WOMAN WRITER SUICIDE.
Mrs. Elton Drinks carbOlic Acid in Dor.
chester.

Boston, March s.--Mrs. Bertha Wildes
Elton, ~ years old, a prominent club
woman Of Dorchester, short story writer
and well known student OF sociology
committed suicide by drinking carboliC
acid at her home, Marlowe street, on
Saturday morning.
The news of her death was kept from
the police until late hour Saturday
night, when the facts became known.
Mrs Elton was very well known in
literary circles, being the author OF
many short stories that had appeared in
magazines. Besides maintaining mem
hership in many organizations OF women
she had eizen lectures on hygiene and
had frequently appeared and spoke be-.
fore committees Of the legislature on
various matters in which she was inter.
ested
She gave both time and attention to
her home affairs, as wen as to other
things, and 1t is believed that her mind
broke down under the strain OF too many
selfimposed activities.

Cheer Approaching End Of
Long Murder Trial
COOPER CASE IS ARGUED
Three Attorneys to Speak for Each Side
May Go to the Jury by Next

for End.

Nashville, Tenn, March s.--Because
the trial of Colonel d. B. Cooper, Robin
]. Cooper and John d. Sharp, for the
murder of former Senator Cormack, is
nearing its end, the jurors gave vent TO
lusty cheer on reaching their room
Saturday.
The arguments will begin today and
are not restricted as to time. but by
agreement of counsel only three law.
yers will speak for each side.
1t is not considered probable that any
one Of the attorneys will speak longer
than one day, so that the>case should
be in the jury's hands by the end of
this week.
Captain FtzHugh Of Memphis opened
the argument for the state. He will be
followed by General William Washing.
ton for the defence. General j. b. Gar.
ner will speak next for the prosecution
Then will come General Meeks and
Judge Anderson OF the defence, while
Attorney General McCarn will make the
closing argument.
There have been IA days OF actual
testimony, but nearly five weeks were
spent selecting the jury, so that the
trial is now nearing les seventh week.
Ir the session Saturday little evidence
was heard. Both sides introduced few
witnesses in rebuttal on the smaller
points in the case and then went into
conference.
The state was willing to limit the
time Of argument TO eight hours a
side, but the defence declined TO agree
TO any limit upon the speeches
Judge Hart tried for stipulation on
this question, but was satisfied when
both sides agreed to limit the speeches
TO three each.
The jurors, rendered impatient by the
summer-lke weather, the arrival of
planting time and fretting under the
lnwonted restrictions of guards and
close confinement. welcomed the end
with every evidence of satisfaction.

Of men, whose pride In his physical con-

attack on corrupt judge doesn't con-
stltute an attack on the judiciary or
our judicial system. And what answer
Is there TO thati II you know the in
iluences that have brought about the
appointment Of certain Judges and then

II, For example there is Judge in one
of the Eastern districts--a very dis
tinguished judge-whose appointment
was procured by the owners Of public
service corporations. IL isn't strange 10
find him frequently standing between
legislatures or Congress and these cor
porations, but is would be fine state
OF things if everybody was denied the
right to remark these facts. In a word.
IT isn't necessary to stop criticism Of
the judges; but IL is necessary, and
highly necessary that the judges should
give less ground for criticism. The occa
sional harangling at the judiciary from
Washington has been good thing. II
hasn't lowered popular respect for the
judiciary. And | haven't noticed that
newspapers and lawyers who were much
troubled by the presidents hcart-to-
heart talks about the courts, thought Of
being tender in their treatment Of Judge
lands when he imposed bis preporter-
Gus fine on the Standard Oil company.

there Is such a thing AZ public opinion

Seven Years of Roosevelt.

TN seven years we shall know better
whether Theodore Roosevelt has done
things for us or has done things to u.s.
writes Lindsay Denison in the March
Circle Magazine. "qt is possible he has
done bothl But at any rate the fnar
ledger balances viii be in positive form.
I'VE shall have, for instance, the Pam
anna canal
1T may read that we ought to have
sea-level canal instead Of a lock canal;
it may read that the canal has cost half
billion dollars when it ought to have
cost only third as much.
The point is that there viii be .
canal.
In the relations Of the government
and great corporations we shall some
thing which may read; President Roose-
welt perverted the spirit of the constitu-
ton to meet his own prejudicesi it may
read that he fed the elamor of the people
for blood or money sacrifice by forcing
the operation Of law which he himself
has admitted to be sometimes inequitable
the Shermon law; it may read that
many industrious and honest men In
banks, stores, factories, and bitches, suf-
fered want and saw their wives and chill
dren hunger and die when possibly (but
not probably the ideals Of national life
for which he was striving might have
been brought about automatically an0
gently with the passing of the years of
himself and his successors-just as Pres
ident Mckinley intended to eliminate the
spoilsmen in the government departments
quietly and without disturbing the nation
by self doubts.
The point is that it has been proven
that there is not corporation in the
United States which has any certainty
that it can violate the law of the United
States with impunity; that there is al
ways hanging over such corporation
the threat that a president may be elect
ed who win 80 execute the real will OF
the nation that nothing can stand be-
tween them and calling to account.

sonal attitude toward his Office latter
all the joke-smiths have finished talking
about his homilies on everything from
the married relation to the life of the
farmer and from high finance to birds
eggsl 1t may be written that he has over
borne his wisest advisers and has leaned
too much ON the reflex commendation
Of his every thought which must come
to strong man from a clique of SELF
selected personal admirers.
"The point is that we have had
and human president and not
a mechanic who has watched and oiled
Il machine for the mere honor Of holding
the Office"
