A Maiden's Way.

A nifty dress, roguish smile
That's a maiden's way;
A bit flirtatious all the while,
That's a maden's way;
Perhaps new beau every night,
Or fancy bonnets out of sight,
Pehaps ten suitors in plight
That maiden's way.
A laugh that's filled with witchini
grace,
That's a maden's way.
Or else a shy look on her face
That's a maiden's way.
simple word that makes men try
To scale the mountain, sail the sky
Or stick dragon in the eye
That's a maiden's way,
A word of sympathy and love
That's a madens way;
When skies are darkened up above,
That's a maiden's way;
A trust more true than heavens bliss,
Companionship when Fate's amiss,
A cheering word-a single kiss
That's a maiden's way.

Many Believe Woman Had No
Authority to Leave Es-
tate to Husband.
NUMBER OF CLAIMS FILED
SEVERAL OF WOMAN'S RElA-
TIvES ASK TO BE REIMBURSED
FOR CARING FOR HER AND
KEEPING HER HOUSE.

The opinion is held by a number Of
attorneys of the Wayne County Bar
association, that William H. Harris,
who is serving two to fourteen years
sentence in the Michigan City peniten-
tiary for murderous assault on John
D. Lancaster, last summer, can not in
herit the property of his deceased wife.
Mrs. Sarah Jane Kerlin Harris. who
died about ten days ago.
Considerable interest is manifested
made by relatives of the deceased to
break her will, in which she gave prac-
tically all her property to her husband.
Some of the attorneys say that. Mrs.
Harris only had life interest in the
property, and that when it was given
to her by her father. the late Elijah
Kerlin, he provided for its future dis
posal after her death.
A number of claims against Mrs.
Harris's estate were filed in the cir
cult court today. The claims include:
Edna Bymaster, 800: Irwin Hart, $14:
Alice Kerlin, S13.65: Elizabeth NJ. Har-
vey, $23.56; and Sophony Morrow, $14.

BASIS FOR NEGOTIATION
ALONG THE LINE OF THE SEN
IORlTY QUESTION IS PROPOSED
-ANSWER OF THE EMPLOYEES
BEING AWAITED.
(American News Service)


Chicago, March 21.-Labor Commits
sioner Neill today submitted a definite
offer to the Brotherhood of Firemen,
to negotiate along the line of the SEN
iority question. The firemen have
been insistent on both seniority and
representation rules. Upon the an
swer of the firemen now depends peace
or a strike.
The immediate calling of the biggest
railroad strike since 1894, was immi-
nent today. Fighting for even min
utes to prevent the action, were Inter-
State Commerce Commissioner Knapp
and Labor Commissioner Neill. who
brought their labors to climax after
more than four days of futile attempts
to bring peace between the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and En-
ginemen and forty-nine railroads.
Standing seemingly, immovable
from their position are the representa-
tives of 2S.OOO members of the en-
ployees' organization while apparently,
equally determined not to yield a point
are the general managers of the af-
fected railroads which have a total
mileage of 10000 in the west.

(American News ServIre)

Albany n Y, March Ex-Governor
Hughes has won the first stage of
one of his hardest fights-that to
put the telephone and telegraph COM
panies under the jurisdiction of the
public service commission. The re-
port of the special legislative COM
mittee appointed to investigate the
subject, which is to be presented to
the legislature tonight recommends
the adoption of the Hughes plan.
Coming after long contest in
which it appeared that the Governor
would be defeated this report was to-
day declared to be the most signifi-
cant document yet written in the
struggle between the reactionary state
leaders and the national administra-
ton, backing Governor Hughes, for
the control of the Republican party
in New York. ....- -
Has Bearing on Graft.
The report has a strong bearing
on the proposed extension of the in
tion in Albany and particularly the
new revelations in the fire insurance
investigation.
The stand of the national leaders
was already known, but the visit of
President Taft to Albany brought it
out more clearly in a most significant
manner. 1t was widely noted that
during his stay in the state capital,
he utterly ignored Senator George H.
Cobb, the new senate majority leader
and President Pro Tenn, elected by
State Chairman Woodruff and Will
liam Barnes, Jr., the Albany leader,
and their adherents, in defiance of the
wishes of the Washington Republi-
cans.
So far, since that defying of the
greater powers, the battle has been
with Governor Hughes. The insur.
ance investigation at New York con.
Quoted by his Lieutenant, state insur.
ance Supt. Hotchkiss, in which start.
ling revelations were made at the
start. with more promised, is regard
ed as brilliant piece of strategy by
the Governor.

Washington. March 21.-lu the
hour of triumph the insurgent Repub-
licans. who wrested from Speaker
Cannon a tremendous share OF his
great powey are refusing to accept
the lesser fruits of victory. They are
resolutely putting aside the offers of
even one place on the expanded rules
committee. With one member Of the
committee on rules the insurgents
could unite with the four Democratic
members and deadlock the committee.
With two members OF the committee
they often would hold the balance
power.
A Pertinent Question.
But why not take all six Of the
places at the disposal of the majority
party. is the question being asked.
This suggestion does not meet with
favor. The insurgents take the high
ground that their glorious and sue
cessful fight was made on the ques-
ton of principle: having established
that principle they are in no hurry
TO divide the spoils OF victory. An
other suggestion is that the insur-
gents are reluctant under existing
conditions and. at this stage OF the
session. to assume responsibility for
the enactment Of legislation demand
ed by the administration.
The insurgent leaders view the me-
mortal struggle OF last week with al
most complete satisfaction. That II
was great victory is conceded by
both sides of the chamber. Just how
| single a victory 1t was may be judged
by the zeal with which Democrats are
viewing the insurgents In saying,
