SAVANAH, GA., June 19.—Dr. Guy
O. Brinkley, a prominent young physi
cian of {his city, was shot to death
late yesterday afternoon by Mrs. Eugene
H. Whisnant, formerly Miss Katie Kit
tles, who. after firing six shots from
an automatic revolver at the physician,
sent a seventh through her temple and
fell dead across the body of her victim.
It is believed the act was caused by
mental derangement.
The shooting occurred in the private
office of Dr. Brinkley, where the young
woman, who was a widow, had gone
for treatment. Mrs. Whisnant went to
his office into a corridor, calling for a
name has not been ascertained, and who
waited in the doctor’s outer office until
the shooting began, when she fled.
Mrs. Whisnant carried the revolver
in her handbag, ghe began firing a few
minutes after she had entered the phy
sician’s office. Dr. Brinkley fled from
his office into a coridor, calling for a
negro maid servant to summon the po
lice. Mrs. Whisnant pursued him to the
end of the corridor and back into the
office, sending a stream of bullets after
him. Her sixth shot entered the doc
tor’s heart, causing instant death. The
woman then turned the pistol on her
self.
Dr. Brinkley was 'about- forty-five
years old and unmarried. He came here
about seven years ago from Suffolk,
Va. He was held in high esteem.
His slayer was about twenty-seven
years old. She lived with her mother,
who conducts a boarding house on Bull
street.
The body of Mrs. Whisnant was car
ried this morning to Sylvania, Ga., for
interment. She came from Sylvania to
Savannah several years ago. The funer
al of Dr. Brinkley will take place in
Suffolk, Va., the body leaving here this
afternoon.
That Mrs. Whisnant had determined
before she left home yesterday to kill
Dr. Brinkley was shown by the finding
in her bed room of a note addressed to
her mother. In this note she stated
that something dreadful was about to
happen and besought her mother’s for
giveness. On the bed in the room were
also found the unused portion of the
box of cartridges with which she had
loaded the automotic revolver with
which the shooting was done.
The identity of the woman who ac
companied Mrs. Whisnant to Dr.
Brinkley’s office has been discovered
by the police, but it is said she con
vinced the authorities that she had
no idea of the intentions of Mrs.
Whisnant when she went to the phy
sician’s office with her.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill., June 19.—Two*
bandits who held up the Diamond Spe
cial of the Illinois Central lri a spec
tacular manner, cowed the passengers,
fought off a hastily organized posse
and applied at least six charges ot
dynamite to the "through*” safe, were
ill paid for their daring attempt. The
explosive failed to break the heavy safe
containing $26,000.
Soon after last midnight,*as the train
bound from Chicago to St. Louis, near
ed Glenarm, ten miles south of here,
a masked man climbed over the tender
and ordered the engineer to "stop her.”
He did.
As curious trainmen and passengers
peered out of the cars to see what was
the trouble they heard bullets whiz
zing past their heads and ordered by
one of the bandits to stay in the cars.
The other meanwhile was cutting off
the express car. After taking his part
ner aboard, he ordered the engineer to
pull the express car down the track.
They proceeded some distance toward
the city.
The first charge of dynamite aroused
some farmers and after the seeon’d
charge had been fired they telephoned
to the city. Several officers jumped in
to automobiles and hurried to the
scene. The robbers still were at work
when the posse arrived.
The daring robbers not only started
to ght the posse, but captured and dis
armed two members of it, one a po
liceman and the other a newspaper re
porter. When the battle became too
hot they boarded the engine, which had
been cut off from the exoress car. and
ran it rapidly toward this city. When
near the city limits they jumped from
the engine and fled.
The agent of Wells-Fargo & Co. here
said the local safe which was blown
open contained about $500 and that this
amount would cover we loss.
The holdup in many ways was sim
ilar to the attempted robbery of the
"Alton Hummer” on the Chicago & Al
ton, three miles south of Springfield,
last December. Two men held up the
"Hummer” after climbing over the ten
der, covering the engineer and fire
man with. their revolvers and forcing
the engineer to uncouple the express
car and run it a few miles down the
track. As in this morning’s holdup
dynamite was used in the attempt to
blow the safe.

WASHINGTON, June 19.—The noml-
nation of Pleasant A. Stovall, editor of
the Savannah Press, for envoy extraor
dinary and minister plenipotentiary to
the republic of Switzerland, was sent
to the senate this afternoon by Presi
dent Wilson along: with a number of
ether diplomatic nominations, among
them Thomas Nelson Page for Ambas
sador to Italy.
Mr. Stovall’s nomination was re
ferred to the foreign relations com-
mfttee, of which Senator Bacon is
chairman. He will expedite its con
sideration in the committee, and its
speedy confirmation is assured.
The Swiss ministership, which car
ries a salary of $10,000 a year, has
been vacant for about a year, since the
resignation of Henry Sherraan Boutell,
of Illinois, who is now serving on the
United States court of claims in Wash
ington. The American legation has
been in charge of William Walker
Smith, first secretary. It is possible
that Edward Fortson, of Atlanta, who
is an applicant for diplomatic service,
may be assigned to Switzerland as first
secretary of the legation.
Mr. Stovall’s nomination was the sec
ond ministership to be passed out by
the president, and indicates in a meas
ure the high personal esteem in which
the Savannah editor is held by Presi
dent Wilson and Secretary of State
Ryyan. While it has been known for
WJi»«ks that he will be sent to Switzer
land, as was first exclusively fore
shadowed in these dispatches, the nom
ination was no less an occasion of
pleasure to the Georgians in Wash
ington and others to whom Mr. Stovall
is personally known*.
The slight delay in the nomination
was due to the diplomatic formalities
occasioned by such appointments. Be
fore the nomination was made it was
necessary for the department of state,
through Secretary Bryan, to ascertain
if Mr. Stovall would be acceptable to
the Swiss republic. This formal nego
tiation, of course, developed * what was
unofficially known in advance, "that the
Savannah editor was persona grata to
the government of Switzerland."
HAPPY SELECTION.
It is the belief in Washington that
the president could make no happier
selection for the Switzerland post. The
appointment of Mr. Stovall will inspire
renewed confidence In the administra
tion among, the people of Georgia, to
whom the editor is so well known
through his service in the state legis
lature and his record as a publisher.
Mr. Stovall was one of the original
Woodrow Wilson men. He was c.mong
the very first to get behind the move
ment to nominate the president. Long
before the ..preconvention campaign was
under way, Mr. Stovall was urging Wil
son as the most available man for the
nomination. And when opposition to
Wilson developed in Georgia, the pres
ident had no more loyal a friend than
the Savannah editor. Although the
state turned to Underwood, Savannah
and Chatham county stood by the pres
ident in the * primary contest for the
Georgia delegates.
The president and Mr. Stovall were
boyhood friends in Augusta, and time
has only added to this friendship. Aft
er Mr. Wilson’s nomination at Balti
more and during the early days of the
presidential campaign, Mr. Stovall vis
ited the Wilsons at Sea Girt, and vas
cordially welcomed. He was in con
ference with the national committee
in New York several times before the
election, and rendered valuable service
as a member of the publicity commit
tee.
Mr. Stovall has been always a pro
gressive Democrat in state and national
politics. He was a loyal supporter of
William Jennings Bryan in his fights
for the presidency, and in state poli
tics he has always stood squarely be
side Senator Hoke Smith, beside whom
few were more pleased with the pres
ident's recognition of Mr. Stovall. Sen
ator Bacon and every member of the
Georgia delegation indorsed Mr. Sto
vall for the diplomatic service.
Outside tne open window of her room,
which is on the first floor, is a porch.
On it detectives found the tracks of
bare feet, made evidently, they said, by
a woman or child. Whether some one
connected with the sanitarium or some
outsider committed the robbery, detec
tives have not shown.
When Miss Skelton was found early
Wednesday morning, the effects of the
chloroform still clogged her brain. She
gave the officers a rambling account of
the night as she remembered it.
Aboyt 11 o’clock Tuesday night she
retired, said Miss Skelton. One door to
her room was left locked, the other un
licked. The window opening upon the
porch was left open. About 1 o’clock
Wednesday morning, Miss Skelton said,
she has a vague remembrance of some
one grasping her around the throat.
Then she became unconscious. She re
membered nothing more until daylight.
At 6:30 o’clock Miss Pauline Bogan,
the night nurse, entered Miss Skelton’s
room to arouse her. She saw Miss Skel
ton lying in bed with the handkerchief
over her face. The room had been ran
sacked, all the bureau drawers thrown
open, and things turned topsy-turvy gen
erally.
When officers were called they found,
a bottle of chloroform near the bed. The
label had been torn off, and it was not
identified as any bottle belonging to the
hospital. The tracks were found on the
porch. They had been made, it appeared,
by wet feet. Their small size and the
shape led detectives to think that a
woman or possibly a boy committed the
theft, crawling through the window
from the porch to Miss Skejton’s room.
Dr. W. W. Lingo, who conducts the
Red Cross sanitarium, is in Baltimore.
He is expected back this week.

Does Your Butter
Taste Fishy? Then
HeedThis Warning
(By Associated Pres*.)
WASHINGTON, June 19.—If your
butter at breakfast tastes "metallic”
or "oily” it is almost a certain indi
cation that your grocer has unloaded
"storage” butter on you, according to
the bureau of mineral Industry of the
agricultural department.
The bureau today gave out a report
on its experiments designed to discover
the cause for these peculiar "flavors”
in certain butters and it urges butter
makers and dairy proprietors to beware
of the rusty milk can and the churn
with exposed metallic parts.
The bureau experts discovered that
contact with copper or iron and espec
ially copper gave a flavor that was not
only disagreeable in butter freshly made
but increased the products' rancidity
the longer it was kept in storage.
The investigation was made because
millions of tons of butter are now being
made for cold storage against the win
ter demands.

Zeppelin Plans a
Three-Day Plight
Across Atlantic
Don't Expect a Book
Learning to Guarantee
Career, Says Marshall
(By Associated Press.)
LONDON, June 19.—"Count Zeppelin
and his technical staff at Friedrich-
shafen are convinced that the modern
dirigible airship can cross the At
lantic/’ says a Berlin dispatch to the
London Express, "and it is probable
that a voyage from Germany to New

Count Zeppelin is said to have been
in communication with the German gov

the voyage being undertaken several
German warships would be stationed
in the Atlantic to render assistance.
Count Zeppelin bilieves that, with good

PORTER ARRESTED FOR
BERKELEY HOTEL ROBBERY
Expects to Make
Bad Boy Good By
Skull Operation
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, June 19.—-In an ad
dress at a high school commencement
here yesterday. Vice President Marshall
warned the graduates not to look to
book learning to guarantee the making
of st career.
"Anybody,” he declared, "who is will
ing to cast principles to ihe wind to
take advantage of the weak and to ride
roughshod over his neighbors can make
a career but from the higher standpoint,
h e gains nothing by fhhtf”
The vice president pleaded for the
maintenance of the old common school
and cultural education as against an
over abundance of technical instruction.
Education, he declared, especially of
the cultural kind, does not go to make a
career, but rather to make splendid men
and women, a greater task.
"Since the revolution," he added, "the
United States has set the pace for the
world in progress and civilization and in
two centuries more the world, will be a
democracy, I believe that this age is
the crowning glory of all ages.”
LONDON June 19.—An unexpected
sequel to the recent burglary in the
Berkeley hotel in Picadilly is the arrest
of the night . porter, Arthur James,
charged with being concerned in steal
ing from the hotel safe $35,000 and at
tempting to murder Gowers, the other
night porter. , The movements of a big
rat in the hotel dining room a few days
ago led to James’ arrest. Employes of
the hotel, in hunting down the rat,
found its hole under the radiator, and
through it saw a gleam of gold. The
floor was taken up, and there was found
more than half of the booty. It is
charged that James, who was bound
and gagged near the safe on the night
of the burglary, acted in conjunction
with a continental gang of thieves.

PHILADELPHIA, June 19.—An oper
ation which the surgeons declare will
make a good boy out of eight-year-old
Claire H. Jamison was performed yes
terday in the W est Philadelphia
HomfiQpatbdtic hospital, "where a piece
of bone two Inches long and one inch
wide was removed from the boy’s skull.
The child, it was stated, was a good
boy when he first went to school three
years ago. His second year he was
not quite so good, and since then he
has been a terror to his teachers, par
ents and other children. An X-ray oper
ation disclosed the fact that there was
a depression in his skull, probably the
result of a fall or a blow, which the
surgeons say caused the change in the
boy’s deportment.

Reached Home In
Time to Witness
His Own "Wake
(By Associated Press.)
BERLIN, June 19.—The twenty-fifth
anniversary of the accession of Emper
or William to the imperial throne was
celebrated today throughout the Ger
man empire as a general holiday.
The commemoration which had been
deferred from its actual date out of re
spect to the memory of the emperor’s
father, Frederick, coincides with the
forty-second anniversary of the tri
umphal return of his grandfather at
the heod oT his victorious army after
the Franco-Prussian war and was
marked by considerable military dis
play.
Emphasis was laid also on the peace
ful aspects of the emperor’s quarter
century reign—industrial and civic de
velopments and the prosperity of the
country.
Presentation of an address from the
American peace societies by Andrew
Carnegie, R. S. Brookings, of St. Louis,
and J. S. Schmidtapp, of Cincinnati,
give the emperor an opportunity of
bringing out this aspect of the occa
sion.
He responded to Andrew Carnegie’s
congratulations with an emphatic, "l
hope we shall have twenty-five years
more of peace.”
U. S. NOT RESPONSIBLE
FOR MISSISSIPPI FLOOD
KEARNEY, N. J., June 19.—James
Kiely still is suffering from the shock
of witnessing what his relatives and
friends believed to be*his own "wake.”
When he returned to his home last
night after a few days’ absence he
found his sister, Mrs. Catherine
O'Brien; his two brothers' and a score
of neighbors sitting in the front parlor
weeping over a coffin. The mourners
spied him as he stood on the threshold,
and his sister fainted at the shock of
seeing him.
During his absence the newspapers
had told of the death of James Kelly
from sunstroke In Newark. When Mrs.
O’Brien read the Item she feared that
the victim was her brother and that the
paper had misspelled the name. She
viewed the body. The features were so
singularly the double of those of her
brother that she believed It to be his
body.
WASHINGTON, June 19.—he su
