TWO END LIVES At
DOOR OF CELL

ELMIRA, N. z, Dec. 26.-Although a
guard was standing close behind him
tonight, Frank Delaney, a railroad men,
succeeded in a bold attempt to end his
life and the life Of woman who occu-
pied a cell in the womens dormitory
of the Elmira County Jail. The woman
was Bessie Wills, awaiting sentence on
January for abducting a young girl
and harboring her for immoral pur-
poses.
Delaney possessed a power of attor-
ney from the woman and when he called
at the Jail and stated that he wished
to consult her regarding the signing
of important papers there was no OBJ
lection on the part of the warden, who
sent guard along with him. The
guard stood close by while the man
and woman were comforting together,
when suddenly Delaney drew from his
pocket a bottle of carbolic acid and
passed it through the bars. The woman
seized it and swallowed the contents
Instantly Delaney pressed a second
bottle to his own lips. The guard
sprang upon him, but the man fought
him fiercely for a moment and then
collapsed. He died before physician
could be called.
When the door of the cell was un-
bolted the woman lay dying on the
floor She expired within short time.

been given these options for one year
Tor the purpose Of sale.
With this important purchase by the
London company the principle of COM

the Union Oil Company has control of
the Santa Maria fields as well as other
southern territory.

In this area are many wells in opera

lands is said by expert oil men to be
upward Of $1,000 an acre, and in some
parts Of the territory included in the
sale they are worth a much higher
figure.

Falk laws and the retnrn.of the
Jesuits to Germany. Since that
day the clerieals have been the
friends of the government, and
an unvaryins support to imperial
policies.
There can, of course, be no
real alliance between the clerl-
Gals and the socialists. They
have found themselves in the
same lobby, but we may be sure
that they looked at each other
askance. If the present quarrel
continues between the govern
ment and the clericals, it will
throw the balance of power into
the hands of the socialists, who
can com bine with either party in
turn to the detriment Of the
third party And the socialists
hate both the clericals and the
government with an entire i'm
partiality.

GERMAN CATHOLICS

The defeat of the German
government in the Reichstag has
great significance because it
seems to involve a breach with
the Vatican, says the Sacramento
Record Union. The question be-
fore the house was an approprla-
ton for the war that Germany is
now waging in Southern Africa.
The vote was defeated by a COM
bination between the Clerlcals,
the socialists and the Poles, and
the significance of the incident
lies in the fact that the clericals
have hitherto been among the
most steadfast supporters of the
emperor and the government.
Ii breach has actually occurred
il will be a serious EN- barrass-
mont to the Vatican, where the
French crisis is already sulli-
GENTLY engrossing.
There may be more than one
reason for the present attitude
of the clericals. There have
been some very ugly stories of
the ill-treatment of natives and
the wholesale torture and de-
bauchery of native women by
German officials. Indeed, the
German minor authorities in
Africa seem bent on rivaling he
atrocities of the Belgians in the
Congo Free State. These reports
may have had their weight with
the clerical party in the Reich
stag, as they certainly had with
the socialists.
Then, again, there are the OPP
presslve measures adopted by
the German government toward
the Catholic Poles. Germany has
determined that the Poles shall
forget their nationality, and this
is never an easy task to under
take. The Poles are intensely
patriotic. They cling to their
national traditions and to their
national language, and the effort
to make them relinquish both
has been attended with brutali-
ties. These have naturally been
resented by the clerical party in
Germany, and may have con-
duced to its present attitude of
hostility.
Whatever the causes may be,
the results may be serious. When
the German emperor visited the
pope it was said that basis had
been laid for an understanding
and mutual recognition. The
fruit of the new order was at
once seen in the repeal of the
