 Yesterday was the most perfect day of the summer. The humidity was low, and person could work without becoming wilted, such as happened for the past two weeks. But 1t rained again today. One of the worst results of so much rain, is the abundance of mosquitoes, this year, which are most annoying. It is impossible for anyone to sit out of doors in the evening, unless on screened porch, and even with the greatest precaution, they get into a house, and prove very bothersome.

QUINN REFUTES
 OLIVER STORY
Protest Against Carpen- ter's Business Agent
 Brings Prompt Denial

A sweeping denial of charges in- timating that he was attempting to dominate" the local Carpenters Union has been made by Thomas c. Quinn, business agent of the organization. His statement re- flutes a complaint made to The Democrat by Louis Oliver, an un- employed carpenter, who claimed over his signature that he was a member of the local union and be- cause of prejudice had been denied work.
 MT. Quinn very emphatically de- nied that Oliver is a member of the union with full privileges. He has been working occasionally on a permit basis, system by which he is allowed to pay installments on a new application. A vote of the union is necessary, however, before he is declared a member.
 Oliver paying a personal visit to The Democrat signed statement to the effect that he was a union carpenter and that he hSd been prevented from taking job on a local project because Mir. Quinn re- fused to approve of him. In his signed statement he alleged discrim- imitation and urged action against MT. Quinn.
 According to friends of Mir. Quinn, Oliver has been a member of a faction, which has caused some unpleasantness among off, cers and members in the past.
 MT. Quinn stated that requests for union carpenters are filled at the office of the organization. The men must be present when the requests are received. If there are more men than jobs the men draw lots to decide who accepts.
 MT. Oliver was not available to- day for any answer to the charge that he was not a union carpenter and that the statement he made against MT. Quinn was decidedly without Justification.

 Dr. Elliott Mayo, interne at the hospital, who gave Scott emergency treatment, likewise told detectives that he had seen no powder marks when he first examined the wound.
