CHEYENNE GIRL ENDS LIFE
Miss Bertha Rodgers, Is Years Of
Age and Very Handsome, Takes
Dose OF Carbolic Acid.
(special to The Herald.)

Cheyenne, Wyo.. Jan. Miss Bertha
Rodgers, daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Viii
liam T Rodgers. living in South Chey-
enne, died suddenly Saturday night as
the result of carbolic acid poisoning. Two
stories are told Of the affair. the author
tiles claiming the girl, who was 10 years
of age and very handsome, committed
suicide and the family claiming the acid
was taken by mistake. the girl intend
ing to take cough medicine.
The first reports of the affair stated
that the Rodgers family had dispute
at the supper table over the disposition
of the check of Rodgers, who is a car
penter In the Union Pacific shops. 1t
seems the mother and daughter wished
to take possession of the pay check, but
Mr.. Rodgers refused to part with It.
Shortly after the discussion of the pay
check matter Miss Bertha retired to her
ROOM and an hour later the family was
aroused BY her means When Mrs. Rod
gers entered her daughters chamber she
found the girl lying on the bed dressed
and in great agony. A doctor was sum-
mOned, but nothing could be done for
her and she dice in about three hours.
Joe Hudson, the well-known bicycle
rider, arrived from Denver at 10:SO last
night to spend New Years with Miss
Bertha, with whom he had been keeping
company, and he was deeply affected
by her sudden death.

Apprehension Said to Exist in France
Has No Substantial Foun-
dation.
GERMANS FLOODING ALONG
NOTHING TO BE GAINED BY
FIGHTING.

Berlin, Jen. 1.-The German foreign
office has been aware for some time
that nervousness exists in France both
among the cabinet ministers and people
over the possibilities of a renewed con-
troversy with Germany. Baron Won
Richthoefen. the foreign secretary, was
informed a fortnight ago that the French
cabinet had serious fears of Germany's
intentions. . The secretary replied to his
informant, who was fresh from Paris.
that such apprehensions were wholly
without cause, adding:
What could Germany gain by war?
No Indications of War.
Inquiries were made here by the
French financial interests last week as
to the possibilities of Germany provok-
ing war with France and German
bankers, who are extremely we'll in
formed politically, replied that there was
not the slightest indication that the Ger
man government contemplated aggres-
sive action towards France. It was
"a thousand reasons existed against war
where one existed for it.
Nothing to Be Gained.
only presumption and vainglory," it
was added, would suggest war when
nothing moral or material could be
gained by it, while all the solid consid-
nal developments besides the thoroughly
pacific policy of the emperor, are i'm
movably in the way of fighting for ambi-
ton alone The delicately adjusted sys-
tenn of product and exchange would be
shattered by a war to such an extent
that no indemnity or territory could fur
nish compensation"
The apprehensions in France appear to
be due to a reasonable certainly that
Germany will oppose Frances position
at the Moroccan conference, now only
fortnight off, and also to the feeling
that Frances yellow book on Morocco
went rather too far In accusing Germany
OF assuming a provocative attitude and
charging her with bad faith.
British Influence.
The French government, it is asserted
here, is aware that these charges placed
Germany in an unpleasant light, that the
German government resentS them and
will reply to them firmly. This reply
may lead to continued discussion in the
press and between the public men of
the two countries British influence it

as recent utterances of Sir Charles Dixie
and the military correspondence OF the
London Times last week. But in every

France is incredible unless France has
designs which so far have not been dis
closed.
