POLITICS TOO MUCH
FOR FRAGILE WOMAN
Defeat GOaded Miss Ella Elan to an Act
Of Desperation.
SHE AT TEMPTED SUICIDE
Failed To Be Elected POStmiStr6SS oil
Georgia Legislature.
THEN DEFEATED FOR LIBRARIAN
She Sought to Drown Her BIighted Aspirations
by Taking Deadly Drug-0ne Of The
Best Known Women in the
Cracker State.
HEN DEFEATED FOR LIBRARIAN

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 22.-Driven to despera-
ton by disappointment and defeat, Miss
Ada Eiam, a member of one of the "o,Ghst
and best families, and one of the best
known young women in Georgia, LOCKED
herself in a little room at the state hospital
and attempted to end her life by taking
morphine.
Tonight she LIES in a stupor on a cct in
the Grady hospital and expert doctors
worked to save the life that trembled in
the balance.
Miss Elam was found in an unconscious
condition this morning. Some one tried
to open the door to the room whens che
had sought death but it was locked. The
door was forced open and she was sent
at once to the Grady hospital. The cause
of the deed was disappointment in politics.
Miss Elan was one of the many applicants
for the place of assistant state librarian
Yesterday the positive announcement was
made that the place would be given to an
other. Two months ago when the legis.a-
ture convened the place of postmistra3s
was given to another young lady. This
was a bitter disappointment to the proud
spirit of Miss ELAN. During the session
of the house she did stenographic work
for the members. Every member was her
devoted friend and nearly every one en-
dorsed her for the place of assistant
librarian.
Besides this number of influential mem
bers directed personal letters to Mr..
Brown, the state librarian, asking him to
appoint Miss Elan. With this strong in
dorsement, and with that of many of the
most prominent men in the state, Miss
Elam felt certain that she would succeed
in getting the place. Yesterday Mr.. Brown
announced that he would give the position
to Mrs. Milledge. This was a death blow
to the hopes of Miss ELAN, and her at
tempt at suicide followed.
