CLEVELAND SUICIDE
CLUB LOSES MEMBER.
Young Girl Who Killed Herself Believed
to Have Planned Death with
Eleven Others.

CLEVELAND, O., July ga club
composed of disheartened factory en-
ployes, advocating suicide as the only
means within their reach of attaining
the peace of mind they crave and to es-
cape the torments of their daily grind,
is believed to exist here. This fact was
advanced today by the parents of Miss
Rehecca Bosechek, IS years old, who
was found dead in Gordon park Sunday
After considering all of the known cir
cumstances surrounding her death, this
is the only theory evolved.
Relatives believe that another girl, a
companion of Miss Bosechek, will COM
NIT suicide within the next few DAYS.
The mother of the second girl admits
having overheard her daughter and Miss
BOsechek planning to kill themselves.
According to those who know of the
habits of Miss Bosechek, the club con-
sisted of six girls, four young women
and man and his wife. Most of them
are employed in cloak factories.
Sunday after the death of Miss Bose
chek became known, several young men
and women called at the Bosechek home
to obtain books and newspaper clippings
which the girl had in her room and
which she would not let her parents see.
The girl is known to have met these
young people in meetings held at various
places. The group is known to have
read morbid literature and discussed
death as the only relief for their woes
Miss Bosechek shot herself. Her body
was found in a clump of bushes. 1t is
believed that the club chose her by lot
as the first to commit suicide

VIRGINIA G. @. P.
PUTS UP FIGHT
REPUBLICANS ARE ENCOURAGED
BY TAFTS DESIRE FOR ACTIVE
OPPOSITION.
TO BUILD AN ORGANIZATION
Leaders Will Name Strong State Ticket
and Will Go After More Con-
gressional Seats.
LIQUOR QUESTION LIVE ISSUE

NEWPORT NEWS, Va, July GO
Encouraged by President Taft's desire
for an active opposition in the south,
Virginia Republican leaders are deter
mined to begin, at the state convention
which will be held here July % and %,
the work of building up an organization
in the hope of a Republican victory in
Virginia at the next national election.
Aside from being the first Republican
state convention under the Taft admin
istration, this gathering will lay claim to
national attention through the presence
Of one of the Taft cabinet officers, Sec
rotary Nagel of the department or COM
merce and labor, who will address the
delegates Wednesday night.
Have Strong Ticket.
With the strongest state ticket that
can be mustered and with a platform en-
dorsing the party declaration of the last
national convention, the TAFT adminiStra-
ton and the Aldrich-Payne tariff bill,
and containing plankS on all live state
issues, the Republicans will prepare for
an active fight during the campaign.
Next year, when the congressional cleo
tons will be held, candidates will be
put up in each of the ten districts, and
strong efforts will be made to increase
the party representation in Congress,
now conferred entirely in Representative
G. Bascom Slemp, who is the recognized
Republican state leader.
Mr.. Slemp says that the Republicans
of the state hold strong hopes of carry
ing Virginia for the national ticket in
1912. AS the situation stands, A. +.
Gillespie of TazeweIl, lawyer and cattle
raiser, will be nominated for governor by
reclamation. Candidates for all the state
offices will be put in the field.
Liquor Question Up.
The liquor question probably is the
liveliest State issue in Virginia at this
time. The Anti-Saloon league has been
making a strong fight for statewide pro-
hibition. Both of the two candidates
contesting for the Democratic nomina-
ton for governor are favoring local OPP
ton. with the understanding, however,
that they would sign a prohibition bill
if such measure is adopted by the Leg
islature. Mr.. Slemp says that the Re-
publican convention will probably ad-
vocate local option and the adoption
of the county unit system in local option
counties.
The state Republican platform will
also contain planks advocating the cleo
ton of state corporation commissioners
by the people and the creation of two
boards to reorganize the present system
of taxation in the state, according to
Mr. SlemD

weak to hold up the heavy trains. Three
