Los Angeles, CaL", Jan. 8. Efforts to establish a motive for the double murder and suicide which caused the deaths of W. M. Melton, a local attor ney; Mrs. ..Mary Graves Cox, of San Francisco, arid ,, the latter' s daughter Florence, twelve years old, in a room ing house here late last night, proved futile today ' . . - Lodgers in the house where the trag edy occured said that when last seen together, Melton and- Mrs. Cox had ap peared to be on the. best of terms and there was nothing to indicate a quar rel.' The police,' however, -believe Mrs. Cox 'did the shooting.1 ; ! ' ''Melton.' received j four v wounds, any one of which would have proved fatal, while . Mrs.'' Cox ' was shot but once. Around the wound in her head were powder marks indicating that the re volver had been, very close., i: There was found a photograph' of herself and the child on which Mrs. Cox had writ ten "Florence Cox and: May: Graves, 2733 Mission street, . San Francisco- report the news at home." Melton was a member of the Lodge of Elks here. He had been attentive to Mrs. Cox who was a . divorcee of about three years, according to friends. DEATH OF AN INFANT. YESTER DAY MORNING. ' ' Georgle May, the"" one-year-old " daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. iE. Ivey, died at the home of her parents, No. 104 George street, early yesterday morning.

I' & IV3. dent, i Wilson began- , work- today on they message dealing with anti-trust Jfisfatipn, which ' he will read to pqngress" shortly, ''after his return to'' Washington. : vLjke his inaugural address and previous messages to Congress, the document was first sketched in short hand by the President and then given to 4 stenographer to transcribe. While the President considers what he is working on now as only a rough draft, if previous experience is repeated the .message that he finally delivers will not be materially changed from this first composition. I Just what this new message con tains is known only to the President and no inkling of its nature will be divulged until it is submitted to the Cabinet members and Democratic leaders in Congress, ; While today was a day of work for' the President there-were likewise incidents of diverting interest in it. When the Chief Executive finished his golf game, an old negro approached the presidential group. He had diffi culty in determining which of the men who tood before him was the Presi dent. ( "I'm Ben Williams, Jeff Davis' old body servant, he said, and I wantei to meet Mr. Wilson." s tne rresident stepped rorwarci am shook his hand. He asked the negro age. I .expert I'm 75 any wav," was llie The old residence of Jefferson Davis, which is now used as a Con federate soldiers' home, is only a few miles from the li'uks and the negro has lived in this vteinity since theMays of the Confederacy. As the President motored back to his cottage after golf, he disturbed a lot of candy to the children who greeted him along the way. The little ones flocked around his automobile when it stopped and plied him with scores of childish questions. "How did you get that automobile?" asked one and the President laughed heartily. Tomorrow the presidential automo bile will carry more candy, as there was not enough "to go round today. Ever since the 'holiday season began the President's family has been re. ceiving boxes of candy from friends, far more than could possibly be eaten by them. So the President thought it a good idea to give some of the sweets to the children who wave their little American flags each day when he passes and always seem so glad to see him. ESL TD T SOLICITOR DID GOOD WORK AT RECENT TERM OF COURT. Solicitor Charles . L. Abernethy,.-of Beaufort returned home last evening after having looked Rafter the State's interest at the term of Craven county Superior Court which, came to a close Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Aberncthy's work at this term was, as usual, through and satisfactory in every detail and was highly compli mented by the members pf the bar. Mr. Abernethy has, filled this position well and there is ' every- probability that he will be returned to the place at the close of his present term. - There will be . several candidates for the place, however, and it is under stood that a hard fight will be made by all of the contestants. , , IMPERIAL ORCHESTRA TO GIVE ' .. , DANCE TONIGHT..: .

THE CRAVEN CONNTY TEACHERS MEET TODAY WILL MAKE AN INSPECTION OF SCHOOLS AT V.ANCEBORO. Today the CravenCounty Teachers Association will hold its first regular monthly meeting for the last half of the 191.3-14 term at V'anci-boro. It has been customary to hold these meetings .in. this city, on the second Saturday in the month but recently there have been several innovations introduced in the public schools at that place and it is Sounty Superintendent S. M. Brinson's desire that the teachers visit the schools while the calsses are being held and inspect the work. The entire forenoon will be spent in the schools and at noon the teachers will be the guests of the Vanceboro teachers. During the afternoon Prof. Walter Thompson, of Onslow county, will make an address to the teachers. Prof. Thompson is a fluent and force ful speaker and his remarkswill doubtless be heard with interest. DEPUTY MARSHAL'S PLACE T BE FILLED AT LEAST RECENT EVENTS LEAD ONE TO SO BELIEVE. It seems as though there is one polit ical job in this section that is "going a begging." This is the office of I'nited States Deputy Marshall, formerly held by Samuel Lilly who automatically went out when VV, T. Dortch, of Golds boro, took charge of the Marshal's office. It was at first understood that Thomas Haywood, of Croatan, would get the place, Just at the last "moment some one preferred charges against Mr. Haywood, and, in a card, he stated that in order that his friends might-not be embarrassed, he would withdraw his name as candidate for the place. On Tuesday Marshal Dortch ap pointed . I. H. Barrus, of Polloksville, as Deputy Marshal. On Wednesday Mr. Barrus came to. New Bern and had consultaton with .the local Federal authorities and immediately thereafter it was learned that he did not want the place and would not accept it, and that he intended wiring the Mar shall to that effect. ' The position of revenoor ', in this section is not a healthy one and is not in much demand. MISS BOWMAN UNDERGOES OP ERATION. .

The Enterprise has carried several articles predicting the candidacy of Mr. Woot en but it was only until his return front Kinston, Monday, that he fully decided to enter the race. Mr. Wooten realizes the importance attached to this office, and would doubtless make a very able representative. Jackson ville Enterprise.
