CHOOSING DELEGATES
Supreme Lodge of FraternaI Brother
hood Adopts New Eules In Re-
gard to the ouadrennaI
Conventions

Yesterday was busy day at the ses-
sions of the supreme lodge of the Fra
ternal Brotherhood. the day being
given up largely to routine, but neces-
sary work. 1t was the fifth day of
the present session and was marked by
several important rulings.
The work of adopting the constitution
of the supreme lodge was practically
completed. The changes included the
adoption of the grand lodge plan in
states of 5000 members or more, for
lesser districts a unit of 1900 for each
delegate to the supreme lodge. The
method Of electing delegates in these
lesser districts was changed so that the
candidates must secure nomination by
petition of fifty or more beneficiary
members, and the person so nominated
must be placed on the official ballot by
the. supreme secretary. Grand lodge
states will follow the representative
system.
The date of holding the quadrennial
convention was changed from March to
June An amendment is under discus
sion to permit the convention to be
held elsewhere than in Los Angeles,
providing the supreme lodge should
deem 1t advisable to accept at any time
the numerous invitations from other
states. This amendment is still before
the session.
Last night the visiting women MEM
bers were entertained at theater
party and the men were the guests of
La .Grande lodge, No. 8, In Alhambra
hall Today will mark the closing sea-
sions of the supreme lodge, the finale
to be a banquet this evening at the

FATHER OF klDNAPER
GRIEF STRICKEN, BUT
DECLINES TO AID HER

CHICAGO, March 26.--That William
McDermott, retired member of the
Chicago fire department, is the father
of MRS. James H. Boyle" who, with
her husband, is charged with the kid
mapping of Willie Whitla, was confirmed
by the grief-stricken father today.
Anna McDermott, according to her
father. was one of the prettiest and one
of the brightest children in the neigh
borhood when a child. She was given
every advantage of education and care
full moral training, but as she APP
preached womanhood she fell into conf
pany of which the old fireman did not
approve.
Quarrels were frequent and about
three years ago Anna eloped. Since
that time her history has been a blank
to her Chicago kin. Even the man
with whom she cast her fortunes was
unknown to them. Mr.. McDermott has
two other daughters who are married.
Mr.. McDermott said today:
"She has left the path of rectitude
and brought disgrace upon us. I shall
do nothing for her."
1t was not only at the McDerrnott
home that MRS. Boyle" was recog-
nized. Her identification as Anna Nc
Dermott was Illuminating to followers
of pugilism.
After she left school, but before she
left home, she worked as a stenograph-
er for doc" Messenger. known for
years as fight promoter. Among her
friends OF that day were Howard Carr,
better known as kid" Howard, also a
fight promoter. After she left Messen-
gers employ, however, she was heard
of infreqHently. During the three
years the girl had been away from
home only one communication had been
received from her. A year ago she
and said:
II have been married to New York
millionaire. papa"
Recognizing the voice. Mr.. McDer-
mott hung UP the receiver and said he
did not wish to hear any more from
her.
, One of MRS. Boyle's" sisters is Mrs.
J. j. Obermeyer of Kouts. Ind. The
other is Mrs. o. B. Halligan of Prince
ton, Ind.

TARIFF DEBATE
LEADS TO ROW
EISTlCUFFS BARELY AVOIDED
IN CONGRESS
Non-Assessmen of Gems Declared of
No Benefit to Laborers-"Why
Not include Baboons?"
Asks Scion
IRy Associated press.l

WASHINGTON, March 26.-The mon
otony of the tariff debate in the house
was relieved for time today by a clash
between Messrs. Fordney of Michigan
and Byrd of Mississippi. which came
near ending in blows.
Mr., Fordney had been discussing the
lumber schedule, when he was inter-
rupted by the Mississippian, who IN
sisted the lumber manufacturers, or
whom Mr.. Fordney was one, were in
trust.
Mr.. Fordney promptly denied the
statement and said Mr.. Byrd did not
know damned thing about it."
Mr.. Byrd made move toward MI
Fordney and was in the act OF remov-
ing his coat when some or his Demo-
cratic colleagues interfered.
1t developed later that the incident
had grown out of a misunderstanding.
Both men made explanations and apol-
ogies.
Mr.. Fordney in his speech pleaded for
better protection on lumber In the
rough. Opposed to him was Mr.. How
land of Ohio, who wanted the product
placed on the free list.
others who spoke were Messrs. Pou
of North Carolina and Macon OF Ar
kansas, both of whom arraigned the
PAYNE bill for not accomplishing what
was claimed for, while Mr.. Humphrey
OF Washington advocated a tariff on
shingles AMI lumber to be high enough
to enable the lumber and single man
ufacturers of his state to compete with
those of British Columbia, employing
cheap oriental labor.
Mr.. Macon of Arkansas censured the
provision putting such articles as UNI
cut diamonds, rubies, sapphires and
other precious stones and old works or
art on the free list.
He demanded to know what class or
labor their free importation to this
country would benefit. Laborers hardly
ever wore diamonds, he said, and they
never bought old paintings.
TIe argued that these provisions were
placed In the bill in the interest of
rich people who had means to squander
for ornamental purposes.
Mr.. Macon ridiculed the free list OF
the pending bill and said that wnile
1t was drawn as sop to the American
people it ought to be received as an
insult to their intelligence.
He said balm of Gilead, dried blood,
worm gut and divi-divi, kindling wood,
leeches. MAINS and pulu had no moro
right to be on the free list than English
sparrows and African balloons. And
vet" he said, "they are some OF the
things that are set forth In the free
list as a make-believe that there is g
disposition on the part of the party In
power to give to the American people
some things free Of duty"

CLAIMS HE LOST THOUSANDS
INSTEAD OF ONLY $3.50
Race Track Man Held UP and Robbed
Gives Revised Account of
Amount

The conflicting stories told by Fred
erick Stearns, the race track follower
who reported to the police Thursday
night that he was held UP at the cor
ner of Second and Olive streets and
robbed of $3.50, have puzzled the police.
When Stearns first reported the rob-
berry he stated that $3.50 was in his
pocket, which the highwaymen OBJ
tanned, but early yesterday morning he
returned and stated that he made
mistake in the amount which he lost
and that it was $1,000 that the highway
men obtained.
Stearns represented himself to be a
well-to-do person who had been fol-
lowing the races at Arcadia and that
he was walking with young woman
when the holdup happened.

VINCENNES, Ind, March 26.--Mrs.
Jessie Lee Overton Culbertson, the
young woman of mystery, sad-hearted,
though bride of three months, was
not murdered. She was self-slain.
OF this there is no doubt, and her
husband and relatives acknowledged
today that their suspicious that she
was killed at the instigation Of another
woman for jealous revenge were I'M
founded.
The trunk of miniature skeleton
which had been attached to the skull
found by the side of Mrs. Culbertson
when she was discovered gagged In the
shed near her home last Wednesday
after swallowing carbolic acid, was
picked up late today near the scene of
the tragedy.
1t lay concealed beneath a pile of
debris, where the disheartened girl
had placed it after she had detached
the head and attached 1t to the threat
ening letter which she thought would
lead the authorities to believe she was
murdered for revenge.
Positive proof that Mrs. Culbertson
wrote the anonymous threatening let
tiers to herself has been established.
A letter she wrote to her husband at
Bridgeport is writte-i on stationery
similar to that upon which she penned
the anonymous note.
Culbertson, while accepting the sui
eide theory, said:
II wish Mrs. Longwell in Chicago
would write me an alibi so that
would be satisfied that she has been
cleared of suspicion"
1t was Mrs. Eta Longwell, formerly
of vincennes, whom the Culbertsons
and Joshua Brazelton, stepfather of
the young husband, had been led to
suspect sought to injure Mrs. Culbert-
son.
"Her name should be cleared by all
means" said Culbertson. II cannot I'M
derstand why Jessie should kill her
self. She was strange, though, and
now that all this has happened I am
able to recall many things. She never
would tell me about Ter past except in
a general way.
"She said her father and mother
were dead. I have heard that she for
merly lived in Waco, Tex, and In
Dublin, Tex, where she is said to have
brother. I have tried to commune
cate with relatives, but cannot get any
word from them"
