A Big Change.

A radical change is being made in
the appearance of the baggage, mail
and express cars on the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad. The platforms
and hoods are being removed to in
crease the element of safety and save
weight. The favorite riding place of
tramps is also eliminated. General
Manager Underwood has issued an
order to remove the numbers from
locomotive tenders, so that in cases
Of emergency those of the same style
may be interchangeable.

Former Oakland Girl Commits Suicide in
Washington.
Miss Elsie Haslam, trained nurse,
twenty-five years old, who lived until
a few years ago in Oakland, killed
herself with illuminating gas at 1926
Thirteenth street, n. W, Washing
ton, Saturday morning, presumably
on account of an unfortunate love
affair. The suicide was an attractive
brunette. She was graduate of the
Nurses Training School at Washing
ton and up to a few months ago was
constantly employed by many prom
inent local physicians. The breaking
off last spring of love affair with a
druggist with whom she was infatu-
ated threw the girl into an illness
that lasted for weeks. Since that
time she has been moody and often
desperate. She could not work and
refused many engagements. She
locked herself i'll the house, and at
times her cries and means could be
heard on the street. The police en-
tered the house and stopped the nurse
from throwing herself from:a window

relatives in Washington.

From the Telegram.

From the Telegram.
Mrs. J. L. Cowan, wife of the Warm
Springs Indian reservation agent, was
brought here today by Deputy United
States Marshal Roberis, under process
in equity, 20 force her to make q deed to
certain property in favor OF the Bank OF
California, which, it is alleged, was
fraudulentiy conveyed to her.
This is an aftermath of the failure of
the Linn County bank, at Albany, some
years ago, of which Mrs Cowan's hus-
band was manager, and whose principal
creditor was the Bank Of Calf Nrnia. AT
the time of the suspension of the Linn
County bank, certain real propety held
by 1t was conveyed to Mrs. Cowan. The
sbove-named creditor sought to recover
It by process OF law. Mrs. Cowan,
however refused TO nake surrender,
on the ground that she bought the pr 1p-
erty in question with money left her by
herlfather.
Despite that, the court held that the
conveyance by the bank, after it was in
Il bankrupt condition, was fraudulent.
end ordered a reconveyance.
This was several years ago, and Mrs.
Cowan continues to defy the order of the
court. The case is very interesting
one, and will probably beS heard by
Judge Bellinger next Monday.
