MENTIONED IN MURDER CASE

Authorities Working on the Theory That Davis Was Assisted in the Killing of Frank Bourne.

(Continue'! from Fage One.)

Where Murderer Buried Bourne's Body

city hall at Camden, and already twelve witnesses have been summoned. Will Settle Estate. John E. Bourne, or Middletown, cousin of the murdered man, was here Wednesday and took a few preliminary steps toward settling up the estate and arranging for disposition of the body. He was appointed administrator of the estate and gave bond in the sum of $2,000, twice the amount of the value placed upon the chattels remaining at the Bourne farm. He will

later doubtless ask to be given the authority to dispose of the farm. While no appraisement has been made of the land it has been figured that the 100 acres are worth $6,500 or $65 per acre. Trace Bonds. Bourne was known to have held two government bonds, and it was at first thought these might have been stolen by perpetrators of the crime, but officials have succeeded in tracing them down and find that they were given in lieu of cash in two business transactions. The officials think there is no doubt but that Davis alone appropriated all the money derived from the sale of chattels belonging to Bourne, who, Davis claims, ordered the Bale. Since the finding of the body and search of records it is clearly shown that the sale was held many months after Bourne's murder.

Plenty of Money, Further investigation at Camden and immediate vicinity tends to show that Davis for some time had plenty of money. While he did anything but squander cash it is said he could produce the money when he really needed it. Davis has lately complained of his stomach and had been taking treatments from a Cincinnati physician specializing with this ailment. These treatments cost $12 each. Tell-Tale Letters. But with all the small bits of evidence at hand, it is entirely probable that Davis never would have been suspected had it not been for two letters he is alleged to have written. One was received by John E. Bourne, the cousin, and the other by Davis. These communications, postmarked Hamilton, May 24, were exactly the same in substance and told of the murder, robbing and burial of Bourne by Italians while he was In the South, presumably at Jackson, Miss., where Davis said he had gone to buy a sawmill. It was later learned that Davis was in Hamilton on that particular day, and his arrest followed. A sample of his penmanship bears an unusual resemblance to that in both letters.

Wants School Boards in Alaska

A Territorial board of education and two superintendents of schools are asked for by the Alaska legislature in a memorial just transmitted to Congress. The petition recites that although Alaska now has a white population of about 40,000 with :;,000 children attending the 42 white publkschools, 'there is as yet no Territorial board of education, examining board, or superintendents to govern such schools." The legislature asks that the board of education be made up of the governor, secretary and treasurer of the Territory, and that it appoint the two superintendents of schools. The board is to have power to grant Territorial "education diplomas," "life diplomas,"

and "first-grade certificates" to proper

ly qualified teachers. It is specified.

however, that normal-school diplomas or state certificates from any of the

states in the Union shall be accepted as satisfactory evidence of fitness to teach in the Alaskan schols. Would-be teachers in Alaska are to be axamined in much the same subjects as teachers in the various state" algebra, geography, history, etc; but particular stress is to be laid upon hygiene, "with special reference to the nature and effects of alcoholic drinks and other narcotics and stimulants upon the human system." The action sought by the Alaska legislature from Congress is for the white schools alone. The native schools in the Territory are directly under the control of the National Government, through the Bureau of Education.

For the purpose of inspecting wheat fields W. J. Phillips, of I-afayette. connected with the United States bureau of entomology, will visit Wayne county the latter part of this week or the first of next. Farmers in this county declare that the wheat never was in

Tomorrow is Friday the thirteenth of June, 1913. Are you superstitious? Is Friday a hoodoo day for you? Are you afraid of the number thirteen? If so you will get undr the covers to-

I night with gloomy forebodings for the

morrow. For many Friday is not so bad, taken alone, neither is thirteen, but the two taken together with another thirteen thrown in makes even the most stolid uneasy. If it were not only Friday the thirteenth, the two hoodoos might be cancelled by mathematical process, but there is still another thirteen to be reckoned with. If you are really superstitious you can not dodge your bad luck tomorrow. There is no use to try. Now what may happen? Suppose you decide to stay at home In bed all day, your wife- might turn the hose on you for being a lazy good-for-nothing; the house might burn; a. tornado might carry your cot into the next world, a flood might sweep you from the face of the earth; or the earth might quake and swallow you, house and all. Better get up. That is hardly safe either. One of your first desires would be to eat something. The cook might put hydrochloric acid in your coffee because you still owed her last week's wages; you might get ptomaine poisoning from r"""r he steak. Better not eat any breakfast

icok out, there, that glass of water contains billions of germs. Be careful as you drive to the office, the car might skid, the steering gear might break, the carburator might back-fire and set the car ablaze. Be careful, though. A runaway street car, a recklessly driven auto, or a mo

torcycle may run you down. A brickmason might drop a brick on your head. You may lose your pocketbook. In short any one of thousands of things may happen but the odds are overwhelmingly. against their happening. Really Friday the thirteenth of June, 1913, will be no different from any other day in the year on which these things are just as liable to happen. But if you are superstitious how nervous you are going to be.

Variable Tides.

A great difference exists in the range of the rise and fall of the tides between the Atlantic and Pacific side of the isthmus of Panama. The mean level of the oceans is the same on both sides, but at Colon the mean range from high to low water is only about , seven inches, whereas at Panama it is more than twelve feet. This great difference is explained by the existence of a tidal obstruction, which prevents the Atlantic tide from entering the Caribbean sea. Panama, on the other

hand, lies at one coi ner of the triangular area of the north Pacific ocean, and in areas of that shape the range of tide is usually great at the corners.
