Fearing her relatives intended placing her in an Insane asylum, Mrs. Edna Summerton, 222 Erwin street, after writing a suicidal letter, deliberately arranged for the death of herself and husband, Harry Summerton, a bartender, in a frightful manner. During the early morning hours, the -woman placed cans of gasoline and coal oil about her bed, saturated the bedclothes with the inflammable material and at 5:40 yesterday touched a lighted match to the bedclothes as she lay beneath them. r Summerton was dragged from his room by the firemen, almost suffocat ed from the dense smoke. ( He then endeavored to break into his wife's room. On breaking open the door, Mrs. Summerton, her thin garments a mass of flame, jumped from her bed and sprang out of a second story win dow, falling upon a picket fence. She was hurried to Mercy Hospital and is not expected to live. ' The suicidal letter was saved from the flames by Detective Ruble and reads: "Dear Harry, My Beloved Husband: I know what they intend doing with me, and rather than go there, I will prefer death. Take my. insurance policy; It is paid until today. I have al ways tried to do what is right, but I have too many relatives who are jeal oub of me. I love you Harry, you are dear to me and I hope we will meet in another world. God bless you Har ry, so dear to me. I am going to kill myself. Bury me in Greenwood." Her home is in Jacksonburg, Ohio. REFUSE THE Cincinnati Bank Withdraws Its Bid After an Investigation. CITIZENS ENTER PROTEST f f Palladium Special) Eaton, O., March 16. Because the Jackson township board of education was a party to a litigation in the courts the First National bank of Cin cinnati has refused to take the $15,000 worth of school bonds issued for the purpose of constructing a centralized school building in that township. Con sequently the bonds have been taken by the Eaton National bank, its bid of $524.S0 being next highest to the premium of $601 offered by the Cin cinnati bank. Several citizens of that township made an effort in the com mon pleas court to prevent the board from issuing the bonds. Judge Elam Fisher, however, failed to grant an Injunction, and the plaintiffs gave notice of an appeal to the circuit court and have filed $300 bond. SUIT TO FORECLOSE (Palladium Special) Eaton, O., March 16. Claiming that C. L. Jackson and others are indebted to him In the sum of $530, and that he holds a mortgage on their property in West Alexandria, John Zimmerman has filed suit in the common pleas court asking for judgment and foreclosure.

WILL YOU BE DECEIVED. There Is no doubt that every possible effort Is being made by certain astute politicians, agents of the great Interests "of unseen government, to put Senator Beveridge In as many difficulties as possible. The average obscure citizen is supposed not to be a deep thinking person. He is reputed to be an easy mark. JThe ways of politicians and big business are not open they are devious like a submerged river which disappears suddenly, and comes up flowing in an opposite direction after hiding in the dark.

It Is the fault of our government in electing senators that the citizen must vote for a legislature whose business it is to legislate for the state. The voter must vote for the legislator. If a way can be found to force another issue to the front which will divide the attention of the people the work of the enemies of Senator Beveridge is done. The citizen is expected to be taken In.

Back of the movement to interject the liquor question Into the next campaign there is a long story. There is enough of it apparent on the surface to say that much of the clamoring and agitation is purely political for the purpose of defeating Beveridge. . The way of the corporation attacked by an honest man in the Senate Is not open. The Steel trust, the Woolen trust, the Tobacco trust, do not work in the open. Their way is to find agents among disgruntled politicians of their own stripe and to use craft.

There are many sincere men who are easily alarmed. There are sincere believers in liquor reform. There are honest men in the liquor business. If by alarming the temperance man by false representation the liberal citizen can be aroused the work of the men behind is accomplished. From that time on there will be little for the agents to do except to sit on the side lines and pour fuel on the fire. The same men have two stories, they will have the temperance man believe that the county local option law is to be repealed; they will have the liquor dealer believe that state wide prohibition is to be fathered by the Republican party. And so though the liquor question is a dead question it is brought up to do its service for the agents of Big Business. ' , The liquor question is a dead Issue in Indiana, because the county local option law was passed. The Republican party gave to each community the right to decide that question itself. It asks that this be given a fair trial.

The law has proved that those communities in which the majority were in favor of saloons the regulated sale of liquor may keep their saloons. Those counties that went dry did so from the displeasure of the majority of the community with badly conducted saloons. There is no need for legislation on this subject at the present time. The fair way to do is to try it out. Give the people credit enough to be able to decide a personal question for It is a personal question.

And above all things look at the question fairly. Why this agitation? The Democratic party is not frank on this subject. It has not been unequivocal on county local option, model license, or township option. Until it takes a stand for or against county local option, that question is not a live one.

We have a sincere regard for those who are sincere in their beliefs on the question as to whether the saloon is a good or bad thing. That is a personal matter which each man must decide according to his own lights. But this has nothing to do with those who without provocation and .with the secret purpose of securing Republican defeat agitate the liquor question in the hope that the people will attack Beveridge. We believe that those who are fair will see the game and detest it for what it is. And we have confidence in the people's fairness. The issue cannot be other than the reelection of Senator Beveridge. In the fight of the whole American people against forces of national dishonesty the foe of every man who works for a wage Indiana has led the fight. Those foes are using every wile known to politics to defeat Beveridge. Is the voter to be fooled?

Did Marshall Open Big Breach

His Suggestion for Nomination Both Favored and (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, March 1;. Two important questions relating to Democratic politics are now practically settled. One is that the plan of the governor for having the state convention nominate the candidate of the party for United States senator will come before the convention, and the other is that it will be sternly opposed. Although the announcement of the governor that he favors such a plan is only one day old, it has much opposition already. It is also having a firm defense on the part of the governor and his friends, including John E. Lamb of Terre Haute, who is an avowed candidate for United States senator and who, as stated yesterday, has indorsed the governor's plan. Another development is that John W. Kern, who made the race for United States senator last winter, has also been brought into the question; as an issue. - Those who oppose the plan do not charge that it has been brought forward with a view to boosting Mr. Kern into the senatorship, but they do say that If the plan were adopted, it would mean that Mr. Kern would be the next United States senator from Indiana, provided the legislature is democratic. The argument is, that John W. Kern, so far as prominence, statesman ship and experience in statesmanship J goes, Mr. Kern is by far and away the biggest democrat in Indiana. All of the other men who . have been mentioned in connection with the senatorship, they say, are about on a level and not much above the average. Mr. Kern, they point out, has made the race for governor and for vice president, has held a state office and in many ways is the biggest man in the party. It is recalled, also, that two years ago, when Mr. Kern was a candidate for United States senator, all of the country papers were strong for him, and great dissatisfaction was expressS'e,eDr.Davis ANTI-HEADACHE You can obtain prompt relief from Backache and Kidney Disorders with a 50c Box of DAVIS KID-NE-TABS.

for Senator in Convention Is

Vigorously Opposed. ed over the state when he failed to land the senatorship. j The point to all of the argument is, that there is no other man in the state whom the democratic state convention could well indorse and that the adoption of the plan of the governor would be one of the best things that could happen for Mr. Kern. Those who favor the plan say, that its very greatest advantage is the fact that it will mean the nomination of the strongest man and the one who is most acceptable to the people for the United States senatorship, and that that will be as it should be. If Mr. Kern is the biggest man in the party, and is the choice of the convention, then he is the man to make the race. If some other man is the choice of the delegates to the convention, then he is the man to make the race for the place. Those who favor the plan declare also, that the nomination of a candidate for United States senatorand the settlement of the question as to whom shall oppose Senator Beveridge, will give greater strength to the party, and that it will more than offset any losses which might come to the party through the fact that all of the candidates save one. would be eliminated at the time of the convention. It is understood that when the matter comes up in the democratic con vention there will be insistence that it shall be voted on by the delegates by congressional districts. The seventh district which is composed of Marion county will have 1S3 delegates in the convention. Mr. Taggart not being enthusiastic for the plan probably would be able to turn the seventh district delegation away from it. It is expected however, that it will be largely the country districts that will stand by the plan to the finish. There has been a feeling on the part of some of the people in the country that too much "fixing up" in politics has been going on in Indianapolis anyhow. In the fight it un doubtedly will develop that the coun try districts will remain with the governor. The discussion of the" governor's plan has become so wide-spread among the democrats that little is heard about candidates' for state offices. His plan has the limelight and It is expected to hold it until the convention date rolls around. The fight for the nomination for tate . superintendent of public in-

struction on the republican ticket promises to be one of the hottest of the republican state convention. There are three candidates in the field, namely S. C. Ferrell of Shelbyville;Horace Ellis of Vincennes and John Carr, of Indianapolis, superintendent of the Marlon county schools. Every one of these candidates "is ac

tive In the race now. Mr. Ferrell was in the city yesterday accompanied by Sid Conger of Shelbyville, former president of the state board of agriculture and one of the powers in the republican party. Mr. Ferrell Is counting much on his experience. He was formerly a superintendent of county schools and is now superintendent of the Shelbyville public schools. He also served on the committee with R. J. Aley, present state superintendent when a lot of leaks in the school fund on account of unpaid fines were stopped. "I realize," said Mr. Ferrell. "that the candidate of the republicans fori state superintendent should be a strong man for he will have a strong opponent in Mr. Aley on the democra tic ticket. If r thought there was in the party any man who would make a better race than I, I would get out of the race' in his favor." Mr. Carr of Indianapolis was form erly a teacher in the Manual Training high school. It is understood that he will have the 1S3 delegates of Marion county behind him. He ex pects also to draw strength from the northern part of the state as both of his opponents in the race come from the southern half of the state. It is more than likely that the ques tion of uniform text books will be brought into the race for state superintendent. This was a live question in the last session of the legislature and it is probable that a candidate who would not express his views in favor of uniform text books would not stand much of a show for the nomination. It Is now asserted that C'aarles F. Remy will not be a candidate for the republican nomination for secretary of state. This leaves the republicans without a probability for this office except John Morris an attorney of Fort Wayne who is now talked of for the place. Mr. Morris belongs to the law firm of Breene and Morris and it is said that if he gets into the race he will have pretty solid backing. It is expected that it will be known before the end of the week whether Mr. Morris will get into the race. Joseph Oliver of South Bend also is being talked of for this nomination. Mr. Oliver it is believed would add strength to the ticket as he is a well known business man and is not a politician. SEIZES AEROPLANES Manager of Paulhan Has No Idea of Allowing Frenchman to Escape. A DISGUSTED IRISHMAN New York, March IC Edwin Cleary, of Ireland and Covington, Ky., and the world at large, soldier of fortune, builder of railroads and bridges in South Africa, Egypt and the Soudan, is determined that Louis Paulhan, the temperamental French aviator, whom he has been managing on an American tour, is not going to slip out of his contract and sail gayly away for that dear Paris with his four aeroplanes Thursday. To this end Cleary has obtained a writ of attachment for the four flying machines two Farmans and two Bleriots which were locked up at the Ja maica race track at his direction after Paulhan had refused to fly and had an nounced that he was going back to France and ordered the machines crat ed. With his craft tied up and Cleary threatening a damage suit for $1.!KM00 friends were trying to persuade the Frenchman to reconsider his decision. but he appeared obdurate and was determined to sail on Thursday. "That's what I get for trying to do business with a wild, jabbering Frenchman," said Cleary, disgusted ly today. "He's so chockfull of artis tic temperament that he has no Idea of an obligation or the value of a contract. "The whole trouble Is with Paul han's wife," he continued. "If he had left her in her dear France we would have got along all right and would have cleaned up a pile. But she's WOMEN'S WOES. Richmond Women Are Finding Relief at Last.

NO INFORMATION GIVEN Pathologists Make No Report on Findings in the Eddy White Case. Coroner A. L. Bramkamp has receiv ed no word from the Indiana Universi ty pathologists to whom the stomach i of Eddy K. White, of Whitewater, was sent soon after exhuming the body on January 28. The pathologists have had the stomach and other organs for Approximately six weeks and, accord ing to the coroner, have made no definite report as to what was the result of the analysis. It is common opinion that nothing will ever come of the case, it being be lieved that the authorities would have reported as to the result of the post mortem examination had there been any evidence of foul play.

The death certificate filled out by the attending physician an nounced death to be due to ptomaine poisoning. From the Days of Abraham.

WHEELS OF COACH JUMP THE RAILS

And P. R. R. Train, No. 23, Westbound, Had a Very Narrow Escape Today. ACCIDENT PECULIAR ONE WHEN TRAIN NEARED GREENS FORK, WHEELS LEFT TRACK, AND GUARD ' RAILS PREVENT FALLING FROM A BRIDGE. West bound Pennsylvania train No. enroute to Chicago, and Having a number of passengers aboard, had a narrow escape from a most serious vreck at 11 o'clock this morning, at Greensfork, nine miles west of here. When the fast flying limited was within thirty feet of the Greensfork station the rails and traveled along the ties, throwing up a cloud of splinters from the mutilated ties. With unabated speed the train crossed a bridge, 30O feet west of the station, and the only thing that prevented the coach from falling into the creek below, dragging the rest of the train with it. were the guard rails. After the train had safely crossed the bridge and passed the guard rails. the wheels of the rear coach plowed along the ties and the gravel embankment for a distance of three hundred feet up a hill, before the engine could be stopped. No sooner had the train stopped than white-faced passengers poured out of the cars, congratulating each other that they had not been hurled to certain death when the train crossed the bridge. It took the wreck train from Richmond an hour to place the rear coach back on the rails. The roadbed through Greensfork was con siderably damaged. More and better bread if you use GOLD COIN FLOUR.

William Black, the novelist, who was very Intimate with Miss Anderson and her family, insisted upon assnmlng the part of one of the supers, who was dressed as a very old man with a venerable beard and locks that fell upon his shoulders. When Black went upon the stage in this disguise he walked about among his fellow supers with unceasing restlessness and, judging by the wild motions of his arms, seemed to be addressing to each in turn an impassioned harangue. The audience began to wonder who the new actor was and what on earth be was doing In a play In which neither Shakespeare nor the stage managers ever intended him to appear. Presently came the time when it was the business of Perdita to distribute flowers among the peasants, among whom Black bad his place. Miss Anderson, carrying on the practical Jokes of the family circle, had prepared a surprise for this moment, and. baring distributed flowers among the less favored supers, she handed to Black a large cake crowned with a wreath of laurel, saying as she did so, "You take it," in allusion to his triumphs in the contest of wits at the supper table. To ber consternation. Black showed that he was quite prepared to carry out the jest. for. taking the cake from the bands of Perdita. be Immediately distributed it in substantial portions to his hungry fellow suppers, who, finding It to be of excellent quality, began to munch it greedily under the eyes of the house.
