From this sister Mrs. Newman expected
assistance for the children.
She was unable to sleep below and
Captain Curtis had couch with
blankets arranged for her on deck. She
complained that for forty-eight hours
she had not had any sleep and her
wakeful nights had seemingly been
spent in brooding over her loss and
new responsibilities.
On the second night on deck, she sud-
denly threw off the blankets and ex-
claimed, TT is better to make an end
of it; it will only take five minutes"
and rushed to the rail. The mate,
whose watch it was, heard the words
and saw the figure gliding to the side
He sprang TO the rail and arrested the
action of the grief-crazed woman.
Mrs. Newman made no second at
tempt and with her children seemed
more able to bear up as the voyage
went on. She left for Chicago shortly
after her arrival in San Francisco.

Belser backed by 81 voters of that pre-
cinct, averred that the decision of the
judges of election in striking their
names from the list of voters because
they had not signed the club rolls prior
to the election, was wrong and unjust.
Carlos Long claimed that the fact
were not on the rolls and that the rolls
had been kept away from them.
Charles Hustace, president of the pre-
cinct club, made vigorous speech in
which he declared that the rolls were
kept on the secretary's desk for sigma
ture and that he did not think it neces-
sary for the rolls to be taken to the
signers for their special convenience.
After considerable argument pro and
con the committee upheld the decision
Of the judges. There is some talk of
bringing up the matter again before

matters. All the delegates were pres
