Bloouington. III. Feb 2o.-Is Helen
Dickson the Cassie Chadwick OF
Bloomington?
The Mclean GUN grand jury adj
iourned after an exhaustive tnvest-
CATION OF her actions. and returned
six true bills OF Indictment. charging
embezzleiuent, larceny as batlee and
forgery. The action furnished a sem
sational climax TO the first announces
ment thai the girl had been unable
to produce $500 OF the funds of the
Glaane: society OF the Second Christ
ian church, OF which she Was treas
urer.
The forgery Indictment is a new
feature. The Corn Belt bank made the
peared at the bank With the announce
ment that she wished to deposit a
draft for $1,000. Which she stated she
had just received as the beneficiary
of a life insurance policy on her.
AS She tumblcd in her purse for the
paper she suddenly exclaimed that she
had lost 1t. She returned a few days
later stating that the draft could not
be found, and asked for Il loan of Sl25.
The bank complied.
A few weeks later she reappeared.
.tating that the draft had not been re
ceived, but that she needed another
S125. To cover both leans she rendered
a note for $3.50. which she said had
been given to her by a friend, Minnie
Lemme. It has developed that the sig
natures, according to the bank, are for
geries.
Another sensational development to-
day was the reported discovery that
Miss Dixon's bank book. with which
she kept the %ccoun OF the Cleaner
society, had been subjected to forged
records of deposits.

They We're in a measure system

Were they systematized or not sys-
tematized?" repeated Mr.. Jerome
sharply.
They We're not altogether system
atized.''
In what respects were the decisions
not systemati2ed?"
He shifted from one delusive idea
to another
Can you state one delusion that
was not connected with what might
be termed the parent delusion about
Stanford White and his relations with
womea?"
There was his delusion that repu-
table lawyers and physicians We're in
a conspiracy to railroad him off to an
asylum"
Yes, but that was connected with
the parent delusion," said MIR. jerome.
Il would consider it as largely in
dependent. l could see no reason why
he should connect me With any con-
Spiracy against him."
Nc, but he vas suspicious of me and

Was not that a systematized delu-
sicn?"
1T might be taken that way,
What kind of insanity is indicated

FRANCHISE REFORM
ENGRoSSES SWEDEN
Stockholm. Feb. 20.-The great Strug-
gle for proportional representation in
both chambers of the riksdag has be
gun, the government having introduced
the bill for reform of the political and
communal franchise.
The strongest opposition comes from
what may be called the old house of
lords"
rhe first chamber which counts $50
members and is elected by town and
city councils-bodies Mhich are elected
on an income qualification. so that a
country voter may nave as many as
5000 votes. They therefore represent
only the moneyed classes, and SO the
first chamber has become in Sweden a
kind of house OF peers.
The second chamber of go members,
Is elected on a somewhat more popular
basis. but ven here there exists an in
come qualification. which excludes the
majority of the adult population.
Nevertheless. it has been found pos
sible to send a liberal-radical party
which. in connection with the fifteen
socialists, constitutes a majority over
the conservatives of about twenty
Votes. The proposal of the proportions
ate representation has been used SO Oft
en- by reactionary ministers in the past
that it is distinctly distasteful to the
country, and the fact that the conser-
vative party and press SO eagerly rec
ommend 1t does not placate their OPP
ponentS.

the witness il charge for half an hour
he had secured from the our q ruling
which apparently opens the way for

Thaw all manner of evidence which
may tend TO discredit the defendants
wife. Heretofore it has been held that
the rules of evidence protected young
Mrs. Thaw and thai regardless of
whether her story was true or false the
fact that she had old it to her husband
was the one essential point.
Mrs. Thaw had been allowed to re-
peat the story so that the jury might
Judge as to its effect in -unbalancing
the mine of the man on trial for he
murder of Stanford White. Mr.. Jerome
by a simple question opened the way
for the introduction of testimony tend
ing to show the truth or falsity of Mrs.
Thaw's story. He asked the witness:
Was the story you told Mr.. Thaw
true?"
