New fork, June IS.—After four day*
of unceasing poilc* effort the veil of
m -atery enveloping the murder of Mr*.
Alice C. D. Klnnan, on the veranda of
iIso Stanton mansion In the Bronx ha*
b. en lifted sufficiently to reveal—not
a -elution of the case, but a new and
darkly Inexplicable tangle of clrcum
stances.
Today the Investigation centers about
the most pathetic figure In the tragedy,
Sira Louise Stent on, mother of the
slain woman. Virtually a prisoner In
the stately old semi-ruin of the colo
nial homestead, which baa been occu
pied by the family for thirty years, the
police are confident that she knows
mors about the tragedy than has been
gleaned from her self-contradictory,
Irrational statements.
Yet, because of her advanced age,
they hesitated to question her upon
Several new points which make the case
today more sensational and surprls
lug than before.
The detectives are convinced now
that Mrs. Klnnan must have been
wounded within the mansion and that
she fell dying on the veranda while
fleeing from her assassin They base
this theory on the statement of Mrs.
Mrs. Shlppo sat at the window facing
tho veranda steps. No one ascended
those steps, she says, prior to the time
when she heard the fall of the mur
dered woman's body on the dark
plair.a.
Three dogs In the basement which,
because of their barking, are looked
upon as a neighborhood nuisance, did
not bark until after the flndlng of Mrs.
Klnnan'* body.
Mrs. Shlppo, In her story to the po
lice, declares that Mrs. Stanton and
Mrs. Klnnan not only quarreled, but ac
tually exchanged blows.
The detectives have found, near the
rear entrance to the mansion, a hatch
et stained apparently with blood, and
with a long dark hair stuck to Its
head. Both Mr*. Shlppo and Mrs. Sten-
lon deny ownership of the hatchet.
It -ha* been learned that mother
and daughter made reciprocal wills, but
that, for some reason, the papers were
not signed. On the day of the tragedy
IB,ooo had been placed In bank to the
credit of Mrs. Klnnan.

OF SHARES KNOWN
By Private teased Wire.
Philadelphia, Pa, June If.—The most
Important evidence In the hearing be
fore the Interstate commerce commis
sion today was the production of the
Hals of shareholders of the Keystone
t'onl and Coke Company and the
Greenwich Coal Company.
Sir. Cochran, In charge of the Ber-
wlnd-Whtte Company's business at
Ilorslmus pier, told of the handling
und shipment of coal there. He was
somewhat vague on some points and
‘beyokd the fact that the Pennsylvania
Hnllroad did a good deal of work for
the Berwlnd-Whlte Company, little of
Importance was elicited from him.
The same was true of the testimony
of Gilbert Williams, assistant to tho
superintendent of the Berwlnd-Whlte
Company. The testimony of both men
had largely to do with methods, Their
treilmony took up the morning i
a Ion.
Wouldn’t it Make You Mad to Have Some
body Ask You For Skidoo
Pills?
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
ple, 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 Samuel M. Lowry,
proprietor of the Bell pharmacy, at No.
70 South Pryor street.
Mr. Lowry Is a very quiet mannered
man, and those he has gathered about
him In hla drug store are of the same
Ilk. They are not slangy, and they
see nothing funny In their telephone
number, Main 22, than which few are
more popular. For Mr. Lowry or any
of hla clerks to make any change In
their telephone number would be to
surrender to what they consider vulga
rism of the worst sort, so they are
now looking for the Arm that manufac
tures skidoo preparations, while the
Ice cream man Is doing his best to con
coct a skidoo flavoring extract that will
skidoo with competition.
Night after night has been coming
the call:
"Is this 23r
"yes."
"Not really? Well, skidoo for yours.”
Constitutionally opposed to slang, the
clerks at tha Bell pharmacy could not
fall back on profanity, so the night
men could only go to bed to content
plate the meaning of such queer words
as "skidoo for yours.”
Monday night there seemed to be a
lot of sickness In the neighborhood of
the Bell pharmacy, and Main 23 was
kept busy for a long time.
• Hello, Is this 21?”
"Yes."
‘‘Well, I'd like some Bkldop pills,
please."
Another call followed shortly:
■Twenty^threel”
"Yea.’’
“Bend me some Skidoo pain, please.”
The clerk was getting wrathy. as he
did not know of the new medicines,
and hs feared that hla competitors
would get ahead of him. Another call;
•Twenty-three?”
•Tee."
"I'd like a large bottle of PAt-Skldoo.
please—haven't It? Well, send along
a large bottle of Antl-Skldoo for the
hair.”
The clerk was about getting ready to
go to the telephone offlee across the
street and ask the names of his callers,
when the bell rang again:
'Twenty-three?"
"Yes."
"Who Is that?"
"This Is Mr. Jones."
"Mr. BkldooT Well, how Is Mrs.
Skidoo and all the little Skldooa at
home?"
Bang went the 'phone—and the clerk
said to himself:
i think I need a drink."

he found another man driving his
horse, and was told that the preacher
had traded with something "to boot."
The Rev. Mr. Koster wonts to explain
to the synod.

CLARK HOWELL SPOKE
AT WAYNESBORO, GA,
Special to The Oeorglan.
Waynesboro. Os., June 12.—Hon.
Clarke Howell spoke here today In the
Interest of hls candidacy for governor.
He waa Introduced by Hon. W. H.
Davis, ex-senator from the seventeenth
district.
Mr. Howell entered Into hls usual
tirade against Hoke Smith. The dis
franchisement question, free pass, 350,-
000 loan, alt came In for their usual
share.
The weather was very Inclement and
probably accounted for the small audi
ence of about 160 that greeted him.
A quiet move, which wilt probably
end In another light between the min
isters of Atlanta and the saloon men,
Is now under way by the liquor dealers,
who, one year* ago, were balked In
efforts to secure further licenses and
privileges to operate saloons on Mitch
ell street.
After a fight In council and council
committee, the committee of the Evan
gelical Association of Atlanta succeed
ed In defeating the efforts of the liquor
men to get Into Mitchell street. The
council at the time decided to refuse
these licenses for one year, which Is up
on July 1. Plana are now being laid
by the saloon men to get the licenses
which they were refused In 1906.
The committee, composed of Dr. J.
E. White, chairman; Rev. A. C. Ward
and Rev. A. R. Holderby, have been
Informed aa to the purpose of the
liquor men, and will be at council and
at the police committee meeting In
a further attempt to defeat the plana.
Dr. Holderby said Thursday that the
committee had not as yet laid out plans
to follow In lighting the liquor men,
but that everything would be done to'
put an end to granting more licenses
on Mitchell street.
It is probable that the ministers will
attempt to get through a resolution
relative to thla matter more perma
nent than the last.
