DR.. REARDsLEY; CORSET DOES.

(
Chicago, June II. - DR.. Jennie A..

She was stabbed twice in the breast
and stomach as she answered a knock
at the back door of her home in Pes

were hiding in the house to guard the
woman against just such an attack.
The would-be assassin struck his
blows and escaped in the darkness be-
fore the detectives could escape from
their concealment. A steel ribbed corr
set saved the woman's life.
DR.. Beardsley, who Is a practicing
physician of ofmiddle age, received a
letter several days ago threatening
her life if she did not place $500 in a
designated spot. The letter she turn
ed over to the police was signed with
| a rude imitation of a black hand and
skull and crossbones. The letter
threatened the woman with death in
her own home Is she did not "get
busy" with the money.
DR.. Beardsley expressed the opinion
| that the weapon used was a razor. Her
assailant attempted to draw it across
her throat, but instead drew it across
brooch which she wore. She was not
in the least injured.

Chicago, June 11.-Latin and al
zebra, those studies which have been
stumbling blocks to many youthful
minds, are to be eliminated from the
curriculum of the Chicago elementary
schools, according to unanimous
vote taken yesterday by the school
management committee of the board OF
education.
In the future, after the official board
acts on the matter, "readin'. writin
and 'rithmetic" will be the principaI
studies which youngsters in the lower
grades will be required to absorb. The
action was taken on motions offered
by DR.. R. A. White and Mrs. Isabelle
O'Keefe, and the other members of the
committee Immediately concurred.
DR.. White started the unexpected ac
tion by moving that Latin be excluded
from the lower grades. Before his
motion could be voted or Mrs. O'Keefe
moved an amendment which included
algebra.
Fine said DR.. White, smiling. al
my widest imagination / never dream
