WIFE SHOT, KILLS SELF.
Grand Rapids Man After Reading Ac-
counts of Two Tragedies
Acts on Suuuestion.

Did psychological influence OF ex-
ample today prompt Jacob Sikkema to
shoot his wife and then kill himself?
That is the question to which stu
dents OF metaphysics answer. Yes, y
while the reply of the coroner is,
Probably"
No other motive than that adj
vanced by psychologists has been sug-
gested as the prime cause OF the
tragedy. 1t is known that Sikkema
devoured the newspaper accounts OF
the shooting Of Nellie Tiemeyer by her
lover, August Sauererein. Sikkema
also read with avidity the published
story OF the second tragedy. He was
not Respondent over business or fam
lily affairs. He had not quarreled with
the woman he shot
In the absence OF all other motives,
II is thought that Sikkema, his mind
made morbid by whisky, acted on the
suggestion contained in the printed
accounts of the first two tragedies.
1t was about 2 o'clock in the after
noon that Sikkema shot his wife
through the throat and then put bull.
let through his OWL head. The wo-
man, while still alive in Butterworth
hospital, is believed to be dying.
Sikkema was string butcher. He
drank heavily, going on debauches
which would last until outraged nature
succumbed completely.

VIII Ask 100000 to Sign Petition.

Equal suffragists of Michigan will
drop all their regular and routine
work and for the next year or a long
er time, if required, devote all energy
to securing petition of 100000 names
of Michigan men and women to be
presented to congress. The petition
will be part of a roll of 100000
names of people who will ask con-
gress to grant women equal political
rights with men. The state conven-
ton of women suffragists meeting in
Bay City decided that Michigan could
produce 100000 persons who will go
on record as favoring the elective
franchise for women. The action was
taken in response to appeals from the
international association, which has
asked every state in the union where
women suffrage Is not in force to Sc
cure the congressional petition. Mich
igan suffragists will abandon this year
even their activity before the legisla-
ture to give their time to the petition.

tary of the Ladies Auxiliary to the

stituted proceedings in the circuit
court at Port Huron against Gertrude
F. Hill, asking that the court grant
an order reinstating mortgages for ST.

the defendant upon which she was in
duced to discharge the mortgages
were false.
When Mrs. Downing was removed
from the office OF secretary and treas
urer OF the order with which she had
been connected for 20 years, she made
statement that a suit would soon
be started which would show why she
had been short in her funds She
claimed that she had loaned money to
a friend. Friends of Mrs Downing
have long maintained that her remov-
al from Office several weeks ago was
due to her own bigness of heart.

Hard Blow for Yost's Men-Rival Col
ieges Had Their Bands to Inspire

mirers.

For the third time in as many sea-
sons these east and west rivals met
at Ann Arbor Saturday and for the
third time Penn triumphed. Never
before has her victory been so com
plete, never before has the winning
team had so great a margin over the
loser.
This time the score was 90 to 0
in PENIS favor. nearly twice as many
points being scored by the Red and
Blue as in 1906, at Philadelphia, when
the first game of this present series
was played. 1t was not only the most
crushing defeat that Penn has admin
istered to Michigan, but that the
Maize and Blue has sustained since
Yost took charge of its football for
tunes. Not in all his experience here
has he seen any eleven pile up five
touchdowns on his proteges.
Not only did Michigan never threat
en- to defeat her rival, but she was
close TO scoring only once in the en-
tire 20 minutes. There were only two
points on the path at which scoring
on her part was imminent. In the
first period she had one opportunity
TO try a goal from placement. the field
having failed twice to pierce the Penn
line. with the ball inside the enemy's
10-yard strip. On the third down,
however, she elected to try a forward
pass, and lost the ball.
Irreparable injury was done to
Michigan's chances by the disabling
of Capt Schulz. About the middle OF
the first half he suffered an injury

pushed into his abdomen when he

A Riddle.

An English paper recently asked its
readers for an answer to the follow

What does a man love more than life,
Hate more than death or mortal
strife;
That which contented men desire,
The poor have, and the rich require;
A miser spends, the spendthrift saves,
And all men carry to their graves?
All sorts of answers were sent in,
but the correct one was declared to
be Nothing"

The War on tuberculosis.

The economic as well as the hu.
manitarian side of the question was
well considered at the international
tuberculosis congress In Washington.
The impressive statements showing
that at the rate prevailing millions OF
persons are destined to die of the dis
ease were supplemented by figures
bearing upon this aspect of the case.
Among those who spoke was Homer
Folks OF New York state, whose long
Identification with public charities and
other philanthropic work makes him
qualified witness. In the course of
an address on effective control of tu-
berculosis Mr.. Folks said: The cost
of tuberculosis to the people of the
state of New York is variously esti-
mated at from $15,OOO,OOO to s75,OO0,-
600 year. The prevention of tuber.
culosis, as an economic and educa-
tional problem, is an entirely feasible
and workable program. In fact, ii is
much less difficult and much less ex-
pensive than many other movements
which have been successfully carried
out" The economic loss mentioned is
in the shape OF producing capacity
sacrificed through the ravages of the
ailment. Laying aside all other con-
siderations, says the Troy IN. W
Times, here is great waste that can be
prevented, and the recent impetus
given TO the work of checking tubeTcu-
losis means mot only the saving OF
many lives, with consequent happiness
in corresponding number of homes,
but decided increase in the material
wealth Of the community.
