MORAL REFORM THE THEME
The Subject Discussed by the National
Council of Women
Various Phases of the Questionable Sheldon
Pleads for the Publication in
Politics

Washington March 1.--Various phases
OF moral reform were discussed at the
session of National Council of Women to-
day. There were two sessions during the
day, and the need of organization and CO.
operation Of women in accomplishing i'm
provements in Government methods were
generally discussed. Ida Shelton of Mo-
line, ILL.,. led discussion, made ELOQUENT
plea for the publication of politics and
the requirement of character in the selec-
ton of those to whom the control of the
government is entrusted. She denounced
the money power in politics, the over
throw Of which was to be accom- piisheti
only by spiritual force.
Mrs. Lille D. Blake was unable to APP
pear, but her formal address was recorded
by the presiding officer.
feature OF the morning session was
the presentation of a greeting from the
American Proportional Representation
League.
1t expressed its sympathy with the
aims. principles and ideas looking to the
betterment of the condition of woman
kind, directly and indirectly, and held
that the best form of government is a rep
resentative one, made up of all citizens
of the age of discretion.
After citing illustrations from the recent
eiectloHS showing the present method OF
electing representatives does not secure
the rule of the majority, the league ac.
counts for this, not in gerrymandering,
but in the nature of the system and says
the remedy lies in electing representatives
from the state at large by the means of a
proportional vote. A SWISS or free list
system, is cited as the best scheme for
accomplishing this plan, as dovetailing
into the present methods and giving the
maximum of re ult with the minimum
of change. 1t was urged as important to
women because it is right and will entitle
them to a share in the work.
Others who spoke were Miss Clara Bar
ton, president of the Red Cross Associa-
ton, and Mrs. J. Ellen Foster.
The afternoon session was devoted to
reviews of the aims and progress of or
CARNATIONS of women. Hannah j.
Bailey, president of the Universal Peace
Union, discussed organized work Of peace
Other features of the session were Or

black negro who murdered A. B. Leah,

people that had assembled, tore down the
high fence around the gallows and made
break and made it public.
The wretched man had to be hanged
twice. The first time the rope broke.
Like dead man he was taken back to
the scaffold and again swung off. Mean
time his hands had become united and in
his frantic contortions he disrobed him
self. The drop fell at 11:55 and eleven
minutes later he died. .
During the morning Dean, in response
to his earnest entreaties, was allowed to
make speech from the court house steps.
He described his murder of the old man

and the devil had done it.

THE OUTBREAK IN COLOMBIA
When the Revolution Is Ended the Rebels
Will Have Triumphed

Will Have Triumphed
New York, March According to a
private letter received by Senior c. B..
Siquerdo, who is staying at the Hotel
American, when the revolution in the
United States of Colombia is ended, the
rebels will have triumphed. The letter
containing this intelligence is dated
Curacao, February 18th, and adds that for
the reason that the Government is still in
possession Of the cable, the news of
the success Of the revolution has not been
disseminated.
The outbreak in Colombo was precipi-
tated by the Radicals who protested
against the imposition of a heavy tax on
tobacco, liquors and imports, which was
imposed by the Liberals in power. Arms
and ammunition for the rebels were for
warded from this city, purchased here by
Senior .Garces. The first outbreak was at
Bogota, and the leaders were Tiberce
Reyes, Juan. Gonzales and Generals Come
and Rangel From the outset the Gov
eminent troops have been unable to cope
with the revolutionists, who arose in
great numbers in all provinces. The
rebels are in possession OF the chief cities
and have seized the Treasury at Bogota.

KNOCKING OUT THE PROPS
Bulwarks Of the Hayward Defense
Being Overturned
An Expert on Guns Tells Of Long and Short
cartridges---More About the
Third r1an

Minneapolis, March 1.-The Hayward
murder trial proceeded today in spite OF
the fact that County Attorney Nyeis con.
fined to his bed from nervous prostration.
1t is remarked that the jury looks like
ghosts after six weeks pull at the case;
the lawyers are worn out with work and
worry, and even the judge looks weary
and bored, Defendant Harry Hayward
comes into court each morning fresh and
smiling as if it were matinee he is at
tending.
The State knocked few more props
from under the defense in rebuttal today.
Louis Benin swore that he was present at
conversation between Liveryman Wilson
and james Ward, when the former was
alleged to have said that it was not Harry
but 1Adry Hayward he saw driving with
Miss Cling the night of the murder.
Benin declared the Haywards were not
mentioned in the whole conversation.
Ernest Camash testified that he saw
George Grindall on the east side, many
suks away, when GfindaH sweafs he

portant witnesses for the defense i'm
peached.
gun expert was then called to show
that the bullets in various makes of cart
ridges differ in weight.
This was to offset Erwin's coup show
ing that the cartridge used to kill Miss
Cling was a 3S-long and not 3S-short, as
Blixt testified.
DR.. Dunsmore, after critical examina-
ton of the skull, testified positively in
answer to questions that the laceration
on the face and the fractures of the skull
might have been caused by fall from the
buggy, of the body, such as was desert bed
by Blixt, or even that the bullet might
have caused the fracture.
Mr. Dunn. another expert for the state,
followed and gave similar testimony.
Mr.. Erwin was unable to shake the be-
lief of the witness that this was impossi-
BILE.
DIR. Dunsmore had known of double
fractures resulting from the fall of body
standing on its feet.
Mrs., Adry Hayward swore that Adry
took her riding on the night the hold-up
occurred. She denied statements OF
Harry.
Adry Hayward corroborated his wife s
statement in regard to the drive.
Adjourned.
1t is probable that the trial will be
strung out much longer than expected.

OPPOSITION TO PACIFIC MAIL
The Old Collier Willamette VIII Hunt for
South American Trade

San Francisco, March 1.-The steamer
Willamette is preparing to join the Port
land in the coast trade along the Pacific
side of the Central American republics.
She has been chartered by the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company and will leave
for the south in few days. The Pacific
Mail people have heretofore neglected the
small ports south of Mazatan, with the
result that an opposition line of steamers,
backed by promises OF support from the
planters of Central America was being
organized to run from Sound ports to
Panama, with the purpose of paying par
ticular attention to the business OF the
small ports. 1t is thought that it was the
danger Of this opposition that forced the
Pacific Mail Company to improve their
local service between ports of the South
ern republics. The Portland sailed for the
south few days ago, preparing to cater
to the trade, and the Willamette is being
lifted up SO as to give suitable accommo-
dation in the warm climate.

the great trial that occurred in Min
