2o EARLY TRIAL FOR fiEPNER IS FIXED BY COURT UKIM Grand Jury Returns Indictment For First Degree Murder at Frederick By Associated Press. Frederick, McU July 26. Following the indictment yesterday by the Frederick county grand jury of B. Kvard Kepner, prominent businessman of this city, for the first degree murder of his wife, Grace Simmons Kepner, counsel for the accused man, State's Attorney Anders and Judges Urner and TYorthington met this anil c.i A llirilvt 7 SI thft dilltft for the trial. Both Mr.

Anders and Leo Weinberg, Kepner's attorney, announced yesterday that they were prepared to go to trial within aj week. The body of Mrs. Kepner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ezra Houck, wealthy Frederick residents, was found lying on a bed at her parents' home, June IS, with a bullet wound through the head.

A revolver was nearby. Disputing a verdict of suicide given bv Acting Coroner Wood, members of the Houck family demanded an inquest. Held last week, the inquest resulted in the return of a verdict of "death at the hands of a person unknown" and on Monday the grand jury was recalled to investigate the case. Girl Tells Her Story Phvsicians and a revolver expert had testified that the nature of the wound precluded the possibility of suicide, while witnesses for Kepner, for the inquest took much the aspect of a trial, declared Mrs. Kepner was subject to fits of despondency during which she had several times attempted" to take her life.

Miss Lulu Ricketts, waitress friend of Kepner, also told of meetings and automobile rides with him and of numerous gifts he gave her. Testimony yesterday by a new witness, "a close friend" of Kepner, whose name was withheld, is believed, however, to have decisively turned the tide against the suspect. This witness declared that only a few davs before Mrs. Kepner's death, her husband came to him with a pistol similar to that with which she was lain asking to te shown how to op erate it. The hearing of this witness concluded the testimony and the jury deliberated only live minutes before returning the indictment.

Kepner was immediately arrested and lodged in the city jail. LEAGUE MEMBERS PLANBIG PICNIC Canip Hill. July 26.

1 of of of at I to to A PEOPLE AGAINST RATE INCREASES Voice Opposition to Chamber of Commerce on New Steam Tariffs That steam heat consumers are unanimously in favor of protesting against the proposed increases In steam heat rates was the contents a statement issued at noon to day by the steam heat committee the Harrisburg Chamber of Commerce. Although sentiment has been shown to be favorable to protesting the proposed increase, the number heat consumers pledged to support the committee iinancally is not sulficlent to warrant filing a prdtcst this time. The Chamber of Commerce committee is seeking to ascertain sentiment among heat users on the proposed increased rates for the city steam and make definite plans for filing complaint against the heat manufacturers as soon as consumers give assurance that they will co operate in me investigaiion inrusuis help bear the cost. The people who) will pay increased bills lor heart are those who are being asked contribute to a fund for opposing the increase. If the consumers will contribute an amount equal to ten per cent, of last year's bill, the Chamber committee will be in a position to proceed with an investigation and make formal protest before the Public Service Commission.

Although a large' number of consumers have responded favorably by pledging to support the investigation financially, the committee has not heard from a number sufficient to warrant definite action in filing protest. The new schedules filed by the Harrisburg Light and Power Company go into effect August 6 unless they are protested, the increat.es varying from nine to thirty eight per cent. If complaint is made against these rates and any definite effort is made to sustain tne complaint, it will be necessary to employ an engineering expert accountant and legal assistance. No concerted action can be taken by the Chamber of Commerce committee unless an adequate fund is secured, and action to be effective must be immediate, the committee points out. The committee also is emphasizing the necessity of 100 per cent, of the heat consumers contributing in order that an equitable distribution of expense may be borne by all residents benefited directly.

The Chamber of Commerce committee will procure the experts, file a protest and actively investigate and oppose the proposed increase for all heat users if the necessary funds are secured. Residents Who are interested in opposing the increase are being asked to send their subscriptions to John F. Dapp, treas urer, care of Central Trust Company, Third and Broad streets, at once.
