Los Angeles, Calif., Oct. 21. "I do
not believe In woman suffrage. It Is
d 'd nonesen.se."
The foreging expression emitted
from the vitrolic tongue of United
States Senator Jeff Davis, Of Arkan
sas, who arri id in this city today on
Ills honeymoon with his newly wedded
wile.
Continuing to express himself on
things current, but nothing in partic
ular, Senator Davis said:
"I would not stand for any man to
come around my wife electioneering."
Senator Davis stated that he was in
favor of the recall, and liked Presi
dent Taft, generally, but he said
"Governor Wilson of New Jersey, can
bint President Taft In a race for the
presidency, and I Taft receives the
republican nomination, the democrats
are sure to win the next national el

-WANTS PICTURE CASH
Philadelphia Pa., Oct. 21 Rain in
veritable torrents fell again today and
lausrd the fourth postponement of
the fourth game of the world cham
pionship baseball series between the
New York Nationals and the Phila
delphia Americans The next game
will be played Monday if the weather
permit.
An unpleasant mercenary tinge
lias been added to 'ho champion-hip
series situation today by a squabble
that has arUen among the players re
garding the motion pictures that have
been und are still to be taken of the
games.
The players have not received any
pay for posing for the pictures, and
this Is where the trouble starts, as
the players have suddenly allowed
everything else to go unconsidered
save the amount of money thut each
may get out of the series.
The New York Giants nave reach
ed an understanding nmong tnem
selves, whereby they are to strike for
a share of the jditure receipts. They
refuse to pose further unless they are
paid and It is likely that tho Athletics
will follow suit.

Ohio will land the democratic nomi
nation for president Is the opinion of

halirreed redskin resents
desertion' of mistress uy
murdering her axi) promi
xext lady employer.
Orovllle, Calif., Oct. 21 With all
the cold cunning inherited from his
race and Inflamed to a savage brutal
ity by Jealousy of his white mistress
who had deserted him, Edward Wil
liams, a half-breed Indian last night
shot and instantly killed the inspira
tion of his outraged though crude af
fictlon, as well as Mrs. Lillie Mullings,
aged forty years and wife of a promi
nent physician, and seriously wound
ed her son, William Mullings, age
nineteen years, when he attempted to
protect his mother from the deadly
lire poured into her by the enraged
redskin, who himself sustained a seri
ous wound from the gun of Dr. Mul
lings, who was protecting his family.
The double tragedy oecurej at Moors
town, near here last night.

had been residing at Cascade, a small
mining camp. The woman left him
ami found refuge at the Mullings
home, us a domestic.
Williams on learning where she
was, appeared at the Mullings home
and asked to see the woman. He was
tefusi d admittance, and sneaking ar
ound the house to the kitchen, he
fired on the girl, killing her, then he
turned the weapon on Mrs. Mullings,
with the same effect, shooting t""v"
young .son when he interfered and ex
changed fliots with Dr. Mullings, who
fired with truer aim. and probably fa
tally wounded the murderer.
Williams made his escape from the
premises after the shooting-, and was
this morning found hiding In the
brush a short distance away, and suf
fering intensely from the wound in
flicted by Doctor Mullings.
He was brought to this place and
lodged in the county Jail, and there is
much excitement which it is feared
will result in a 'lynching of the mur

SECIRE JURY AT RATE OF

STAGE OF TRIAL.
Hall of Records, Los Angeles, Cal.,
Oct. 21. Idly playing cards, reading
and otherwise passing away the time,
in an effort to tide themselves over
until the resumption of the McXa
mnra trial Motlay morning, six ve
niremen are today locked in their
rooms in the Hall of Records, each
womb-ring jf he is really to serve on
the Jury of the most celebrated erim
iral trial of the Pacific coat, and none
sure that he will not be excused be
fore the trial actually begins. They
are Mesrs. Green, Pain. Manning,
KoUiiitrm. Mcintosh and McKee.
Th- s-. six men a.- yet only venire
men represent the efforts of the last
ti n days, all spent in an attempt to
secure a Jury to try the men accused
' causing the explosion that de
stroyed the Times building and killed
tw euty-nne employes.
The first four can only be eliminat
ed from the Jury box, by peremptory
challenges,, unless Judg? Bordwell, on
the opening of court Monday morn
ing, after looking up authorities,
should reverse bis action In overruling
the challenge of the states attorneys,
against Venireman Robinson. The
e'uilli litres against McKee and Mcin
tosh are c:.peeted to be allowed by
the court, as each had admitted that
tie is biased.
As a matter of actual fact, Venire
man Manning is the only one who
stands much show of remaining on
the jury, and the defense or the state
are expected Jo challenge all the
others.
At this rate one Juror per ten days
it will require four months to se
cure a jury of twelve men to try the
cp.se.

mity of the crime which has been laid
at his door, his face pitifully haggard
and his nerve completely gone. Rev.
Clarence Virgil R cheson pastor of
the fashionable Emanuel Baptist
church of Cambridge- today occupies
a felon's cell in the jail in this city,
spending his time in anxiously

velopments that are being uncovered
in the Case by the authorities who are

which will prove that he deliberate
ly murdered nineteen year old Avis
Linnell, a pretty student of the Bos

The authorities who are working on
the case state that hey have evi
dence that the minister poisoned the

h!s wedding to Miss Viola Edmans,
daughter of a wca'thy manufacturer,
and herself heiress to half a m lliort
dollars.
An au'opsy performed on the body

fact that she was ir an embarrassing
physical condition and her surround

room in the Young Women's Chris

that the poison which caused her
death had been given her by Riche
son as a remedy to prevent the
discovery of her physical condition,
and with the assurance that it was
harmless.
It is declared that the reputation
of the young girl wan above suspicion
until she met the youthful preacher
and that he continually mistreated
her by breaking off their marriage

as an excuse that his own physical
