Mr.. Clarkson persuasions and fled

day they sailed for London on sepa-

self to notify her parents of what she
had done, but from New York she had
written an appealing letter to Mrs.
Ritchie telling her the whole story
and giving a brief outline Of her
plans. Mrs. Ritchie forwarded the
letter to her mother and then took the
first steamer for London. There she
found her young sister miserable and
alone, and the two sisters made their
way to Paris to await news from their
parents.
Grew Suddenly Old.
Martin Maloney began to grow old
the day his daughters letter was put
in his hands. He began to see the
end of all his earthly hopes. He was
strong in the pride Of his humble but
honest and honorloving mother. He
could have stood the loss of all his
wealth and all his power, and with
his genius for money-making could
have started all over again with the
vigor and enthusiasm of his youth.
but when the whole truth came upon
him he lost his grip on things.
lie sought the church in the hope
that its leaders might solve the pro-
blem. He hurried to France to bring
back the girl whose future had meant
almost everything in the world to
him. For long time his heart was
full OF bitterness toward Osborne, to-
ward all his friends, and especially to-
ward Sanmel Clarkson. He sought
out the dignitaries of his church and
to a few of these he told the whole
story. His one desire was to have
the marriage of Mr.. Osborne annull-
ed, and he vowed to do violence to
Mr.. Clarkson if ever the young Eng
llshman crossed his way. Mr.. Ma
loney considered as his enemies every
one who ever suggested a reconcilia-
tlon. lie wished to wipe out of his
life and the life of his child every
one who had been connected with her
cntanglcment.
Many reports have been circulated
lis to Helen Maloney's plans and her
whereabouts. and most of these ru-
morS have held that she and Clarkson
awaited only the annulment of her
marriage with Mr.. Osborne in order to
be legally married. 1t has been said
that Miss Maloney and Mr.. Clarkson
htd already gone away together. None
or these reports have been either de-
med or affirmed by Mr.. Maloney.

A. D. j. v. LOSES
MONTANA

On application Of the grand
lodge of the Ancient Order OF
United Workmen in Montana, r.
H. Howey has been appointed re.
ceiver for the order to wind up its
affairs and distribute remaining
funds among the membership. Mar.
tin Dee, grand master workman,
has issued statement in which
he says suspensions in member
ship and an abnormal death rate
has made it impossible to longer
maintain the organization in the
state. He attributes loss of mem
bership largely to the action of the
supreme lodge in forcing increased
rates in spite Of unfavOrable con.
ditions and the competition by
other orders that have sprung up
since the A. o. U. w. was formed
and are able to maintain an in
creasing membership.
He also says the lodge has suf-
fered in Montana from members
who worked in the interest of old
line life insurance. Until two
years ago all losses were paid
promptly, but the membership has
npw dwindled to $50 and the UNI
paid death losses aggregate $780,.

last night was hammer and tongs

those who did not had made regu-
lar application. Then they went

The hottest number while it last.
ed was the bout between Walker
and RACER. The former got stom-
ach jolt in the second round that
queered him completely. He was
evidently in no condition for such
pace. Ritter gave a great exhibit
ton of cleverness In getting out of
the way of the bulky ST. German.
He outclassed the heavier man in
all the fine points of the game.
Samuels made a game attempt to
hold Williamson in a rough and
tumble affair, but lost the decision
on a series Of knockdowns that left
him in bad shape.
Jessmore got the edge on Grant
after catching wallop in the first
round that kept him guessing.
Kann got two straight falls on
Blume. Moe and Creel went to a
draw after a cautious session with
some lively features. Taken all
round, the card was a compliment
to Mike Butler and the club.

HEAD BROKEN IN
LOVE BATTLE "a

Roomers at the Ross block early
this morning were thrown into a
turmoil over the love affairs of
George Davis and George Bradley,
both of whom have been counting
Jessie McFord. Although the po-
lice, who hurried to the scene of
battle, were unable to CLEAN what
they consider a true story from
either Davis or Bradley, they be-
lieve the cause of the battle was
the fair lady. Anyway, when Da-
Wis was picked up he was corey
sight. Blood was streaming from
a deep cash on the back of his
scalp, where Bradley had hit him
either with a stove poker. chair, or
something equally convincing. He
was hurried to the emergency hos
pital, where DR.. Woodruff sewed
up the cut.
Bradley was put into Jail on a
charge Of assault, and Jessie Nc
Ford, who is also known as Mrs.
Dempsey, was incarcerated on .
charge of yagrancy.

RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT IN
ORDER TO BREAK BOSS RULE

there must appear at the head Of
every list of candidates for dele
gates to the state convention the
name of the candidate favored by
the delegates for president.
The party dictators who framed
that rule figured that by declaring
for Taft in Taft counties and Fora
ker in Foraker counties, they could
easily keep in the saddle. They lit
tie dreamed that the very rule
could be made an effective weapon
in anti-boss fighting.
| In Toledo the boss is Walter
Brown, public service corporation
man and chairman of the state cen
trail committee. Hhe has been loud
as Taft shouter and quiet as a
setter-up of delegations and COM
mittees.
The independent republicans, to
force the anti-boss issue, have for
mally declared Capt John Craig to
be candidate for president of the
United States, SO that an anti
Brown delegation may be put up in
the primaries. Craig is a wealthy
ship builder, responsible business
man, staunch republican, and out
spoken opponent of boss methods.
Primarily the effort Is to defeat
the reelection of Brown to the
state central committee The dele
gates will all be for Taft if the
ticket wins at the primaries.
The same tactics are to be en-
ployed in Cleveland, where the
ring is in bad odor. Dayton,
Youngstown, Canton and several
other of the smaller cities are con-
sidering the plan. Probably it will
not be attempted here or in Gin
cinnati.

COLUMBUS, Jan. 31.-Once in
four years the big and little bosses
of Ohio get new strangle hold on
the rank and file of the party. Ohio
isn't unique in this. but this year
there is widespread and deter
mined effort on the part of the re-
publicans at least, to break the
hold.
Once in four years the bosses
take up O. favorite son or a nation
ally popular presidential candidate
and proceed to organize the state
in his favor. AS the state, so far
as public opinion Is concerned, IL
ralready in favor of the candidate,
this is entirely unnecessary, but in
cidentally it gives the big and little
bosses a chance to select state,
county and national delegates and
SO capture the party machinery,
down to the representation of the
smallest school district.
To refuse to vote for their slate
Is to be "disloyal to the president"
Ohio politics is always full of queer
quirks and this year when the boss
es and the trolley lawyers lined up
behind Taft in order to renew their
fast-slipping hold on the machine,
lney met with shock.
Without hostility to Taft, but de-
termined to escape the rule Of some
of the men who wear Taft livery,
the republicans in half dozen
Ohio cities are searching for men
big and nervy enough to become
candidates for president of the
United States.
