MRS. C. K. DAVIS SAILS
SENATOR'S WIDOW WILL ATTEND
CORONATION OF KING
Will Visit Italy to See TrentanOve'@
Proposed Monument Designed to
Mark Her Husbands Resting
Place in Arlington.

F. WASHINGTON. April Mrs Cush-
man K. Davis, widow OF the senator
from Minnesota, will sail for Europe ear
ly in May to attend the coronation and
spend some time with her cousin, Mrs.
Enrique de Miralos, at the Iatter's cha
teau at Neuilly. This magnificent prop
erty was recently purchased from an In
dian nabob. Here Mrs. Davis will be en-
tertained in fitting manner by her cousin,
a woman Of vast wealth.
Mrs De MiralOs is a cousin of Mrs
Davis through her father. the late Ed
ward Agnew, of Minneapolis. This visit
to the chateau was planned at the time
when the late senator was taken i'll, and
so has been abandoned until now
Mrs. Davis trip abroad will besa very
extended one of f1ve months duration.
In order to avoid the crush of northern
steamers going direct to London, the
voyage across the ocean will be by the
Southern route, which will enable the
traveller to visit Italy and Spain before
going to London for the coronation, and
later to stay with relatives In Scotland
and then to Norway for a glimpse of the
midnight sun.
While in Italy Mrs. Davis will see the
sculptor, Chevalier Trentanove, in con-
nection with the proposed monument
over the late senator at Arlington. This
is to be pedestal of red Italian marble
surmounted by bronze bust. The latter
will be an exact duplicate of that made
in life from sittlngs To Chevalier Trenta-
move.
1t is of marble and one of the finest
works Of art at Mrs, Davis residence in
this city. The present plan is to have
this monument completed and ready to
place in Arlington by the autumn upon

FAREWELL TO PASTOR
MEMBERS OF ST. MARY'S CHURCH
PAY PARTING TRIBUTE
Present Rev. Sullivan with Spleen
did Testimonial on Occasion Of
His Departure for New
Field Of Labor.

About 200 members Of the parish Of st.
Mary's church gathered in the parIors
at the Ryan last night to tender a fare
we'll to Rev. Richard p O'Sullivan, who
has been pastor fthe church for the
past two and a half years, and who Is
now going to Cleveland, where he will
probably conduct the services in the
cathedral
The men and women of the parish pre-
scented Father OSullivan with a draft
on a local bank for $1,000, a complete
set of beautiful vestments and some
handsome travelling bags.
The presentation was made by Mrs
Malta on behalf of tAe women and was
as follows:
Reverend and Dear Father: Our trib-
ute, though it be slight finds its insplra-
ton deep in the hearts of the partici-
pants, and Is intended TO express some
sense of the respect and affection, so
quickly esta blished and so strongly sus-
tanned. now 10 become the foundation OF
a blessed memory
The recollections Of that too brief stay
in St. Mary's is the priceless legacy OF
the subscribers. May those to whom
You go forth TO administer show instant
appreciation of the blessings that have
fallen to their lot, and may they uphold
and respect you according to your high
desert, that to you also may come
proper share of the comfort and happi-
ness Of the new relationship.
May We be ever in your heart, and
often in your mind and prayers.
In responding to the presentation re-
marks, Father O'SGllivan referred to the
Isolation of the life of one of his calling
made necessary by the obligations of the
priesthood and said that this made 1t all
the harded to part, as he had learned
to love all his parishioners and regard
them as one family, of which he was
the head.
He spoke of his first impressions on
coming mere direct from Ireland. where

ELECTRICAL WORKERS OF TWIN
CITY TELEPHONE COMPANY
TO GUT WORK
THEIR SCALE WAS NOT SIGNED
One Hundred and Fifty. Men In Two
Cities VIII BE InVOIVed-De-
cisiOn Reached Last
Night.
THEIR SCALE WAS NOT SIGNED

One hundred and fifty electrical workers
in the employ of the Twin City Telephone
company in st. Paul and Minnea polls will
walk out in a body this morning, in ac-
cordance with a decision reached last
night at a meeting held in Mime
apols. For three weeks the represen-
tatives of the men have been negotiating
with the management of the company
endeavoring to induce it to sign the wage
scale proposed by the -vnion, and -1lich
was signed by the Northwestern Tele-
phone company last week, but all at
tempts to settle the matter amicably have
failed, and at a secret meeting held last
night the joint committees representing
local unions % and a. of st. Paul and
Minneapolis respectively united in deciG-
ing that the position Of the company was
unfair
The order to suspend work pending a
settlement Of the points in dispute will
affect all the electrical experts in the
employ of the company, both at inside
and outside work.
All foremen and those in charge Of work
have been instructed by the Brother
hood to leave all work and material in
such condition as will insure perfect
safety to the public in general and the
company in particular, before leaving
their stations.
BRIDE NOW sues for support.
The scale as submitted to the
Twin City company is identical
to that substituted to the other
telephone company and signed by it's gem
eral manager, c. P Wainman. No differ
ence in the hours of work is contemplated
and the increase in wages amounts to
about S. per man per month. III appears
that the company does not object to the
terms demanded so much as to the fact
the men are insisting upon recognition as
members Of an organized brotherhood.

SHOCKING MURDER OF GIRL
ON SHIP
TooMBs TRIAL HOLDS CROWDS
After Killing Girl, the Onty Eye
Witness of Crime Says the AIIerad
Slayer Threw Her Weighted
Body Into the Lake.

CHICAGO, April 1. = Robert Keissig,
whose accusation brought about the ar
rest of Louis G. Toombs for the murder
Of Carrie Larsen last winter, was placed
on the witness stand today The court
room was crowded with spectators who
had come to-hear the. details of this re-
voting crime. The prisoner maintained
his stoical appearance and seemed only
slightly interested in the testimony.
A rope with which Keissig said the IN
fortunate woman was bound and pieces
of iron with which the witness said the
body was weighed. We're produced and
admitted as evidence.
Keissig said that Toombs met Carrie
Larsen at an employment agency and
promised her work as an assistant cook
on the ship Peerless, then lying in the
Chicago river, fast in the ice. Keissig,
who is nineteen years of age said that
on the night of the murder ne was lying
IN his bunk on the boat. Toombs, he
SAID, undressed and also laid down. Car
RE Larsen was in her StaterOom
In order to get her out, he said Toombs
ordered her to cook his supper. When
she left the security of her room she was
attacked by Toombs. sToombs seized her,
the witness said, and she resisted so
death. Then Toombs laid down on his
bunk for while. leaving the body
stretched on the cabin floor.
Keissig, speechless with horror, watch
ed the comnii ssion of the crime from his
berth. The story of the witness telling
of acts after TGombs arose from his bunk
can be told only in the official records of
the courts. Many men in the court room
turned faint as they listened to the tcsti-
mony.
Attorney Barnes said that this is the
first time in the history of Chicago that
such charge has been uttered against
an alleged murderer.
The witness regained his composure
when asked to tell of the disposal of the
body. He declared that Toombs tied the
rope around it. weighted it, and then or
dered Keissig to help him to carry it 70
"a hole in the ice near the boat This was
done and Keissig said that for some days
afterward he was afraid to speak, fear
ing that Toonb would kill him.

is the elimination of a romance that is

A month ago Prof. Womack was called
upon to administer a whipping to Miss

disobeying the rules of the school.
Thinking to escape the unwelcome task,
he gave her the choice between a whip
ping and suspension from school, and
she chose the whipping, which the pro-
fessor proceeded to publicly administer
While he was applying the ruler, the
pleading face of the pupil met the eyes
of the professor. He dropped the lash.
The courtship commenced when the pun
ishment ended, and after the school term
closed the two were married at the home
of the brides parents.

looked over the prospects of arranging
a suitable auditorium. Mr. Leighton
said that it would be comparatively
simple matter.
While the building at the present time
is still in litigation, it is thought that
before long, when the matter of owner
ship is settled, that the club will be able
to get a term of years lease on it, and
then the building can be fixed up what

taken today to have Mrs Ida Gilbert
Dennis, the dressmaker who was assault
ed four months ago, removed to the gov
eminent hospital for the insane, or some
private institution. 1t is said that while
all her wounds have healed and she is ap-
parently stronger than she was a month
ago, her rawlings interfere with the proper
treatment of other patients in the hos
pital, where she was taken soon after
the assault was committed. The at
tending physicians are satisfied that her
mind will never be restored, and it has
been deemed best to remove her to an
institution entirely devoted to the care
and treatmbent of the insane. No clue
has yet been found to the perpetrator
of the crime.
