I the husband had a number of witnesses

to establish the fact that he was in Union all the time. The coroner stated that he has heard the greatest portion of the evidence and believes the woman committed suicide. He said, however, that the contents of the woman's stomach has not been analyzed as the county makes no provision for such procedure. "I asked the family to bear the expense or having the contents of the stomach taken to a laboratory and examined." stated the coroner. This suggestion was not followed out. The information said to have prompted the grand Jury probe is to the effect that the body of the woman showed she had been beaten "about the breast and shoulders and that the door was locked from the outside, the key being left above the door while all windows were shut and screens in place. The theory is that some one had been in the house with the woman prior to her death.. Dr. B. W. Chidlow, coroner's physician, who conducted the post mortem, has been subpoenaed to appear before the grand jury. Hammond Ball Park.

PUBLIC MISTAKES QUAIJFICATIONS (By United Frtu.) WASHINGTON. D. C. July 6. "In view of the tendency on the part of well qualified men under 31 and men without military experience to hold their applications for the second series of officers training camps because of apparent misunderstanding of the war department's memorandum of information, dnted June 3. 1917. General McCain, the adjutant issued the following statement today: . "The statement that mature men will be given, preference for the second series of officers training camps seems to have ben misunderstood in some quarters. This preference will only apply where qualifications are equal. There Is no Intention to bar out applications by men under 31. In fact, examining o.Ticers have been instructed to regard the ages 25 to 35 most suitable. There is also some misunderstanding about the necessity of previous militar ycxperience. The gornmnt is looking primarily tor intelligent and forceful men and military experience, though desirable, is not strictly necessary." Applications for these camps will close July 15th.
