Old Romance of the Dance Hall Ends
in Tragedy, with Webb n.
Parkinson as the
Victim
fsneclal to The HeraId.l ]

COLDFIELD, New, Oct, 28-A dou-
tT bic tragedy occurred here early
W this evening as the result of
love story and romance known not
even to their intimate friends, when
Webb H. Parkinson, one of the best
known brokers of this city, president
of the Goldfield Investment company,
was shot and killed by woman who
claimed to be his wife.
After killing Parkinson the woman
turned the revolver against herself
and fired a bullet through her breast.
Her recovery is doubtful.
The shooting occurred in the living
rooms back of the offices of the Gold
field Investment company. Just what
occurred between the man and the
woman is not known. The first knowl-
edge of the tragedy occurred when the
body of the man and the unconscious
woman were found close together.
Then it was discovered that the wo-
man formerly was known here as Bon
ita and that she was an inmate of
Jake's dance hall four years ago.
There, it is said, she met and became
infatuated with Parkinson. He was
infatuated with her and, if the wo-
mans story is true, the couple were
married in Oakland two years ago.
Vengeance Threatened
Then came prosperity for the man
and denial for the woman. A week
ago the woman reappeared in this city
after a long absence and threatened
vengeance on Parkinson if he refused
her recognition as his wife. The end
came this evening.
Webb Parkinson was we'll known and
popular in Goldfield. He was mem
ber of the Montezuma club and of
other social organizations in this city.
Energetic as a broker, he did much to
make Goldfield well known among the
mining camps of the world in the early
days.
He came to Goldfeld first in 1904
and at that time the pick and pan
were his implements of labor. He first
entered the young city on prospect
ing trip and at that time had little
idea of entering the brokerage busi-
ness.
Born in Fort Worth, Tex, he went
to Colorado when a boy and his young
er years were passed in the mining
camps of the Centennial state. When
he was 10 years old he went into the
mines and worked his way through
Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico,
until finally he arrived at Goldtield,
before the big days of the camp.
Owned Many Properties
In the fall of 1905 he decided to give
up manual labor and looked around
for a wedge by whichohe could enter
the brokerage business. The Goldffeld
Investment company was the result
Although at first he was not "the
whole. company he soon became such.
He gained a controlling interest in the
Florence Extension, Black Butte Ex-
tension, Black Butte Bonanza, Gold
field Midnight Pawnee, Ruby Gold
Mining company and the George
Washington.
Branch offices were opened by Par
kinson In San Francisco, Stockton,
Chicago, Los Angeles and New York.
He was a director in the Goldfeld
Mining stock exchange and 'also held
a seat on the exchange in San Fran
cisco.

MAKES BIG GIFT
TO FIGHT WORM
ROCKEFELLER GIVES MILLION
TO HELP SCIENCE
Commission Is Organized to Expend
Large Sum In Crusade Against
Parasite Which Causes EazI-
ness Among Students
tBy Associated Press. ]

NEW YORK, Oct. ga gift of one
million dollars by John D. Rockefeller
to fight the "hook worm disease was
announced at the office of the Standard
Oil company here late today.
A dozen we'll known educators and
scientists, SELECTED in large part from
institutions of learning in the south,
where the parasite is prevalent, were
called in conference with Mr. Rookie
feller's representatives at the Standard
Oil company's offices last Tuesday, and
at that meeting Mr.. Rockefeller's desire
to organize a commission to carry on a
campaign against the malady was dis
cussed.
AS result the Rockefeller commits e.
sion for the eradication of the hook
worm disease was organized.
The members of this commission as
selected by Mr.. Rockefeller include: DR..
William H. Welch, professor of pathol-
ogy in Johns Hopkins university; DIR.
Simon FleXner, president of the Ameri-
can Medical association; DIR. Charles
w. Stiles chief of the division of
zoology, United States public health
and marine hospital service, and dis
coverer of the American species of
hook worm and the prevalence of the
disease in America and Starr j. Muir
ply, Mr.. Rockefeller's counsel, and
John d. Rockefeller, Jr.
Writes Each Letter
In calling these men together Tues
day, Mr.. Rockefeller addressed to each
a letter pointing out his interest.
The members of the commission, in
framing a reply to Mr.. Rockefeller's S
offer of $1,0OO,000, declared that the
proposition met with their heartiest
approval.
1.-TWO millions of our people are in
fected with this parasite" they added.
1T is by no means confined to one
class; it takes its toll of suffering and
death from the intelligent and well-to-
do as well as from the less fortunate" >"
The "hook worm" according to New
York medical authorities, is a hair
like parasite to which is charged a
form of anemia prevalent especially
among the poor people of the south.
In December, 1902, DR.. Charles War
dell Stiles, then zoologist in the
bureau of animal industry at Wash
ington, who had been studying intes-
tinal parasites, announced to the Pan
American sanitary congress his con-
viction that the so-called "laziness"
and "shiftlessness' widely observed in
certain portions of the south, was a
specific disease due to the "hook
worm"

LEY Associated Press.l

LONDON, Oct 28.-Mrs. Chaplin, a
suffragette, furnished an early morn
ing thrill at the Bermondsey bye
election today when she smashed a
bottle containing. corrosive acid on a
ballot box.
Her intention evidently was to de-
stroy the ballots in the box as a pro-
test against the exclusion of women
from the right of franchise. What she
accomplished was the painful burning
of some of the election officers and the
assurance of her own arrest.
Slipping into one of the booths
where perhaps 1000 ballots had been
deposited, Mrs. Chaplin drew from un-
der her cloak a bottle in which ink
had been mixed with corrosive acid
and before she could be stopped, hurled
the bottle upon the box. 1t broke into
many pieces and the acid splashed on
the election officers.
A number of officers were so seri-
ously burned as to require medical
attention.
About the some time a similar out
rage was attempted at another booth
by a girl who wore the suffragette
clothes. In the latter instance little
damage was done beyond the burning
of the finger tips of the election Off
cials who removed the bits of broken
glass.
Ballots Are Saved
So far as could be learned not much
acid reached the ballots in either case.
Later in an interview, Miss Christo-
bel Pankhurst, while deploring the
injuring of the officials, asserted with
much emphasis:
1T is the government that is respon-
sible. 1t is the government that drives
women to these acts"
The secretary of the league is Mrs.
Edith Martyr. In an interview follow
ing the attack on the ballot boxes Mrs.
Martyr said:
1--WE thought as Premier Asquith
has not shown himself amenable to
our requests the time had come to
take more active measures. Our plans
were thought out most carefully and
we found delight in the opportunity
to carry them out on the anniversary
of the Grille protest in the house OF
commons, which was perpetrated by
the Women's Freedom league.
"Our object this morning was to in
validate the election. We have
formed various plans and these would
have" been tried during the day had
this one failed"
Demonstration Made
On October 2S, 1908, a suffragette
demonstration was made in the wom-
ems gallery during a sitting of the
house of commons. When attendants
sought to empty the galleries they
found that two suffragettes had firmly
chained themselves to the grille or
lattice from behind which feminine
eyes must view the proceedings of the
house For time the two voluntary
prisoners resisted the efforts made to
remove them

rado Springs and Rapid City, S. d.
At today's session among important
matters considered was the report of
the resolutions committee of the con-
gress.
In the report adopted the sentiment
against the policies of the interior and
Indian departments with reference to
Withdrawals of public lands is eX-
pressed. At least two of the resolu-
tions call the attention of the govern
ment to the matter.
One of these asks the government
to thoroughly investigate the with
Crawal from entry of more than a
million acres of public land in northern
Montana to allot it to 125 Canadian
Indians known as the Rocky Boys.
The resolution concludes:
"And if the facts are found to be as
recited herein, to reopen these lands
to settlement by actual farmers"
The resolution refers to the immense
areas of unsurVeyed land in sections
now rapidly being settled; urges upon
the government their early survey and
requests members of congress to give
Inelf attention TO the SUBJECT
Another resolution petitions the gov
ernment to classify and make subject
to sale to actual settlers the millions
of acres of rough mountain lands un-
fit for dry farming as grazing lands.
The resolution suggests that such
lands should be sold only to persons
residing in the vicinity; that payments
should continue over a period of ten
years before patent would be issued.
