SUICIDAL INTENTION
F0ILED BY DRUGGIST

HOBOKEN. y. J., April 26.-When a
young woman requested 10 cents worth
Of CarbOliC acid and 4 similar amount
OF strychnlne at William Chambers
drug store yesterday, he was suspicious
and substituted water for the acid, put
a poison label on the bottle. and In
place OF the strychnine gave the woman
a headache powder.
The young woman passed out, stopped
near. took the powder. drank the con-
tents of the bottle, and screamed as
she lay down in the rain on the side
walk to die"
Detective Weinthal ran to the aid of
the woman, carried her 10 the police
station close by and the police surgeon
pronounced her out of danger She was
placed in a cell when the druggist up-
peared and explained the matter.

Having enacted the Railroad Rates bill
or at least sent Il TO a committee Of con-
ference for an agreement over the Senate
amendments ii will now be in order for
Congress to give attention to the bill
which iorbids railroad companies and
other corporations making contributions
of their money TO campaign funds for the
election Of members OF Congress and
electors of President and Vice-pesidont.
During consideration of the Rates bill
Senator Culhoron of Texns introduced an
amendment directed to this purpose, but
withdrew il because the pending measure,
sknown as the Foaker-Baney bin, was
moro comprehensive. lt is now up to
Congress to enact this measure into law.
That the enactment of such n law will
be q severe strain upon the Republican
majority of Congress is selEevidcnt. In
the last three national campaigns the Re
publican party was enormously benefited
by the financial assistance it received
from the great corporations. That the
money thus placed in the hands of its
national committee accounted for its
overwhelming success is a fact ON It's
face. With ample funds at It's command,
the committee was enabled to make a
vigorous fight in every doubtful district
and TO employ corrupt. methods in order
to insure success. Deprived Of this
powerful assistance, il win not be able TO
buy victory in future contests.
But regardless Of its influence upon
the success or defeat of any political party,
this bin should become a law. 1t is a
national disgrace TO have our elections
controlled by the corrupt use of money.
