YOUNG WOMAN ATTEMPTED TO
KILL HERSELF HERE TODAY
SHE HAD BEEN Ill TREATED

Absolutely refusing to divulge her
reasons for wanting to die and leave
her husband and little children, Mrs.
A. F. Barnes, aged about 80 years, an
attractive young matron, this morning
at the home at 954 South Fourth
street, about 9 o'clock. swallowed a
large potion of carbolic acid and is
in serious condition. Only the
timely and immediate arrival of Drs.
Collins and Hubbard prevented the
woman from dying but after working
over her for an hour or more, en-
ploying heroic treatment, the physic
ians announced that they believed the
woman would recover.
Mrs. Barnes was horribly burned
about the mouth. chin and in her
throat and stomach. She suffered in
tense pain. Her stomach was reliev-
ed as quickly as possible of the dead
ly fluid and everything possible done
to save her life. Had her condition
been undiscovered for even a short
period she would have died in great
agony.
The attempted suicide created

great deal of excitement in the neigh
borhood in which the family lives.
A. F. Barnes, the husband, a big
strong looking young man, has been
employed at the sugar factory for
some time. 1t is reported that he was
discharged from the factory yesterday
or that he quit of his own accord.
There are two children, one mere
infant, the other bright little boy
of about four years old. From all re-
ports there have been domestic troIb
les. 1t is rumored that Barnes fas
not been as good to his family as he
should have been but concerning this
no positive statement can be made.
The family has resided in the city for
some time.
Barnes was at home with his fam
lily this morning. About O'Clock
DR.. Collins and Hubbard received a
telephone call from a neighbor of the
Barnes stating that Mrs. Barnes had
tried to kill herself. The physicians
hastened to the home. They found

Under an appropriticn made at
the last session of the congress, a
commission was sent on American
cruisers to Monrovia to investigate
the interests of the United States and
Its citizens in Liberia. Upon its ar
rival at Monrovia the commission
was enthusiastically received, and
during it's stay in Liberia was every
where met with the heartiest express
sions of good will for the American
government and people and the hope
was repeatedly expressed on all sides
that this government might see its
way clear to do something to relieve
the critical position of the republic
arising in a measure from external as
well as internal and financial en-
barrassments.
The Liberian government afforded
every facility to the commission for
ascertaining the true state of affairs.
The commission also had conferences
with representative citizens. inter
ested foreigners and the representa-
tlves of foreign governments in Mon
rovia. a'Visitss were made to various
lpartsAo of the republic and to the
neighbpring British colony of Sierra
Leone, where the commission was re-
| ceived and conferred with the COVER
nor.
1T will be remembered that the
interest of the United States in the
republic of Liberia springs from the
historical fact of the foundation of
the republic by the colonization of
American citizens of the African race.
In an early treaty with Liberia there
is provision under which the United
States may recalled upon for advice
or assistance. Pursuant to this pro-
vision and in the spirit of the moral
relationship of the United States to
Liberia, that republic last year asked
this government to lend assistance in
the solution of certain of their ma
tional problems, and hence the COM
mission was sent.
"The report of our commissioners
has just been completed and is now
under examination by the depart
ment of state. 1t is hoped that there
may result some helpful measures. in
which case II may be my duty again
to invite your attention to this sub
iect.
THE Norwegian government, by
note addressed on January 90, 1909,
to the department of state, conveyed
an invitation to the government of
the United States to take part in
conference, which, 1t is understood,
will be held in February or March,
1910. for the purpose of devising
means to remedy existing conditions
in the Spitzbergen islands.
This invitation was conveyed un-

capital in June, 1910. The United
States Will be appropriately repre-
sented in this conference under the
provision therefor already made by
congress.
THE cordial invitation of Belgium
to be represented by fitting display
of American progress in the useful
arts and inventions at the Worlds
fair to be held at Brussels in 1910
remains to be acted upon by the con-
gress. Mindful of the advantages to
accrue to our artisans and producers
in competition with their continental
rivals, l renew the recommendation
heretofore made that provision be
made for acceptance of the invitation
and adequate representation in the
exposition.
THE question arising out of the
Belgian annexation of the independ-
ent state of the Congo, which has 30
long and earnestly preoccupied the
attention of this government and en-
listed the sympathy of our best citi-
zens. is still open, but in more
hopeful stage. This government was
among the foremost in the great work
of uplifting the uncivilized regions of
Africa and urging the extension of
the benefits of civilization, education
and fruitful open commerce to that
vast domain, and is party to treaty
engagements ofall the interested pow
erS designed to carry out that great
duty to humanity. The way to bet
ter the original and adventitious con-
ditions, SO burdensome to the natives
and so destructive to their develop
ment. has been pointed out, by OBJ
servation and experience, not alone
of American representatives, but by
cumulative evidence from all quar-
ters and by the Investigations of Bel
gian agents. The announced pro-
gram of reforms, striking at many of
the evils known to exist. are an aug
ury of better things. The attitude OF
the United States is one of benevo-
lent encouragement. coupled with
hopeful trust that the good work re-
sponsibly undertaken and zealously
perfected to the accomplishment of
the results so ardently desired, will
soon justify the wisdom that inspires
them and satisfy the demands of hui
name sentiment throughout the
world

Pursuant to the provisions of the
general treaty of arbitration con-

Great Britain April 4. 1908, special

the two countries on January 81,

relating to the fisheries on the North
Atlantic coast to tribunal to be

Washington, Dec. THE first an
nual message of President Taft was
delivered to congress today.
1t was presented to both houses
by Assistant Secretary Latta, and in
both houses it was received shortly
after 12 O'Clock.
In the senate there was full at
tendance of members today. and as
soon as the printed copies had been
furnished them the senators riveted
their attention upon the printed
pages, closely following the reading
of the message by the secretary of
the senate.
Following closely upon the house
committee, which had been appoint
ed to wait upon the president, Secre-
tary Latta entered the house of rep
resentatives at 1914 pm, bearing
the presidents communication.
There was a scramble on the part
of the members to obtain the first
copies of the printed document when
the bundles containing them were
unwrapped for distribution.
The speaker at once ordered the
clerk of the house to begin reading
the message.
The one phrase OF the president S
message which attracted the most at
tention in both branches of congress
was found in connection with the
presidents treatment of the Zelayan
incident, in which he spoke of "The
sad tale of unspeakable barbarities."
The diminution of the public ex-
pepditnres, the custom house frauds
and the tariff act were portions which
also impelled close attention during
the reading OF the message.
