WHIPPING MAY CAUSE DEATH
Sixtcen.Year-Old Girl tho Victim Of an
Infuriatcd Father.


Franklin, Ind, Feb. 13.-Mollie Coop
er. who was so brutally whipped by her
father a. few days ago. will probably
not recover from her injuries.
Miss Cooper ia young lady of 16
years, and Is secretary of the Sunday
school at Bengal. near which place she
lives with her father, Sandy Cooper. a
prosperous farmer. For some time
she has been keeping company with a
young man named I.annehan. and this
has been objected to strenuously by her
father. Saturday night Cooper came
home and found that his daughter had
gone to church with the young man.
This angered him and he at once set out
after the pair and foui:d them at the
residence of the preacher. where a So
cal was being held. The infuriated
father. grasping his daughter, began to
beat her with a. buggy whip. He con-
tinucd the whipping until the whip was
worn to a stub and the girl fell un-
conscious. He then picked her up and
took her home In his buggy.
The affair caused great indignation.
but when 1t was learned that the girls
recovery was doubtful there was NUT
terings of summary justice for Cooper
should his daughter die.

made an argument before the senate
committee ON territories this morning
favoring the admission of New Mexico
as IA states. The committee has not
yet taken uD these statehood bills for
serious discussion. but the expressions
made In the committee room are such
as to indicate that the majority of the
committee is opposed to admission to
any additional states at this time. The
senators believe that none of the terri
tories now seeking admission have
reached a stage that congress would be
justified in permitting them to assume
sovereign powers. Behind all of this
is also a feeling that it would be
power Of advocates for the free coinage
of silver. the members of the committee
believing that the senators who would
represent these new states would be for

This phase of the case has never been

ment against further admission OF
territories.
