The our adjourned for the after
noon just after this stage in Gum
mer's testimony had been reached.
Clothes Were Clean. ,
One important point brought out in
Gummer's testimony this afternoon
was his allegation that at the time he
accompanied the police in. their
! search Of the Prescott hotel on the
! day of the discovery of the murder
he: had not removed any of the cloth
ing he had worn the night before with
the possible exception of a brown
sweater, which he might or might
not have been wearing.
Furthermore he said that when he
went to the police station on the fol-
lowing night and stripped to his un-
derclOthing for some measurements
which were being taken aof him, he
still wore the same .underclothing he
was wearing on the might of the
murder.
Few Questions. Remain.
Accepting these statements at their
face value sthey- would indicate that
there were no blood stains on any OF
his clothing, although some such
stains must undoubtedly have been
made on h murderer's clothing.
1t was understood when the. ;court
adjourned this afternoon that. only
few questions remained: to be asked
on the direct examination Thursday
morning, and that the cross examina.
ton would then begin. This. is ex.
pected to be of a grilling character.

spection tour in the West.

yer declined to make any statement
regarding a situation which has
been said in some quarters to in
volve the determination OF Internal
Revenue Commissioner Blair to
shift. denote or oust as many Do

in the West he received word Of
the elimination of A. ID. Sumner,
chief Of the accounts unit, and Ma.

"If this is a personal matter,

not the removals were personal
matters" with. Commissioner Blair,
Secretary Dover will probably es-
tablish to his own satisfaction with
in a few days.
While Secretary Mellon has been
inclined to view the Sumner and
Childs ousting as a closed incident,

attitude assumed while the official
who appointed the two men was
absent from the city. Reports Of
personal disagreements over pat

trict Health Department today.
The toll to date Is forty-three III
and one dead.
The number Of cases has gradually
increased since the night of the sup.
per, and today nearly 10 per cent OF
the persons who attended the supper
have been reported sick with typhoid.

cause for the sickness" said DR.. Will
liam c. Fowler, District health Off.
Ger. today. I'm a few days l will
have a statement to make"
According to information received
today. the department has narrowed
it's investigation down to two things,
first, the milk served at the supper;
and, second, the possibility that a
typhoid carrier" acted as a waitress.
It could not be learned which of
these DR.. Fowler has determined Is
the cause of the illness.
The investigation of the health de-
partment was handicapped in that
the inquiry did not get under way
until several weeks after the supper.
Therefore, II was impossible for
health officials to obtain samples of
food served.
DIR. James Cummings, assistant
health officer, has been personally
directing the Investigation.
