MYSTERY DEATH hicago Authormes Discount Theory of Maid’s Suicide Mter Attack on Mistress. amhe Assoctated Presi: CHICAGO, April 4—~What at first Ifiwud to be an nmmpud murder d turned today aged women—a wealthy widow : her maid—were. found in the for- mer’s apartment yesterday. The Mrs. Ida Peterson, was dead, & b knife plunged in her neck; her mistress, Mrs. Helen Kelso, 70, was near death from hammer blows. The first theory of police was that the maid, 67, had beaten Mrs. Kelso over the head with a hammer and then had taken her own life. Mrs. Peterson, who had been a maid for Mrs. Kelso for 27 years, at one time was an inmate of the State Hospital for the Insane and suf- fered from what her physician e‘!lcd “recurrent maniac depression.” The physician, Dr..Ji Gill, said he hlc not seén the maid some time, lmt he thought her cmdi!hn had improved. . Suicide ‘l'heory' Doubted. ctflmm stances tending ‘to contradict thé murder-suicide theory were found by investigators for the coroner’s office. Physicians _expressed doubt that the maid would have had sufficient strength 1o have plunged the knife into her neck | p with such force as to break off part of the blade. They also adduced from the | where they blood that flowed.from both that Mrs. Kelso may have been attacked after the maid hnd been 'slain. The maid’s body was found on & bed in her own room. A blood-covered ham- mer lay on the floor nearby. Mrs. Kelso, fully clothed, was found on the floor of her bedroom. Her skull was fractured and she was unconscious. She had not regained ‘consciousness early today and there were only slight hopes for her recovery. Neighbors Become Alarmed. Mrs. Kelso's husband was Charles G. L. Kelso, wealthy manufacturer of ! "' Belleville, Ontario. The attacks apparently took place | some time Tuesday, but were not dis- covered until neighbors, alarmed at the continued silence, notified police, who forced an entrance. WOMAN INSTRUCTORS FOR BOYS DEFENDED “Mixed Schmll: Idea Is Upheld at Tondon Obntmnce—Athlehc Supenonfrh Cited. By ‘the Associated Press. LONDON, April 4.—Vigorous_replies were forthco! yesterday to declara- tions in the conference of the National Union of Schoolmasters that teaching byuwomen in boys’ schools was a bad polic Mrs. Leah Manning, vice president of the National Union of Teachers, which includes both sexes, declared that the 16-year-old boys in the open-air school at ;Cambridge, of which she is head- ‘mistress, play & good game of foot ball, although "the “whole staff is feminine. She said she did not believe in foot ball for women, but woman teachers all over the country “can and do teach boys how to play the game.” Miss Essle Ruth-Conway of Liverpool, former president of the National Union of Teachers, firmly believes that the ‘management of boys_and girls is in no degree a matter of sex. She quoted the case of boy foot ball players from a “mixed cshool,” controlled by women, who won the school Jeague champion- ship twice consecutively. ‘These statements had more direct re- lation to the schoolmasters’ charges that supervision of boyx games was a Job for men only. Prank Goldstone, Labor member of Parliament, condemned the criticism of woman teachers &s merely “foolish propaganda.” mmw PED -ARCHO % : Arch-Supporting SHOES Smart Style for Spring are combined with comfort and featured at $ W’w’ammn | | !
