Virtually a prisoner In the stately old aeml-ruln of the colo nial homestead, which has been occu pied by the family for thirty years, the police are confident that she knows aa. i. about the tragedy than has been a tea- ed from her self-contradictory, In arterial statements. V. , because of her advanced age, they Agitated to question her upon so. - r iinew points which make the case today more sensational and surpris ing than before. Thu detectives are convinced now th.-i- Mrs. Kinnan must have been wounded within the mansion and that • la fell dying on the veranda while flo. in* from her aeeassln. They base tliir theory on the statement of Mrs. Mary Shipp.', one of the tenants In the basement of the house. .Mia. Shlppo sat at the window fac the veranda steps. No one aecen those steps, she says, prior to the time w h. ii she heard the fall of the mur der.-I woman’s body on the dark u i h in as a neighborhood nuisance, did n..t bark until after tile finding of Mrs. KI n nan’s body. Mrs. Shlppo, In her story to the po ll. • declares that'Mrs. Stenton and M i, Kinnan not only quarreled, but ac tually exchanged blows. The detectives, have found, near the ro.i entrance to the mansion, a hatch- ci stained apparently with blood, and with a long dark hair stuck to Its head. Until Mrs. Shlppo and Mrs. Sten- t..n deny ownership of the hatchet. it has been learned that mother and .laughter made reciprocal wills, but Unit, f ir some reraon, the papers were nut signed. On the day of the tragedy ir,.OM bail been placed In bank to the credit of Mrs. Kinnan. namesIfIlders ; • OF SHARES KNOWN By Private Leased Wire. 1 Philadelphia, Pn., June 15.—The most i Imp .riant evidence In the hearing be fore the Interstate commerce commls- sb.n today was the production of the list- of ehareholders of the Keystone foal and Coke Company an<V the : (ir.-. nwlch Coal Company.

The same wae true of the testimony of Hilbert Williams, assistant to the rup.Tlntendent' of the Berwtnd-Whlte Company. The testimony of both men had largely to do with methods.

If you were owner of a pharmacy and had Incidentally enough of the worries of life to keep you from being supremely blissful, wouldn't It make you angry to have a whole raft of peo. pic, with more Idle time than brains, to keep pestering you because your telephone number happened to be— 23? It has slightly ruffled the erstwhile unfailing urbanity of Hamuej M. Lowry, —nprletor of the Bell pharmacy, at No. South Pryor streot. Mr. Lowry Is a very quiet mannered man, and those he has gathered about him in his drug' store are of the same Ilk. They aro not slangy,, and they see nothing funny In their telephone number, Main tl, than which few are more popular. For Mr. Lowry or any of his clerks to make any change In their telephone number would bo to surrender to what they consider vulga rism of Ihe worst sort, so .they are now looking for.the firm that manufac tures skldoo preparations, while the Ice cream man Is doing his best to con coct a skldoo flavoring extract that will skldoo with competition. Night after night hae been coming the call: ’is this 23?” "Yes.” “Not really? Well, skldoo for yours." Constitutionally opposed to slang, the rlerks at the Bell pharmacy could not fall back on profanity, bo the night men could only go to bed to contem plate the meaning of such queer words aa "skldoo for yours." Monday night there seemed to be . t of sickness In the n< the Bell pharmacy, and kept busy for a long time. "Hello, la this 22?" "Well, I'd like some Skldoo pills, please." Another call followed shortly: "Twenty-three?" "Yes.” , "Send me some Skldoo pain, please.' The clerk was getting wrathy, os h. did not know of the new medicines, and ; he feared that*'his competitors would get ahead of him. Another call 'Twenty-three T’ •Yes." i‘d like a large bottle of Fat-Skldno. please—haven't It? Well, send along a large'bottle of Antl-Skldoo for the hair." The clerk waa about getting ready to go to the telephone office acroea the street and ask the names of his callers, when the bell long rfgsln: "Twenty-three 7” "Yes.” "Who Is that?” •This Is Mr. Jones." "Mr. Skldoo? Well, how Is Mrs. Skldoo and all the little Skldoos at home? Bang went the 'phone—and the clerk, said’ to himself: I think I need a drink. 1 RUMPUS OVER HORSE TRADE ' IS NOW UP.
