WOMAN STILL ALIVE
HOSPITAL PHYSICIANS HOPELESS
OF HER RECOVERY.
Mrs. Taylor Fatally injured by Her
Husband-The Latter Also
in Hospital.

Mrs. Taylor. who was the victim of
murderous assault at the hands of her hus-
band Fillmore Taylor. shortly after l
o'clock yesterday afternoon at their home,
1913 10Th street Georgetown, is still at the
Georgetown University Hospital, but is in
a dying condition. An operation was per-
formed yesterday and u dozen pieces of
bone taken from the wound. The hospital
physicians stated that the wife had her
skull crushed to the extent of four inches
square in area on the left side of her head,
and not the slightest hope exists for her
recovery.
The three little children, ranging in age
from seven to thirteen years, who were
in the house at the time the horrible deed
was committed have been taken in charge
by a neighbor. Their mother came from
Brandy Station, Va, about one year ago
and supported herself and children by sew
ing and washing Neighbors state that
Taylor had several times threatened to kill
his wife and that their meetings, which
were infrequent were the scenes of bit
ter quarrels. The charges made by Taylor
against his wife discredited by neigh
bors in the vicinity.
Taylor Makes Statement
Taylor taken to police headquarters
this morning and afterward removed
to the Washington Asylum Hospital 1t
was the intention of the Georgetown police
to have him photographed and committed
to Jail by the judge of the Police Court but
Captain Boardman thought his condition
was such that he should be placed under
the care of surgeons without having to
stand the strain of being transferred from
one place to another and being measured
and photographed. 1t was explained that
he could not be kept at the Georgetown
University Hospital because there was no
strong room in which to keep him. Under
the circumstances the surgeons would not
assume responsibility for his detention and
he was returned to the station during the
night.
''All 1 want in the NATTER the wounded
man said to a Star reporter this morning,
lis for the truth to be told all along the
line. / also want to say to my friends that
the officers have treated me well since they
arrested me; better than church officers
would have treated me-
Taylor said his wife packed her satchel
and started to leave the house. when he
beRg her not to leave her three little
children. He said he took hold of the atchel
to pull her back and then the trouble start
ed in earnest. His wife cut his throat with
a carving knife, but inflicted only a slight
scratch. The more serious cut, he said, he
inflicted himself.

GREAT STRIDES
Made by the Prudential Insurance Co.
in Past Year.

The claim of the Prudential Insur-
ance company of America that it HAS
the Strength of gibraltar is amply
justified by the figures shown in its an
nual statement published in the State
Journal
From these figures it appears that no
less a sum than 1898, 900, 900 of paid for
life insurance was written during the
year 1903 bringing the total amount of
paid for life insurance in force up to
the astonishing sum of 1881, 100000
The number of policies in force is over
five million, or in other words, it may
be stated that more than one million
families enjoy the benefits of life insur-
ance protection through the Prudential.
There is a surplus of more than $10,-
000, 900 available to be drawn upon if
necessary and Prudential policy holders
are to be congratulated upon the
strength and prosperity of the institu-
ton in which they have invested their
savings. Write to the Home Office of
the company, Newark. N J., for infor-
nation concerning its policies, which
furnish guaranteed protection to the
family as well as dividends to the policy
holders.

AT THE PLAY LAST NIGHT.

Sweet Clover" which would smell as
sweet if called Honey Dew" Alfalfa
Blossoms or Meadow Gold" was at
the Crawford last night as the vehicle
in which Otis B. Thayer is starring.
Adelaide Thurston was the original star
in the pieces and it was built for her.
Miss Thurston is good in anything no
matter how bad it is and she saved the
piece from utter oblivion when she was
the star. The role for Mr.. Thayer is
that of a tottering old man of the sim
pie style and type set as a model by
Denman Thompson in his 'Old Home
stead" only it is weaker, and there is
nothing in it as an excuse for a person
starring in the role. The play is weak
and commonplace and ridiculous and
absurd. For instance in one scene,
fancy dress party among the elect of
Boston, a country girl, just married, ap-
pears as Rosalind in very tight tights
and a very short mantle. Think of it,
and in Boston, too! Thayer would be
good in better play. He is a capable
actor.

founded during the seventies, not long
after the Franco-PruSSian war, in
which Miss Barton was a prominent
figure in the European Red Cross work.
The Red Cross existed on the conti-
nent for some time previous to it's es-
adjustment in America. It was formed
through an international conference AZ
Geneva and by government treaty the
representatives of the Red Cross So
ciety were given authority to care for
sick and wounded during military op-
erations with freedom to pass through
either line of those engaged. Upon re-
turning to America after the Franco
Prussian war Miss Barton who pos
sessed some means spent four or five
years and considerable money in in
ducing the United States government,
which was not then a. party to the
Geneva agreement, to adopt treaties
with other civilized countries for the
protection of the Red Cross society.
By that treaty the president of the
United States and the members of his
cabinet are ex-officio members of the
American Red Cross society Since the
unpleasantness at the last annual

VOICE OF A REPUBLICAN.
John A. Cragun, of Kingman, In
quires About Kelly.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
The writer has been a lifelong Re
publican. but we never knew of
newspaper campaign in the party
waged so numerically and SO devoid
of harmony and the principles of sue
six months by a newspaper combine.
Even after Governor Bailey, for the
sake of harmony and party success,
withdraws from the race and stands
the humiliation like a brave and
great man. granting to E. w. Hoch
clear field. yet there is no letup. and
this newspaper trust of Topeka and
Kansas City, Mo-, still keep up the
battle, and they are today through
false deception forming one of the
most gigantic machines ever known in
the state of Kansas. and many of the
Republican voters are going blindly
into it. Do the Topeka bankers and
the railroad oofficialS who own the
Journal think they can always fool the
people? Why is this battle still being
waged if it isn't for the formation of
this mighty machine and for the direct
benefit of the railroads and the loot
ing of the state treasury? Who will
get the benefit of this battlecry?
Mr.. HOch says and advocates purity
but does he advocate the nomination of
Tom Kelly for state treasurer? We do
not think so, as we have much faith
in Mr. Hoch and we do not believe he
will give his consent to run on a tick
ct with a man having the record which
Mr.. Kelly has. Thousands of honest
Republican voters are waiting to see.
Tom Kelly is called an embezzler and
a thief and evidence of same is said to
be shown on records in Miami county.
1t is said he caused the defeat of the
BILL in the senate, recommended by
Governor Bailey, making the Topeka
banks pay interest to the state depos-
it's belonging to the state, he and his
friends, the newspaper combine, pock-
citing thousands of dollars of interest,
rightfully belonging to the tax payers
of Kansas. And the same Tom Kelly
caused the state board of equalization,
of which he is a member, to raise the
tax on farm in So counties in Kansas,
about $50 900, 600, at the same time low
ering the tax in his Miami county, and
practically letting the railroad tax
alone, lowering it some in this, King
man county.
If Mr.. Kelly had raised the railroads
in proportion, the same as. he did the
farmers tax, the railroads would have
paid last year about $16O,OOO more tax
than they did pay. No wonder corpora
tons sent as high as $4,000 in one county
to defeat Governor Bailey. VIII this
or tolerate the nomination of such a
man? Will the Republicans of Kansas
tolerate such a thing?
Kansas farmers, do you want such a
man to handle your money regardless
of policies? The fair name of Kansas
now hangs her head in shame, because
of disgrace brought by Republican
who has been tried and found wanting.
Will Mr.. Hoch permit the denomination
of man of such character?

duties in the CAPACITY of attorney for
Miss Barton. Mr.. Ste5bins said today:
1T is not known as vet that there
will be any charges against which it
will be necessary for Miss Barton to
defend herself. 1t has been entirely
at her request that the commission has
been appointed to hold the investiga-
ton, and we have lately notified the
members that we are ready for any
hearing that may be held. Not until
some charge of misconduct is made
will there be anything for her lawyers
to do. The funds of the American Red

For the past four or five years Mr.
Stebbins has been a member of the

paratively small membership. It was
through this association with Miss
Barton at several of the annual meet

home at Glen Echo, ten miles from

L. A. Stebbins, of Topeka, to
Represent Famous Woman.
One of Two Attorneys Who Will
Appear for Her.
IMPORTANT HEARING.
Red Cross Leader Will Seek
Public Vindication.
Result Of Controversy Which
Attracted Much Attention.

L. A. Stebbins of Topeka has been re-
tanned as one of the two attorneys who
will represent Miss Clara Barton, presi-
dent of the American Red Cross society,
in the hearing of charges of official
misconduct before the commission of
Investigation which has been appointed
at her request. The attorney with
whom Mr.. Stebbins will be associated
will be Judge Sheldon of Hartford,
Conn. No time has been fixed for the
sitting of the investigation commission
but upon notification Mr.. Stebbins will
leave for the east to assume his duties
in Miss Barton's defense.
This investigation will attract inter-
national attention as Miss Barton has
been at the head of the American
branch of the Red Cross society since
its establishment, thirty years ago, and
her name is familiar to every citizen of
the United States. The expected charges
of official misconduct will be brought.
If brought at all, by members of the
Red Cross society who, during the past
year or more, have given rise to ad-
verse criticism of her administration.
The committee was appointed at the an
nual meeting last December by Richard
Olney, former secretary of state, and
consists of John G. Carlisle, ex-Secre-
tary of the treasury, Senator Proctor of
Vermont and Representative Smith of
Michigan. At the last meeting of the
society Miss Barton was elected presi-
dent for life. Out of a total membership
of about 100 the insurgents in the order
are said to number about thirteen At
previous meetings they have opposed
Miss Barton'S administrative policy and
without ever preferring charges of mis-
appropriation of funds, have intimated
that moneys of the society have been di-
verted from the uses for which they
were designed. In order that any ner-
