MONEY OFFERED
FOR her DEFENSE
WOMAN WHO HAD PART IN KID
MAPPING CONFIDENT FRIENDS
WILL SAVE HER.

Mercer, Pa, May g. While James
Boyle faces trial, charged with the
kidnapping of Willie Whitla, his wife,
Mrs. Helen Boyle, or Miss Anna Nc
Dermott, sits passively in jail await
ing developments. The immense sum
of money which has been offered her
to assist in defending herself has
cheered her and she continues on the
whole to have that same defiant, care
less manner which has characte
her throughout the entire ordeal She
may never be tried in Pennsylyania,
and, if she is tried, a conviction Will
be hard to obtain.
This woman Of mystery has led
strange life. From a student IN the
convent to the prison cell, through
series of downward steps, typifies the
transformation in her life from the
sweet anna McDermott of Chicago to
the Helen Boyle in Jail today. She is
still attractive and yivacious in spite
of the experiences of the past. During
the last two or three years she has
had many names. She is the daughter
of William McDermott, now dead,
of Chicago She has been known un-
der the allaS OF MIS-. FRANK i VI NC
Mrs A Minor, Helen McDonough, Mrs.
r. G. Waters and Mrs. Jones. She has
resided in many cities and is wanted
in some of these for crimes commit
ted. A photograph of her was taken to
adorn the rogues' gallery of Kansas
City. She was charged with forgery,
and like charge was brought against
her in Springfield, Ill. In both places
she escaped prosecution. She is now
but % years old and came of a self
respecting family. her father having
been during his life a member of the
Chicago fire department.

BAGS
A AFRICAN LIONS
IHE HAD TO WORK ON SUNDAY TO
GET FOURTH ONE; kER-
NIT TAKES ONE. TOO.

Nairobi, May 3.-Roosevelt
bagged one more lion yesterday at
Wani. This gives him a total of
three lions and one Iioness on the
present expedition. Kermit Roose-
Welt succeeded in bringing down
cheetah.
: Nairobi, British Africa, May a.
-FOUR lions are the trophies In ex-
presidents Roosevelt's camp in the
nils and the two hundred or more
native followers are joining with the
american party in the celebration of
the unusually good luck.
The lions were bagged Saturday
and Roosevelt's mighty gun brought
three Of them to earth, each on the
first shot. Thus one Of the ex-presi-
dents fondest ambitions has been
realized, and he is proud, too. that
the fourth of the Jungle kings fell be-
fore the rife of his son Kermit, who
however, took three shots to kill his
quarry.
Both the father and son are iubil-
ant. 1t was their first lion hunt and
SO magnificent kill was far beyond
their expectations. The party was al
tended by the usual retinue of beat
ers. AS rule the beaters go into the
Jungles with considerable trepidation.
but as Roosevelts reputation as a
hunter had reached here long before
he arrived in person, the beaters on
this occasion were exceptionally en-
thusiastic. The caravan started early
Thursday morning The night In
w wit
no attempt being made to go after
lions, although their call was heard
now and then during the course OF
OF the night, but at dawn the camp
was astir and the drive speedily or.
ganized.
Be.aters Arouse Game.
Inc beaters set out in all direc-
tions, armed with all sorts of noise
making devices, which could not but
arouse any game within earshot. BY
nightfall no less than ten kinds If
game had been bagged. Kermit, dur
ing the greater part of the day. did
the more effective work with the
camera than he did with the gun.
The details of the actual shooting
were not brought down to Nairobj
yesterday from the camp, but 1t was
declared that In each case a single
bullet from the ex-president's rifle
sufficed to bring down his lion. From
this it is regarded that Roosevelt is
living up to the reputation which he
has gained here of being a crack shot
All the lions were of normal size
and after the natives had dragged
them together in the grass they exc
cuted the usual dance around the
trophies.

ASkSCONGRE:SS
TO PROBE ACTS
OF U. s. JUDGES
REPRESENTATIVE MURPHY PRE-
FERs CHARGES AGAINST PHIL
LIPS AND MCPHERSON IN RE-
CENT RAILWAY LITIGATION.

Washington, D. c., May MakinN
serious charges against Federal
Judges John f. Phillips and Smith
Mcpherson of the western district of
Missouri, Representative Murphy of
that state introduced a resolution to-
day to investigate their conduct In
the litigation between the state and
the railroad companies over the max
imum freight law and the Missouri
two cent passenger rate law.
The, Charges In Brief.
The preamble claims that the two
judges accompanied certain railroad
attorneys on fishing trip on which
occasion the members of the party
were arrested for violating the game
laws of the state. The resolution
charges that Judge Philips neglects
his duty by continued absence from
the bench and that when he does pre-
side his court is in session for only
four hours each day. The resolution
recites various phases of the litigation
including a statement that the rail
road companies agreed to establish
certain rates within Missouri In viola
ton of the state antitrust law. 1t
stated that the two judges rendered
certain decisions which in effect
usurped the legislative powers of the
legislature.
Judge Mcpherson is assigned to the
southern district of Iowa and pre-
sides at the sessions Of the federal
court in Ottumwa. but he was called
into the Missouri district on the rail
road rate cases. The case was argued
before Judge Nc Pherson in proceed
ings brought by eighteen Missouri:
|TailreaSls affeGted \ u the 2scent -facs
law and Judge Mcpherson in I
lengthy opinion held the law to DC
confiscatory and thus unconstitutional
Subsequently in a supplementary
ruling Judge Mcpherson practically
set aside an injunction secured by
the state of Missouri in the state
courts to prevent the roads from re
turning to the increased fare basis.
Judge Mcpherson is in Kansas City
today and could not be seen regard
ing the charges made by Congress
man Murphy.
