Los Angeles Prosecutor Not to
Free Carver Girl.
STATE'S RIGHT BARRIER
Fredericks Say He'll Proceed W ith
Case Slain Man's Mother Re
lieves Re Was Shot Trying
to Prevent Suicide.
IJOS ANGELES. April 1. (Special.)
"Although I have been Investigating
the case for several days, I have found
nothing which would warrant me in
dropping the case." declared District
Attorney Fredericks today in speaking
of the charge of murder placed atrainst
Mlsa Viola Carver, of Tacoma. Wash,
the slayer of James Edwin Edge, a real
estate dealer.
"I feel certain that the case will con
tinue." Mr. Fredericks stated. "Judging
from present appearances It Is slated
to go through the regular procedure.
The young woman may be entitled to
sympathy, but tho state has rights
which 1 am bound to respect, and I
cannot. In Justice to the state, take any
other course than I have here stated."
The investigation has not been com
pleted and even after he has ceased
working upon his own initiative In that
direction. Mr. Fredericks says he will
be open to any information that can be
conveyed to him.
The young woman a preliminary
hearing will take place next Monday
nd Deputy District Attorney Shannon
said he was preparing for the proceed
ings as he has In all other cases in the
city police courts and that he does not
nticlpate any Intervention.
The declaration of the District At
torney refutes the rumors that the
prosecutor would set the girl free In
a few days, convinced that the killing
was an accident.
It la reported that the mother of the
victim called on the District Attorney
and told him she believed her son was
killed while trying to prevent the
young; woman from committing suicide.

Ballot Taken In England Proves
Surprise, as Leaders Had Shown
Folly of Further Persistence.
LONDON. "April 1. Up to midnight
the votes counted In the ballot of the
miners In connection with the coal
strike, numbered 135.969. Of these 68.
141 were In favor of resumption of
work and 66.828 against resumption.
These totals, however, do not include
North Wales and other districts, where.
It Is believed, large majorities will be
polled In favor of resumption.
The ballot affords surprises and
there Is doubt in some quarters
whether a majority would cast their
ballots for return to wo: k. altrough
all the responsible leaders continue to
advise tho men of the folly of contin
uing the strike.
South Wales, which was supposed to
be a hotbed ol resistance, polled near
ly two to one In favor of resuming
while the English northern counties
balloted In favor of continuing the
strike.
One explanation of the unexpected
ballot is that many willing to return to
work are not taking the trouble to
record their votes. It Is estimated that
between 20.000 and 30.000 miners en
tered the pits yesterday. Coal traffic
Is being resumed and many shipyards
and Industries have started up again.
The price of coal declined 3s 6d on the

Household Remedy
Takes
the KprtsuK fer Years.
Ralph Rust. Willis, Mlclu writes:
"Hood's Sarsaparllla has been a house
bold remedy In our home as lone as I
can remember. I have taken it In the
spring for several years. It has no
equal for cleansing the blood and ex
pelling the humors that accumulate
during the winter. Being a farmer and
exposed to had weather, my system Is
often affected, and I often take Hood's
Sarsaparllla with good results."
Remember there Is no real substitute
for Hood's Sarsaparllla. If urged to
buy any preparation said to be "just as
good" you may be sure It is inferior,
costs lees to make, and yields the dealer
a larger profit.
Get Hood's Sarsaparllla today. In

Sarsatabs. .

! GRACE Iff LETTERS
SAYS HE'S FAILURE
Georgian Writes Wife in 1911
That Women Caused" His
Downfall.
HIS CHARGES ARE REFUTED
MIItcs Contain Requests for Cah
and rromlsos to Reform TJn
ftigned Agreement Prepared by
Grace Presented With Letters.
ATLANTA. Ga.. April 1. (Special.)
"I hare been a rank failure." and "I
can truthfully say It was caused by
other women," are extracts from let-
tors written bv Kueene H. Grace to his
wife which have come to light here.
The general tenor of the letters seems
to be a refutation of the charges made
by Grace against Mrs. Grace, whom he
says shot him while he was sleeping on
March 7.
The letters show that Grace made
repeated calls upon Mrs. Grace for
money. He tells ot arriving i
Atlanta with just ' 25 cents, tells of
borrowing money, promises to reform
and begs Mrs. Grace to sell stocks held
by her that he can make a new start.
Wife Asked 'Mot to Fuss."
With the letters is a typewritten
agreement. with Mrs. Grace which Mrs.
Grace says Grace at one time begged
her to sign. She rerused to ao mis.
however. The agreement is framed
decidedly In favor of Grace. In It he
provides that Mrs. urace snoum- agree
to forfeit J25.0OO and her home In
Philadelphia to him should she again
"speak unkindly, harshly or fuss in
any manner with her lawfully wedded
husband. K. H .Grace." For this part.
according to the contract, Grace also
promised "not to fuss unless given
proper reasons for so doing."
A letter Is exniniteu, fluieu ai .ew
nan. Ga.. November 2, 1911, in which
Grace says:
"I hit Atlanta with just is cents.
Preston Hill loaned me some money."
C'oadltloa Said to Be Deplorable.
In a letter written the following day.
he nays:
"Honestlv. I don t ask or deserve
sympathy, but my condition is deplor
able and a sad one. I don t want my
folks or any one to know of my shape.
and, therefore, cannot get the money
to come to you on. I would give most
anything to be with you. I hate to
say it, but I must tell you and be
honest. If something does not happen
within a few days so I can see or be
with you. I shall not be responsible
for what happens. I am petting afraid
of mysejr and cant hold out mucn
longer."
The following letter was written by
Grace to Mrs. Opie the day after the
funeral of Webster Oplo, her first hus
band: February I. 1311. My Dear Girl: I
know that you now feel more at ease
since your mind has been relieved of
the severe ordeal you have had to
undergo during the last few weeks,
and the only sensible thing for you
to now do Is look only to the future.
forget vour troubles and endeavor to
be happy and although, certain re-
v.nm prevent mft T ruin OOIUK
should be happy to do. if I can In any
way make your future a. nappy one. u
lleve me. I stand In readiness to re
spond to your call. '
Women Cause of Failure.
' "Of course, dear, I have absolutely
but a heart and my true friendship to
offer any one. for I have been a rank
failure in a business way during the
last six months, and can truthfully
say It was caused by women, but I am
now through with them, and from now
henceforth will make every effort to
ma kn a man out of myself.
"What I have witnessed, and I say
this absolutely free of a sentimental
feeling, has been a revelation to me. In
that It shows the finis of such a fast
living to be death. Neither shall 1
again drink whisky.
"I do not make the statements for
vour benefit, or through any affecta
tion, but wholly for my welfare, and
for this reason I shall make every ef
fort to adhere to them.
"You can rely on me to be true blue
to the core. I Just want to be the kind
of a friend that you can know down In
the depths of your heart. If you have
one true friend In the world It is I.
Lobs Talk Requested.
"I want to have a good talk with
you prior to your taking any steps
other than consulting your lawyer and
the physician In regard to the Insur
ance. In the latter do not pledge too
much to the doctor.
"Upon reading this letter carefully
give close thought to that which I may
have said, and if you think me worthy
of such a friendship as that I mention,
phone me today and Just say, 'I agree
with what you say.'
"Good night, dear: think of me a
little anyway now and then.
"As ever, G."
In still another letter Grace writes:
"Of course I was so disappointed
about you not being able to get any
money. I am positively not going to
live in Philadelphia. I was in Atlanta
yeeterday end also today. I had picked
out k dandv furnished place and almost
arranged to go Into a beautiful busi
ness that I could make zoo per cent
on the money, the building business. It
wohld only require about $6000."
The letter then advises her how to
sell 50 shares of Baldwin Locomotive
stock she possessed, to realize the
amount. .

Professor Hlrsclt Testifies in Action
Brought by. Miss Mercy That
Jews Are Xot" In Disfavor.
CHICAGO," April 1. The end of the
suit of Miss -Esther Mercy, formerly a

There will be no session of court to

Harry Pratt Judson. president of the
university and Dr. Emil G. Hlrseh. an

How The Body Kills Germs.
Germs that get into the body are killed in two ways by the white corpuscles
of the blood, and by a ttrm-killingrubitanct that is in the blood. Just what this
substance is, we do not know. The blood of a healthy person always has some
erm-killinf substance in it to ward off the attack of disease. The fountain head
of life is the stomach. A man who has a weak and impaired stomach and who
does not properly digest his food will sooa find thst his blood has become weak
and impoverished, and that his whole body is improperly and insufficiently nour
ished. To put the body in healthy condition, to feed the system on rich, red blood
and throw out the poisons from the body, nothing in the past forty years has
excelled Dr. Pieroe's Golden Medical Discovery, a pure
glyceric extract (without alcohol), of bloodroot, golden
seal and Oregon grape root, stone root, mandrake and
queen's root with black oberrybark.
"Mr husband was a sufferer from stomach trouble and
impure blood." writes Mns. Jambs H. Mabtiit. of Frank
fort, Ky. ' He had a sore on his face that wonld form a
scab which would dry and drop off in about a month, then
another would immediately form. It continued this way
for a long time. He tried every remedy that any onewould
suggest bnt found no relief. He then tried Dr. Pierces
Golden Medical Discovery which completely cured him. He
has stayed cured now for two years, and I recommend this
valuable medicine for Impurities of the blood."
