TRAGEDY COVERED
BY DARK MYSTERY
No Definite Clue to Farmhouse Fire
Where Eleven Lost Life-Frag-
ments of Bodies Gathered Up and
Placed in One Coffin for Burial.

Mayiield, KY, June 27.-Mystery
continues to envclop the tragedy in
the farm home of Earnest Lawrence,
near here Saturday night, when eleven
persons were slain and their bodies
practically mcincrated in the dwell
ing, which apparently had been sat
urated with oil.
Only fragments of the bodies were
found in the ruins of the house. They
were placed in one coffin and inferred
in Maplewood Cemetery this after
noon.
Prior to the funeral the fragments
were examined by Sheriff Marion Nc
Cain and Coroner G.. M. Mettit, and
both reported that they were unable
to find bullet wounds or any others
that would determine the cause of the
deaths. An axe and firearms were
found in the embers of the dwelling,
which led the officers to believe that
some of them might have been killed
with the axe and others shot.
Fit of Insanity
Shcrltf Mccain announced late to-
day that he had changed his
theory that Lawrence had developed a
fit of insanity and in a frenzy had
killed his wife, their three children
uha lneii guests, OClS Drew, Mrs.
Drew, her three children and Drew's
brother, Delmar Drew. the indications
are the sheriff said, that Lawrence
saturated the room in which the bodies
were found with oil, touched match
to it and killed himself. Mrs. Law
renee and Mrs. Drew were sisters and
neighbors said, had long been acus-
toned to exchanging visits over the
week end
One report today had it that Law
renee had been roughly handled by
policeman in Mayfeld a number of
years ago, and that in the course of
the struggle had been struck on the
head. Since then, the story ran, Law
renee had suffered from illness period
icallv. which had affected his mind.
Sheriff Mccain said he had been una
Bile to verify it.
Sheriff Mccain said today that he
was puzzled by some features of the
case. He found it difficult to believe
that one man could have attacked ten
persons, at least three of them adults
in full possession Of their faculties,
without some of them escaping.

IN STATE SENATE

During the storm of amendments
which came down on one of the most
amended of the recent bills before the
senate, the reading clerk had troubles
of his own in interpreting the hastily
scrawled amendments which were sent
to his desk by the members of the
organization. Finishing with the last
of them, he was heard to confide to
his assistant that he did wish to Pete
that the state would either provide
each of the senators with a Corona,
or would give the reading clerk a
ouija board.
Senator Docking wants to do the
right thing, and keep in touch with
what is going on in the senate. Today
the reading clerk was droning thru the
Culp bill on terminal warehouses. in
which reference was made to the
charges for placing grain cars in the
unloading docks of the terminal ele-
vators. The word docking" occurred
in a series of other words separated
by commas, and iInpinged on the ear of
the senator from Riley county, who
was busy in conversation in the rear
of the senate chamber. "Aye." shout
ed the senator over his shoulder. and
then retreated to the senate postoffice
to avoid the shouts of laughter which
greeted the astonished glare Of the
reading clerk, who knew, even tho the
solon of the Twenty sixth district did
not that the roll wasn't being called.

RUDOLPH REUTER-

The first number of the Washburn
artists course brought Rudolph Reu-
ter, pianist. to a most enthusiastic
audience. The recital was a distinct
success for Mr.. Reuters playing
aroused unbounded enthusiasm in his
audience and many encores were de-
manded and given.
AS is usual with this artist. the
stereotyped program was avoided and
many interesting novelties including
Dohnanyis Suite Winterreigen, Bor-
owskis Prelude in A flat and Busonis
Christmas Night served to demon
strate the grasp that this ambitious
artist has over music of modern char
acter.
Reuters technique is almost flaw
less. Chords. octaves. and scale pas
sages come from his wrists and fingers
with almost unbelievable clarity and
precision at a tempo that is fairly hair
raising in its speed. With all this
technical brilliancy there is no sacri-
flee of tone and his playing never de-
generates into mere pounding.
His interpretations are characterized
by sane musical grasp of the material
presented, normal. healthy sentiment
and a delicate fancy that makes his
playing appeal to all types of music
lovers. Mr.. Reuter- is surely one of
the elect in the pianistic world today.

would be whether Lands had neglect

j ! Welty read a letter from an attor-
4 ney named Adler, at Chicago, who
claimed that lawyers have come into
: Judge Iandis's court to try cases only
Z to find that 1.-The judge is in New York
attending a baseball meeting"
: Representative Boies, Iowa, asked
Welty if he knew anything about Lam
dis temporarily freeing an Ottawa, HI
bank clerk because he was underpa1d.
IS II think that is a more serious Of
Tense than these charges" said Boies.
y The present system of having q
: baseball organization with Lands at
d its head is based on the League OF

- Copied the Nations League.
Z "The organization is composed OF

1 1.-THE big clubs met and formed the
new league and then invited all the
! little fellows-just like the League of
Z Nations was formed"
? Representative Igoe. Missouri, sug-
gested that Landis's service was only
; that CT counsel.
why did baseball pick out a fed

: resentative Yates. Illinois.
. "And why did they pay him such a
I big salary" asked Representative

IF all federal judges entered into

sour judiciary be?" asked Representa-
Z tive Hustled, New York. THE federal
Judges can't handle all their work and
4 baseball, which is one of the biggest
\ businesses in the country.
(, That's the point said Welty.
Don't you think public opinion will
: force Judge Lands to give up one of
4 the positions?" asked Boies.
4 But the house should do its duty
I and stop the act of Landis," said Welty.
! ST Judge Lands is allowed to hold
1 the two offices. why can't all the JUS
Z tees of the supreme court be employed
= by the packers?"
M Welty Cites Causes.
4 "If the country approves the dual
!. role of Judge Lands, then the house
atwill be called upon to prescribe a new
Standard for our judiciary. because
sto employ home judge, for he is worth

y / do not believe the soul of America

good behavior. Who shall say when
their behavior is not good. The peo-
4 pie cannot remove them. The peoples
only hope is the house of representa-
lives. who, under the government, can
prefer a charge"
, Welty then went into detail and
quoted several other impeachment
3 cases to back up his assertion that a
judge can be removed even if he has
not violated a law directly. Attorney
sGeneral Palmer. in a recent opinion to
siWelty. said Lands has violated no law.

STICK TO TICKET
Bill Would Compel Voters Reg.
lister Party Preference.
Must Declare Faith Before Pri-
mary Election, Says Bill.

Members of minority political par
ties must play in their own yards and
sing in their own apple trees if the
legislature passes a bill which Hasty
of Sedgwick. sent to the house hopper
bill puts an effective patch on a glar-
ing hole in the primary law by COM
polling voters to register their party
affiliations.
Under the present primary system
practically all of the voting is done
in the primary of the majority party.
With no contests, but few Democrats
and Socialists find occasion to go to
the polls on a hot August afternoon
and vote for men and women who will
win whether they vote or not. But it
is lots of fun for the member of a
minority party to help the majority
party select it's candidates.
Encourage Them To Vote.
In several campaigns Republican
candidates have in certain instances
been suspected of encouraging Demo-
Gratis to vote in their primaries. In
other cases Democrats volunteered
their votes. This situation often arose
when there was an opportunity for the
minority party members to help nomi-
nate a weak candidate and elect their
own candidate in November.
Now Hasty would remedy the trou-
BILE. He has bill which provides that
voters shall declare their party faith
when they register Before a primary
election. The bill does not change the
registration or primary laws except
to provide for a party declaration.
Hasty's bill is in the hands of the
house election committee and in view
of frequent criticism of the present
nominating system there is a strong
chance that the bill may become law
at this session.
