SAID TO HAVE QUARRELED
Death Is Still
Mystery of Her
Not Solved by the
Police.
By Private Utwt Wire.
New York. June 12.—After four daV*
of unceasing police effort the veil of
n.yetery enveloping the murder of Mre.
Allot C. D. Kinnan, on the veranda of
the Stenton mansion In Ihe Bronx hue
been lifted eufficiently to reveal—not
a solutl .it o( the ease, but a new and
darkly Inexplicable tangle of clrcum
•tan. os.
Today the Investigation center* about
the most pathetic ngure In the tragedy,
bln. Louise Stenton, mother of the
•loin woman. Virtually a prisoner In
the stately old aeml-ruln of the colo
nial homestead, which has been occu
pied by the family for thirty years, the
police are confident that she knows
aa. i. about the tragedy than has been
a tea- ed from her self-contradictory,
In arterial statements.
V. , because of her advanced age,
they Agitated to question her upon
so. - r iinew points which make the case
today more sensational and surpris
ing than before.
Thu detectives are convinced now
th.-i- Mrs. Kinnan must have been
wounded within the mansion and that
• la fell dying on the veranda while
flo. in* from her aeeassln. They base
tliir theory on the statement of Mrs.
Mary Shipp.', one of the tenants In
the basement of the house.
.Mia. Shlppo sat at the window fac
the veranda steps. No one aecen
those steps, she says, prior to the time
w h. ii she heard the fall of the mur
der.-I woman’s body on the dark
u i h in as a neighborhood nuisance, did
n..t bark until after tile finding of Mrs.
KI n nan’s body.
Mrs. Shlppo, In her story to the po
ll. • declares that'Mrs. Stenton and
M i, Kinnan not only quarreled, but ac
tually exchanged blows.
The detectives, have found, near the
ro.i entrance to the mansion, a hatch-
ci stained apparently with blood, and
with a long dark hair stuck to Its
head. Until Mrs. Shlppo and Mrs. Sten-
t..n deny ownership of the hatchet.
it has been learned that mother
and .laughter made reciprocal wills, but
Unit, f ir some reraon, the papers were
nut signed. On the day of the tragedy
ir,.OM bail been placed In bank to the
credit of Mrs. Kinnan.

1 Philadelphia, Pn., June 15.—The most
i Imp .riant evidence In the hearing be
fore the Interstate commerce commls-
sb.n today was the production of the
list- of ehareholders of the Keystone

Mr. Cochran. In charge of the Ber-

i eoinew hat vague on some polnte and
beyond the fact that the Pennsylvania
Railroad did a good deal of work for
the Uerwlnd-Whlte Company, little of
Impiirtance was elicited from him.
The same wae true of the testimony
of Hilbert Williams, assistant to the
rup.Tlntendent' of the Berwtnd-Whlte

had largely to do with methods. Their

Mr*. Shepard Walker and twenty-
five witnesses to back up the charge
of cheating and awlndllng brought
against her, were at Justice Ormond's
court Monday afternoou.
I The ease Is one of many witnesses

tltlons person. Borne claim she solic
ited money for the purpose of bury
ing tho son of Widows McAfee, Jen
kins and Smith. The donatloni range
from twenty-five cents up, and ao ex
tensive and successful were her op

In to aid in finding out who the widow
was and whether she needed funds
for the burial of her son. A war
rant was sworn out for her by Offl-
ter Kilpatrick.
■i.iatlce Ormond was able to hear

Too ton at 2 o’clock to hear

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.
pic, 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 Hamuej M. Lowry,
—nprletor of the Bell pharmacy, at No.
South Pryor streot.
Mr. Lowry Is a very quiet mannered
man, and those he has gathered about
him in his drug' store are of the same
Ilk. They aro not slangy,, and they
see nothing funny In their telephone
number, Main tl, than which few are
more popular. For Mr. Lowry or any
of his clerks to make any change In
their telephone number would bo to
surrender to what they consider vulga
rism of Ihe worst sort, so .they are
now looking for.the firm that manufac
tures skldoo preparations, while the
Ice cream man Is doing his best to con
coct a skldoo flavoring extract that will
skldoo with competition.
Night after night hae been coming
the call:
’is this 23?”
"Yes.”
“Not really? Well, skldoo for yours."
Constitutionally opposed to slang, the
rlerks at the Bell pharmacy could not
fall back on profanity, bo the night
men could only go to bed to contem
plate the meaning of such queer words
aa "skldoo for yours."
Monday night there seemed to be
. t of sickness In the n<
the Bell pharmacy, and
kept busy for a long time.
"Hello, la this 22?"
"Well, I'd like some Skldoo pills,
please."
Another call followed shortly:
"Twenty-three?"
"Yes.” ,
"Send me some Skldoo pain, please.'
The clerk was getting wrathy, os h.
did not know of the new medicines,
and ; he feared that*'his competitors
would get ahead of him. Another call
'Twenty-three T’
•Yes."
i‘d like a large bottle of Fat-Skldno.
please—haven't It? Well, send along
a large'bottle of Antl-Skldoo for the
hair."
The clerk waa about getting ready to
go to the telephone office acroea the
street and ask the names of his callers,
when the bell long rfgsln:
"Twenty-three 7”
"Yes.”
"Who Is that?”
•This Is Mr. Jones."
"Mr. Skldoo? Well, how Is Mrs.
Skldoo and all the little Skldoos at

New York, June 13.—It Is said on
good authority In Wall street that Col-
oned Gate Hoyt soon Is to retire from
the directorate of the Missouri, Kansas

The best Impression In well Informed

will be, a change of control In this
property, and that Mr. Hoyt's retire
ment will be followed by others.
Interests affiliated with James J. Hill
are credited with being heavy pur

end In another fight 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

After a fight In council and council
committee, the commltteo of the Evan
gelical Association of Atlanta succeed
ed In defeating the efforts of the liquor
men to get Into MltchtU street. The
council at the time decided to refuse
these licenses for one year, which Is up

by the saloon men to get the licenses
which they were refused In 1346.

LIQUOR LICENSE
FIGHT STILL ON
Many meetings, all of more or less
Importance, will be held by the coun

Important meetings Is to be held Wed

tax committee. The two ordinances
presented at the last session of coun

quire* that there shall be no business
connections between wholesale and re
tail liquor dealers. The other places
the tame restrictions on the wholesaler
as on the retailer, such as consent
from neighbors, before a wholesale li
quor business can be opened up.
The real fight at the meeting wilt be
over the proposed raise In the whole
sale liquor license from 2244 to 3544.
This matter has been before the com
mlttee at every meeting since the fram
ing of the 1444-'47 tax ordinance be
