Authorities WJfking on the Theory ThAt 1 Davis Was Assisted in the Killing of Frank Bourne.

EXAMINE WITNESSES AT CAMDEN FRIDAY John Bourne of Middletown, Cousin of Murdered Man, Takes Steps to Settle Up Estate. (Palladium Special) EATON. O., June 12 Notwithstanding the fact that no evidence has been yet found to detract their suspicions from El wood Davis, 53, charged with the murder of Frank Bourne, 48, county officials late Wednesday heard the name of another man mentioned in connection with the case, which thus far appears the most mysterious ever coming to light in Preble county. The man mentioned is said to have been quite- an intimate friend of Davis, and was in his company a great deal. Since the discovery of Bourne's body and the subsequent arrest of Davis, so the report says, this man has disappeared. Prosecutor Gilmore stated today that he had previously heard the man's name mentioned, and declared that an investigation will follow to determine the facts. Pleads Not Guilty. Apparently unaffected by the charge against him and the predicament into which he has been thrown, Davis was taken from the county jail Wednesday and arraigned before Mayor George H. Kelly. He pleaded not guilty and was returned to jail without bond. The mayor fixed next Saturday morning as the date for a preliminary hearing. Further Investigation. Sheriff Ed. B. Werts went to the Bourne home Thursday for the purpose of making a thorough search of the house in an endeavor to determine whether the crime had been committed within the walls of the dwelling. He stated that the possible finding of blood spots might aid materially in fixing the crime. Bourne, possessing many peculiarities, is known to have seldom used a bed when he retired. He simply took off his shoes and, rolling up in a blanket, stretched out upon the floor. With this information it is believed by authorities that the crime was committed as he lay thus sleeping. An examination of the body by Coroner H. Z. Silver showed BourneVskull to have been fractured, apparently by some blunt instrument. Special Grand Jury. Although he had not fully determined what action he will take, Prosecutor Gilmore today announced that he would doubtless appeal to Common Pleas Judge Abel C. Risinger for the drawing of a special grand jury to make an investigation. Should this action be taken the investigators will be eummoned for duty about two weeks hence. .Coroner Silver will hold an investigation Friday afternoon in the (Continued on Paj-eSEight.) SEP? The Rapid Spread of Advertising News. Many of the household articles in daily use in our homes, many of the perfected ideas in wearing apparel, and much of the advanced thought in living today would, not now be benefiting humanity were it not for the advertising in newspapers like The Palladium. As a concrete example much to the point, a prominent manufacturer and distributor of a foot-form shoe for children a shoe of special construction and down-to-the-date features recently advertised in twenty of the principal cities east of the Mississippi River for a period of four weeks. At the end of that time he experienced such a demand for this shoe that he has been unable to fill his orders on time for many weeks. The public who read his advertisements in an incredibly short time learned, to its profit, about something that benefited It, somehting that filled a real need, and responded by practically doubling the manufacturer's business. By this systematic series of advertisements the producer, the retailer, and the consumer were helped. This is just one case. There are hundreds like It. Circulation More Than 7,900

Complete disarmament of the semicivilized tribes in the southern Philippines, as a final step towards permanent peace in the archipelago, is the object of the attack upon the Moros which Brig. Gen. Pershing began today. , In the north disarmament has been effected peaceably and it has been hoped that through the godd" offices of the Sultan of Jolo the savage Mohammedan tribes in the Jolo group and in Minandano might likewise be induced to give up their weapons. Force Only Means of Success. Negotiations were carried on with the various dattos with the active sympathy and support of the Sultan of Jolo, but recent advices made it appear that the disarmament policy could be carried out only by force.

The itinerary arranged includes all the principal mines on both the Cabin Creek and Pain Creek spurs of the railroad. Attorneys for both operators and miners accompanied the committee. Before starting for the hills the committee heard one witness on the subject of interference with the postal service. John Goldsborough testified that his letters had been opened at High Coal post office in the Boomer mine field. Testimony has been heard from two members of the military committee, which at three different times has assumed dominion over one hundred and fifty miles of West Virginia territory. They were Captain Charles R. Morgan, a lawyer, and Major James I. Pratt, who was president of the second military court which took charge of the strike district. Supreme Court Only Appeal. Senator Borah elicited that Captain Morgan, as a lawyer, believed there was no appeal from the decision of the commission if approved by the governor, except to the supreme court of the United States. "Then a man did not have to commit a statutory offense to make himself amenable to the action of your commission?" Attorney Monnet asked. "No." "You could arraign him for anything that, in your estimation, was an offense?" "Yes, except that the governor's proclamation specified statutory offenses." Senator Martine ascertained that after the commission had heard the testimony in a case it went into secret session, executed sealed findings after the manner of a verdict, and sent them to the governor. Then the poor devil did not know what you had done with him until he was gobbled up and carted away to the (Continued on Page Three)

June 12 --- The statement .of Secretary of Treasury McAdoo that $500,000,000 of emergency currency is ready for issue under the Aldrich Vreeland act. whenever required, was seized upon today by opponents of new currency legislation during the present session as an argument in favor of their position. The law has been on the statute books for five years. During a meeting of the banking and currency committee today Senators O'Gormon and Hitchcock op-

posed immediate legislation and as- Dr. W. V. Zimmerman is reinserted that the existing law was amply tained in the verdict of Coroner

broad to cover all emergencies that mivht bHa until frkricrttftA has time i to consider new legislation leisurely and thoroughly. McAdoo Volunteers Aid. Secretary McAdoo had been called upon to consider the new currency measure now being drafted. His tion is perhaps indicated by the weapon he voluntarily placed in the bands of members of congress who are fighting the administration's demand for new currency laws. Secretary McAdoo today told the president that the statement of the treasury department, that it stands ready to -furnish enough money effec tually to stop any incipient financial panic, had nothing to do with the weak condition of the stock market. He said it was merely a coincidence. He said he had received a number of inquiries from banks and issued the statement as a precaution and not because there wfts any reason to fear a panic at this time. Market Much Easier.
