DOUBLE KILLING IN HOTEL.
Indiana Man Shoots Woman and Him,
self in Chicago.

Chicago--Miss INDIA Ethel Blaine,
rs years old, was slot and killed
In the Saratoga hotel Monday
afternoon by Charles E. Andrews, 40
years old, formerly a restaurant keep
er in Elkhart, Ind, with whom she had
lived as wife for two months. After
he had made sure the woman was
dead, Andrews shot himself in the
head. He died in the ambulance on
the way to ST. Luke's hospital.
Miss Blaine came from California
last Sunday night with Andrews.
From letters found in the trunks 1t is
thought she was resident of Flora,
Ind. The letters told plainly the story
of the mans infatuation for the wo.
man. All the facts in the case go to
show that he Killed her in moment
of desperation that came to him as he
realized that he could not keep her in
the style they had grown accustomed
to and that he was in danger Of losing
her. Andrews deserted his wife and
son seven years ago and eloped with
a waitress in his restaurant. Later he
deserted the waitress when he met
Miss Blaine. .r..
The murder was brutal one. Miss
Blaine, who was good-looking, was
shot as she sat at writing desk
writing letter to Andrews son,
Charles E. Andrews, Jr., Of Elkhart.
It is supposed that Andrews started to
dictate the letter. 1t broke off sud
denly, as If some dispute had arisen
over the wording.

The announcement that this action

by Acting Secretary Adee, OF the

that the notes would not be made pub
lie here until they had been received
by the Central American states, and
probably not Until replies had been
received The exact time Of sending
the notes was not made known, but 1t
is possible that replies from some OF
the countries already have reached
Washington. ...
Mr.. Adee late Wednesday received
Minister Godoy, charge dalraires OF
the Mexican embassy, and they con-
felred at length concerning the steps
taken looking to the settlement Of
Central American disputes and ending
the almost incessant warfare be

admit that the Central American re-

conference at Washington but Senol

invitation soon will be extended In
fact, he telegraphed President Zelaya

In diplomatic circles here it is said
that none Of the Central American re-
publics can afford to decline to accept
the proffers of mediation made by the
United States and Mexico, and that
this means that permanent peace prac.

The Political activity of the Amerl'

The avowed purpose of the Doctors OF
the Regular or Allopathic school, OF
which the Association is chiefly COM
posed, is to secure the passage OF such
laws as will not only prevent the
sale of so-called Patent" medicines,
but will restrict the practice of medi-
cine and healing to the schools" now
recognized. This in many states would
prevent the growing practice OF Os-
teopathy, and in nearly every state
would prevent the healers OF the
Christian Science and mental science
belief from practicing those sciences
in which the faith of so many intelli-
gent people is so firmly rooted.
The American Medical Association
has a Committee on Legislation"
and the committee has correspond
ents in practically every township -
some 10000 correspondents in all.
This committee at the last session OF
the American Medical Association
held in June of this year expressed a
hope that larger number of physi'
clans than heretofore will offer them
selves as candidates for Congress at
the first opportunity. In it's annual
report this Committee said: ITO meet
the growing demands of the move
ment, however, particularly If the
work of active participation in State
legislation is undertaken, larger
clerical force must be employed
This is almost the first time in the
history of the United States that any
organized class has frankly avowed
the purpose of capturing legislatures
and dominating legislation in their
own selfish interests.
The American Medical Association
has about $4,000 members of whom
$4,000 are fully constituted men,
bers" and the rest are members be-
cause of their af1lliation with state or
local societies. The Association owns
real estate in Chicago valued at SILL.
1871 and its total assets are $291,'
$3.50. It's liabilities, at the time Of
the annual report which was made at
the June meeting, amounted to only
$21,906. The excess of assets over
liabilities is increasing at the rate Of
about 100000 a year, and the purpose
of the organization is to dominate
the field of medicine, and by crushing
all competitions by securing the pas
sage of prohibitive legislation, compel
all of the people of the United States
to pay Doctors fee every time the
most simple remedy is needed.

by DR. Richard Bartholdt OF st. LOUIS,

American representative OF the n

due to hard work Of the American
delegates and the cordial co-opera-
ton of the German delegates win

was disposed OF, the conference set
tied down to practical work for ar
bitration.
The conference will accomplish
three things: First, it will provide
for periodical meeting OF The Hague
conference, probably every five years.
without call; second The Hague
court will be made permanent with
seventeen permanent judges, recelv-
ing salaries from all nations COM
bined, thus being impartial and inde-
pendent; third, an arbitration treaty
specifying questions In which arhs-
tration shall be obligatory. rms
will include the collection of debts.
Every Apractical friend of peace will
be satisfied when the conference
