IS CERTAIN HIS YOUNG WIFE TOOK OWN LIFE
1t Still Looks
Like Murder

Ardent advocates of suicide theory in death Of Mrs
Mcpherson kindly nvited to offer satisfactory ca
plantions of the folowmg puzzling questions:
I. Would a woman, attempting to strangle herself,
tie pajama string knot at back of neck choke her.
self and then tie second knot at front OF neck!'
2. Would it not be more likely that she would tie
knot in first instance at front of neck?
3. Would it not be natural for murderer, sur
prising woman from rear, to throw string around
neck and knot it at back Of neck?
a. Is it not unlikely that a woman attempting sui
eide would stand in the middle of the floor to
strangle herself? Would she not be more likely to
sit down or lie down? Mrs McPherson's body was
found on floor door and not near chair or bed
S. Is it likely that person in the midst of
hygienc process would interrupt it to commit sui
eide? Yet there is unmistakabIe evidence that in
Mrs. McPhersons death interrupted such
process.
6. Is it likely that a person would attempt such a
process in the dark? Yet no lights were seen in
the apartment at the time of the tragedy and
lights were when the body discovered.
z. Why it that after Mrs. McPherson's hus-
band had notified apartment manager that he had
discovered body, manager had to force to push
open door because of the body being SO close to it?

additional services will be held on
Sunday. Burial will be In Cincin-

Immediately after Mr.. Higgins
death. efforts were made to get in
touch with Clark Griffith, owner
of the Washington Senators,
scheduled to play the Yankees on
Friday. to ask Mr.. Griffith to con-
sent to postponement of the game
so that the entire Yankee team
could attend the funeral services
here.
The likelihood of Fridays game
between the Griffmen and Yankees
being sailed off in order for the
New York players to attend Mr..
Higgins funeral, seemed strong
today, in view of the fact that
request had come to the office of
the Washington ball club asking
for such a postponement.
President Clark Griffits and Sec
retary Eynon were playing goif
when the request arrived, but club
attaches said there is no doubt that
the request will be granted. A
telephone call was also received
from the office of the American
League in Chicago, asking the same
favor in behalf of the Yankee play
ers.
Manager Walter johnson was ap.
preciably touched today when in.
formed that a fellow American
League manager had passed on.
"Huggins was one of the smartest
and straightest shooting baseball
men it has ever been my privilege to
come in contact with" said john
son at his Bethesda home, "and /
deeply mourn his loss. The Yankees
will look a long way before they get
as qualified a leader as Huggins."

The board recently made a loan
to the Sun-Maid organization. which
resulted in Sun Maid bonds sky
rocketing some 29 points in two
days.
Alexander H. Legge, chairman of
the board. defended the loan and
denied that it was made to help
the bankers in whose hands most
of the bonds were held.
Senator Wheeler DJ of Montana,
raised the question by referring to
reports of fluctuations in bond
prices after the board announced
1t would loan $9,000,000 to the raisin
growers and protect bond holders.
Legge explained that the Sun
Maid Association, a California CO..
operative, owned the common stock
Of the Sun Maid Raisin Corporation
OF Delaware, a private company.
Dillon, Read and Company of New
York had originally taken $4,000.
OOO OF bonds of the Delaware Com
pany, which were reduced by nav.
ments to about $4,000
The Farm Board, Legge said, had
agreed to protect the bonds from
foreclosure. The loan deal, how
ever, he said, is not yet concluded.
The boards plan. he said, was to
ADVANCE money to buy in the bonds
II foreclosure proceedings were
threatened.

prices or the bonds rose from $50

The granite workers of West Con-

Labor nfense branch yesterday re-
ceived the following letter from Mrs.
Alice Carpenter, secretary of the
Bessemer City inch of the LID.
"Dear Comrades of West Concord

"The monument to our fallen fell
low worker, Ella May, is accepted
by the Bessemer City Branch of the
international Labor Defense in the
same spirit of working class soli-
darity that prompted its donation.
1t is contribution not to Bessemer
City workers only, but to all work
ers. For Ella May, though, we glad
ly claim her, is now a loss not to
our vicinity alone, but loss and
gain to workers generally. She has
become martyr toward working
class emancipation and rule. The
Mill Mothers Song, which she herself
composed, should be engraved on her
tomb, we think. That she is a work
ingclass martyr should accompany
her name. ELLA May the date of
her birth--'Sept. 20, 1900 and the
date she fell in action, "Sept. IA,
