He disagrees. with the committee. a s to the proposed re- auctions of the school funds.
 The governors reason for declining to issue the call is that he sees no possibility of prompt and favorable action by the legislature.

And to that end he will call con- ference of them that they may be impressed with the responsibi1ity that Tests upon them for the making of |. this saving.
 @ In his letter Governor Campbell ac- knowledges the receipt of the re- 4uest from the taxpayers committee, and referring to the specific reduc- tions proposed by the committee, the governors says:
 1n consonance with my statements before the conference of taxpayers a, Nogales on July 26th, immediately upon receipt of the detailed memo A.x~~ q ~1-9 <I- delivered to me on the morning oi July 29, I forwarded copies of ths tions therein contained to the various executive officers heads of departments and state in stitutions, requesting them to advis' me whether the reductions recon mepded in their respective depart ments and institutions could be made having in mind the exigencics offth' existing situation, and indicating m. desire for an early reply.
