| NEARLY CHEATED LAW
YOUNG WOMAN UNDER SEN.
TENCE ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.

NEW YORK, May 19.7Jennie Blunt. the
young woman who yesterday was SEN
fenced to four years in the penitentiary
by Judge Bike In Brooklyn for shooting
Charles NJ. Sanford. lawyer, came very
near cheating the law today. She was
found unconscious in her cell in the Ray
mond street Jail from inhaling illuminat-
ing gas. Her life was saved by the
prompt action OF a physician who was
summoned.
When Jennie Blunt was sentenced yes
terday after as scathing an arraignment
as ever had been given a woman in a
Brooklyn court. she declared that she
would kill herself rather than serve the
long sentence which had been imposed
upon her. Little heed was given to the
threat, but early today. when a matron
passed the cell to which the prisoner had
been assigned. she detected the odor of
gas.
In the cell the prisoner was found living
on her cot unconscious, a tube leading
from an open gas jet clenched between
her teeth. a physician succeeded in re-
viving her.
Jennie Blunt shot Mr.. Sanford last Feb
ruary, declaring he had mistreated her
Sanford hung between life and death for
weeks but finally recovered and when the
woman was put on trial he denied posi-
lively all the charges she had made
against him. She was convicted and in
imposing sentence Judge Dixie denounced
her as the most dangerous type of black
mailer who failing in her attempt to ex.
tort money. would have pursued her vic
tim to his death

ACCEPTS SITUATION
PRESIDENT WILL NOT OPPOSE
SELECTION OF BURROWS.

No fight will be made in the republican
national convention against Senator Bur
rows for temporary chairman by direc-
ton of the President. Although it is
claimed it will be within the power of the
Roosevelt and Taft delegates to defeat
the action of the national committee in
selecting Senator Burrows and to elect
Senator Beveridge or any other man tenn
porary chairman that is step that
would be considered bad politics unless
the exigencies of the occasion required.
Nobody we'll informed as to White House
and general political affairs attempts to
gloss over the fact that the President
considered the selection of Senator Bur-
rows as a slap at him-a hard slap at
that-but the President realizes today
that II Is the best thing to accept the stu
alton and say nothing.
1t is known that President Roosevelt
wrote letter advising the selection of
Senator Beveridge. and thought the In
diana senator ought to be chosen. But
some of the Presidents warmest friends
did not approve that. and are believed
to have quietly connived at the use of a
big knife in the ribs of the young senator
The fact Is that many Of the older sem
ators do not like Senator Beveridge.
Their feeling. it is said. was directed
more against him than against the Presi-
dent. They felt that Senator Beveridge
was likely to say too many radical things
II he was made temporary chairman
So they whispered few words to Sena-
tor Scott of West Virginia of the sub
committee, on which was imposed the
duty of picking temporary chairman
That was sufficient Reports today are
that Senator Lodge, as close friend
as the President has. is well satisfied
that Senator Beveridge was left by the
wayside. and will privately advise the
President that Senator Burrows is all
right.

MANY ASK FOR ACTION
CONFERENCE MAY BE HELD ON
ANTI-INJUNCTIoN BILLS.

1t Is likely that republican conference
will be held one night this week to de-
termine the attitude Of the majority In
the House toward the passage at this
session Of law to restrict the courts In
the issuing of injunctions. as demanded
by labor leaders. A number of anti-in-
junction bills. so-called. have been re-
ferred to the judiciary committee. but no
action on them has been taken. This ef-
fort is the result of an interview yester-
day between Speaker Cannon and Repre-
sentatives Pollard of Nebraska, Town
send Of Michigan and Hayes OF Cali
fornia
When these three gentlemen called to
hitting to the judiciary committee a Pc
tition which had been signed by sixty
two republican members for an immedi-
ate report on one such bill, he advised
against this course. but suggested that
the proper proceeding would be the cir
culation of a petition for a conference.
The Speaker" said Mr.. Townsend to-
day, did not approve the idea He
thought we had not selected the best way
OF approaching the subject. He suggest
ed that the usual and official way was to
obtain the necessary signatures for the
calling Of a party conference to determine
the desire Of the majority
Resultant of this suggestion Mr. Pol
lard began the circulation as soon as the
House convened today of a conference
call. to which fifty signatures are re-
quired

losis congress, to be held here in Septem-
Der and October.

JUDGE lands UPHELD.
Decision in Case of Imported Iron
Molders.

1t is announced at the Department OF
Commerce and Labor that an important
decision has just been handed down by
the United States circuit court OF appeals
at Chicago confirming the decision of
Judge Lands Of the district court in jan
uary, 1907. which held the Allis-Chalmers
Company, a large steel manufacturing
company. responsible for the importation
Of four iron nlolders from England by
way OF Montreal. and assessed a fine OF
81 600 on account of each man.
It appears that the men. while regularly
employed in England. we're solicited by
agents OF the Allis-Chalmers Company to
go to Montreal to work in the company's
branch there; but on their arrival they
were told that while their services could
not be utilized in Montreal they could be
located in one Of the companys factories
in the United States at S. a day. After
they had been examined by a board OF
special inquiry. composed of three United
ST. immigration inspectors. and re-
jected as contract laborers. one of the
employees of the Montreal works furnished
them with tickets to Buffalo and told
them how to escape inspection at Niagara
Falls
They eventually reached Chicago. but
were detected and held by the federal au-
thorities, when they furnished full par
ticulars of their importation. thus en-
abling the government TO present a case To
the court, which was successful.
