TIIE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. F THAN SHE’LL TELL MRS. KINNAN AND PARENT SAID TO HAVE QUARRELED ATMOSPHERE IS BLUE AROUND PHONE NO. 23\ Mystery of Her Death Is Not Solved by the Police. Still By print* iMKd Win. 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. names - ? holders 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."

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.
