When a coroner's jury Saturday
night returned a verdict to the ef-
feet that Mrs. Carleton did the
shooting, while under the influence
of an overdose of sleeping powders,
the matter appeared closed, but Mrs.
Pyle was not satisfied and started
a further investigation.
Within the past twenty-four hours
it was shown that the bullet which
killed Mrs. Carleton had been fired
downward not directly in or upward
as had been testified at the coroner's
inquest. The husband of the dead
woman, former District Judge Frank
II. Carleton, issued in California a
statement asserting that Mrs. Carle-
ton had confessed to him her love
for Rev. Mr.. Christler and had init
mated that her love was returned.
Mr.. Carleton condemned what he
characterized as an attempt to
<white wash" Mr.. Christler's charac-
ter. Ownership of the pistol used
in the killings is another mystery.
It was no Mrs. Cartoons as far as
is known. Investigation thus far
has failed to disclose that it was
the property of the Christlers. Mrs.
Pyle also has claimed that diamond
rings which Mrs. Carleton was seen
wearing Thursday evening have not
been found and has su55 ested
that If the rings We're taken from
Mrs. Carleton's hand after the shoot
ing the revolver might have been
placed in the open palm at the same
time.
The only story of the shooting told
SO far was hat of Mrs. Christler
said to have been the only other per-
son in the ChristIer home at the
time. She had her back toward
Christler and Mrs. Carleton when
she heard two shots and turned to
see Mrs. Christler, she told the cor
Dner's jury.

FARMERS HEAR
WARNING WORD
ON RADICALISM
J. X. HolUard Tells
Them to Steer Clear
of Tsr77S'.

Columbus, Ohio, Feb. 2.-Radi-
calism will increase in the event of
delayed agricultural economic ad-
justment, J. R. Howard, president
of the American Farm Burau fed
Grafton, declared in an address to-
day at Farmers week, at Ohio State
university here.
THE agricultural conference
called by President Harding last
week, showed at the start a wind
current toward the Farmer Labor
movement" he said
MY mail brings me daily pro
posaIs from all quarters demanding
such expedients as the government
making direct real estate loans to
the farmers at 2 or per cent, by
currency issues, or the refunding
of all Liberty and Victory bonds
with a federal currency" Mr.. How
ard said. Men forget that too
much printing press and too little
intrinsic value is at the seat of
Europe's trouble today, and that
'assignate' helped provoke the
French revolution"
Urges Careful Thought.
'tI want to urge upon you the
necessity for careful thought and
action" he told the farmers gather
ed together to hear him speak. 1T
is we'll to remember that in matters
of business the state is less eff
ofr "
create governments. but govern
mentS can not create men.
Personally" he declared, Il ap-
prove that constructive radicalism
which provokes serious thought
1t spells progress. l will go to the
limit regarding cooperative mark
eting and government supervision
of all public utilities. But ] must
draw the line on an ism that is
destructive and not constructive,
particularly if destructive of that
greatest OF all human agencies
personal initiative.
Cheaper Transportation.
Il declare a growing tendency on
the part, not only of some farmers,
but other men in high places, TO
stress the functioning of govern
ment too much. and of the iadivid-
ual too little.
Two things must happen in the
way of a solution of agriculture'S
ills. Mr.. Howard said-the devel-
opment of new cheaper lines of
transportation and the greater de-
velopment of electricity, so that it
may be applied to the ransporta-
ton fully.
