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. (By Associated Press.) 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. nm 1 ' . own home will be a Dover fail- can have the World's Best Organ—sent to your l infT source or pleasure, refinement, for 30 Days' Trial, without paying a cent.

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. CHIUS t. ADLER. Pres't. Adler MTg. C 3539 W. Chestnut St.. Louisville. Ky.

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.

Attorney McNeil, who represents Mrs. King, will likely agree to have both cases tried together on July 7. Wilburn is still in jail here. 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 York will be undertaken this summer.” Count Zeppelin is said to have been in communication with the German gov ernment, which is disposed to regard his plan favorably, and in the event of the voyage being undertaken several German warships would be stationed in the Atlantic to render assistance. Count Zeppelin bilieves that, with good weather the voyage could be made with in three days. 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. (By Associated Press.) 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.
