Before effecting his eseae from the Institution Parker had all plans made, lie had written his wife, telling her to fco to their grandparents near Lynn cm Haturday night, where he would meet her If poHslble. She was to know whether this was possible by visiting their trysting place of many years ago, which Is an old beech treo In the woods near the hoiiBe. Her Instructions wero to look for a piece of paiier pinned on the tree and If she found this she would know he would Join her after dusk. Pursue in an Auto. The Bherlff with his deputy Clarence Mote, went to Lynn on Saturday evening in an automobile but were unable to locate Parker.

rostum Cereal Company, Ltd., Battle Creek, Mich.

The fire department has Just established a veterinary hospital for the horses of the department, which will mean a saving to ibe'eity in hospital bills and a more satisfactory care of the faithful animals. This hospital la at the city hall and includes a large box stall, a complete medic ine cabinet and other veterinary equipment. One of the horses at No. 3, is now taking treatment at the hospital for stomach trouble. The horse is not in serious condition and will return to the Bervice In a few days. Chief Ed Miller's horse "Jim," one of the most popular in the department, does the "extra" stunt, when horses are ill. This animal will work n either side 6f any wagon in the city. Horses usually last about ten years In the tire service. The oldest team now pulls the hook and ladder truck at No. 2, having been there for eight years, it Is the most powerful team in the service. The new wagon for Chief Miller will go into Bervice in a few days. It will bo the most modern style in wagon making. The combination wag on at No. 1, whic h has been overhauled, went into service today. Next year President Hammond of the board of works, and Chief Miller hope for at least one auto combination wagon. This, if secured, Miller says, will be a great advantage. It will be tested out at No. 2 house tinder tho direct supervision of the chief. Several other conveniences, such as a search light, water tower and fire helmets are desired by Miller and may be secured next year.

TAFT SAYS BREAK Illinois Senator Speaks in His Own Defense Beveridge's Monument. Washington, Feb. 28 President Taft again today served notice on more than a score of the senators who called at the White House that the deadlock in the Lorimer case must be broken. It is understood a threat of an extra session was used. Senator Heverldge is getting credit today for suggesting the plan of campaign by which a vote on the Lorimer case by unanimous consent was refused, unless consent'were given, at the same time for a vote on the tariff commission bill and if an agreement is reached it will be upon that basis. If Senator Heveridge succeeds in rescuing the tariff board bill from the leg islative "scrap heap'' in the closing days of the session, he will have left a monument to his work here that will entitle him to the gratitude of the progressive Republicans. The senate two-thirds majority is necessary to carry the amendment. Senator Ijorimer secured the floor again this afternoon and made another speech in his own defense. He read some telegrams from Illinois corroborating the statements ho has already made. Stone, of Missouri followed In a filibuster speech. Reject Appropriation Bill. Washington. b. 28.

LORIMER

DEADLOCK

(Palladium Special) Indianapolis. Feb. 28. The regulative and restrictive measure regarding saloons passed the house Monday af-

ternoon by a vote of 53 to 40. and as ' a side line the issue was raised as to what the Republican minority drinks in the form of spiritous, vinous or malt liquors or whether they drink any of them. It all started by Keegan explaining his vote. Now be it known that Keegan is an Irish name and Keegan himself is an Irishman, and hence the trouble. When the bill came up for final reading and passage many of the Republicans took advantage of the opportunity to explain their votes by delivering spirited addresses directed squarely at Demon Rum and the breweries. They were all in favor of a regulative and restrictive measure, but not this one. This one was vicious and impotent and farcical and ; pernicious and didn't regulate and was written hv lirpwprs nrifl was not likprt by the Anti-saloon league, and beEides it was backed by the Democrats and so what good was it anyway. Naturally one couldn't expect a Republican to think much of it and they didn't. Then Keegan Arose. When Keegan's name was called, he arose and said:

"I want to explain my vote. There The-Cherokees sent a delegation to j is no hypocrisy about my vote. I am see the Great White Father, and Senot like members of the minority who qUoyah was among them. President, '

Nothing so sublime and approaching the dignity of a deliberative body of statesmen representing the free and untrammeled people has taken place this session. The more serious minded of the body began to be thankful that the antihydrophobia bill had an emergency clause.' while Galbraith, the only really for sure cow man of the house whistled for his mustang and reached for his six-shooter. Calm and serene through it all Speaker Veneman took a fresh chew of Red Horse, tucked the cud away in the left cheek and proceeded to maul the top of his desk into a pulp and demand order. But Keegan wanted a fight. He thought he was in a miners' convention, and he hurled his challenge at the frothing minority and stood his ground. After comparative calm had been restored it was ascertained he voted for the bill. But it will never be known at what the Republican minority took offense. Some say they were offended because it was alleged they diluted good whiskey by making high balls. Others said the minority drinks nothing but kUk i-Jv n ln.,iklnv w- w V, It. u.u 6'" the advocates of beer as a beverage say the minority were merely resent - ing the insult to Mr. Anheuser and Schlitz.

THIEF GIVES BOOTS TO A BLACKSMITH The pair of boots which was purchased at Haisley's shoe store, February 13, hy a man who gave In payiment a forged check, and received $10 In change, was found in Tom But- : ler's blacksmithing shop when it was ! opened on Tuesday morning. Emiployes of the shop are certain the boots were not there when the shop was closed last night. Considerable mystery surrounds the ' said boots, as they had not even been unwrapped. The police are still on the lookout for the forger who signed the name of H. R. Adams, writing the check on the Middlehoro mills. The ! mill office was broken into by thieves who stole the check book. Canaries hare been known to live twenty-one years.

Oklahoma City. Okla., Feb. 28. A bill passed by the house of representatives of Oklahoma last week appropriates $3,000 for a statue of Sequoyah, the famous Cherokee, to be placed

in the national hall of fame. Oklahoma, like all other states, will j have two representatives in the na- j tional gallery of American immortals, j After rue and sober consideration, the second legislature selected Sequoyah. ' Sequoyah, whom Oklahoma has selected as the "first Oklahoman," did not live long in Oklahoma. His life is shrouded in the past, but the gen eral Impression is that he passed j through here about 1825, stayed only a 8nort time among the Cherokees of maian Territory, ana men went on toward California. Son of a Hessian Soldier. Sequoyah's English name was George Geist or Guess. Legends of the Cherokees have it that Sequoyah i was the son a Hessian soldier who fousht under General Braddock in the t etarly Indian wars I i sioi y is uiai auer urauuum s defeat the Hessian soldier went south ; w.ith !ome Cherokees and married a Cherokee maiden.

Loudon, Feb. 2S. The middle of

May has been selected as the time for! unveiling the National Memorial to Queeu Victoria, which it has taken more than five years to build in the great circular space in front of Buckingham Palace created and beautified by the art of Sir Aston Webb. No more appropriate time for the unveiling of the memorial could have been selected. The impressive exercises in honor of the memory of '"Victoria the Good," will form a fitting prelude to' the brilliant ceremonies of the coronation of her grandson that will follow a month later. j Many cf the royalties of Europe are to attend the unveiling. The colonial premiers and other statesmen who are to atteud the imperial conference beginning at the end of May will, also have a part in the exercises. ! The Queen Victoria memorial has been spoken of as the "Dreadnaught" of great monuments. From start to finish the builders have kept the idea , of the durability of the monument in ' mind. Every brick in the deep found-' atious and every block of marble in j the massive superstructure was care-' fully examined and pronounced perfect ! before it was put in place. The great monument as it stands completed reiH resents more than 2,000 tons of marble, masonry and granite. Colossal is the only word giving an adequate conception of the size and imposing appearance of the monument. The memorial as a whole consists of a vast artistic framework that includes so many works of art that their conception and execution alone might have filled half a busy working man's lifetime. There are numerous statues and low reliefs in both marble and bronze, to say nothing of the great flights of steps, the magnificent fountain basis, the retaining wall, the piers and bases. The central figure, of course, is the statue of the Queen, who is presented with characteristic dignity. The statue is of marble and is 18 feet high. Forming the background for the Queen's statue is a great marble base surmounted by a bronze figure of "Victory," twelve feet in height. "Courage" and "Constancy" stand at attendant and contributory figures. At the opposite end, looking toward the palace which in London was the Queen's official home, is the imposing group of "Motherhood." To the right and left stand the marble groups rep resenting "Justice" and "Truth." From the great circular platform of gianite, which is approached by steps of stately breadth and comfortable shallowness, the spectator may see below the vast water basins fed by fountains on the northern and southern sides. On pedestals flanking the steps, front and back, are great groups in bronze of "Peace," "Progress," "Manufactures" and "Agriculture." Over the fountain arches are colossal figures representing "Bravery" and "Intelligence," symbolizing the army and the navy and science and the arts. The retaining wall is enriched with many bronze panels symbolizing England's maritime supremacy. LIQUOR ELECTIONS DRAW LARGE VOTES (American News Service) Indianapolis, Feb. 28. Reports from the forty-six units holding option elections today under the new liquor law show a greater interest isw being taken, than in the general elections. Noblesville reports disagreeable weather, necessitating the abandonment of the children's parade and keeping the women in doors. While the "drys" apparently are displaying greater confidence where there is wagering, the bets are usually at even money. Both factions are utilizing automobiles and other vehicles to get out a heavy vote. LOVE SLUSH COSTS D. H. DECKER, $10,000 (American News Service) New York, Feb. 28. David H. Decker, a wealthy civil engineer, must pay to Henrietta French of Pierre, South Dakota, $10,000 for breach of promise. Letters in which he called her "Ownty Donty Darling." and "Sweetest Honey Bunch Girl of Golden West" convinced the jury he was guilty. The girl wanted $25,000. s i

During the winter the army officials have distributed over 1500 garments and 150 pairs of shoes, also pieces of , furniture and many kinds of provis- j ions. It is not among the families who are willing to accept aid where the greatest suffering, due to the lack of clothing and food and fuel, is found, but in those homes where pride will Mt be humbled by accepting alms, Captain Deuter said. ELEVATED TRAINS HAD A COLLISION (American News Service) New York, Feb. 28. Three persons were injured, one seriously, when two elevated trains crashed in a rear-end collision high in the air on the third avenue line at the Tremont avenue station early today.
