Mrs. Ross White Died Twenty
four Hours After TAX
ing Dose of Poison.
WAS TERRIBLY BURNED.
MRS. WHITE HAD BEEN DEsPoND-
EMIT SINCE THE SEPARATION
FROM HER HUSBAND SOME
TIME AGO.

Mrs. Ross White, who Tuesday aft
ernoon drank nearly two ounces of
carbolic acid at her home just off of
North Fourth street between Main and
North A streets, died Wednesday after
noon about O'Clock, just about twen-
ty-four hours after committing her
rash deed. Mrs. White was uncon-
scious at the time of her death. 1t is
regarded as remarkable that the un-
fortunate woman lived as long as she
did. as the acid burned her in a most
terrible manner.
Coroner Bramkamp is investigating
the case. but as yet has not completed
taking all the testimony. He stated
that so far as he knew Mrs White
made her successful attempt at suicide
while in a respondent mood. Mrs.
White had been separated from her
husband about year and had been
contemplating filing a complaint for
divorce She brooded constantly
between herself and her husband.
Fond Of GrandchiId.
Mrs. Frank Carter. a daughter of
Mrs. White. lived with her mother.
Mrs. Carter's young child was one OF
the few bright spots in the life of Mrs.
White. and when Mrs. Carter recently
told her mother that she intended to
take the child and live elsewhere, Mrs.
White was heartbroken. The thought
that she would be deprived of having
the child near her is also believed by
the coroner to be one reason why Mrs.
White took her life.
Mrs. White had for years been a hard
working woman and had known but
few of the pleasures of life. After
separating from her husband. Mrs.
White brooded constantly and her sis
ter, Mrs. Mary Gilbert. who lived with
her. stated TO the coroner that Mrs.
White had several times threatened to
end her unhappy existence by the sui
eide route. Mrs. Gilbert and Mrs.
Carter did not seriously think that Mrs
White would ever carry out her
threats

The Detailed Figures on the
Chautauqua Are Not Yet
In Readiness.
ELECTION CAN BE EARLY.
MATTER OF A GREATER cHAU.
TAUoUA AT THE HAWKINS SITE
LIKELY TO BE TURNED OVER
TO SHAW.

At meeting of the chautauqua as
sociation Wednesday evening the fin
ancial side of the recent assembly was
discussed at length and the opinion
is that the net proceeds for this year
will be about the same as last. Al
though the attendance was better and
more money received. not as much
was realized on the sale of privileges
this year as formerly. The managers
were disappointed in the failure OF
the man To come from Bloomington,
Ill. who was to take charge of the
dining tent. This privilege was turn
ed over to Heterick. restaurant man.
free and nothing was realized by the
association. Another source OF loss
this year was caused by the f1!lure
of several who signified their inten-
tions to camp. to come or pay for
their tent rental. Loss by the asso-
citation was also sustained by the fact
that an extra number of tents was or
dered in anticipation of n sudden de-
mand at the last. but were not used.
The cost of advertising this year was
much larger than that of last season.
Secretary Hiser states that no figu-
res will be given out until all the bills
are paid and all the outstanding mon
ey has been collected.
May Elect at Once.
The question of Immediately elecr-
ing the new board Of directors ana
the selection of officers was consider
ed Under the incorporation papers
the election can not take place until
after the first of the year, but at the
meeting 1t was decided that 1t would
be perfectly legal to hold the election
of directors and the selection OF off,
GERS at once and still; observe the die
tates Of the incorporation by not SAN
ctioning the election until the first of
the year BY this method. the on
GERS could he selected and be well on
their way i'm their work by the first
of the year, the sanctioning OF the
committees and elections being made
after the first of January.
The Greater Chautauqua.
The question of holding the chan-
tauqua at the Hawkins tract was
briefly discussed. 1t was the prevail
ing opinion that IL the matter could
be accomplished before next year, IL
is best to do so at once. The general
feeling is that the chautauqua has
reached it's full growth with its pres
ent location and If at all possible, the
chautauqua will be in its new location
by next season. The plan is TO sell
lots at 500, this meaning a lease for
80 years. II is believed that sale OF
200 lots at this price could easily be
done. With this plan the money real
lied from the sale OF lots would be ex-
pended in arranging the grounds and
building the auditorium. The lot
holders would be the stockholders. 1t
is probable that the sale of lots and
subscription of carital will be turned
over to James Shaw.
Another meeting will be held In a
week to have the final report OF Sec
retary Hiser and settle all othse
finished business.

For Strikers.
w. u. DECLARES DIVIDEND.
DIRECTORS ADOPT EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEES RESOLUTIONS ON
"LATE STRIKE"-SMALLO ON THE
ROOSEVELT FEATURE.

Chicago, Sept. 12.-An appeal to all
labor unions in the country to assist
financially the striking telegraphers
has been issued by Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor. Criticism of the local Off
GERS for the manner in which relief
funds have been distributed continued
ious to have President Paulson of the
local union appear on the platform at
Brands Hall and make few explana-
tions. but he was busy in other direc-
tions and failed to appear.
Unions Ready to Assist.
Other labor unions in the city are
said to be ready to assist the strikers
if called upon, but they have Eeen
waiting for a committee to visit them.
Members of the National executive
board say that instead of working to
raise funds the local strike leaders
have been preaching ''class consci-
ousness' at the daily meetings and
spreading the propaganda of Social
ism.
Because of dissatisfaction over the
payment of strike funds the telegraph
companies expected Z stampede OF
strikers, but there we're few deser-
tions. The companies said there were
a few men returned, and the strike
leaders denied that there had been
any break in their ranks.

New York, Sept. 12.-The resolu-
ton of the executive committee of the
Western Union Telegraph company,
indorsing the policy of the officials or
the company in fighting the strike OF
the teiegraphers to Il finish. which
was passed on Tuesday, was adopted
at the quarterly meeting of the board
of directors. Secretary Brewer simp-
Iy announced that the usual quarterly
dividend of / Il per cent had been de-
clared, and that the resolution COM
mending President cSlowry and the
other officials for their management
of the "late strike" mad been adopt
ed. The customary statement of the
earnings was not made, and no expla-
nation was forthcoming.
Regarding the possible intervention
of President Roosevelt, Samuel Small
gave expression to this individual op-
inion:
.If President Roosevelt thinks it is
good politics and likely to aid the re-
publican party, he viii intervene: but
if he thinks his intervention would
initiate against him with the party,
believe he will keep his hand off,
