-Nena Bouthan, the lS-year-old
daughter OF Anthony Bouthan. we'll
known farmer living near Erovement.
Leelanm county, killed herself yes
terday by shooting with ashotgun.
Her dead body was found in chair
in a sitting position She had ended
her life before a crucifiX. The load
from the shotgun. when belonged to
her father. had passed through her
heart
Mrs. Bouthan made the horrible dis
covery as she entered the house on
her return from attending services at
the Proyement church with other
members of the family. Several young
er brothers and sisters accom- panied
their parents 10 church and Vena had
been left at home alone to attend to
the house work and prepare the din
ner.
The mother nearly tainted at the
terrible sight that met her eyes as
she entered the parlor and found her
daughter with her head resting upon
her breast and her LIES blood stream
ing from a gaping wound in her right
side. She managed to stagger to the
door and call Mr. Bouthan, who had
driven TO the barn with the children
to unhitch and care for the team.
The circumstances indicated that
Vena had carefully planned suicide.
She had first placed the crucifix upon
the large box stove in the parlor.
Then securing her fathers shotgun
and placing the butt against the stove,
she sat upon a chair, which she had
drawn up close to the stove. and lean.
ing forward pulled the trigged as she
faced the crucifix, with the muzzle OF
the gun against her right breast.
The only theory advanced is that
her act may have resulted as a reac-
ton from season of social activities
which were brought to an end by the
coming Of the L.enten season. causing
her to become moody and restless.

(From a stan correspondent.)

LANSING. Mich. March S.-There
are prospects OF interesting sessions
in the legislative halls this week be-
cause OF the investigation by the sen.
ate and house committees of the
methods used in selling state tax
lands. Rep MaXey, OF Baraga wno
instigated this inquiry and who is
leading in the probing, says he has
heard charges made against him OF
being ii land Spectator: tnat ne IS
pushing the investigation because OF
selfish motives, and that his char.
acter would be attacked before the
inquiry ends.
Let that come" he said. 81 court
the investigation because it would
open the way for us 10 dig down 10
the very bottom of all the department
deals"
There is evident reluctance by state
department officials 10 give straight
answers on many questions which u
The committees seem OF vital import
ance. At the next hearing, on Tues
day, those who are brought before the
committee for questioning may have
to be put under oath. Then there
will be joint hearing, but the senate
members are antagonistic 10 the house
plans and this may bring out the
pyrotechnics. 1t is charged that GER
tain senators intend to block the in
vestigatiCn and defeat the MaXey
movement 10 stop all sales OF state
tax lands.
The state department officials say
they have no legal authority to stop
the sale OF tax lands. which indicates
that the sales are being made There
is a clash OF legal opinion about the
legislative resolution being sufficient
authority to stop the sales. Attorney
General Bird advised Deputy Auditor
General Simpson TO follow the law
and not the resolution, while Attorney
Fred G.. Baker, OF Detroit, sends his
opinion to Rep. MaXey that the reso-
luton is proper legal authority by
which TO stop the sales.
