She will work hours on every other kind

TAKES CENSUS OUT POLITICS
Taft's Sweeping order-Merit Alone
Must Rule, He Says.

Beverly, Mass.-President Taft has
taken the thirteenth census out of poll
tics. In striking letter addressed to
Secretary Nagel, the president ordered
that the political activities of all census
supervisors shall be limited to casting a
vote. Any further participation in poll
tics, the president declares, shall be re-
garded as sufficient cause for immediate
dismissal
The rule had already been laid down
by the president, as told in these dis
patches, that merit alone would be con-
sidered in the selection of the supervis-
ors. In political circles this was re-
garded in a more or less Pickwickian
sense But now comes the formal order
from the president, indicating very
clearly that the thirteenth census will be
an unlucky one for the politicians.
The actual work of collecting the GEN.
sus will begin ON April Is next, and will
consume about thirty days. About three
months preliminary work devolves upon
the supervisors, however, and there viii
be about six months of work for them
after the enumeration has been COM
pleted

PLAYS GOLF TALKS PIE.
President Breaks His Hoodoo-Talks
Census Enumerators.

Beverly, Mass.-On this Friday. the
18th day of the month, President Taft's
golf ''hoodoo" disappeared. There was
a helpful change in the weather, too,
and under damp and darksome skies, Mr..
Taft and John Hays Hammond got their
revenge against Gen. Adelbert Ames and
w. j. Boardman of Washington, by win
ming today's presidential foursome on
the links of the Essex Country Club,
by one up. 1t was the first time the
president had won game this week.
Beverly took on much of the aspect
of real summer capital this afternoon
with the arrival in town of two cabinet
officers, high official of the govern
ment and several politicians of promi-
nence-Secretary of Commerce and La
Dor Naget, Postmaster-General Hitch
cock and E. Dana Durand, director of
the census-came to town to look over
the list of $50 census supervisors with
the president.

KILLS SELF AND FOUR BABIES
Mother Solves Problem-Ill and Must
Die, Take Them With Her.


Chicago.-"When the mother is sick
and must die, why does the good God
make her leave her babies, her own lit
tie ones, in the hands of strangers? Why
must they be helpless and suffering
without their mamma? / can stand it
no longer, Joseph. / am sick and must
die, and my children should go with me-"
Mrs. Maria Handsell wept her COM
plant against problem she could not
understand to her husband in their little
home at 2S40 South Sawyer street, and
early this morning she solved it in her
own way. She asphyxiated herself and
three younger children-Jimmy and Lot
tie, twins, two years of age, and Joe,
four years of age.
The pitiful story of the sick mothers
struggle with her more tender self, and
the final desperate courage with which
she made the sacrifice, was revealed in
sobbing, tear-halted chapters by the
father and four remaining children. The
children are Martha 16, Olga IL, Johnny
10, and Charley years of age. They
crouched frightened in the dark, candle
rayed room where the mother and sister
and brothers lay side by side on the
white bier.

TEN MILLIONS FOR IRRl CATION
National Congress Passes Upon I'M

Spokane, Wash.-An annual appropri-

years to aid in irrigation work is asked
for by congress in resolutions adopted
by the National Irrigation Congress.
This is perhaps the most important rec
ommendation in the resolutions adopted.
Among the other resolutions made
were the following:
That homesteaders, under a govern
ment project, shall not be required to
establish residence before the govern
ment is prepared to furnish them with
water.
That the government take measures to
drain swamp lands in aid of land re-
clamation and of public health.
That the irrigation congress aid with
other conservation organizations to bring
about waterway improvement, refores-
tation and other like projects, the re-
clamation act to be extended to Hawaii
That the states pass laws regulating
the cutting of public and private timber.
That the Mississippi deep waterway be
developed.

PUNISHMENT FOR OFFICERS
Board of Investigation at Manila
Makes Report.

Manila.-The high ranking constabu-
larry board which sat from July 26 to
Aug. 6, investigating the Davao mutiny,
which occurred June 6, submitted re-
port, recommending severe punishment
for four of the officers who had charge
of the mutinous company.
The board examined numerous wit
nesse, including several of the captured
mutineers, and its report is approval by
Brig. Gen. Harry Bandoholtz, chief of the
Philippine constabulary.
The investigators demand the resigna-
lions of Capt. Platka and Lieut.. Duns-
worth, on the ground that they are lack
ing in the proper qualifications for of
ficers, and recommend the dismissal of
Lieut.. Debelano for unjustly Furnishing
privates before the mutiny and for aban-
doning his post.
