Girl Who Had Only Been Married Six
Weel<S is q Suicide.

shocking suicide occurred at the
Roubaix camp, near Deadwood, when
Mrs. Frank McWilliams, a bride Of
only six weeks, took her own life, be-
lieving that her husband had lost con-
fidence in her. She was only 10 years
of age and had been previously mar
ried at 10 and then divorced. A few
days ago she received a letter from
her former husband saying that the
divorce was illegal and threatening to
make trouble for her. When he saw
the letter McWilliams became infu-
rated, reproached her with having
been false to him and threatened to
leave her In despair the girl, as soon
as she was alone, turned a gun upon
herself and died almost instantly.

White House.

White House.
That f. II. Hartman. the railroad
magnate, Is. immune from criminal
prosecution as the result Of his testi-
mony before the interstate commerce
commission In New York recently;
that the question OF prosecution of BIZ
luminous coal carrying railroads
should be left in the hands OF the at
torney general, and that prosecution
Of the anthracite coal roads will be-
gin in Philadelphia probably next
week, were conclusions reached at a
notable conference held at the White
House Friday night.
The Hartman case and the cases
OF the coal carrying roads were dis
cussed for three hours by President
Roosevelt, the five members of the
cabinet. two members of the interstate
commerce commission and special
counsel for the government.
Following the general conference
Attorney General Bonaparte remained
with the president to discuss the So
called harvester trust. 1t is thought
not unlikely that the question of the
prosecution Of that organization will
be left In the attorney generals hands.
