CRARY DEATH

CHARLOTTE, June 14.-Five
empty cartridges, all of which ap'
peared to have been fired at near
ly the same time, were in the pis-
tol which caused the death of Mrs
w. o. Crary, artist-wife of con-
tracing engineer at her home
here mid-afternoon last Saturday,
Frank N. Littlejohn, chief of de-
tectives, said yesterday.
DR.. Fred Austin, county coro-
ner. who said Saturday night that
an examination of the body and a
preliminary investigation indicat-
ed that Mrs. Crary's death was
suicide, announced yesterday that
the investigation is still underway
but that no time had been set for
the formal inquest. Beyond that
he had no comment to make on
the case today. =.
Chief Littlejohn was lamenting
the lateness at which police were
notified of the 34-year-old wo-
mans death and consequently the
hardness with which officers OF
the detective division began their
investigation.
The pistol, which the coroner
turned over to the police depart
ment and which has been exam.
ined by John H. Pierczynski, OF
the Identification Bureau, contain
ed five empty shells, all OF which,
Chief Littlejohn said, appeared 70
have been fired rather closely TO-
gether in elapse of time.
The only previous indication OF
the number of times the gun mao
been fired was the announcement
of DIR. Austin Saturday night tina!
witnesses had reported the SCUM
of two shots in the Crary home
and that he had found places IN
the bedroom windows whefe t"o
bullets had struck :, 80 g.
Chief Littlejohn said that mn
pernrints, one showing a scar
wh;cb were obtained from the gun
hy M Pierczynski, did not match
those of. Mrs. Crazy. FlngerprlhtS

Sunday but check failed TO snow

TYAPURCHASE
NEGOTIATIONS
Are STALLED
Officials Cannot Agree on
Valuation Set for Utili-
ties Properties

WASHINGTON, June 14.i(UP)
Negotiations between, the Tennes-
see Valley Authority and the Com
monwealth and Southern Corp,
for sale of the latter's properties
in the IVA area collapsed at least
temporarily Monday when officials
could not agree on a valuation
fixed by independent appraisers.
Announcement of the Suspen-
sion came after two conferences
between IVA Director David E.
Lilienthal and Wendell Willkie,
C. & S. chairman. 1t was their
first meeting since an appraisal of
all C. & S. properties in the south
east was made by 4 private &C
counting firm.
A joint statement issued by the
two men said:
"Mr. Lilienthal and Mr.. Willkie
met today and discussed the ques-
ton of the purchase by the IVA
of certain properties of the Com
monwealth and Southern Corpora
ton. After several hours discus
sion, there was a suspension of
negotiations to a date to be fixed
later"
Although Lilienthal and Willkie
would not comment further, it was
learned that technical questions in
connection with the audit forced
them to halt negotiations until the
points can be ironed out to the
satisfaction of both sides.
The negotiations, looking to-
ward peaceful settlement of the
feud between private power COM
NAMES and the IVA, were opened
early this year. Only recently the
Electric Bond and Share System
agreed to sell its Knoxville prop
critics to IVA and the city OF
Knoxville for S7,900,000.
Under discussion yesterday were
the Alabama Power Co., the Mis-
sissippi Power Co., and the Ten
nessee Electric Power Co. IVA
proposes to make the purchases
on the Original cost" basis enun-
ciated by President Roosevelt, less
depreciation. ....... :.
Prior to suspension of the bar
gaining, both Lilienthal and Will
kie reported negotiations pro
crossing satisfactorily" but de.
clined to disclose the valuation OF
the properties reached by the au-
diting firm.
Nature of the technical snarls
which caused the halt was not dis
closed, but it was indicated they
would not form a permanent OBJ
stacle to purchase OF. the proper
ties. a major phase in Twas plan
to supplant private utilities with
publicly-owned and operated sys-
tens throughout the Southeast.
However, failure of the. nego-
tiations to set date for a future
meeting lent weight to reports
that it would require g long time
to reconcile the differences.
The discussions had been de-
scribed as preliminary although
much of the ground has been COW
cred in previous talks and CORE,
spondence between Lilienthal and
Willkie.
It was not known what effects

Rail Commuter Fare
Arguments Studied

After hearing final arguments yes
terday the Interstate Commerce
Commission today had before it for
decision the application of the
Southern Railway to cancel COM
mutation fares between Washington
and points in Virginia within a
radius of nearly 90 miles.
Charles Clark, representing the
railway, told Division of the COM
mission, composed of Commissioners
Meyer, Porter and Mahaffie. that
the road was running a deficit of
about $4,000 a month, or about $50
900 a year, in operating the COM
muters' train. He said that in 1887
commuters bought 1873 tickets and
that in the first half of 1898 there
were 1877 communication tickets sold.
The cost of wages and fuel alone,
he said, would wipe out the revenue
from commuters tickets. He inti-
mated the commuters train should
be discontinued entirely.
w. I. Denning, representing the
commuters, charged that to cancel
the specially priced commuters tick
cts would raise the price OF trans
portation from 180 to 236 per cent,
depending on the distance Travelled.
The railroad, Mr.. Denning claimed,
had not shown justification for any
such increase as that. He pointed
to law which he said placed the
burden on the road to prove that
any increase in fare is both fair and
reasonable"
