night shortly after seven O'Clock by
Miss Lillian Evarts, aged seventeen

And the maid was found In a

Chapman, who responded to the alarm
given by the hero girl. To get
central the maid had taken the re-
ceiver down with her teeth.
The girl was soon revived and,
lying on a couch. sne told her story
to the officers, who removed the
bonds that held her feet and hands.

IShe said that shortly before seven
o'clock she stepped OUT of the back
door of the residence to get a mop
that was kept on the porch. As
she stepped out a man grabbed her
about the shoulders, and placing his
hand over her mouth, he half car
|ried and half dragged her inside the
house.
She says that she struggled as best
she could in his powerful embrace
and succeeded in getting hold of a
stove litter with which she struck him
in the face. He retaliated by strik-
ing her over the head with a black
jack. The gir1 says that the in
truder exclaimed upon entering the
kitchen, Give me the silverware that
was used here at the Christmas
dinner" When she refused, she was
tied hanT and foot and then a towel
was tied tightly over her mouth.
After placing her in a chair, ac-
cording to her story, he went through
the various rooms. Returning he re-
moved a ring from her finger and n
bracelet from her arm. The latter
being found on the floor of the kitch-

About this time, noise was heard
on the front porch and the burglar

intruder as a tall man, with long dark

that he wore black cloth over his

NEW BOARD
IS APPOINTED
Library Trustees Named by
Mayor.
MEMBERS THAT RETIRE
Have Labored Hard for the
Institutions Success.
John II. Bartram, A. G. Holland AID
Merrill A. Turney Appointed for
q Term Of Four Years.

The mayor made public his ap-
pointments to the library board
yesterday, the appointments TO De-
come effective January l. John IL.
Bartram. A. e. Holland ana Mer-
rill A. Turney were appointed Tor
the four year term and Frank
A. Huber, ]. F.. Dombaugh and H.
N. Quigley, members OF the pres
ent board. were reappointed for
two years.
The retiring members OF the
board are John j. Crawley, Dr.
|E. H. Raffensperger and M. Wad-
dell. Mr.. Crawley retires after
an excellent service of twenty
two years on the board. He
watched and fostered the growth
of the library from an institution
with mere handful of books until
today 1t is about ready TO be NOV
ed into one of the finest library
buildings in the state.
Dr. Raffensperger has been a
member of the board for the past
fifteen years Like Mr.. Crawley he
has always been very sincere
worker in the interests of this
important institution. For num-
ber of years he. has been presi-
dent of the board and in such
capacity directed many of its
policies. In 1902 DR.. Raffensperger
through his own efforts secured
the library donation from Mr..
Carnegie.
Mr.. Waddell has been member
of the board for several years
and has always been faithful
worker.
With the idea of passing the
honors around and of starting a
record of the appointment made,
the mayor decided to make the
changes. Mr.. Dombaugh is secretary
and Mr.. Huber Is treasurer of the
old board and as both gentlemen
have been reappointed, the new
board will be able to easily keep
In touch with the policies OF the
old. In the future, succeeding
mayors will be required to appoint
three new members of the board
every two years and a record will
be kept of the appointments and
of the date on which they were
made.
In connection with the appoint
ment of new board there arises
an interesting question whether
the names of the members OF the
retiring board or OF the, new board
shall be placed on the bronze
tablet that will adorn the in
terror of the new library.
Before the change Of the board
was announced tablet with the
names OF the present board was
ordered for the walls OF the lib
rary. It now remains to be seen
The Marion daily mirror. (Marion, Ohio) 1892-1912, 1907-12-28

whether the newboard will re-
fuse to put up this tablet and
will put another one in 10 place
or whether they will permit the
old board to carry out its original
intention.
The members Of the old board
claim that they built the library
and are at least emitted to this
recognition.
In addition to the library ap-
pointments the mayor reappointed
the members of the tax commits
sion and the board of sinking fund
trustees. The members of both
baords are the same. They are
|. A. Merchant, w. H. Schaffner.

other valuables In the house, within
easy reach, were not touched.
When the police arrived, the only
way they could get in was through
the window in the parlor. The win
dow was open slightly, but chair
was placed In front OF 1t 30 that 1t
was necessary to push 1t away to ent-
er through the window.
After the officers had heard the
story OF the girl, and had investigated
the situation they laughed at the bold
bad burglar story, believing, and adj
vancing some good reasons for the
belief, that the girl, either alone or
aided by some one, was seeking no
toriety.
, The girl had said that she worked
the bandage Off her head by rubbing
her face on the floor. 1t is natural
the police say, to suppose that II the
bandage could be worked of, 1t
would have slipped downward over
her neck rather than upward over
her nose. ~, IA 4s a
| The girl said that she was hit
on the head with blackjack, the
blow rendering her unconscious after
a short period, but the instrument
did not cause the slightest abrasion
OF the scalp, nor did the clothing or
hair of the girl look as though she
had been through the struggle she de-
scribed.
The kitchen door, through which
th4te urglar escaped, according to
the girls tale, was found bolted on
the inside and with the key on the
outside and turned in the lock. The
chair that was placed against the
front window. the only other possi-
BILE means of exit, was located in
such a manner that 1t would have
Ibeen impossible for person to leave
'by the window without knocking of
two Teddy bears which had been
Iplaced upon It. There is a possibility,
the police say. that the girl had her
lover place her in that position for
the notoriety that would necessarily
follow or that she planned and exc
cuted the feat herself. A burglar
would have secured the many valu-
ahles within easy reach, as there
was not the slightest danger OF in
iterruption,
Thus far the police have been un-
able to break down the story told
Iby the girl, who maintains that 1t
is true In every particular.

LOCK PLAN MAY

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. TO-
The whole question of whether con-
gress made a mistake in deciding
to construct lock canal across Pa.
mama instead of a sea level canal
will be brought before the canal
committee next week.
The commission has forwarded
data regarding borings made within
the last year to ascertain the char
acter of the foundation upon which
it is proposed to build the great
dam upon the strength anc
efficiency of which depends the loci
canal plan. The results show soft
material, practically mud, beneath
the indurated clay upon which it Is
proposed to base the foundation o.
the dam. In places the clay is
thin.

RAILROAD MEN
WILL FIGHT
TAFT

If Secretary Taft runs for presi
dent, as seems to be the republican
plan, railroad men all over the
country will fight him. This is the
statement of locomotive engineer
on one of the lines running out OF
this city.
The reason for the hostility Of Ia
Dor to the candidacy of Taft is on
account of the arbitrary and harsh
measures he adopted toward the en-
gineers and conductors during a
strike on the Toledo, Ann Arbor &
Michigan railway. Taft was judge
at Toledo at the time of the strike
and he inaugurated reign of terror
for the strikers. He is reported to
have enjoined them against strik-
ing, and several men who were un-
able to work on account of sick
ness were imprisoned. This engi-
neer said that Judge Jenkins, who
has made a national reputation by
his advocacy of government by in.
junction, was only meek and
lowly follower of Judge Taft. A
bulk of information in regard to
Taft's attitude towards the working
people is kept on tap, 1t is stated,
by Chief Engineer Warren Stone,
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers at Cleveland, Ohio.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 16.-
Baroness Elizabeth Won Rosen,
daughter of the Russian ambcssa-
dor. is the most interesting addl-
ton to the butterfly world that the
season will enjoy. Although she
was in Washington last winter, she
gave undivided attention to her
studies, particularly to the mastery
of English. Now she is well
equipped for the social fray.
In Russia, as in all continental
countries, it is not the custom for
young girls to make formal en-
trance into society. The young
baroness will therefore receive with
her mother and make the rounds of
calls, imperative in the official
world.
Baroness Elizabeth enjoys the
distinction of resembling the vi
vacious daughter of the president
and she has many little ways that
recall the springhtly Alice. But her
popularity will rest on more Sc
cure basis than this chan &c re-
semblance. She is an ardent horse
woman an expert golfer and fear
less chauffeur. In addition to this,
she made a record for long distance
swimming at Newport, Bar Harbor
and Narragansett Pier this summer.
Like the girl in the ballad, she can
trip a lively measure and sing a
pretty song.
AS for clothes, well every girl in
the land would like to change
trunks with the Baroness Elizabeth.
She has a sable coat which reaches
to her knees, lined with lovely pink
satin. She has an ermine opera
cloak, sealskin jackets, ulsters and
peck pieces, for common wear. Her
gowns and hats all bear TIE hall
