OLSON TESTIFIES The Defendant Repeated Details of Their Home Life and Told of the * Pain Both He and His Wife Had Suffered Because of Her Relations With Darling—Other News of the Day. • I . * St. Paul, Minn., April 5. —With quivering and uncertain voice, Mrs. Lillian Olson, wife of Professor Oscar Olson, took the witness standr into yesterday and admitted having had illicit relations with Clyde N. Darling, for whose murder Olson is on trial. “I told Darling that I was not a bad woman and begged him to discontinue his visits to our home, but he persisted in coming and when he pressed me closely in his arms I could not resist,” Mrs. Olson testified. Finally her answers to questions became so low that they could not be heard by the jury and she swayed as if on the Verge of collapse. Then an adjournment was taken. The state rested its cross-examina-tion of Professor Olson at 5 o'clock Friday afternoon, but he may be recalled. The defendant repeated details of their home life and told of the pain both he and Mrs. Olson had suffered. because of her relations with Darling. When asked by County Attorney O'Brien to give an exact statement of his wife’s confession to him which preceded the shooting of Darling. Olson's voice failed him, but he soon recovered and continued: "My wife said: Darling has a superhuman {lower over me. 1 can't resist _ him. He takes me in his firms and, looking into my eyes, he tejlts me he loves me and hypnotizes me. 1 am J afraid of him. Please keep him from me.” Before completing his (testimony, Olson enacted his part of the tragedy. Grasping tbei same revolver with which he killed Darling and fairly shaking with emotion, Olson trained the weapon upon one of the jurors and stepped slowly forward. He hesitated a moment, then quickly retreated and pulled the trigger of the empty weapon. The djefense has contended that Darling started toward Olson-and that the latter fired to save himself.

15. HIRST 15 SENT TO PRISON Suffragette Leader Given ThreeYear Term. SAYS SHE WILL NOT EAT Woman Convicted in London for Inciting Persons to Commit Dam- 4 age—Three Attempts to Burn Homes. London, April s— “ Human life is now in peril, for we have resolved no longer to respect it and trouble of ali : sorts must bo faced.” \ This statement was made on Thurs- ; day by a leading suffragette following | the conviction of Mrs. Emmaline Pank- | hurst in Old Bailey and her sentence | to three years’ penal servitude on the ! charge of inciting her followers to commit damage. It was asserted Mrs. Pankhurst adI mitted some weeks ago that she urged ! the placing of the explosive which i wrecked the summer home of Lloyd- | George at daybreak February 19. | The trial had lasted two days. The | jury added to its verdict of guilty a I strong recommendation for mercy, and | when the judge pronounced the heavy I sentence of three years the crowd of women in the courtroom rose in angry protest. As Mrs. Pankhurst stood up in the prisoners’ inclosure, her sympathizers cheered then tiled cut of court, singing ‘‘March On! March On!” to the tune of the “Marseillaise.” Mrs. Pankhurst’s closing address to the jury lasted 50 minutes. She Informed the court that she did not wish to call any witnesses. In her address she frequently wandered so far from the matter before the court that the judge censured her. Mrs. Pankhurst denied any malicious incitement. “Neither I nor the other militant suffragettes are wiclied or malicious,” she s-dd. 'Whatever may be my sentence, I will not submit. From the very moment I leave the court I will refuse to eat. I will come out of the prison dead or alive at the earliest possible moment.” Justice Lush in passing sentence said: “I must pass a severe sentence on you. If you would only realize the wrong you a,re doing and use your influence in the right direction I should be the first to use best endeavors to secure a mitigation of your sentence. I cannot and I will not regard your crime as trivial. It is a most serious one.” Three attempts were made to burn houses in the Hempstead district of London. One of the residences was occupied, and another suffragettes tried to blow up lust week. The damage done was not extensive. Nothing was found to connect the suffrages?!es with the outrages, but the alarmed sonants of the suburb are convinced ihat militants are responsible, “This place is a regular hotbed of suffragettes,” declared a police official.

HUERTA WILL RESIGN TO PACIFY ENEMIES Pedro Lascurain Will Serve as Provisional President of Mexico by Terms of Compact. El Paso, Tex., April 5. —Advices that came straight from the Mexican capital city on Thursday said that General Huerta has agreed to the naming of Pedro Lascurain as the provisional president, in order that all the factions in Mexico may be satis- i fled. Lascurain would serve out the uncompleted term of the late President Madero. As minister of exterior relations in Madero’s former cabinet, Lascurain is entitled to serve as next in line, in view of the deaths of Madero and VicePresident Suarez. The Huerta cabinet would be retained by the compromise. This arrangement, it is said, has been offered to the Constitutionalists, now fighting the Huerta government in northern Mexico. It is declared that ; Governor Carranza of Coahuila has j agreed and that the Sonora insurrec-i , tionists will fall in Hue. The decision of the present pro- ; visional president is said to have been occasioned by the recent uprising of Zapata in the south, which places the Huerta forces between two fires. Mexican military men here estimate ! that Huerta has not more than 14.000 troops in all Mexico with which to meet the situation. This is even less j thau Porfirio Diaz possessed iu com- j bating the Madero revolution. , - | TO KILL 15TH AMENDMENT. Senator Vardaman will Seek to Restrict Negro Franchise.

CONGRESS GETS WILSffESSIE Brief Document Tells Purpose of Extra Session. MUST ALTER TARIFF DUTIES Lawmakers Asked to Square the Schedules With the Actual Facts cf Industrial and Commercial Life. Washington, April S. — President Wilson's message, read today to the ' senate and house at the beginning of I the extra session, was a brief, pointed document setting forth in general terms what congress is expected to do in the matter of tariff revision. The message was as follows: To the Senate and House of Representatives; I have called the congress together In extraordinary session because a duty was laid upon the party now in ’ power at the recent elections which it ought to perform promptly, in order that the burden carried by the people under existing law may be lightened as soon as possible and in order, also, that the business interests of the country may not be kept too long in suspense as to what the fiscal changes are to be to which they will be required to adjust themselves. It is clear to the whole country that the tariff duties must be altered. They must be changed to meet the radical alteration in the conditions of our ecnomic life which the country has witnessed within the last generation. While the whole face and method of our industrial and commercial life were being changed beyond recognition the tariff schedules have remained what they were before the change began, or have moved in the direction they were given when no large circumstance of our industrial development was what it is today. Our task is to square them with the actual facts. The sooner that is done the sooner we shall escape from suffering from the facts and the sooner our men of business will be free to thrive by the law of nature (the nature of free business) instead of by the law of legislation and artificial arrangement. Business Mot Normal. We have seen tariff legislation wander very far afield in our day —> very far indeed from the field in which our prosperity might have had a normal growth and stimulation. No one who looks the facts squarely in the face or knows anything that lies beneath the -surface of action can fail to perceive the principles upon which recent tariff legislation has been based. We long ago passed beyond the modest notion of “protecting” the industries cf the country and moved boldly forward to the Idea that they were entitled to the direct patronage of the government. For a long time — a time so long that the men now active In public policy hardly remember the conditions that preceded it —we have sought in our tariff schedules to give each group of manufacturers or producers what they themselves thought that they needed In order to maintain a practically exclusive market as against the rest of the world. Consciously or unconsciously, we have built up a set of privileges and exemptions from competition behind which it was easy by any, even the crudest, forms of combination to organize monopoly; until at last nothInt is normal, nothing Is obliged to stand the tests of efficiency and economy, in our world of big business, but everything thrives by concerted arrangement. Only new - principles of action will save us from a final hard crystallization of monopoly and a complete loss of the influences that quicken enterprise and keep independent energy alive. It is plain what those principles must be. We must abolish everything that bears even the semblance of privilege or of any kind of artificial advantage, and put our business men and producers under the stimulation of a constant necessity to be efficient, economical, and enterprising, masters of competitive supremacy, better workers and merchants than any in the world. Aside from the duties laid upon articles which we, do not, and probably cannot, produce, therefore, and the duties laid upon luxuries and merely for the sake of the revenues they yfeld. the object of the tariff duties henceforth laid must be effective competition, the whetting of Ameri can wits by contest with the wits of the rest of the world. Development, Not Revolution. It would be unwise to move toward this end headlong, with reckless haste, or with strokes that cut at the very roots of what has grown up amongst us by long process and at our own Invitation. It does not alter a thing to upset It and break it and deprive It of a chance to change. It destroys it. We must make changes In our fiscal laws, in our fiscal system, whose object is development, a more free and wholesome development, not revolution or upset or confusion. We must build up trade, especially foreign trade. We need the outlet ard the enlarged field of energy more than we ever did before. We must build up industry as well and must adopt freedom in the place of artificial stimulation only so far as it will build, not pull down. In dealing with the tariff the method by which this" may be done will be a matter of judgment, exercised item by item.

Need Care of Home. A Philadelphia physician who enjoys a handsome practice and excellent hospital connections told me an Interesting although terrible thing. About 90 per cent, out of every 100 babies that are sent to hospitals for bringing up die. The death rate among such unfortunates is seven times as great as with Infants who have the immediate care of mothers. Truly there Is something needed in a child’s life besides food, shelter and clothing.—Philadelphia Record.

To some not accustcnd to the excitements and respoa»>nities of greater freedom our methq s may in some respects and at so, 9 points seem heroic, but remedies may be heroic and yet be remedies. I is our business to make sure that Uy are genuine remedies. Our object t clear ft our motive is above just cb»Heng® and only an occasional error o judg ment is chargeable against is, we shall be fortunate. We are called upon to renter the country a great service in m«ro matters than one. Our Responsibility should be met and our be thorough, as thorough as modlyate and well considered, based upon facts as they are, and nqt worked out as If we were beginners. We are fto deal with the facts of our own day;, with the facts of no other, and to ’ make laws which square with those facts. It is best, Indeed it is necessary, to begin with the tariff. I will urge nothing upon you now at the opening of your session which can obscure that first object or divert our energies from that clearly defined duty. At a later time I may take the liberty of calling your attention to reforms which should press close upon the heels of the tariff changes, if not accompany them, of which the chief is the reform of our banking and currency laws; but just now I refrain. For the present, I put these matters on one side and think only of this one thing—of the changes in our fiscal system which may best serve to open once more the free channels of prosperity to a great people whom we would serve to the utmost and throughout both rank and file. WOODROW WILSON. The White House. April 8, 1913. WOMEN KNOWN BY JEWELS Each Articlo of Adornment Is Observed and Carefully Catalogued , by Society. _~ A woman frequently changes her face and always her gown, while to change her jewels is an event calling for chronicle, Richard Barry writes la the New York Times. “Is that Mrs. So-and-So In box —V I heard one woman ask another the other night. "Let me see,” replied her companion, seizing the glasses. “No. Mrs. So and-So has sapphires surrounding a pearl in her pendant. That has emeralds. It is Mrs. If-and-But.” “Who is that next to her?” “With the cross of diamonds and the jade stomacher?” “No. With the oval brooch set with opals.” I’Oh! That is Mrs. Or-to-Be's brooch, but it doesn’t look like her daughter, only she never will let any one wear her opals; 'lucky for' her, unlucky for another’ is her idea. What has she done to her face?” These women, their dependents and their intimates hold their jewels in the affectionate regard that another group of women might hold their children. The entrance to the circle of each new piece of jewelry is noted and commented on carefully. It undergoes jealous observation at first Then, If deserving It, it achieves a place and is duly catalogued. “Look! There is that little «Miss Pretty. It’s her night. She’s barely eighteen, and see that, string of diamonds. I do think that is rushing it a bit, don’t you? They might wait till, the second year, at least, for a necklace like that. However, give me your glasses; they are better than mine.” After a moment she releases th® glasses with a satisfied smile. “At any rate,” she observes, “they ar® perfectly matched and just the right size.” So it goes. Jewels the center of at* ( tention; Jewels which mark the dis* tlnctlve elements of personality. From the tiny necklace, which is the joy of the newest debutante, to the sturdy stomacher which Is the consolation of the oldest dpwager, Jewels proclaim, define, limit, differefatiate, vitalize and devitalize society. Sunshine, Plants — and Girls. Sunlight is so important to life that It is little wonder that sun worshipers prevailed in primitive days. Plant a potato in your cellar, and if there Is a little light the potato'will sprout and try to grow. Surround it with the best fertilizer, water it, and do the best you can for It except that you keep it In the dark, and it cannot digest and grow. See how slender and pale It is! The process of digestion, thf great function of assimilation, cannot go on without sunshine. Nature’s laws are the Bam® in the animal world. It is Just as tru® that the only girls with red cheeks and sweet breaths, the only girls who become fully ripe and sweet, are thos® who baptize themselves fully In glorious sunshine. The many pale girls who are to be seen with a bloodless, halfbaked sort of face, whose walk, whos® voice and whose whole expression is devoid of spirit, are not haff ripe. The Queen and Gambling. Though the queen is to accompany the king to the grand national next month, she retainns her dislikb for gambling. But some years ago when the royal party was traveling down by rail for the derby, the late King Edward proposed a half crown sweepstake on the race, and Princess Mary drew a horse that had a fine chanc®. Prince Arthur of Connaught having drawn his usual blank, suggested h® should buy it from her present majesty for five shillings. She declined, and held to her chance, which romped home an easy winner. “For any on® who does not like gambling," remarks H. R. H., when retailing this yarn, “I never saw any one collect her wln> nlng more quickly.”—London Opinion.

Valuable Find Came Too Late. The irony of fate wak exemplified at Manhattan, Cal., recently. After working incessantly and alone for two years In a mine in which none but he had faith, a man named Hul>ley was killed by a cave of rocks and debris, estimated as weighing forty tons. The same fall of earth that crushed out his life uncovered the very ore body he had been seeking with such dogged persistence. The ore is some of the richest ever discos ered in the district.
