MRS. SNEAD, LOVE GONE, TO SEEK DIVORCE Wife of Banker-Slayer Pre pares to Sue—Father Turns Against Her. AMARILLO, TEXAS, Sept. 24 —Tak ing with her the memories of a love that already has cost the lives of two men and landed a third to whom it rightfully belonged in a prison cell un (trr a charge of murder, Mrs. Lena Snead, wife of John B. Snead, wealthy San Antonio banker, has gone into se clusion at Calvert. Texas, preparatory t 0 filing suit for divorce. Mrs. Snead went there immediately Rfter her husband shot and killed A. G. Boyce, wealthy Amarillo cattleman.be rau«e. he alleges, he had found evi dence that Boyce and his wife were about to elope for a second time. The first elopement, which shocked and surprised Southwestern society, nhere both principals were -well known, occurred last December and culminated in the shooting of Boyce’s father. Colonel A. G. Boyce, Sr., by Snead, when the elder Boyce took steps to secure his son’s release from jail, where he had been placed on charges preferred by Snead. Snead was ac quitted for the shooting on the ground nf self-defense. Father Turns Against Her. Mr= Snead was accompanied by her mother. Her father, J. L. Snyder, is reported to have turned against her and to be doing his utmost to secure Snead's acquittal on the charge of mur der he now faces. Since going there she has exchanged correspondence with the attorneys fo' thP Royces as well as the attorneys for her husband as to what course she should pursue. That Boyce pleaded with Snead not to shoot him again when Boyce fell on the street here September 14, riddled with buckshot, and that Snead, firing ngaln. remarked: "I guess you are dead," was brought out by Karl Jack son. of Amarillo, a witness, yesterday in the hearing of Snead’s plea for a writ of habeas corpus through which he seeks to be released from jail on bond. Sheriff W. M. Burwell, another'wit ness, testified that Snead’s garb and heat v beard' rendered it difficult for acquaintances to recognize Snead on the day of the tragedy. The state en deavored. through testimony of the sheriff, to strengthen its contention that the killing was premeditated. A number of witnesses were exam ined in relation to the intimacy -of the Snead and Boyce families. Evidence Barred Concerning Elopement An attempt to introduce the Boyce- Snead elopement of last fall in the ex amination of witnesses was objected to by the state, because no predicate had been laid at this hearing to justify I*. The defense waived the matter, re serving the right to get it properly be fore the court. State’s attorneys sav the attempt to introduce the elopement feature indicated that Snead’s defense on the charge of murder would be the unwritten law. Many sections of the Northwest are represented among the crowds by well known cattlemen who are each friends v relatives of the Sneads or the Boyces. A new phase of the Snead case is suggested in the subpena issued by the state for Terry Thompson, brother-in law of Snead. This process instructs >i to bring with him a “certain breast l>Ate used for the protection of human body It is said Snead had taken this additional measure to prevent injury himself in the encounter he is gen erally conceded to have planned with Al Royce.

C„ Sept. 24. That rabies is a disease that car. be readily eradicated, and that Georgia stands second in number of cases of rabies of all the states of the Union, were statements made here today be-» fore the National Congress of Hygiene and Demography by Professor Henry Albert, of the University of lowa, an expert on hydrophobia. He said that il a system of handling dogs were care fully cairied out, the last vestige of rabies would be driven from the conti nent. "The Chicago stock yards is a gray neighborhood,” declared Dr. Caroline Hedger, of Chicago, in her address. Speaking of the children of the stock X.ards district, Dr. Hedger said: In the region in which they live the smoke comes down in clouds and with it comes the smell of the fertilizer plants. This is not conducive to deep breathing or sound sleep and the chil dren are round-shouldered, thin and rather pale. They have not the spirit and the nervous balance to make their grades. “If the child grows inactive, discon tented. becomes idle and a criminal,” asked the doctor, “is the child to blame or is the snug citizen who lives on the fat returns of stocks, whose money' is made by the sweat and blood and dep rivation of the industrial neighborhoods like this?" Spinal Meningitis Infection, In an address before the congress on cerebro spinal meningitis, Dr. Abraham Sophian, of the department of health, New York city, strongly indorsed the use of vaccination as a preventive of that dread disease. "Epidemic meningitis,” said Dr. So phian, "Is an acutely infectious con tagious disease that is transmitted principally through the medium of healthy carriers; that is, healthy peo ple who harbor the infecting agent in their noses and throats. These healthy carriers are in constant danger, since they may at any time develop menin gitis. They are also a menace to their neighbors.” “There are a few diseases that can be a* easily eradicated as rabies," de clared Professor Henry Albert, of the lowa university, in an address. He presented a system, which, if car ried out, he thought would drive the last vestige of hydrophobia from the North American continent. It has al ready been done, he declared, by- Great Britain, Norway, Sweden and Denmark, "and,” said he, "if the example offered by these countries were followed the world over rabies, as a disease, soon would lose all of its terrors for both the human kind and the animal kind.” Professor Albert would insist that all dogs be licensed, and t,hat all dogs not provided with a collar and license tag should be destroyed. He would further require that when rabies is present in a given place, all dogs permitted to run 645 COUNTS AGAINST TEACHER EX-CONVICT FOR DEFALCATIONS PEORIA, ILL., Sept. 24.—Newton C. Dougherty, former head of the Peoria schools, was expected to arrive here to day to give bond on fifteen indictments containing 645 counts growing out of his defalcations in 1883. The former educator is now under parole after serving six years for charges growing out of the same defalcations. He is living in Chicago. The new indictments are based on script found in the school records in an envelope marked “1883.” Recently Dougherty began legal pro ceedings to regain title tn property In St. Louis and in Wisconsin which had been given over in trust to the school board agent to cover any shortage dis covered. No action on the part of the board to take this property had been made. Dougherty’s attorney asserts the new indictments were brought to hinder the action to recover this prop erty. NEGRO CHURCH HAS SCHOOL AND HOME FOR WORKING GIRLS The First Congregational church, col ored, Rev. H. H. Proctor, pastor, is add ing to Its Institutional facilities "a home for homeless working girls.” In this in stitution the negro servant girl will re ceive industrial and moral training Cook ing. sewing, laundering and ottier domes tic arts will be taught.

He said he would also insist that all dogs imported into this country' should be held in quarantine for at least six months. Georgia Second For Rabies. He presented statistics showing that in the United States in 1911 there were 3.385 persons bitten by rabid dogs, and nearly all these cases were confined to the states east of the Mississippi river. Last year New York had more cases of hydrophobia than any other state. It headed the list with 699 persons bitten by mad dogs or animals presumed to'be mad. Georgia was second with 486, Ohio third with 410. and South Caro line fourth with 350. Addresses on "Occupational Neuro sis” and "The Public School as a Pos sible Factor in Preventing Infant and Child Mortality” were delivered by Thos. A. Williams, of Washington, and Dr. Henry' L. Celt, of Newark. N. J. Dr. Williams said that “neurosis Is a misnomer, for those of occupation are strictly psycho-dynamic Inhibitions of disorders in the habitual series of co ordinated associations gained by educa tion in some art. A want of harmony in the controlling of the mechanism is the fault, and the disharmony' is always psychological.” Dr. Williams is a spe cialist in nervous diseases who has been honored by membership In several French societies. He showed the necessity' of address ing the treatment to the psyche or the mind of the patient. “It is not an inca pacity' of muscle and nerves to perform their functions.” he said, “for this is intact except for performing the par ticular professional acts which fail." Four of the cases described by Dr. Williams were those of writers’ cramp, the commonest occunation "neurosis.” Checking Infant Mortality. Dr. Ceit proposed, as a comprehen sive plan to check sickness and death among infants and young children, that to the Manchester plan for "little moth ers” shall be added the French plan, and that the “consultation for moth ers” shall be conducted within the pub lic school and finally become a part of its system. "The best means of preventing sick ness and death,” he said, "would be to raise the living power of the individ ual to what is called Immunity. If we could apply this principle to infancy and childhood, through educational and pro phylactic measures, we would bring about the greatest possible physical ef ficiency in manhood and womanhood. “While physicians have led in this crusade against infant mortality, it is strictly a problem in preventive medi cine and. therefore, clearly- to be solved by educational methods which should be applied by the people (the state) at the expense of the people and for the people.” VANITY BOXES FOR POLICE TO AID BEAUTY IN DISTRESS VENICE.

JORDAN DIES IN CHAIR CALMLY “Hope My Death Will Do the World Some Good,” Says Wife Slayer. BOSTON, Sept. 24.—Chester S. Jor dan. brother-in-law of Jesse L. Liver more. the Wall Street cotton broker, was executed at 12:09:13 this morning in the electric chair at the state prison in Charlestown for the murder of his actress wife, Honora Jordan, at their home in Somerville on September 1, 1908. He went to the chair after more than $1,000,000 had been expended in a vain attempt to save his life. He walked to the chair unaided and unmoved. G. Leonard McNeil, a Christian Sci ence reader, who acted as his spiritual adviser, acompanied him. An hour before his death he sent for Sheriff John R. Fairbairn, of the East Cambridge jail, in whose keeping he had been for four years. To Sher iff Fairbairn, Jordan said: “Sheriff, I am ready to die. I hope that I have done some good in this world and that my death will do the world some good. Thank you. Good bye." Jordan’s aged mother, who ,1s fast losing her sight, is prostrated at her home in Somerville and is being at tended by a physician. Jordan's body may be cremated. The remains will be buried in the family lot at Crown Hill cemetery, Indianap olis, Ind., where his family resided for many years before coming to Somer ville. A touching scene was enacted after the body of Jordan had been lifted from the chair to the post mortem table by the guards. Mr. McNeil took the flow ers that Jordan’s mother had brought him, first folded Jordan’s arms and then placed the flowers on his breast. This he followed with a prayer for the dead, while the guards and newspaper men stood about with bared heads. M. RICH & BROS. CO.
