the senator, are the constant fault

Maud Blackburn Swallows
Morphine Because of
A Quarrel.
LEAVES PATHETIC NOTE
"GOod Bye, Fred...God Knows !
Love YOU" Is the Message
Sent Her Lover
LEAVES PATHETIC NOTE

"Godby, Fred. God knows, I love
you"
The little note published above was
received early last evening by Fred
Grosscopf, night bartender in the
Brunswick saloon, on Howard street
near Front avenue, nut he did not
think the writer of the message,
Maud Blackburn, with whom he had
been living. would be dead in her
room in the Eagle building this morn
ing.
Mrs. Grosscopf, as she was known
by other women in the Eagle. had
been moody for several days because
she was to lose the man she loved,
but even they did not think she would
carry into execution the threat to
end her life.
After a little scene in their room
last night between the man and wom-
an Grosscopf went to his work in
the Brunswick. 1t was shortly after
wards that the little farewell note
came to the saloon. 1t was read and
passed over as idle talk.
Other women were in Mrs. Gross
ming, and her spirits seemed to have
frightened. and she told one or two
funny stories. she being especially
clever in conversation.
Half an hour later, some women
who roomed down the hall heard her
grooming. The room was entered and
on the dresser near the bed was a
bottle that had contained 60 grains of
morphine 1t had just been purchased
and quickly told the story Anti
dotes were sent for, and the women
living on the floor near room &c went
to work to revive the sufferer. Short
ly before midnight they were rein
forced by DR.. G. A. Downs. who has
an office in the Granite building.
DR.. Downs worked over the patient
until after daylight. at which time
he sent for a nurse in St. Luke's hos
pital. The nurse got to the Eagle
block at 10 o'clock this morning and
15 minutes later the woman died.

Il believe Ben Driscoll furnished
the money to get the Adler girl out
of the country. The money was paid
by q woman to Nelson, in the Driscoll

TO ERECT new
!. HIGH SCHOOL
Board of Education Will Consider Plans
to Abandon Old High School Build
ina at Next Meeting>

Plans to come UP at the next meet
ing of the city board Of education are
to abandon the high school building,
which is bounded by Howard street,
Stevens street. Fourth and Fifth ave-
nues. to ward school work, and to
erect a new high school on the vacant
lots owned by the school department
fronting on College avenue, Madison
street and Jefferson street.
1t may also be decided to build ad-
North Monroe street, to the Mckinley
school on the school section, to the
Garfield school on North Division
street, to the Webster school in Sinto
addition, and to the Franklin school
on East Front avenue. In all the
additions would cost the city about
$3.50, 600.
Reasons for moving the high
school to the north side are that the
location will be more convenient to
the street car system of the city, and
such a move will be along the line
Of economy" said a prominent edu-
Gator today. IF the present high
school is increased in size by means
of AN addition, the cost will be con-
siderable, and it will be only tenn
porary arrangements at best.
Estimates made indicate that the
new building could be erected on Col
lege avenue at li,ue greater expense
than the cost of the improvements
would be to the old building. Fur
thelmore. arrangements must be made
in the vicinity of the present high

school to accommodate the rapidly in
creasing population of ward school
students in that section Of the city.
THE College avenue site will be
reached by the new street car line to
be laid on Indiana avenue. and will be
within a block of all the street car
lines or street car transfer permits
in the city. Furthermore, most Of
the high school students have to go
long ways to school, and 1t is best
that their school be situated at the
point that is most convenient.
I'm case the new high school build
ing is put up and the older buildings
devoted to the younger students. i'm
provements would not have to be
made to some Of the ward school
buildings that under the old system
will have to be increased in size.
Furthermore, 1t is estimated by
the board of education that while the
school population was only a little
over 5000 last year, it will have in
creased to 10000 by the time the GEN.
sus Is taken in June. The increase
comes from a rapid growth of the
city and from so many more children
than usual coming of school age this
year. The improvements made during
the past year and those under way
will not nearly accommodate the
pupils.
THE matter will be determined
at the meetings this week, when one
of 10 candidates in view will be
chosen as a successor to Professor j.
F. Saylor as city superintendent of
schools"

WASHINGTON, March 14-Presi-
dent Roosevelt has demanded the
resignation of James Tyner, assistant
attorney general of the postoffice de-
partment. He is an Indiana man who
has served in his present capacity
for nearly 40 years. For a number
of years he has been partially
paralyxed.
The president believed If he had
been a stronger man certain alleged
scandals In connection with handling
the ''get-rich-quick' concerns would
not ihave happened. This is believed
to BE the opening move in what may
prove to be the biggest administra-
ton scandal that has shocked the
country in many years.
1t is openly stated 1t may involve
officials of great prominent, with a
leading senator and a relative of a
member OF the cabinet.
The story is that the president has
been told that certain officials have
been using their positions to extort
money from ''set-rich-Quick" COM

amount of money. This time the
amount given proved enough. and the
Adler girl gave Hasner, one of the
go-betweens. $25 for what he had
done and for driving her to Rath-

night and took their places in line
facing the doors of the Devens In

present at the opening of the Co.

of the company's business at o'clock

All day the ranks of the walters
were added to. AS fast as new people
came they were given seats in the
hallway Those who were willing to
wait for from "a to SO hours in order
to be early in the opportunity to Sc
lect homes had meals brought to
them, and were grimly facing the
chances that waited them. In the line
were old men and young men. One
or two women dropped In from time
to time in order that the patience of
the walters might not relax.
To those in the line who had care
fally investigated the cooperative
plan of the Devens company, this
seemed to be the chance OF a lifetime
to own their own property. Many
had heard of people elsewhere get

the example that had been set.
This cooperative method is not
new elsewhere In the country. 1t is
merely slow in being adopted In this

an unbounded success elsewhere. and
