Wives of Cabinet Members Join The Boycotting Hen Fruit Mrs. Bryan Endorses The Movement and Joins. Monster Petition Bearing Five Thousand Names to Be Presented to Conqress Fif teen Thousand Housewives Join Boycott. By Associated Press Washington, Dec. 5. Eggs are to be banished from the tables in the homes of nearly all the cabinet members whose wives have pledged their sup port to the egg boycott campaign which is being waged to reduce the price. One of the first to give her approval and join the movement was Mrs. William Jennings Bryan, wife oi the secretary of state. "Any subject that touches the home touches the heart of every woman, whoever she is," is what Mrs. Bryan told Mrs. Ellis Logan, a leader in "the boycott movement here when she call c d upon Mrs. Bryan to obtain her sup pert. Mrs. Bryan assured Mrs. Logan she was in thorough accord with the movement. Following Mrs. Bryan's lead nearly all the other cabinet wives have join ed the effort to bring lower (gg pric es. Pledges have . been obtained from Mrs. Lindley M. Garrison, wife of the secretary of war; Mrs. Albert S. Bur leson, vife of the postmaster genera!; j Mrs. David F. Houston, wife of the sec- retary of agriculture, and Mrs. William B. Wilson, wife of the secretary of la bor. A monster petition is being prepar ed with which congress is to be storm ed by Mrs. Logan and her co-workers. It is expected that by next Monday night more than 5,000 names will have been signed to the document. Mrs. Logan declares that already 15,000 Washington housewives have joined the movement. It is planned, the club women say, to impress congress with the need for legislation that will bring about lower food prices. ic-ic u u v f " ? 'i r--i v--v i-'A--v r - f .

Snow continued falling this morn ing and with overcast sky it seem ed that little abatement of the storm could be hoped for during the day. Towns from the central and southern nnrtions of Colorado reported a con tinuation of one of the worst snow Coroner Hovis, who has been en gaged in the investigation of the mur der of B. B. Carter almost continuous ly since last Sunday, without arriving at any definite conclusion as to the perpetrator of the deed, will call his jury together again this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, at which time Solicitor George W. Wilson will be present. It 19 considered probable that, after con sulfation with the solicitor, Coroner Hovis will take definite action rela tive to Brady McNelis and Nick John son, the enly persons now being held as suspects, and wrill either release them cr decide on what grounds they can be held. No new evidence was obtained yes, terday or last night that would tend to throw light on the mystery. . No inti mation has been given by any witness as to the identity of three men who went into Carter's room about 4:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon, just as a prominent citizen of the county, an uncle of Carter's, was leaving the rcom. iney were seen by another gen tleman who accompanied Carter's un cle, but neither of them had ever seen the trio before and have not seen them since. The police and Coroner Hovis are trying to find a witness who could say who the three men were, where they live, what their business with Carter was, how long they stayed in his rcom, and whether Carter was still all right when they left. Until these three men are found or some one is found who can give some inti mation as to who they were, there is likely to be no further progress toward the solution of the mystery," for the reason that the authorities have ex hausted every resource toward con necting ih&&if4m with the murder, but are still not sat isfied as to their exact connection with the case. One of; the difficulties of the case is that of accounting for the num ber of people that might have gone up to Carter's room and the apartments on Saturday afternoon without attract ing attention. The one entrance to the upstairs apartments where the tragedy happened is by an outside stairway on the west side of the build ing and people could come and go all day without being noted unless there was something out of the ordinary to attract the attention of those em ployed in the stable, or living in the vicinity. It may be that there were more, people visited Carter's apart ments between 3:30 and 7 o'clock than the three men who have been noted as going in at the same time and entering as a kinsman of Carter's came out of the room. The room occupied by Car ter was in the first hallway encounter ed by one going into that part of the building, while the three rooms oc cupied by Johnson and his family (with whom McNelis was staying) op ened on the second hallway and were at the north end of that hallway. Carter had had an office in the build ing since July, Mr. Grier, proprietor of the Grier Livery & Feed Stables, over which the apartments are located, hav ing found him a good tenant. The only time previous to Saturday afternoon that Carter had been known by Mr. Grier to be drunk, the latter wrarned him thafhe would have to get out of the room, if he was going to get drunk and raise a disturbance. Carter prom ised that it would not occur again. Saturday afternoon, Mrs. Nick John son came down "to Mr. Grier's office in the stable and reported to him that Carter was drunk, in his room, or that something was the matter. Mr. Grier, being very busy at the time, told her, he states, that he would look into the matter and have Carter give up the room Monday, as he had told him before that he must not indulge in drinking and causing disturbances in the building. Presently Mrs. John son reported again, it is stated, that there was still something going on in Carter's room and Mr. Grier told her and her husband to go to the room and to break the door in, if they couldn't get in any other way They called a negro who works in the stable to as sist them in breaking the door, in ac cordance to Mr. Grier's instructions. They, as has been stated, found Car ter with the four fatal wounds on his head. While there may have been any number of people in the part of the building occupied by Carter, from 3:30 until he was found about 7 o'clock, there- is no way, apparently, to find out Understood Local Lodge is Negotiating For Valuable McManaway Residence Site on West Trad.e Street Near Graham.

It is said that the Elks, if their plans to secure this valuable property are successful, will remodel the large four-story brick residence building on the center of the lot for an Elks' home and club headuarters. It is pointed out that the building can be readily changed and remodeled so as to meet all of the demands of a modern club, there being plenty of room, and a substantial structure available which can be easily altered, changed and added to, the building being especially well adapted for conversion into an Elks' home. Thj Charlotte Elks have for about -five years maintained headquarters in the three-story building on Mint street adjacent to the Presbyterian hospital building.

Lieutenant Colonel David Dubose Gaillard, U. S. A., who directed the engineering work in the Culebrar Cut, a division of the Panama Canal died at Johns Hop kins hospital here today. Lieut.-Col. Gaillard had been a pa tient at the hospital since August 17, last, suffering from a growth in the head, the result of seven years of ar duous labor in the tropical climate of the canal zone. He failed gradually, but steadily, and for the last two months had been in a state of coma due to the pressure of the cranial growth upon the brain cells. The physi cians decided some time ago that an operation was useless and might has ten his death. He is survived by his widowr and a son, Lieut. David P. Gaillard, U. S. A. Both were at the bedside when the end came. Lieut.-Col. Gaillard was born at Winnsboro, S. C, in 1854. He graduat ed from West Point Military Academy in 1884, and since that time had won many honors in the engineering ser vice. A bill was introduced in congress last month promoting him to the ranK of colonel in recognition of his distin guished services which culminated in the great engineering feat in the Cu- ebra section of the Panama canai. when Culebra cut was flooded by the blasting of Gamboa dike on Octo ber 10. last, Colonel Gaillard lay un conscious in his oea ai me uu&auuii here. .
