bella E. Case,

President Roosevelt was elected to repre-
sent not only the men of the United
States, but also the women of this great
country" Miss Isabella E. Case declared
yesterday before a jury summoned to de-
termine her mental condition, when pressed

son why he should not welcome woman"
Asked as to her efforts to see Mr.. Roose-
welt at oyster Bay, she declined to give any
explanation, but charged that at Oyster
Bay some persons whom she did not name
thinking her wealthy, had asked her 500
for the privilege of an interview with the
nations executive. At Washington she de-
clared, the price was reduced to so. To her
refusal to furnish the alleged graft she
attributed the fact that she was not al
lowed to the President
After few minutes deliberat ton the jury
decided that she is insane and recommended
that she be treated at the Government
Hospital for the Insane. Miss Case was
taken from the city hall to the asylum
AS she was about to be placed in the van
Miss Case assaulted the asylum nurse who
had attended her to court, and would proba-
bly, have escaped but for the timely arrival
of Detective Sergt. O'Brien, who went to
the nurses assistance and soon overpowered
Miss Case. Detective O'Brien then conduct
ed the woman to the sixth precinct sta
ton, whence she was conveyed to the asy-
lum in custody of Precinct Detective Arm

The Rule Of the Road.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
Pedestrians are supposed to have the
right of way at the crossings There are
now no well-defined crossings. such as we
used to have, raised. above the surface of
the roadway. The rapidity with which
noiseless vehicles turn the corners and the
blocking of the intersections by the street
cars renders crossing there dangerous. The
safest place to cross the street Is in the
middle of the block. The making of two
streets of Pennsylvania avenue may be
convenient for vehicles, but is the reverse
