WOMAN DRINKS
CARBOLIC ACID;
SUICIDE FEARED

Drinking carbolic acid on the second
anniversary Of the death OF her only
daughter. Mrs. Julia Darne. a widow.
dled while being taken to the Emergency
Hospital last night about 9 O'Clock from
COZ Twenty-first street. where she had
made her home for number of years.
Mrs Darne. who was forty-five years
Of age, was an employee IN DEPART
ment store. Last night, in violation OF
her custom of leaving the store al Q
o'clock. she returned to her home Short
~ after o'clock and told her friends
in the house that she was feeling i'll
and would retire to her room.
Heard Her Labored Breathing.
An hour later. while members Of the
household were singing in the parlor
below Mrs. Darne's room. they heard
labcred breathing. Upon going to the
unfortunate wCmans room they found
her door locked. After sum1nOning DR..
Nelson Brecht and two policemen, the,
door was broken down, and Mrs. Darne
was found. undressed and in bed. her
face contorted by the suffering result
ing from deadly dose Of carboIic acid.
The phial which had contained the
poison was found on the dresser
An ambulance was hurriedly sum-
moned. and Mrs. Darne was taken to
the Emergency Hospital. but the poison
had done its work before medical aid
could be rendered
Friends Say Accident.
The friends OF Mrs. Darne are per-
sistent in their contention that the trar-
edy was an accident. declaring that the
woman probably took the acid thinking,
1t was tonic, several other bottles being
on the ddrcsser.
Mrs. Darne's only living relative is a

woman since the death OF her daughter.
who was eighteen years of age She
has often had respondent moods. and
the fact that this is the anniversary
of her greatest sorrow gives an added
touch Of pathos to the lonely widow
untimely end.
Mrs. Darne comes of one of the best
families OF Maryland. She has several
relatives living at Glymont. and it rs
probable that the body will be sent theIe
for burial
She was rather small woman Of
quiet and pleasant Gerneanor. and was
greatly beloved in the community IN
which she lived.

Hummel Mixed in Case.

Abraham Hummers connection with
the Gould case has not as yet been
cleared up, but it has been established
to a certainty that the lawyer who is
now serving time on BlaclxwelTs s Island
for mulcting both sides in the ceIebrat-
ed Dodge-Morse divorce case. had made
overtures to Mrs. Gould.
The Investigators OF the Gould trou-
bles have not as yet been able to learn
whether Hummel had any negotiations
with Howard Gould or his attorney,
DE Lancey Nicoll. They are going to
interrogate Hummel Monday on this
point and in the face Of the fact that
Hummel has been neglected by all his
former friends. the investigators hope
that he will make a clean breast Of
everything.
There had been considerable talk
among lawyers as To the propricty of
De Lancey Nicolls position in the
case. ana there have been hints that
the bar association may take the mat
ter up.

disturbance. in which several Americans
were implicated. This was followed by
an attack upon a japanese bath house
across the street from the restaurant.
The trouble arose because Of the alleged
election Of two Americans from the res
taurant.
The issue between the men of the two
nationalities was then taken UP by a
mob. according to the report Of the
consul Both the restaurant and bath
house were attacked. windows were
broken, furniture overturned. and other
damage done The mob escaped through

Ambassador Aoki Protests.

Scarcely had Secretary Root COmmu-
nicated with the Attorney General when
Ambassador Aoki called. The ambas-
sador requested the State Department to
take such action as might be necessary
10 guarantee the protection OF the lives
and property OF the citizens Of his
country in San Fra ncisco. He was given
assurance that this would be done. The
ambassador was satisfied that every
thing would be done 10 insure the full
hllment OF treaty obligations.
Governor Gillette is reported in the
press dispatches as being I'm San Fran
cisco. watching the strike situation IN
his telegram to the California governor.
Secretary Root asked Governor Gillette
to exercise special effort in this case.
and ne was notified that il was incum-
bent Upon him TO see that the police
authorities of San Francisco do their
full duty in protecting the japanese.
States Rights Again.
The situation at once reverts to the
old question of how far the Government
can so in the matter of having for
eigners protected by State and munich

California officials cannot ignore. still
the officials here fear that they may be
in case Of further disturb
ances Of this nature
In looking up presidents. the Govern
ment officials point TO the Chinese trou-
bic in Denver several years ago. and
more particularly to the Malta troubles
IN New Orleans, when several Italians
were killed by a mob. Tho State Of
Louisiana failed TO give the Italians the
protection guaranteed them by our
treaty, and while the United States WIS
unable 20 force that protection. il was
obliged to pay indemnity for the lives
of the men. While none of the japanese
have been killed. or even injured. so far
as this Government is informed still II
is somewhat embarrassed over the pos

The affair was regarded as only an in
cident to the street car strike and gen
eral labor troubles with which the city
has been beset for a week or more, and
no report of 1t was sent out until after
it was learned that it had been reported
by the japanese to their consul and
he had taken official action.

and the explanation as to why no action
was taken in the matter by them and
why protection was not afforded the
japanese was that the police and other
authorities of the city have had their
hands fun in dealing with the strike
situation.

who are wondering, Are we really

The perplexing question relates to
supposedly mock marriage ceremony
performed on the train by a minister
in the party.
To relieve the monotony Of train
riding between stops many stunts"
were introduced. and the minister sug-
gested a make-believe wedding. How

Syracuse University, and Airline Hou-

roles.
Although abashed at first, the,

that the mock marriage may turn out

"For Idle Hands to Do"
The loanng habit is a menace TO
the boys of both country and city.
Every wise mother must be on her
guard against 1t for her sons. The
grocery store furnishes only too easy
a lure for village boys. and hundreds
of idlers frequent the public squares
OF the great cities. There is no &C
counting for the seeming leisure OF
the army of grown-up loafers. Most
of them are able-bodied, although
some are anemic or badly ncuriahed.
But the sad truth probably is that a
doting mother began the useless ca
,reer OF each of them. and that a hard
working wife continues the In
diligence. 1t is not easy for moth
er to invent occupations for her lit
tie son. The daughter may early be
taught to use the broom. duster and
needle. Then the doll is an unfail-
ing and exacting task-mistress. She
always needs new clothes. But work
for boyish hands and feet ia less
abundant The supply Of family err
rands is small. The coalhod has
supplanted the wood-pile. In the end
the boy sees through the device OF
ltrumped-up work. and runs away
from 1t. Happy the mother who dis
covers in her boys some taste or tai
emit. The passion of the carpenter
for tools, Of the craftsman for pencil
and paper, or of the gardener for
growing things ought to be hailed as
a safeguard against the loafing dis
ease, says Youths Companion. II no
occupation of the usual boyish sort
can be contrived. the boy may better
be put to bread-making or sweeping
than given over to idleness. There
is scarcely boy to whom a paint pot
and brushes will not appeal. and
fence and blinds and steps will bear
fresh coats of paint at frequent inter-
walls. Every device Is worth consid-
ering II it will erect one new bar
rier against the loafer's habit-the
destroyer Of every manly virtue, from
industry to self-respect

SPAIN FAR BEHIND NATIONS.
Iilltsraey Prevails There to 4 Most
Amazing Extent.

OF the 10000. 300 people inhabiting
Spain. only abe ut IS per cent. can
read and write; another two and one
half per cent. Of the population can
read without being able to write. but
the remaining 62h per cent are abb
solute illiterates. In the south of
Spain 1t is impossible to get a serv-
ant who can read and write, and
many Of the postmen are unable to
tell to whom the letters they carry
are addressed. They bring a bum
die of letters to house and the
owner looks through them and takes
those which are Cor which he thinks
are) addressed to him. The Spanish
postmen are not paid by the state:
the recipient of the letters have to
remunerate them according to the
amount Of their correspondence. and
each letter costs the addressee at
least one cent. 1t is a joke among
the easy-going Spaniards that he who
treats the postmen best receives the
most letters-whether they are In
tended for him or not
