NEIGHBOR RESCUES THEM Chimney, Closed by Soot, Ex- plains Accumulation of Car- bon Monoxide. CUMBERLAND, Md., Feb. 22.—The mystery which, for more than two years has shrouded the deaths of Charles Twigg and Grace Elosser in the “mys- tery room” of the Elosser home, Dec. a1, 1910, on their wedding eve, has been solved by a near-repetition of the trag- edy. Two women, the present occu- pants of the Elosser residence, were overcome yesterday in the “mystery room’’ by carbon monoxide gas, due to a clogged chimney, and were dragged out of the house into the fresh air just in time to save their lives. Carbon monoxide gas was suggested TAFT SAYS WASHINGTON WASN’T A MOLLYCODDLE Praises Father of Country for Red Blood and Ability to Use Language Not Elegant. WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—President Taft met Amos T. Fisher, 88 years old, at a reception given by Masons of the Alexandria-Washington lodge in Alex- andria, Va. “I’m glad to meet you, Mr. Presi- dent,” said Fisher. “I fought in the Mexican War.” “I’m glad to know you, Amos,” re- piled the President, ‘‘because I am trying my best to avert another one.”’ The reception preceded a meeting of the committee in charge of the col- lection of a fund to erect a memorial Masonic Temple to George Washington. The President made a speech eulogiz- ing the father of his country, saying that when he had just cause for anger he used language that wasn’t “‘elegant”’ and displayed his red blcod. He said Washington was no mollycoddle. DOE KILLED BY BOY TO Seventh Conviction Is Returned Against Hunting Party of New Jersey Deacon. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Feb. 22.— A seventh conviction, at $100 a count, was found against the hunting party of James Henry Mason, millionaire realty broker, and deacon of the St. Paul's M. E. Church, for violations of the State game law. If the County Court sustains the decisions of Mag- istrate Jagmetty, the killing of a young doe by George, one of Mason's sons, will cost his father $1200, not including the court costs. Mason will appeal. The conviction was the third against the elder Mason, who grew angry when Assistant Attorney-General Striker accused him of breaking the law. “T’ll swear on a Bible as big as a house that I was not hunting. We were after pheasant,” the deacon re- plied. “And you admit you took three hounds and no bird dogs, carried buckshot and one of your party killed a deer?” “Yes,” MAN STOPS AUTOPSY ARRANGED FOR HIM Return of Missing One Releases Cousins Held for His Al- leged Murder. WALDRON, Ark., Feb. 22.—While a body, supposed to be that of Luke Neeley of Parks, was being exhumed today to further investigate the murder of the man, Neeley appeared on the scene and his cousins, Robert and James Shore, with whom the suposed dead man had last been seen, were released from custody. They had been arrested and lodged in jail here, charged with killing Neeley, who had been at work at Grannie. Ne¢éley disappeared Dec. 13. The body found had a bullet hole in the back and had been disfigured answered the defendant. COST MILLIONAIRE $1200) as a theoretical solution of the mys- tery during the days of investigation following the tragedy, but no tests were made and the theory remained only a theory. Latterly the house has been occupied by Mrs Marshall Willison and Mrs. Fearl Mangold, sisters. When a neigh- bor called yesterday there was no re- sponse to the knock at the door. Others were called and the house was entered and the sisters were found unconscious in the room in which Twigg and Miss Elosser met their death. The room was filled with the carbon monoxide gas. After the women regained con- sciousness they could only remember that a drowsiness had crept over them as they sat in the room. Chimney Closed by Soot. An investigation of the chimney dis- closed that some bricks had been placed in it to diminish the draft and that accumulation of soot had almost closed the aperture, preventing the escape of the polsonous gas. The Twigg-Elosser tragedy, because of the romantic circumstances and the mystery as to the cause of death, at- tracted the attention of the entire coun- try. The couple were to have been married on New Year’s day. Twigg called the night before and he and Miss Elosser were in the parlor telking’ over the plans for the morrow. After a time their voices were hushed and when a member of the family looked into the room they were found seated side by side on the sofa dead. Poisoned Kiss Is Theory. In the excitement caused by the discovery of the presence of the gas was not noticed, and among the theories suggested was one that a “poisoned kiss” had caused death. It was based on the supposition that ‘prussic acid had been administered by Trigg to Miss Elosser in this manner, without her knowledge. +A suggested motive was unpleasant- ness which had arisen from the fact that Twigg had been engaged to Miss May Elosser before he became en- gaged to her sister. Mrs. Elosser knew that gas some- times accumulated in the house and offered the gas theory but it re- mained for the mishap to the two women to demonstrate the correct- ness of her theory. POLICE HURRY TO SAVE A FAIR MAIDEN—HOAXED Owner of Home Suspects Love- Despondent Butler Wrote Mysterious Message. Detectives and patrolmen hurried to the home of Frank B. Northrup, 4004 Lindell boulevard, Friday night, expect- ing to rescue some maiden fair said to be in dire distress. The trip was made after a small box was found at Eight- eenth and Wash streets, on which was written: “A girl is in distress at 4004 Lindell boulevard. Please telephone Lin- dell 2771.”’ Night Chief Gillaspy sent Detectives Howard and Flynn and Sergt. Haggerty with two patrolmen from the Newstead Avenue Station. Northrup assured the officers there was no girl at his home in distress and none absent except one maid servant out on a social expedition. He suspects the message is the result of a butler being discharged because he became despondent and neglected his work after a maid servant in the house by wolves.

Feb. ” i Aseerianne returning from St. Moritz via Paris, are a little bit ashamed to admit where they have been. The fashionable resort for winter sports appears to have gone a little too far this season in its desire to let ev- eryone do as he pleased.

The tight cling- ing skirt, now the fashionable thin, does not lend itself to, the acrobatic steps of many of these dances, the ro sult being that skirts are carried over the arm and the display of ankle is overgenerous. Modest Bloomer Disappears. On the ice and snow runs and on the slopes where coasting is practiced, the bloomer, modestly covered by a skirt, has been discarded in favor of skin-tight knickerbockers, with no other drapery. Tight jerseys and sweaters are the rage. The audacity of the costumes is not to be equaled, except in a few of the varie- ty theaters of Montmartre. The snowy slopes have the apearance of a not too particular comic operetta. Bizarre colors, extravagant shapes and scantiness of drapery are the features of the fashions at St. Moritz this year. Watching from remote corners are to be found the more respectable members of the community who acknowredge fur- tively the salutations of their acquaint- ances as though ashamed to be caught in such doubtful surroundings. “Isn’t this the limit?’’ “Thank the Lord, my girls are at Grindelakald.

ARTIST STONE’S BROTHER Latter Has Filed Divorce Bill on Unusual Ground of Sex Antagonism. Mrs. Gladys Dee Stone, who has filed suit for divorce from Cola Edgar Stone, of 4145 Lindell boulevard, says that Battery A was a formidable rival of hers for the attention of her husban4 and that he spent much of his time in a clubroom connected with the bat- tery. She also charges him with spending much of his time in an automobile fur- nished by a coffee firm employing him as a salesman, in joyriding at night to places where a variety of beverages was served. Her formal charge against her husband is nonsupport. Mrs. Stone says she does not know what goes on nightly at Battery A, but is informed there is a club room in the immediate vicinity frequented by members of the Battery out of which they come at a late hour. Her hus- tand, according to. Mrs. Stone, spent much more time at the Battery and the club room annex than he did at home. At the home of her father, Adolp Cook, 725 Academy avenue, Mrs. Stone told a reporter for the Post-Dispatch that she married Stone in Clayton Oct 14, 1911, and they separated Jan. 20, 19138.

Mrs. Stone said she begged her husband not to leave her at such a time and pleaded with him to remain near her, at least not to leave the city, merely for pleasure. She says he refused to change his plans, and went away, returning three weeks later, the night the boy was born. Mrs. Stone says her husband lost by neglect, a brokerage business he obtained after they were married. Then, she says, he became a sales- man for a coffee house and most of the mileage made by the machine furnished to him was made after dark when her husband went joy riding. Stone fs a brother of Lewis P. Stone, widely known in St. Louis, New York and Paris as an artist and art critic. The wife of Lewis P. Stone left him a month ago and he has brought sult on the unusual charge of sex antag- onism. He says after several years of happy tnarried life his wife developed a violent aversion to him, coincident with an infatuation for another man with whom he found her. Vital W. Garesche, who has been re- tained by Stone to contest the suit, says every allegation made by Mrs. Stone is denied by her husband and will be contested in court. He says his client desires to become reconciled with his wife on account of their baby boy, Richard, who was seven months old the day his mother filed suit for di- vorce. “I think my troubles are mostly a case of too much father-in- law,” said Mrs. Stone. “The father of my husband Canoe that the caretaker, fire. canoes, LOG CABIN CANOE CLUBHOUSE BURNS, CARETAKER DIES Samuel Fay Fatally Injured in Fire on Meramec River, Near Valley Park.

TROOPS RUSH FOR TRAINS TO-GALVESTON, ia Four Regiments of hr fantry, Some Cavalry, En- gineers, and Artillery on By Associated Presa, WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.—The Fifth brigade, Second division of the reor- | ganized army, consisting of four in- — fantry regiments, commanded by Brig- edier-General F. A. Smith, has been ordered to Galveston, Tex., to be in readiness to embark for foreign service. There is no present purpose, officials say, of dispatching the troops from Galveston to Mexico. Today's order is simply one of the steps taken to have the troops ready for any emergency. In fact it is intimated that one of the purposes is to provide President Wil- son with the proper facilities to carry out any plan he may have in contem- plation regarding the Mexican situation, but the movement, of course, does not commit him in any way to @ poliey of forcible intervention, _ m, The regiments affected by this new crder are the Fourth infantry, Fort Crook, Neb., and Fort Snelling, Minn., the Seventh at Fort Leavenworth, the Nineteenth at Fort Leavenworth, Fort Meade, 8. D., and Fort Sill, Ok., and the Twenty-eighth infantry at Fort Snelling. Begin to Arrive Sunday.

Supplementing the infantry regiments there will be attached to the expedition- ary force a company of engineers, from either the Second or Third Battalion, in the discretion of Gen. Carter; Field Hospital Corps, No. 3, and Ambulance Company, No. 3, and D Company, Big- nal Corps, all now stationed at Fort — Leavenworth, Kan. A sufficient artillery force has al- ready been attached to the brigade in the Fourth Field Artillery (mounted), stationed at Fort D. A. Russell, Wyo. These orders should bring the Fifth Brigade, assembled at Galveston, up to an effective strength of about 300 men, The troops will be temporarily sta- tioned at Fort Crocket on Galveston Island, and the supply depot will be es- tablished at Texas City. Today's order to the infantry prob- ably will be followed soon by another order to Gen. Carter to assemble at Galveston the Second cavalry division, commanded by Brigadier-General Tas- ker H. Bliss.
