 "Oh, you think you're smart. don't you?" said the pretty cook, according to the Chicago Daily News.
 q never thought much about 1t, but, come to think of it, guess am pretty flossy. I'm dead wise to the milkuaan, anyway. Do you think his legs is straight? Well, maybe you're right What can I have the extreme pleasure of bringin' you this mornin'? J'ever try any O this condensed milk?

To my mind, the ballot is simply one of our many modern labor-saving in- ventions, says Ellis Meredith of Den yer. It is the easiest way. The bal lot is nothing but an improved sledge- hammer, modern battering ram that enables us to wage the battle of life and observe its amenities at the same time. Tn the ten years that women have been voting in Colorado, believe they have done at least five times as much as all the rest of the non-voting women in the United States put to- gether: and I base this modest claim upon the record of our statute books as compared with those of other states. For women stand, relatively, for the same thing everywhere, and their first care is naturally and inevitably for the child. Whatever we have done, other women wish to do. Tn many states they have tried and failed. The only difference is that they are using stone age methods, while we have those of the twentieth century.

Chicago Lawyer Speculates,
Loses and Kills Himself

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, June IL
Charles H. Mccoy, a prominent attor-
ney of Chicago, committed suicide to-
day by cutting his throat with a razor
in bath tub at hotel here. Mccoy,
it is said, in the last few days had lost
$4,000 by specializing in Wall street.
He was here looking after a lawsuit.
To Judge Challen, who was associated
with him in the case, he left letter
saying:
During these months the demon OF
speculation has had me in its grip and
/ am powerless to resist it as any
drunkard is his dram, or gambler the
game. The course I am taking is all
considered the only wise one. Com

On the dresser in the room at the ho-
tel were found several letters, together
with the following note, which he had
written:
''Clock has just struck a. m. In a
few minutes I'll be ready if have the
courage.
"7:40-Tm coward after ALL
"10:05-StiH resisting. o God have
mercy, the way of the atransgressor is
hard and the wages of sin is DEATH"

BIG HEAD" is ASSET
Iowa Lawyer Is Well Paid for
Losing His Hat

Special to The Globe
DES MONIES, Iowa, June 17.-Be-
cause another man took his hat from
a hotel dining room rack Senator
James A. Trewin, of Cedar Rapids, was
retained in one of the largest civil
suits ever fought in Iowa and has just
concluded his argument before the su-
preme court.
The action was brought by the In
man Manufacturing company, of Am
sterdam, N Y, against the American
Cereal Mill company, of Cedar Rapids,
for some $4,000 for printing presses
sold which were to print in many col
ors wrappers for food packages. Little
over a year ago Senator Trewin, who
possesses an unusually large head,
was provoked in leaving hotel dining
room to find his hat was gone. He
complained to the clerk, who replied
that there was only one other man in
the house with so large a head and he
was from New York. The stranger, one
of the managers of the Inman COM
pany, came IN at that moment. His
attention was called to his error and
he was introduced to the senator as
one of the most eminent lawyers of the
state.
The Inman manager said he had
great confidence in any man who had
a head the size of his and Immediately
entered business negotiations to retain
the senator in his fight against the
cereal company. The case was one OF
the. hardest ever fought in Linn coun-
ty The New York company secured
a Judgment for S38 900 and from this
the cereal company appealed.

FOES OF LA TOILETTE
ARE GIVEN DECISION
Republican National Committee Concludes by Unani-
nous Vote to Seat the SpoonerQuares Delegation
---Governor viii Appeal to Credentials Committee.
Merry Fight in the State Will Continue Meanwhile

CHICAGO. June 17.-By unanimous
vote the Republican national commit
tee late this afternoon decided to seat
the delegates at large from Wisconsin
who are members of the stalwart
faction, headed by United States SEN
ators John c. Spooner and Joseph v.
Quarles and opposed to the Republic
ans led by Gov Robert Nj. La Toilette.
While the contest is partly settled, so
far as the national convention is con-
cerned, the dispute between the two
factions of the Badger state is by no
means ended, as the Wisconsin courts
are to be asked to determine which
of the two conventions was legally the
party convention.
The stalwart delegates at large
who were seated are Senators Spooner
and Quarles, Congressman Joseph w.
Rabcock and Emil Baensch. The dele
gates at large from the La Toilette
faction were Gov La Toilette, w. D.
Connor ISAAC Stephenson and James
B. Stout.
Will Carry Fight to the End
After the national committee had
made its decision the leaders of Mr..
La Follette.s side announced their de-
termination to carry the fight to the
end, and it is probable, in spite of the
decision of the committeeman, that the
dispute will again be fought out before
the committee on credentials in the
national convention.
The anti-La Toilette men were
equally determined to continue the
contest, which had been exceedingly
bitter
The Spooner adherents asserted that
the first legal action to be taken would
come from Their side and would very
likely be in the form of mandamus
proceedings to compel the placing of
their candidates, headed by Samuel A.
Cook for governor, on the official bal
lot of the state, or else for an injunc-
tion to prevent. the placing of the La
Toilette ticket on the official ballot.

BUTTE, Mont, June IA Butte
man named Annaweldt, who was a
passenger on the North Coast Limited,
which was held up near Bearmouth
last night, throws new light on til
affair. He insists that while two O.
the gang did the actual work, they
had confederates in the woods down
the track. After the safe had been
blown UP and the booty secured, the
two robbers rushed the engineer and
fireman down the track away from the
engine.
Mr.. Annaweldt followed unnoticed.
When the robbers had gone $50 yards
they stopped and yelled: Its US with
the fireman and engineer. Don't
shoot" Voices from the wood yelled:
"All right, come on" Then Mr.. Anna
weldt heard the tramp of horses as if
a party of men were mounting. The
robbers commanded the engineer and
fireman to stay where they were and
entered the woods. Later Mr.. Anna
weldt heard them ride away. He says,
judging from the sound, there must
have been seven or eight men.
Think 1t Is Dutch Henry"
1t is the belief here that the robbery
is. the work of the famous Dutch
Henry gang, which is the remnant
of the band of desperadoes once head
ed by Kid Curry. This crowd was
active in Teton county last winter but
has not been heard from for weeks and
was thought to have crossed the Cana
dian line.

dition of the Bearmouth sort. 1t is

thought the matter will have been de-
cided.
Will Court Follow Committee
1t was contended by the stalwart
faction that the action of the commit
tee in recognizing it will determine the
decision of the Wisconsin supreme
court.
In the arguments today the stalwarts
were represented by John M. Olin, of
Madison, and M. G. Jeffries, of James
vile. H. w. Chynoweth, of Madison,
and Gilbert E. Roe, of New York, for
merly associated with Gov. La Fol-
lette, presented the side of the La
Toilette men.
The manner of holding the separate
conventions was reviewed, the way in
which the delegates were elected was
recited, and numerous charges were
made on both sides. A rule limiting
the time of arguments on contests was
suspended, and each side was given
full opportunity to present its case.
After the vote to seat the stalwart
delegates was taken Gov. La Toilette
and supporters of his who had come
from Wisconsin Immediately took a
train for home.
The committee affirmed the report Of
the subcommittee on the selection Of
temporary officers for the convention.
These will be Charles w. Johnson, of
Minneapolis, secretary; John E. Mol
10y. of Ohio, first assistant secretary;
Elihu Root, temporary chairman;
William E. Stone, sergeant -at-arms;
David C. Owen, Milwaukee, first as
sistant sergeant t-arms. A long list
of minor employees was adopted as re-
ported by the subcommittee. The
committee then adjourned until Mon
day, all the contests having been set
tied.

MAD WOMAN FIGHTS

Runs From Deputy Sheriffs and
Assaults CIerkWho Refused
Her Poison

Determined that she would end her
life rather than return to the Roches-
ter asylum, where she had twice been
domestic employed in the family of
Joseph Elsinger, 9S5 Summit avenue,
led two deputy sheriffs a chase for al
most a mile across the hill district
yesterday afternoon, being finally cap
tured in Campbells drug store at Selby
and Victoria, where she assaulted a
clerk who refused her demands for
laudanum, with which she expected to
take her life.
When the deputy sheriffs reached
the drug store, almost exhausted after
their long and exciting chase, the
woman was given into their custody,
and in order to convey her to the court
house where she was to be examined
as to her sanity, it was necessary to
place her in irons. The crazed woman
fought and bit and begged that she be
permitted to put an end to her miser-
able existence, but despite her protests,
she was taken to the probate court,
where she was examined and ordered
sent back to Rochester.
woman made another attempt TO es-
cape and had succeeded in freeing her
self from the grasp of the Jail ma
tron, when Deputy Sheriff Johnson in
terfered. At the Jail it was necessary
to place her in a straitjacket and last
night, when she was started to Roches-
ter, two guards accompanied her.
The woman has been employed as a
domestic in the Elsinger family for
more than ten years and is said to
have most amiable disposition, ex-
cept when overcome by melancholia.
Twice before she has been sent to the
asylum, and upon several occasions has
been cared for at the detention
ward of the city hospital, but she has
always recovered sufficiently after a
short treatment to be returned, and
upon her release and recovery her. po-
sition with the Elsinger family was
always open.
Threatens to End Life
The last attack appeared to be more
severe than preceding ones, and fear
ing that the girl would succeed in end
ing her life as she had threatened to
do, Mrs. Elsinger yesterday telephoned
to the sheriff's office to have the girl
cared for. Pending the arrival of the
deputies, Mrs. Elsinger used every en-
deavor to interest the girl, but just
as Deputy Sheriffs Mueller and Miller
reached the front of the house the girl
escaped through the rear door and Sc
cured a good start on the deputies.
Then began a most exciting chase
