ST. JOSEPH, Mo, March 6. G.-Jealousy
on the part of one and brooding over Il
quarrel on the part of the other re-
suited in the death of a young couple
at Parnen, just north of here, yester-
day morning. Abner Davis and Miss
Della Harris have been lovers for some
time, but on several occasions they
have disagreed over the attentions of
other young men toward the girl. She
seemed to think Davis had no right to
dictate what her conduct should be in
this matter, aud Thursday night an
other quarrel followed as Il result of
Davis jealousy. He left her in a
greatly agitatcd frame of mind. and
aTtcr making some disposal of effects,
took a dose of poison. He was found
in a dying condition soon after mid
night.
Miss Harris was notified of the con-
dition of her lover and was grief
stricken. When he died she refused to
be consolcd, but went at once to her
room. In a shortytime members of the
family were aroused by the report of a
revolver. The door was forced in and
the young woman was found dying
from bullet which entered her heart.
Both young people were well and ia
vorably known in the town

health officers to see that no child un-

provided; that the female employees
have seats; that all employees shall be
allowed forty-five minutes for a mid

of each child employed that the board

Brain, Needed In All rhInr,.

Labor's principal need is brains. In
their conflict with employers the labor
ing men should not be led by profess
sional agitators, men whose Jobs de-
pend upon their raising frequent dis
turbances, but the interests of labor
should be managed by men who know
both sides of the question, said Rev.
Madison C. Peters, of New York. I'm

men, when they find themselves in
position they do not entirely under
stand, seek the counsel of lawyer or
someone who comprehends the case In
all its bearings. The laboring man
seems to think such course unneces-
sary and he suffers the consequences.
Violence sprung upon the employer

hands. Many employers do business

While the polling was being made,
the appointment of Mr.. Bliss as secre-
tary of the interior occupied attention
from Senators Teller and Stewart who
stated that while they had no inten-

president in his selection of cabinet
ministers, they still felt constrained to
point out the inadvisability of selecting
man who was not u lawyer for a DO
sition which requires the exercise of
so much legal ability.
The references to Mr. Gage were
mainly on account of what was termed
his gold standard views, and it was in
umated that. as secretary of the treas

standard. Notwithstanding the prom
ises OF the administration to promote

by King George is probably a forecast
of the reply Greece will make to the
Identical notes of the powers, insisting
upon the withdrawal of the Greek fleet
and troops from Crete within the six
days from noon on Monday last, the
time the note was delivered. His
majesty said:
Nothing will prosper in Greece un.
til the question is definitely settled.
The autonomy of Crete is out of the
question, because the Cretans reject it
and have lost faith i'll the promises of
the powers. They prefer TO die in
their own defense rather than bc
slaughtered like the Armenians
The recall of :hc Greek troops from
Crcte would mean the signal for new

mans, who see they have tho support

covered the Turkish attack on Chris
tians and shelled the victorious Cret-
ans, who were fighting for freedom
and the cross, and at a moment when
the Turks were compelled to retire.
AlOAIcI 'cly ydnneiS, IN an interview,

Greek troops would not be withdrawn
from Crete, and to have expressed the
fear that national clamor would com
pei the government to invade Turkey.
Greece, he is quoted as having added,

promised by the powers. The premier

disappear from the map rather than

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The failure
