.STRYCHNINE IN
PACKAGE OF TEA
Attempt to Murder Two Prom
inent Seattle Women by
Means of Poison.

Portland, Oct. 6.-What proves to have
been an attempt to murder Mrs. Lola G.
Baldwin, superintendent of the depart
ment of young women Of the Young Wo-
mems Christian association, and another
unnamed woman, the divorced wife of
an alleged suspect, is revealed through
the chemical analysis of two packages
or tea mailed from Seattle on Aug. II,
addressed to Mrs. Baldwin and the di-
vorcee. Mrs. Baldwins suspicious We're
aroused by the peculiar appearance of
the package and she consulted a physi-
clan, who informed her that the tea con
tanned enough stTyChnine to kill a small
army.
About the same time a similar pack
age of tea was delivered to the unnamed
divorce, whose suspicious We're also
aroused, with the same result. Both pack
ages undoubtedly were mailed by the
same person, and the police have under
surveillance the former husband of the
divorced woman, whose name they refuse
to divUlge. 1t is alleged that Mrs. Bald
win, through her charitable work in say
ing young women, aroused the enmity of
this man, who swOre to make away with
her.

HEAD CUT OFF
BY STREET CAR
Richard Solomon Falls on the
Track and Is Terribly Man.
gled Under Wheels.

Richard Solomon, aged so years, liv-
ing at Seventh East and Seventh South
streets, fell beneath the wheels of a
WandameTe car at Seventh East and
Sixth South streets at 8 O'clock last
night and was instantly killed.
The front wheels passed over his left
shoulder and diagonaIly across the neck
and face, severing his head from his
body.
Solomon had crossed the tracks on the
south side of the street directly in front
of a northbound car, which slowed down
to let him cross. When entirely clear
of the track, he turned about, staggered
a few steps and lurched backward onto
the track. It happened so quickly that
MotOrman William Cooking had no
time to drop the fender or stop the car.
Solomon was not more than three feet
ahead of the car when he fell. His
quivering body, with the head dangling
by mere shreds of skin and flesh. was
picked out from between the wheels Of
the front truck. The skull was crushed
in five places, and his features were
blotted out entirely, the wheels having
passed directly over the nose and
mouth.
Several women passengers, who
alighted at the same corner, are said
to have been frightened by Solomon's
actions. 1t is believed he had been
drinking. Solomon crossed the street
in a bewildered manner. He had gotten
off at the wrong corner. Hesitating a
moment he turned and crossed the
street again, meeting his fate as he fell
backward under the nOTthbOund car.
SOlOmOn's queer action in stopping
and plunging backward after crossing
the track in safety gave rise to the sus-
picion that he purpOsely precipitated
himself under the wheels, but eye-wit-
nesses generally believe it was an acct
dent His body was taken to the Evans
undertaking mOre1le.

Attack on Gaynor.

Justice Gaynor has told US that he
has right to take any mans vote, but
there are some votes in New York that
no decent man should care or dare to
take. The Tammany ticket is not enti-
tied to the serious consideration of any
man who pretends to be a friend Of the
city"
Mr.. WINS created a peculiar situation.
Mr.. Heart in a formal statement last
night declined to run for mayor, and
announced that he would support the
candidacy of Judge Gaynor in prefer
ence to Otto 7. Barnard, the Republi-
can nominee.
The only other important development
in the local political situation was a re-
port that District Attorney Jerome,
having failed to get the Tammany in
dOrsement, and in the face of the fu-
siOnist rally in favor of Charles r.
Whitman, the Republican candidate
would quit his independent fight for re-
election. Mr.. Jerome had not confirmed
the report up to a late hour tonight.

renee Lowell seated himself today in the
presidents chair of Harvard university,
from which he proclaimed his policies and
distributed the celebration gifts of the
university to thirty of the men of letters
who came from various parts OF the world
TO pay him tribute.
In outlining his policies, President Low
ell declared himself in favor of men
learning one thing well, and something
of everything. He placed himself on the
side of intercollegiate sports as the only
striking occasion for the display of col
lege solidarity. He also stated his belief
in the segregation of the freshmen and
of the drawing together of the ties among
upper classmen. And, finally. he differed
radically from some of the policies of his
immediate predecessor, Charles w. Eliot.

JEROME MAY QUIT FIGHT

New York, Oct. civilian Ran
dolph Hearst, once defeated for mayor
of this city by George B. Mcclellan,
and later defeated by Charles E.
Hughes for governor of the state, was
nominated for mayor tonight at a
mass meeting of four thousand of his
admirers at Cooper Union.
This action was made despite his
authoritative statement last evening
that he would not be candidate.
Resolutions were adopted directing
that a committee of five be appointed
to take steps for the naming of an en-
tire city, county and borough ticket,
which will be placed in nomination by
petition.
Tonight's meeting was called, accord
ing to its leaders, with a view to show
ing Mr., Hearst that opinion among his
followers in the old Independence
League was so strongly in favor of his
running again as to override even his
positive declaration.
The demonstration which followed his
nomination lasted twenty minutes be-
fore the chairman's call for order could
be heard
Nominated by w. NJ. WINS.
The principal address was made by
William NJ. WINS, who was the Repub-
ican candidate for mayor against
Hearst and Mcclellan four years ago.
Mr.. WINS devoted a few minutes to
the Tammany ticket, headed by Justice
William J, Gaynor.
Justice Gaynor is carrying the ban
ner for the gang" he said. He is the
stalking horse for Tammany. He leads
the weakest ticket that has ever been
placed before New York. In spite of his
judicial position, he has for months de-
voted himself to a cleverly framed and
adrOitly executed conspiracy whereby
the two benefciaries are to be the Judge
on one hand and the band of political
criminals on the other.
